Ethan turned to Cersei, contemplating what to do. "I think Catelyn is right." Cersei said, causing Ethan to nod before saying,"Yes, but I'll call him to hear what he has to say. Besides, you don't know what he went to do in his father's house for sure."He went to his room with Catelyn and dismissed Cersei, saying, "We will eat and talk during dinner. Now, I believe I need some time to put a few things in order." The second he was left with his thoughts, He started to do some work on his laptop. The news was everywhere in the country about him being Martinez's heir.Ethan was not surprised; he knew exactly how news traveled very fast in the country. "What are you going to do now?" Catelyn asked after ending a call with her father."What did your father say?" Ethan inquired, ignoring her question."He's being assumed by the members of a men's group that he's in that he knew all along about your identity." Catelyn responded, swallowing hard because her father said a lot of things tha

Catelyn got to the room and met Ethan in the same position where she left him last night."You should eat now. Do you need me to ask the staff to bring your food here?" She inquired, but Ethan shook his head in response."But you have something." She said, looking worried.If she recalled correctly, Ethan had nothing for breakfast and had nothing on the plane on their way back home."I will. Just a few more minutes," Ethan said without taking his eyes off his laptop."Okay," Catelyn said, letting out a sigh.She walked back to the bed and sat there for a few minutes. Soon, Ethan got up from the chair and yawned; he was tired but would not admit to it."Will you have dinner now?" Catelyn asked."After my meeting with Cersei." He responded and left the room.Catelyn was worried; she walked towards the vanity in the mirror and packed her hair into the vanity before rushing to the couch where Ethan sat to see if she'd get a glimpse of what he had spent the last few hours doing, but unfort

Cersei was quiet for a while. She wanted to ask Ethan a few more questions, but she knew asking him more questions about his personal life would be annoying.She decided to stay out of it and listen to what he says.Ethan soon got a response from Xavier while he was having a conversation with Cersei about the company."Where's the venue of the meeting?" Ethan read out loud."Where do you want it to be?" Cersei inquired, feeling relieved because Xavier agreed to meet, and that gave her the hope that probably he hadn't joined with his father yet."I want it to be here! Stepping out of the house now would inform people of my presence, and it'll take even less time for the whole country to find out because news like that travels like wildfire," Ethan muttered before typing his response on his phone."The meeting will be held by 9 tomorrow morning... here in this mansion." Ethan informed Cersei of his decision before finally leaving her room, as he believed he had a thousand and one things

Ethan drove out of the estate to his company. Lillian was first to welcome him on first sight. "Tell me about the progress this company has been making over the past few days of my absence." He said, causing Lillian to nod."If I'm being honest, there have been some ups and downs, sir," she said, frightened by what Ethan's reaction would be."I hope everyone is already in the meeting room." Ethan said as he walked into the board meeting room.After his conversation earlier with Xavier when he went to his study room, he informed Lilian through his laptop that she should arrange for the members of the board to get ready for the meeting, and Lilian did just that.Fortunately, on his arrival to the company, every single thing was already in order; even the members of the board were waiting for him."I want to know about the progress this company has been making over my absence." He said, sitting on the chair for the head of the meeting."Although the market has been bad, sir, we've made a

"It's nothing." Rosanna responded.Ethan didn't just want to believe it was nothing but was strict on not letting any outside business take his time. On this same note, he still couldn't help but press the question further."Are you sure? You don't seem comfortable," he said, nonchalantly.Rosanna adjusted a bit on the chair; her feelings for Ethan were still raw. It felt like he just pushed her away, and she could still go back to him."It was hard for them to accept, but I'm doing great now." She lied. Ethan could see through her, but before he could ask any further questions, he was interrupted by a text."Everything is ready for the meeting. He'd be expecting you by 9 am." Rosanna read the text as well and asked,"Who's this meeting with?" "A man you know." He responded."Eric would be my first guess but who goes to have a meeting with a man he plans to put out of business," Rosanna said and Ethan was quiet, he had a smirk on his face causing her to immediately snap at him,"Don'
