Alexander walked out of the dining room, leaving Trevor and Xavier alone.

They both glared at each other until Trevor decided to leave the dining room first.

Xavier scoffed, almost kicking the chair next to him because he was furious.

He recalled that he hadn't taken his drugs before leaving the house. Letting out a sigh, he went to his car and checked his personal small space where he kept most things for emergencies.

Unfortunately, he only had one of the pills, which could probably sustain him until daybreak.

Ethan popped it down his throat, locked his car, and went back into the mansion. "This better be over before 9:30 tomorrow," he thought.

On his way to his old room in the house, he paused the second his eyes fell on the wide balcony just down the hall.

He didn't bother going into his room again; instead, he walked to the balcony, stood there for a little while, and stared into the city.

The view was nice; one couldn't deny it.

As Xavier stood there, lost in his own thoughts,

    Ethan nodded; he got to his feet. He knew all of this was risky, being in the house of someone who he didn't know.He had confidence in his skill and has observed the people he has seen. One way or the other, if it ever led to combat, Ethan believed that he'd be able to match their strength and skill.Harrison smiled at him as he exited the room and shut the door behind him.They climbed the stairs again until they got to the fourth floor. Ethan had the urge to ask Harrison who his boss is again for the 1001st time, but unfortunately he decided to give it a rest and go into the room himself to see her.Harrison knocked, and in less than 5 seconds, the door opened automatically."Everything here is controlled from the room. My boss has a remote for the door and every other thing." Harrison informed as they walked into the room.The room was nearly the size of a three-bedroom apartment. There was both a kitchen and a toilet and everything that one could think of in it. "Has she ever lef

    "Sir, I cannot say anything to you. You have to come with me." The butler was insistent, but Ethan was not ready to hear him out.Instead, he took a few steps to the luxurious chair in the sitting room and sat there, crossing his left leg over his right leg."You'll have to call your boss to receive his guest in the sitting room." He informed, causing the butler to turn to one of the staff behind him.It was surprising how the staff were putting on suits; the lady on the right had black pants and a white long sleeve with the jacket placed over the long-sleeve shirt.While the staff was standing by the left, she had the same outfit on, but instead of black pants, she wore a black skirt.As soon as the butler turned to the lady in skirts, she left even without the butler saying a single word.She headed upstairs, causing Ethan to smirk, knowing that she must have probably gone to inform her boss that he has refused to come up.The butler kept his eyes on Ethan with a mischievous smile o

    At Secret Corporation, Ethan still had a pile of emails waiting for him when Lilian walked into the office."Sir. There's a meeting in 10 minutes." Lilian informed him, causing Ethan to push his chair back, saying, "I want you to handle it! Call me if there's anything important!" "I'm heading out." He informed us before leaving the office.He got to his chair and took out the note again.Not planning to waste any time, he decided to go and check out the place.He booked a flight to Boston, but unfortunately all the flights to Boston for today were already booked. Ethan tried to find another way, but it was almost impossible. He drove home, and it was already getting late. "Welcome. You're right in time for dinner." Cersei said, sounding so sweet."Thank you!" Ethan said, calmly. She escorted him to the room and said, "I had one of the servants make sure that your favorite meal was prepared." "I don't have a favorite meal!" Ethan said, not meaning to sound rude when Catelyn narrow

    At Secret Company, Ethan got back to his office and wasn't surprised to see Cersei still in his office, but she wasn't in the same position he left her in.Instead, she was by the glass walls of the company, gazing at the city. She turned to me the second she heard the door open. "Come and join me." She said.Believing he had very little choice to object, he walked towards her and stood right beside her. "Do you see the city?" She asked."Yes, I see the city through this glass every day!" He informed her, causing Cersei to nod."I've been staring at it from this angle for minutes now, and all I see is peace. No chaos! No matter how closely I try to look, I still see peace. Every single person seems to be minding their business," she said."It's serene." Ethan commented. "I wish the world were truly like that. Peaceful with no conflict," she said, turning to face him."Why do we fight ourselves? Why do we fight for things that don't really matter? Why are people greedy?" She asked,

    Dana went quiet, having a lot to say but unable to open her mouth to speak. She eventually ended the call and threw her phone to the far end of the chair.She tried to get to her feet but ended up remaining on the floor. Ring. Ring. Her phone couldn't stop buzzing after she ended the call with Eric. Apparently, he cared to call back."What is it?" She asked abruptly, wiping the tears that welled up in her eyes.If there was something that she desperately didn't want, it was for Eric to know that she was in tears."You sent Ethan that video! Probably we would have still been a couple today!" She said, unable to hold in her words. She needed someone to blame her misfortune on. "You sent Ethan the video and made sure he watched every second of it.""I don't force him to view my surprise package for him." Eric said, sounding naughty."If you hadn't made that mistake. I would have been a princess in all of this chaos." She said, causing Eric to burst into laughter."Do you mean to say w

    At the meeting with Dana and her lawyer, Ethan shifted his gaze from Dana to Lilian, signaling her to hand the original documents to Dana's lawyer.Without hesitation, Lilian passed the documents to the lawyer, who went through them and gazed at Dana, making sure she was staring back at him before he nodded, saying,"This was exactly what we bargained for.""Okay." Dana responded, taking the documents from her lawyer.For some reason, Lilain gazed at her surprised; she couldn't help but wonder if Dana was drugged or something, but the price at which Ethan is buying the company would barely even be enough to start up any kind of business, much lessa company.After she signed the agreement, Ethan did the same thing too and smiled, "Thank you for honoring our invitation." He said and got to his feet, about to leave when Dana stopped him by holding his hand, saying,"I want us to talk, Ethan."Ethan paused and gazed down at her hand, arching his brows."What do we have to talk about?" "I
