Ethan looked at Mr. David with a surprised look.
“I knew it was worth a fortune, but I didn't know it was that much. I will check on it when I get home. But that aside, do you really think I can do something about this whole thing to get Ava to pay for her own sins?” Ethan asked, pushing away the topic of the old billionaire. “Of course we can. We will schedule a meeting anytime you deem fit. We will go through the court case once more, and I will get a private investigator to go through it again to gather all the necessary evidence we will need against her; then we can proceed to reopen the case with our evidence. We will be good to go,” Mr. David explained thoroughly to Ethan. “Good, that is a hundred percent fine by me. We can meet later somewhere. I have somewhere else to be. Please give me your contact card so I will give you a call later on,” Ethan said. Mr. David nodded and dipped his hand into one of the pockets of his suit and took out his contact card. He gave it to Ethan. Ethan took it and nodded as he put it in his cup holder in the car. “Thank you, lawyer. “I appreciate your help,” Ethan said as Mr. David opened the door of the car to go out. “Don't mention it, Doctor. You have saved my life when I had no hope of ever living again, this is the little I can do to help you out as well. “I will see you some other time,” Mr. David said as he got out of the car. He got out of the car and closed the door after him Ethan started the engine of the car and placed his hand on the steering wheel, smiling. He took a deep breath as he remembered what had just happened in the hall a few minutes ago. He was happy he had been able to stop the contract of Ava from holding, and he had not gotten to know the main reason Ava divorced him. He knew very well Ava was going to definitely hate him for what he had done, but he did not really care. He was back, and all he needed was payback for the betrayal shown by Ava, and that was all he wanted to do. Ethan finally moved his car slowly out of the car park and drove out to the entrance of the hall, leaving through the gates with a smile on his face, while the guards steadily saluted him as he passed. ******************** Ava and Jake got into the back of the chauffeur after Mr. Reginald Frost and his team left. Although both of them were angry at Ethan, they still wondered how the trillionaire who was revered and feared amongst all the business empires would come kneeling down in front of Ethan, an ex-convict. “What was that idiot doing there? You didn't tell me he was going to be there. Why?” Jake questioned Ava, thinking she was aware Ethan was going to be there at the function. Ava gave Jake a sharp and angry stare as if to say, ‘Don't you dare accuse me of this.’ “I don't even know. Ethan just came out of prison and had nothing to his name after that. I don't even know how he is suddenly out here in big functions like this and how people are suddenly referring to him as a doctor. I have reasons to think he went to pay those people to come there just to pull this trick on us and get this deal cancelled. All my hard work for the past two years is going down the drain because of that stupid man. I will not watch him ruin my life,” Ava said angrily with sore, red eyes of pain, one would have thought she was going to cry any moment from now. “I know, Ava. This is another phase we will pass through. You don't have to be sad or anything. We had him the first time, and I know he will fall into our trap the second time. But before that, I want to know if your divorce has been completed and sealed or is still pending.” Jake asked Ava, trying to come up with something for himself and Ava. “It is. He signed the document, and I did. I filed it at the court, and I was told it was going to take three working days to be processed. Today is the second day, so technically by tomorrow morning, I am no longer married to him,” Ava explained. “Good. I have an idea. Why don't you just focus on trying to get your relationship stable with Emily and trying to stabilise your deal? I will deal with Ethan myself. I will pull some strings myself to see what I can come up with. Whatever the case may be, I have Ethan in my palms, and I know what I am going to do to him. I bet he won't see this coming You will still get your partnership with the WINSORS, and I will still deal with Ethan,” Jake explained, gritting his teeth afterwards Ava turned to look at him sharply. “What are you going to do?” She asked, with a glimmer of hope. “I will come up with something, but first, tell me, did you tell him about this event?” Jake asked Ava, referring to Ethan. “Yes, I did, but not in detail. He was trying to guilt-trip me with the fact that he went to jail for me and still loved me, and I was only taunting him that I was now a CEO, was even about to sign a partnership with The Winsor Group, and could not afford to have an ex-convict as my husband. “I don't know how he got to know where exactly it was holding and how he even got invited to the place,” Ava explained. “I see. He doesn't want to rest; he is just starting a war he can never finish, and I am going to make sure I send him back to that shithole.” Jake murmured loudly

Ethan stretched lazily on the couch as he tried to maintain his balance on the tiny bed he lay on.He opened his eyes slightly, and the light from the television hit his face.It was then that he became conscious of his surroundings.He had fallen asleep in the living room after the call with Emily.He sat up on the couch and yawned one more time. He felt better after sleeping that long.As he stood up, he found his mobile phone on the floor. It had fallen when he was asleep.Ethan just picked up the phone, looked at the time and dropped it back on the couch as he walked away into his bedroom.It was already 10 am, and he had a lot of plans for the day.Ethan went to his bedroom and emerged forty minutes later, dressed in a grey t-shirt and a pair of black shorts.He held his car keys in his hand and looked ready to go out.He came to the living room, turned off the television, picked up his phone and walked out of the room, making his way to his car parked in the garage.Ethan sat in
CHAPTER 16
Ava and Jake sat in their Maserati, in the parking lot of a fancy restaurant, chatting. Although the air conditioner in the car was on full blast, Jake was visibly sweating, indicating he had just come in from the outside.“What did you get?” Ava asked Jake as he sat down, dabbing the sweat off his face with a tissue.“Hmmm.” Jake took a deep breath and shook his head.“Nothing. All the information I had on him was what we already know about him.He was a car salesman; he was imprisoned, and now he has been released.There is no record whatsoever that he was or is a medical doctor anywhere in the world. He came out of jail four days ago and is currently supposed to be a homeless guy with nothing, so I am currently wondering where he got the car and all that from,” Jake narrated.Ava’s face was expressionless. “So how do we explain the people who knew him and referred to him as a doctor? The car he drives and all that?” Ava asked, demanding more answers and explanations from Jake.“Th

The phone on a bed kept beeping loudly, disturbing his sleep.He had tried as much as he could to ignore the constant beeping from the phone and get some good rest, but it seemed impossible as the phone kept beeping time and time again without any stop.Ethan lazily stretched his body as he picked up the phone half awake with his eyes partially open.He answered the call and place the phone to his ear while staring up at the ceiling“Hello,” Ethan said in a coarse and lazy voice.“Hello, Doctor, good morning,” a familiar voice said on the line.Ethan somehow recognized the voice at once to be that of Mr. David. He took a deep breath and conversed with him.“Hello, Mr. David, good morning,” Ethan calmly replied to the greeting.Even though he was speaking calmly, he was somehow annoyed at being woken from his sleep by Mr. David. He wondered what kind of news he had that would make him call him that early morning and unknowingly disrupt his sleep“Please watch the news now; you are curr
CHAPTER 13
Ethan drove to his apartment after his session with Mr. Eric Blackwood.It was just a few minutes before 10:00 p.m. when he settled down on a couch in his living room.He sat down and heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he picked up his laptop from the table in front of him.The air conditioning in the room was set to twenty-four degrees, perfect enough for him to feel comfortableHe had changed the channel on the TV to play some R&B music, which he was slowly nodding his head to and singing along softly.In his hand he held the black card Mr Reginald Frost had given him a few hours ago. He wanted to check how much was on that card to see if Mr David was right about what he had told him about the cardThe first information he was able to find about a card was the fact that there were only five people who held that card, and the first name he saw was that of Mr. Reginald Frost.Ethan was puzzled as he stared blankly at the screen. He had now confirmed that Mr. David was right about what
CHAPTER 12
Ethan drove on the highway with his car windows rolled fully up. The air-conditioning was blasting his face, and he had Cher's “Believe” playing loudly from the speaker while he nodded in rhythm with the beat as he drove.The freeway was half empty, and so he drove at a hundred miles per hour without any cause for alarmFor some unknown reason, he felt very good, very satisfied, and a great deal of inner peace.He had not experienced this kind of feeling before and could not tell exactly what made him feel good.Maybe it was because he was out of jail, maybe it was because he was now a rich man, maybe it was because he now had the skill to make him a billionaire, Maybe he was finally divorced from that marriage, or maybe he was just happy to begin to get back at Ava—he did not know, but whichever was the case, he knew everything was falling into place and he had a lot to do, especially with regard to Ava and her new… or maybe old… boyfriend, Jake.Ethan smiled to himself as he thought
