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

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

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

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

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

Ava's POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, turning from side to side. The wedding dress hugged my body tightly, maybe too tightly. I frowned, pulling at the fabric."Ava, you look amazing in that dress!" my best friend Sophie said, her eyes wide. "Just look at you!"I looked at myself again, still not happy. "I look fat, don't you think?" I asked, pinching at my sides.Sophie laughed and came closer. She put her hands on my shoulders and turned me to face the mirror again. "Look carefully," she said. "All I see is a very beautiful bride-to-be."Just then, someone walked into the room. I turned and saw it was my stepmom, Grace. My heart sank a little."What are you doing here, Grace?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "I came to see how beautiful my daughter looks," she said."Your stepdaughter," I corrected her quickly.Grace came closer, her eyes moving over the dress. "Look how beautiful these dresses are," she said. "They were

Ava's POV My heart was pounding as I rushed into the elevator, pressing the button for the top floor over and over. I needed to get to Dad's office. My whole world had fallen apart in just a few hours, and I needed something solid to hold onto.The elevator doors finally opened, and I stumbled out. Dad's office took up the entire top floor of the building - the penthouse suite, as he liked to call it. The view from up here was usually breathtaking, but today I barely noticed it.I was relieved to find the office empty. Wiping my tears, I went straight to Dad's desk. I had to find that contract - the one I'd begged him to sign. It said that once I got married, Gabe would take my place as the acting chairperson of the company.How could I have been so blind? Dad never liked Gabe, but I thought he was just being overprotective. Now I understand. But even knowing what Gabe had done, my heart still ached. I loved him so much. How could he betray me like this?I rifled through the drawers,

Ethan POV The argument with my father left a bitter taste in my mouth. I stormed out of his office, my hands shaking as I got into my car. I needed to clear my head, and I knew just the place.I drove to the bridge - my secret spot. Well, not so secret. My friends and I had been coming here since we were teenagers, sneaking beers and dreaming about our futures. Now, years later, I was the only one who still came. But I couldn't help it. Something about the smell of the water, the gentle breeze - it calmed me like nothing else could.I parked under the bridge and climbed onto the hood of my car. The metal was cool against my back as I lay there, staring up at the underside of the bridge. I turned up the music in my car, letting it wash over me. For a moment, I could forget about my father's expectations, the pressure of the family business, all of it.Then I heard it. A loud crash, followed by the unmistakable sound of a car hitting water. I sat up so fast I almost slid off the hood.

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
