Episode-01

CITY A,

"Where are you, Ethan? We all are waiting here for you." Jordan, Ethan's one of his closest friends, asked him.

''Corridor'' Ethan said shortly.

"Good. Come, we have opened good wines for us to enjoy" Jordan said and hung up. "Hey, Isaiah, Ethan is coming. Ask these girls to leave now, or he won't step in this room", Jordan said to his friend, who was leaning his head back on the sofa with one woman on his left and one on his right.

"Hm. Get out now and ask the guard out to come with sanitiser spray," Isaiah said.

.

Ethan holding his coat in his hand, walked slowly towards the room when he suddenly stopped hearing a familiar voice coming from the next corner.

"You are hugging and kissing me here. Don't you fear that Ethan will know and will get over with you," David said, kissing Diana's neck while roaming his hand all over her body.

Diana holds his hair and digs his head deeper into her neck, "That's his business, and he has been a good dog all these years for me. He won't say or do anything. Even if he saw or heard something, he'd just say his old lecture,'' Diana said, unbuttoning David's shirt.

Ethan stood there behind the wall hearing their conversation.

"It's his good luck that I have not yet him aside and I am willing to let him be around me"

"You are something, Diana. He has been taking care of you and your life for 5 years but still couldn't find a place in your life"

Diana laughed after kissing his lips and cupping his face, "He has nothing aside from little money and his face that doesn't disgust me"

"Sure. You are still the boss" David said and started kissing her all over her body.

Soon, the corridor of the club was filled with sexual gasps and sounds despite the sound. It was particularly clear to Ethan who clenched his fist and jaw tightly with his eyes red.

He has been looking after Diana and taking care of her day-to-day needs, providing her with everything she wants and defending her when someone provokes her but now what?

All his indulgence and carefulness turned out to be a dog's behaviour in her eyes. He can't put his finger as to why she can't be with him.

.

BANG

Jordan and Isaiah looked at the door that was opened with a kick, a strong kick and Ethan walked in before sitting on the empty couch and drinking from the bottle only without saying anything.

"What happened to him?" Isaiah leaned towards Jordan and whispered, looking at Ethan, who came banging on the door and started gulping the wine from the bottle.

"I am not sure but I can guess. It is related to that woman out there. She is the reason most of the time for his bad mood," Jordan said, looking at the dark face of his friend, a little helplessly.

He has been telling Ethan to not be so indulgent towards Diana. Anyone can see that she doesn't give a damn about him, always use him and leaves no chance to take advantage of him before ultimately insulting him but only this blockhead doesn't stop or change his ways?

He'll stop after running into a wall. Jordan thought and sipped his wine, looking at his friend.

Isaiah scooted close to Ethan, sitting beside him, slowly saying, "Hey, don't find me noisy but did you see Diana making out with her boyfriend David while coming here?" This sentence successfully hits the nail on Ethan's head, and Isaiah gets a glare from him.

"Don't misunderstand me. I went to the bathroom not long ago and saw them being honky-ponky with each other!! Yuck! They don't even mind the smell of the bathroom. They sure are impatient, or did you freeze her credit card, and she has no way to rent a room?"

Jordan smacked his shoulder, hushing this big mouth from ruining things.

"What do you two think of my situation?" Ethan finally opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse, deep voice. The reluctance to talk was visible on his face and body language.

Jordan and Isaiah exchange looks with each other before looking at Ethan in sync.

"I know you are very grateful for her help at that time, but this should not be the right way to repay someone. You are a good man who wants to repay good with gratitude, and you have been good to her for five years, but... I don't think she deserves your immense patience and understanding. Since day one, she has been taking advantage of you; she has no motive for her life; she is wild and parties every night with her wild friends. She was even arrested twice, and you helped her out, but where was her gratitude?"

"Furthermore, you need to be clear about one thing: her helping you was something you should be grateful about, but just express your gratefulness when she is in trouble. You don't have to be on her call, clear her mess behind her, and let her treat you as some second-generation rich son with lots of money. You have your life. You need to think about yourself now."

Isaiah listened to everything, and after looking at Ethan's not-so-dark and angry face, he also coughed and said his opinion.

"If you think from another side, it's good that she takes Ethan as some second-generation rich boy with no job and just a handsome face, or we don't know how long she'll leech onto him if she knows. Then, Ethan, you'd be pestered by someone like her for the rest of your life. Missing out on a good virtuous wife."

Ethan gulped down the last drop of whiskey, got up from the couch, took his coat and rested it on his shoulder before walking away.

Jordan and Isaiah also got up and followed him out to the parking lot.

"Hey, isn't he Ethan?" David looked at Ethan getting into the car and said to Diana.

Diana looked but did not say anything or walk up to him.

"He must be having a party with his friends," She said and sat on David's lap.

"Don't you fear that he'll stop financing you?" David asked.

"He won't. It's been five years and it's not like we have any relationship. It's all from his side so he should have seen it beforehand. The one who gives in first is bound to lose"

.

Jade Garden,

Ethan got out of his car and strode inside the mansion. All the servants and housekeepers have already gone to sleep. There was darkness from the living room to the upstairs. No one is here.

Ethan walked to his room and turned on the light before sitting on the floor against the bed while looking at his phone.

It's not like he is some kind of lovesick man who doesn't know what's right or wrong. Although Diana saved him twice and one time she almost lost her life, her character is also not that good. She has no aim, and her family conditions are good; they are always worried about her, but she refuses to listen to anyone, indulging in nightclubs and gangs.

He just wanted to be with the girl who saved him and fought against others when he was in danger; he just didn't know how the girl, from his impression, who was bold and courageous, changed into someone like today.

After being dazed for a long time, Ethan raises his phone and drops a message in Daina's inbox.

【Let's get married tomorrow. I will be waiting for you at 9 AM.】

This is the last chance I am giving to you and to myself also. After this....I don't own you anything. Not even my life.
