Rosanna turned to Belen and said, "Let's go." They walked past Selena and Ethan, making their way to the table where Mrs. Darnell sat."Don't mind them," Selena said, shifting her gaze to Ethan. "I didn't. I have other things to pay more attention to, Selena." He responded with his hands crossed.Meanwhile, Elia and Mr. Darnell stood discussing, "My brother will not be pleased with your plan, Mr. Darnell. I don't think he wants to influence himself with women or anything like marriage now," Elia said.With what happened outside with Daniel and Rosanna, Elia assumed that he would swear off women."I think you should continue with your previous plan; you can't just change your mind because you've seen a way to expand your empire forever through Ethan," Elia added."I will continue with our initial plan on one condition," Mr. Darnell said, causing Elia to arch her brows, asking,"You want to revoke our agreement and make the contract with Ethan?" She asked,"No. That's not what I plan

The next day, Ethan got ready and climbed down to the sitting room. The previous night after Lorenzo said he wanted to have a meeting with Ethan, Ethan was curious to know what he wanted to talk about this time because, for some reason, the connections of his contract with Mr. Darnell and the business he had with Lorenzo were very slim."Come over tomorrow morning, but we'll strictly discuss business; I have a lot of things to do tomorrow," he said over the phone last night.So now, Ethan was expecting Lorenzo in his home anytime soon. "What got you on your toes?" Cersei asked, causing Ethan to furrow his eyes, her question sounding a little weird."Considering the heartbreakyou had to endure yesterday, I was certain that you'd spend more time in bed." She paused. "The whole town is talking about the engagement, Ethan; staying home today would be better," she advised, causing Ethan to narrow his eyes, finding every single word she said funny."Let the whole town talk, Cersei; is the n

Ethan and Lorenzo got back to Ethan's estate; they shook hands, and then Lorenzo and Marilyn left the mansion."So what's this whole business about?" Cersei asked, arching her brows,"When the time is right, you'll know, Cersei," he responded, causing Cersei to furrow her brows."But Elia knows about it, right?" She inquired but got no response from Ethan.She scoffed, "I know she knows about it. She's your biological sister, right? I know that, but that doesn't mean you should stop trusting me," she said, trying to keep up with his pace."She told you to let me handle the business in France so that I won't be in the country, and you did!" She rushed to get to Ethan's front before he opened the door of his room."What's this business about Ethan? I could be of help," she said, but Ethan narrowed his eyes and sighed."When I need your help, Cersei, I'll let you know, but right now, I need to work," he said and gestured for her to move aside.Cersei growled and clutched her fingers tigh

The next day.Ethan left for the office, There, Elia was already waiting for him with some news.Unlike the past few days when paparazzi camped at the front of his company every time he came to work, today was different, "I think the plan you had to dismiss the rumors Dana started worked," Elia said as she received him from the front door.Ethan smirked, "It hasn't even worked yet; soon, you'll see." Elia turned to Ethan, seeing the look on his face, she could tell that he had other plans on his mind. She didn't bother to ask because she knew he wouldn't respond.Just then, Ethan's phone rang. "Hello," he answered."Ethan, your restaurant. It's burning!!!" Lilian said over the phone, causing Ethan's eyes to turn sharp; he swiftly turned to the door and briskly walked out of the company.Curiously, Elia trailed behind him, "Where are you going?" She asked.Ethan got into his car, still on the call with Lilian. "I'm on my way, Lilian," he said."On your way to where, Ethan? Where are y

Ethan turned to Selena; he noticed the look on her face and sighed before caressing Carissa’s shoulder. He said, “Your mommy is here, honey; just get ready, and soon, you’ll see her.” He paused and turned to Selena. “But since your mom is not here right now, you can say hi to Aunty Selena,” he said, causing Carissa to nod faintly before turning to Selena.“Hi, Aunty Selena,” she said, her words breaking. “Hi, honey, I got something for you,” she said and reached into her purse. She took out a pack of chocolates and gave it to Carissa.“What of my own? Aunty Selena, did you get anything for me?” Winston asked,“Oh honey, there’s plenty more for you,” Selena said and reached into her purse again. She took out another chocolate and said, “Don’t worry, my babies, after your birthday, I’m going to take both of you out,” she said, and Winston jumped in excitement, but Carissa didn’t look very happy about it.“Whats wrong baby?” Selena asked, noticing the look on her face.“I don’t want your
