"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

In Ethan's room, Catelyn took the phone. Ethan left the table the second he left the room.She knew Cersei was out—she knew she didn't go to the warehouse and might probably not even be aware of the accident, but she saw this as a distraction to know what was going on, since no one was interested in letting her know.She scrolled through the phone and snapped any information she thought could be useful.When she was done, she left the room to hers and climbed on her bed, checking the images she made.She furrowed her brows, noticing that almost every piece of information led to the warehouse. "But there was an accident there. This was obviously a trap for Ethan..." She figured and narrowed her eyes, seeing that nothing was important, but then she paused. "Ethan also knows something about the warehouse!" She thought, swallowing hard.The thought of giving her father a call crossed her mind, but then she sighed, "This was not enough information for him."Shortly after she gave up on c

Meanwhile, after Ethan left the hotel, he got into his car.Sat in there without turning on the engine of the car for longer than a minute.He picked up his phone and saw that he had a text, an important one. He recalled ignoring the messages that he received while driving to the hotel because he assumed that they might be from Cersei.He decided to check them now only for his eyes to fall on an unknown number: "Even after being reminded, you still couldn't make it." He read the last message that was sent before opening the rest.He had not had a conversation with him for a while now; this was the person he had asked to find an item for him, one that belonged to his family.Ethan sat up. "When was the last auction?""Today!" The person immediately responded and sent Ethan a number."I had someone pick it up. He had an interest in it too, so he bided and was able to get it." Ethan read,"This is his number." The man said in his other text.Ethan sighed, slapping his face, realizing tha

The auctioneer was stunned; an item he found no value in was in such high demand that the guests were ready to bid half a million dollars for it."500,000 dollars... Going for 500,000 dollars..." The auctioneer said, causing Bran to turn to the silver-eyed young man, smirking and raising his brows to see if he could beat that price."1 million dollars!" the silver-eyed man declared, his words striking Bran like a blow. At first, Bran's face turned pale, but then a lurking smirk spread broadly across his lips."2 million dollars!" Bran announced, causing tension in the room. Bran rubbed his palm; this only seemed like one of his games to him.He arched his brows, waiting for the next bid the silver-eyed man would place.Hearing nothing from him, he chuckled, but the smile on his face immediately disappeared the second his ears fell on, "10 million dollars!""20 million dollars," he declared immediately before the hammer fell, signaling that it had been sold."30 million dollars!" The s
Chapter 115
At Martell's mansion, Bran was prepared to leave his mansion.The chauffeur was already standing by the door of his cyber truck, ready to open the door for Bran when he marched out of the door, while the old man was standing by the door. Inside the mansion, Bran emptied his coffee cup and took one last glance at his reflection in the mirror. He smirked, ready to spend as much money as required to get the item that the old man claimed to be very important.He left his room and walked through the terrace; the old man bowed and followed behind until they got to the car.The chauffeur opened the door for Bran, then the old man joined him in the back seat before the door was shut."Are we set to go, sir?" The chauffeur asked."Yes." Bran responded; he texted Daniel asking if he had gotten any update from the men on the road to the warehouse."I don't think he has seen the conversation we made, sir." Daniel responded, assuming that if Ethan had seen it, the warehouse would be the first pla
