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

    Catelyn watched as Dana got to her feet; she was immediately displeased. "Where did all your desperation go to?" She asked,"It's a pity. I wanted someone desperate. Considering you have no company to put all your energy into, I advise that you should put your energy into your desperation," Catelyn added, causing Dana to swiftly turn to her."What do you suggest we do since you've made your interest known to me?" Dana asked, ignoring her previous comment. She didn't have a plan, but with the way Catelyn spoke with charisma, she could tell she had a plan."Well, I have a plan, Dana, and it needs time to hatch. I can't just rush into it now. I'm waiting for the right time," she said."Share your plan with me," Dana muttered, showing eagerness to hear the plan."Some other time, Dana, I'll invite you over for a proper conversation," she muttered, getting to her feet."I don't think there's more we need to talk about; it was nice sharing a drink with you, and I look forward to next time,

    "Hello, Catelyn." Dana said. She noticed how disheveled she was; although she tried to keep her hair combed, it was still evident that she was going through a hard phase."Why are you here, Dana?" Catelyn asked, sternly, doing away with the smile she forced on her face."I heard about your divorce," she muttered, quietly."The whole country knows about my divorce," she informed, causing Dana to smile softly."Won't you offer me a drink, at least?" Dana asked, still on her feet while Catelyn was still by the stairs,"Offer you what drink?" Catelyn furrowed her brows."Of course. We're not enemies, are we? As a matter of fact, I think we have a reason to be friends now," she said quietly before Catelyn turned to the staff present in the sitting room, dismissing all but the butler.She climbed down the stairs and sat on one of the chairs before gesturing for Dana to also have a seat."What do you like to drink?" Catelyn asked,"Normally, I'd like a soft drink, but with how my day has bee

"That's the man. We got a divorce, and normally, I deserve my alimony compensation, but unfortunately, he's been hiding so much wealth from me." She said,The policementurned to her and then shifted their gaze back at Ethan. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, sir; we didn't know this was your estate."

We know how the story between you and this man went down, and detaining him wo

    In a big watchtower in Italy, a well-built man in his late twenties stood, checking his time repeatedly. "Ciao, Mr. Lorenzo," said a man who walked in."Mi dispiace di essere in ritardo," he said, causing Lorenzo to look down at his time again and sigh."Did your mother not teach you how to speak English, Antonio?" Lorenzo asked, "Or did you forget what today is?""The 4th of July, sir." Antonio responded."Right. The 4th of July, and what is it the Americans gained today?" Lorenzo asked, calmly, looking out of one of the windows in the watchtower."Their independence." Antonio responded, causing a fickle smile to hang on Lorenzo's lips."We should celebrate them by speaking their language, don't you think?" He asked, and Antonio immediately agreed."So what was it you were saying, Antonio?" Lorenzo asked, causing Antonio to swallow hard. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lorenzo, that I came late." He muttered, causing Lorenzo to nod."Next time. You might not be able to return home," Lorenzo threat

Sensing that Elia wanted to have a private moment with Ethan, "Alright," Cersei responded before leaving the table.The second Cersei was no longer in sight, Elia held Ethan's hand, asking, "Why the hell did you take such a great risk?""Go home to your daughter. I'm fine." Ethan said, causing Elia's eyes to darken in disapproval."I can't leave you here without knowing what kind of pain you might experience next," she said, causing a soft chuckle to escape Ethan's lips.Just then, the doctor arrived with the test results. Cersei, who had been in the kitchen for a while, immediately got out, "Welcome, Doctor. Please, what is wrong with my doctor?" She asked, sternly expecting a response, but got none.The doctor seemed to not have a response. "What is it, doctor?" Elia inquired, displeased by the silence."It's unfortunate

    Ethan woke up and found himself in a room. The housekeeper hurried to him. "He's awake; please get the doctor." The housekeeper said, "There's a doctor here? Why did you bring a doctor to the underground house?" Ethan asked, getting to his feet, He suddenly felt stronger than he had ever felt. "You had a great fall, sir. We found you on the fall, and you still need to rest, please." The butler muttered worriedly. "Send the doctor back, and don't make any mistake like this again. When I get home, I'll have a doctor come over to check if I'm fine." He informed, making his way back to his father's study room. The box was still on the table, just how he left it, but looking deeper, he saw that there was an opening and a note beneath the opening. "There's no turning back now," he read. He closed the box and wore his watch back; Ethan didn't forget to take the ring as well with him. He left for his car and even almost got involved in an accident. Ring! Ring! Ethan's phone suddenly
