2024-06-13 20:01:05After Ethan was done talking, there was a brief moment of silence that hung over the car. None of them knew what to say afterwards. It was almost like someone had sealed their mouths off with tapes.
"So about the proposition from the Order, are you going to take it or not?" Luke asked, breaking the once sacred silence.
Ethan let out a breath of surrender. "I don't know, Luke. I don't think I can take it. It seems so much like a grand thing to do. Way grander than anything I can undertake.”
"Really? Why?"
"Like I said, replacing Grandmaster Humber of the Order, is not something I think a person like me can undertake."
Luke furrowed his dark eye brows. "That is exactly what I don't understand. You're the Ethan. The one Grandmaster put his faith most in, how can anything be bigger than you who was chosen by him? Grandmaster Humber doesn't make mistakes of this sort. This much I know of him. And he trained you for this day.”
Ethan was quiet for a while.
"Besides what exactly is in this city that you can't leave for the Order anyway?" Luke asked once more, anticipating Ethan's answer.
"I can't tell you," Ethan replied. "Not right now. But I am not saying that I will not go back and take this honor that has been bestowed upon me, I just mean that right now is not the Right time."
Luke took some time to stare at him, as though he was trying to ponder on his words, to see the reasons why he wouldn't come.
In a short while, he broke out into a sigh of relief. "Okay," he said. "But I still stand by my advice, come and take the mantle into your hands. We need you at this moment, Ethan."
"I know. I'll be back soon, Luke. Just please help me keep everything tidy while I'm away. I will be back soon. I just need to finish up the task at hand. I know you will understand. You are Luke."
"It's cool, I understand." Luke nodded. "But before you go, let's exchange contacts. A lot of people don't know you are alive. A lot of people think you are dead as we speak. For this reason, when Grandmaster Humber named you as his successor it caused an uproar. Because many people don't know that you are alive. They thought that the Grandmaster sure must have been crazy to have picked you who were not around, when there were so many others to pick from."
"Of course, I expected that." Ethan nodded slowly in agreement.
"There are also subordinates of the Order in this city. I will give you their number soon enough. Anytime you need anything, don't be afraid to reach out."
Luke gave him the contacts. and stopped the car somewhere Ethan had previously told him to stop. Ethan went down from it.
"I hope to see you soon, brother," Luke said, placing the first two fingers of his right hand on his forehead as a form of salute and solidarity. "Farewell, new supreme leader!"
Ethan did the same. Luke drove off after that, leaving Ethan holding nothing but the bags of clothes in his hands.
"And now I have to go to the mall," Ethan said, walking away. "This is all too stressful," he said.
But he did go back to the mall. He did get the clothes, the right ones that Kelly had wanted him to get. This time she called him back like she had been monitoring him through some hidden camera in his phone.
"Hello," he greeted.
"Did you get the clothes?" She asked just as she had questioned before, without no regard for his greetings.
"Yes," he said, showing the clothes to her, without her asking.
"Good." She immediately hung up the call after saying that, much to his surprise. He was wondering just how she could be so erratic when she sent a text to him in the next minute.
"I want to see you in a hotel right this instant," the text read. "Come to The Beach Side hotel."
A hotel, he thought. Well this is getting far too interesting. He couldn't help but feel a crushing awkwardness.

Ch. 13: The Family Dinner.
Ethan was now seated on the dining table. And just as he had expected. There were a barrage of questions that he needed to answer. The family did not disappoint in their questioning. They kept on with it, he was not even able to catch a moment's breath without a question flying his way."So, Ethan," the father began after sipping from a porcelain cup. "You do have a full name right? Tell us."Kelly remembered then, which was a little bit too late that she did not create a a fake name for him. She tried signalling to him but before he could detect that he had already spilled."Ethan McKenna. My surname is McKenna." "Ethan McKenna huh? I have never heard of such a name. Who is your father?"That was the question. The one that could have a grown man cry because his father is actually nobody. Kelly was dying inside of her at this point."His father died when he was rather young," Kelly rushed in to answer. She had already fucked up for not thinking or asking about the details of his past
Ch. 12: Meet The Family.
It was dinner night at the Redmond's household. It was one especially set up for a particular event.In the morning of that day, Noah Redmond, the head of the Redmond household and his wife, Stella Redmond, had seen some strikingly unbelievable photos of something they had never thought would become real till the day they got into the grave. But the pictures looked real, and became even more real when their daughter, Kelly had posted it herself.That night at the dining table while they waited for her to come home with the man she was getting married to, Stella the mother said, “So your elder sister is getting married. And we don't seem to know who the man is. Does any one of you know? I'm very concerned about this."Brie, Kelly's younger sister, sat across from her mother with her own fiancé. A man that went by the name Drew Declan, a successful businessman from a family recognised as one of the leading political dynasties in the country."Of course, I wouldn't know. Who in the hell
Ch. 11: A Fake Proposal.
They had gone on for all night, and collapsing on the bed only due to fatigue. Kelly was insatiable, and to her luck, it seemed that, Ethan was inexhaustible, strong like a bull. She woke up, her eyes tearing to the ceiling, her body entwined into his on the bed. He was asleep, but not for long.Oh how long had it been since she once had a man in her bed drive her like this, or have a man enter her as Ethan had done, and did rather marvelously, that her head spun and she smiled, strangely happy to have experienced the magic of last night, and wanting to experience it again. She was a sex addict and was never lacking of a lover who she stationed to always satisfy her urges. None of the so-called lovers had ever done half of what Ethan did to her that night.She rolled over and then kissed the neck of the sleeping Ethan. And when he did not wake up, she bit it. The pain, mixed with pleasure woke him up immediately and he remembered where he was; on the bed of a nymphomaniac. "You've ha
Ch. 10: The Hotel.
Ethan could not remember the last time he was in a hotel. It could have probably been two to three years, he could not recall. So being at The Beach Side hotel on a night like that, caused him great discomfort.He took up his phone and called her at once. She picked up the call and he said, "Hello, I'm here at the hotel.""Great. Come to the bar. It's easy to recognize. It's a little beach bar with red and blue light bulbs that spread across its exterior like stars." She was clear in her description, and so, he was able to find the place with ease. It was just as she described it. He got in the bar and spotted her right there sitting down sipping what he could say to be some red wine. She gestured for him to come and he came.She wore an open back loose blue gown that was also see through. He could spot underneath the gown, a red bra holding her breasts."Like what you see?" She asked dryly, making him stumble as he was about to sit down."Oh." He gasped, feeling embarrassed that sh
Ch. 09: Sandy And Family.
The door opened to a room painted all white, and Sandy came in. She had a look on her face that made it known to everyone in the room that something had recently gone down but the look itself was neither happy nor sad.Her mother was sitting on a chair close to a bed. A doctor stood over the bed, and on the bed was a middle aged man, asleep."Hey mother, how is father doing?" She asked, walking closer to them."Well, the doctor can tell you," the mother said. Her face had a tired expression."Oh," the doctor began, almost nervously. "He's getting better. We are doing our best to stabilise him and his situation. You know the ailment is incurable.”"Please, do all you can," Sandy said, looking at the doctor with pitiful eyes. "Ehm, doctor. Can I speak to my mom privately please?”"Oh, sure can do. I was about attending to something else either way." The doctor left in a few minutes. "So, mother, guess what?" Asked Sandy, a bit enthusiastically once the doctor left the room."You know t
