2025-06-04 20:13:34HOOKUP WITH A STRANGER
Ethan stretched lazily on the bed with his eyes closed. He could feel his whole body relax calmly, but then he felt a soft hand in his palm. Ethan squeezed the palm with a reflex, and a scream startled him, making him jump up and sit straight on the bed. Ethan turned to see whose scream startled him and saw a lay lying right beside him. He looked around him in shock, trying to recollect his environment. He finally looked at the lady lying beside him. The lady was a beauty. All his life, Ethan thought his wife was the most beautiful woman, but this lady beside him was extraordinarily beautiful. If he were to compare this lady to Ava, Ava was nothing to write home about. While Ethan was still engrossed thinking about the woman in comparison with Ava, the lady kicked him hard, causing him to flinch and jump on the bed The kick immediately brought back memories to Ethan. He could remember going to the bar for a drink to wipe away his sorrows, getting drunk, and getting a drink spilt on him. He went to the washroom to clean himself, and while he was returning, a woman threw herself at him The memories flashed through his mind at once, and it was very evident that it was the same woman beside him now. Now, it was the lady’s turn to be surprised to see herself with a man. Looking at the man with facial hair covering his whole face, she was scared and began retreating slowly, clutching the sheets to cover her body as she shifted to one side of her bed. “Who are you, and why are you on my bed with me?” The lady asked in surprise, covering herself with the blanket. Ethan looked at her with a serious face, fumbling for words “Errm, I can't really tell, though, but it looks like we were both at the bar yesterday. I remember you came to me, and we both came here, but we were both drunk to a stupor.” Ethan tried to explain from the little he could remember The lady seemed unconvinced by Ethan’s explanation. She was looking at her surroundings in shock and stole glances at the strange man beside him, who was telling him tales. Then she also remembered her previous night's experience and began talking, trying to link it with what Ethan had just said. “I remember getting into a bar after work to cool down a bit, and I also remember being drunk at the bar and coming to meet someone. The man drugged me, and I did not know that early on, until I almost passed out. I tried to escape by going to the washroom, and I remember meeting someone, but I don't remember anything else,” the woman said thoughtfully as she also tried to recall what happened Ethan listened attentively. He had finally been able to connect the dots. “I think I was the man. When I brought you here, you told me to escort you in, and I did, and then you made the move. well… I could not refuse… and… well…” Ethan said softly, with a shrug and a voice of regret. He felt pity for the lady Hearing her story, it was as if he had taken advantage of her. The lady looked so traumatised and could not speak anymore Ethan could not speak either and was only with a sad face and a regretful face. Memories of all that happened the previous night suddenly flashed through his mind, and now, he could remember every single scene vividly. “I am sorry that that happened. I was not myself, and I could not resist. I can't actually take the blame because you made the first move.” Ethan said, trying to sound as polite as he could. His words made the Lady nearly laugh. Thinking of herself as the CEO, she slept with this weird-looking guy beside him. It was awkward for her, but the deed had already been done, and there was nothing she could do. “What is your name?” Ethan finally asked the lady “Emily," the lady simply replied. She hinted at a bit of surprise that Ethan did not know her and did not hide it. “You mean to say you don't know me?” Emily asked Ethan, who shook his head in the negative. Emily thanked her stars. At least the strange man didn't even know who she was. She was known by all, but somehow, this man did not even know her, and that only meant she was in luck. She had to protect herself, and whatever happened was supposed to be kept in the dark. If this got to the public, she was going to be in the headlines for a week, and that would affect her and her business drastically. "That is okay, but I need to warn you: whatever happened between us should stay here, and no other soul must know about this. If this goes out, I will make sure you are doomed in this city before I am.” Emily threatened Ethan. She rubbed her hands in her hair in despair as she looked around the room one more time. She looked very serious, and Ethan saw that easily. Although Ethan did not know who this woman was, he was sure from the way she spoke that she was a very popular person and was only trying to protect her integrity, and so he agreed. “Okay, there is no problem with that. ” Ethan assured Emily “Now get out of here!!” Emily said with a strict face. Ethan obeyed at once, quite stunned by the woman's sudden outburst. He picked his clothes up from the ground and quickly wore them and then walked out of the room. Ethan walked to the entrance of the hotel. As he looked around, thinking about where he was going to go, his phone beeped. Checking the phone, he saw a text from Ava telling him to go deal with the final document for their divorce tomorrow. Ethan became frustrated. It was as if he were now some sort of monster. He had come out of jail in less than twenty-four hours, and two women had already rejected him. It was as though he was now wearing a mask. Ethan walked away from the hotel, making his way home. He hadn't walked a few metres when a brand-new Bentley stopped right in front of him, making him stop. Ethan was already frustrated and was now angry with whoever the driver of the car was. Before he could say jack, a middle-aged man got out of the car. The man had a fierce look and wore a very strict face. Ethan did not know who the man was, but the man came straight to him as if they knew each other. Ethan was confused. The man bowed to Ethan respectfully. “Good morning, your majesty. I am Thomas. I was sent to come pick you up.” The strange man introduced himself.

Ethan raised an eyebrow, but Jay continued speaking"So, I simply told my men to track them. So, one set of men were tracking Mr Anderson from his side, and another set were tracking Abraham Lincoln on his side. Abraham Lincoln was on the highway, so generally, he was speeding, and Mr Anderson was also said to have been speeding through the estate road. Nobody knows why, but he seemed like something was wrong as he was driving the car haphazardly.In fact, my people reported that they believed something might be wrong with him. Nobody knew what happened, but right before the intersection where Mr Anderson was supposed to get onto the highway, there was a car crash involving him as he was speeding, and he hadn't slowed down before making the turn. He just literally drove right into the middle of the highway and crashed with another car.In fact, the impact was so hard that my people had to stop tailing and simply go to help and go to the rescue of Mr Anderson and whoever else was invo
CHAPTER 474
Abraham Lincoln sat in the car silently as he waited for clearance from his men before he would move out. He had just got off the phone with Mr Anderson, who was feigning ignorance of what was happening and how he had framed him. Unfortunately, Mr Anderson had hung up the phone in the middle of him talking, and all his efforts to try and reach him again had proven futile.He didn't know what was happening with Mr Anderson, but from the way he had been talking when he was speaking with him, it was clear that there was something wrong with him. He could not tell if he was just trying to act ignorant or if he was indeed sounding that way. Unfortunately, he did not get to know.He sat quietly in his car, waiting for his men to give him clearance that everywhere was safe before he went out. He was driving himself today, and he wanted to go on a cover mission, get to town, quickly check on something, and return before the sun rose. It was early in the morning, and it was a quick time to go

Mr Anderson sat on the bare floor in his living room.He had an almost-finished bottle of whisky beside him as he stared blankly at the wall.He had drunk himself to stupor the whole night, from the whisky bottle, without even thinking of sleep.His wife had tried to stop him, but he had a fight with her, and she walked away, leaving him to his fate.He felt like his world was coming to an end.In just a single day, he had lost billions of dollars in assets, lost investors, and had had all his secret events out in the publicHe knew perfectly well that Abraham Lincoln was behind all of that, yet at this point, there was nothing he could even do about it.His plans to get back at Abraham Lincoln by letting his thugs go after him had proved futile.He was now powerless and could only watch as his entire empire crumbled down right in front of his eyes.It was already 6 am, and he had not even had any proper sleep the entire night.He had only drunk the contents of the scotch whiskey.

CHAPTER 472
About two minutes later, another message dropped in on the phone. "Okay, sir, I already began working on this even before you asked. The report should be ready in a few minutes. I will get back to you as soon as I am able to get anything on any of them. For now, we are just keeping our tabs on all of them and we monitor them throughout. Whatever thing that comes next, we are going to give to you," the message read.Ethan smiled and put the phone back in his pocket as he focused on the television and what the panel was discussing about Mr Anderson. He engrossed himself in looking on the screen and immediately forgot about what he was doing. Then, he soon realised the phone beeped in his pocket. He took it out and checked the message. It was a message from Jay with details on the current scene at Mr Anderson's place and the number of investors who had withdrawn from his business.Ethan read the message carefully. "Mr Anderson has over thirty-five main investors who are, in total, ha
CHAPTER 471
Ethan sat down quietly as the TV came to life, and the contents began showing. He had come to see the news on the TV, expecting to catch the early morning updates from the media about Mr Anderson's incidents and know where to hit next.Fortunately, the TV station did not disappoint. In fact, they were ready for what he was thinking about even before he entered. The newsreader was talking about Mr Anderson's issue, beginning from his warehouse that exploded to his oil refinery that caught fire and down to the document that had been released about him.In fact, it was clear that they had carefully analysed the papers and the document that had been released about Mr Anderson already and were already making analysis on that. From the way they were discussing it, using the evidence provided in the document, it was clear that Mr Anderson was in trouble.In fact, the newsreader also mentioned that the police had already taken on the case and were acting on orders to investigate the matter a
CHAPTER 470
Ethan sat on the edge of his bed with his phone in his hand, staring silently at it as he read some information on it. He had engrossed himself in reading all of the documents that had been released, and he was trying to understand everything that was in there. For the past two hours, he had read about thirty pages already, and the more he went further, the more he felt like reading more because the next page was always revealing.He turned around to look at Keziah, who was fast asleep on the bed. It was already 11 p.m., and he was still not asleep. He was trying to make plans, working with Jay remotely, as he figured out what their next steps were going to be.When he was finally done with the work and his eyes were strained from reading excessively, he calmly dropped the phone and lay down. Just as he was about to tuck himself into bed, the dummy phone beeped. It was a message from Jay. For the past two hours, Jay had continuously been giving him enough information about what was
