The sound of the phone ringing woke Brian up, and he stretched his hand over the bedside to pick up his phone.“Boss, are you sleeping? "Things have gone out of hand” Brian Secretary panicked.“What do you mean? "What happened, why are you calling this early morning?” Brian, who was still feeling sleepy, couldn't hear the urgency in his secretary’s voice.“We are going bankrupt and the officers are here taking all our files to their station to investigate embezzlement.” She dropped the bombshell.“Wait what?!” He sprang out of bed immediately.“It’s exactly what is happening right now” “Shit, why haven't you called me since?!” He hung up and quickly got out of bed.He didn’t take off his clothes from last night, so he just puts on his shoes and heads out.

Ethan walks into a random restaurant and takes his seat, waiting for the waiter to come take his order.He looked around briefly before finally settling his mind down and waved for the waiter to come take his order.He felt like his life had become empty without anything worrying him at that moment except the fact that his mom said she was coming home.Ethan knew his mom very well and thought there must be a reason why she was coming home and she was not telling him.“Good afternoon sir, this is our menu” The young lady smiled at him and showed him the menu.He glances through briefly and picks out a family set for himself. The waiter frowns and thinks of why he will pick it for his order when it’s only him.“Sir, Are you expecting someone else?” “No I’m not”.

Henry walks into the bank he was once thrown out a few days ago when he tried to secure a loan.The manager rushed up to him and greeted him with respect. “Mr Steele, we are delighted to have you here” He flashed him a smile.Henry felt like scratching the smile off his face at that moment, the same smile he was wearing when he walked in here, giving hope last week.“Delight? "Are you?” he scoffs."Of course we are," he stammered. The manager knew he was here to insult him and boost his success in his face.He was the one that attended to him last week and said the company was hitting rock bottom, so, of course, he would rub it in his face.“Don't worry, you won't be delighted any more soon.” Henry's face was stern, saying those words with a serious tone.“Why sir? Is anything wrong with your account? "Do you have any un-issued debit?” The manager tries to get him to say why he's here.“I'm here to close my account”. Henry drops the bombshell.“What! Why? "We are the best bank, sir, a

As Ethan arrived back home, there was a mixed feeling inside of him while he thought that he had probably handled things the wrong way and there might have probably been better ways to avoid the situation.But as he arrived back home, he had noticed Zara's car in the driveway, yet there was no sign of her anywhere. He took his bath, got changed into a better outfit before walking over to the balcony and was stunned to see Zara seated there with a glass of wine and her gaze fixed outside the swimming pool.“Ethan! "You are back!” A flash of excitement raided her face as she rose to her feet and gave him a quick hug.“I saw your car outside but wasn't sure you were in here”“Yeah, I just thought that I should cool off. So go ahead and tell me how the date went with this strange girl. Were you able to get all the information that you were hoping to get?”She asked, but he groaned and finally sat next to her, pouring himself a glass of wine.“Yes I did, and she is not the kind of person I
Chapter Seventy Eight
Once Henry and Max arrived back home, they realized that Sophia was not yet back home. With the thought that she was having fun with Brian out there, they both fell on the couch with a sigh of exhaustion.“So Dad, what do you think about Brian's proposal?”“It's a good one if it works, but I think that even though the Bennet might be involved in what happened to us, going after them might be a wrong move because we might just end up provoking them further.”“Is that all you are worried about in the whole situation?” Max furrowed his brows as he stared at his dad in disbelief, but Henry seemed more confused while he stared at his son.“Is there supposed to be something else that I would be worried about?”“Brian invested a huge amount of money into our company and, despite it all, it all went down the drain, anyone would be so angry about this, yes he was angry when he came to my office two days ago and was seeking help from me and today, he walks in here with a lot of money and a prop
Chapter Seventy Seven
As Ethan and Sasha took a stroll back home, while Ethan had a wide smile on his face, the more he thought about the humiliation Brian and Sophia had gone through, the more satisfaction he got as he played the whole scene in his over and over again.But Sasha, on the other hand, had a deep frown on her face. There were so many things she kept on thinking about, yet she didn't have the gut to ask him about them.But after walking for a while and realizing that Ethan wasn't ready to give the answers that she sought, she stopped walking and turned to him.“Are we not going to talk about what happened?” she bit her lips, trying to contain the rage that was slowly building inside of her.Ethan also stopped walking, seeing the sore expression on her face. “Oh, I had no idea that you wanted to talk about it.”“Are you for real Ethan? You had no idea that I wanted to talk about the fact that Sophia Steele is your ex-wife and I just found out that you were also dating Zara Bennet. Now I underst

Ethan crossed his legs while he felt so relaxed as he watched the wines and food being served to them. He was very conscious of the price of this wine and couldn't wait to see the amount of wealth that Brian had acquired for him to be able to afford this wine.“So, Miss. Sophia, how do you know Ethan here?” Sasha tends to grow more curious seeing the cold attitude both Brian and Sophia have been displaying.“He was my ex-husband, my broke ex who had nothing, yet I took him in and fed him. At a point, I just couldn't continue and had to let go of him.”She shrugged, staring down at Ethan, yet he remained calm, a blank expression on his face.“Ethan, are you okay sitting here and watching them treat you in such a manner?”“It's fine, I have been here on several occasions, and I am used to it”, he assured her as he whispered to her, and the more he stared at her and the concern in her eyes, Ethan was starting to believe that she was truly not a spy.Sophia and Brian enjoyed themselves so
Chapter Seventy Five
Sasha had immediately recognized Sophia as soon as she stood before their table. She was a model and, not to mention the fact that she had been involved in a few scandals lately, it was only natural for her to be familiar with her.But what Sasha could not comprehend was how Ethan would be familiar with someone like Sophia Steele, and she could see the uneasy feeling on his face.“How can someone like you be able to get in here?” Sophia asked, her eyes brimming with intimidation. Brian had just landed more wealth and, for her, she felt like she was on top of the world.“Sophia, please, I don't want any trouble. How about you go ahead?”“Trouble, of course, I am not here to cause trouble. I was only hoping to have a good meal, yet I had to meet you here and, since we haven't met in a while, wouldn't it be nice for all of us to stay at one table?”She suggested, her gaze turned to Brian, who seemed to have liked the idea. Ethan was about to refuse when Sasha touched his hand.“Ethan, yo
Chapter Seventy Four
Sasha stood outside the restaurant for hours waiting for Ethan, but there was no sign of him anywhere. Her entire bones were becoming cold as she fiddled with her fingers.She felt this lump in her heart, knowing that she had just been stood up by this man and even when she thought about calling him again, just to be certain that everything was fine, but after thinking about it, she kicked against the idea.After a long while, Sasha was exhausted from waiting. The thought of it almost brought tears to her eyes, but as she turned around and was about to leave, she heard someone calling out to her.“Sasha!” The voice sounded so much like Ethan but even as she came to a halt, she was forced to believe that it was her ear playing tricks on her until he called out to her again.“Sasha!” That was when she finally turned around and saw a man dressed in a worn-out outfit running towards her. This brought tears to her eyes. She could not hold it anymore and cried uncontrollably.“I am so sorry

It was dark, Ethan was all dressed in a warm shirt and ragged trousers and was about to step out when Zara walked into his room. At first, she was stunned to see her brother dressed in such a manner, but as she moved closer to him, she started to understand what was going on here.“So you truly are going on a date with that girl”“Yes, I just need to find out if she is truly a spy sent to me”“And how are you going to find out when you will be so lost in love and nothing else will matter to you?” She asked, but he ignored her question, staring at his reflection in the mirror from head to toe.“Wait, does it mean that she doesn't know about your identity?” Zara narrowed her gaze. For a moment there, she seemed even more confused.Ethan was reluctant to speak to her, but after a deep breath, he finally turned around as he held her shoulder.“There is something that has been going on which I didn't want to tell you about since I was afraid that you would become extremely worried.”“What

Even though Max didn't say anything, he was more furious than his Dad, yet he remained silent. He was more interested in the food than what he would hear.The dining room had an intense silence in the air as they all ate in silence. From time to time, Henry could not stop himself as he kept peaking glance at Brian and then his daughter. After a while, he could not hold it any longer and decided to crack his throat.“Sophia, you were so happy when I came back today, and now it seems like Brian was the reason for all the excitement. Care to share what is going on?”“Brian has decided to push our wedding forward”, she blurted out. At the same time, Henry was about to have a glass of water and, as a result of the shock, he didn't realize when he spat it out.“Is this some sort of joke?” He sneered, his eyes turning red as he was starting to lose patience and could no longer hold back the anger.Sophia was about to speak again, but Brian immediately took the lead. “No Sir, this isn't a jok
