Ethan Sterling stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie with a sense of unease that he couldn't quite shake. Today, he was getting married, and as the significance of the day weighed on him, his thoughts drifted back to the past.
High school had been a time of awkwardness and vulnerability for Ethan. He had been a naive young boy, constantly subjected to the taunts and bullying of his peers. But amidst the challenges of those years, one person had always stood by his side, a girl whose kindness had left an indelible mark on his heart.
As he looked at his reflection, Ethan couldn't help but remember that particular girl from his high school days. She had been a source of solace and support during some of the toughest moments of his life. He recalled how she had often come to his rescue, offering a helping hand when he needed it most.
Their paths had diverged after high school, and they had lost touch over the years. But Ethan still carried the memory of their last encounter vividly in his mind. It had been during their graduation ceremony, a bittersweet moment of parting ways.
On that day, as they had stood among their fellow graduates, he had made a promise to her—a promise that had lingered in his heart all these years. "When I grow up," he had vowed, his voice filled with determination, "I will become very strong and rich so that I can buy you anything and also be able to protect you."
The words had been sincere, a heartfelt pledge made in a moment of genuine gratitude and friendship. But as the years had passed, Ethan had become a successful business tycoon, amassing wealth and power, yet never forgetting the promise he had made as a young boy.
Now, on the day of his marriage, Ethan couldn't help but wonder if she remembered him as Ethan Sterling, the boy she had once helped and stood by because that time he was answering Ethan Dante . It was a question that tugged at his heart, filling him with a sense of nostalgia and anticipation as he embarked on this new chapter of his life.
