The table turned quiet, and Mr. White tried to laugh over what Bran had said: "A good businessmanalways has friends." Bran smiled, but it quickly faded. "Oh, here she comes..." Mr. White said, pointing at his daughter, Hannah, "Gentleman, meet my daughter Hannah." Mr. White said, smiling at her.Hannah had a few similar facial features as her father. Her straight blonde hair fell just above her shoulder, and her clear fair skin tone had no skin irritation."She's beautiful." One of the men commented,"My nephew would....""Aaa ah-choo," Mr. White coughed, interrupting his friend's sentence.He turned to Bran and smiled. "Hannah, meet Brandon; he's the owner of Martell Empire," he introduced."I've heard so much about you, Brandon Martell; it's a pleasure that I can finally put a face to the name." She smiled."You have a beautiful daughter, Mr. White; she's as fair as the fantasy character—Snow White." Bran complimented, causing Hannah's cheeks to immediately turn. "But unfortunate

While Ethan walked with Mr. White towards the table, he tried looking around to see if his target was in the room with them."Gentlemen, meet Mr. Brandon Martell. I'm sure some of you must have encountered him before," Mr. White said, but Bran doubted it, as most of his business affairs are handled by his assistant. He hated making a face in meetings."Please sit." Mr. White said after they exchanged a few formalities."But Mr. White had informed us that you would be present. I hope you don't mind if I say that I'm not in the mood for business at the moment." Said one of the men at the table,"Gentlemen, I didn't come here to discuss business; besides, the offer I had made you five days ago has been occupied." I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait to discuss business over a cup of wine," Xavier said.The men felt important, probably because they've been in business for a long time and think he's too young to handle his father's affair."I hear that you're still unmarried, Martell." One of th

"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
