Cersei couldn't object to anything Ethan said. She believed he was taking fast and harsh decisions, but her opinion for the past 1 week didn't seem to matter to Ethan."Okay." She responded and turned to Catelyn. Catelyn sighed, got to her feet and moved closer to Ethan, saying, "Ethan, you need to think this through. Trust me, this could endanger you, me, Cersei, and even your sister.""When did you find out that she was still alive?" Cersei immediately cut in before he could give Catelyn an answer to what she had proposed."I think you need a bottle, Cersei. To get your thinking straight!" He said, pointing to the decanter."I'm thinking straight, Ethan. You're beginning to make dangerous decisions that could endanger you!" She said."What if whatever made you find out your sister was alive was a setup and you went with no security?" She asked, being pessimistic."And now you're thinking like a woman." Ethan laughed."I'm a woman, for crying out loud, Ethan! What the hell am I to d

Ethan didn't take his eyes off Catelyn; he was curious to know what Dana had said."She seemed quite flashy when she came here yesterday. My father told me that her company has been bought by someone..." She paused, trying to see if she'd get any reaction from Ethan."Obviously, my father doesn't know who bought her company." She added, "What did Dana say?" Ethan asked sternly. He was not interested in listening to whatever Catelyn had to say."Well, she insisted on waiting for you to arrive from your travel. She kept on repeating that you both had some unfinished business," Catelyn said, causing Ethan to frown.She waited for a moment to speak before she finally said, "She informed me that I should tell you to see her when you're back so you both could discuss properly." Ethan laughed. "What's funny?" Catelyn asked almost immediately after the laugh escaped his lips. "She's audacious! I'll give her that." Ethan said before drinking from the water that Catelyn had brought for him,

"The Rolls-Royce Phantom" Ethan pointed, spotting the car; it was sitting beautifully next to an Audi A8—one that Ethan would also love to ride, but the Rolls Royce seemed like a better option to him.They got into the car, and Harrison drove straight to Ethan's estate. "You know... I'm undeniably impressed with how you picked up from the ashes of Dad's empire to build what you have now." Elia said as she gazed at the buildings on the street,"I guess so." He muttered, gazing outside the window as well."I'm glad you're alive, Elia, believe me. It warms my soul. It's been the only good news I've heard since the assassination." Ethan said, quietly causing Elia to reach for his hand, grabbing his attention."I know. Soon, every day would be good news." She said.Harrison stopped at the compound, as the car wasn't registered in the security scan yet. "Let me handle it." Ethan said, climbing down from the car before walking towards the scan.The camera scanned his face, and the gate opene

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
