Chapter - 27
◾◾
The truth of Crypt International
◾◾
Ethan Ellsworth
◾◾
Power is everything. It's an essential part of the person who deals with certain shady people or even organizations. When you are born to a family, you shoulder not only the legacy, name, and culture but the ugliest and shadiest secrets that it has succeeded to escape to and from.
I would have never confirmed it anyway if it hadn't been for my Stepmother Grace. If she had and an ounce of 'grace' at all, neither Nicole nor I had to suffer. Seeing the circumstances I had been put in the past, I try hard to forgive Grace believing my father must have made her what she is now. Just like what I have become because of them.
And however you try to fly above the shady things, you will only manage to float in the water. That too if you get lucky.
Crypt International.
I sigh. I didn't think I would come across the name ever again. All this time I tried hard to hide my secrets from the world and mostly from Angel, now she herself is in the threshold to that.
When I landed in Paris almost 20 hours ago, I just imaged myself talking to Angel in her private suite. Instead, I had to find the suite in havoc. Everything was thrashed.
I close my eyes and remember the deal I made next.
The room was almost upside down. Enough with the cat chase, I decided to crush Remiraz and his allies.
"Ethan Ellsworth." I look behind. The man with a full moon smile stands before me followed by three bodyguards. I know him. He is the right hand of Fucking Ryan Remiraz and his crime partner.
" Where is Angelina? If this is all charade to hide her from me, I am happy to announce the war."
He steps towards me and says, "We both are the victims here. Someone took her from both of our hands. "
"I want to meet Ryan Remiraz," I say as I look around for Angels stuff. I find a key chain that she wears all the time. I keep it safe in my pocket.
"Of course. But I have a deal for you." I look at him with curiosity.
"My sources tell me you have some inner details about us which if goes public will affect our image. I just wish to make sure that our secrets are well preserved in you."
I remember all the murders and plotting. The truth about heredity and clauses.
"How can we do that?" He poses.
"I expect the total break of the relationship and communication between Ryan and Angel, at present and in the future. Its assurance will make me forget whatever I have learned about you all. But the foundation of the breakage of relationship should be strong. Just as the deal breaks, I will find myself remembering everything all over again." I say.
"Do not worry, Mr. Ellsworth. I am as motivated as you are about this alliance. Angelina's moral ground will always conflict with our interests. And I cannot afford that for a king of England to bear that. The foundation of breaking the alliance will be so much strength for both sides." He assures me.
"How about I tell Angel about Ryan. That will do it." I give him an evil smirk.
He returns me the smile.
