Charles, Chris and Penelope froze.

Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan.

“You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?”

“Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.”

Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices.

Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them.

Triplets?

All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who.

The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black.

The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath.

The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony.

As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade.

    Five Years Later Hiding in her closet with her identical twin brothers, ten-year-old Honey William dangled a chocolate box in their faces. “I’ll give you this if you sit still and don’t say a word until I’m done.” The boys shifted uncomfortably, their eyes pinned to the chocolate box. “Mommy got upset the last time you used us as your face models. Shouldn’t you stop already?” “Yeah, don’t get mommy upset. You know she’s scary when she’s upset.” Honey grimaced and placed a hand on her hip. Lowering her eyes to the boxes, she sighed sadly. “Did you hear that, chocolate? Jaxon and Kaiden don’t want you anymore. I love my brothers, but I can’t do anything if they don’t want you.” “You look delicious, but you have nuts, which I’m allergic to. So I’m just going to drop you in the trash, even if you are Jaxon and Kaiden’s favorite chocolate brand. What a pity they’ve moved on from you.” With a heavy sigh, she slowly walked to the trash, exaggeratedly pressed it open with her foot, a

    Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

    Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You

    In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

    Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

    The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en
