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

    "The warehouse that was burnt... I want you to go over there and supervise the work." He paused, walking towards where Cersei sat and sitting on the desk, facing her."This business that I have with Payne, I would be using that warehouse for it. "Considering that it was burnt down, I suspect that when it's done, I could store a few illegal items there," Ethan said, causing Cersei to sit upright, asking,"What kind of illegal items?"Ethan smirked, taking a moment to respond before muttering, "Powder!""The actual hell, Ethan? That would draw the police's attention to you." Cersei muttered, totally against the thought of it."Are you saying this because you're scared or purely because you really don't want me to do business with that man?" Ethan asked, causing Cersei to swallow hard, narrowing her eyes before admitting to it."Well, you're right. He's dangerous, and who knows. This could be a trap," she said."I know. It's quite obvious, but don't worry, I've got a plan." Ethan informe

    "What license?" Payne asked, wondering how Ethan knew he could issue a license."I want to start an importation of ammunition." He informed them, causing Payne to furrow his brows, looking like he was in total disapproval of it."And I don't just want to be importing them, but I know that you have connections with the British government. I want my ammunition to be delivered to them, and I know you could get me that connection." Ethan added, causing Payne to push his chair back, getting to his feet before saying,"The British government already has people that deliver ammunition to them. They don't need another merchant, and besides, don't you only deal in drinks?" And refined liquids?" Payne asked, causing Ethan to chuckle softly before saying,"I've bought another company, and I want to expand my business." He paused, puffing the smoke from the cigar down his throat before exhaling it slowly. "You said earlier that you wanted to help me expand my business. Well, this is an opportuni

    "I didn't think you'd agree to have a meeting with me, Mr. Martinez," Payne said, walking closer to Ethan's desk as he straightened the tie on his neck,"Do you drink whiskey?" Ethan inquired, getting to his feet before walking towards the wine cabinet in his office,"What do you drink? Irish or Scotch?" He inquired."Scotch," Payne responded causing Ethan to nod before getting his hand on the bottle of Scotch whiskey in his cabinet.He took the bottle with him along with two glass cups before pouring whiskey into Payne's cup,"Why did you contact my CEO?" Ethan asked the second he had his butt back on his chair,"I wanted to discuss business." Payne responded,"And what business is that?" "I heard you transport wine to countries in Asia and I was planning on helping you expand that." Payne informed before emptying his cup of whiskey."In return for what?" Ethan inquired, sternly before sipping from his own glass of whiskey."In return something simple, that you could easily give me.

    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

    "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
