The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 18: Unwelcome Guest
Exercising without Ethan has been tough. I hate to admit it, but I really miss him. It's been over a week since he left on that mysterious trip. I don't know what's gotten into me, but I can't stop thinking about him.“Come in,” I said, my voice slightly tired. The door creaked open, and there was Noah, as cheerful as ever.“Good morning, cupcake!” he greeted with his usual energy. “Get dressed, it’s time for your workout.”Noah’s been like this every day since Ethan left. I can’t thank him enough for keeping me on track, even when my motivation dips. He always finds a way to get me moving.“I’m ready,” I said, forcing a smile. I didn’t feel ready, but I knew I needed to keep going.“Oh, then let’s go burn that fat, cupcake!” Noah grinned as he stepped out of my room, his enthusiasm contagious.Exercising with Noah isn’t bad, actually. He doesn’t coach me but he’s always there to make me laugh. Even when I’m struggling, he finds a way to lighten the mood. But he never stays long—only
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 17: Missing Pieces
Ava's POV I haven't seen Ethan since the mess with Victoria. It shouldn’t bother me, right? I mean, we don’t have that kind of relationship, but it does. I don’t know why, but it bothers me a lot.It had been over a week since I'd last seen him. I figured he hadn't been home. But then, out of nowhere, Ethan walked out of his room all dressed up and looking fine.I couldn't help but stare. He still had that something special about him. When he smiled at me, my heart did a little flip. Damn those butterflies! He came down the stairs and gave me this warm smile that made me realize how much I'd missed him."Good morning, princess," he said with that smirk of his. I felt my face turn red hot. Then, to make things worse, I started hiccuping. Talk about embarrassing!He handed me a piece of paper. Between hiccups, I took it and looked inside. It was a meal plan. I looked at him, totally surprised."You need to eat healthy. That's your meal plan," he said, walking towards the door without l
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 16: Old wound
Ethan walked in, his face unreadable as always. He was composed, "there was a hint of turmoil in his eyes, like a storm was raging just beneath the surface."Noah, sensing the tension in the air, gently took Ava’s arm and pulled her out of the kitchen. “Come on, let’s give them some space,” Noah whispered to her, though curiosity was eating her alive.As they sat in the living room, Ava couldn’t help but glance back toward the kitchen. Something felt off between Ethan and Victoria. Goosebumps rose on Ava’s arms when she heard Ethan’s cold, sharp voice.“What are you still doing here?” His words sliced through the air, low and sharp.Victoria, unbothered by the chill in his tone, smiled sweetly and moved closer to him. “I missed you, baby. I thought we could catch up. I even made you breakfast, your favorite,” she said, her voice dripping with an unsettling softness. “I don’t need your breakfast. I have a cook.” Ethan’s voice was ice-cold, sending a shiver down Ava’s spine. She had ne
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 15: Last night
Ethan hadn’t returned since he left the house this morning. Ava didn’t know why, but it bothered her more than it should. She found herself wondering where he could be. As she sat on the couch, flipping through channels without really watching, Noah appeared at the top of the stairs. "You're still awake, cupcake?" Noah asked, coming down. "It's already 11 p.m. Aren't you feeling sleepy?" "I... I just want to finish this TV show," Ava lied, glancing at the screen. Why was she lying to Noah? She couldn’t tell him she was waiting for Ethan to come back. Not like I have any right to care where he is, she thought to herself. "Oh, okay," Noah replied, heading into the kitchen. He came back with a glass of juice. "Is Ethan back yet?" he asked casually. "No!" Ava said a little too quickly. Then, in a softer tone, she added, "Do you know where he went? He left this morning and hasn't been back all day." She tried to sound indifferent, but there was curiosity in her voice that Noah could

“Where’s Ethan?” Noah asked, scanning the room. “Hope he didn’t stress you out. If he did, I’ll deal with him.” He threw a couple of playful punches in the air, making Ava laugh.“I’m here, Noah,” Ethan’s calm voice interrupted from the stairs. He was descending slowly, his steps measured. “Why are you always so loud?”Noah's face lit up. "Aw, did you miss me?" He tried to give Ethan a big hug, but Ethan quickly stepped away."Back off, man," Ethan grumbled, dodging Noah's arms. Ava couldn't help but smile at their silly behavior."Oh!" Noah suddenly remembered something. He handed Ava a shopping bag. "I got you a little present, cupcake. I hope you like it!"Ava's face broke into a big smile. "I love it already," she said, peeking inside the bag.Ava's eyes widened with surprise as she took the bag. “Thank you, Noah,” she said, her smile growing as she peeked inside. She pulled out a small blue box, and when she opened it, her breath caught in her throat.Inside was a stunning diamo
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 13: Gym session with Ethan
A light knock woke Ava from her deep sleep. She groaned as her body ached from all the exercises she'd been doing lately. Slowly, she forced herself out of bed and opened the door. Standing there, in his usual cool and calm demeanor, was Ethan.Ava’s eyes widened. She rubbed them, not quite sure if she was still dreaming or if Ethan was actually standing in front of her. But there he was, in his workout clothes, looking as serious as ever."Get dressed and meet me in the gym room. Your exercise starts in 20 minutes," Ethan said without waiting for a response."My muscles hurt... Can we leave it for another day?" Ava began to complain, but before she could finish, Ethan was already walking away, heading toward the gym.Ava hurried to get dressed, grumbling under her breath. The aching was intense, but she pushed herself to move quickly. She couldn’t afford to look lazy now.When she finally made it to the gym, she automatically headed for the weightlifting equipment. But before she cou
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 12: Ethan's effect
Ava stood awkwardly in the kitchen, her heart racing as Ethan stepped closer. His face was calm, giving nothing away, which only made her more nervous. Just when she thought she couldn’t feel more uncomfortable, she suddenly got the hiccups. Of all the times to get them, this had to be the worst.Each tiny hiccup made her feel more and more embarrassed. She could feel her cheeks burning as Ethan watched her with his cool gaze. Without a word, he grabbed a glass of water from the counter and handed it to her.“Here,” he said, his voice calm, but his eyes showed a flicker of amusement.Ava took the glass, sipping it in between hiccups. “I’m really sorry for… for barging into your room like that,” she mumbled between breaths. “I’m not usually so… so rude.”Ethan’s eyes softened just a little as he leaned back against the counter. “Easy, princess,” he said with a smirk.The moment he called her “princess,” Ava’s hiccups came back even worse. Her face turned red again, and she quickly lowe
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 11: Awkward Encounters
Ava sat curled up on the couch, her eyes on the front door. She had been waiting for hours, hoping Noah or Liam would come back to help her talk to Ethan. Her nerves were starting to wear thin, but she didn’t want to face Ethan alone, not after what happened in the gym.Just as she was about to give up and go to bed, the door swung open. Ava’s heart leaped, but it sank as soon as she realized it was only Ethan. He walked in, his suit was a little wrinkled, and his tie hung loose around his neck.Gathering her courage, Ava called out, “Are Noah and Liam sleeping out?”Ethan stopped, looked at her with no expression, and said, “They have their own houses.” Then, without waiting for a reply, he kept walking down the hall, leaving Ava standing there, feeling a little dumb."Just like that?" she muttered to herself, watching him disappear down the hall.The next morning, Ava woke up early, determined to talk to Ethan. She wasn’t going to let her nerves stop her this time. After quickly get
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 10: Cracks in Control
Ava’s hunger gnawed at her, demanding attention. She had been trying to suppress it, convinced that pushing through the discomfort would bring her closer to the new version of herself—the one Gabe couldn’t walk away from. But no matter how hard she tried to focus, the growling in her stomach drowned out her resolve.She wandered back to the gym, hoping the distraction of exercise would help. But the emptiness inside her only grew louder, more insistent, until she could no longer fight it. Defeated, she made her way to the kitchen, searching for any leftovers that might offer relief. Of course, there were none. She had even instructed the cook not to come for the day, a decision that now seemed both foolish and frustrating. Desperation set in as she picked up her phone, caving to the temptation. She ordered her favorite meal—a big, juicy hamburger with all the toppings, accompanied by a generous side of fries—and promised herself this was a one-time indulgence.While waiting for the fo
