The courtroom fell into a tense silence while the judge examined the final documents before her.

Ethan sat stiffly in his chair, his chest still rising and falling from the earlier outburst, his eyes fixed on the floor. The security guards stood nearby, ready to intervene if he caused any more trouble.

"After thoroughly reviewing all the evidence," the judge said, her tone steady and commanding, "this court rules in favor of the petitioner, Lois Carter."

Ethan glanced up sharply. He knew it w

  • The Drunken ex-boyfriend part 2

    Paul, seeing that Casper was about to cause a scene in the restaurant, pulled out his phone and sent a quick text to his men waiting outside. "Come inside. Now." Casper swayed on his feet, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Margaret. Her question made him only mad with rage. "What happened to me?" he repeated, his voice rising. "Did you just ask that?" Margaret gulped. The last time she saw Casper was later that afternoon. His contract was terminated and he was seen leaving the boardroom like an enraged bull. He was the last person she expected to see in this restaurant tonight. He was obviously drunk and consumed with rage at the sight of her. "Casper," she began quietly. "Let's not do this here. If you can tell me what happened I—" Before she could complete her sentence, he lunged forward and grabbed her arm, his fingers digging into her skin. "Your boyfriend happened," he snarled. "If Ethan hadn't shown up, I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. He took everythi

  • The Drunken ex-boyfriend

    Ethan and Brown left the building after their meeting with Paul Landern ended, stepping into a quiet street where an SUV was parked waiting for them.Ethan glanced at Brown as they walked toward the waiting SUV."So your name is Tommy, huh?" he asked, eyeing him closely. Brown smiled faintly. "Not anymore. As you can see, Master Wayne, I'm Mr. Brown now."Ethan nodded slowly. "Any more secrets I should know about?"Brown considered the question for a moment. "None so far, sir. But I'll be sure to inform you if anything else comes up."Ethan stopped walking. He turned to face Brown, his expression serious."No more secrets. I've known you for a short time, but I've learned to trust you. Don't make me regret that decision."Brown met his gaze steadily. "I won't, Master Wayne. You have my word. From now on, there will be no more secrets."Ethan studied him for a moment. Then he nodded and continued walking.They climbed into the SUV, and the driver started the engine.Just as they pulle

  • Kneel

    Paul looked at Ethan like he was crazy. "You want me to kneel to you?" "Yes, I do," Ethan said sharply, his eyes not leaving Paul's face. "Do you have a problem with that?" Brown stepped forward, his voice urgent. "Master Wayne, Paul is a respected don with thousands of men under his payroll. He's a man with deep connections and influence. Asking him to kneel to you is—" "Nobody is forcing him," Ethan interrupted. "If he refuses to submit himself to me, then I'll refuse to fund him." Brown couldn't believe his ears. "But Master Wayne, that's—" "No buts," Ethan told Brown, keeping his expression stoic. "It's your loyalty and act of service that made me trust you, Brown. If Paul refuses to serve me, then I can't trust him." Brown opened his mouth to respond, but Paul held up a hand. "It's okay, Tommy," Paul said quietly. "I've got this." He stood up from his chair and walked around the desk toward Ethan. He didn't take his eyes off Ethan's face for a single second. Paul finall

  • Mafia Don

    Brown took a couple of minutes to ease the tension between Ethan and Paul. Once everyone was seated in their respective chairs, he took a deep breath and faced Ethan. "Master Wayne, before I explain, I want you to understand something. I'm not proud of everything I've done, but I'm not ashamed of it either. It made me who I am today." Ethan nodded slowly. "Go on." Brown began to pace the office, his hands clasped behind his back. "Years ago, before I met you, I worked for Mr. Lantern. But I didn't work for him as a manager or an accountant. I was his enforcer. He trusted to handle everything that couldn't be handled in the light of day." Ethan listened in silence. Brown continued. "Mr. Lantern built his empire through legitimate companies like real estate, shipping, and logistics. But underneath all of that, there was an underground network of operations that stretched across the city and beyond." "I managed those operations, Master Wayne. I also disciplined disloyal members an

  • Tommy

    Minutes after Ethan's outburst, the door swung open and a young woman stepped inside the office. "Mr. Lantern," she said, her voice apologetic . "Tommy is here to see you. He says it's urgent."Paul frowned. "Tell him to wait. I'm busy."The secretary hesitated. She glanced nervously between Paul and Ethan."He said he must see you, sir. He said you have someone very important to him in your office."Both Ethan and Paul looked sharply at the secretary."Wait," Paul said frowning. "This man is important to Tommy?"Ethan leaned forward, his face full of confusion. "Who on earth is Tommy?"Before the secretary could answer, the door swung open wider, and a figure stepped into the room.Ethan's eyes widened.It was Brown.Paul face went from confusion to surprise. "Tommy? What are you doing here?"Brown didn't answer immediately. He walked into the office, his eyes fixed on Ethan."Master Wayne," he said calmly. "Are you alright?"Ethan stared at him. His mind was racing, trying to proc

  • Meeting Paul

    Ethan settled into the back seat of the taxi as it pulled away from NorthCastle United. He was halfway to Paradise Hotel when he saw a black sedan three cars behind, matching every turn the taxi took. When the taxi changed lanes, the sedan changed lanes. When the taxi slowed down, the sedan slowed down.Ethan's eyes narrowed. He didn't need a prophet to tell him he was being followed.Those were definitely Paul's men.He leaned forward and tapped the driver on the shoulder."Pull over at the next corner. I'll get out here."The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror but didn't argue. He pulled over to the curb, and Ethan stepped out, handing him a few bills."Thanks," Ethan said.He stood on the sidewalk, watching as the taxi pulled away. The black sedan slowed down, its passengers clearly unsure of what to do.Ethan didn't wait. He turned and began walking toward the sedan.The car slowed even further, almost coming to a stop. Through the windshield, Ethan saw two men in dark
