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

    Once Zara was inside her car, she slammed her fist really hard, her eyes had turned red as tears rolled down her cheek.“How the hell did this happen? How couldn't I have known that he was an enemy and left as soon as possible? I can't believe that I gave my body to a stranger.”With each moment she thought about waking up next to Max, she cried uncontrollably. The pain was too much for her and, as a result of that, she concluded that she was going to inform Ethan about what had happened, and hopefully he was take revenge for her sake.Back at the Bennett mansion, Sasha sat next to Ethan, who had barely said a word to her. She knew how badly he was feeling and didn't want to force him to say anything.“Sasha!” He suddenly called and she was almost stunned.“I will make some arrangements for you. I think it's time you leave the country and start up your life there.”He blurted so coldly that she couldn't feel any emotions in his words as he spoke.“What does that even mean?”“It means

    Zara felt her head spinning really fast as she slowly opened her eyes to her new environment. She clutched her head tight, hoping the pain would ease off.“Who is out there, who is there!” She called out with the thought that she was at home, and she called to ask the staff to fetch her some drugs, but no matter how much she called out to them, no one was responding to her.“Gosh, where did they go!” She finally sat upright and, as she did, Zara could finally tell that she was in a strange environment, but that was not all. There was a strange man next to her.“Ahhh!” She felt her heart jump out of her chest. She could not tell what to make out of this, but was definitely scared. Max, who was fast asleep, heard the loud scream and jerked off the bed. He did not care about the fact that he was naked, rather his eyes were scanning around trying to find out why she was screaming so loudly.“Where! Who!” He tried to comprehend the situation, but no matter how he tried, there was no intru

    Max hurried outside, seeing that it was the boss he had just met with earlier, and he knew that since he was calling, then it had to be important.“Hello Boss!”“Zara is at a club right now. I will send you the address. This is your chance to strike.”“Yes sir!” Max felt a surge of excitement and as soon as the call came to an end, the address flashed through his phone.He bid his father goodbye and hurried to his car. Once Max arrived at the club, his eyes kept scanning around through the crowd and buzzing with music until his gaze finally landed on Zara, who was ordering a drink from the bar tender.Max walks casually over the counter, pretending not to have noticed someone like her as he made his order.“I will have a martini” he requested, hoping that Zara's attention would drift to his side, but she was keen on taking shot after shots like it was just a glass of water.“More!” She commanded again. Her eyes were starting to become heavy, the bar tender knowing who she was, knew th

    Max drove back to the hospital and even as he did, he could not stop humming a sound. He felt like all of his problems were finally coming to an end.But as he hurried towards his father's ward, there was a nurse there. Soon as her gaze landed on him, there was a deep frown on her face.“Where the hell have you been? "You do understand that your father went through two major surgeries and if you are not going to be there for him, then you might as well provide a caregiver!”She yelled at the top of her voice, making Max irritated at the way she was looking down at him.“If he needs a caregiver, isn't that the job of the hospital to provide that? "How dare you speak to me like that!” He fired back at her, but she was also not ready to be looked down.“Speak like your family might be able to afford one if the hospital decides to provide one”, Max scoffed. He felt like he had reached the brim of what he could endure and was not ready for anyone to look down on him in such a manner again.

    Max felt like his heart was sliced into tiny pieces, overwhelmed by so many emotions that he could not fathom. But as he froze right there, it felt to him like he had misheard. “What did you say?”“You heard me Max or do I have to scream it out to the whole hospital, I murdered Mrs. Bennett”“Mrs. Bennett, who is she?” Max was confused. He knew that Zara was the only female Bennett in the family and, since she wasn't married, he was not sure why his sister would address her that way.“Are you dumb brother? "I killed Zara's mother!” She finally explained, several emotions were flooding inside of him, mixed with confusion.“Zara's mom is alive?”“Yes, I had no idea about that until I was at their mansion. "I am so sorry, Max, everything happened so quickly and before I knew what was going on, she was already dead.She kept on mumbling through her words with the fear that was consuming her.“You need to calm down.
