A flush of relief gushed through her spine as she rushed outside, trying to be certain that he was the one that was back.“Ethan!” She called out as her eyes lit up in excitement and, without hesitation, she hurried up to him and wrapped her hands around him, but as soon as she had sniffed the foul smell around him, she slowly pulled away.“Why do you reek of alcohol? Did she get you to drink?”“Yeah, in fact, she was trying to get me drunk” he announced, and as he started walking back inside, Zara froze at a spot, unable to wrap her head around the price of information he had just told her.But soon as she jerked back to reality, she hurried towards Ethan, yet he looked calm, like he had everything under control.“I told you th

No matter how much he struggled, he could not sit upright. Even with his gaze fixed on the sky, he was certain that this was the hospital, but each time he tried to recall what had happened prior to his accident, he would feel a sharp pain that jerked him back to reality.“Ethan! "Ethan!” He heard a female voice calling out to him. She was staring directly at him, her eyes were red, only portraying to him that she had been crying all this while.

He had been standing there for quite some time now and even though he knew that they were waiting for him outside, he wanted to be perfect.The door finally swung open and as Max stepped in, his gaze widened, amazed by his father's outfit.“Wow, Dad, you really put in an effort”“I know, it's our first deal in a while, right? "I can't make them know that we are going through a tough time, else they might belittle us.“Yeah I know. Sophia had been insisting on seeing you. She couldn't stand being locked up in her room.”“She should have thought about that when she decided to disgrace this family and with this last one she just pulled. I am not sure that her career is ever going to come off the mud ever again.”He responded, tucking his wristwatch around his wrist and then stared at himself again like he was trying to be certain that there was not a single spot.“You are looking all good Dad, we don't want to ke

Sophia immediately began to get dressed. Shuffling through her wardrobe and when she felt that she had seen a suitable dress, she slipped right into it before getting right to her makeup.“Isn't this dress too revealing?” Max asked, his gaze trailing at her from head to toe the moment she stepped out of the room.“I am a model, of course it has to be revealing!” She hinted out a sarcastic comment and, in her heels, she started walking out of there.Sophia arrived at the private lounge where Mr. Norbert was waiting for her.

Ethan was fast asleep when the door to his ward swung open. He immediately opened his eyes, alert to find out who it was and as soon as he realized that it was Liam, he finally relaxed.“How did it go? "Were you able to find out anything?” Ethan asked anxiously, but Liam let out a soft sigh before he shook his head.“Not at all. I couldn't find anything. Whoever that is running this operation must be an expert.”“What are you saying? Weren't you able to get the id of the trunk driver from the police?”“That is the thing, boss. "I went over to the precinct, but there was no trace of the truck anywhere, like your car wasn't hit by anyone in the first place.“That is impossible! "What are the cops saying?”“They are insisting that it was your driver that had run into a pole at the side of the road and there was never any truck seen on the scene.”Ethan widened his eyes in disbelief. He could not believe that something like this was happening to him and no matter how much he thought about

When Sophia first arrived in the hall, everyone had come to the conclusion that she was there to cause trouble, given what had happened the last time she was buzzing on the internet, but to their surprise, she had gone on her knees.“What are you doing?” Zara asked, looking all surprised in embarrassment. “You can't go on your knees for me, please get up!”“I can't get up, I have to apologize to you. Because I had offended you in front of everyone, so it is only proper that I go ahead and apologize before everyone!”“What are you talking about Sophia? "You haven't done anything wrong to me”, Zara plastered a smile on her face. As much as Sophia was trying to become the victim here, she was fighting so hard to be as kind as she could.Zara rose to her feet, a warm smile on her face while she walked over to where Sophia was kneeling down.“Come on, don't do that. Whatever it is that you think is wrong between both of us, I think that we can sort it out between ourselves. It doesn't have

Norbert widened his eyes in confusion, but no matter how much he looked, he could not comprehend what was going on and, as a result of that, he began to frantically search through his phone.“What is it, is everything alright?” Sophia asked, seeing that the excitement on his face just now had faded away and was now replaced with confusion.“The news, I can't find it!”“What news are you talking about?” Sophia still looked perplexed, trying to figure out what was going on.“What just transpired between you and Miss Zara right now has been wiped out, there is no trace of it anywhere or anyone speaking about it, like it never happened!”His jaws tightened as he explained the situation to her, but it was so difficult for Sophia to believe that something like this could happen.She immediately pulled out her cell phone from her purse, scrolling through the news feed, but indeed there was nothing that she could see.Her eyes had turned red, a micro of fury and confusion, and no matter how m

Ethan stood on his balcony, his dark gaze fixed outside the window. He had just received a call about Steele trying to meet with him and, although he was fully aware of the fact that they had no idea of his identity, yet Ethan felt his heart become heavy, recalling all the abuse he went through in their hands.His gaze was fixed outside where he could see the pool, his hands twisted around the glass of wine he held that he sipped from time to time and just then, Zara walked in.“Ethan!” She clasped both her hands together, her gaze buried to the ground as she called out underneath her breath.“How did it go with the new endorsement?” Ethan asked, and even while he did, he did not bother to turn around or take a glimpse of her.“It didn't work out again. They said they were going to get back to me. But that is not why I am here.”“Go ahead, why are you here?” he asked, even though he did not turn around to look at her, Zara could feel the rage in his voice.Despite how close she was to

I am not so certain that he would be ready to show up.

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

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

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

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

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
