"We have a report, sir, and it's soon going on the news, but we need to confirm a statement from you first," she said, causing Ethan to scoff.At first, he was taken aback but then turned from her and proceeded to the entrance of the building."Sir, I only need a few minutes of your time." She said.Ethan didn't pay attention to her; he got into the building and caught sight of Lilian walking out of the elevator."How did the reporter know I was coming?" He inquired,"I don't know, sir. She's been here since yesterday, and we've tried to keep her out of this property." Ethan narrowed his eyes, walking towards the elevator while Lilian trailed behind him.They got upstairs to a big office, one reserved for Ethan. "Find out why that girl is standing there. She mentioned something about my divorce with Catelyn; I want to know more of the news she claimed to have heard," Ethan said, firmly."Okay, sir. I will." She responded, stretching her hand forward as she handed some documents to Et

"Midnight report?" Ethan asked, surprised as he quickly glanced at his time."Wow... Past 12..." He muttered,"What? Where are you?" Cersei asked, sensing he wasn't home."I'm at the office. "What did you see, and why are you watching US midnight news instead of watching French news? You could get some ideas from here on how to run the business in your hands," he said, rubbing his eyes.He took the coffee cup to the coffee machine in his office, but unfortunately, something was wrong with it, and he couldn't brew his coffee."Well, who knows if anyone else gets kidnapped and you decide not to tell me. US news will!" He informed."No one will get kidnapped, Cersei. I've got everything in control.""You've got everything in control, Ethan, and yet there's news about your divorce and how unfair it is to the Guardo family," Cersei said, furiously.Before she left the country, she wanted everything to be under control, and now, just after some days of her departure, there's a mess already

"You asked me to come over," Belen repeated, winking at Rosanna to play along.Deciding to help him, she laughed. "Oh... I forgot... I was really stressed yesterday," she said.Meanwhile, Ethan sat at the table, eating his food quietly. "I'm certain you made these noodles, Rosanna. The aroma is divine," Belen said, salivating."I remember when you used to make this at home," he added, still salivating."Yeah, and you would criticize it." "You and Grandma," Rosanna uttered, causing Belen's eyes to immediately widen as he stood upright. He didn't want Ethan to bar him from benefits he could receive because of how he used to treat Rosanna, so he tried to cover it up with a laugh."That was only because we wanted you to get better at cooking it, and I'm glad you did. If it wasn't for our criticism, if anything was too much, I'm sure the carrots would be more than the meat, but look how generous you were with the protein." He muttered, licking his lips.Ethan smirked, still eating; he reac

"I insist." Daniel said, but Rosanna still refused. "I can't get my drink myself....""I didn't say you can't," Daniel cut in.Rosanna gazed at him for a few seconds before giving in."Alright," she said."Great," Daniel said.Rosanna chose a drink, and within seconds, it was served."Danny..." A blonde-haired girl walked over to where they sat."Rose." He responded without turning to her."Why don't you take me over to your table today, and then we can have fun later?" She said, placing her hands on Daniel's shoulder,"Fuck off, Rose." He said, calmly. Rosanna almost chuckled because of how polite he sounded—his actions immediately reminded her of Ethan.He hardly raised his voice, yet he could hurt you with his words and still sound polite."Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" She asked."I'm sure," he responded.She gazed at Rosanna and glared at her before walking away. A few girls also walked towards Daniel, despite seeing him with another girl, but he dismissed them."I ha

Rosanna left the kitchen and went upstairs to her room. She carefully placed the fancy glass bowl by her window. The bowl looked more like a flower verse than an actual bowl for kitchen use. "Well... Maybe you've been sitting peacefully in the kitchen to serve me." She laughed as she placed the flower in it, and it went in perfectly. "Now this is a beauty." She said and strolled back to her bed for her phone. She wasn't excited about the flowers; rather, she felt good because she was still desired by men. After Ethan left her to marry Catelyn, it went wide on the news because her grandmother had bragged about her daughter having an affair with the mysterious boss of a secret company. People mocked the Milma family when the Guardo family made the marriage between their daughter and Ethan known; it was a huge slap in their face. Ever since then, Rosanna had barely put herself out because the criticism of their family was too much. The only place Rosanna went to after that was the
