~~ETHAN WILDER~~

I spent the rest of the day trying not to think about the date. I kept trying not to plan it out in my head like some lovesick teenager...and I failed completely.

I wanted everything to be perfect. Not fancy perfect or show-off perfect. Just... her perfect.

So I called in a favor with Mario, an old friend from years ago who ran a small Italian place in the city.

"Six o'clock," Mario said on the phone. "I close the place for you. Just you and the girl."

  • Vengeance of the Fallen Heir: From Cell to CEO   CHAPTER 111

    ~ETHAN WILDER~Alina picked up the black box and activated the hologram puzzle. Turns out that only her fingerpirnt can actually activate it. If I held the black box nothing happened. I assumed the retina shot I had experienced the last time was to unlock the first part of the box where the hologram was hidden. To turn on the image again, Alina’s right fingers were required.It was starting to make sense now. The message the masked people had given to Alina was starting to make sense. The black box was here because of me but I couldn't work it out alone. I needed her.I watched her as she peered inquisitively at the puzzle and pushed out her lips thoughtfully. On our way back from we had dinner at a seafood restaurant and as we ate, my thoughts drifted towards the talk of marriage I had with Simeon. I allowed myself to imagine what it would be like if I committed to spend the rest of my life with her. I couldn't picture any other future because despite I hadn't popped the question, I

    ~VINCENZO~“I don't know what to do. I miss him very much.” Renata released a sigh and rested her head on the table, her long dark hair fell around her in depressing waves, covering her arms. She released another sad sigh.We were cousins but I cherished her as my little sister. We were all boys in the family, my mother was the only feminine touch even though she passed out of a failing heart, I always believed that raising seven boys who constantly knocked heads with each other played a major role in her death. In fact, it had to be the main reason she developed a failing heart. Many times she lamented that she wished she at least had three daughters out of us seven.No, my mother wasn't a single mother. She had a husband, our biological dad, who played very little in nurturing us or being half as active as he was in his work. My mother got diagnosed of a failing heart when I was shy of bfing sixteen and died a month after I turned sixteen.As busy as my father was, he was so grief

    ~ETHAN WILDER~Since the doctor didn't seem interested in letting Simeon go so earlier than he advised, we all decided to watch the footage together at the hospital. Sinclair, Alina, Simeon and myself. It was my first time watching it and Alina’s too but Sinclair had asked for the USB to make a copy. I assumed he has watched it but he was here with us anyway.We started with the one marked with the date when Damian had gone missing. It had started like the usual day, Damian had woken up early, made coffee, checked his kitchen and made a list, probably a list of things he needed to buy. Then he got his phone and Sinclair cleared that up. It was that time Damian had called to tell him what he needed but he didn't make mention of going into town. After that, Damian walked towards the back that led to the garden to tend to his potatoes.“I saw some footprints in the garden when I was here to inspect the place.” Simeon commented with a nod of his head. The video confirmed a part of his the

    JULIAN VANCESomething about silence can feel louder than noise. It's the kind that sits with you. Presses. Waits.That was what filled my car as I drove. My fingers tapping once against the steering wheel before stilling again.Sarah hadn’t called.Not when she landed.Not after.Just one message.I’m in Italy.That was it.No explanation. No discussion. No courtesy of looping me in like we both agreed we would.I exhaled through my nose slowly, tightening my grip on the wheel for a second before forcing myself to relax it.I understood.At least, I was supposed to.Sean was her brother. She didn’t need permission from anyone else.But understanding something didn’t make it any less irritating.Didn’t make it sit any better.My jaw ticked faintly as I turned into the entrance of the parking garage, the tires rolling over concrete with a dull crunch.She didn’t even try.That was the part that bothered me.Not the trip.Not even the secrecy.But the fact that she didn’t think she need

    ~SARAH BENNETT ~Julian didn’t bother with greetings.“You went to Italy.” His voice didn’t sound too happy, I could picture his displeased face as he said that.I leaned back on one arm, dressed in my underwear and sitting on my bed while the other hand pressed my phone against my ear.“I did.”Silence filled the receiver, a stretch so long that I was tempted to confirm if he was still on the phone.“That wasn’t the plan.” He said, bitter and annoyed.I smiled faintly, in spite of Julian “Plans change.”“You didn’t inform me.”“And you don’t inform me every time you take steps of your own.” I replied calmly. “We’ve never operated that way.”His exhale came through the line, sharp but controlled. “Sarah, you’re taking matters into your own hands.”Now it was my turn to frown. I put the phone in front of me and frowned at it as if Julian could see me before returning to my ear and giving my response. “I appreciate your concern Julian but let me remind you that it is my brother we’re ta

    ~ETHAN WILDER~Alina arrived with the food warm as promised and as I watched her baby Simon under his protest, I wondered if I should tell him about the compartment behind the oval mirror.“I have to go.” I announced. “I'll come by later.”“You don't have to sir, I'll manage.” Simron said.I turned to Alina, thanked her and told her I'd meet her at home before leaving the hospital. My intention was to return to Damian's house and finish what I started. And I did.Back at the safehouse, I looked everywhere for where the key could be. I checked the bed, underneath the bed, the drawers, his wardrobe, his clothes and found nothing. I decided to check the kitchen. There were groceries, cans of beer, cartons of juice and milk, a few bottles of alcohol and packs of bottled water. I checked each kitchen drawer and cabinet but the key wasn't there either.I was panting by the time I slowed down and accepted I wasn't going to find the key. Calling Sinclair crossed my mind. He might not know ab

She tasted like the wine we just had and I couldn’t get enough.I’

    ~ETHAN WILDER~The smell of a hospital wasn’t just bleach and antiseptic; it had also been the smell of sickness and the desperate prayer against death. Even now, twenty years later, it hadn’t changed.I had probably been six or seven years old, sitting in a plastic chair that had felt too big for

    ~ALINA JOHNSON~The door opened with a slow creaking sound. I walked in slowly, heels dangling from my fingers. Everything was as it was after the police arrived. My furniture upturned and messy, broken glass and ceramics. I stared at my large TV. It cost a lot yet it was still here. What could th

    ~ALINA JOHNSON~ The ride back to the office was longer that's usual l. Maybe it was because the car was suffocating. All she wanted at the moment was to be alone. Phoenix Empire's building loomed into view and as soon as the car came to a stop, I didn't wait for Burly to open the door for me as u
