As they begin to navigate the complexities of their relationship, Olivia must face the harsh scrutiny of the media, the expectations of those around her, and her own fears of falling for someone so different from herself.
Meanwhile, Ethan, who is used to control in every aspect of his life, finds himself drawn to Olivia in ways he never expected.

But with both of them carrying the weight of their own ambitions and pasts, their journey is anything but smooth.

Chapter: 70Chapter 70: Breaking News and Silent ConfessionsThe sunlight streamed through the tall windows of Ethan’s office, casting long shadows on the sleek floor. Olivia sat perched on the edge of his desk, scrolling through her phone, her lips pressed into a thin line.“Are you sure about this?” Ethan asked, leaning against the desk beside her. His usual confidence was slightly marred by a hint of concern.She turned to look at him, her eyes clear and resolute. “Yes. I need to be the one to speak up. This is my life, Ethan. I’m not going to let strangers dictate my story.”Ethan studied her for a moment, his expression softening. “Alright,” he said, nodding. “But I’m coming with you. Whatever happens, we’re in this together.”The press conference was scheduled for later that afternoon, and by the time Olivia arrived at the venue, reporters were already swarming outside. The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air, and the buzz of whispered speculation grew louder as she stepped out

Chapter: 69Chapter 69: The Storm Beneath the SurfaceThe next morning, Olivia woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing incessantly. Groaning, she reached for it, expecting another string of reminders from Lily. Instead, her screen lit up with Ethan’s name.“Good morning,” she mumbled, her voice thick with sleep.“Turn on the news,” Ethan said, his tone unusually curt.“What? Why?” Olivia sat up, her heart pounding.“Just do it. Channel seven.”Confused, Olivia grabbed the remote and switched on the television. Her stomach sank as the headline splashed across the screen: Socialite Olivia Hart and Business Tycoon Ethan Cole Caught in Scandalous Web.Her breath caught as the footage rolled, showing grainy photos of her entering Ethan’s penthouse, followed by speculative commentary from a panel of smug anchors.“What the hell?” Olivia whispered, her hands trembling.“I warned you this might happen,” Ethan said through the phone.“But this… this is ridiculous!” she snapped, her anger building. “They

Chapter: 68Chapter 68: Whispers of BetrayalOlivia’s unease from the night before lingered as she returned to her routine. Ethan’s mysterious note weighed on her mind, but she decided not to press him further. Instead, she threw herself into her work, meeting with Lily and the agency's PR team to strategize for an upcoming event.“I think we should play into the positive buzz,” Lily suggested as she clicked through a slideshow. “The press loves you and Ethan as a power couple. If we lean into it, we can turn this into a long-term advantage.”Olivia frowned, her lips pursing. “I don’t know, Lily. What happens when the media loses interest? Ethan and I don’t need a PR stunt defining our relationship.”Lily shrugged. “True, but it wouldn’t hurt to use the momentum. Besides, the more they see you two together, the harder it’ll be for anyone to drag you down.”Before Olivia could respond, her phone buzzed on the table. The screen flashed with Ethan’s name.“Speak of the devil,” she muttered, picking

Chapter: 67Chapter 67: Unveiling the TruthThe following day, Olivia woke to the sound of Ethan’s low voice drifting from the adjoining room. He was on a call, and his words, though muted, carried an unmistakable authority. She stretched lazily, basking in the morning light that filtered through the curtains, before curiosity got the better of her.Wrapping a robe around herself, she padded softly to the door.“...make sure the article never sees the light of day,” Ethan was saying, his tone cold and clipped.Olivia leaned against the doorway, crossing her arms. “Damage control?”Ethan turned, his expression softening when he saw her. “Good morning, love.”“Good morning,” she replied, raising an eyebrow. “Who were you threatening now?”Ethan smirked, hanging up the call. “Just ensuring that certain tabloids know their place.”Olivia rolled her eyes, stepping into the room. “You can’t solve everything by intimidation, Ethan.”“Can’t I?” he teased, pulling her into his arms.She placed her hands o

Chapter: 66Chapter 66: The Jealous CEOThe next morning, Olivia was startled awake by the sound of her phone buzzing incessantly on the bedside table. She groaned, burying her face into the pillow. Before she could fully comprehend what was happening, Ethan’s arm tightened around her waist.“Don’t even think about answering that,” he mumbled, his voice husky with sleep.“Ethan, it could be important,” Olivia said, attempting to wriggle free from his grasp.“Nope. You’re staying right here.” Ethan’s hold on her didn’t loosen, and Olivia sighed in exasperation.“You’re impossible,” she muttered, reaching blindly for her phone.“Yet you love me,” Ethan replied smugly, burying his face in the crook of her neck.Finally grabbing the device, Olivia squinted at the screen. Dozens of missed calls and text messages flooded her notifications.“What the…” Olivia sat up, scrolling through the messages.
