Ina returned to the kitchen and hummed a song. She’s in a good mood after what she had seen earlier. Maxime, who was cooking the porridge for Austin, looked at her suspiciously. ‘What’s the matter with this girl? She seems happy.’
“Hey,” Maxime greeted.
“Oh, hi there. What are you doing?” Ina greeted her back, then inspected the pot in front of Maxime.
“I’m cooking porridge for Boss Austin. What about you? You seem… happy.” She asked.
Ina shrugged and grinned at her. ‘Maybe I should ask Maxime. She was with Alexa earlier, and she knows what had happened between them.’
I said pleasure me,” Ethan said in a lazy tone.Alexa got up and sat on the bed with her legs crossed. “Master,” she took a deep breath and gained all the strength she had. ‘I should never let him toy me again.’“Don’t you know how to pleasure yourself? Or get someone else to please you instead of me?” Ethan glared at her, feeling insulted.“What did you say? You have the guts to answer me…” He scoffed.“Aren’t you scared for your life?” Gritting his teeth, he held her face and squeezed it, making Alexa wince in pain. But when she recovered, she slapped his hand hard enough to release her. Ethan glared. If looks could kill, Alexa would be d
Alexa woke up with a heavy feeling. ‘Something’s off.’ She thought as she felt something massive was pressing down on her body. Her eyes widened when she opened it and saw an arm and a leg wrapped around her still naked body. This was the first time Ethan stayed over after they’d had sex. He would always leave as soon as he got satisfied. Alexa recalled what happened the night before, and her face turned red when she remembered moaning so loudly and with complete abandon. ‘Shit! that was embarrassing!’ She pulled the sheets over her head to cover her embarrassment. ‘Wait… What is he still doing here? Why did he sleep here… In my bed?’ She removed the sheet that covered her face. ‘Maybe
The next morning, Austin summoned Alexa to his room. “How are you?” He frowned upon noticing the bruises on Alexa’s neck. ‘Damn that man. Did he try to kill her? Poor girl…’ He thought.“I’m fine. Thank you for asking.” Alexa smiled weakly.He sighed. “Master told me he’d be gone for the next few weeks, so he asked me to tell you that while he is gone, you will replace Maxime with helping Ina, doing the chores around the villa. But you can’t get groceries, roam outside, or go anywhere you’ve been restricted from.”‘Oh, that’s good. I can finally leave my room.’ Alexa felt deli
“Sir, there’s an incoming call from the Office of the President. The President wants to talk to you.” Ethan’s secretary informed him.He was in the middle of the meeting when his secretary came in, holding the phone. He raised his hand to stop the video conference. “Excuse me for a second. It’s important that I take this call. Let’s take a quick break. I’ll be back as soon as I'm done.” He smiled and walked out of the conference room.“Hello,” Ethan answered as soon as he reached his office.“Ethan,” a familiar man’s voice answered. “I called you personally to say that I freed my schedule for you. Come and visit me at my house for dinner. Let’s talk there.”“When a
At the President’s VillaEthan arrived at the villa, and the President welcomed him with a warm hug. Albert Morris is Austin’s father and the current President of Country P. His wife and daughter passed away fifteen years ago in a very traumatic event. So Albert was left alone to care for Austin, his one and only son.“How are you? And my son?” The President asked.“We’re good, Uncle. Just taking care of business as usual. How about you?” The President sighed, “Well, I’ve been busy too. Being President of the country makes me feel like I have tons of children to take care of… But I can't even take care of my own.” He half-jokingly said and chuckled. Ethan smiled weakly as he remembered the tragedy that had happened fifteen years ago.15 Years Ago
“Usher the other guests outside the villa. I don’t want any witnesses. This is for your eyes only.” He snickered as Albert, Christian, Ethan, and Martha frowned in confusion.“W-What (cough)... are you planning (cough)?” Christian asked. His face kept getting paler as he kept on losing blood.“If I were you, I would stop speaking. Reserve your strength so you can live to see what I have to do.” Andrew said sarcastically.“Men, hold Albert, and that kiddo… Sit them on the sofa so they can enjoy my present.” He commanded. Ethan tried to shove the guards away, but with his slight frame, he was no match. Albert decided to sit and watch before he planned to do anything. Having several men have their guns pointed in his face did not exactly give him confidence.
Back to Present (At the President’s Villa)“Don’t blame yourself for everything that happened 15 years ago, Uncle,” Ethan comforted him. “You’re not a terrible father… Austin wouldn’t be as good as he is today if you weren’t a good father to him. What happened then was all Andrew Morgan’s fault.” His eyes ignited with anger as he clenched his fist.“And I know how to get our revenge because I know how to find him.” Albert frowned in confusion.“What do you mean?” He asked, looking at Ethan with knitted brows.“I know where to find him. But we need to be careful, as there is someone who’s supporting him.” He smirked.“How- How di
Maxime ran to Austin’s room in a hurry. When she pushed the door hastily open, Austin looked at her, stunned. He frowned as he listened half-heartedly to the person on the phone.“What the hell, Maxime!” He yelled, but Maxime quickly knocked out the phone away from Austin’s hand and scrambled to pick it up off the bed.Maxime didn’t even bother to look at the screen and ended the call without hesitation. She huffed to take in the air she lost from running in the hallway to reach his room. When she realized what she’d done and how it looked awkward that she was crouched on top of his bed, Maxine stood up and fixed her uniform.“Do you have a death wish? Why did you take my phone like that? Are you nuts?” Austin was enraged after what Maxime did to him.
