Ethan glanced at his phone for the third time, he had been calling Lucian to no response.For some reason, he felt uneasy, uncomfortable. Hannah was fast asleep by now. Ethan thought it must have been the IV drip that made it impossible to keep her eyes open, unknown to him that she was awake, but was only avoiding him. She didn’t want to have a conversation with him, lest she broke down and let her fears slip. Ethan walked over to her bedside, studying her for a moment. Gently, he leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I’m going to check on Lucian. I won’t take long, I promise.”Hannah froze beneath his touch, but she didn’t stir. Her fingers curled around the edge of the blanket.Ethan straightened, watching her for a second longer before stepping away. The quiet hum of the machines filled the space between them, but it wasn’t enough to silence the thoughts brewing in his chest. Perhaps his worry over Lucian stemmed from the fact that he had confided in him over his inte

Lucian clenched his jaw, gripping the phone right. “I’m fine. But forget about me— where are you? How are you?”“On my way to end this,” Ethan replied in a cold voice. Lucian ran a hand through his hair, his blood spiked. “Please don’t go in alone. Let me come with you.”“You’re hurt, Lucian. This is my problem to handle.”“It is my problem too! I mean you’re my boss, it’s my duty.”“We are not in the military, Lucian. I won’t let you get hurt because of my family.”“Lily…” Lucian’s voice cracked, “I promised Lily. Look I know that you don’t want me to be with Lily but I like her and I made a promise to her.”“There’s something you should know before jumping into this?”“What? That you two were almost married? Yeah, I heard. It struck me, I felt sorry, regretting that I wasn’t there to help with the pain you must have gone through, but still, I like her. I looked at her and I could the guilt of everything eating at her, and I wanted to just love the guilt away from her. I couldn’t b

The room was silent, save for the slow measured breaths of the five men who had just been offered a deal like never before. Ethan stood tall, unblinking, his pulse hammering as he studied their faces. Five million dollars for their help was more than they could ever get as lackeys. One of the thugs, a man with a jagged scar running down his cheek exchanged glances with the others. He was the first to speak. “Why should we believe you? You walked in here with fake money!”“I walked in with fake money to take down Michael, either way, you guys will go down with him.”“Do you want us to kill him?”“No,” Ethan replied curtly. “Work with me to frame him for it all and keep five million for yourselves. No one ever talks about it again.”The men went quiet, contemplating. Hannah shifted against the cold wall, her hands still bound. Her heart pounded as she watched Ethan. He had found the crack in loyalty but this wasn’t the direction she thought it would take. It seemed like Ethan was pl

Ethan managed to calm him and walked him inside the hospital with Hannah by his side. “Is he okay?” She whispered. Ethan nodded slightly. “Are you?”“I’m not scared. Lily can take care of herself.” She said confidently but deep down, she was shaken. She had just been kidnapped in this hospital. In this hospital. Hannah stopped abruptly. “I don’t want to stay here.”Ethan raised his brow, “You have to get treated, Hannah. Please.”“I can’t go back in there Ethan, the doctors in this hospital helped Michael. I don’t feel safe going back in there.”Ethan’s frown softened realizing she was right. She had been through a traumatizing experience. It was okay for her to be scared.“I hadn’t thought about it that way, you’re right.”Lucian turned to Hannah, his eyes filled with gratitude. “You have a point. I’m going home, Ethan.”“Nobody is going anywhere until I say so. If you’ll not be in this hospital, then I’ll take you to another hospital.”“No,” Hannah and Lucian chorused. Ethan sig

Lucian’s jaw twitched, he was tired of Ethan playing it safe all the time. If this was Michael’s doing, it only proved that he did not think Ethan was someone he had to fear. If they were going to send a message, they needed to be ruthless. “We should be hunting him down, not just waiting around.” Lucian blurted.Ethan’s eyes darkened as he glanced at Lucian. “We will. But for now, we do this my way.”Lucian didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t argue. Even though left for him, Michael would be rotting in an asylum or prison by now, he knew it was best not to challenge Ethan’s authority. He may not have acted the way he always wanted, but he could not deny that he’d always gotten things done as well.Meanwhile, inside, Hannah sat with Lily, drumming her fingers against her knee, anxious and bored. Lily on the other hand was still staring at the window, unable to shake her fear. “You think it was him, don’t you?” Lily whispered, shifting her gaze towards Hannah.Hannah exhaled. “I don’
