Ethan sat in his office, staring at the wreckage he had caused on his desk. The shattered wood and scattered papers reflected his uncontrollable fury upon learning of Yassmin's kidnapping. His inner demon had almost been unleashed, but Ethan, being a rational being, took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that losing his cool wouldn't help.
He first considered calling Sara for assistance but stopped at the last moment. Though she had learned magic under his tutelage, her knowledge was for her own protection. Sara was still an ordinary secretary, inexperienced in life-and-death situations. Moreover, she hadn't yet witnessed anyone's death, let alone Ethan killing someone. He couldn't involve her in this, not when his goal was to destroy whoever dared to kidnap Yassmin.
