"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

Meanwhile, inside the plane to Athens, Greece. The passengers were soon informed that the plane would soon be landing.The flight was approximately 11 hours, and Catelyn was on a book, though.The VVIP section of the plane gave Catelyn exactly the kind of comfort she liked.They got down from the plane while the driver and bodyguard that were already waiting for their arrival immediately went to take their bags.The bodyguards bowed, getting Ethan and Catelyn, and so did the driver before he opened the door for the couple to get into the car.Ethan was undeniably tired, but he didn't let it show. They got to the penthouse, and Ethan got to the master bedroom in the penthouse, the place where he'd be spending the honeymoon with Catelyn.There were two closets in the room, one for Catelyn and another for Ethan.While Ethan's closet was already arranged because he didn't bring anything along with him to Greece but his laptop and important things he might need for work.Ethan had Catelyn'

"It's good that you're here and did not keep me waiting," he said, standing up to draw out a seat for her.Cersei, who was in a daze, composed herself and sat down."Do you have the item with you?" She inquired, clearing her throat."You still don't want to know my name. You don't want to know if I'm for you or against you. I told you, That's a bad business strategy." He said."And asking you your name is a good business strategy?" Cersei inquired."A step." He responded, signaling for the waiter to come over to the table.There was no one in the room but them. "I don't care about your name, but I surely want to know who you are!" She said, causing a smirk to find its way to his lips,"That's the same as asking my name." He responded, passing the menu to Cersei."Well, I'm asking your name. Are you going to tell me or not?" She inquired. "My name is Xavier. Xavier Alexander! Bastard son of Alexander the Untamed." He informed.It definitely rang a bell for Cersei. She had heard tales

"You should not hold back anymore, Ethan. We are man and wife, and your love affair for some girl that you had to leave should not cause a problem in our marriage." She paused, gazing directly into his eyes after helping him take off his shirt."I don't like problems. I have a habit of eliminating them," she said, sending a message to Ethan."Do you feel that threatened?" He asked, helping her to take off her dress,"Yes. And I don't like treats, especially not in my marriage," she added.Ethan pushed her to the bed and climbed on the bed."We have that in common!" He said and kissed her lips."Pack your things. Get ready for the flight tomorrow; I don't want you to be tired." Ethan said before placing one last kiss on her cheek before climbing down from the bed.As he buttoned his shirt, Catelyn had a smirk lurking on her face."See you tomorrow, husband!" She said, biting her lips seductively.The second Ethan was no longer in the room, the smile died down.She took her phone and di
