"Did you tell her that I like lemon cake?" Cersei asked. "No, she's not aware that you're coming!" Ethan said, causing Cersei to nod. "You're one fine fish. What's your name?" Cersei asked, "Rosanna Milma." She responded. "Oh, from the Milma group?" Cersei inquired. "Yes, from there!" Rosanna responded with her eyes fixed on her food. She seemed to be nervous at the dinner table, and Cersei didn't really blame her for it; she knew she had an aura that most times made people uncomfortable around her. "So when do we start to talk about business?" Cersei asked before taking a spoonful of rice into her mouth. "Not during dinner, Cersei, after dinner." Ethan responded. Rosanna found that Ethan was being awkward around her, and for some reason, she just couldn't handle it. "Em... I have to go to the company today; the company needs me to be running smoothly," Rosanna muttered, causing Cersei to almost choke on her phone. After Rosanna left, Cersei scoffed, "The company needs her o

"Welcome..." Rosanna said, trying to sit up while Ethan was still standing by the door, stunned. "Mr. Ethan, we have been waiting for you to get here! Welcome! Please be seated..." A girl in a baby pink gown said. She was with a videographer who already had his camera set. "How did they get in here?" Ethan asked the nurse that was standing beside Rosanna. "My grandmother. She informed the reporters that they might find you here for the numerous questions they've had about you since you revealed your identity to everyone." Rosanna said. Ethan was still confused; he wondered what made Vera, Rosanna's grandmother, think she had that right. "She only wanted to prove that she has a close and good relationship with you," Rosanna added, causing Ethan to let out a long breath. This was how it worked; everybody was always wanting something, and even if he believed Rosanna was not like that, he would be right to believe that Rosanna could die pleasing her family, so she would do whatever w

Just as Cersei and Ethan were rounding off their conversation, Ethan's phone rang. It was a call from Lilian. "Hello! Ethan! There's something really important that you need to know!" She said, causing Lilian to furrow his brows, shifting his gaze to Cersei, who seemed to have heard Lilian's worried voice from the phone. "What is it?" Ethan asked abruptly, and with his tone, one would know that he was not just asking for Lilian to respond; he was demanding her to respond. "I received a mail from one of the numerous reporters calling..." "And?" "They mentioned something about knowing how you were able to grow your wealth, and their claims seemed disturbing." She responded. "What are their claims?" Ethan asked almost immediately after she ended her sentence. "That your means of acquiring such wealth is not pure, and they'd need to take you to court for questioning," Lilian said, causing Cersei to let out a long sigh that she didn't think she was holding. "Okay, Find the most trus
Chapter 65
Ethan Ford was just a name that Ethan acquired for the meantime; his true name was Ethan Martinez, and his father was no small man in the society before he was assassinated. People envied Gabriel Martinez for his wealth, status, and the fact that his family was envious of him. The hate and jealousy were not only from one person, and Ethan had just one name, Payne. Over the years, there was one thing Ethan figured out: the only few families that bore such names were on the prominent side of the country—where the Guardo family resided. "You know what we have figured out? Our information now is not even valid... I feel this was... "Reckless?" Ethan completed the words. "You must have your reasons," Cersei said before pouring more wine for Ethan and then pouring for herself. She sat on the chair before sipping from the wine, placing both hands on the table, and she asked, "I'm only to follow your command, and considering we've come, I thought I'd be the first you'd call when wanting

The meeting was soon over, and Ethan exited the room with Lilian and Mika. "Do you need some adjustments, sir?" Lilian asked, but Ethan shook his head, saying, "No! I trust your judgment in the men you placed at the table. Lilian nodded before following him to the door of his office. It was lunch break, and she hadn't had anything since she came to the office. "Would you like to join me for lunch, sir?" She inquired. "I believe I have a lot of work here. Get me lunch when you're done, and I'll eat in my office." He said before leaving her as he entered his office. He gave Rosanna a call like he promised, and fortunately, she was doing well. After ending the call with Rosanna, Mika knocked on his door twice before waiting to hear him say, "Come." Mika walked into the room, holding lunch for Ethan. As she placed it on the table, Ethan asked, "Where is Lilian?" "She's at her office; she asked me to bring you lunch," Mika said. "Sir... Do you need me to take anything to CEO L

"What the hell?" Ethan said, turning to Lilian. He didn't like that paparazzi were outside his company."I need you to find a way to make them leave!" He ordered and walked towards the private elevator.Lilian said a few words to the bodyguard before trailing behind Ethan."Do not worry, sir, we are working on it!" She said as they got into the elevator."There are so many important things that I need to tell you about, but first, what kind of coffee do you take?" She inquired."Americano," he responded, causing Lilian to nod. She escorted Ethan to his office before going to get the coffee for him."Here's the coffee," she said, placing it on Ethan's desk.Ethan was going through the papers that Antonio gave to him at McDonald's when Lillian came in with the coffee.He beckoned for her to take a seat right in front of him before passing the papers to her. "I got a call from Antonio this morning, and he told me something important. Something that I'm sure you would be thrilled to hear
