"Tell me. Why are none of your sons willing to take up the Guardo family empire?" Cersei asked.

The old man smiled slyly at her and responded, "Unfortunately, none of them have interest in business."

He picked up his wine and drank it so that he almost emptied the cup. Cersei was also drinking, but she was trying her best not to drink so much from the bottle of wine.

"Why? Your son should be trained to take over the empire. Most children even end up fighting, wanting desperately to lead the empire." Cersei said,

"Well, unfortunately I was not blessed with those kind of children." He responded, causing Cersei to nod.

"That makes sense."

"I tried making them see reasons to rule, to want to lead, but they all chose different career paths. Artist. Actors and so on in the entertainment industry." He paused; the alcohol was beginning to take a toll on him.

"Wow. That must be really tiring. I could only imagine it." He commented.

"Only Catelyn showed maximum interest from when she was littl

    Alexander walked out of the dining room, leaving Trevor and Xavier alone.They both glared at each other until Trevor decided to leave the dining room first.Xavier scoffed, almost kicking the chair next to him because he was furious. He recalled that he hadn't taken his drugs before leaving the house. Letting out a sigh, he went to his car and checked his personal small space where he kept most things for emergencies.Unfortunately, he only had one of the pills, which could probably sustain him until daybreak.Ethan popped it down his throat, locked his car, and went back into the mansion. "This better be over before 9:30 tomorrow," he thought.On his way to his old room in the house, he paused the second his eyes fell on the wide balcony just down the hall.He didn't bother going into his room again; instead, he walked to the balcony, stood there for a little while, and stared into the city.

    "Father!" Xavier said calmly, before pulling out a chair—the only available chair at the dinner table was at the end of the table."You came late! This is not the usual time for dinner in my home." Alexander said nonchalantly as he used his fork to carefully cut the meat on his plate before taking it up to his mouth,Xavier didn't respond to him; instead, he opened the dishes in front of him and saw that they were empty."I knew you'd come but late just to spite me!" Alexander paused, snapped his fingers, and beckoned for the chef to come over to the table."And so I thought, you don't regard me highly enough to honor my invitation and at least be punctual, the same way I'd treat you like you're not part of my family. You will only eat the remainder of my food." He added, causing Xavier to chuckle softly.Xavier sat back on his chair and responded, "It's funny you speak of regard when the first word you could say to your son that you haven't seen for days is... You're late!" "You loo

    Xavier smiled at her, seeing how confident she was—he decided to keep the conversation going."I like your confidence. You seem ambitious, and from my experience, ambitious people are dangerous and not to be trusted." He paused, leaned closer to her, and said,"Because you have offered to be a price, I will have this meeting again, and this time with Ethan.""I'll see you around," he said and left the room, causing Cersei to clutch her finger tightly in horror.Everything went almost south and for some reason she couldn't help but wonder what he meant by saying, "Because you have offered to be a price"She sat in the VVIP section for a while, she didn't touch the food but she stared at it with a troubled mind.In less than 5 minutes, she poured some wine for herself, emptied it and requested for more food.She didn't want to go home with the heart that she had disappointed Ethan, so to escape her reality for a while longer, she believed that this was the only way—it was not only priv

    Catelyn wasn't sure if this was the right time, but she was curious to know the item that was discovered.She dialed her father's number and climbed onto her bed."Hello.""Dad, how are you?" She inquired,"I'm well." He responded."I saw your text. We are in Greece now...""You shouldn't be on the call with me now. You should be with your husband." Mr. Guardo said, causing Catelyn to immediately counter, saying,"No... I think he's doing something now. You can tell me whateveris important." "Catelyn. I'll call you tomorrow. There's something I have to do now. Stay with your husband, I'll keep you updated if you need to know urgently. I'll handle things from here." Mr. Guardo said, causing Catelyn to nod.She knew her father wanted the Martinez treasure for himself; she did too, and her father gets it, which means she's gotten it too.At the time of the marriage, she had no idea Ethan was Martinez's son, but unfortunately, when Ethan went to Guardo's Villa to inform Mr. Guardo of his
