Ethan frowned. "You must be tired, Catelyn," he said, increasing his speed."I'm not Ethan; you don't take things seriously with me." She said sternly, causing a chuckle to escape Ethan's lips.He pulled the car over and turned to her; he had a stern expression, one that interrupted how serious he was at the moment. "How do you want me to take anything you say from henceforth seriously?" He paused, raising his left brow."When you have just asked that I coerce Rosanna into aborting her baby?""How insecure can you be?" Ethan asked; with the manner by which he spoke, he demanded an answer.Catelyn leaned closer to him, not willing to give in to anything he said, "You might trust Rosanna, but I don't! Can't you see she's trying to stay in your orbit?""There's nothing to see, Catelyn!" He said, opening his own side of the car before walking towards Catelyn's side,He opened the door, holding the door out for her before muttering underneath his breath, "Come, we're here," he said.Cately

Elia smiled, trying to keep her gaze elsewhere. "I think that's quite obvious," she said.She was quite impressed by his charisma, but there was nothing here right now that he hadn't seen before."How am I doing?" Xavier asked, wanting to know if he was able to woo her."Not bad," she muttered.As they moved slowly, following the rhythm of the music until it was almost time for the music to stop playing."..." Elia quickly turned the second she started to hear loud noises from outside. Before she could blink her eyes, the rooftopsuddenly opened, revealing a transparent rooftop where you could see what's outside from where you stand."Fireworks?" Elia scoffed, narrowing her eyes."Just gaze at them a little longer; I'm sure you'll fancy them in 30 seconds," Xavier whispered, causing Elia to almost giggle at his words, but she maintained composure.The room was dark, and the light that was focused towards their direction was suddenly dimmed."Be..." The small group of people that was in

Xavier smiled, reaching his hand forward to shake Harrison. "It was nice to meet you here, Mr. Harrison. Are you perhaps in any way related to the Martinez family?" Xavier asked, wondering why the man was at the table."I'm not related to the Martinez family; I work for them," he informed, causing Xavier to raise his left brow, confused.He had to connect a few dots, realizing that Mr. Harrison's family history has not been traced to any rich person and people have not really looked into him that much.Now, it all fell into place in Xavier's head. "That's shocking news, but I guess the late Mr. Martinez is a man of many surprises." Ethan smiled. "Speaking of my father and surprises, I must guess that you must have gotten a surprise yourself." Xavier nodded, reaching into his pockets for some cards."I hope you all are ready to come with me to have a proper dinner?" He said, causing Ethan to arch his brows, confused."I have booked a place for us to go to have a good dinner," Xavier

"You're so busy that you didn't even know I visited the hospital to run a checkupon myself," she said. Ethan stood still, not taking a step back or forward. "I was sick, Ethan, and no one in the goddamn house even noticed it.""How far gone are you?" Ethan asked, "You can't even look at me to ask the question," Catelyn laughed. "How far gone are you?" He asked again, causing Catelyn to sigh before responding."3 weeks." It had just been three weeks since they got back from their honeymoon. Ethan didn't know exactly how he felt about the news, but he was certain that this could be used as a weakness against him."You're not happy; I can see it." Catelyn muttered,She took a few steps close to Ethan and leaned closer to whisper in his ear."Do you wish you had married Rosanna instead of me?"Ethan's gaze darkened. "I'll send the stylist that I had booked upstairs to do your makeupand hair, but you'd be using your room for that." He informed, attempting to leave like he didn't hear C

"How do you know him?" Ethan asked, furrowing his brows.Although Elia has been in what he'd call a castle for years now, she seems to know more than what he knows."Has he told you his name yet?" She asked,"He didn't directly tell me his name," Ethan responded, causing Elia to scoff."It's almost like he doesn't have a name. He has gone by multiple surnames over the years and had even gone by Martinez at some point," she informed, causing Ethan to walk towards the couch to sit, knowing this was a conversation he'd want to have."What do you know about him?" Ethan asked, trying to get to know what Elia already knows."Well, I know very little about him, and I'm surprised that you don't know anything about him yet. Dad wrote about him in his journal, and let me guess, you've been too busy to read it." She asked, and Ethan shook his head in response."No, I've not been too busy to read it." "I have a few things to get in line, but I'm still going through it at night, and I'm yet to ge

Rosanna walked into the room; she wasn't dressed in formal attire; rather, she was dressed in a fine pink knee-length dress."I was told my grandmother was here earlier," she said, causing Ethan to nod."She came to inform me that you have decided to keep the baby." Ethan said as he signed off on the document he had been going through for some minutes now,"Yes. Unfortunately, the family doctor informed her that I was pregnant, and she forbade me from aborting the child.""Unfortunately?" Ethan asked, unsure that it was bad news for Rosanna. "Yes, I wanted to keep it to myself until I know what I want to do." She said, causing Ethan to sigh, abandoning everything he was going to gaze at her."Well, now you know, and I've already contacted a house agent. There's this property that has been on my mind lately; I'll get it, and later today, you could go with Lilian to go and check up on the place." Ethan paused for emphasis."I'm sorry, Lilian, but you might have to stop going to the off
