Later that day, while Ethan was in the office, he called Dora and asked her to set aside some time for him on the following day. As it wasn"t the way things were normally done, Dora couldn"t believe her ears. "What is this all about," she wondered."Stephen is coming back," Ethan replied, "so it would be in everyone"s interest if we had a face-to-face conversation for once. I need to talk to him,"
At first, Dora had thought that Ethan had wanted to start a relationship with her, so she was disappointed, but she decided to let go of it and try another way to capture his attention. She would still get to have dinner with him, and she planned to cherish every moment that they were together. She knew Ethan treated her like the most important person in his life. She couldn"t wait the day they"ll be together.
Once they were done talking, Dora Hilton hung up the phone and immediately contacted the beauty salon for facial care. She wanted to look beautiful in Ethan"s eyes.

Kylie was just getting dressed after having a shower when her phone rang. She checked the caller ID, saw that it was Faith, and picked up the phone.
She answered it immediately, "h.e.l.lo," and asked what the matter was. Much to her surprise though, it wasn"t Faith who answered the phone though. It was Ken.
Ken chuckled and said, "If you want to see Faith alive ever again, you will drop what you are doing and come directly to my old warehouse. Do not let anybody know where you are going if you value her life. Is it clear?"
"Ken White," Kylie shouted, "I warn you, if you touch even a single strand of her hair, I"ll never forgive you. I will send you to h.e.l.l!" Having said that, Kylie hung up the phone, got dressed, and rushed out. She can"t let any single moment pa.s.s without doing something for Faith.
Kylie arrived at the old warehouse in less than 20 minutes. As soon as she walked through the door, she shouted Faith"s name twice. She was just about to call again when she heard Faith quietly call out her name immediately.
As Kylie walked in the direction of Faith"s voice, she saw Faith and Ken sitting face to face at a round table. In the middle of the table, there was a bowl filled with grapes. Ken pointed to one of two empty chairs and said, "Sit down."
Kylie was too angry to sit or take orders from this devil who keeps bothering her life. Instead, she gritted her teeth and rushed to him. She had just about reached him when one of Ken"s henchmen grabbed her from behind her.
Ken looked at Kylie and pointed to one of the empty chairs and said, "Sit down. Didn"t you hear me, Kylie?"
She had no other choice but to obey him. He pointed to Faith and said, "This b.i.t.c.h actually dared to sleep with me. Does she have a death wish?"
"Have you no shame?" Kylie shouted, "She should have thrown you to the river to drown, lest you should put the blame on your victim, as you are now doing – and besides, it takes two to tangle, you dumb f.u.c.k!"
Ken scowled, turned back to Faith, and said, "Peel me a few more grapes. If you dare to leave even a smidgen of skin, you will regret it!"
Faith gave Kylie a look and, with tears in her eyes, she began to peel the grapes. Every time she finished peeling one, she would hand feed it to Ken. She fed him one grape, then another, but, as he chewed the third, he spat it out on the floor. He frowned, leaned forward, and slapped Faith hard across the face. After that, he grabbed her hair, pulled her face close to his, and mashed a handful of grapes on her face.
All the while, he began shouting: "I told you I didn"t like skin on my grapes! I told you! Did you understand me? You would regret it! How dare you disobey or defy me!"
Faith sobbed and tried her best to pull away, but Ken was just too strong. Grape juice rolled down and mingled with her tears. Feeling empowered suddenly, Kylie rushed past the two henchmen and jumped towards Faith, pointing at Ken, she shouted, "You sc.u.m! I will kill you today,"
Ken ignored Kylie and let go of Faith, threw her back into her chair, and took a tissue to wipe his hands. As he looked at Faith, he smiled and said, "If you want to live, once I let you go, you won"t tell anyone about what we are doing here or the fact that we had s.e.x. If you do, your life will be considerably shortened."
Faith nodded and said, "I understand, but please let me go…"
Kylie looked at Ken curiously and said, "Why are you so keen on preventing people from knowing that the two of you had s.e.x? Was your performance that bad?"
Ken"s face turned red, and he said, "Don"t be r.e.t.a.r.ded."
"It sounds like my guess was right," Kylie mocked him. "You don"t deserve a girl like Faith. You"re trash! She must have been drunk when she slept with you!"
Faith looked down at her hands and said, "It is as you have suggested. I wish that I could go back in time and take it back. I am so embarra.s.sed…"
Kylie frowned and asked Ken why he"d forced her to come to the warehouse. In response, Ken looked to his guards and said, "Take the fat pig out to the parking lot and keep an eye on her. Kylie and I need to talk privately."
"Faith is like my sister," Kylie said. "So have the right to hear whatever you want to say to me, you can voice it out in front of her. I will tell her later, anyway."
"Fine," Ken snapped. "She can stay if that"s what you want," He sneered at Kylie.
