Chapter ninety five."Tell her to fucking not get involved in this case. Either she's for me, or she's not. Period," he barked over the phone before abruptly hanging up. His father, attempting to intervene, advised him to calm down, but Caleb's rage wouldn't be contained. "I won't calm down. You don't know what's at stake," he snapped. "Maria wants to make a mockery of me, and I'll never let that happen."His father took a deep breath, his expression calculated. "We only have one option," he said, his voice measured. Caleb raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "What's the option?" he asked, his curiosity piqued."Ethan," his father said, and Caleb's eyes widened in surprise. "Ethan?" he repeated, incredulous. His father nodded. "Yes, Ethan is the only option." Caleb let out a harsh laugh. "We both know he won't help. He'll only have pride, he'll be happy to see me suffering in misery," he said, his voice laced with bitterness.His father hissed, a glint in his eye. "Wha

Chapter ninety four.Caleb walked into the sitting room, his arm wrapped around a laughing lady, but his steps faltered as he took in the tense atmosphere. His eyes landed on his brother, then his father, who was pacing back and forth, his face etched with concern. Caleb's gaze lingered on his father's disgusted expression as he stared at him and the lady. With a whispered promise to meet her upstairs, the lady nodded awkwardly and excused herself. Caleb cleared his throat, his eyes locked on his family's stern faces, and asked, "What's happening?"His father's hiss was followed by a curt gesture towards the file on the table. Caleb's eyes darted to it, and he picked it up, his voice laced with confusion as he asked, "What is this?" His father's response was gruff, "See for yourself." Caleb's hands trembled slightly as he unwrapped the envelope, his eyes scanning the contents. His face paled, and a low curse escaped his lips. "Holy shit! How dare the lawyer ditch us for Maria?"

Chapter ninety three."I don't get it," Victoria said, frustration etched on her face.Ethan chuckled, standing up. "You will understand one day," he said with a knowing smile.Victoria rose to her feet, her eyes locked on his. "What games are you playing?" she asked, her voice laced with suspicion.Ethan's laughter was low and husky. "Games? Me? Play games? I'm not playing games with anyone," he said, his eyes glinting with amusement.Victoria's gaze narrowed. "So, there's no wedding?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Ethan's smile grew wider. "Why wouldn't there be a wedding? There would be a wedding, my dear," he said, his fingers brushing against her face as he removed a strand of hair.Victoria's heart skipped a beat at his touch. "What's your best move?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.Ethan's hands crossed behind his back, and he leaned in slightly. "You shouldn't let people know your next move. All you should do is enjoy the game," he said, his breath w

Chapter ninety two.Maria raised her eyebrows; “What do you mean?”Ethan leaned forward and said; “Because you will be in prison!” Her eyes widened. Maria's face turned pale, and she swallowed hard. "Pri…son," she stammered, her eyes wide with fear. But Ethan's response was unexpected - he burst into laughter. "I wish you could see your face," he chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Come on, chill. Why would you go to prison? Did you offend me?" he asked, his voice low and teasing.Maria shook her head, a sigh of relief escaping her lips. Ethan's gaze lingered on her, a sly smile spreading across his face. He couldn't wait to crush her, but for now, he wanted to savor the thrill of torturing her. "I'll send some cash to you, and the lawyer will contact you, okay?" he said, his tone dripping with condescension.Maria nodded, giggling, and leaned in to kiss his cheeks. "You're the best, darling," she cooed. But Ethan's reaction was immediate - he wiped his cheeks clean, hi
chapter ninety one
Chapter ninety one.Just as Maria wrapped her hands around Ethan's waist and leaned in to kiss him, Victoria cleared her throat from behind, her timing deliberate. The sound was enough to make Maria's eyes snap towards Victoria, a hiss escaping her lips as she chewed her gum loudly. Maria pulled Ethan closer, but he promptly pushed her aside, a sly smile spread across Victoria's face as she watched the exchange, her eyes gleaming with a knowing light. Meanwhile, Maria's expression darkened, her eyes flashing with annoyance and irritation at being rebuffed in such a manner."Babe," Maria mumbled, her voice laced with disappointment. Ethan's response was curt: "I'm busy. I have enough on my plate." His tone was nonchalant, but Maria's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "It's fine," she said, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I would have called you, but your number wasn't connecting," Maria continued, her words aimed at Ethan. “Caleb already brought th

Chapter ninety.Ethan's response made her eyes widened in shock, and she gasped as Ethan said, "My father." "Wait, what do you mean by he's your father?" Victoria asked, her voice laced with confusion. “You called him your uncle, the other day.” Ethan nodded, a sad smile crossing his face. "I call him my uncle," he explained, his tone bitter. "There's no way that man can ever be my father. He doesn't deserve the title. That man is a monster," he spat, anger flashing in his eyes.Victoria's grip on his hands tightened, a mix of shock and empathy washing over her. She couldn't believe that Don, the man they both knew, was Ethan's father. The hatred emanating from Ethan was palpable, and she could sense the depth of pain he'd endured since Don didn't hesitate to pull the trigger at Ethan. She wondered what more has he done to Ethan. Without thinking, she pulled him into a hug, her eyes welling up with tears.Ethan chuckled in surprise, his voice muffled against her shoulder. "What
