Chapter 162
By morning, Ethan was already ready to take the private jet.As he opened the door of his room, he came face-to-face with Harrison, who was about to knock."You're ready. Great! The jet is already waiting at the rooftop!" Harrison informed."This early?" Ethan arched his brows; he had thought they'd have a quick meeting with Elia this morning because he had requested to see their father's artifact and old books."Where's my sister?" Ethan inquired before Harrison could respond."She's in her room," Harrison responded.Ethan immediately turned towards the stairs and marched upstairs. Harrison trailed behind him until they got to the door of the room.Ethan knocked and slowly pushed the door open without waiting to get a response from her.Elia was dressed; she had a few things packed into her bag and two books on her bed. They had a similar cover to the one he took to his room las night to read."As for artifacts. The ones here need to remain here to be safe; these books will be helpfu

In every single word that Elia had said, Ethan could not object. She was right; she was ready to make sacrifices like a bloody martyr."You should think about this, Elia. This should be an era that we should bask in our reunion and not...""What reunion, brother! Getting married wouldn't mean anything to someone who thought I've been dead. Let's get it over with and move to the next step because everything you're doing now could be a waste with our family heirloom." She said.Ethan was no longer surprised by her knowledge. She must have been reading books, Martinez's journal, historical books, and the like for her to be acquainted with this kind of knowledge."I'll have a meeting with Xavier as soon as I get back to town tomorrow. You'll have to follow me home, Elia, because I solely believe that I have been followed here by someone trying to know my whereabouts. After I'm home, they'll want to know why I came here... You have securities, strong ones I believe; bring them with you." H

Ethan sighed; he took a few steps closer to her and took her hand. "Elia, I still see this as a dream." He paused and reached for her face. "It's not a dream, Ethan. The body that was found was that of the chef's daughter. Unfortunately, the little girl was at the house the day this happened." Elia informed quietly."I've been waiting for you, Ethan. I've been waiting for you to come so that we could talk, so that we could catch up for old times." She paused, swallowing hard, and took his hand " placed the journal on it before walking towards the food.Gazing at the tray of food, she said, "Come, let's eat. I know you're famished. We better eat now; the food is still hot."Ethan turned to her; with the journal in his hand, he briskly walked towards where she sat. "Didn't you think I was dead?" He asked before he picked up any cutlery."I wasn't sure. The news said only I, Father, and Mother were assassinated in the house. No man mentioned seeing your body. Some had thought you burnt

Ethan was confused; he couldn't comprehend anything. "WHO ARE YOU??????" He asked, frowning."From what I'm guessing... you already know who I am?" She muttered, leaving Ethan completely speechless."Who are you?" Ethan asked again, enraged.Elias smiled at him and walked towards her vanity. It was about 40 steps away from where they stood."Father would have relished this moment. I'm sure, but unfortunately. He would have loved to see his boy dance to the songs of his enemies." She laughed.Ethan dipped his hand into his pocket and took out the picture that he folded with the piece of paper that had the address of this place in it.He unfolded the picture and gazed at the little girl before gazing at the girl in front of him.The same hair color, but she has longer hair now and a finer skin tone."How?" Ethan asked."You're not the only one that survived the assassination!" She muttered calmly as she took out a bunch of pictures from the drawer."I'm certain you'd want to see a few p

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
