Chapter 120: MAYBE THE KITCHEN COULD HELP.

Ethan sat heavily on the edge of the bed, his frustration boiling over as he ran his hands through his hair, tugging at it in anger. The tension from the argument with Brandon still lingered in the air, and he could feel the sting of Brandon’s harsh words echoing in his mind. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the air conditioner, but inside Ethan, a storm was raging.His phone buzzed, pulling him out of his thoughts. A text from Lornado, asking for an audience with him, flashed on the screen. Ethan sighed, lacking the energy to leave the room but knowing he couldn’t ignore his duties. He texted back, instructing Lornado to come to the bedroom instead.When Lornado entered, Ethan straightened up, pushing his emotions aside to maintain his usual composed demeanor. But even as he tried to mask his turmoil, a part of him couldn’t let go of the thoughts tormenting him."Sir, you still haven't given the go-ahead on what we should do. You're yet to revise the second set of inform

Chapter 121: FRAGILE GAUZE.

They headed back to the bedroom to get dressed for Britney's much-needed shopping trip. After a quick shower, Brandon turned to Ethan with an unexpected request."Where’s the first aid kit?" Brandon asked, his voice calm but firm.Ethan raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback. Still, without much thought, he retrieved the kit from the bathroom cabinet and handed it over."Let me take care of this before it gets worse," Brandon said, gently guiding Ethan to sit on the edge of the bed.Ethan shook his head. "I already took care of it," he muttered, trying to downplay the situation.Brandon shot him a pointed look. "You did a half-hearted job. I’m not about to let this get infected on my watch," he insisted, his tone leaving no room for argument.As Brandon began to clean the bruised knuckles, Ethan watched in silence. Each careful movement was filled with an unspoken tenderness that made Ethan’s chest tighten. He could feel the depth of Brandon’s care in the way he handled his hand, the

Chapter 122: FUN RIDE.

Ethan sat in the waiting area of the men’s dressing room, his eyes scanning the racks of clothing as Brandon continued to try on different outfits. Suits, casual wear—nothing seemed to impress him. He was picky, maybe too picky, and it was starting to show in the furrow of his brows and the way he sighed at each rejected outfit.Brandon came out out of the dressing room once again, this time wearing a fitted black shirt that looked great with dark jeans which complemented his lean build. He studied Ethan’s expression, noticing the stress inhis eyes. After a moment, Brandon’s lips curled into a playful smirk as an idea took shape in his mind."Maybe I need to take off something," Brandon teased, his voice low and smooth, as he approached Ethan. "You’ve been on edge, and I think I know why."Ethan narrowed his eyes, feigning ignorance, though an obviousness of something more heated flashed in his eyes. "I don’t know what you’re talking about," he replied, his voice not as steady as he’d

Chapter 123: SILENT NIGHT.

As all good things must, their beautiful vacation was sadly drawing to an end. They had made sure to savor every moment. From a spirited volleyball game, where Britney somehow convinced Ethan and all the staff and security to join in, to a massive pizza-eating contest that saw the winner walk away with a two-thousand-dollar voucher—courtesy of Ethan, of course—every second was filled with laughter and joy. Their Sunday was spent in bliss, and yet, when Brandon reminded Ethan and Britney that it was time to go, Britney adamantly refused. She clung to the weekend like a child to her favorite toy, and Brandon practically had to drag her towards the car, much to her protests.This warmed Ethan's heart. He didn’t want to see them go either. Their presence had brought so much light and happiness into his world, a world that had been lonely and monotonous for far too long. The fun, the laughter, the sense of purpose they’d brought him—he hadn’t felt anything like it in ages. He couldn’t let

Chapter 124: THE DECISION WITH FATE.

Ethan strolled into the conference room, the greasy remains of a half-eaten cheeseburger clutched loosely in his hand. He took another lazy bite, letting the cheese stretch and snap, his jaw moving methodically as if he had all the time in the world.The flash of cameras created a blinding strobe, capturing every step he took, but Ethan hardly noticed. His eyes were fixed on the long, oval table where the board members and shareholders sat, their stares filled with curiosity, discomfort, and thinly veiled anticipation.The room was vast, cavernous even, with ceilings that soared high, making the air feel thin. The walls were lined with portraits and framed milestones—a show off to Wings’ legacy of success, now looming over the room like silent judges. A massive window framed the city skyline, the towering buildings outside a display of the empire Ethan had built—and the precarious line he was walking.At the head of the table, Gerald sat smugly, his posture too relaxed for the gravity

Chapter 125: FROZEN TIME.

Arden Thane stood at the head of the room, commanding the attention of every single person present. Even at nearly eighty, his presence was magnetic. His full head of gray hair, though thinning at the temples, remained neatly combed, a testament to the sharpness he maintained.His posture was bent slightly with age, but his wrinkled face held a dignity that commanded respect. His deep-set eyes, though tired, flickered with a knowing wisdom. There was a quiet strength to him, like a lion in winter—still powerful, still formidable.Gerald couldn't suppress the smug smile that crept across his face. Arden had been his ally for years, a close confidant, and Gerald was confident that their shared history would sway the vote in his favor. After all, Arden had never hidden his disdain for Ethan's reckless behavior. In fact, Arden’s public criticism of Ethan had been sharp and relentless over the years, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind where his loyalty lay. Gerald adjusted his tie, straight

Chapter 126: MAN ON FIRE.

Ethan leaned back in his chair, the weight of authority pressing down on the room as he claimed the head seat. His gaze cut across the table, dissecting each person with calm, predatory ease. His lips curled into a slight smile, sharp and unforgiving."Now that we’ve finished with the child's play," Ethan began, his voice like steel wrapped in silk, "and it’s clear that what I’ve built from the ground up can’t be so easily taken away, I have a gift for all of you."The once-confident board members who had plotted against him now sat rigid, their faces betraying traces of unease. They exchanged furtive glances, sensing something dark looming just beyond the horizon.Ethan gave a subtle nod toward the door. At his signal, Carter and Lornado entered, their steps measured, each carrying a stack of brown folders. One by one, they distributed the folders around the table, dropping them in front of each person except Arden, who watched the scene with quiet satisfaction.The rustle of papers

Chapter 127: WATCH YOUR BACK.

Detective Chen stood waiting in the hallway, flanked by her team. Her curt nod greeted them as she led the group into the conference hall. As she passed Ethan, she mumbled, “Congratulations.”Brandon followed closely behind Ethan, the familiar routine taking over as they reached the office. Without thinking, Brandon began helping Ethan out of his worn shirt and into something fresh. It was second nature by now, but he still couldn’t understand why Ethan refused to hire a new personal assistant. Becky’s workload had become unbearable without one.“You had a plan all along, didn’t you?” Brandon asked, his voice filled with curiosity and admiration. "That’s why you were so calm."Ethan smirked. "You told me to get my hands dirty. I was just taking your advice."Brandon narrowed his eyes playfully. “Don’t downplay it. You had this whole dramatic show lined up, didn’t you?” He stepped closer, his fingers deftly fastening the buttons on Ethan’s crisp, navy-blue shirt. “It was... hot. Got me

Chapter 128: THE BIG SURPRISE.

Brandon couldn’t focus for the rest of the day. His usual composed demeanor had been shattered, and everything he touched seemed to fall apart. He snapped at his subordinates over minor mistakes, his irritation simmering just beneath the surface. His unusual behavior did not go unnoticed—it was the first time anyone had seen him like this. Usually calm, collected, and even-tempered, today he was a different person.Even when he got home, the heavy weight of his thoughts remained. Britney was bubbling with excitement, clearly looking forward to dinner, but he brushed her off, murmuring an excuse before disappearing into the bathroom. The warm water cascading over his skin did little to calm the storm brewing inside him. It wasn’t just about Ethan, although he hated how at the mercy of someone else's choices he felt. Even though Ethan had reassured him that everything would be fine, it didn’t help. Not when he was the one who would be thrown into the spotlight.Was he really ready to re

Chapter 129: THE SPOTLIGHT.

Britney’s heart raced as she sprinted across the open field, her shoes crunching against the gravel beneath her feet. She anxiously glanced at her wristwatch, calculating how much time she had left until the presentation. It was her birthday, and while she wanted to catch whatever spectacle had everyone’s attention, she couldn’t afford to be late.The event, centered around cancer awareness and depression, meant the world to her. Today, she had the opportunity to speak, to share her mother’s story with an audience. It was her chance to make Brandon proud, even if he wasn’t there to witness it.As she neared the crowd, her eyes locked onto something that made her heart skip a beat. There, sitting grandly on the school’s open field, was a helicopter she recognized instantly. The bold lettering along the side read Wings, a name she could never forget. The same brand marked the jet that had whisked her and Brandon away to Greece. Her jaw dropped in disbelief. But when the doors slid open,
