Ethan already prepared to sleep early when he heard a knock on the door. He sat up and frowned. He was lazy to walk up to the door, so he yelled. "Who is it?" He asked. "Um, it is I... Your grandfather has asked to see you" the maid spoke. Ethan furrowed his eyebrows, as confusion washed over him. He hasn't spoken to his grandfather in ages. But now, he was asking after him. He only remembered seeing him the last time at the last family gathering.He threw his legs off the bed and slipped his foot into his slippers. Lazily, he walked out of the room and appeared at his grandfather's room. He knocked the door and yawned, covering his mouth. "Come in Ethan" his grandfather spoke from inside. He gathered strength and entered the room. "Hello grandfather" he greeted. "Ethan... It's great to see you. Come in" his grandfather said, walking around the room. Even if he was old, he still looked fit. He closed the windows himself. He even walked to his table and fetched a cup of water fo
Gwen arrived at the club already. She stood in front, seeing the naked ladies and other men hooking up and smooching in front. She squeezed her face in disgust as it made her remember her former boss who gave her a job in exchange for her body. She bit her lower lips and clenched her fist. "It's not new to you Gwen. If he asks for it, give it to him" she said to herself and walked in. She walked pass the huge men by the door. One of the stopped her and check a picture on his phone. "She's the one" he said. "I'll take her to him!" The second one added and stretched his hand. "This way, miss" he said. "Huh?" Gwen asked. "He has been waiting for you" he said. It was then Gwen knew they were talking about Ben. She wore a fake smile and entered into the club. The loud music enveloped her. The sight of naked ladies dancing on poles, exposing their tits and bare ass to the men who were getting tempted to touch them. She took her gaze off their body and walked up the stairs till she
Ethan gently dragged Gwen to the kitchen and helped her with her burnt finger. Gwen didn't expect that type of help from her boss. She just kept smiling and looking at him. She gripped the tip of her gown, thinking of how to thank him for last night. She knew that if he hadn't come on time, Ben would have tried to hurt her or even do the unthinkable."Thank you for saving me from your cousin, Ethan" she finally spoke. "I did what I had to do, as your boss" he replied, without looking at her. Gwen felt awkward. "I know your mom didn't know you were my boss and she thought I was your girlfriend..." He let go of her hand. "Well, she's wrong. I apologize for that. You're not my girlfriend, you're just an employee of mine and it's my duty to save my employees. There's nothing between us Gwen. You don't need to feel comfortable around me" he said and walked away. Gwen gazed at her finger and left after him. She went back to the dinning table and ate silently. She watched as Mr and Mr
Everyone got to the house after dropping Gwen's grandmother at the hospital. It was a long ride. Michelle helped her move into her new room. "Again, I welcome you to the Croydon's manor" she said. Gwen smiled. "Thanks ma'am. I promise to leave after all is over""Oh, it's okay. You can stay here. I'm sure Ethan will be happy" Michelle said. Gwen just lowered her head and blushed secretly. "You have access to a balcony and also to the kitchen. You have access to everywhere just don't go to Christopher's office" "Of course ma'am"Michelle said and wanted to leave. She remembered something. "Don't say a word about the investigation to Ethan. I don't want him to get worried""I won't" Michelle placed a hand on her shoulder and finally left. He went to the lobby where Christopher and detective Jones were. "Ben or his father?" Detective Jones asked Christopher.She walked in, hearing that question. "Ginny didn't give me the details but, she told me that Ben came home badly hurt a
Wilson barged into Ethan's office, holding some files. He dropped them on the table and stopped to catch his breath. Since morning, he has been working non stop. He also has to be careful since the recorder was still on, under the desk. "These are the files you requested for" "Thank you. You can take a break" he said. "But, how do you intend on contacting those models? It's so difficult" Wilson asked. "I'll handle it. I'll find a way" Ethan sighed."I'll be outside if you need anything" he said. "Sure" he replied. Ethan leaned back and started thinking. "How do I get those people to work for me?" He asked himself. He's aware that the team has sent them an email but, they chose to ignore it. They are indirectly ignoring the offer. "There must be a way" he clenched his fist. .."Since the idea was to steal Ethan's idea, you have to keep stealing it. Get those models to work for you. He hasn't gotten them yet" Peter said to Ben. He just sat on his chair, jerking it right to l
Peter rushed into Ben's office and banged his hand on the table, while Ben laughed at the screen of his phone. "It's been two days and we haven't gotten James TD. We have to do something!" He yelled. Ben didn't even bulge. He just kept staring at the screen of his phone. "Ben!" Peter yelled. Ben turned and gaze at Peter. "It's your fucking duty Peter. If my father finds out that you haven't gotten the bloody ass James TD, he'll fire you. All he'll do to me is yell at me" Ben rolled his eyes. "What?" Peter looked surprised. The door flew wide open and Manuel walked in. "Mr Manuel!" Peter bowed. Ben saw his father and rushed to him. "Father!" He said. Before Ben could reach his father, he slapped him hard on the cheek. Manuel growled angrily. "F..father?" He called out. "You are a disgrace! How dare you! This is the last chance for you to prove yourself!""I'm trying my best father" Ben said. "I don't see your best. Ethan has gotten Hazel Morgan already...""Impossible!" He
The next day, Kelly was dressed up as Chloe. Ethan even helped her pick the perfect outfit. Wilson already set up the fancy dinner at the penthouse. "The wig is itching" Kelly scratched her head. "You look like Chloe. You just have to add badass to your character" "I really can't do that part" Kelly replied. "Whatever, just act like you're really a model" he said. "Yes sir" Kelly rolled her eyes. Ethan checked his wrist watch. "Uh, I'll have to go pick him up in an hour. You should go wait in the penthouse""Okay" Kelly replied. Ethan ran out of the room and almost bumped into Hazel. Kelly saw Ethan's phone on the table and rushed out to give it to him. "Oh hey Ethan. I was looking for you" Hazel said, throwing her hair to the back. "Oh, hey! I saw some event planner with your mother. What's happening?""Oh, my grandpa's birthday. It's going to be splendid. If you don't want to attend, you can..." He stopped when the door opened and Kelly walked out, dressed like Chloe. Ha
For several hours, Kelly has been with James. She has been laughing out her ass as he told her some jokes. James just watched her silently with a cute smile on his face. "You know, I really enjoy spending time with you. It's like I can stay here the entire night with you" he said. The look on her face vanished immediately. She was feeling guilty. "I should tell you something James" she started. "You don't have to say anything" he replied. "No, I can't hide it anymore. I don't want to fool you. I'm not Chloe. I'm her twin sister, Kelly" Kelly said and dragged down her wig. "I'm sorry for lying to you the entire time. My brother...""Kelly" James called out. She stopped ranting and kept mute. "I know you were Kelly even before I arrived here" "What?" Kelly was confused. If he knew she was Kelly, why has he been calling her Chloe and acting like he doesn't know? James poured some wine into the glasses. "Chloe is with my father right now, shooting a movie""Oh, busted" she folde
Few weeks back...At the orphanage, before Evan's death. He left home, heading to the orphanage as usual. He always spend his Saturday there, with the children. The driver took him there and left. Evan didn't leave the orphanage home till it was late in the evening. He was by the gate, waiting for his driver when he heard the explosion. He rushed in and was lucky that no one was close to the kitchen. He helped everyone out. That was when Ben sneaked out of the orphanage home, together with the kids. He was hurt and his clothes were already burnt. He rushed to his car, coughing hard. He took off his jacket and his half burnt shirt.Evan went in, still looking for some kids. He checked the whole rooms, covering his mouth, careful not to inhale any smoke. He was running out of breath and he didn't find any more kids, so he rushed to the emergency door. He was trying to open it because it could only be open from the inside. The door finally open.Immediately, he stepped out, someone kick
It was noon already. Guests from different families, different backgrounds, different countries came to the manor. The hall was big enough to contain a hundred guests and that was the limit. Mr Croydon said he didn't want anything more than that. He wasn't interested in flaunting his money by throwing huge parties.Christopher entered his father's room to bring him out for his birthday. He saw his father getting ready in front of the mirror. He didn't wear a suit. He was shocked to see his father wearing a shirt with a designer knee length short. He added a chain and glasses, with a pair of sneakers.Christopher shot his mouth wide open from the moment he walked in. "Father! Why on earth would you wear that?""I'm getting old already. I'm tired of the suits and corporate wears" he replied. "I understand but this? Governors and some important people are down there""Great, I won't be noticed at all" Mr Croydon replied.Christopher groaned in frustration. "You know my birthday isn't
