They both ogled at the man who heard it all with a cocky smirk on his face.
It's not a new thing for him, hearing someone complimenting him and his killer looks. His well built body and Greek god's face is an epitome of perfection. He grabs the attention of people even without doing anything and that is the main thing which increases his ego. A perfect man with a sack of ego.
He adjusted his black sunglasses and leaned more against his seat, feeling content by the praises. One thing he liked the most is being praised by others. Being the only son of the richest couple he was spoiled to the end. He got everything he wanted without any barrier which made him a spoiled brat, to be precise an arrogant self-obsessed man who doesn't give a damn about others.
The car screeched to a stop as a man who was dressed in all black came running towards it, opening the door as he greeted him.
"Good morning, Boss" he sounded professional. Ethan hummed in response.
"Where is he?" Ethan asked. His voice was dead serious and there was a hint of mischievousness in them.
"On the basement, Boss" his man replied while walking beside him, maintaining a good distance.
"His condition?" Ethan inquired.
"Not dead yet. Our boys did a good job on him and I'm sure he is begging to die" that man replied without any remorse.
"Good to hear," Ethan uttered nonchalantly.
That man pushed open the six feet tall iron door to the basement, grabbing the attention of the half dead man who's tied up in the metal chair. His eyes widened and his hands started to shake like he saw his death in front of him, calling him for afterlife.
A wide smirk appeared on Ethan's face watching the sight. He loves to see fear in people's eyes. He loved the power and position he held, he felt like a king, a sovereign.
"Well look who's here to meet you, dear Lucas?" Ethan asked with his not so soothing voice. The abrasiveness in his voice was evident. Lucas could only look at him with his teary begging eyes.
"Tsk, now you are behaving like a jerk, Lucas. Don't you know how to wish your guests?" He mocked before dragging a chair in front of the tied up man, sitting on it while placing one leg over the other. He leaned back into the chair, cracking his neck muscles as he took off his sunglasses.
"Ple-please leave me sir. I'm sorry. I won't do that again" that man beseech through his hoarse voice. His throat was dry because of the constant screaming and crying.
"Yeah you won't, how will you repeat the same mistake when you are not even alive?" Ethan asked, informing the man about the things he is going to do with him.
"I'm sorry boss I really am. It was a mistake. I was in dire need of money. Please, boss. One time, please forgive me this one time, I swear I'll be loyal to you till my death" his voice was so desperate that showed his desire and want to live.
"Oh boy, you are a big fool to think I'll forgive you. To be honest I don't forgive anyone." He ejaculated. He sounded just like the king who's afraid of nothing, which he is.
"Now any last wish Lucas?" Ethan asked with an innocent smile. But the smile did nothing but taunt Lucas. That sinister smile was a symbol of his win. He's the winner because this world only exists for those who have money and status.
That man sniffed while lowering his gaze. It's confirmed that his life is coming to an end. He is going to seal his death. The man in front of him has no mercy and humanity. He is raised to be an animal and animals know no humanity.
"My mo-mother, please ta-take care of her. I have a br-brother, he is living in abroad. Please tell him to come back and take care of her" that man said while sniffing. His eyes welled with tears as he recalled his beautiful moments with his mother. Her feeding him, scolding him, twisting his ear whenever he did any mistakes, kissing him goodbye and to sleep and everything. He will not see his mother again and the same goes to her. That poor women must be sitting in the balcony waiting for her son's arrival.
He knows he made a big mistake by working with his boss's rival. They offered him a good sum of money and his greedy self accepted it without a second thought. Growing up with a single mother he lived a tough life. They were always short of money. He always wanted a luxurious life and that's why he chose the wrong way and was successful too but the only mistake was... forgetting the Devil. He thought the mission was simple as a piece of cake, just transferring some information and everything was done. His boss won't find anything but who's he fooling.
"That's really emotional. I really sympathize with you, Lucas" Ethan said and rose to his feet. "But don't worry, your wish is granted" he said with a wicked smile. Getting up from his chair he wiped off the imaginary dust from his blazer before walking towards the sofa and plopped on it for a better view of the upcoming show.
"Steven?" He called out and the next second that man was in front of him.
"Yes boss," he replied.
"I want you to kill him in the most painful way. Beat him until no one recognizes his body except his face and then burn his body alive. Everyone should know the price of messing with Ethan Xavier Evans." He muttered, earning a nod from the man.
Lucas smiled through pain, this man is going to kill him and that's sure. He should've known better than to seek mercy from that animal.
Like he said his men started doing their work. They untied Lucas and threw him to the dirty floor. Lucas was too drained to stand up. He raised his head up and smiled painfully when he saw Ethan's men surrounding him with metal rods and weapons in their hands and this time he didn't protest. He didn't 'cause he knows it'll make no impact on the cold hearted man. Hell! That man doesn't even have a heart.
Ethan watched the scene without any expression. He didn't feel any emotions like guilt, pity, sympathy or any other. In fact it gave him a sense of satisfaction, that fear gave him a sense of satisfaction. It made him feel powerful.
Looking down at his watch he sighed when he realized one hour already passed. Clearing his throat he grabbed the attention of everyone in that room.
"How are you feeling now, Lucas?" Ethan asked in his deep authority voice. That man could only cry in pain, the only thing he felt at that time, pain and pain only.
"Now you're being disrespectful! You know I hate it when people disobey me" Ethan said before motioning something with his two fingers which went unnoticed by Lucas.
Ethan was about to say something but his words were cut off by the ring of his phone. With an irritating look he took his phone out from his pants pocket as he looked at the caller ID. Dad, it showed. He rose to his feet and without a word he left that room followed by steven.
"Hello?" He answered, his voice was neither rough nor soft.
"Where are you son?" His dad asked from the other line. Lack of patience was evident.
"I'm on my way Dad. Why do you call?" He queried.
"I want you here within the next 10 minutes. You heard me?" His father asked in his father's tone , making him groan in annoyance.
"Yes dad" with that he cut the call and made his way towards the car which was already waiting for him in front of that forbidden building.
"Steven, clear all this mess by tonight. Make sure no one finds it, especially my mom." He ordered and inside his luxury car.
"And one more thing" Ethan stopped and looked at Steven with a smirk.
"Make sure to parcel his head to his mom in a beautiful box. It'll be fun"
• • • • • •
That's what he is. A merciless beast who loves to make people fear him. The only one who can make him root to his spot is his dad with his scary nature and mom with her sweet personality.
Being twenty-five years old, he is afraid of nothing, not even god, not even death. His life is full of fun, partying, sex, alcohol and blood. They are the things necessary for him to live. But his this side is unknown to the general public. To the people out there he is the perfect young, bachelor, business man, the son of Ella and Xavier Evans.

"Hey dad! You-" his words got halted when he noticed the unfamiliar guests in his home.
"Here you are. Have a seat Ethan." His dad uttered as he patted the seat beside him, beckoning him to sit on it and as his good son he obeyed.
"Son, this is David Black, my business partner and this is his daughter Karina Black." He introduced the guests as he looked at them with a small smile.
"Nice to meet you, Mr Black" Ethan said while shaking his hands with David.
"Oh the pleasure is mine, Ethan. I'm the lucky one to meet the young successful businessman" that man praised him just the way he liked.
He only nods his head as he takes a glass of champagne and that's when his eyes land on the girl who's sitting beside her dad, already looking at him with a heated gaze. He smirked knowing the feeling very well.
"How is your business going Ethan?" David asked while sipping his red wine.
"Great as usual." He said, earning a grin from that old man.
"You are very lucky to have a son like him, Xavier." David said proudly.
"I know David and I'm really proud of my son" his dad said and he was on cloud nine hearing this.
"Well you guys chat, I'll be back after freshin' up" Ethan got up from his seat as he made his way upstairs but not before winking at the girl who was looking at him from the time he entered.

Ethan closed the door to the guest room as he pushed the girl inside, she gasped at the sudden action.
"Karina! what a beautiful name for a beautiful girl" he said while walking sensually towards the girl who was waiting for him to get closer to her.
"Just like yours" she commented and smiled when she saw him smirking.
He slowly circled his arm around her curvy waist as he pulled her closer, crashing her against him. Karina instantly wrapped her arm around his neck, participating equally.
"You are really handsome" she complimented but he just shrugged it off.
"I know" he said while tracing his rough finger pad above her bare back. She was wearing a red bodycon dress with a deep v-neck and a slit in the middle.
She slowly tugged at his hair, trying to pull him for a kiss but he gladly rejected.
"I don't do kiss woman. I just fuck" he said like a matter of fact. Her eyes widened at his straight forward answer.
"Fine with me" she said and give him a seductive smile.
"Bend over that table, naked'' he ordered and like a slave she obeyed him.
Soon he was out of his clothes too, fucking that girl like an alpha in heat. That room got filled with her muffled moans as he gagged her mouth with a silk fabric. He can't take risk as her dad and his parents are outside.
Karina's moans got louder just like the way his pace increased. He slammed into her without any mercy making her go nuts.
"Shhh! quiet women or I'll leave you unfinished" he warned menacingly, his voice got even rougher and harsh because of the heated session.
Karina could only nod her head, she tried her level best to stop her moans because she doesn't want him to stop and with that they came undone. He didn't wait for her as he started to wear his clothes. With difficulty Karina stood up, she looked at him with hope thinking he will take care and help her after going this rough on her.
But Ethan being Ethan without looking at her starts walking towards the door but stopped on his tracks when she called him from behind.
"Where are you going Ethan? Won't you help me?" Came her voice while limping towards him.
He raised his one brow at her demand. Help her? What made her think that he'll help a girl like her? Not only her he doesn't help anyone.
"Why would I ?" He asked making the girl go numb.
"What do you mean by why? Can't you see I'm not well? You have to help me. I'm feeling sore" she talked back, raising her voice a little making him look at her with those emotionless gray eyes but the way his demeanor changed screamed only one thing, danger.
"It's not my fault. You too wanted it and now why are you blaming me like a virgin? When I said I only fuck I meant it. So don't expect anything else from my side. I hope you are satisfied after all what can i expect from a woman like you?" He answered savagely and proceeded to walk out.
And she stood there feeling humiliated and tarnished. No one ever treated her like thats. Her father had always treated her like a princess, and here he was indirectly calling her a whore.
"Fuck you!" Karina screamed. She stared at the black shirt which hugged his musculine back like a second skin. Her eyes were bloodshot because of anger but at the same time tears also engulfed them.
"I don't fuck a woman twice"
