Chapter 63 Fragments Of The Past
- After meeting Eliot, Ethan became disoriented and edgy. His temper, once manageable, worsened significantly. He buried himself deeper in work, seeking distraction from thoughts of Eliot and Brandon. Respecting Ethan’s wishes, Brandon kept his distance, though his heart ached from the separation.
- The following weeks were a blur. Eliot began his tour, and Ethan meticulously organized everything: security, transportation, accommodation, and even medical teams on standby. Despite these efforts, he stayed away from Eliot and completely avoided Brandon. His world became a robotic routine of work and isolation, ensuring he had no contact with Brandon.
- Eliot, however, didn’t stop trying to get Ethan's attention. He sent texts, letters, and gifts from his tour. Ethan often tossed them into the trash, the pain from the past weighing heavily on him. During this period, he decided to sweep WARD out of the deal with Navida, opting instead for the expansion with Aldo. This decision displeased both Noah and Elizabeth Asher. Noah tried to reach Ethan, but Ethan ignored him and Elizabeth on all levels, doing what he thought was best for himself.
