Vengeance of the Fallen Heir: From Cell to CEO CHAPTER 64
~ETHAN WILDER~Morning sex was underrated.That was the conclusion I came to as Alina rode me this morning. We had started with showering together but we shared a kiss and things grew hotter from there. And even hotter out of shower.We were both panting with our backs on the bed, eyes directed at the ceiling of my room as we caught our breaths. I chuckled, finding it funny that we got our of the shower only to get sweaty again.I glanced at my bedside clock, we still had some time to get ready for work. I turned to Alina to find her smiling at me."What?"Her smile got wider. "That was awesome." She whispered and scooted closer to plant a peck on my cheeks, giggling softly.I squeezed my eyes shut, enjoying how giddy I felt with her sweet gesture, wishing that we could just spend the whole day with each other. Naked and in love.Akina lofted herself of the bed, blonde hair in a mess as she ran her fingers through it. "Gotta get ready again." A smile played on her lips and danced in h

~~ETHAN WILDER~~I sat in my room for hours that night, tracing the ink on Sarah’s card. That small piece of paper became my hopeTrue to her word, Sarah didn’t just show me art when I finally gathered the courage to visit her a week later; she showed me the truth. It turned out that the "debt" Lenore claimed I owed was a fabrication. Sarah used her connections to dig into the hospital records from four years ago. Lenore hadn't saved my life from the fire, she had simply found me, an amnesiac with a gifted hand, and claimed me before anyone else could.Sarah was the one who provided the legal team to break the predatory contracts Lenore made me sign. She was the architect of my freedom. Â freedom she later took back from me. Time does have a cruel way of changing people.*PRESENT DAY*The plush silence of my executive office at the Phoenix Empire felt a world away from that cramped, dusty studio. I looked down at my thumb. The scar from the splinter was gone, but the memory of her si

ETHAN WILDERThe art gallery was suffocating. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume, aged wine, and the pretentious hum of people who bought art to match their sofas.I stood in the corner, dressed in a suit Lenore had picked out, one that fit well but felt like a cage. My job was simple: stand still, look "mysterious," and let Lenore do the talking. She had introduced me as her "assistant," the man who helped with the "preparation" of her masterpieces."Smile, Ethan," Lenore whispered, her hand gripping my arm with surprising strength as a group of critics walked by. "You look like you’re at a funeral.""I’m just tired, Lenore," I murmured. My stomach was still hollow, despite the trays of hors d'oeuvres circling the room. I wasn't allowed to touch them; it would look "unprofessional.""Adjust the lighting on the centerpiece and then disappear to the back," she ordered, spotting a wealthy donor across the room. She glided away before I could respond.I walked toward t

~~YEARS EARLIER~~“The car. It’s getting out of control. Do something !” a panicked voice growled from the passenger’s seatThe driver gripped the gear tightly and slammed his feet on the brake. “I am trying!! Nothing seems to be working!” He yelped. “Make it work!” A feminine voice screeched. “There’s no fucking way I am losing it all due to your carelessness, Amos”“I am trying ma’am. The vehicle must have been tampered with at the garage. Something is off. None of the controls seems to be working” the driver, now frustrated, screamed back“What do we d….”Words trailed off and everything happened in a blink. Tires screeched, glass shattered, agony screams filled the air and fire broke out, incinerating everything in the way almost immediately.“Somebody Help!” Â desperate cry of helo, filled with agony but we knew it’s all pointless. Help can’t arrive as quickly as we need it. So fate was accepted. A defeaning silence followed afterwards except for the crackle. ~~ETHAN~~I sta

~~CAROLINE~~I stayed in the mansion until the shadows grew long and the house finally fell into silence. My uncles had eventually left, though I knew they were only retreating to their respective corners to call their lawyers.None of them would accept that easily. My parents had left to their own hone after I assured them about a hundred times I'd be good on my own. I just needed time to be alone, time to grief a loss I greatly feel. I picked up the paper Harrison had left. Damian’s signature was still there. It was all real. "Twelve years," I whispered to the empty front room.I remembered the rain. I remembered the sound of his apartment door clicking shut behind me. Most of all, I remembered the look in his eyes, zero remorse and a terrifying indifference. That indifference had shattered me, it took me years to barely recover from it and the aftermath still clung. The failed relationships that followed can as well be traced to it. A heavy knock at the front door startled me.

~~ MAYA CAROLINE~~The funeral was held two days after, on a Sunday afternoon. Pete was a known man and the turnout reflected it. His four children; David and his three siblings, Marcus, Edward and Clement stood in a somber line. Pete never had a daughter and even as grandchildren, it is just me.I stood behind them, a black veil obscuring my eyes from the people that were present. I watched my uncles dab at their eyes, but I couldn't help but notice the way their eyes smiled as they glanced they cast toward the casket. The priest’s voice soon rose in a short prayer."Dust to dust," he murmured, "We entrust our brother, Pete, to the mercy of the Creator, in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection."As the casket began its slow descent into the earth, I watched my uncles. They stood stiffly, their shoulders hunched in a display of grief that didn't quite reach their posture. The corny smiles I had seen earlier were now tucked behind pressed handkerchiefs.The moment the fi
