Damian refused to take Ethan's call, he rudely responded with a text message, asking what Ethan wanted .

Ethan tried playing nice at first, he asked Damian to focus on why he was hired here and stay away from his wife.

Damian replied. “Why should I do that, Ethan? Are you jealous that your wife finds me attractive? It's not my fault that you are an ugly caveman, maybe if you clear that weird beard of yours, she might spend more time with you.”

At this point, Ethan lost his cool and threatened to fire Damian if he didn't stay away, he also asked him to return the Lamborghini as it was bought with company money.

But his threats didn't prove effective like Ethan had imagined. The new general manager didn't seem scared of him, he had sent him the middle finger emoji and had even threatened to report him to his wife for bullying.

This only further angered Ethan, the audacity of this man to challenge him in his own company. Clearly, Damian knew that Clara would take his side.

Ethan didn't want to pursue this any further, if his wife found out, it would only drive them farther apart and he couldn't let that happen today, he still wanted this anniversary to be celebrated and maybe it will be a new beginning for their relationship.

Ethan was surprised to find out that it was already 8pm, he had been so buried in work that he didn't realize it was getting late. The reservation was by 9:30pm so he needed to be on his way home.

However, on his way off the 20th floor where their company office was, Ethan ran into Clara in the Elevator. She was talking to someone on a video call with a smile plastered on her face, but ended it as soon as she saw him.

Ethan was surprised to see her dressed in a short red sexy gown with long sleeves, she had made her hair and applied make up. She looked very pretty and clearly she was dressed for an outing.

Does this mean she didn't forget their anniversary like he thought? She must have made plans for tonight as well!

He was about to speak when Clara cut him short.

“What do you think you are doing, Ethan?” She asked with a furious expression. “What, now you are stalking me too? That is so disgusting! You know, just because we are married doesn't mean you have the right to control me. You don't own me, Ethan, is that clear?”

Ethan Vale was surprised by her outburst. He guessed he was wrong, she was not planning any surprise for their anniversary.

He thought perhaps she was back to her old habits of clubbing.

Ethan had been the one who proposed to Clara and she accepted him because she had no other options and her life held no meaning.

In the early weeks of their marriage, when Valetech was not yet successful, she would go to clubs every night and drink till she was drunk and all he could do was come pick her up.

Staring at his angry wife, he let out a sigh. “Clara, I am not stalking you. Work hours end at 6:00pm, it's past 8:00pm and so I am on my way home to rest, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want.” He said calmly.

The truth was that Ethan was tired, he already has a lot of pressure from work to have to worry about Clara drinking. Moreover it was their anniversary, if she wanted to spend it getting drunk, then good for her.

Clara was surprised to hear this, she didn't know Ethan was still at the company the whole time.

Just then her phone began ringing again. She answered and a male voice came in asking why she hung up.

“Oh, I was interrupted by…” she suddenly paused and then shook her head. “...Nobody. Don't worry, I am on my way now, I will be there soon.” She smiled and ended the call.

Ethan didn't care to ask who she was speaking to as he recognized the voice: It was Damian Lillard, her first love.

“Where are you going?” He finally asked, unable to hold back the question.

Clara rolled her eyes at him. “That is none of your business. I told you already, you can't stop me from doing anything, I don't belong to you!” She yelled.

“I didn't say you do, and I also already told you that you can go wherever you want to, I am just asking to know for security reasons and for…”

She interrupted him with her laughter. “Did you say security reasons? Like you can keep me safe if I was in any real danger,” she said mockingly. “Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself.”

Ethan sighed. “I was also asking because today is our anniversary.” He announced.

There was a look of surprise on Clara's face, clearly she didn't remember that today was their anniversary, but she quickly covered it with a smile.

“Did you think I didn't know that?” She scoffed. “I am very much aware, why do you think I got you that pair of shoes?” She queried.

Ethan didn't answer her, he remained silent as the elevator reached the ground floor.

They both got into their cars parked in the lot.

“Hey! You better wait till I am out of the lot before you drive out, I don't trust you.” She warned.

Next thing she sped out of the car lot like she was being chased by a demon. Clearly she didn't want him to follow her and Ethan could only imagine why. He already had a stressful day, he didn't have time for that bullshit.

Ethan went home and freshened up. Looking in the mirror, he remembered Damian's mean words and felt his beard in sadness. He barely had time for himself these days.

Immediately, he picked up his shaving stick and shaved it off clean, then he wore a blue long sleeve shirt with black pants ready to leave.

Ethan waited for a while but Clara didn't show up, he tried her number but she didn't answer. He figured she was a no-show and decided to leave.

Since Clara wasn't coming, he decided to go to the restaurant on his own. If she wouldn't celebrate their anniversary, then he would do it alone.

**

In the restaurant…

Staring coldly at the pie on his table, he couldn't bring himself to eat it. He had cancelled the other orders and requested something simple, because he was in a foul mood and had lost his appetite.

Just then a stunning beautiful woman approached him, she seemed to be in a hurry as she looked around to see if she was being followed. Ethan had paid for a VIP table, so there was no one else in that part of the restaurant.

“Hello, Mr. Smith, thank you for coming. I'm sorry I'm late, I was a bit caught up with activities.” She said as she took a seat opposite him and placed her bag on the table.

Ethan was confused, he didn't know who she was or why she was here. Although he was immediately attracted by her beautiful physique and large busts.

“So as we agreed over the phone, the marriage will only be for a few months and I will pay you fairly for your services. Remember, it has to be convincing, no one can know that it is a fake marriage. If you are ready, please sign here.” She said, pushing a paper to him.

Ethan Vale furrowed his eyebrows. “I am sorry, who are you?” He asked in confusion.

  • You cheated, now I'm gone

    Ethan held his cheeks in disbelief. Did she just slap him? What was going on here? He is the one who should be offended, so why was she mad at him?“You bastard!” He yelled and tried to attack Damian but Clara pulled him back and hit him again.“Leave him alone! What are you doing here?” She yelled in embarrassment. “How can you break into someone's house like this?”“You care more about that than the fact that I just saw you having sex with him? I know you are drunk, but don't you have any shame? Letting this animal take advantage of you!”“What?” Clara laughed. “You think I am doing this because I am drunk? You are really naive, I chose to have sex with him, it was my decision!”Ethan was in shock. “What? You are cheating on me!” the reality dawned on him.“So what?” Clara laughed mockingly. “I knew Damian before you, so it's not really cheating.”Ethan couldn't believe his ears, in his twenty-five years of living, he had never heard such words.“So you don't even feel any remorse f

  • Doctor Nexus

    When Clara and Ethan arrived at the event center, Damian was waiting in front of the building. He rushed to Clara's car the moment she parked but his face crumpled immediately he saw Ethan.Damian had not expected that the Ex-CEO would be the one she called to save the day, now Ethan was going to make him look foolish.“Mr. Vale,” he forced a smile.Ethan scoffed. “Mr. Lillard, I am guessing the presentation was a little too complicated for your little brain to handle?”Damian growled and clenched his fist in anger.‘Son of a bitch! I thought we had gotten rid of him for good!’ he thought to himself.“Did you say something?” Ethan asked with a cocky smile.“No, welcome back… Sir.” Damian mumbled.“Come on Ethan, enough with the drama. The investors are waiting.” Clara pushed.“Of course, they are.” Ethan muttered.“Here are the physical documents,” Damian said, handing him a file.“That won't be necessary, in case you forgot, this is my project.” Ethan stated clearly before heading in

  • Where is the real CEO?

    The day of the presentation had come and the hall was filled with potential investors and reporters who had come to witness and record the long awaited project.But Ethan had not shown up, just like he threatened. Clara was shocked by his obstinacy, she had expected him to come running back this morning as the project had been his life's work and what mattered to him the most, but Ethan was a no-show.Clara was pissed, she knew that they needed him but she wouldn't lower her pride or satisfy his ego by calling him, so she sent up the new CEO.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming here today. Allow me to introduce to you, the CEO of Valetech company…”The room was filled with cheers instantly as everyone looked forward to the CEO. Ethan had made the news several times in the past as the next big thing, he was the best graduating student in his set, a recognized tech genius and a lot of companies had offered to hire him right after school, but he met Clara who didn't want to l

  • Stealing for your lover

    Ethan storms into Clara's office and she smiles. “I knew you would come to your senses, it took you too long. And to be clear, the next time you give me such silly conditions, I won't forgive or allow you to come back home.”Ethan huffed and chuckled angrily. “You think I came here to talk about coming home? Me returning home would be the least of your worries if you don't do something about this!” He yelled and pushed the iPad to her table.Clara looked at it with a frown. “What is that supposed to be?” She muttered.“What does it look like?!” Ethan yelled.“Hey, don't you dare raise your voice at me!”“No! You don't get to tell me how to react to this. I know that you have been secretly funneling company assets to Damian Lillard, how could you do such a thing?!”Clara froze when she heard that. How did he find out?“Ethan, it's not what you think.” She said softly and stood up to pacify him.“Oh it's exactly what I think! Now listen to me, you are going to end this bullshit, all of

  • I need my chef back

    Two days later, Ethan couldn't resist returning to work. He couldn't let his disagreement with Clara destroy the company he worked so hard for, so he showed up from the hotel to finish up the presentation.Just ten minutes after he got into the office, Clara barged in. She hadn't bothered to check on him since last night and he hadn't contacted her either. Ethan couldn't help but wonder how she was doing, she seemed fine so he fought back the urge to ask.“So you came to work?” She scoffed. “Listen Ethan, you have to come back home,” she demanded with folded arms.Ethan felt happiness hearing this, perhaps she finally came to her senses. This must mean she missed him, doesn't it? Maybe he was wrong and she really cared about him.But Clara's next words left him stunned.“I am tired of having to order takeaway morning, afternoon and night. I haven't had homemade food in two days, so you need to come home and get back in the kitchen.” she blurted.Ethan sighed and shook his head. Of cou

  • Leftover pair of shoes

    Clara flew into a rage instantly. “You are such an ingrate, Ethan. Do you know how hard it was for me to find those shoes? Who gave you the right to throw something I bought on the floor? Always complaining about everything! You are so bitter.” She blurted.“An ingrate? You gave me something that some other person rejected, a leftover pair of shoes! You pretend to care about our anniversary but you spent it out with someone else. If begging to be treated right makes me a bitter person, then so be it.” He retorted.“Oh please, save me your whole codependent act. I know the Lamborghini Damian got is why you have been acting out all day, he told me what you did! How dare you call and threaten him!”“I didn't threaten him, I just wanted to know what he did to deserve such. Why would you spend that much money to celebrate an employee?”“Hmm,” Clara scoffed. “I just told the finance department to show some appreciation for our top sales representative. Did you seriously need to call and yel
