Ethan got to his car. On his way to Rings Hotel, he stopped by a pun shop. He had known the man who owned it for half a decade.

"Ethan Ford, I haven't seen for a long time now." The old man said.

"I'm here for a ring, the pointy one." He informed them, causing the old man to immediately walk to the door and change the board that read "Open" to "Closed."

He brought down all the window blinds before shifting his gaze back to Ethan, asking, "You know what it'll cost you?"

"I do. I have the money." Ethan responded, causing the old man to nod before walking back to the counter. He made his way to a hidden door in the shop that was covered with books and was soon out with a box.

"Here... and this is the antidote." He responded, causing Ethan to nod.

After paying the old man, he left the shop, and this time he headed straight to Rings Hotel without making any other stops.

On getting there, he marched up the stairs and through the hallway until he stood in front of room 136.

He paused for a s

    The auctioneer was stunned; an item he found no value in was in such high demand that the guests were ready to bid half a million dollars for it."500,000 dollars... Going for 500,000 dollars..." The auctioneer said, causing Bran to turn to the silver-eyed young man, smirking and raising his brows to see if he could beat that price."1 million dollars!" the silver-eyed man declared, his words striking Bran like a blow. At first, Bran's face turned pale, but then a lurking smirk spread broadly across his lips."2 million dollars!" Bran announced, causing tension in the room. Bran rubbed his palm; this only seemed like one of his games to him.He arched his brows, waiting for the next bid the silver-eyed man would place.Hearing nothing from him, he chuckled, but the smile on his face immediately disappeared the second his ears fell on, "10 million dollars!""20 million dollars," he declared immediately before the hammer fell, signaling that it had been sold."30 million dollars!"

    At Martell's mansion, Bran was prepared to leave his mansion.The chauffeur was already standing by the door of his cyber truck, ready to open the door for Bran when he marched out of the door, while the old man was standing by the door. Inside the mansion, Bran emptied his coffee cup and took one last glance at his reflection in the mirror. He smirked, ready to spend as much money as required to get the item that the old man claimed to be very important.He left his room and walked through the terrace; the old man bowed and followed behind until they got to the car.The chauffeur opened the door for Bran, then the old man joined him in the back seat before the door was shut."Are we set to go, sir?" The chauffeur asked."Yes." Bran responded; he texted Daniel asking if he had gotten any update from the men on the road to the warehouse."I don't think he has seen the conversation we made, sir." Daniel responded, assuming that if Ethan had seen it, the warehouse would be the first pla

    Ethan walked out of the house with a smug smile on his face. Cersei made sure to follow him until he got to his car."Don't you think you should at least go with some security?" She inquired."Go back inside, Cersei; I don't want you getting kidnapped again." He paused, shifting his gaze to her. "I mean it, Cersei." He added and drove off, leaving Cersei disorganized.Catelyn, who stood by the door, seemed a bit worried. She took out her phone and rushed inside before Cersei could see her standing there.On getting to her room, she dialed her father's number. "Pumpkin." Mr. Guardo said, answering the call."Dad, I think something is wrong!" She said."What's wrong?" He inquired."Cersei just got back to the house...""That sounds like good news." Mr. Guardo cut in."It's good news, Dad, but... I think there's something with her and Ethan." He informed."Then this is a good opportunity for you to get closer to your husband; be there when he's vulnerable. You shouldn't be on this call.

    Meanwhile, at the Martell Mansion, Brandon woke up early to turn off his alarm clock before it could start buzzing in the room.He had his bath and was soon ready to head out when he heard a knock on his door."Come in," he said, adjusting his watch on his wrist. The old man, his late father's advisor, walked into the room. Bran turned to gaze at him. Seeing the look on his face, he could tell that all was not well. "What's wrong?" He asked nonchalantly."Cersei is no longer in our custody, and your agent is dead." The old man informed. Bran seemed unbothered by the news."When did this happen?" Bran inquired, picking up the brush from his table—he brushed his hair backward."It happened yesterday before dusk.""Why am I just hearing it?" Bran asked. He would have very much liked it if it happened today."The other man you hired fled the second he saw Ethan. Just Martha remained; she didn't have any access to a phone, so he got here really late last night and had no one to open for h

    "Why is he helping Ethan?" She inquired, confused whether she should be happy or not."I don't know. He's not a loyal lad." Daniel responded before walking towards the corner of the room.He brought out a rope and gag."What are you doing? If Ethan gets here and finds me in ropes, believe me when I tell you that you might not live to see another minute," she warned, but Ethan was not concerned."Why do you think we had Henry do the job? Why do you think we let Henry know the room you were taken to? When do we have other trustworthy men in our reach?" Daniel asked."It would all be suspicious if we didn't play our role well, so we didn't let Henry know of the plan. We didn't let him know that he was part of the plan." Daniel added, causing Cersei to arch her brows, asking,"What plan?""To distract Ethan." He responded, pushing her to the bed,"Why?" She asked, trying to push him away."You better coordinate yourself if you don't want me to knock you out." He threatened, but Cersei did

    Cersei was sure that whoeverDaniel's master was, he wouldn't have the guts to put her in a cage."What did these women do to him?" She asked,"I don't know. Probably if you get to speak with him. You could waste the minutes asking what the women did to him," Daniel said before gesturing that it was time for them to leave the room."Will I get to speak with him? When will that be? Today?" She inquired."You ask too many questions for your reputation," Daniel said."I asked too many questions to be able to have that reputation effortlessly." She responded, gazing directly into his eyes."None of that would matter here." Dabile said, leading her back into her room.Meanwhile, outside the building, Ethan moved with Henry through the back. "Careful there, if you're not careful, believe me... You would be caught." Henry warned.Ethan threw a glare at him and said, "Next time anyone gives you an order that is against the name Ethan Ford, come to me and I'll give you double of what they offer
