"Sir," called out Aviana as soon as she was inside the CEO's office. "Have a sit," said Ethan as he gestured for her to sit down. Aviana followed his gesture and drew the chair opposite him and sat on it. "I'm reporting back to work," she continued. Ethan, immediately withdrew his eyes from the document he had been reading before she showed up and glanced at her. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Are you over the incidence? You don't need to report to work, if you have not fully recovered," he continued, his eyes filled with nothing but concern....concerned for her. Aviana, however, wasn't so much moved by his concern. She probably thought, it was his responsibility to show concern for his employees. Probably, because their employees' wellbeing played an important role in the company. So, if one fell sick, then it would affect the company's progress."I've fully recovered, sir," she responded. "Besides, staying at home would only make me think about the incidence. I need something that I can
The Lamborghini stopped in front of the luxurious villa. Ethan rushed out of the car and strode to the mansion. Kelvin, his younger brother, sat on the sofa, busy talking on the phone. Ethan, immediately strode over to where he was, and held him by his shirt, and lifted him high. "Where is the contract," his angry voice echoed in the room. Kelvin chuckled. This made Ethan fume more with anger. With his hand into a fist, he punched him on the face, so hard that the corners of his mouth began to bleed. "I ask again! Where is the contract!" he roared, stressing each word. Susan, who heard the noise from her room, rushed over, only to find her son being beaten up. Of course, she rushed over to separate him from her son."Stop it, Ethan!" she shouted as she continued to lose up his grip on her son. Ethan let go of him, and furiously threw him to the sofa, making him fall with a thump . Kelvin wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, as he continued to straighten up. Susan followed her
On the weekend evening The Lamborghini stopped in front of the luxurious villa. Ethan stepped out of the car and walked inside the mansion. Today, he didn't wear his office clothes, rather, he wore a Tee-shirt accompanied by a pair of blue jeans and sneakers. He looked absolutely sexy on the outfit. Everyone, except for him, had arrived much earlier. Today, was their family dinner. Everyone in the family needed to be present at the time. Once everyone had arrived, butler Stanley ordered the servants to serve the dishes. They all sat on the table and began to enjoy the meal. It was a sumptuous meal on the family day. At this moment, there was pin drop silence. Even Susan who couldn't spend a day without ruining people's moods, was quiet the whole time. From time to time, Kelvin kept glancing at Ethan. However, Ethan continued to devour his meal like a gentleman, his face still expressionless. Dinner was finally over. Ethan was about to step out of the door, heading to his car, when bu
The night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. The black sky night was teeming with bright stars. Aviana walked out of the coffee shop, laughing menacingly, with Aaron beside her. "Aaron, thanks for the company. I really enjoyed," she appreciated."The pleasure is all mine," responded Aaron. "We could have more of this, more often," he added."Yeah sure, I would love that," replied Aviana. "I really have to head home, right now," she added. "It's already late," "Okay, let me drive you home, I actually came with my car," he requested."No, no, no, don't bother," she said, politely. "I already called a cab and it's already here," As she pushed out these words, she pointed to the direction of where the cab stood, waiting for her, on the other side of the road."Next time then," he replied."Yeah sure, "she responded. "Goodbye, Aaron," she added, as she gave him a warm embrace and walked away.Aviana had stepped on t
Due to the trauma she had experienced after she was almost hit by a car, Aviana was forced to stay indoors for several days. Staying in the house all day long was a little boring for her. At first, she was reluctant to stay in the house, idle, but later on, she came to agree, after so much convincing was done. It was the best option, since the culprit behind the accident was yet to be found. His intention was obviously, to kill her and with the fact that he hadn't accomplished his mission, was enough reason to plan an attack on her, again. Ethan stepped out of the Lamborghini, and walked to the door. He had raised his hand, ready to knock on the door, when suddenly the door was banged open.Hayden stood at the door, his mouth ajar, as he stared at the man who stood in front of him. Actually, he was heading to the market with his mom, to buy some groceries, coincidentally, he opened the door and met him. Hayden suddenly launched forward and held him tightly by his waist, as he hugged h
The room was pitch dark, with the only light from the moon that reflected the room. In the middle of the room, a man sat on an armchair, his hands and legs tied to the chair. His eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth. The corners of his mouth, bled uncontrollably, his face swollen. Stains of blood could be clearly seen on his white shirt. "Ah!" he cried out, as the fist fell on his stomach. Again and again, he continued to be punched, but still, he refused to utter a word. He chose to endure the pain rather than say the truth. He withered on the chair, in pain. Heavy sounds of footsteps could be heard, as a man, continued to approach. He stopped when he was a few inches away from him. "Sir, he has refused to say anything," the other man spoke as he glanced at his boss, waiting for his response. However, he chuckled. Without uttering a single word, he took a few steps forward as he continued to approach the man on the armchair. Every step he took was seemingly becoming dangerous. Wh
G&K companyEthan sat on armchair as he busied himself with work. The rustling sound of papers could be heard as he perused through the documents. After he was done going through the documents, he placed them on the table. He pinched the soft area, between his eyebrows, as he were in deep thoughts. After pondering for a while, he picked up his phone and dialed Devin's number. "Come to the office, right away," he spoke, as soon as the call went through. He stood up and walked to the window. Few minutes later Devin walked in."Sir," he respectfully called out."Has the man finally said anything?" asked Ethan, his back on him."No, sir," responded Devin."Then, keep torturing him, until he's ready to talk!" he ordered."Torturing him has proven to be of no use. No matter how much we torture him, he won't speak up. Maybe we could try another criteria," Devin suggested, waiting for his reply."Do you have anything in mind?" asked Ethan as he continued to look out the window, at the beautif
There was some sense in what the man confessed. The only person who was capable of attempting to kill her was his father. From the beginning, he disliked her so much. In fact, he would get rid of any woman he would get intimately involved with, except for Chloe. She was the only daughter-in-law, in his eyes. Knowing his father fully well, he always got what he wanted. But now? Was it going to be even at the expense of his children's happiness? No? Ethan vowed, that would never be his case. It didn't matter if he lost everything. It didn't matter if he was disowned. But his happiness mattered. He walked into the mansion fuming with anger. He almost knocked over Kelvin, who onseeing him, rushed to him. He quickly aped up the stairs, and walked into the studyroom. Old Urkel, sat on the armchair, his arms crossed to his chest, his back leaning on the chair. He seemed to have been waiting for him. "Why? Why did you try to kill her?" asked Ethan his eyes filled with contempt. Old Urkel str
Ethan walked into "The Intoxicated" Entertainment clubhouse, the familiar buzz of energy and laughter wash over him. He spotted Alex and James who were already seated at their usual position. “Hey, look who finally decided to show up!” Alex called out, a playful grin spreading across his face. His eyes twinkled with mischief as he leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. James, ever the composed one, merely raised an eyebrow but offered a smirk.Ethan shrugged nonchalantly, but inside, he could still feel the residual warmth of the passionate encounter he’d just had with Aviana. The slightly disheveled state of his hair and the faint trace of lipstick lingering on his collar were the only signs that might give him away, but he hoped they would go unnoticed. “Traffic,” Ethan replied coolly, sliding into his seat with an air of indifference. He could see the knowing glimmer in Alex’s eyes, the way he leaned in just a bit closer, eager for any hint of a story.“Right,” Alex said, chuckl
Aviana walked into the house, her blouse still partially buttoned, a telltale sign of the passionate encounter she’d just had with Ethan in the car. As she fumbled with the remaining buttons, trying to regain some semblance of normalcy, a small, curious voice called out from the living room.“Big sis!” Hayden appeared around the corner, his bright eyes wide with curiosity. He was clutching a toy car tightly in one hand and staring up at his sister with a mix of innocence and suspicion.Aviana, momentarily flustered, straightened up and tried to smooth her disheveled appearance. “Hey, Hayden,” she said, forcing a casual tone. “What’s up?”Hayden’s gaze remained fixed on her, his little brows knitting together as he took in the scene. “You’re home pretty late, Big sis. And why are you buttoning your blouse like that? Did you and Uncle Ethan have a... uh, fun time in the car?”Aviana’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red. She froze mid-button, her mouth slightly open as she tried to proc
Aviana lay in Ethan's arms, their bodies intertwined in a comfortable silence that spoke volumes of their deep connection. The room was quiet, save for the soft rhythm of their breathing and the occasional contented sigh that escaped their lips.Ethan gently brushed a strand of hair away from Aviana's face, his touch tender and filled with affection. He couldn't help but marvel at how natural and right it felt to have her in his arms, to feel her warmth against him.Aviana shifted slightly, her head resting against his chest as she looked up at him with a soft smile. "You know," she murmured, her voice tinged with a hint of playfulness, "you have a way of making everything feel so... perfect."Ethan chuckled softly, his heart swelling with love for this woman who brought so much joy into his life. "I'm just glad you feel that way," he replied, his voice gentle. "You mean the world to me, Aviana."Aviana's smile widened, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on his chest as she gazed up at
Ethan looked up, his face flushed and his posture stiff as he tried to hold Aviana close. His usual aloof demeanor was completely absent, replaced by a flustered and panicked expression. “Faith! I—I didn’t expect—” he stammered, his words tumbling out in a jumbled mess.Faith couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. Ethan, the ever-composed boss, was now visibly flustered, with his shirt slightly askew and a look of sheer bewilderment on his face. Aviana’s cries were still unabated, adding to the hilarity of the situation.“Uh, Sir,” Faith said, trying to suppress her laughter as she walked over to them. “It looks like you’re having a bit of a rough time here.”Ethan, still holding Aviana, glanced at Faith with a mix of frustration and embarrassment. “Faith, I... I don’t know what to do. She’s... she’s crying because I figured out something too quickly, and then I made it worse by saying I got help from Scarlet. I don’t know how to fix this!"Faith’s eyes twinkled with a mix of amuseme
Ethan stood outside Aviana's office door, his mind racing with thoughts of how to approach her. He took a deep breath to steady his nerves, then knocked gently."Come in," Aviana's voice called from inside. Ethan entered cautiously, finding Aviana seated at her desk, engrossed in reviewing some documents. She looked up as he entered, her expression neutral but her eyes betraying a hint of wariness."Avi, can we talk?" Ethan asked softly, stepping further into the room.Aviana leaned back in her chair, her expression cool and composed despite the underlying irritation. Ethan stood before her, unsure of how to break through her icy demeanor."What's there to talk about, Ethan?" Aviana began, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she tapped her pen on the desk. "I don't expect you to have figured out the reason I'm mad at you already. It might take you a day, a week, or a lifetime to figure it out. Who knows?"Ethan blinked, taken aback by her blunt honesty. "Avi, I—""Nope," Aviana cut in,
Scarlet grinned at Aviana's comment about Milo, nodding in agreement. "He definitely does. But speaking of being kept on your toes, how's my brother treating you these days, Avi?" Scarlet asked playfully, raising an eyebrow teasingly.Aviana's smile faltered immediately at the mention of Ethan, her mood shifting drastically. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before responding. "Ethan?" she replied tersely, her voice edged with irritation. "He's... he's fine."Scarlet sensed the change in Aviana's tone, her playful expression fading as she picked up on the underlying tension. "Uh-oh, trouble in paradise?" she asked cautiously, eyebrows raised in mock concern. Aviana scoffed, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "Paradise? More like a roller coaster," she muttered, her hands gesturing animatedly. Scarlet sighed dramatically, leaning back in her chair as she looked at Aviana with exaggerated concern. "Okay, spill the tea, Avi. What happened between you and Ethan this
Twenty minutes later, Scarlet arrived at the office, her steps purposeful as she made her way to Ethan's office. She knocked lightly on the door before entering, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern."Brother," Scarlet greeted warmly, her voice tinged with a hint of apprehension. "You sounded pretty serious on the phone. What's going on?"Ethan rose from his chair to greet her, grateful for her presence. "Hey, Scarlet," he began, gesturing for her to take a seat opposite him. "Thanks for coming."Taking a deep breath, Ethan recounted the events of the morning's meeting with Aviana. He described Aviana's distant demeanor, his attempts to understand her mood, and the abrupt end to the meeting after confronting her.Scarlet listened attentively, her brow furrowing with concern as Ethan finished his explanation. "So, you think Avi's mad at you, but she won't tell you why?" she summarized, her voice soft with empathy."Yeah," Ethan replied, running a hand through his hair in frust
The boardroom was set for the meeting with the marketing team, and Aviana, with her usual efficiency, had everything organized meticulously. As they settled in, Aviana took her seat beside Ethan, her posture erect and her expression composed. However, her eyes betrayed a hint of icy reserve that Ethan couldn't ignore."Good morning, everyone," Ethan greeted cheerfully, attempting to lighten the atmosphere. Aviana responded with a polite nod but remained focused on the agenda in front of her.The marketing team leader began presenting the new campaign strategy, and Aviana listened intently, jotting down notes and occasionally exchanging professional remarks with the team. Each time Ethan tried to engage her with a comment or question, Aviana responded curtly and kept her interaction strictly business.Ethan, increasingly uncomfortable with Aviana's cold demeanor, shifted in his seat, trying to catch her eye. "What do you think about the demographics for the new ad placements?" Aviana
Aviana stood in Ethan's office, a stack of documents in hand, ready to brief him on the day's schedule. Despite their personal relationship, she maintained her professional demeanor, a testament to her dedication as his personal assistant."Good morning, Ethan," Aviana greeted, her voice carrying a blend of warmth and professionalism. "Here's the rundown for today. We have a meeting with the marketing team at 10 AM to discuss the new campaign strategy. Then, you have a lunch meeting with Mr. Johnson from Capital Investments at 12 PM."Ethan, leaning back in his chair, flashed a playful grin. "Sounds riveting, as always, Avi. Did you make sure they're serving my favorite dessert at lunch?"Aviana rolled her eyes playfully, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "I believe they're more interested in discussing investments than your sweet tooth, Ethan."He chuckled lightly, enjoying the banter. "You never know, Avi. Dessert is a serious business."Aviana continued with her briefing, detai
