FALLING FOR FOREVER 57
Chapter 57: Shadows from the PastOlivia’s morning began with the soft hum of the city below Ethan’s penthouse. The tranquil moment was shattered when Ethan strode in from the balcony, his phone clutched tightly in his hand and a deep frown etched across his face.“Ethan?” she called, placing her coffee mug on the table.He didn’t respond immediately, his attention still on the screen. Olivia’s brows furrowed as she stood and walked over to him.“What’s wrong?” she asked, her tone softer now.Ethan sighed, locking his phone and turning to face her. “Nathan isn’t backing down. He’s digging into my past now.”Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. “Your past?”Ethan nodded, his jaw tight. “He’s desperate. He’ll try to twist anything he can find to tarnish me. I just got word that he’s reached out to someone from my…younger days.”Olivia studied him, noting the shadow that crossed his features. “Who?”Ethan hesitated, then finally said, “Sophia.”The name hung in the air like a storm cloud.

Chapter 58: The Calm Before the StormThe next morning, Olivia woke up to the sound of hushed voices and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. She stretched, her hand brushing across the empty side of the bed. Ethan was already up, undoubtedly strategizing about Nathan’s next move.Wrapping a robe around herself, she padded into the living room. Ethan stood near the kitchen island, his phone pressed to his ear and his tone sharp. Jake was seated nearby, typing furiously on his laptop.“Understood,” Ethan said curtly before hanging up. His eyes softened slightly when he saw Olivia approach.“Good morning,” she said, offering him a small smile. “Busy already?”“Always,” Ethan replied, stepping closer to kiss her forehead. “Did I wake you?”“No, but it’s hard to sleep knowing Nathan’s out there plotting.” She glanced at Jake, who gave her a polite nod before returning to his work.“We’re handling it,” Ethan assured her, his voice low and steady. “Sophia may think she has leverage, but she

Chapter 59: The MeetingThe next morning, the tension was palpable. Ethan’s usually calm demeanor was overshadowed by a rare sharpness that put everyone on edge. Even Jake, who had worked with him for years, chose his words carefully, sensing the storm brewing beneath his boss’s composed exterior.Olivia watched Ethan from the breakfast table, her chin resting on her hand. He looked every bit the formidable businessman: sharp suit, crisp tie, and an air of quiet dominance.“Do you really have to meet her alone?” she asked, breaking the silence.Ethan glanced at her, his gaze softening slightly. “Yes. Sophia thrives on attention. She’s less likely to pull something dramatic if it’s just the two of us.”Olivia frowned. “And what if she tries to provoke you? Or worse, ambush you with some stunt?”Ethan smirked. “She can try. But I’m not so easily provoked.”“That’s debatable,” Olivia muttered, earning a raised eyebrow from Ethan.He walked over to her, placing a hand under her chin to ti

Chapter 60: A Game of HeartsThe following days were a whirlwind of emotions and schemes. Ethan grew more protective of Olivia, sensing the storm Sophia had promised to unleash. Olivia, however, wasn’t one to cower. She refused to let anyone use her as a pawn in their twisted game, even if it meant defying Ethan himself.“You’re doing it again,” Olivia said one morning, standing in the doorway of his office.Ethan barely glanced up from his laptop. “Doing what?”“Hovering,” she replied, crossing her arms. “I know you think you’re protecting me, but you’re suffocating me, Ethan.”He sighed, closing his laptop and leaning back in his chair. “It’s not hovering, Olivia. It’s being cautious.”“Cautious is when you check the locks twice before bed. You’ve turned into a full-blown bodyguard,” she said, raising an eyebrow.Ethan’s lips twitched, almost smiling at her sass. “You’re exaggerating.”“Am I?” she shot back. “What’s next? A tracking device in my shoes?”“That’s actually not a bad id

Chapter 61: Storms BrewingOlivia woke to the sound of her phone buzzing insistently on the nightstand. Groaning, she turned over, squinting at the screen. It was Lily, and the stream of texts that followed her call left Olivia wide awake.Lily: OMG, check your socials NOW!Lily: You’re literally everywhere.Lily: You and Ethan are trending again, but this time, it’s huge.“What now?” Olivia muttered, reluctantly opening her favorite gossip app.Sure enough, her name was plastered across the headlines alongside Ethan’s, with blurry photos of the two of them from the café and a headline that made her jaw drop.“From Scandal to Sizzle: Olivia Hart and Ethan Cole’s Love Story Takes Center Stage!”“Ugh,” she groaned, tossing the phone aside and burying her face in her pillow. “Why can’t these people mind their own business?”Ethan’s voice cut through her grumbles, his tone teasing. “Morning, sunshine. Trouble in paradise already?”Olivia peeked out from under her pillow to see Ethan stand

Chapter 62: Uninvited GuestsThe next morning, Olivia was jolted awake by a loud banging on the apartment door. Groggy and disoriented, she glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was barely 6 a.m.“Ethan?” she called out, but the other side of the bed was empty.The banging continued, followed by a familiar voice that made her stomach drop.“Olivia Hart! Open this door right now!”It was Sophia.Olivia’s heart raced as she scrambled out of bed, pulling on a robe. What was Sophia doing here, and how did she even know where they were?She tiptoed to the door and peeked through the peephole. Sure enough, there was Sophia, looking as poised and furious as ever, flanked by two reporters holding cameras.“Olivia, don’t make me call security to break this door down!” Sophia threatened, her voice loud enough to echo down the hallway.Before Olivia could decide what to do, Ethan appeared from the hallway, shirtless and holding a coffee mug. He looked completely unfazed, as if a crazed ex-f

Chapter 63: The Calm Before the StormThe tension in the apartment lingered long after Sophia’s dramatic exit. Ethan, as always, remained unbothered, but Olivia couldn’t shake the unease swirling in her chest. She busied herself cleaning up breakfast dishes, hoping the rhythmic clinking of plates would drown out her thoughts.Ethan watched her from the kitchen counter, his sharp gaze softening as she moved around in a flurry of nervous energy.“You’re quiet,” he said, breaking the silence.Olivia looked up, startled, and forced a smile. “Just... processing.”Ethan pushed away from the counter and approached her, his movements deliberate and steady. He slid his hands onto her shoulders, stopping her mid-reach for another plate.“Hey,” he said softly. “She can’t hurt us.”Olivia sighed, leaning into his touch. “It’s not just Sophia, Ethan. It’s everything. The media, the constant scrutiny, the drama. Sometimes it feels like we’re walking on a tightrope, and one wrong move could send us

Chapter 64: Waves of PassionThe sun dipped below the horizon, casting shades of pink and gold across the sky. The secluded beach grew quieter, with only the rhythmic crash of waves filling the air. Olivia stood at the water’s edge, her toes buried in the cool, damp sand, as the breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean.Behind her, Ethan approached, his footsteps soft but deliberate. She turned to face him, her breath catching as she met his smoldering gaze. The tension between them crackled like a live wire, amplified by the intimacy of their surroundings.“You look breathtaking,” Ethan murmured, his voice low and husky as he reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.Olivia laughed softly, the sound blending with the waves. “I’m in a sundress and no makeup.”“And you’ve never looked more perfect,” he said, stepping closer until the heat of his body pressed against hers.Her laughter faded, replaced by an intensity that made her knees weak. Ethan’s hands slid to he

Chapter 134: Growing TogetherThe weeks that followed were filled with even more anticipation as Olivia’s pregnancy progressed. Every day seemed like a new milestone, her belly grew, her cravings shifted, and the occasional morning sickness became a reminder of the little life blossoming inside of her. Ethan continued to be her rock, always there, always supportive, though his protective nature had become even more pronounced.One evening, as they sat together in the living room, Olivia leaned back against the couch, her eyes closed as she let out a content sigh. Ethan was next to her, gently rubbing her feet as she rested. His touch was soothing, and the warmth of his hand calmed her.“I don’t know how I would’ve gotten through this without you,” she said, looking up at him with a smile. “You’ve been amazing.”Ethan paused his gentle movements and looked down at her with a soft smile of his own. “I’m just doing what any husband should do. You’re carrying our child, Olivia. The least

The sun was barely peeking through the curtains, casting a warm glow across their bedroom.

From picking out the dress to choosing the venue, everything felt surreal and yet perfectly right.

Chapter 131: A Promise for the FutureIt was a quiet evening when Ethan finally took the step he had been avoiding for so long. He had kept his distance, convinced that the world he had dragged Olivia into was too dangerous, too dark for her. But standing in front of her now, with the soft glow of the candles illuminating her face and her steady gaze fixed on him, Ethan realized that she was more than capable of handling whatever came their way.He could see the love in her eyes, the way she believed in him, even when he couldn’t believe in himself. She had never once flinched, never once hesitated, even as his world crumbled around them.Olivia had become his anchor, the one person who kept him grounded when the weight of his past threatened to pull him under."Ethan," she said, her voice soft but firm, breaking the silence between them. "What’s on your mind?"He swallowed hard, his heart pounding in his chest. It was time. Time to make a decision that would change everything. His fu

Chapter 130: Unraveling SecretsThe morning after the storm was almost eerily calm, as if the earth itself was recovering from the turmoil of the night. The sun broke through the clouds, casting its light over the landscape in a soft golden hue. Inside the cabin, however, the air was thick with the weight of unspoken words, emotions swirling just below the surface.Olivia stood by the window, staring out at the tranquil view, her fingers tracing the edge of the glass as if she could touch the world outside. Ethan was in the kitchen, preparing coffee, the sounds of him moving around barely registering in her mind as she replayed the events of the previous night.She could still feel the warmth of his touch, the way his lips had lingered on hers, as if to reassure them both that they were in this together. But even as she let herself fall deeper into the safety of his embrace, there was something in Ethan’s eyes that told her he was still holding something back.She could feel it in the

Chapter 129: Facing the Storm TogetherThe storm raged outside, but inside, the warmth of the cabin wrapped around them, a stark contrast to the chaos that threatened to engulf their world. Ethan held Olivia close, the steady rhythm of his breathing a comfort in the midst of their shared silence. But the air was thick with unspoken words, with the weight of everything they still had yet to face.Olivia could feel the tension still gripping Ethan’s body, the restlessness that lingered even in the safety of their shared space. She pulled back slightly, looking up at him, her heart heavy with the truth he had revealed. But in that same breath, a new determination sparked within her.“We can’t keep hiding from this, Ethan,” Olivia said, her voice soft but resolute. “You’re not alone in this fight. We’ll face whatever’s coming together. That’s what we do.”Ethan’s eyes softened, and for a moment, it seemed as if the weight of the world had lifted off his shoulders, if only for a second. He

Chapter 128: Unraveling the PastThe storm outside had only intensified, its howling winds battering against the cabin walls as if trying to break through the calm they’d created inside. But Ethan's earlier revelation hung heavily between them, and the tension was palpable.Olivia sat on the edge of the small couch, her fingers nervously twisting together as she watched Ethan pace back and forth. He was restless, as if something was gnawing at him, something he couldn't quite grasp. And Olivia knew, knew that whatever was coming, it wasn’t just about enemies, power, or protection. It was personal."Do you trust me?" Ethan's voice broke the silence, harsh but not unkind.Olivia looked up at him, her heart thudding in her chest. The weight of his question felt monumental. "Of course, I do," she replied, her voice firm but soft. "You know that."He stopped pacing and turned to face her, his eyes dark with emotion. "This thing I’m facing… it’s not just about business. It’s not just about

Chapter 127: The Storm ApproachesThe next morning, the storm that had been looming on the horizon finally broke. The sun, which had been so bright and calm the previous day, now hid behind dark clouds, and a sharp wind began to whip through the trees. Olivia could feel the tension in the air, thick and oppressive.She sat at the small wooden table in the cabin, staring out of the window as the storm clouds gathered, her mind racing with everything that Ethan had told her the night before. She knew that whatever was coming was more than just a simple challenge—they were heading into something far deeper, something darker than they’d expected. And the fact that Ethan hadn’t shared everything with her only made her more nervous.She knew he was trying to protect her. But part of her couldn't help but feel a creeping sense of isolation. What if he was keeping something from her that she needed to know?As if on cue, Ethan walked into the room, his expression tense. His usually sharp, com

Chapter 126: The Calm Before the StormThe morning sun streamed through the large windows of the cabin, casting soft golden light across the room. Olivia stirred in her sleep, the warmth of the blankets surrounding her, and the faint smell of pine lingering in the air. It was quiet, peaceful—something she had not experienced in a long time. And as she opened her eyes, she saw Ethan lying beside her, his expression calm and serene as he slept.For a moment, Olivia just watched him, feeling a sense of contentment wash over her. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of emotions, but in that moment, it felt like they had finally found a sense of peace. She carefully moved to get out of bed, trying not to disturb him, but just as she reached for the blanket, Ethan stirred.“Where are you going?” His voice was low and husky from sleep, a slight smirk playing at the corner of his lips.“I was just going to make us some coffee,” Olivia whispered, smiling at the fact that he seemed to always
