But instead of helping me, Ethan takes a step closer, with a file in his hand. His voice is laced with anger, making my heart quiver. "Do you think I give a fuck what she does to you?" he growls.

I'm taken aback, shocked by his words. "But...but I thought you were here to help me," I stutter.

"Do you think I'm here to exchange talks with you? I'm here to make sure she finishes you, just like planned."
