CONTRACT MARRIAGE Chapter 14
Took Emily a few days to recover and now, she was back at it again. Emily raced to her car and pulled out her phone. She had to call Ethan and tell him everything. He was her only hope, and she knew he would be able to help her."Ethan, I need your help," Emily said, her voice shaking."What's wrong?" Ethan asked, his voice filled with concern."I've been working with a gang to find out about my mother, but they want me to kill someone," Emily explained. "I can't do it, but I don't want to betray them either. I need to come up with a plan to bring the rival gang member to them instead."Ethan was quiet for a moment before he spoke. "Okay, I'll help you," he said. "But you need to be careful. These people are dangerous."Emily nodded, knowing that Ethan was right. But she didn't have any other options. She had to find out the truth about her mother, and this was the only way to do it.They spent the next few hours coming up with a plan. They decided that the best way to get the rival

Emily gasped as a hand grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth to prevent her from screaming. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she tried to break free, but the grip on her was too tight. She knew she was in serious trouble."Shh...it's just me," a familiar voice whispered in her ear. Emily turned around and saw Ethan standing in front of her, his face tense."What's going on?" she asked, her voice shaking."I don't know," Ethan said, looking around nervously.

"They know we're here."Emily followed Ethan out of the apartment, keeping clo

Suddenly, they heard a loud gunshot, followed by a scream. Emily turned around to see her father lying on the ground, blood seeping out of his chest."Dad!" she cried, running over to him.Ethan followed closely behind, surveying the area for the shooter. But he couldn't find anyone."Who did this?" Emily demanded, tears streaming down her face."I...I don't know," her father gasped. "It happened so fast..."Emily watched in horror as her father's eyes slowly closed, his last breath escaping his lips. She couldn't believe that he was gone.Ethan put his arm around her, pulling her close. "We have to go," he said softly.Emily nodded, still in shock.

Emily looked at the man on the ground, unsure of what had just happened. Her heart was racing, and her hands were shaking. Ethan was on the ground, too, and she ran to him, kneeling beside him."Ethan, are you okay?" she asked, her voice trembling.Ethan groaned and rubbed his head. "I think so," he said, sitting up slowly.Emily looked around, trying to find the source of the noise. She saw a man standing at the end of the alleyway, holding a gun. It was Luke.Luke walked toward them, his gun still raised. "Are you two all right?" he asked, his voice low.Emily nodded, unable to speak. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Luke had saved their lives."What are you doing here?" Ethan asked, his voice shaky."I followed you," Luke said, his eyes never leaving the man on the ground. "I saw him pull a gun, and I knew I had to do something."Emily stood up, her knees weak. "Thank you, Luke," she said, her voice barely a whisper.Luke put the gun away and walked over to them. "Are y

Emily was taken aback by Ethan's sudden outburst. She had been caught off guard and had no idea what he was talking about."What are you talking about?" she asked, confused."Don't play dumb with me," Ethan said, taking a step closer to her. "I know you're hiding something from me. What is it?"Emily took a step back, feeling uneasy. She had always been careful not to reveal too much of herself to Ethan, and now he was accusing her of something she hadn't done."I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her voice trembling.Ethan's expression softened slightly, and he took another step forward. "Look, I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't mean to come on so strong. I just feel like we're not really...connected. Like something is missing."Emily looked at him, surprised by his sudden vulnerability. She had never seen him like this before. It was almost as if he was a different person."I know what you mean," she said softly. "I've felt the same way."Ethan nodded. "I think it's time

Not after everything they had been through.As the men fled the scene, Emily fell to her knees beside Ethan, tears streaming down her face."Ethan, please," she cried. "Don't leave me."Ethan's eyes fluttered open, and he looked up at her, a weak smile on his lips."I'm not going anywhere," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

Could Ethan have finally realized what he had lost?But she refused to let herself get carried away. "Ethan, you can't just say things like that and expect everything to be okay.
