"Hello," Ethan's deep voice echoed in the car. "What is it!" he asked, sounding impatient."Sir, something came up in the office," replied Devin. "There will be a video conference between the board members in ten minutes, sir," he concluded, unaware of the man's anger on the other side of the call."Damn it!" he cursed. "Why now? Why didn't you inform me earlier?" he said, angrily as he bumped his fist on the steering wheel. Devin, who heard him curse almost dropped his phone."W-we didn't know, sir," he stammered. "We just got the information few minutes ago," he said. After saying these words, he heard the screeching sound of the car as it turned around. 'What? Where was he heading to? Wait a minute, did I just jeopardize his plans? Well, he shouldn't blame me? The board members caused it all,' he thought to himself. Shrugging his shoulders, he walked back to his duty post.Meanwhile, the door bell rung and as usual, Hayden rushed towards the door to get it. Aviana, who sat across f
Aviana was done with the dishes. She sauntered back to her room. She locked the door and stepped forward towards the bed. With her back facing the bed she slumped down into the bed, she were obviously so exhausted. After aimlessly gazing at the ceiling for sometime, she stood up from the bed and got rid of her clothes, and wrapped herself with the bathrobe . Then, she walked towards the bathroom and banged the door closed. Meanwhile, Ethan was standing outside the villa, few inches away from the lit room. He walked back and forth around the compound, from time to time, gazing at the lit room above him. It seemed, he was deeply contesting with his thoughts whether to go in through the window or not. After coming up with a conclusion, Ethan stepped backwards as if he was about to turn around and leave the compound, but the next moment, he stepped forward in a quick pace and climbed the wall, aiming at her window. Fortunately, the window was still open. He climbed in but didn't move fur
(please, as you read through this chapter, listen to 'Your love' song by Sue Ramirez. Thank you) "You're the one who never lets me sleep, To my mind down to my soul, you touched my lips, You're the one that I can't wait to see, With you here by my side, I'm in ectasty...." Warmth blossomed in Aviana's chest, sparks igniting as Ethan leaned in closer, lips brushing together, tentatively, for the first time. The smell of his perfume was dizzying, butterflies dancing in her stomach. But, warmth consumed her as she leaned into the kiss, Ethan's lips impossibly soft against her own. Their bodies pressed together heatedly against the wall, breathing heavily as their lips pressed together. He played with her lips, savoring them, sucking and nibbling at them, slow at first, but as time passed, it increased in intensity. "I am all alone without you, My days are dark without a glimpse of you, But, now that you came into my life I feel complete, The flowers bloom, the morning shine
As he looked deep into her eyes, he creased his eyes like a detective would, looking for answers by glaring at his suspect's eyes. "I thought, I heard Ethan's voice last night, in your room," he added, not tearing his eyes off her, just incase he missed her facial expression that would give her away. "And, this morning, when I walked into your room, I heard you mention Ethan's name," he continued to bombard questions at her. "I did? But, I don't recall it?" she responded, while she creased her eyebrows, glaring at him. Obviously, it weren't true. Even if it were true, she wasn't going to give into him. She was going to play along with him. And, besides, it was high time she had a serious talk with him. It's obvious, he had been reading romance novels lately. "Hayden, have you been reading romance novels?" she asked him while she glared at him. Hearing her question, Hayden subconsciously sat back on his chair. "No, I haven't," he lied and immediately tore his eyes off her. "I th
"He's lying. There is someone, a woman, who has managed to capture his heart. But, who could she be?" she murmured to herself as she bit her lower lip while she lay on the bed, deeply indulged in her thoughts. "Well, I must find that out on my own. It's obvious, he will never tell me," she thought. After pondering for a while, scarlet picked up her phone that was placed on the table beside the bed. She send a text message to someone, and after it had successfully been delivered, she removed her sleeping gown and walked into the bathroom, with only a bathrobe covering her body. Scarlett walked into the coffee shop. She glanced around the shop as if looking for someone in the midst of the people who were present in the room. Her eyes locked on a man who sat at a corner. He wore a white hood and a pair of blue jeans and he too was looking at the coffee shop entrance, as if he were waiting to see someone show up. He waved at her, and Scarlet walked towards where he was sitting, a pure smi
The next day Aviana sat on her desk. She was too focused on her work, she didn't realize a figure walk in. Kelvin silently walked in and stood a few inches away from her desk. "I had no idea we have such a beautiful lady in the building," he said, while he grinned evily. Aviana, obviously, was startled by the strange voice. She quickly raised her head and locked eyes with him. He was tall, but he seemed to be younger. And, he had some features that looked exactly like Ethan's, his eyes and his tall figure. Could it be that he was their boss's younger brother? She had heard of? But, he didn't seem like someone who would have a feud with his elder brother? Well, looks could deceive, she thought. "Sir," she stood up from her chair and slightly bowed to give him the respect he deserved as the younger brother of their boss. Kelvin was amazed. Noone in the building had ever bowed to him like she was doing right now. He took slow strides as he stepped forward and walked to the other side o
"Are you hurt?" these words and the voice itself startled her back to reality. She glared at him, her eyes filled with questions she didn't have the answers to. She wanted to know, his words earlier, why they true? Did he actually mean it, when he said he liked her? Or did he just say it, to get rid of his brother? She didn't know? At first, she had believed his words, that he really liked her. But now, maybe he only said those words, to save her from his brother, it was so obvious. With a weak sigh, Aviana glanced sideways before she said, "I'm fine." However, Ethan wasn't fooled at all. He could see that something was troubling her. He lifted his hand, and with his thumb and forefinger, he held her chin up and tilted it towards his face making her look at him. "What are you thinking," he asked her, without averting his gaze from her. "Nothing," she simply said before she removed his hand which was holding her chin and turned around to walk away heading to her chair. But, before sh
Ethan still remained silent but his gaze was still on her. Aviana assumed his silence as his answer to her question. It only meant one thing: he didn't like her. How stupid of her to have thought he would actually fall for someone like her? Someone who didn't have anything in her name, to boast about? But, she didn't put the blame on him. She blamed herself, because she knew he was out of reach for her. Because, she knew she was never his type, she couldn't compare to the classy women in his life. She was just his Personal Assistant, and he was her boss. There could never be anything more than that, between them. But why? Why did she have to feel this way? Why did she feel heartbroken? She let out a broken sigh, before she released herself from his embrace and turned around. Her back facing him, she wiped a tear which had escaped her eyelid. She didn't want him to see her broken. She didn't want him to see her crying, just because of him. Ethan didn't move. He remained rooted to the
