"This is a mess that you are going to clean up. I don't care what it is that you have been doing. For allowing that money into my office you are going to bear the consequences!" Rider yelled at Fiona who was busy packing the papers used for the signage.

Fiona rolled her eyes, thinking about Ethan who had managed to come here and disrupt her boss's balance.

He had never seen Mr Rider in such a disgruntled state. He was someone who had always made sure that everyone was afraid of him until it was time for Ethan to come on board.

"So I think you need to go over the agreement again so that you are sure of what you are signing."

"I am going to kick you back to Oblivion if you don't shut the hell up. How dare you tell me how to live my life and sign my papers?" He blew hot at her.

Fiona bowed her head in apology before gathering all the papers and vanishing out of his office.

Rider tapped his feet on the ground, trying to figure out how this conversation had been leaked to the press, w

    Listening to the music was Ethan's favorite pastime especially when he had succeeded in causing havoc in a place where they didn't think was possible. It made everything so easy for him to handle. Meanwhile, Miranda, who was just coming from the bar, was pissed that after airing her feelings, he had no regard whatsoever for it. She walked in, staggering a bit as she looked around in search of a comfortable place to plop on. Luckily she spotted him from afar and walked right at him, hoping to give him a piece of her mind. "I see that you've been a bit wasted, Miranda. You don't need all of these and you know it. Why would you stoop so low to prove anything? I didn't think that you, of all people, would be found doing something so debasing." Miranda's eyes flashed with heat, ready to launch a verbal attack at him. She didn't want to deal with a person who was too pompous for his own good and was about to ruin the experience for her. She had thought that she had finally gotten a saf

    Ethan stepped into the elevator the next day and rode it upstairs. He had enough to think about, but most of them included having conversations that were going to shape him to do the right thing instead of wasting it. "Have you considered doing something that is not going to waste your time?" He asked Miranda who was in the right frame of mind the next morning. She had forgotten that she had a midlife crisis the previous night and he was not in a business to remind her. "Yeah, I am planning to hold a meeting with him, and let's see how that goes. I know that he is going to be enthralled by my presence. Sources have made me understand that he probably has so many things against me and is trying to use this as a means of coming closer. It's up to me to fall into his trap or move on with my life."Ethan, although a bit impressed, refused to show any emotions because he realized how important this was to even him. He wasn't going to give her the impression that he cared so much about w

Cassandra came in still recovering from nausea after discovering she was pregnant. "You have become very problematic lately.

She challenged him, setting her phone on video recording.She had a lot of things to think about but she wanted to maintain her dignity. "We are supposed to be a team and not fight against each other.

    Ethan and Miranda got into the vehicle and drove off to meet with the attorney; throughout the journey, neither one of them spoke as they were both much too preoccupied with their own thoughts to put any of it into words or even engage in a conversation at all.The truth is that neither of them was a hundred percent certain that this was the most efficient way to go about it but it was the best way that Ethan could think about at the moment and given how sensitive and dire the issue was, he figured it would be best if they thought about the implications of what they were doing much later.Declan was the only one they knew to ask now; if he refused, then they would have to take drastic measures. He exhaled inwardly; it had just dawned on him how low Williams would go to completely ruin his business, so he would go as far as even sacrificing another person's life, and not just another person but his wife. As for Miranda, the wife in question, she was understandably still in great shoc

    William, who was momentarily shocked and disoriented when he saw the footage, took a second time to rearrange and recompose himself as he thought deeply and as quickly as he could figure out what would happen next, why Ethan had chosen to do something so drastic, and what he could do to counter it as well. He did not have so much time to think however, not just because of how fast the problem was spreading but because of how it became worse gradually as it continued to spread he had to figure out something, anything at all to say to the press that would at least throw them off his scent for a little while longer until he could find a much better solution to the lingering problem. Without standing on ceremony, he rushed out and released a statement to the press as well, not saying anything particularly substantial and merely maintaining that he had nothing involved with the mafia and that all evidence was fabricated fakes and counterfeits and nothing more than that. He also claimed

    "I can't believe they did this and really thought that they could get away, " William said to his wife as they sat by the table, his anger could be clearly seen on his face even as he spoke, "there's absolutely no way I'm going to let it slide. ""I thought they would be smart enough to accept the money, I didn't expect him to go about things the way he did, " Cassandra said softly after a moment in thought, "it makes me wonder what exactly they have planned and what they have up their sleeves that makes them so confident as to think that they have a chance if any if this goes to court... ""Oh I can say for certain that the bastard Ethan has something up his sleeve that's a given, he always does, I just have to figure out exactly what it is that the two of them are up to, " William replied thoughtfully, "we cannot have them springing up anything new during the hearing. ""That reminds me, about the hearing do you think they may be playing tricks on us, somehow I don't think the court

    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.

    "Shit, " William cursed under his breath, and kept pacing as he cursed inwardly over and over, he had not anticipated it, he had not anticipated it at all. Outside his house different people were gathered shouting and protesting, they were not so much that he could not take drastic measures but they were too much for him to control and it was not the time to do things that were so drastic, he could not afford to take the issue lightly and had to think twice before doing anything potentially incriminating. His mind was moving many miles per hour as he pondered deeply, first on how Ethan had somehow managed to get such a bulk of indisputable evidence, and then how he was able to do that through the whole media galore and court case debacle, it looked like he was doing nothing but taking hits from every side, first from the court with Marinda and now from the media with Ethan. His mind was far too unstable for him to even begin to think about the best possible means of escaping com

  • 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

    "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
