VOWS OF VENGEANCE Swift chance
"Call me bias but I think that you have a fair chance at winning this case. I'm going to take it up with Judge Roberts and watch her handle it with proficiency. If you hand it over to other people I promise you that they would make a mess out of the situation." Barrister Karen made it known to her clients. What Williams didn't know was the fact that she never intended to represent him in any way. She just wanted to waste his time, but now that he was proven to be stubborn, it was better that she dealt with him. She also had an ire against him but used this as a means of getting her revenge. He had killed her youngest sister during a raid. "I don't know what this is about, and I honestly do not think I am interested in finding out what exactly it represents, but... I guess we have to do something else." Ethan said, deciding to give her the benefit of the doubt. Everyone knew that he didn't trust anyone especially to handle such a situation like this. He always felt that people woul
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Minor differences
"Taking my word for law was not going to do you any good, instead it was only going to break the non-existent chains that you had managed to build." Williams said into the press mic when he was invited for a meeting. Even the blind could see that he was referring to Ethan who had not come out to release any statement despite the rumors circulating the blogs. He felt like it was a childish thing to do and coming to do that was only going to reduce whatever he had to say in the first place. He watched the news with an open mind, waiting to see where this was going to lead to and how he would be able to anchor the situation without doing too much. It was better that he wasted some time trying to figure out a few things than jumping into suing Williams without too much evidence. Miranda didn't have such patience, because she felt like this procedure was too slow for her liking. It was going to reduce the reason she ever believed in the judiciary system in the first place and now that
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Split
The next stride into the office was dramatic. Everyone looked right and left waiting for an exposure, especially a clash of powers as they had heard. It wasn't news that anyone that didn't dance to Williams tune was always handed the shorter end of the stick but no one saw this play out with Ethan. In fact the silence had even caused more uproar than anything else in the world and this had most of them trembling and hoping that this was all they could get. It was as pathetic as anyone could think of because how the mighty had fallen was a huge talk of the town and except the people who wanted to pretend like they had not heard the news, everyone was busy talking about it. Williams also knew that the world was waiting for his return but he also wanted to shock them by being as mature as he could. If he kept on giving them audiences he was going to lose his relevance sooner or later and that would discredit everything he ever had to say. Cassandra had also decided to cut ties with h
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Rumours And Lies
Ethan was just walking into the house as the sun began to set. The house was a little dim; in that dimness, he could see Miranda stretching on the sofa completely out of it while going through some papers."You are home early today; of course, everything is alright?" spoken Miranda, without ever bothering to get her head out of the paperwork she was going through."Yeah, just because I'm home earlier doesn't mean something is wrong Miranda," Ethan almost growled while walking to her. "In fact, we are going to have a date tonight,""Dare I say we have a date tonight?" she inquired as she slowly raised her head."Yes, so hurry! And don't fall asleep in the room or we won't make it," "A total prick," spat out Miranda, followed by some vague gestures.Ethan turned to Miranda as they cruised off to the event. "I can't wait for our date tonight," before flashing her a smile."And I, too," replied Miranda as she tucked away a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "It's been a while since we
VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Sudden Change of heart
Ethan and Miranda reached home, having felt peace after work because of the event night. The lights inside were dim, and it felt like almost a quiet oasis compared to the noise and gossip outside it. Miranda smiled while she untied the shoelaces on her shoes and set her purse down on the counter."This feels good," she said with a contented sigh.Ethan smiled, pouring them both glasses of champagne. "To us," he conveyed through the glass he handed her. "To getting through another day."Miranda took the glass and attached it to his in a faint clink. "And to the future. It's looking brighter."They sat cozily on the couch, drinking from their glasses as morsels of cookies that Miranda had baked earlier that day pervaded the air. There was soothing music playing in the background, adding to the ambience. Ethan stretched his legs and watched while Miranda danced lightly out into the open. Her beauty swayed him, and she looked blissful dancing so gracefully in the moment. That made it all
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Truth Hurt
Miranda arrived at Williams' home, a large place well cared for. The dark rectangular windows were staring at her. The silence about the atmosphere felt ominous. She had come to a decision. He will have to face her today.Her heels sounded upon her ascent down the pavement and a murmur lifted into her ears. She took in an unsteady breath at the tumbler of anxiety that was buzzing in her chest. Ready for him. What was on his mind? After all of that fuss about the blueprint, she wanted to know. He had to pay for everything he robbed from their company.Knock, knock went her hand, steady but for the storm inside her. One of Williams' employees opened the door after some time. He stood aside for her to pass, without uttering a word. Miranda thanked him and walked in.Inside was quiet. That almost eerie stillness was now making her uncomfortable. Feet padded against the thick carpet as she walked down the long corridor, almost soundless on her way toward the knock on one of the office door
VOWS OF VENGEANCE In the Neck of time
The tension in the room was electric as Miranda stood there, arms crossed, thoroughly cold in the present battle of wills against Williams. With an air charged with rage, every word counted against one another as it set off the powder keg of combustible emotions. Williams's eyes were dark with fury, and Miranda had finished holding it in."Do you really think I'm gonna sit here and listen to you defend him? Ethan? Really?" A sarcastic mockery from Williams.Miranda drew a big breath, solidifying her voice against the storm inside. "Yes, I am going to defend him. This is another good man, Ethan. Principled. You, on the other hand, have none." Williams scoffed, shaking his head as if he could not believe what he had just heard. "Principled? Is that what you're calling him? This failed man in every aspect of his life? You can't be serious, Miranda. Get a life.""Wasting my time? Not even a bit," he came back quick, and her tone sharpened. "He is so much more of a man than you will ever
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Tables turn
Ethan stood beside Miranda, watching the police barricade around Williams as he himself stood outside the palatial gates he had called. The very sound of the sirens pierced the air as the officers approached him with handcuffs. "Illegal possession of a firearm, Mr. Williams," the officer stated stridently and somewhat professionally as he stepped forward and reached for Williams' arms.Williams tugged back and his face radiated fury. "What are you doing? You can't arrest me!" he spluttered, rising in rage. "I have power. Do you know who I am?"Calmly, the officer said, "You are under arrest, Mr. Williams. We have a warrant."Ethan watched the show from the side, his jaws clenched. Ever since he could remember, he had wanted to see Williams humiliated; but he knew this wasn't the end. There would always be ways for Williams to wriggle out of things. Still, this was a victory-for now. "You think you can do this to me?" Williams said, fists clenching again as the officers put cuffs on

False Ideology
At this time, while all of that was busy happening with Miranda, Ethan was in a different place entirely, the only way he knew what was going on with his wife was of course through the public and through his own interaction with her. He was not even a little worried about her as he knew that William could not do anything to her again, not after all that he had said out to the public. It did not matter how much of the media or the press was in his hands, he would still be in danger if he were to go beyond the line and say or do something, anything that could put her in trouble. In Angola, Ethan kept on finding and revealing more and more secrets regarding William, it was there and then that he discovered that not only was William involved with the mafia and closely linked to the Don, but that he was also into drug trafficking and not on a small scale. This made him even more at ease and he began to gather as much evidence as he could as this would make a strong case against Wil
The explanation
I sighed tiredly as I followed Roslyn behind. She had promised to tell me something and I'm so eager to hear what she had to say. We stopped at a small barbecue stand that evening. The bar was buzzing with noise from a not too far distance. "Would you have some?" I asked, staring over at her and she nodded. "I'm paying for two" I told the man and he smiled before wrapping up the barbecue,he handed it to me and I gave the two to Roslyn. I dipped my hand into my back pocket and brought out my wallet and paid for the barbecue. "Do you sell those drinks too?" I asked pointing over at the cokes that were resting on the wall. "Of course I do. It won't be nice if you buy barbecue without drinks, should I wrap it up?" He asked and i nodded and he gave me the drink while I paid the bills. After doing so,I look into my wallet and I saw no penny in it. "Let's go over there" I pointed a bench not too far from the stand and we went there and sat on it. "You said you want to tell me something"
Contract states
Miranda's initial priority had to be securing her company, and everything else had to be taken out of the way. She watched him carefully, hoping that he didn't even figure out she had a hand in Jenna's kidnapping because that was going to close a lot of problems between them, and she would rather just stay on her own. The next few days revolved around planning dangerously and now finding out what exactly the problem is. "Is there something you want to tell me that you feel is going to make me mad?" Ethan heaved a huge sigh, deciding that it was time to take the bull by the horns and not go around being a coward anymore. No one was going to force him into hiding except he allowed them and he was ready to put his foot on the ground and deal with the situation. Miranda observed the terrain and finally decided to take a better step in approaching this issue so that she didn't fall into the trap that he had obviously set. "Define what anger means to you and maybe I would have an in
renumeration
"Why didn't you pick up my call when you saw it? Didn't you think that it could be very important or you felt like I was just going to reach out to you if I did not have anything tangible to do? Is that what you really think of me? Do you think that I don't have a business of my own or something to focus on instead of reaching out to you countless times yet you refuse to pick up? I don't know why I even bother with you. I don't know why I waste my time!" As interesting as her words sounded Ethan's only response was a nod. He knew that it was going to make her even madder than she was already, but that was exactly what he was going for. He wanted her to feel the heat. "I should have jumped simply because you called just to show you how interested I am in your life and everything that you have done so far but that is not my kind of thing and you will let me be. I do not enjoy being pestered in case you do not know. I would not sit here and hear you speak rudely simply because you fee
The peace
Cassandra had never imagined in her entire life that she would be talking to Williams on a neutral ground besides always begging him to do her bidding. Now it was her time to shine and she was going to take it to heart. She wasn't going to allow them to move her away from her rightful place but she was going to keep her mouth shut and listen to whatever he had to say well pretending that she loved everything he was talking about. "You suddenly want me to help you right? Have you suddenly forgotten everything that you have done to me and said to me? You don't just come up from nowhere and expect me to welcome you into my life like you deserve it. I don't deserve the way you speak to me and I am going to treat you that same way in return." The amount of anger that went through his mind was not enough to stop him from thinking of how to deal with her but at the same time still hoping that he was able to handle the situation properly. Williams regretted calling her because now she
The request
Jada's attempt to apprehend Ethan at the casino was a colossal failure. The instant she fired the gunshot at the man who stood up to accuse Ethan of offending him, she attracted the attention of Ethan's burly guards who were stationed outside. She had been hoping to shoot Ethan, and if she had been patient enough to place the right target, she would have been successful. Now, an innocent man was struggling to breathe in an ICU. After this occurrence, the entire underground world and social media burst into an uproar. Everyone began to question what Williams's exact motives were. A thorough investigation was conducted and then it was discovered that he had violated the rule of the made men coven. Ethan had not committed any offense against him, he only made the bounty decree to rile up innocent people and perpetrate rancor in the society. To the regular people, Williams had merely decided to assassinate a fellow businessman because he had been jealous. Miranda did a good job promo
Attention
William stamped his foot on the ground, weighing his options. It was a little bit great to start weight but he could already foresee the end of this bargain. "Make me a better offer and I wouldn't hesitate." He demanded, his fingers crossed as he waited for what he had planned to come to pass and then he would be able to deflect every form of tyranny that came with his association with Ethan. Ethan laughed, a little bit perplexed that this man in front of him still didn't understand that he had a lot of ideas on his mind. "Let me break this down to you in case you have suddenly forgotten your current dilemma. You are one of the worst people in the world right now, and everyone is looking for a better way of serving you justice; if I can help you find a way of pleading not guilty, you would have to do everything that I say. It isn't even negotiable." "Yeah, right. I would have believed this if I didn't have other plans up my sleeves. I think you are only trying to take advantag
Contention
A little more push and Williams would have confessed that he was the one who had pulled that stunt but he already had a goal and had not achieved it yet. He would rather die than to speak up, even if the people were being screened one after the other. "Oh, is there anything wrong with you apart from the fact that you already have things set up? I don't know why you will restrict us from leaving when my mother is already in the hospital? I can't stay here simply because you did not trust that the people you employed would not have a hand in this shenanigans!" As truthful as his words might have sounded, everything was completely fake to Ethan and he began to watch the person carefully. For him to possess such an audacity, he had something to hide and it was not something small. Phil's manager also felt the same way and he turned to look at the person who was challenging him. This wasn't somebody who was begging for a job, instead it was somebody who couldn't wait to get out
