VOWS OF VENGEANCE Charade
Miranda looked all around for her husband and almost went mad by calling his phone numerous but to her chagrin, he didn't pick up. She had stylishly asked me if they had seen him but everyone kept talking in the negative. She didn't want to believe that he had absconded just the first day of having access to her wealth. This would mean that Cassandra had won and that will be the end of everything that she had been trying to prove to that couple. Ethan, on the other hand, had decided to cross over to the next Street and have his lunch. He didn't want to return to the office where he was not as respected as he would have loved to be. He could read through the lines because he was not stupid and the only way he could exert dominance was to show that he was somebody with or without Miranda. What better way to prove that besides going out on his own and not even touching a dime out of Miranda's card that she had handed with her to him? As soon as he stepped back into the office he saw
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Troubled Camp
Williams was having a hard time getting over the fact that Ethan had not danced to his tune and decided to conduct a private investigation about him. He understood the rule of business as always allowing the best man to win. If he could prove that this man was nothing but an imposter, then he would have the upper hand, and anything he asked him to do would be done deal. Cassandra fumed on her stool as she went on with her makeup. "I don't think you understand the gravity of everything that is happening. I would go out of business if it is proven that they are together. Ethan is a sick businessman and is only going to push Miranda's business forward. I know that they are only in a fake marriage just to spite me. I need to uncover their mess." She said. Williams was tired of her incessant complaints and they were just only two days into the marriage. "You give me a headache with your constant complaints. I understand that you hate them so much but this is not a reason for you to conti
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Tempting Offers. (I)
Ethan was on his way to getting answers that no one was willing to give to him because they were all stingy with it. It was his duty to find a way of always making sure that things went accordingly, especially in the office. The sound of the office telephone had him gritting his teeth angrily, as this was the last thing he wanted for himself, especially on a day like this. He just wanted to go through all of the accounts and see how it was able to rectify them while Miranda granted those interviews that she had discussed with him. He didn't really care for whatever was going to happen, especially on her end, because he was hoping that he could get everything right on track, but right now, things were not looking as favorable as they should. Not knowing exactly what he should say or do, he maintained his cool."Ethan speaking." He barked into the phone in irritation. He didn't want to have to discuss anything other than business with whoever decided to reach out to him. He wanted to
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Tempting Offers (ii)
Ethan had heard so many things in the cause of him being in that company, but nothing prepared him for the shenanigans, which he listened to in just a minute. "You mean Cassandra has been going about tarnishing the image that I stole from her when I was working in her company?" He asked with an annoyed countenance.Cassandra had not said anything, but this was Miranda's way of checking how he was going to react to certain news, especially the ones that tarnished his image. She shrugged carelessly, "I understand that you might be angry that all of this is coming to light especially when you got involved with me." She said, still watching for any movement that would confirm that he was indeed guilty. Ethan, with a clear conscience, smiled, shaking his head in disappointment before looking at her, "What did you think? Do you think it's true? Is that why you are suddenly protective of your company? You can always return to have sole authority, no one needs to know." Miranda was perplexe
VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Step Ahead
Ethan frilled a glance at his assistant as she made the statement, while she placed a stack of files in front of him and flipped one of them open. "What is this," he questioned, running his eyes over the written words on the paper. "Where did you get this from?""I am sorry sir, the assistant said slowly, partly trying to lessen the tension which was beginning to creep into the atmosphere. "These are printouts of the emails I received recently." Ethan drew in a deep breath and leaned on the table, flipping the pages. "I still cannot make sense of this. Where did the sender of this email get a copy of the company's deed?And who is the sender?""I have no idea, boss," the slim, bespectacled lady answered, lowering our voice and averting her gaze to the floor. "I have never received an email from the address before. I did research immediately but I was unable to get the source. They intend to remain anonymous. The person claims to have more shares than you do in stocks and capital.""
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Rehashing The Past
Miranda was many things but she wasn't a woman who forgot what she had promised to do. She didn't see a reason to do it. She was going to go through with it so that her word wasn't void. Ethan was also getting to find out that she was a person of integrity like himself and he made things easier for him. They were supposed to meet up with Williams with her in tow with whatever decision he had made. It was almost like asking her to cut her fingers and toes just to get good answers. He wasn't sure he was going to get the answers that he had longed for but there was no harm in trying either way. "Is there anything you also want to be sorted out before he arrives?" He asked, helping that they could hash out any hiccups that promised to pose themselves.Williams wasn't a soft man so they needed to outwit him at every turn. It might sound stupid but that was the only way to deal with a person who had decided to go ahead to make various inflections about his character online. He had no cho
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Negotiation
Williams’ gazed right into the eyes of whoever wanted to cross him, about to crush them off. In this case, it was Miranda who was toying with him. “You made propaganda against my company and made people begin to see me in a different light. Now you want to talk about the past?” He demanded from her. Miranda seized this opportunity. “Oh yeah, what's good would it be if I can have you here but not talk about your very offense? How do you think that makes me look? Stupid ain't it? I ask a simple question: why did you plan for my demise?” she demanded from him. He wasn't going to go scot-free with everything that had happened. She had a lot to cover up for and they had to happen right away. If she didn't do it, then she was just as pathetic as every other fool she had met. “Do you think this is going to change anything? You have no evidence against me but somehow hope that I'm going to incriminate myself because I decided to grace this meeting? You must be a joker and I am here fo
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The New Phase (I)
So many things were wrong at the same time, but one of the things that remained prominent was the fact that Ethan had refused to grant any interviews, and that caused a lot of speculations to fly around, which he refused to pay attention to. He had better things to do with his time than to go ahead with conversations that added no value to him. Even Miranda had tried to stress the importance of him having interviews with people that she considered to matter a lot to society, but that had not worked for her. Ethan rather buried himself in more work looking for ways to find expression of dealing with these people who called themselves the powers of the industry. Just at his ascent as the CEO of Miranda's company, he had managed to step on many toes which he was unapologetic for. They had to call themselves to order and not him. If they didn't find it reasonable enough for him to be angry at them, then they had another thing coming. Miranda walked into the office with a small smile,

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
