Chapter: chapter 21: Let's get you a wedding dress "
Julianna's POVEven with the lights still on, I can't sleep. My body is sensitive to new places, and my mind won't stop replaying today's events. Should I start with the stress of being called in the middle of my sleep or the tension I walked into at Ethan's family home?From the looks of things, this family is….complicated, especially his mother, she wasn't just cold–she was hostile. The way she looked at him–like he wasn't her son but a stranger she despised. It's unsettling, Ethan has her features but the obvious tension between the mother and son is strong.Was I worried about him? Not. But I couldn't help being curious about…“I'm sorry… I'm sorry…”The sudden words pulled me out of my thoughts. I sat up and turned to the sound.The sight I saw was…disturbing. Ethan was clutching the bedcovers like his life depended on it, his face twisted in pain. Sweat covered his forehead and his breathing was heavy. He looked like a completely different person at that moment.I stood up from

Chapter: Chapter 20: Lucid dreams
Ethan's POV I watched her for a while as she entered her apartment. I subconsciously touched my cheeks where she had hit me. The sting on my cheek from the slap lingered. But it wasn't the pain that bothered me, it was the audacity. I clenched my Jaw as if trying to suppress my irritation. With a sigh, I turned on the engine and drove home.The penthouse was silent as I stepped inside. I took off my Jacket and loosened my tie, hanging them neatly in the closet. A hot shower did little to ease the heaviness. Dressed in a blue rope, I headed to the library, where my laptop waited for an online meeting.The moment the call connected. The faces of executives and international partners appeared on the screen.“Mr. Ethan,” one of them began, his tone formal. “Nexus Global International’s reputation is getting more pleasant to hear every single day.As the largest oil and Gas corporation in New York–one of the most influential worldwide. The success of your recent offshore project speaks

Chapter: chapter 19: "Who are you, Ethan Frost?"
Chapter 19Julianna's POV I got into my room, turned on the light, and jumped on the bed without changing out my outfit. Staring at the ceiling, I began to replay today's events– the dinner party, the exposure to the media, and the discomfort I felt. I didn't belong in a world where wealth and power defined everything, I can't be in a world where Ethan rules. For a moment, I felt like I'm losing myself which makes me feel pathetic.Closing my eyes, I drifted into sleep with the lights still on.***I found myself in the middle of a street, hands stained with blood, my breath caught in my throat as I stared at the figure lying on the ground–my mum.“Mum…” I choked, as tears flooded my eyes.“Julia…nna…” she croaked as she trembled in pain.“Mum,” please don't talk. You're losing so much blood… someone helps!” my voice cracked as I looked desperately at the car that had hit her. The glass was tinted, and the driver was still inside. I ran to the car, banging on the glass desperately.

Chapter: chapter 18: Lines crossed
Chapter 18Ethan's POVWhat are you doing here? I asked, my voice cold as I clenched my fists, trying to keep my composure.Raphael leaned casually against the table, his grin was as annoying as ever. ‘’Show some respect, I’m your brother,’’ he said, wearing his sunglasses as if the dinner wasn’t already ruined by his presence. ‘’It would be surprising if I were left out of this dinner.’’‘’You weren’t invited,’’ I replied curtly.His grin widened, and he turned to Julianna, who stood silently beside me, her eyes looking between us. ‘’Nice ring for such nice fingers,’’ he said as he tried to touch her hands which Julianna flung away subtly with a silent hiss.‘’Thanks,’’ Julianna replied tightly, her polite smile doing little to mask how uncomfortable she felt. She glanced at me briefly before focusing on Raphael, her posture awkward.‘’You have a unique..taste, Ethan, Raphael winked as he stared at our joint hands.I moved a little bit closer to him as he stared at me with entertain

Chapter: chapter 17: Being in the spotlight
Ethan's POV“Prepare for the dinner bouquet tonight.” I said then hung up before she could think of saying another word and stared at the headlines again. A small smirk at the corners of my lips. My phone buzzed, pulling me out of my thoughts. I answered it, already knowing who it was. “Who is the lady?!”Annabel screamed so loudly which made me wince and pulled the phone away from my ear.“Don't tell me that's the reason you called?’’ I asked, my voice laced with irritation.“Of course,...you’ve been sehen with women before, but definitely not like this.Who's she? Dad’s also curious– he had to cut his trip short because of the rumors.”I sighed and let the silence lingered.“Ethan? Are you still there?” she asked, her voice softer now, cautious. “Yes, I'm here,” I said, clearing my throat. “Annabel, the news isn't something to worry about. It's not just a rumor.”She went silent for a while, making me get irritated every passing second.“Since there's clearly nothing meaningful

Julianna's POVHenry was sitting up in bed, eating his lunch. The color was slowly returning to his cheeks, though he still looked weak.The door opened, and Dr. Matthew walked in with a clipboard in his hand and a warm smile. His calm expression immediately puts me at ease.“How are we doing today, Henry?” he asked, ruffling Henry's hair.Henry groaned but smiled. “I'm okay, Sir.”Dr. Matthew nodded as he flipped through the notes on his clipboard. “That’s good to hear. Your surgery was a success, but you need to recover fully before you are allowed to get discharged. You need to rest and avoid stress for the next few weeks. No screens for long periods, No video games, and definitely no football. “Understood?”Henry gave a small nod, glancing at me for reassurance. I smiled and squeezed his hand.The doctor turned his attention to me. “Miss. Adams, it's important he sticks to a proper routine–healthy meals, lot of water and rest.
