The maid rushed out of Sophia's room in tears. She had slapped her and drained her with the smoothie she made for her.

This is the fourth time she has made the smoothie, and she still thinks it's bad. It's the same method she has been using to make her smoothie all these years.

She's not a new maid, and she knows it's not about the smoothie but her mood. Something is wrong with her and whenever this happens, she will take it out on the maids.

It's always like that, but it just never happened to her before all these years, but today she was the unfortunate one.

She dried her tears and started making another smoothie for her. It took a few minutes and she was done.

She put it in the fridge and quickly went to take her shower, making sure she was looking clean before taking it to her room again.

The maid keeps praying silently that this time she would be calm and just take the smoothie, letting her leave.

This was her fifth time, and she already felt hell unleashed on her. She didn't wan

    The entire air seemed to have grown intense the moment Ethan stepped in there, surrounded by a large number of armed guards. Although his face was masked, making it possible for them to see his face or comprehend his identity, they could tell that this was one hell of a powerful man that they should never anger.The manager clasped his hands together as he lowered his head, his palm had become sweaty, and he was barely keeping his legs from trembling.“How dare you all try to assault my sister!” He roared, his voice deep and carrying such an intimidating aura that all the staff present were now afraid of what their fate was going to be with such a strange man.“We apologize, Sir, but I think you have misunderstood the entire situation. We didn't try to assault her, she just went against company policy.”“Policy?” Ethan scoffed, his voice so cold that it sent a shiver down her spine.“I always thought of this store as a very reputable store and yet you judge your customers by their out

He immediately pulled out his cell phone as he placed a call to an unknown number.“Close down the store!” His voice was ruthless, as it echoed through the other end of the phone, the receiver knew just what to do.Once the call ended, his attention retired to the driver on the front side of the car. “Drive to Karla Jewelry store”“Yes Sir” he muttered, a response that was barely audible before he steered off the engine and drove right there.But arriving at the store, Ethan was about to step out of the car when an idea crept through his mind. He had always regarded the staff of this store as polite and well-mannered, but then Ethan thought to himself that it might probably be as a result of the fact that he always went there with his convoy and, not to mention, he kept his identity hidden.With that thought that had clouded his mind, he quickly tucked off his jacket and slid into a casual outfit that was us

    Sophia froze right there for a moment. Even if something like that was going to happen, it couldn't happen in front of Ethan.She maintained a calm posture and walked up closer to the attendant. That way, it was barely possible for others to hear what she was saying.“Listen to me, I am the daughter of the famous Steele family. There is certainly some sort of mistake here. You should go ahead and give it a try again, and I can assure you that it's going to go through this time around.”She explained, the attendant was reluctant to do so, but seeing the eyes of the people at the store who had noticed her while she was throwing insults at Ethan, they had all grown curious now, wondering how it was going to end.And as a result, the attendant went ahead to give it a try again, but this time, she let out an exasperated sigh.“I apologize Ma, but it's not working. If you have any other card, then I think that will be the time to bring it.”“I don't have another!” She spoke big as a result

They all suddenly respect him, their heads almost touching the ground as they bowed before him, offering to help him carry the items out of the store, but Ethan blatantly refuses.Soon as he stepped out of there, Sophia hurriedly followed behind. “Ethan, wait!” She called out, and he sighed soon as he came to a halt. “What is it Sophia? Is there something else that you would like to say to me?”“First, I want to apologize for the way that I spoke to you. And also don't you get tired of being some sort of

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

    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

    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

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

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
