At Alexander's mansion—now Xavier's residence. Xavier got back from work; his wife, Elia, had traveled to Ethan's estate.

Two days before she left, she saw the news about Ethan and his ex-wives, but she didn't pay attention to it. Last night, it grew worse, and she tried dialing Ethan's number multiple times because she knew that if the case wasn't handled quickly, it could be really bad for Ethan's businesses.

"Your wife is not home now... Do you still feel like a boy here?" Lisa asked.

After her last encounter with Xavier, he had been weirdly distant, and since then, her hatred for Elia grew.

Elia was barely at home because she was determined to run the Martell empire properly.

"I heard from your mother that you're in a film and you managed to bag the lead role," Xavier said, changing the topic.

"Yes, and this movie is going to be a big hit." She said, smiling as she tried to touch Xavier, but he stepped back. Straightening his tie, he said, "Then you should focus on the movie being

    "Okay, sir," Lilian responded sternly before Ethan hung up. After the call, he decided to rest.Ethan closed his eyes, and just like the last few nights, his head began to hurt the second he shut his eyes to sleep.If he manages to get through the pain, the world suddenly turns quiet, and his thoughts become louder in his head. "You're taking time, Ethan; what if they're faster than you?"He tried not to think too much of if things didn't go his way, but it was almost impossible. "You have to get up! What if they're watching? What if they're working while the only thing you do is sit down and wait?""You don't even know who your foes are...""Stop!!!!" Ethan yelled, throwing his hand to his ears to cover them, but unfortunately, the voices were all in his head; he was depriving himself of sleep by thinking like that, but the problem was that Ethan just couldn't escape it.He sat up, staring blankly at his wall for hours. He climbed down from the bed and took a few steps towards his dr

    "I hope not, Rosanna. I hope not because I'm teaching you how not to leave all your eggs in one basket," Vera informed.Getting tired of the conversation, Rosanna asked, "You've gotten the invitation that I promised. I have something to do now. Bye, Grandma." Without waiting to get a response, she hung up.After hanging up, she sat in the room and completely lost track of the time.Knock! Knock! A knock on the door caught her attention. "I'm not hungry yet, James; I'll come down soon," she said, thinking it was the butler.The door opened, ignoring her words, "Didn't you hear me?" Rosanna asked and swiftly turned to the door and was surprised to see Ethan standing there instead of the butler.She froze, surprised. "How are you feeling now?" Ethan asked, strolling towards the bed where she sat, next to Carissa, who has spent more than half of the day asleep.The nanny had occasionally come to check up on the baby, making sure she was fed anytime she woke up.Rosanna ignored Ethan's qu

    Lisa walked to the kitchen with the intention of brewing a cup of coffee for herself so that she could stay up all night and walk around the house; hopefully, she'd come across Xavier randomly, but the only problem she had was her mother, and maybe instead of Xavier, she might bump into her mother.Her phone rang, and without checking the caller, she answered and said, "I think you should focus on your boyfriend; at least now I know where you stand...""Who are you talking to?" Her mother cut in, causing Lisa to immediately check who the caller was.Surprisingly, her eyes fell on the words, "My mom.""It's not you, Mom... I'm, uhmm, rehearsing for a role," she lied."Okay, I hope I'm not interrupting. I really want this movie to be a hit movie for you so that we can finally be able to fund living alone in a mansion and afford that kind of lifestyle without breaking the bank," she said."Okay, Mom. "I'm trying, and don't worry, I'm putting in the effort," she responded."Alright, dear.
