2026-01-19 04:01:44Ethan 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 it. If you don't reverse all of these assets back to the right control, I am going to walk away, not just from our home or this marriage, but from the company as well.” He announced. Clara's heart skipped in fear. She might no longer fancy Ethan but she couldn't undermine his importance in the company, especially now. “Come on Ethan, don't you think you are overreacting a bit? It was just some million dollar assets, the company can survive without it.” She smiled nervously. “Are you crazy? First off, the company might be in your name but that is not yours to give. I worked my ass off for everyone of that asset, and how could you just steal it for that good-for-nothing and say it's not a big deal? I am telling you to reverse it right now or I quit!” “Bullshit, we both know you are bluffing. You can't quit working here or leave me, what would you do without me? You are too obsessed to think for yourself, you need me.” Clara bragged. “I am not bluffing, Clara. I have put up with your nonsense enough, I am not going to stay silent anymore. In case you forgot, the presentation of the Nexus Home OS to potential investors is tomorrow, the event can't be held without me, the company will fail to secure the investors and it will be a huge blow and possibly the death of the project.” Ethan warned. “Oh please.” Clara rolled her eyes. “You think too much of yourself, if you chose to leave, don't think I will beg you to stay. You are not as important as you think, Ethan Vale.” She fired. Ethan was disappointed to hear that. “So you have made your choice then? You won't reverse the assets? Then I am done here, I quit!” “You are of no importance, Ethan. I am doing you a favor by being married to you, so leave if you want to. I will just replace you with Damian the moment you step out from this building, I am sure he will make a better CEO, after all he knows the project just as well as you.” she mocked. Ethan laughed. “Replace me with Damian? That's a terrible mistake, but we will see how that goes!” He declared and stormed off. “Yeah, go ahead and run like you always do. What a weak man, you are so jealous and insecure. You are doing us all a favor by leaving, no one needs an insatiable man like you here.” Clara rambled as he walked away. “Hmmph!” She folded her arms and stomped her feet in anger. “So this useless man really left? Fine, I will teach him a lesson, I will make Damian CEO, when Ethan comes begging like the lap dog he is, I will make him regret walking out!” She said in anger. T. B. C!!

The King of War
There was a knock on Ethan’s apartment in the evening.Ethan, who had been reviewing regional logistics reports in his study, calmly walked down the staircase to answer it himself. He turned the polished brass handle and swung the door open, only to find three familiar figures standing beneath the porch lights.It was Kara and her parents.Kara stood in the center, her eyes red-rimmed and brimming with tears, her hands trembling as she clutched a small medical file against her chest. Flanking her were her mother and father, both vibrating with an absolute, unbridled fury that distorted their features.Before Ethan could even utter a word of greeting, Kara’s father took an aggressive step forward, shoving a finger directly toward Ethan’s chest. “You absolute monster! You thought you could just play your little games with our family and walk away unscathed?”Ethan remained perfectly still, his eyes shifting calmly to Kara. “Kara? What is th
Master Vance
Mary Jane’s father paced the linoleum floor, his hands wringing together so tightly his knuckles turned white. “You have to do it, Mary! You have to go to him and beg for his forgiveness, accept to marry him! There is no other way out of this nightmare!”“Father, no! I already told you, I would rather die!” Mary Jane cried out. “He is a repulsive, predatory monster! How can you stand there and ask me to hand my entire life over to a tyrant like Master Vance?”“Because if you don’t, we are going to lose absolutely everything!” her mother wept, clutching a damp handkerchief to her face as she stepped toward her daughter. “Mary, look around you! The thugs are going to return with more men. They will burn this roof right over our heads! Your father and I are too old to sleep in the dirt. Master Vance offered to erase every single cent of our debt the moment you sign the marriage contract. It’s a sacrifice, yes, but it’s a sacrifice that saves your family!”“A
Countryside thugs
The dirt-packed paths of the village market were bustling with the mid-morning rush, a chaotic maze of wooden stalls, colorful awnings, and the sharp aromas of fresh produce, dried spices, and livestock.Ethan walked a step behind Mary Jane, his hands casually slid into his trouser pockets. To the casual observer, he looked like an ordinary visitor; he had left his luxury SUV parked back at the farmhouse and accompanied her on foot, wearing a simple button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.But beneath his relaxed posture, his razor-sharp senses were fully engaged. As they moved past the crowded stalls, the shift in the atmosphere was instantaneous. The lively bartering died down, replaced by a toxic, heavy wave of stage-whispers and pointed glares.“Look, there she is. The shameless one,” a woman at a fabric stall muttered, nudging her neighbor.“Back from the city after getting caught, and now she’s dragging some new man around
Mary Jane
The rolling green hills of the York Town countryside were bathed in the soft, muted gold of a late afternoon sun, but the scenic tranquility did nothing to ease the quiet weight settling in Ethan Vale’s chest.He pulled his black SUV to a stop along a narrow, dirt-hemmed driveway leading to a modest, slightly weathered farmhouse.He had made a solemn promise to Sabrina, and the King of War never broke his word.Stepping out of the vehicle, he walked toward the porch, his eyes taking in the peeling white paint of the railing and the old rocking chair resting in the shade. Before he could even knock, the door creaked open.A young woman stepped out, carrying a woven basket of laundry. The moment her eyes locked onto his figure, the basket slipped from her hands, tumbling to the wooden deck.“M-Mr. Vale?”Ethan froze, a sharp pang of guilt twisting in his gut. It was Mary Jane, his former personal assistant. But she was a shadow of
Nico Seaman, you are fired!!
The reflective glass doors of Seaman Technologies didn't offer Nico Seaman the same sense of absolute domain they usually did when he stormed through them. Although his new plan of tarnishing Vale Corp’s image seems to be working, it had cost the Seaman Group a ton of money, and the sting of losing the initial two hundred and forty million dollars was still vibrating through his veins like an electrical current.He didn't bother greeting his assistant as he marched straight toward the main executive conference room, ready to summon his financial analysts and demand a full audit on the state commercial banking clauses. But the moment he threw the double doors open, he stopped dead in his tracks.The room wasn't empty. Sitting at the head of the long obsidian table was his brother, Dave Seaman. Surrounding him were five of the most powerful, stone-faced senior board executives and institutional shareholders of the corporation. The atmosphere in the room was
Lawsuits
The morning sun barely touched the glass facade of Vale Corporation’s tower when Ethan strode into the building.He had been taking the operational side of the company very seriously these days, fully intending to keep his word of completely overtaking Seaman Group of Companies with little or no reliance on his hidden, lethal King Of War alter ego.Arriving at the executive suite, Mario Kart stood pale as a ghost by the door, clutching a digital tablet with trembling hands.“Ethan, we have a massive problem,” she whispered, her voice tight with panic.Ethan frowned, unbuttoning and taking off his suit coat. “Of course we do, Mario. Don't we always? What kind of problem are we facing so early in the morning?”Mario swallowed hard, her knuckles turning white around the device. “Not just one. Dozens, I am afraid.” She held out the tablet toward him. “Thirty-two separate lawsuits were filed against our various subsidiaries and acquisition ass
