    <i>Ethan </i><i>POV</i><i>: </i>


    After the meeting with Jameson, Ethan headed back to his hotel. Something was going on between Jameson and ra, he obviously wasn’t aware of all she’d aplished over the past two years like finding a possible cure for themon cold. More importantly, he couldn’t have been aware about the breakthrough she made regarding a medication that kills cancer cells without the need of radiation and without causing stress to the human body.


    Ethan Taylor was the second oldest child of four; an older brother and two younger sisters. His parents, Joseph and A Taylor had been married for over 30 years always disying the epitome of love and grace. His father was the chairman of NovaTech; a global Techwarepany that specialized in nano technology. His brother Corey was currently the president and being poised to be CEO. Joseph’s original n was to have both sons take over the family business, however, after his youngest sister Maria got diagnosed with Leukemia, Ethan took a special interest in biochemistry.


    By age 21, Ethan founded ETP, which quickly became one of the world’s top global biochemic and pharmaceutical corporations. This was mostly due to him figuring out how to incorporate nano technology into surgery. Over the past two years, he managed to build a biochemical empire, still, with all of his genius, he hadn’t found a cure to cancer. During his school and college years, he’d studied many of the biochemical greats, however, it wasn’t until he started reading the thesis and equation marks from Caroline Rouleau, that he felt he may have a chance to break that code. After he graduated Osha, he spent endless nights looking into thetest uing biochemist checking to see if they made breakthroughs.


    He’d been short of disappointment, until he came across ra Rouleau formally Granger. From the moment he saw her he’d instantly recognized her. Though they never met, she was dead ringer for her mother. He spent so many nights reading her research, he could practically see her in his dreams. He’d learned of her genius following her academic career and was highly impressed, but it wasn’t until the end of her freshman year that he was convinced she would be the one that would take medication and medicinal practices to the next level.


    While he was thinking about ra, his assistant Owen walked into his room with a folder filled with documents. Putting his sses on, Ethan reached for the folder. As he read through, his eyes darkened. As expected, Jameson was not a good father to ra. Based on the information Owen gathered, it seemed he preferred his illegitimate child Sophie over her. Throughout the years following her mother’s death he’d be increasingly cruel and often abusive. Owen managed to speak with some of the maids on the estate and they’d all said the same thin Jameson Granger was an incredible father to Sophie and a horrible one to ra. Someth Listen the report however did catch his attention, something he hadn’t expected to see. cing the

    folder on the desk, Ethan had a sinister smile on his face.


    <i>“</i><i>Huh</i><i>, </i><i>looks </i><i>like </i><i>I’ll </i>be <i>able </i><i>to </i><i>work </i><i>with </i><i>Ms. </i><i>Rouleau </i><i>without </i>Jameson <i>after </i>all<i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Owen sat at the desk grabbing the folder.


    <i>“</i>Yes, <i>I </i>was <i>actually </i>quite <i>surprised</i><i>, </i><i>she’s </i><i>transferring </i>out of <i>Lexington </i>for <i>Osha</i>. <i>Considering </i><i>he </i><i>hasn’t </i>been to <i>LexU </i>in <i>over </i>two <i>years</i>; <i>I </i><i>doubt </i>Granger <i>is </i><i>aware</i><i>.</i>”


    Ethan sat in silence for a moment, his wheels turning as a n was forming. Owen looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression.


    <i>“</i>So, <i>I </i><i>guess </i>that means <i>we </i>don’t <i>have </i><i>to </i>go to <i>ridiculous </i><i>g </i><i>tonight</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Ethan smiled at Owen.


    <i>“</i><i>Actually</i><i>, </i><i>I’d </i><i>like </i>to go. It’ll <i>be </i><i>fun </i><i>watching </i><i>Jameson </i>squirm <i>as </i><i>he </i><i>waits </i><i>for </i><i>ra </i>to <i>arrive</i>.<i>” </i>


    Owen’s right eyebrow rose.


    “<i>So</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>really </i><i>think </i><i>she </i><i>won’t </i><i>show </i><i>up </i><i>at </i><i>the </i><i>g</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>


    Ethan gave a light chuckle.


    “<i>Why </i><i>don’t </i><i>we </i><i>make </i><i>a </i><i>friendly </i><i>wager</i><i>?</i>”


    Owen smiled, curious to see how tonight’s events would pan out, he made a phone call to the


    hotel’s luxury clothing store and ordered two suits for him and Ethan.


    <b><i>-ra’s </i></b><b><i>POV</i></b><b>: </b>


    I arrived back at <i>the </i><i>Granger </i>Estate <i>that </i>noon <i>after </i><i>celebrating </i>with Gloria and Casey the night before. I dreaded <i>having </i>to go <i>back</i><i>, </i><i>but </i>I needed <i>to </i>the rest of my mother’s journals. The mineral I needed for my <i>cancer </i><i>medication </i>had <i>finally </i>been created. <i>Over </i>the past two years I’d followed thepany that specializes in <i>medicinal </i><i>minerals </i>and herbs. In my previous life, I was able to use a <i>mineral </i><i>named </i>artasium, <i>when </i><i>paired </i>with the right substance, it had the <i>ability </i>to detect and disintegrate irregr cells <i>without </i>attacking healthy cells. <i>Now </i>was the time to begin creating my cancer medication <i>and </i>I <i>would </i>need <i>my </i><i>mother’s </i>journals to help me.


    As I <i>opened </i>the door, I felt a surge of unease. As I walked in, I noticed no one <i>was </i>in the grand room. <i>Perfect</i><i>. </i><i>Maybe </i>I can grab <i>my </i>things a leave before anyone notices. The time <i>was </i><i>2pm </i><i>when </i>I <i>finished </i><i>packing </i>and <i>I </i>was famished. <i>My </i>n was to head to the hotel and then <i>grab </i>something to

    <i>eat</i>. My flight was set to leave at <i>7pm </i>this evening. Gloria <i>would </i>be picking me <i>up </i>from the airport at 9pm; so, I wanted to make sure <i>I </i><i>would </i>be at <i>the </i><i>airport </i><i>by </i>6pm. <i>As </i>I made <i>my </i><i>way </i>upstairs, <i>I </i>could <i>hear </i>voices <iing </i><i>from </i>the <i>kitchen</i><i>. </i>


    <i>Crap</i><i>. </i>


    <i>Coming </i><i>from </i><i>the </i><i>kitchen </i><i>was </i><i>my </i><i>father </i><i>and </i><i>stepmother</i>. <i>He </i>looked <i>as </i><i>if </i><i>he </i><i>had </i>been <i>fussing </i><i>about </i><i>something</i><i>. </i>As I <i>turned </i><i>to </i><i>leave</i><i>, </i><i>he </i><i>let </i>out a <i>loud </i>scruff.


    <i>“</i><i>ra</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    <i>He </i><i>barked </i><i>my </i><i>name </i><i>with </i><i>grunt </i><i>and </i><i>annoyance</i>, <i>clearly </i><i>he </i>was <i>upset </i>at me. <i>I </i><i>ced </i><i>my </i><i>boxes </i>and <i>bags </i><i>at </i><i>the </i><i>front </i><i>door </i><i>and </i><i>made </i>my way to <i>the </i><i>grand </i><i>room </i>where my <i>father </i><i>was </i>standing, <i>looking </i><i>at </i><i>me </i><i>as </i><i>if </i><i>I’d </i><i>ruined </i><i>his </i><i>day</i>.


    <i>“</i>Just <i>what </i><i>the </i><i>hell </i><i>are </i><i>you </i>bringing into <i>this </i><i>house </i><i>now</i>! We <i>have </i><i>enough </i><i>of </i><i>your </i>junk <i>in </i><i>that </i>


    basement<i>.</i><i>” </i>


    **“I’m not moving anything in father; I just came home to grab a few things. I’ll be taking my leave.“*


    As I turned to leave, he gripped my wrist hard, forcing me to almost stumble.


    “<i>Where </i><i>do </i><i>you </i><i>think </i><i>you’re </i><i>going</i>. <i>The </i><i>school </i><i>year </i><i>is </i><i>now </i><i>over</i><i>. </i><i>You </i><i>should </i><i>be </i><i>moving </i><i>back </i><i>into </i><i>the </i>


    <i>mansion</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    I stared at my father with a confused expression, I hadn’t been home in over two years and not


    once had he asked for me toe home.


    “<i>I’m </i><i>aware </i><i>the </i><i>school </i><i>year </i>is <i>over </i><i>father</i><i>; </i><i>however</i>, <i>I’ve </i><i>been </i><i>staying </i><i>with </i><i>my </i><i>friend</i><i>, </i><i>so </i>I’ll <i>be </i>


    <i>heading </i><i>back </i><i>now</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    My father looked at me with impatience. What the hell was going on?


    <i>“</i>From now on, <i>you’ll </i><i>be staying </i><i>at </i><i>the estate </i><i>during </i><i>all </i><i>school breaks</i>. <i>Take </i><i>your </i><i>junk </i><i>back </i><i>downstairs</i>.”
