Chapter 6: Just how rich is he?

"I never believe a room like that could be in a club," Regina said as they entered the car. "Do you come to the club often?" She asked with a raised brow. Ethan moved her gaze away from the road and directed it to Regina "That's my club." He replied and focused back on the road. "Oh?"Regina mumbled in a low breath. She never thought the man she slept with was a rich tycoon. Dark Knight Club is the biggest club in the whole city. Only elite people have the opportunity to go there because they only sell expensive wine. Oh. Speaking of that. She remembered she didn't pay for the wine she bought last night. She turned to Ethan with her eyes widened in disbelief "I just remembered now that I didn't pay for the wine I bought last night. Will the bartender think I am a thief? Will he not think I ran away without paying? What if the manager deducted the money from his salary" She said and ran her hands through her hair in frustration. She does that a lot whenever she's confused or angry. Ethan took a side glance at her and couldn't help but chuckle "I think I told you that I am the owner of the club earlier. And I already settled the bill so you have nothing to worry about." Ethan didn't know why he was gentle with this girl. This is not his type of doing things. He is not nice at all. But he has been acting nice to this girl. Is it live at first sight? Heck no. That better be not. Women are decisive. They are not to be trusted. He remembered what Juliette did to him and his heart ached terribly. He loves the girl so much. He showered her with love and attention. Juliette is a materialistic person and loves showing off her wealth. He will make sure he gets her anything she demands. He has never loved anyone the same way he loved Juliette. But what did he get in the end? He caught his wife, cheating on her with one of his employees in their bedroom. He went on a business trip them and came home unexpectedly. He didn't call Juliette to surprise her but he met the shock of his life instead. He closed his eyes when he remembered the painful memory. He could feel anger boiling up within him. He shook his head instantly to shake off the thought. Regina felt the temperature in the car suddenly drop so low and the mood of the man beside her changed all of a sudden. She was sure it was the man who was exuding a chilly aura. That was when she remembered she didn't know what his name was. But she found it hard to even ask him because the aura the man was exuding was really scary. Did she do anything wrong? She doesn't remember doing anything to piss him off. She gulped down the lump in her throat nervously and forced out a smile "Are you okay? Hope everything is fine?" She asked. Furrowing her brow. Her voice was low and it could barely be heard. She was careful with her words so as not to anger the man beside her. She waited for him to reply to her but the man said nothing and only focused his eyes on the road. It was as if he did not hear her but Regina was sure he heard her. Maybe she has been asking too many questions. She will know how to keep shut next time. The car suddenly drives into a mansion. Regina widened her eyes in shock when she saw where they were. This place is big big and beautiful. It looks like a castle. A very big and beautiful castle to be precise. There is a fountain not too far away with beautiful flowers surrounding it. "Wow " She didn't know when she said that loud. Ethan glanced at the girl beside him and moved his eyes away from her instantly. It was as if he didn't look at her at all. A bodyguard walked over to their car and opened the car door for them. Ethan got out of the car and also waited for Regina to alight. But the girl was busy staring at the surroundings through the glass while smiling like a clown. "Get down." Ethan's cold voice rang through the place pulling her out of her thought. Her face turned red instantly in embarrassment. She seems to forget all her worries while staring at the beautiful place. "Oh sorry." She mumbled and also got out of the car. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw different kinds of luxurious cars packed in the garage. This seeks to be the cheapest among them. And tons of bodyguards in black suits with black sunglasses stood at the entrance of the mansion. Their suit alone is tailor-made. Is she in heaven Is she dead? Is this place a paradise? "Let's go." She heard Ethan's voice beside her and she flinched instantly. Ethan didn't even wait for her before walking away. That was when she remembered this was not where she was going. He proposed to take her home but he brought her to a castle instead. "Hey Mister. Wait up." She yelled from behind and ran after him. Ethan stopped in his tracks all of a sudden and turned around swiftly. This caused Regina to bump her nose on his hard chest. "Ouch." She winced in pain and touched her nose. No one needed to tell her before she knew her nose would have turned red by now. She almost scolded Ethan for stopping all of a sudden but she refrained from doing so when she remembered she was the one that told him to stop. "Watch where you are going next time." Ethan scolded her and turned around. Walking away. "How cold " Regina mumbled while glaring at his back. He did not even ask her why she stopped him all of a sudden. She ran after him again and tried to keep up with his pace. She did her best to avoid bumping into him at all costs. She soon catches up with him. She has to be walking faster to be able to keep up with his pace. The mansion was some meters away from the gate. "Mr. What are we doing here and where are we? You said you wanted to take me to my house but you brought me here instead. What is going on?" She questioned. Ethan stopped in his tracks and directed an icy glare at her making Regina shiver instantly. This man is so scary. Everything about him was screaming danger. She gulped down her saliva nervously and tried her best not to show that she was a little scared of him. "This is my house." He replied and Regina widened her eyes in shock. Her eyes scanned the entire place for a moment before she finally settled her gaze back on Ethan. Just how rich is this man? He is so freaking handsome and so rich. She has never come across him in the social circle. Maybe he kept a low profile. But she was really curious about who he was.
