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

Chapter: chapter 16: A sealed dealJulianna'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. We”ll do a follow-up brain scan in two weeks to moni

Chapter: chapter 15: Not without consequences Chapter 15Ethan's POV I walked out of the club, heading straight to my car. The cool night air did little to distract me as I slide into the driver's seat and started the engine. My phone buzzed, and I plugged in my earphones.“Speak,” I said.“Henry's awake, Sir.” Jane informed me.“Alright,” I replied then ended the call without a second thought.When I got home, I followed my usual routine: a quick shower, a glance at the files on my desk. Hours passed as I worked through the night, my mind clear and focused. It was better than dealing with the haunting nightmares.*****The next morning, Nexus demanded my attention as always. The day was filled with meetings and phone calls until my watch struck five.I picked up my phone and dialed Julianna's number. The line rang, but there was no answer. I frowned slightly and called again. Still nothing.Without hesitation, I grabbed my keys and left the office. The drive to the hospital was quick.When I arrived, I walked straight th

Chapter: chapter 14: A deal remains a dealChapter 14: Ethan's POV Her eyes burned with hatred as she stared at me, her emotions laid bare for anyone to see. When I said what needed to be said, she scoffed and turned away, her movement sharp as if distancing herself from me would erase the truth. That look in her eyes said it all–she despised me. Mutual, I thought coldly and that was precisely why I chose her to be my wife.It wasn't love, attraction or even affection that brought us here. This was a calculated decision. If I had to pick between my company crumbling under the weight of these ridiculous rumors about my sexuality or tying myself to a woman I couldn't stand, the choice was simple. Marriage, even a fake one was less evil.I watched her every movement for a moment longer and was curious to know what was going on in her head. She hated me now, but would she back out of the deal?I doubted it.A deal was a deal, and Julianna Adams didn't strike me as the kind of person who would abandon her brother's life

Chapter: chapter 13: Echoes of a deal Julianna's POV “Code Blue!” We’re losing him!.” The words echoed through the hallway, freezing me in place. My heart dropped as I dashed towards the operating room, only to be stopped by a nurse blocking the door. “Please,” i begged, tears streaming down my face. “He’s my brother. He needs me! The nurse smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry ma’am, you can't go in. Let the doctors do their work. I stepped back, trembling. My heart raced as I try to catch my breath, my gaze fixed on the transparent glass window as though my desperate gaze could save Henry. Then I saw him–Ethan walking in as if he owned the place. Beside him was an older man with a composed yet commanding presence. Without a word, the man smiled at me and entered the operating room. “Who is that”? I questioned the nurse who looked shocked. She regained her composure, “Dr. Anderson. One of the best surgeons in the country. If anyone can guarantee your brother's successful surgery, it's him.” I felt instant relief

For a year.’’Ethan smirked, his voice calm but laced with arrogance.I froze, certain I had misheard him. ‘’What did you just say?’’ I asked, my voice sharper than intended.He swirled his wine glass, his gaze never leaving mine. ‘’Julianna Adams, I hate repeating myself.
