The Understimated Heir Freedom
The group waiting outside for Ethan to open the door only seemed to get bigger the more aggressively Mr. Rider beat on the door. “You bastard, open this damn door right now, Ethan!” Mr. Rider's voice blasted through the door.Ignoring his father's screams and the whisperings from the guests that only seemed to be getting louder, Ethan give Nina a small smile and said, “If you want to use the rumors that we are having sex to break up your engagement, then I don't need to take advantage of your body for that to happen...”As Nina was about to argue with his logic, Ethan place his index finger on her lips and said, “Listen,”The whispers had long since become loud, arrogant statements, and Nina heard a lady echo out her opinion, “Does this child have any sense? She cheated on Charles with a servant boy… What kind of stupid woman does that?”“I can’t believe he is having an affair with her too, knowing that the Walkers are her soon-to-be in-laws.” Another lady said loudly.As the reali

The morning light met Ethan standing at the window, watching the sunrise in the east, his mind running over the conversation he eavesdropped on last night between the two men. Then when he heard the mattress move, he stretched his tired muscles and yawned before turning to the bed to see Nina wearing his black shirt with his pair of sweatpants that were both huge on her. “Good morning,” She whispered, looking over at the couch he slept on and feeling a sense of guilt for taking his bed. “Morning,” Ethan said, noticing the discomfort on her face, and thinking that now that the drugs were out of her system, she was regretting last night's event. “Are you regretting what you did for me last night?” Nina asked, rubbing her arm anxiously as she avoided his gaze. “No,” Ethan instantly responded. There was an awkward brief silence between them, with her still staring intently at his body until she asked, “Are you sure?” “Very sure.” Ethan replied. “Oh… Okay.” “How about you?” “No, I

As rage roamed in him, Mr. Simone slapped his hand on the table, his face red with rage, and shouted atEthan and his daughter, “He’s a scumbag!! That man is worthless!! A total waste of his family name-”“Wow! It’s a good thing that you are not the one marrying him then.” Nina snorted, trying to keep calm and act cool even though her heart raced rapidly at his aggressiveness. “Because I am. And Ethan and I don’t need your blessings!”The way Mr. Simone's eyes bulged out of his head with anger and his jaw dropped in horror caused her satisfaction to rise higher than ever, making her happy at being able to put him in his place, but still, it didn’t erase the fear that was beginning to build in her when she remembered that Ethan was getting dragged into her family mess.Like he could tell what she feared, Mr. Simone looked over at Ethan, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and then yelled at him, “You want to marry my daughter?!”“Yes, Mr. Simone,” Ethan said, trying to be respectful, even th
Last Updated : 2022-10-05The Understimated Heir Don't die here
Silence settled at the table as Nina bit her lip, scared of what Ethan would think of her if her advice went south. But when she saw a smile slowly creep on his lips as he gazed deeply into her eyes, her worries disappeared.“Thanks,” Ethan said, his smile becoming larger as he stared at her.“No problem,” Nina replied, ignoring the heat rushing up her cheeks as she handed his phone back to him.“Excuse me, what would you two be ordering?” A cheerful voice interrupted their peaceful moment.After exchanging a brief look, the two turned their heads toward the waitress, who gave them a wide grin, revealing her dimples and big brown eyes which sparkled with happiness as she waited expectantly.“Can I have two slices of strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and cinnamon? One cup of dark coffee? And a small bottle of water?” Ethan stated as he took out his wallet, and the girl wrote down his order, giving him a bright smile as she went on.“And I will have apple pie, please. And one orde

The shop was tense in silence as everyone held their breaths as they waited for something to happen between Ethan and Drak, as though their lives depended on it. “Your teacher's teaching must be crappy for you to cheat again with a weapon, or maybe you are just a dumbass who can't do any better than this!” Ethan taunted with a growl, his lips pulled in a crooked smile as he lifted his chin, meeting Drak’s glare. Standing his ground, Ethan studied Drak's body language, his eyes, and ears alert for the slightest movement, calculating his next move. Just like the impatient fool he knew Drak to be, it didn't take long for him to tighten his grip on the knife, rushing for Ethan like a madman, screaming. Tightening his own hands into a ball, Ethan's muscles tense, preparing for the coming onslaught of attacks, waiting for Drak, and once he saw him coming, he quickly raised his right leg and kicked Drak in the stomach, catching him off guard and sending him flying across the room.

“How did you learn to fight like that?!” Nina laughed, sitting in the backseat of the taxi with Ethan by her side.A smug smile appeared on his lips and he leaned back in his seat. “I was a bit too young when I started learning to fight... At the age of two, my mother put me in Infinity Martial Arts school, and I was trained by a Chinese master called Dokkaebi Lee. He was tough, and by the first week of class, I was his only student...” “Wow!” Nina gasped. “That sounds so intense. What happened?”“Other mothers claim that he was making their kids cry too much, but I love being with him since my mother was always working, and he used to take good care of me.”“Aww,”Seeing how pitifully she was staring at him with push-up lips made Ethan burst into laughter, causing Nina’s cheeks to turn rosy when he muttered, “You are so cute with that face.”“Shut up!” Nina teased, facing the window, and yet, her heart was beating fast from embarrassment.A while later, the taxi came to a stop at a

Pulling the huge glass doors open, Mr. Sue led Ethan and Nina into a marble office, closing the door and motioning them to sit down on two chairs facing each other. Once Ethan and Nina sat down, Mr. Sue went to sit behind the desk before speaking again, “Well, I hope you both have a good reason for coming here.”“We heard that you are selling shares in your company and we want some of them,” Ethan said, resting back in his seat, his eyes never leaving Mr. Sue’s glare.Although he wanted to get mad that these two who had the most ruined reputation in the country were sitting across from him, making claims that their status prove to be impossible for them, Mr. Sue held himself together as he calmly asked, “If you can give me four million right now, I will give you fifty percent of my company.”Even though four million was just the right amount he needed to settle his financial affairs, he was being sarcastic and wanted to belittle them for making such a claim because his doubt and ar

The moment Ethan arrived at the gate of the Rider’s mansion, he dreaded the thought of facing Harrison, but he had to walk in there for Nina's sake, so he steeled himself, ringing the gate bell.Like music to Luke, the gatekeeper’s ears, he sat in his quarter, listening to the sound of the gate bell while staring at Ethan on the CCTV screen.“After the humiliation that you cost the boss last night, you still dare to show that your sorry ass here?” Luke scoffed. “You are blessed that you are still the boss’s son or else I would beat your ass now to gain favor with Madam Rider... Maybe I will even get a promotion after beating your worthless ass!”Frustrated that no one was answering the bell’s rings, Ethan walked over to the gate and started pounding on it, the noise echoing through the silent yard as he hit harder and harder.The more aggressively he beat the door, the madder Luke became and all he wanted to do was march out there to teach Ethan a lesson. But the thought of Madam Ride

The Understimated Heir I need a favor
When Nina slapped Ethan's face, his eyes opened wide, and then he blinked back the sleep, feeling the weight of her hand on his face.Slowly, he lifted her hand off his nose and mouth and rested it on the bed, watching her as she slept peacefully.A smile crept slowly onto his lips, and he stared at her for a moment longer before turning away, and standing up from bed.Silently, he moved across the room, the morning chill making goosebumps rise on his skin. Shirtless, he glanced out of the window, the sight of the sun rising in the distance bringing a sense of calm and purpose. Then with a deep breath, he retrieved his phone and dialed Avan’s number."I need a favor," Ethan said the moment Avan picked up on the second ring.After yawning in his ear, Avan's voice, tinged with a hint of curiosity, responded on the other end, "It's pretty early for favors, brother. What do you need?"For a moment, Ethan hesitated considering his words carefully before he spoke. "I need someone to keep Do
The Understimated Heir Room 1001
The sleek black Uber came to a smooth stop, its engine purring softly as Drak gracefully emerged from the vehicle. Tracy, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, stood there, her expression a medley of disapproval and impatience. As her eyes fell upon Drak, stepping out with an air of confidence, her features contorted, forming a scowl that threatened to unleash her wrath upon him."You're early!" Tracy's voice rang out, laced with irritation, as she scrutinized him with disapproving eyes.Drak paused before her, his gaze locked with hers, unfazed by the displeasure radiating from her every pore. "You say that like it's a bad thing," he retorted.The muscles on Tracy's face clenched, preparing to release the storm of her fury upon him for his audacity. However, her eyes drifted to the bandage wrapped tightly around Drak's head, and a wave of unexpected anxiety washed over her. In that moment, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, her anger shortly diffused."The only job I could
The Understimated Heir The mafia
Darting his eyes to the right, Ethan noticed three guys, coming towards them with menacing intentions etched on their faces. They moved with purpose, their strides purposeful and confident. With a quick flick of his gaze to the left, he saw another four dudes, equally as intimidating, closing in on them. The air grew thick with tension as their aggressive energy filled the bar, suffocating the peace that had previously lingered in the place.Turning away from the bartender, Ethan locked his gaze straight ahead, assessing the remaining six men, who were inching closer with every passing second. At that moment, Ethan's adrenaline surged through his veins, heightening his senses and sharpening his focus. His training had taught him to remain calm in the face of danger, to assess the situation, and to plan his next move. With a steely determination, he locked his gaze straight ahead, refusing to show any sign of fear or vulnerability.The remaining six men closed in, their footsteps ech
The Understimated Heir I will make sure you regret it.
There was this hesitant look in Tracy's eyes as she gazed at Drak, his bloodstained face and hand, and the blood dripping from his hair. Her gaze shifted from his face to his shoulder and then settled on the bottle beside him. "You swear on your mother's life that if I get you this job, you wouldn't report this incident and pretend like I never knew you?" She asked, her eyes boring into his.Stunned for a second, Drak nodded, his heart racing with hope. "I swear," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Tracy sighed, her eyes softening. "Fine. I'll see what I can do. But you better not mess this up, or I'll make sure you regret it.""I promise," Drak said.With a sigh, she reached into her bag. "Wait for my call tomorrow, and get yourself fixed before showing your face." She let out, and then took out her hand, tossing a few bucks on the floor. "Use that."Looking at the floor and the money scattered about, Drak's eyes darkened, but he didn't dare raise his head as he fought to c
The Understimated Heir Was this your plan all along?
Ethan's heart raced as he took one last glance at Nina. He knew he had to leave her out of all of these things because of her safety, but the thought of keeping things from her made his chest ache. With a heavy sigh, he stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him, the sound echoing through the empty hallway.Drak stood in front of him, his expression unreadable. They stood in silence for a moment, the weight of their mission heavy on their shoulders. Finally, Ethan broke the silence."What about London Hale?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.Drak's eyes flickered with a hint of amusement. "Ah, yes, Hale. The last time we spoke, you needed a way into his facility, and information on the bone marrow he stole from you..."The name alone sent shivers down Ethan’s spine. The last time they crossed paths, he had barely escaped with his life.He then nodded, his mind racing with memories of the painful procedure he had endured at Hale's hands.Drak's eyes flickered with
The Understimated Heir Rebellious spirit
The moment Mr. Rider walked into the dining room, it grew silent, no one daring to look up. He dragged out a chair and sat down heavily. His eyes immediately fell upon his Savannah, and she felt his gaze on her, but she didn't dare look up from the plate of food in front of her. "Savannah, I need all your car keys and your credit cards, and you should stay away from public eyes for the time being." Mr. Rider said with this unsettling calmness. Anger bubbled inside Savannah as she heard him address her like a child, and she tried not to lash out, saying, "Seriously! You are grounding me! Father, I am not a kid anymore. You can't-" "You live under my roof and earn from my money, you abide by the rules." Mr. Rider interrupted his voice hard. The rest of the family looked up at him, but before they could utter a word, he added, "If anyone thinks that I am being unfair, you can join her in her punishment." A pin drop could make a loud sound once those words left his lips, and for a
The Understimated Heir 9.999998 percent
Holding her eyes captive in his calm gaze, Ethan watched her, his lips slightly twitching and yet no words leaving them, causing Madam Rider to command, “Answer me!” Not a spark of fear showed in Ethan's eyes, and Madam Rider knew he wasn't the same... he wasn't the boy who showed up at their mansion desperate for a job, the boy that trembled at the sound of her voice, that took the insults, the abuse, and he definitely wasn't just a bastard and a servant... Something had changed about his aura, how he carried himself, the confidence that he held in her presence, and the way he looked, and talked. How his eyes were clear and steady, his face expressionless, his tone indifferent. It was so unlike the Ethan she knew... "How?" Ethan finally said. "What?" Madam Rider replied. Lowering his eyelids slightly, he held his silence, causing a look of frustration to flicker in her eyes. "Explain to me how I could make all of this happen," Ethan said, an expression finally showing on his
The Understimated Heir 10:10
10:00The party had grown even more lively, classical music still playing in the background, and everyone was enjoying themselves without a care in the world.There were so many familiar faces there that Ethan remembered from his and Nina’s wedding ceremony, and the way they were side-eyeing them now and whispering took him back to that day, and he clutched his fist tightly.10:10The ballroom suddenly grew this immediate tense energy as more guests started entering the hall one after the other, catching the attention of the others.It was a bunch of guys, young, and handsome, all walking into the room, and Nina stared after them, wondering who they were because she had been in the elite circle in the past, for a long while, and none of these faces, she could recognize.But her confusion soon faded when she stared up at Ethan, and saw the way he looked at these men with such a strange glint in his eyes.“Who are they?” Nina asked, not understanding why he was staring, but knowing that
The Understimated Heir Ten minutes to ten
As he stared at Ethan, Mr. Rider felt cornered, knowing that denying him would only lead to an explanation and more questions, and he didn't want to ruin the perfect image he had portrayed to the Hallow. He needed his reputation to stay faultless, and Ethan had the power to ruin so much. "Son, Nina, you guys are finally back. Two years have treated you two well, it seems." Mr. Rider said as he smiled weakly. "How about we catch up more tomorrow? As you can see, it's your sister's engagement ceremony, and tonight, it should be all about her and her fiance. Won't you agree?" It was clear what Mr. Rider was doing with his words, and Ethan could read the threat that lingered in his stares. "Of course, tonight is all about my beautiful sister. She is the true star of the show." Ethan answered, smiling at him as he saw the slight twitch in his eye. As the waiter was passing by him, he reached into the tray, grabbed a glass of champagne, and took a sip, ignoring the way Mr. Rider tried
