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

  • 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 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 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 19: Ava's body transformation

    Ava's POV I made a decision a month ago—not to let Ethan see me on video calls anymore. Every week's call had been fun, crazy even, but I wanted to keep my transformation a secret until I could surprise him in person. Every time he called, I switched to normal calls or made sure to show him only the gym or surroundings, avoiding any chance for my reflection to slip through. I wanted the big reveal to be perfect, not ruined by the pixelated image of a video call.This has been going on for over six months now. Ethan hadn’t seen me once, and in that time, I had transformed beyond recognition. I was down to 150 pounds, muscles forming in all the right places, and my body… Well, it felt like everything had shifted perfectly. My curves were more defined, and for the first time, I actually loved what I saw in the mirror. I’d never been slim before—always the chubby girl who adored junk food—but now, seeing this version of myself? It felt like I’d stepped into someone else’s life.Noah was

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 20: mom's food

    My mom flung open the door, a parade of chefs bustled in, their arms laden with steaming dishes. The rich aroma of home-cooked meals filled the air.“Mom, not again,” I sighed. This was her routine every time I stayed too long at the hospital.“You need to eat well,” she insisted, her voice firm but loving as she waved the cooks toward the dining table. They laid out the trays one by one, filling every inch of the table with food. I couldn’t help but smile. Her food was delicious, no doubt about it. I missed it, but this? This was overkill. I wasn’t hosting a party, and I certainly didn’t need half the city’s chefs showing up at my doorstep.She kept holding my hand like she was afraid I’d disappear if she let go. I tried to pull it free, but she just tightened her grip, dragging me over to the dining table and practically shoving me into a chair. “You need to eat a lot. That’s why I made all this,” she said, already piling food onto my plate. “Ava, darling!” she called out, snappi

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 21: the new hair cut

    After freshening up, I decided to head downstairs and spend some time with the boys. They didn’t seem like they were in any rush to get back to work, which was a good sign. I was starting to enjoy having everyone around, especially after months of mostly being by myself. The moment Liam saw me, his jaw practically hit the floor. "Ava, I barely recognize you," he said, looking like he’d just seen a ghost. " I've been gone for a few months, and now... look at you!" I smiled, feeling a bit shy. "Thanks, Liam." "Your body transformation is insane. I honestly thought Ethan brought back a new girl." He laughed. Why did everyone think Ethan would bring a girl back? Is he some sort of playboy? I wondered to myself but shook the thought away quickly. Before I could sit down, Noah’s voice rang out. "Hey, Ava, I booked that hair appointment you wanted." I perked up. I’d been wanting to do a little makeover. Since everyone thought I was dead, I figured a new look wouldn’t hurt. Maybe,

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 22: The Tension Between Us

    Ava’s POV Do you have a problem with me?" I asked, my frustration spilling over. "Is it my hair? Is that why you’re acting like this?” “For a second, I wasn’t sure if he was going to respond. But then, a sly smile crept across his face as he stood up, his eyes never leaving mine. He gently brushed my hair behind my ear, his touch sending an unexpected shiver down my spine. “You look hot, princess,” he murmured, his voice low and smooth. “I love the hair.” His breath was warm against my cheek, and suddenly, I felt my face flush. My heart raced, and before I knew it, I was hiccuping. Embarrassed, I grabbed the water bottle from his desk and gulped down a huge drink while he chuckled softly. Regaining my composure, I cleared my throat and stepped back. “Anyway,” I said, trying to sound more serious, “I went through my father’s files and found something interesting. You’re one of the major investors in his company.” He didn’t say a word, just watched me, his expression unreadable o

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 23: A New identity

    Ava was lost in thought, she couldn’t just sit idly by while the empire he built slowly crumbled. Out of his three hotels, only one was performing well, and if she didn’t act fast, the rest would be sold off. The weight of that realization pressed down on her. A sudden knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts. She turned to see Ethan walk in, carrying a file. Without a word, he handed it to her. Confused, she took the file and opened it, her eyes scanning the contents. It was a new identity—papers with a different name, background, and history. She stared at him, waiting for an explanation.“I figured you might need a change of identity for the time being,” Ethan said, his tone casual.Of course, Ava knew she needed it. Going back into the business world as herself, given all that had happened, would be dangerous. But she didn’t want to admit it to him, not after the way he had dismissed her plea for help the day before. She wasn’t sure what to make of his sudden change of he

  • The Betrayal's kiss    chapter 70: late night snack

    Ethan's POVI couldn’t take my eyes off her. Every movement she made had me captivated. I felt a small smile tug at my lips, unable to hide the effect she had on me. As I looked up, I caught her gaze before she quickly looked away. "I made something for you. I... I was thinking you should come and have some," she murmured, her eyes avoiding mine as she fidgeted with her fingers. "You made something?" I asked, my surprise evident. It was the first time I’d ever heard her mention cooking , and now I was more than eager to taste whatever she had prepared. I quickly arranged the files on my desk and followed her downstairs. The way her shorts hugged her figure didn’t escape me. She had no idea how irresistible she looked. As we entered the kitchen, a warm, sweet aroma filled the air. It smelled incredible. She moved to the oven and pulled out a tray of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. The golden-brown swirls were perfectly glazed, and the smell alone had my mouth watering. She ca

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 69: The drive home

    Ethan's POV “What are you doing?” Noah asked, his eyes narrowing as he watched me. His voice cut through the quiet of my office. “Checking my phone, obviously,” I said without looking up, my focus fixed on the screen. “You’ve been staring at that phone for a while now. Are you expecting a call?” he pressed, leaning back in his chair. I didn’t answer. My thoughts were elsewhere. Work hours were long over, and it was already 9 p.m., but Ava hadn’t called or texted. My mind ran through scenarios, each one more irritating than the last. Unable to resist, I dialed her number. When she answered, I let out a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. “Are you still at work?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. “I was just about to call you,” she replied, her voice soft and calm. “I just finished working.” “Before I could respond, a voice in the background caught my attention. “Should I drive you home?” I froze. I knew that voice all too well—Gabe. “No!” I shouted, my voi

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 68: The thief

    Ava's POV We walked into the office, and I let out a breath of relief, thinking Ethan would finally behave himself. But before he let go of me, his hand gave my butt a light spank. I gasped, spinning to face him. “What was that for?” I tried to sound angry, but the heat creeping up my face betrayed me. “I don’t know,” he said, staring at his hand as though it had a mind of its own. “I guess it likes it there. Besides, your butt is so soft,” he added, taking a step closer, that mischievous grin back on his face made it impossible to stay mad.I wanted to glare at him, but instead, I flushed, feeling my cheeks heat up. "You’re impossible," I muttered, walking over to my desk in an attempt to escape his teasing.Ethan chuckled, shaking his head. “Do you think sitting at your desk will stop me?” His voice held an unmistakable teasing tone. “You know, you look really cute when you’re flustered,” he continued, standing directly in front of me now. “I—” I stammered, “we have a lot

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 67: office

    Ava’s POV This morning, I felt much better and was determined to head to work. As I stepped outside, ready to call for the driver, Ethan was already waiting by his car. “I’m driving you to work,” he said, standing by the car with his usual calm look, his tone leaving no room for argument “You... I...,” I stammered, trying to find the right words. “The…the driver will be here soon,” I finally managed to say. “I told him not to come today,” Ethan said, his eyes fixed on me as he gestured toward the passenger door. “You did what?” I asked, staring at him in disbelief. “You heard me, Ava. Now get in, Unless…” He paused, his eyes locked on mine, unless you want me to carry you inside the car myself,” he said, his voice calm but firm, his piercing gaze making it clear he wasn’t joking. I blinked at him, that tone—stern, yet teasing—caught me off guard. When was the last time he offered to drive me to work? What has gotten into him today, I thought to myself. “We’re not going

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 66: Teasing her

    Ethan’s POV After a frustrating day at work, I stopped by the store on my way home. Ava hadn’t been feeling well, and I wanted to do something thoughtful for her. Standing in the aisle, I felt completely out of my depth. There were so many options, and I had no idea what she would prefer. So, I grabbed a mix of everything—different products, brands, and even a few essential oils I’d heard were good for cramps. Once I got home, I dropped the shopping bags on the living room couch and headed to the kitchen for some water. That’s when I saw her. Ava was standing in front of the fridge, her head buried inside as she searched for something. She was wearing a simple black pair of shorts and a casual top, nothing fancy. But somehow, even in something so plain, she looked irresistible. I swallowed hard, feeling my heart pick up its pace. Unable to help myself, I walked over and slid my arms around her waist. She didn’t flinch or act surprised. Instead, she let out a soft sigh and lea

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 65: The warning

    Ethan’s POV . It wasn’t easy convincing Ava to stay home today. She kept insisting she was fine, even though I could see how tired she looked this morning. I knew she needed rest. I had to tell her there were important things I needed to handle at the hotel. That was the only way she finally agreed to stay back and rest. When I arrived at the hotel, I headed straight to her office. As soon as I walked in, the sweet scent of her perfume hit me. It was such a comforting scent—one that reminded me of her warmth and presence. I couldn’t help but inhale deeply, letting that scent relax me. I found myself smiling as I walked to her desk. I sat down, leaned back in her chair, and closed my eyes, taking in the peaceful moment. But just as I was about to let my mind drift, the door flew open. Startled, I opened my eyes, annoyed at whoever dared to ruin my moment. I guess as usual, peace doesn’t last long. “Emily, I—” Gabe’s voice stopped mid-sentence when he saw me.I looked at G

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 64: period

    Ethan’s POV I walked into the kitchen and saw her there. She was pouring a smoothie into a glass. It was 4 a.m., way too early for anyone to be awake, but there she was, still wearing her silky nightwear. I couldn’t resist walking closer to her. “Good morning, princess,” I whispered, leaning down by her ear as I wrapped my arms around her waist. I pressed my body gently against her back. She didn’t flinch or look surprised. Instead, she just kept her head down. Usually, she’d smile or be shy, but today something felt different. To cheer her up, I trailed soft kisses along her neck. She reacted slightly but sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping. Now I was worried. Did I upset her? Ava always melted under my touch, but this time her reaction was small, and she looked exhausted. “What’s wrong?” I asked, turning her around to face me. “Nothing. It’s… it’s just…” She paused and placed her hand on her stomach. “You don’t want me touching you?” I asked cautiously. “No!” s

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 63: Did you miss me?

    Ethan's POV It’s been two days since I stayed at the hospital. I didn’t plan to stay this long, but I got caught up reading files. Ava must be worried by now, probably thinking I’m upset with her. The truth is, I trust her. My mind just won’t let me forget what Gabe did. He kissed her. My Ava. That thought alone makes my blood boil. My Ava. The thought made me laugh softly. She wasn’t mine yet, but she would be. Soon. And when she is, no one will dare touch her again. Those soft lips are mine to claim, and when I get back to the office, Gabe will regret ever trying. “What are you doing?” Mr. Robert’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “Nothing,” I said, grinning. “You’re obviously thinking about a woman. You always have that look on your face when you are,” he said knowingly. “It’s not about a woman,” I said quickly, trying to defend myself. “Are you seeing someone?” he pressed, clearly not believing me. “No! I mean… not yet,” I stammered, standing up. “Is she marr

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 62: The hospital

    Ethan’s POV After leaving Ava, I needed to clear my head, so I ended up at the hospital. It was late, and the halls were quiet except for the occasional echo of footsteps. I made my way to Mr. Robert’s office. He wasn’t there, so I let myself in, collapsing onto his couch. I closed my eyes, trying to push away the thoughts of Ava. My mind felt like a tangled mess, and for a moment, I just lay there, letting the silence calm me. “What’s wrong with you?” His voice made me sit up straight, my eyes snapping open. Mr. Robert stood in the doorway, his white coat draped over his arm, looking at me with that familiar mixture of concern and curiosity. “Nothing,” I said quickly, getting to my feet. “It’s late,” he replied, hanging his coat. “Your father wouldn’t be happy about you being here.” I couldn’t help but laugh. “This is my hospital, not his. Besides, I work here too.” I dropped back onto the couch. He stepped closer, his brow furrowed. Without a word, he reached down an
