"Welcome, Dad, welcome, Brandon," Xavier said, inviting them to the dining table.Catelyn shifted her gaze to Ethan; she could tell that this was not good."What is this?" Ethan said, placing both his hands on his thigh,"This is a family reunion, of course. Here is my father, your sworn enemy, and Brandon Martell, your sworn enemy as well." Ethan chuckled dryly, "So you're not to be trusted?""Why are we talking about trust in a family dinner?" Xavier asked, smirking,"Xavier..." Elia called, she too was stunned just like the others."Listen, dear wife, you've told me how your brother willingly gave you up and how you tested him but he left you, sending you to get married," Xavier saif, wanting Elia to be on his side.For the past one month, he has slowly been trying to get Elia to hate Ethan, and Ethan had been making the mission possible."You didn't really think my son would abandon his father just to fight with you?" Mr. Alexander said, arching his brows,"Did you take Cersei?"

1 month later,There's been no sign from Cersei and no call from those who have her captive."Why is Antonio in this meeting?" Xavier asked, frowning.Ethan, Antonio, and Xavier were all in Ethan's office. Since it's been one month since Cersei was kidnapped and still there's been no word from her, Ethan couldn't keep relying on the police and the information he had tried to get."Unfortunately, Xavier, those who have my sister seem to have stronger intel than we do." He paused."Since we've gotten no word from them, I suspect that they have plans that they need time to hatch while I'm here, waiting for you to give me the Martinez heirloom," Ethan said, causing Xavier to chuckle softly."About that, I have good news," Xavier said, smiling sheepishly."Share this information with us, Xavier; we're eager to hear it," Ethan said, looking directly into Xavier's eyes."Well, Elia has a fertile womb. She's pregnant." Xavier said, waiting to get a reaction from Ethan but instead getting a no

Ethan let his guard down. Like it had been down for some time now, although he thought he had been extra vigilant,He took a few steps towards the leader of the gang and reached into his pocket and found the car keys. Surely one of the cars must be missing outside. Ethan suspected that it would be the one that was locked. Before he could ponder on the matter for a significant time, Catelyn's voice interrupted his thoughts: "The police are here." Unknown to her, before the other civilians called the policemen, Ethan had already sent an emergency alert message to the police."We got your report, Mr. Ethan. I'm sorry we couldn't get to you on time. We'll appreciate if you speak with our detective over there as we inspect the scene." Said one of the policemen,"Hello, Mr. Ethan, my name is Detective...""Speak to the spectators or my wife over there; they were all here to witness," Ethan said before walking out through the door. He briskly walked towards the car, and surprisingly, both c

"Who are you, and who sent you?" Xavier said, acting though, pretending like he was not frightened by their weapon."Do you have so many enemies that you do not know who would send men to your wedding?" The leader of the gang asked,As they talked, Ethan was trying to find another alternative for a weapon because if perhaps by chance they needed to get out of here, they'd need to fight their way out because Antonio and his boys had been handled."Well, how else will I know that people are scared of my progress so much that they sent men to my wedding day? I mean, it's hilarious," Xavier laughed, causing most of the spectators to frown, terrified, wondering if this was a matter to joke around with."Please, if you have a problem with the groom, let the rest of us go." A lady in her mid-fifties said. She's the vice president of D&D groups, the company that Ethan had just signed a good deal with."Oh, young lady. You should be here to watch as I massacre this family in front of you." The

2 days later."How many invites did you send out? Why do we have more people than we invited?" Ethan said, frowning.He wanted the invite to only have a total of 25 people at most, and now, there are about 35 people in the hall."I invited a few other people. It's my wedding, for crying out loud. Ethan, I have all the rights to invite whomever I choose," Xavier said, feeling tipsy.The whole event was already coming to an end. Xavier and Elia had taken their wedding vows, and Ethan saw no reason why he should remain in the hall."We said it was going to be a small wedding. A small wedding does not involve a lot of people," Ethan thundered.He was displeased that he had to see a few foreign faces in the hall, people he was certain knew him, but he wouldn't say he knew them."35 people is small enough," Xavier said, handing a glass of wine to Ethan."Have a drink and relax. This only happens once, so just let me enjoy the moment," he said and left Ethan, who still seemed pissed.Meanwhi
Chapter 193
Brandon drove Cersei back to the pub, where she got into her car and drove to Ethan's estate.She briskly walked into the mansion; there was barely anyone in sight, and she was grateful that she prioritized herself for once and left the estate to clear her mind. "It was worth it." She muttered.She got to her room and climbed into her bed—Cersei fell asleep almost immediately after her body touched the soft mattress.Unknowingly to her, the second she arrived at the house, she had eyes watching. Meanwhile, Xavier had purchased a penthouse some days ago just a few houses away from Ethan's estate; it was expensive, but he wanted to be close without being close.He successful engagement with Elia had pulled off just the way he expected.Xavier intentionally outdid himself because he wanted to impress Elia, whether or not he put in effort, he knew she was going to accept the proposal.Xavier's thoughts were soon interrupted by a knock on the door, "Sir, there's someone here to see you."
