Ann led Ethan straight to the bridal suite.
Elena had already changed out of her bloody wedding dress, but her expression was deadly cold. Just standing near her felt like standing in a freezing draft.
"Ethan, you make sure you do exactly what I taught you! Understand? Do that, and she'll truly be your wife. And remember, no matter what she says or demands, do not listen to her. Otherwise, you'll lose your wife forever!" Ann instructed sternly.
"Okay, I got it, Ann!" Ethan chimed.
Ann shot Elena a wary glance before stepping out and closing the door behind her.
Ethan immediately bounded over to Elena. "Wifey! Wifey! I want a kiss! I want a kiss!"
Without warning, he tackled Elena onto the bed, burying his face into her neck, trying to kiss her.
Elena could distinctly feel the physical shift in his body.
Did an idiot really have those kinds of urges?
"Don't move!" Elena suddenly ordered, pressing a small, concealed razor blade directly against his throat.
"Wifey, what are you doing? No playing with sharp things. Mommy says sharp things make the red juice flow," Ethan giggled, giving her a dopey smile.
"Drop the act, Ethan. I know you're not an idiot."
"Wifey, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"You don't understand? Fine. Let me make this perfectly clear. If you so much as touch me tonight, I will kill you. I poured that sedative down the drain today. None of it went into my system. I just need a fraction of my strength to slice your throat wide open!"
"Wifey, no... don't hurt me... please..." Ethan started to whine like a frightened child.
But Elena had absolutely zero patience for his games.
"I'm going to count to three, and then I'm done playing nice!"
"One. Two."
"Let's make a deal. I help you get what you want, and you don't touch me."
"But we're already married. You're my wife now," Ethan smirked, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"You know exactly how this marriage happened. But I also know exactly what you're really after."
"Oh? Do tell. What is it that I want?" Ethan asked, thoroughly entertained.
Elena met his predatory gaze. "You want the entire Sinclair family empire. You want to crush the Second and Third Branches under your heel. No, wait. You want to crush Xavier Sinclair."
"And what makes you say that?" Ethan's eyes flashed with a hint of genuine admiration.
Seeing that look, Elena knew she had hit the bullseye.
"The Sinclair Group's current assets originally belonged to the Scarlett family. By all rights, you are the true heir. But the Second and Third Branches have muscled in, severely weakening the First Branch's power. You're ambitious. You want absolute control of the empire to take back what belongs to your mother's side. And simultaneously, you despise your father, Xavier."
"You really are brilliant. No wonder my mother is so obsessed with you."
