Everyone sat in different chairs. "I want us to claim Guardo company in Ethan's name," Lorenzo said, causing Cersei to chuckle softly."And what makes you think that Ethan doesn't already have plans for that?" She inquired but got no response."Answer me," Cersei murmured but Dana just narrowed her eyes."You know, I really didn't want her to be here, Lorenzo, but you insisted and now she's acting like she's the boss of this," Dana complained, causing Cersei to chuckle softly, surprised that Dana had the audacity to say those words."Who's the boss? You? You're so hilarious! The second you understand that you're just a pawn in all of this, the better for you because why the hell will anyone want to include you in something?" she said, causing Dana to clutch her hands tightly.She felt completely offended by Cersei's words but she closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down."I won't waste my breath on you. I won't bother trying to convince you that before you can do anything to Catel

Cersei got to the airport and instantly caught sight of Selena. "I'm so sorry, honey. I'm sorry that Ethan couldn't make it," Cersei said, giving her a hug."What's he doing?" She asked, arching her brows.Cersei was quiet for a while; she didn't know exactly what to say or what excuse she could give. "Ethan is not himself right now, and honestly, I think he needs someone by himself. He's not well," Cheese said, sounding so worried."What do you mean? Is something wrong?" She inquired."Get in the car so that we can go." She said and walked towards the driver's seat.After they both got into the car, Cersei drove off. "Guess who I saw on my business trip," she said, causing Cersei to quickly glance at her before shifting her gaze back to the road."Oh really," Cersei murmured. She wasn't really surprised, but for some reason, she just pretended like she was."Yeah. She was nice," Selena murmured."It was the first time I've seen her in person, and I'm certain you had no idea who I was

Selena chuckled softly at her sister's words. She didn't know what to say, but she was certain that she wasn't ready to leave the room."Just come home, sister. Trust me, you'll have enough of this man when you both are married, and with the company's loaf and all, you won't have time for me, so don't you just come with me so that we can have a getaway together?" Kelly asked, but Selena didn't want to. She understood Kelly's point clearly but she wanted to stay behind. "i don't know. Why don't you let me think about it?" She inquired and Kelly responded, saying,"Alright, think about it but please, get back to me, sister, so I would know how to beg dad for it." After that, Kelly ended the call.Selena was alone in the room and for some reason, she thought about what Kelly said."She's right. Soon, I'll be married, and when am I going to have time for myself? When I'm dead, I can't even have a moment to enjoy anything to myself," she murmured.She walked towards the vanity in the roo

"What's so bad with having a family feast?" Selena asked, causing Daniel to narrow his eyes."I should have known that you'd side with Dad." She murmured, causing Selena to respond with a nod."Well, I like the idea of it. We haven't sat down as a family for a while now, and this could heal if there's any wound in the family," Selena said, smiling."Ethan isn't attending, right?" Daniel asked,He gazed at Ethan with eyes filled with disgust before adding, "Being married to Selena doesn't change his name to Darnell." Ethan just threw his gaze away from Ethan back to Selena before placing a gentle kiss at the back of her palm."You're right. It doesn't, but he's my husband, and he'll attend the meeting," Selena said.Just then, Mrs. Darnell walked into the room and turned to Daniel. "Bring your wife here as well. Tell her to come; I want her to be 3 hours early because the women of the family are going to cook the meal together. We can use it as an opportunity to bond," she said, causi

"I don't think I need to ask more questions," Ethan said sternly, crossing his legs like he had all the time for this conversation. "If you come here thinking that I'm snitching, then you have to go, Ethan. I can't have a man that doesn't trust me be in the same roof with me," Elia said, sitting up. "Who's talking about trust now?" He asked, arching his brows "I know you have a lot of comments to make, Elia. I know you; I know you're hiding something and you think you can solve everything but you should tell me what's going on because I hate the secrecy," He said. Elia chuckled dryly; one funny thing was how Ethan's words were different from his facial expression—he still seemed so calm. "It's funny how you feel choked by your own medicine." She smiled and got to her feet. "Come with me, brother. I should show you something," she said. It took Ethan a moment before he got to his feet, then he followed Elia upstairs. "You know... Ethan, what you do is take up some responsibilitie
