"He's my son; what do you suggest I do with him?" Alexander asked, causing a sly smile to form on Brandon's lips.He enjoys a good game of question and answer. "I don't think it's up to you anymore, Alex. I told you before, if your son happens to turn his back on us, I'll take him out myself," Bran said, emptying his glass of wine before getting to his feet."I suspect that you're getting too old to draft a good plan. I'll be taking my leave now so you can catch your flight. Meanwhile, I have a strategy." Brandon said, "What strategy?" Alexander asked, arching his brows,"You'll see." Bran responded before heading out of the room.Brandon got back to his estate; he sat in his car for a while, gazing at his steering wheel, but his view of it was blurry. He reached for his cigarettes in his cup holder and placed one between his lips. Brandon felt numb, sitting in that car. It wasn't a foreign feeling; what seemed foreign to Bran was happiness. He had felt it once when his father was a

"What is the need for them? I'm safe." Rosanna muttered causing Ethan to frown at her words."You're safe now, but you don't know how long you'd be safe for," he said. "Ethan... I think you're overthinking this thing. No one knows about the baby yet, although it'll soon surface, and if you want, I can beg my grandmother to keep it a secret until I give birth, although I doubt that because she has already informed close relatives." Rosanna said, but Ethan didn't care if people knew or not.He didn't underestimate the Guardo family, but he knew they were no match for him.After dropping the call with Rosanna, he dialed Antonio's number. "Antonio, I haven't gotten a report from you about the Nelson group!" He said, "I know, and I have a suspicion at the moment, but until it's been confirmed, I do not plan on bothering you with it," Antonio said, causing Ethan to arch his brows, asking,"And what suspicion is that?" "Lately, I've been keeping tabs on your wife, and I discovered that sh

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
