FALLING FOR FOREVER 14
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

Chapter 17: ChaosMorning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of Ethan’s penthouse, its warmth doing little to thaw the tension lingering from the night before. 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

Chapter 18: You're Trending AgainThe news broke like a tidal wave. Ethan Cole's rumored fiancée, Sienna, leaving his office in a flurry, her expression hidden beneath oversized sunglasses, was enough to send the media into a frenzy. Speculation swirled, with every headline trying to untangle the knot of the billionaire’s love life.In the eye of the storm, Olivia sat in the makeup chair at the studio, trying to focus on the script in her hands. But the whispers and sideways glances from the crew made it nearly impossible. She wasn’t naïve, she knew she’d become the center of a scandal, one she never asked for.Her phone buzzed on the counter, pulling her attention from the mirror. Lily’s name flashed on the screen, and Olivia sighed, answering with a weary, "What now?""You’re trending again," Lily said without preamble."Lovely," Olivia muttered, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Let me guess, the ‘homewrecker’ narrative is still going strong?""Worse," Lily said, her voice tinged w

Chapter 19: The Thin Line Between Control and ChaosThe morning after their tense confrontation was heavy with unspoken words. 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

Chapter 20: I'm Not Going Anywhere, OliviaEthan Cole was a man who thrived on control. He had built his empire by mastering every detail, every move, every risk. Yet, Olivia Hart had turned his perfectly ordered life upside down. As he sat in his penthouse office overlooking the city, the chaos of their recent encounter still lingered in his mind.He had left her apartment the night before with more questions than answers. Why couldn’t he let her go? Why did she have such a hold over him? And most importantly, what was he willing to risk to keep her?Jake entered the room, breaking Ethan’s train of thought. "Sir, your 10 a.m. meeting is about to start.""Reschedule it," Ethan said curtly.Jake blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Ethan Cole never missed meetings. "Of course, sir. Is there anything else I should prioritize?"Ethan leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled under his chin. "Find out who’s behind the recent leak about Olivia."Jake hesitated, glancing at his boss’

Chapter 21: Entanglement Might Be A LiabilityThe kiss Ethan left on Olivia’s lips lingered, heavy with emotions she wasn’t prepared to confront. As the door to her apartment closed behind him, silence enveloped her, but her thoughts were anything but quiet.Olivia sank onto the couch, her fingers brushing over her lips as if to erase the memory, or perhaps to hold onto it a little longer. What was she doing? Ethan Cole was the last man she could afford to entangle herself with, but he was also the only one who had ever made her feel this…alive.Her phone buzzed on the table, dragging her out of her thoughts. It was Lily.“Liv, you need to tell me what the hell is going on!” Lily’s voice practically exploded through the speaker.“What do you mean?” Olivia asked, feigning ignorance.“What do I mean? Ethan Cole just publicly declared war on anyone who even thinks about breathing wrong around you. You’re trending everywhere! The world is officially shipping ‘Ethan and Olivia.’”Olivia gr

Chapter 35: A Night to Remember The weight of the day hung heavy, but for the first time in weeks, the storm outside seemed to pause. The moonlight spilled into Ethan’s penthouse, casting a soft glow over the sleek furnishings. It was quiet, almost too quiet, as Olivia sat by the large floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the city lights below. Her thoughts were a whirlwind. The forged documents, Daniel’s threats, Ethan’s unyielding protection, it was all too much to unpack. She barely heard Ethan approaching until his shadow fell over her. “You’re lost in your thoughts again,” he said, his deep voice breaking through the silence. She turned, startled to see him holding two glasses of wine. He was dressed casually, a stark contrast to his usual sharp suits. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and for once, he looked almost…approachable. “Trying to make sense of everything,” Olivia admitted as he handed her a glass and sat beside her. “You don’t have to,” Ethan said

Chapter 34: Shadows of BetrayalMorning sunlight filtered through the penthouse windows, but the warmth did nothing to dispel the tension crackling in the air. Ethan stood by the window, phone pressed to his ear, issuing commands with the precision of a battlefield general. He was dressed impeccably in a tailored navy suit, but his restless pacing betrayed the storm brewing inside him. Olivia sat on the couch, her gaze fixed on him as she sipped her coffee. He hadn’t said much since the cryptic message from Daniel’s lawyer the night before, but she could feel the weight of his thoughts bearing down on him. When he ended the call, she set her mug down. “Are you going to tell me what’s going on, or do I have to guess?” Ethan turned, his sharp eyes locking onto hers. “You don’t need to worry about it.” Her brow furrowed, frustration bubbling to the surface. “You don’t get to decide that. If it involves me, I deserve to know.” He let out a heavy sigh, running a hand through his

Chapter 33: Storms on the HorizonThe fallout from the gala was swift and unforgiving. News outlets ran back-to-back exposés on Daniel Winters’ business practices, while social media roasted him mercilessly. It was a public execution, orchestrated with the precision only Ethan Cole could manage.But in the midst of the chaos, Ethan wasn’t celebrating. He was preparing for the next move. Olivia noticed it in the way he carried himself—restless, relentless, and impossibly focused.“I know that look,” Olivia said one morning as she sipped her coffee, watching him pace across the living room.“What look?” Ethan asked, distracted, his phone in one hand and a file in the other.“The ‘I’m planning to conquer the world before lunch’ look.” She set her mug down and crossed her arms. “You’ve already taken down Daniel. What’s next, Ethan?”He paused, glancing at her. “Securing what’s mine.”Olivia arched a brow. “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?”Ethan walked toward her, his intensity

Chapter 32: The Gloves Come OffEthan wasn’t a man to waste time. As soon as he gathered the intel from Angela, he set his next plan in motion. Daniel Winters had crossed the line, and Ethan was determined to ensure he’d regret it.In the days that followed, Ethan’s strategy began to unfold like a finely orchestrated game of chess. Every move was calculated, every decision razor-sharp. Key clients Daniel relied on started pulling out, one after another, their reasons cloaked in polite vagueness but clearly orchestrated by Ethan.At the penthouse, Olivia kept her eyes glued to the news, which buzzed with whispers about Daniel Winters’ collapsing empire. Each headline felt like a small victory, though Olivia knew the fight was far from over.“What’s next on your agenda, mastermind?” Olivia asked one evening, leaning against the doorway of Ethan’s study.Ethan looked up from his laptop, his expression as unreadable as ever. “Taking him out of the picture entirely.”Olivia crossed her arm

Chapter 31: Winds of RetaliationThe tension between Ethan and Olivia lingered in the air like a storm waiting to break. Though the city below was alive with lights and movement, the penthouse was unnervingly quiet. Olivia stood by the balcony, the glass of wine in her hand untouched as her thoughts spiraled.Ethan’s words echoed in her mind: “Because I care about you.”She had heard declarations before, empty promises and flowery words from men who ultimately left her to pick up the pieces. But with Ethan, it felt different. His protectiveness, his determination to shield her from Daniel’s schemes, was unlike anything she had experienced. It scared her as much as it reassured her.Inside, Ethan sat in his study, surrounded by monitors and documents. His methods were cold and precise, like a surgeon preparing for a critical operation. Daniel Winters wasn’t just an enemy; he was an obstacle Ethan intended to obliterate."Jake," Ethan said into his headset. "I want every company associa

Chapter 30: Shadows of the PastEthan paced the length of his study, the sleek, modern room dimly lit except for the glow of his laptop screen. The name Daniel Winters repeated in his head like a mantra, each syllable sharpening his resolve. Whoever this man was, he had made a grave mistake."Jake," Ethan barked into his phone. "I need everything on a Daniel Winters. Every record, every connection, every debt. I don’t care how you get it just make it fast.""On it, sir," Jake replied without hesitation.Ethan hung up, his jaw tightening. No one messed with what was his, no one, and got away unscathed.Meanwhile, Olivia sat curled up in a corner of Ethan’s couch, her mind restless. The quiet of the penthouse amplified her thoughts, memories she had buried for years clawing their way back to the surface.Daniel Winters. She had once trusted him, relied on him, and he had betrayed her in ways she hadn’t thought possible. But now, he was stirring the pot again, threatening the fragile sen

Chapter 29: A Fortress of SecretsThe ride to Ethan's penthouse was filled with a tense silence, broken only by the occasional hum of the car engine. Olivia stared out of the window, watching the city lights blur past. Ethan's presence next to her was suffocating yet strangely reassuring."Are you going to tell me how this is supposed to help?" Olivia asked, finally breaking the silence.Ethan glanced at her, his jaw tightening. "You’ll be safer with me. Until I find out who’s behind the leaks and shut them down, I can’t risk leaving you on your own.""Safer from what? Gossip?" she shot back, her voice laced with sarcasm.Ethan didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leaned back in his seat, his icy gaze fixed on her. "You don’t understand how far these things can go, Olivia. It’s not just about gossip anymore. They’ll dig up your past, twist it, and use it to destroy you. And I won’t let that happen."His words sent a shiver down her spine. As much as she hated to admit it, he wasn’t

Chapter 28: Unmasking ShadowsThe morning sunlight streamed through Olivia’s window, but the warmth did little to soothe the cold pit in her stomach. News outlets were relentless. Every detail of her life was now a spectacle, and she felt like a caged animal in a zoo.Her phone rang, the caller ID flashing Claire’s name again.“Claire,” Olivia answered, her voice tense.“We’ve got a problem,” Claire said without preamble. “The tabloids are running with a new angle. They’re claiming your relationship with Ethan is a publicity stunt.”Olivia sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. “Of course they are. What else is new?”“It’s not just that,” Claire continued. “They’re dragging up old rumors about your family, your time before acting. Someone’s feeding them information, Liv.”Olivia froze. Her past was something she had buried long ago, a part of her life she never wanted to see the light of day. If the media got hold of certain details, it could ruin her career—and her sanity.“Who’s b

Chapter 27: Caught in the CrossfireThe aftermath of Ethan’s statement was a whirlwind Olivia hadn’t anticipated. By mid-morning, social media was abuzz with contrasting opinions. Supporters praised Ethan’s gallant defense, while skeptics questioned his motives. Olivia was caught in the middle, her life dissected by millions of strangers who didn’t know the first thing about her.At the studio, the atmosphere was tense. People whispered in clusters, and every glance in Olivia’s direction felt like a dagger. She had managed to make it to set, but the weight of everyone’s judgment clung to her like a second skin.“Liv, are you sure you’re okay to work today?” Lily asked as she handed her a cup of tea during a brief break.“I can’t hide forever,” Olivia replied, her voice low. “If I stop, they’ll win. They’ll think I have something to be ashamed of.”“But Ethan’s statement…”“Made things worse,” Olivia finished bitterly. “Now, everyone thinks there’s more to this than there really is.”L
