Chapter 13: A Glimpse of the Past

The following week, Olivia found herself in a whirlwind of meetings, interviews, and photoshoots. Spring Entertainment was abuzz with excitement over a new project, and her busy schedule was a welcome distraction. Yet, despite the chaos, the weight of her unresolved feelings for Ethan lingered in the back of her mind.

“Hey, Liv!” Lily called out, bouncing into Olivia's office with her usual enthusiasm. “Guess what? We’re going to have a wrap party for the project next Friday!”

Olivia looked up from her desk, her interest piqued. “That sounds great! Any idea where it’s going to be?”

“Rumor has it, we’re heading to that swanky new rooftop bar downtown. You know, the one with the amazing views of the city!” Lily grinned, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Sounds perfect. I could use a night out.” Olivia forced a smile, but her thoughts drifted back to Ethan. *What if he shows up?*

“Speaking of nights out,” Lily began, a teasing glint in her eye, “I hea

    Chapter 14The moment Ethan and Olivia stepped into his penthouse, the tension between them crackled like electricity in the air. The soft glow of the city lights streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm ambiance around them. Ethan closed the door behind them, and the sound echoed like a starting gun, signaling that this night was about to take a passionate turn.“Wow, this place is amazing,” Olivia breathed, glancing around. But she barely took a step further before Ethan was upon her, his body brushing against hers, stealing her breath.“It’s nothing compared to how you make me feel,” he said, his voice low and gravelly. The heat radiating from him sent shivers down her spine. She felt her heart race as his fingers lightly traced her arm, igniting every nerve ending.“Ethan…” she started, but her voice faltered as he leaned in closer, his breath mingling with hers. “Shh,” he murmured, brushing his lips against hers in a teasingly soft kiss. It was enough to mak

    Chapter 15: Ethan's FianceeOlivia sat on the edge of Ethan’s leather sofa, her legs tucked beneath her, wearing nothing but his oversized dress shirt. She looked so loved and adorable.The morning sun was creeping through the tall windows of the penthouse, casting a soft glow over everything. It had been hours since their fiery reunion, but the atmosphere between them still buzzed, thick with the aftermath of passion. Ethan leaned against the kitchen island, sipping black coffee, shirtless, his toned chest exposed and marked faintly with Olivia’s fingernail scratches, a silent testament to their night. For the first time in a long while, Olivia felt… something. Relaxed. Safe? No, that was dangerous. Being with Ethan, feeling anything at all for him, was like playing with fire, and she had no intention of getting burned. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, catching the ghost of a smirk tugging at his lips as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. Before she could

    Chapter 16: The tension in Ethan’s penthouse hung like a storm cloud, heavy and ominous, even after the elevator doors sealed Sienna away. Olivia leaned against the edge of the sofa, her arms crossed tightly across her chest, watching Ethan. His jaw was clenched, his body still as if he were holding something back."Well," Olivia broke the silence, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "That wasn’t awkward at all."Ethan’s icy blue eyes snapped to hers, his expression unreadable but his presence crackling with intensity. "She’s irrelevant," he said flatly."Yeah, she seemed totally irrelevant while she was staking her claim on you like a lioness marking her territory," Olivia shot back, refusing to let him brush this off so easily.Ethan exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through his tousled hair. "Sienna’s not a problem."Olivia laughed. A sharp, humorless sound. "Not a problem? Ethan, she walked in here like she owned the place, insulted me to my face, and then acted like she could snap h

Olivia stirred on the sleek leather sofa, groaning as reality sank in. The events of the past twelve hours replayed in her mind like a chaotic film reel, Sienna’s dramatic intrusion, the scandalous headlines, and Ethan’s searing kiss that still tingled on her lips.She sat up, brushing a hand through her tousled hair, only to find Ethan standing by the window. He was already dressed in one of his perfectly tailored suits, his posture exuding authority. The light hit his face just right, accentuating the sharp angles of his jaw and the cool intensity in his eyes. He was every bit the billionaire the world feared and admired, yet there was a vulnerability she’d glimpsed last night that left her unsettled."You're awake," Ethan said without turning around, his voice smooth but distant."Good morning to you too," Olivia rep

Olivia woke up in the guest room of Ethan's penthouse, her head pounding from the emotional rollercoaster of the previous day. The sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but it did little to warm her mood. She stared blankly at the ceiling, the weight of Ethan's words replaying in her mind."Messy doesn’t scare me. Losing you does."Olivia groaned, tossing the comforter off herself. She couldn’t afford to dwell on his declaration, not when her career, and her sanity was on the line. She pulled on a robe and padded out to the kitchen, intending to grab a coffee and leave as quickly as possible.But of course, Ethan was already there.Dressed in a crisp navy suit, he stood by the marble island with a cup of coffee in hand, his gaze fixed on his phone. He didn’t look up as she entered, but Olivia felt his presence like a magnetic pull.She cleared
