Her words had their intended effect. Ethan froze mid–step, but
then turned back to face her with a bitter expression on his
face.
“Of course you’re worried about him. It’s always about him
now, isn’t it, Olivia? You don’t care about me anymore.””
Olivia’s face remained neutral. She said nothing, knowing that
any response she gave would only fuel his anger.
Then, out of the blue, Ethan shifted toward Xander. Instead of
the confrontation everyone had been bracing for, Ethan
lowered his head slightly.
“I owe you an apology. I haven’t been sincere enough, and for
that, I apologize.”
Ethan leaned down and picked up the bottle of whiskey that
had been sitting untouched. He poured himself a full glass and
held it up. “I need to punish myself for being so unprofessional.”
He downed the first glass, the second followed quickly, and
then the third.
Everyone thought he would stop there. But Ethan was
committed to the act. He kept going, downing glass after glass.

Most of the people in the room were uncomfortable with the
direction this meeting was going. Ben cleared his throat
nervously, while his secretary stared fixedly at her hands. Even
Korbin and Felix weren’t sure whether to intervene or not.
They all knew Ethan wasn’t really apologizing. Far from it,
actually. He was silently accusing Alexander of stealing his wife
by playing the depressed ex–husband who drowned his sorrows
with alcohol.
Alexander, however, remained unmoved by the spectacle. He
was aware of Ethan’s tactics, and quite frankly, he couldn’t care
less. He just looked at him coldly. The man was playing hardball, and Alexander wouldn’t engage in such low methods
of manipulation.
After his tenth glass, Ethan suddenly pressed his hand to his stomach, face contorting in pain. “I think I’ve… I can’t…” He
trailed off as he stumbled forward.
And then, almost as if he’d practiced the move, Ethan allowed himself to fall directly on Olivia’s lap. He wrapped his arms
around her as he sagged against her body.

challenge the Alpha directly. So once again, he called on his
acting skills.
“You think you can just… just push me around?” Ethan slurred his words deliberately, allowing the alcohol he’d consumed
earlier to serve as his excuse.
He stumbled backward, then lunged forward, and swung his
fist wildly toward Alexander’s face.
Alexander didn’t flinch. He just blinked at the man before him,
clearly unimpressed.
But before the situation could escalate further, Felix rushed
between Ethan and Alexander. “That’s enough.” He pushed
Ethan back, holding him firmly on the spot. “Ethan, stop. You’re clearly intoxicated.‘ Then to Alexander. “I apologize on his
behalf. We should probably end the meeting here.”
Alexander straightened his jacket. His expression remained cool, revealing nothing. “I don’t believe intoxication is the real issue here, Felix. Ethan appears to be very sick…” He leaned in
for effect. “Mentally, I mean. He might benefit from
professional help.”
He glanced at Ethan, offering him a pitiful look. “I could

recommend an excellent psychiatrist if you’re interested.”
Felix’s eyebrows rose at this unexpected turn. He’d been
prepared for the Alpha’s rage, or demands for apologies. But this seemed promising.
He glanced at Ethan who was still swaying slightly before he answered, “That’s quite generous. I appreciate it.”
