Chapter 168
Vera seemed a little surprised; she was not in shock of his knowledge, but she was in shock of how a man could be unreadable from the very start of their conversation until this point; she wanted to know his plan before she could ask him."So what do you intend to do, Mr. Milma?" Vera asked, arching her brows.Ethan inhales and reaches into his pocket for cigarettes and a lighter. He lights it between his lips and drags some smoke down his lungs before exhaling it out. Ethan had been finding it hard to get through most days. He hates it when he sleeps; most times he gets back on his feet because he believes he still has so much to be done instead of sleeping. While on most days that he falls asleep, he dreams—terrible dreams that are enough to terrify a man from going back to his sleep."Has she decided what she wants to do with the baby yet?" He asked, "Well, realizing that my 5 minutes' time has been expanded, why don't we go for breakfast and discuss it better over tea?" Vera ask
Chapter 167
"What did you just say?" Ethan shifted his complete attention to her."You heard me, brother! I read about one of his troubles. That could not really be the reason because he had a lot of troubles, but that could be part of it." She said.Ethan walked towards where she sat and leaned in, saying, "What do you think killed our father?""Greed." She responded, causing Ethan to burst into laughter before responding."If you really don't have anything to say right now, I'd really advise that you leave and let me think." Ethan said, causing Elia to let out a sigh."Do you sometimes have memories of Father in your sleep or probably during your day, and do you recall something about him?" She asked,"Before? Yes," "Well, I still see his face often in my sleep. Like he wants me to remember what he looked like." She paused, for emphasis."He has these pale eyes, eyes driven by desire, but till those desires were honest, he wanted what he knew he could have, not things he would forcefully acqui
Chapter 166
Cersei shifted her gaze to Ethan before responding, "Eventually they'll know. We could stop wasting time." Ethan smiled, turning to Harrison, "Get it down." He said and pushed his chair back, and standing to his feet, he added, "I have business tonight." Ethan walked out of the dining room and briskly made his way to his car. He drove down the street and took a few turns before stopping at his destination, "Castle Black." "29 seconds." He muttered in a cold breath before reaching into his pocket for his pack of cigarettes and lighter.He lit his cigarette and checked his watch again, watching the seconds tick till hefinally finally got down from the car.Ethan briskly walked into the pub and was immediately directed to the VIP section.There, a man was already sitting on a table—the only table set in the middle of the room."You're on time, Ethan.""What was it that you couldn't say through the phone, Eric? I have less than 5 minutes here." Ethan said sternly, sitting on the chair
Chapter 165
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
Chapter 164
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
