Origin of Ethan Bettler

Ethan Bettler was born in Zürich, Switzerland, in a spacious house with low ceilings and a garden full of lilacs, located at Freigutstrasse 12, 8002 Zürich. His parents, Marianne and Tobias Bettler, were warm and traditional people, the kind who believed that courtesy and gratitude opened every door.

Their home always smelled of freshly baked bread, fresh paint, and classical music. From a young age, Ethan dreamed of studying Visual Arts, something his parents, though concerned, supported with a smile.

—“You’re a dreamer, son, but dreamers change the world,” his mother used to say, gently stroking his hair.

—“And if they don’t change it, at least they make it pretty,” added his father, prompting a soft laugh from both.

At 21, Ethan applied for a scholarship at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, one of the most prestigious and expensive universities in the country. He had worked hard, submitting flawless projects, and when the acceptance letter arrived, his parents cried as if he were leaving for another planet.

At the airport, his mother hugged him tightly, and his father, pretending to be firm, adjusted the collar of his jacket.

—“Take care, son. Don’t let the city eat you up,” said Tobias in a deep voice.

—“And eat well, please. Don’t forget to have breakfast,” added Marianne, wiping away her tears.

Ethan smiled tenderly.

—“I promise to write to you every week... and Mom, don’t worry, I don’t plan to become famous just yet.”

They both laughed, and with one last hug, Ethan set off for his new life.

Los Angeles was everything Zürich was not: noisy, fast, and full of lights. The first weeks left him dazzled... and exhausted. Despite his scholarship and the money his parents sent, he could barely cover his expenses. He ate twice a day, sometimes once, and began working part-time as a waiter in a small restaurant in Echo Park.

The fatigue was constant, but he didn’t complain. Until one night, while clearing a table at the end of his shift, fate walked in on high heels and expensive perfume.

A woman with dark hair and a million-dollar smile stopped in front of him. Impeccable suit, curious gaze.

—“Wow, looks like this place is too small for you,” she joked, resting her elbow on the counter.

Ethan flinched, clumsily wiping the glass in his hand.

—“Pardon?”

—"Your shoes,” she said with a mischievous smile, “look like they survived a war. With that face, you should be making a lot more money, darling.”

He let out a nervous laugh.

—“Honest work, I guess.”

—“Oh, I don’t doubt that,” she replied, adjusting her glasses, “but there are... more entertaining jobs.”

She pulled out a card and slid it across the counter with an elegant motion.

—“I run a place called The Crimson Boys. It’s a kind of bar... or host club, if you want to call it that. You just need to talk, smile, and act flirty. If at any moment you feel uncomfortable, you can leave. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Ethan looked at her as if she had just offered him madness.

—“I don’t think this is for me.”

—“That’s what all the handsome ones say,” she replied with an enigmatic smile, “think about it, Bettler. With that face, you’d earn far more than you think.”

And with that, NiniBom Webster turned and left the restaurant, leaving behind a scent of jasmine and mystery.

The following days were a mental tug-of-war. Between classes, hunger, and bills, the card she had left on his desk seemed to glow brighter every night. Until one day, without further thought, he decided to go.

The place was in Downtown Los Angeles, in an exclusive and luxurious area near skyscrapers, boutique hotels, and streets lined with designer stores.

Address: 1125 Crimson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

From the corner, he could already see the illuminated sign: “The Crimson Boys,” an elegant club with red lights and golden details. Outside, a line of beautifully dressed women waited their turn.

Inside, the atmosphere was almost unreal: crimson velvet, crystal glasses, soft laughter, and five boys who knew exactly the effect they caused.

—“So you changed your mind,” said NiniBom as she saw him enter, with a triumphant smile.

Ethan nodded, somewhat embarrassed.

—“Exactly how much... do they pay?”

—“Since you’re new, one hundred dollars an hour. Three thousand a week as a base salary, plus tips. As you advance, you’ll earn more,” she replied with a wink.

Ethan almost choked on his saliva.

—“One hundred... dollars an hour?”

—“Are you in or not?” she asked, extending her hand.

He looked at her, took a deep breath, and smiled.

—“I suppose... it’s worth trying.”

And that’s how his new life began.

Today, two years later, Ethan Bettler still works there, having become one of the most requested hosts at the club. He lives in a modern apartment at 9200 Wilshire Blvd, Penthouse 12, Beverly Hills, with a view of the entire city.

Neither his friends, his parents, nor his professors know where he works.

Only NiniBom.

And the secret between them remains part of its charm.
