“I’ve finally found you!” Ethan said with his hands tucked in his pockets.“What is he doing here?” Rose asked in shock.“I don’t know, Mr. Sinclair has never attended any of the events I’ve hosted before,” Mason responded with a hint of irritation in his voice.[FLASH BACK TO FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLIER]“Sir?” Tom called for Ethan as they were about to step into the elevator. Zoe glared at him for disturbing them but he ignored her and leaned in closer to Ethan, “Can I have a word?”“Can’t it wait?” Ethan asked in his usual grumpy tone.“No, Sir.” “Wait for me over there,” Ethan said to Zoe gesturing to the couch in the lobby.“But Ethan!” Zoe protested and was about to reach for his arm when he left her hanging and walked away with Tom following behind.Curling her hands into fits, she walked over to the couch but her heart was still boiling. She hated that even after trying to bribe Tom, he never used to give her the attention that she was craving. Zoe loved to be worshiped and seei
“What?” Everyone turned to face the door. “I don’t think the people sitting in this room are deaf,” Ethan said in a mocking tone. “Mr. Sinclair!” Mr. Gilbert asked in a shocked voice but quickly recovered and coughed to mask his surprise, “Please, come in and take a seat!”“This is a private meeting, Mr. Gilbert! Why would you invite him in?” Mason stepped forward and asked.“Didn’t you hear what I said? He’s the one you will be working for as of tomorrow!” Mr. Gilbert’s face was now red from anger.Unlike him, everyone else knew that Ethan wasn’t someone you’d mess with and walk away unscratched. What Rose didn’t know was that Ethan had spent the past five years searching for her high and low like a madman. When he learned of her disappearance, Zoe made him believe she had intentionally killed the child so she could be free and run off with Mason, the man he believed she was in love with. So it angered him and he decided to marry Zoe against his grandfather’s wish. Georgina was
Rose felt blood rush to her ears as she watched a smug smile stretch Ethan’s lips like he was enjoying the pain he was bringing her.“You’re truly a bastard! I’m not Mrs. Sinclair! But it seems your brain has been far from you lately, so let me jog your memory, we are divorced, and no matter what games you have up your sleeve, I won’t let you win!”Ethan was taken aback by the coldness in Rose’s tone. She sounded so cold with so much hatred that it made his blood boil. She was the one who caused him pain and ran away with her lover, so how dare she act like a victim?“Is that so? News flash to you, you’re still married to me because I burnt those fucking papers to the ground! So unless you want me to add charges against your precious lover, I suggest you sit down!” He said coldly.Rose felt her mouth open and close like a fish but no words came out. Why didn't he sign the papers if that would give him the freedom to marry his love, Zoe? Rose wondered but despite the confusion brewing
“That's so sad. What a poor girl!” Ethan heard someone say as they stepped out of the elevator. In the lobby, several people looked confused like something major had justhappenedSome people were being questioned by the police while others were hugging each other as the staff tried to calm the situation"Please remain calm as we get to the bottom of it. The police here will help us and we have asked security to increase the number of men." The manager said calmly even though his insides were twisting from fear when his gaze landed on Ethan. Someone had just been kidnapped right at the entrance. The hotel would take a great hit and he could lose his job.“What happened?” Ethan asked Tom who joined him as he held Zoe's arm to support her.“Someone has been kidnapped. “ Tom pushed his glasses forward. “How can someone get kidnapped in this area? Get all the information and make sure the entire security team is replaced!” Ethan commanded as he continued to walk.“Mr. Sinclair?” Detect
“Who are you and what do you want?” Rose cried as she tried to shake herself from the chair where she was still tied. A black sack was placed over her head and it made her cry even more. Rose was afraid of the dark. It was a trauma that she lived with since the day the building collapsed. The sack was pulled off her head as a dark chuckle sent a cold shiver down her spine. She felt a knife stabbing her collarbone but not deep enough to cut her. “That's not how this works darling! I ask the questions and you answer!” The man laughed, a sadistic sound reaching her ears. Hot tears ran down her cheeks as the faces of her little angels flashed before her. She had no family, who would they end up with if she died?“Please! Please, I'm begging you to let me go!” Rose cried.The man chuckled, his stinky breath fanning her face like he found her sorrow amusing.“Now why would I do that?” He ran the cold metal against her skin. A cruel reminder of what awaited her. “I have children and the
“Are you being serious?” Natalie asked in a shocked voice as she sat next to Rose.Two weeks had passed since she was abducted and she had recovered from the physical pain. She immediately returned to her home in the small town away from the city for fear of Ethan seeing Caleb and Daisy.“You can imagine, the audacity!” Rose sneered.“Girl, why didn't you call me and I would have kicked him out?” Natalie said while smacking her fist into her hand making Rose laugh.A soft knock on the door made both of them turn and a smile stretched Rose’s face when she saw Mason. He was looking handsome in black pants and a beige sweater. His Asian features served him like a superpower because he didn’t seem to age.“Am I disturbing a girls’s chat?” He asked with a smile making Natalie roll her eyes as she stood,“Girl’s chat? Really? I need to teach you better pick up line!” She teased as she walked out.“Natalie, go away!” Rose shouted, feeling embarrassed at her bluntness. Natalie left the living
Rose laughed, “Mason, are you being serious right now?” She asked in disbelief.“Yes, I am. I really want to know. I love you, Rose. I had no problem waiting until you started loving me back, but seeing that your ex still has an effect on you makes me feel insecure.” Mason said softly, almost as if he was pleading.Rose reached forward and touched his hand, “I promise you have nothing to worry about. I wouldn’t take him back in my right senses. I’m only going to Sun City to revive my jewelry shop. I’ve done this before and Ethan hated it, he won’t even know I’m there.”Mason sighed, his heart feeling lighter after hearing the assurance, “Fine. I’ll trust you and let you handle it. But will you take Caleb and Daisy?”“No, I can’t risk Ethan finding out, I’ll leave them with my aunt. She will come here to help me since she’s alone and Uncle mostly serves outside the country.” Rose responded, her heart clenching at the thought of being away from her kids for a while.“I’ll help out too,”
The door flew open and hit the wall at the impact. Ethan stepped into the apartment with his chest heaving in anger as his grey eyes darkened from a dangerous storm brewing inside them. Zoe was still staying in his penthouse so he had the spare key card to open it. “Zoe?” His deep voice echoed through the empty house. He searched every room and couldn’t find her. He even knocked on her bedroom but still couldn’t see her. His temper worsened as he pulled out his phone to dial her number. Just as he placed it on his ear, the door opened and a frail-looking Zoe stepped in. She was wearing pajamas and had a plastic in her hands.“Ethan?” She asked in a weak voice as she faked another cough.Ethan ignored her outburst and asked, “Didn’t I tell you I was coming over?” His voice was cold and his eyes were devoid of emotion. Zoe felt a shiver run down her spine when she noticed manipulation wouldn’t work on him. Not when he was in this mood.“I wasn’t feeling well, So I stepped out-”“The
