Ethan mingled with the high profile people in the society refusing to look at the man who was serenading his woman. He had hidden intentions and wasn't going to reveal it just yet even though it was important.

"Isn't that Miranda talking to Williams?" A business partner asked, cutting everyone's attention away just to fulfill her intentions sent by Cassandra who miraculously disappeared until it was time for her to show up again.

Ethan refused to glance their way and focused on the lady, "I don't see how my wife mingling with other potential clients is any of your business." He responded, smiling softly and taking a drink.

He glanced at Miranda and her ex moving toward each other like they were long-lost buddies.

Williams had a hard time keeping his hands away from Miranda because he never expected her to show up this hot. She was hotter than Cassandra which made him wonder why he had been a fool all along.

"I must confess that you are the most beautiful lady at this party tonigh

    Cassandra hissed angrily; how dare he try to make a mockery of her simply because of her recent condition? It was also going to be permanent. She was only trying to bring him closer to see if she could worm her way back into his life and get the information that she had always desired, especially about Miranda's company. Williams walked in with a stagger getting her vexed to the bone. "Are you serious right now? How dare you go out and disgrace me in such a manner? You went around frolicking around your ex-fiancee, making a mess of every vow we made before that altar." She flung the accusation at him. Williams pretended not to see her and that even angered her the more. How they he pretend that he wasn't just staying with her rival? "Is that what you've told yourself to be able to sleep at night?" He challenged her back, his eyes swirling with anger as he approached her. Cassandra took a few steps backward, scared that he might pummel her to the ground. ” you don't have to always t

    The meeting with Cassandra looked like an Innocent one to a bystander but to people who understood what was happening here, they wouldn't take it that way but instead look for a better way of handling the situation. "Now that we already have too many people trying their best to knock you off the charts, don't you think it is about time you stood your ground?" He advised Cassandra who looked like the whole world was against her. It wasn't anyone's fault but she decided to go ahead with plans that were unfruitful in the first place. Everyone knew how hard it was to get a lot of things running but she thought it was going to be as easy as anything and now was crying Wolf. "I don't think you understand the gravity of the lies spread about me on social media. I have every right to start suing people right left and center but that's not even going to work. I feel like the people behind this are just trying to get rid of me. I don't know what to do at this point, I can tell you for a fact

    Even if Ethan hated Cassandra to the core he would never stand for her to be humiliated or violated by her husband. He quickly rushed towards Williams and decked him in the face. "You have no freaking rights to put your hands on her! She is not your slave, but your wife." He yelled Cassandra was highly relieved but couldn't say anything for the fear of being judged by her violent husband that she had secret feelings for her ex-fiance. "He was only trying to adjust my shirt."Ethan shut his eyes briefly. "For the love of God Cassandra. Are you going to act so stupid? I know that you might be gullible sometimes but this is even way beneath you! I have so many things that I am thinking about but this is not one of them! How do you allow him violate you yet you try to defend him? Are you freaking serious right now?!" He kept on yelling He didn't care whoever listened in on the conversation because this was quite improper. Something that he would never do no matter how much she pushed

  • VOWS OF VENGEANCE    Setting The Records Straight

    Ethan paced his balcony in annoyance because that was exactly how he felt when he saw a woman being violated right in his very presence, and she didn't see anything wrong with it; instead, she cheered the stupid man on. So many things were wrong with that on a fundamental level, but he couldn't wrap his head around it. If he had the chance, then he would have dealt with the situation as he should, but right now, that would only complicate issues because she wasn't even ready to be free from the bondage she had placed herself in. How was he supposed to help her out? Miranda walked in, surprised to see him pacing about because there was no issue on the ground before he left. "Are you sure everything is fine?" She inquired from her, "I don't get why you have been on easy since you stepped in. Should I be worried about anything?" She asked. He didn't know how to respond to that question without sounding rude. She wasn't the cause of his problems so he had to be careful with his answ

    Williams walked into the foyer seething. He had yet to meet the person who had been sabotaging every business he had decided to lay his hands on, especially in recent times. Cassandra walked behind him, also having the motive for getting to know this unknown person who had been disturbing their plans. This was one of the reasons he didn't want Ethan to come near her. "I believe you understand everything that has been going on in the past few days. I think someone besides Ethan is out to get us and we must find them out and deal with them accordingly." He said. Cassandra looked at him with contempt shining in her eyes but couldn't say anything because she was bound to him at this point. "I think you should take things easy while we find the culprit. We don't want to run into the feds one of these days do we?" Ethan watched them enter the foyer without knowing that he was the mastermind behind their failed project. As soon as he was contacted by his Intel, he didn't waste any more t

    Ethan's shoes clicked across the linoleum floor as he walked past with a small smile on his face, also shaking with a bit of regret. He had a lot of things on his mind, such as conquering the people who had called him nothing. Williams's attempts at his business didn't go unnoticed but he decided to let go and pretend like he had no clue of what was going on. "Welcome, sir; I was asked to bring you here." Fiona ushered him into Mr Rider's office. She refused to stare at him lest their interaction acted as a dead giveaway. Her boss, Mr Rider, was a man of high intellect, switching through planes just to catch culprits at their games. "Good morning Mr Ethan. I have always wanted to meet you especially since you had a way of filling the blogs with various information. I can only imagine how elated you must be." Mr Rider attempted to tease him.Ethan remained emotionless as he watched his target smile before reaching for his cigar. "Please have a seat, Mr. Ethan." Fiona broke the star

    "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

  • 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

    "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
