Chapter 129
Serenity's words struck Ethan, he wasn't expecting to hear such words from her, he came running over thinking she was in need of help, not knowing it was because of that good for nothing fool.
his eyes widening in disbelief. "Wait, what?"
he asked, confusion and shock evident in his voice. He leaned forward, gripping the armrests of the chair as he tried to wrap his head around the situation.
"Noah kidnapped me, and now he's at the police station because I escaped and Survived? His family can't get him out unless I'm there? That doesn't make any sense to me."
Serenity nodded, her eyes reflecting a mix of desperation and guilt. She nervously wrung her hands, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Yes, that's true,"
She said, her gaze dropping to the floor.
"But I wouldn't ask you to come here if it was only this, there's more, Ethan."
She took a deep breath, her shoulders sagging as if a heavy burden rested upon them.
"There's more to this."
Hearing Serenity words Ethan's mind raced, trying to piece together what she was going to add to all of these.
He stood up, pacing back and forth as he sought to make sense of it all. "So let me guess, you want me to go with Noah family to the police station?"
He asked, his brow furrowed in concentration.
"Is that what you're asking me to do?"
Serenity remained silent for a moment, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
When she finally spoke, her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan had to strain to catch her words.
"Yes, but there's more. You... you'll have to apologize to Noah. Bow to his parents and apologize as well."
Upon hearing what Serenity just said Ethan's expression darkened, his jaw tightening in anger and disbelief.
"Bow? Apologize?"
He said, his voice rising with each word.
immediately he slammed his fist against the wall, the impact echoing through the room.
"Those are things I would never do, Serenity. Not after what he did to me. He kidnapped me, for crying out loud!"
He paused, a sudden realization dawning on him. He turned to face her, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"Wait, how are you involved in all of this? just because you're engaged to Noah so they decided to use you, right!"
hearing Ethan words Serenity's composure shattered, tears started streaming down her cheeks as she struggled to articulate her feelings. "My family is facing some tough times right now,"
"I can't believe she would ask me to do something like that, and I came running over thinking it was something Serious."
he thought, his mind swirling with disappointment.
As he stepped out of the hospital, Ethan's thoughts were a whirlwind of anger and frustration.
"Who do the Noah family think they are?"
he muttered under his breath, his fists clenching at his sides.
"They may be powerful, but they're nothing compared to the Winston family."
He shook his head, with a bitter laugh escaping him.
"If they knew who I really was, they wouldn't dare ask me to apologize."
Ethan hailed a taxi, his mind still spinning from the day's events.
As he settled into the backseat, he let out a heavy sigh, his head falling back against the headrest.
"What a mess,"
he thought, his eyes closing as he tried to process it all.
Stay tuned to empire
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and his eyes flew open.
"The interior designer,"
he mumbled, realization dawned on him.
"I need to get my house ready for the weekend. My coursemate will be coming to see it."
With a renewed sense of determination, Ethan instructed the taxi driver to take him to the interior designer's office, the man who said he would do it for free. When he arrived, he was shown into the guest waiting area, his foot tapping impatiently as he awaited the man's arrival.
But time was running out.
"Come on, come on,"
he muttered under his breath, glancing at his watch every few seconds.
After what felt like an eternity, the interior designer entered the room, his eyes scanning the room before settling on Ethan.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?"
he asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.
"I don't believe we've met before."
