The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 79: Picnic setup
Ava's POV We walked to the door, and Ethan couldn't stop rubbing my lower back. His hands were driving me crazy. Every touch sent a rush of heat through me, and I could feel my skin tingling beneath his fingers. When we got to his car, he turned me around, pulling me close. His lips captured mine in a kiss I thought would be simple—until he deepened it, slipping his tongue into my mouth. I didn’t hesitate to kiss him back. I’d been dying for those lips, and now that I had them, I didn’t want to let go. When he finally broke free from the kiss, he didn’t stop. His lips trailed over my face, leaving soft, lingering kisses that sent shivers down my spine. “Get inside the car. I have somewhere to take you,” he murmured against my skin, his voice low and commanding. He opened the car door for me, gesturing for me to get in. I was about to slide inside when his hand smacked my ass. The sound echoed in the quiet night, and I gasped, turning to glare at him. Ethan just grinned, h

“Let me do the work. Just relax, and I’ll serve you, my lady,” he said, winking at me. I leaned back, letting him take care of everything. The snacks were delicious, and the wine was rich and smooth, but the best part was the way Ethan kept making me laugh and smile. When we finished, I lay back on the blanket, staring up at the stars while Ethan stepped away for a moment. “Here,” Ethan said, returning with a bundle of clothes in his hands. “Change into this. We’re spending the night here.” He winked at me, his mischievous grin making my heart skip a beat. I took the clothes from him, feeling a sudden rush of nervousness. I didn’t know why the idea of spending the night with Ethan here felt so… intense. After all, I lived with him, but tonight felt different. He didn’t leave, though. He stood there, watching me, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Can you go so I can change?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. “It’s not like I haven’t seen everything before,” he t

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.

Ethan POV It had been over a week since I'd last visited the hospital. Work at the office had been relentless, a constant stream of meetings and reports that left me feeling drained. But I couldn't get the mysterious girl out of my mind - the one I'd pulled from the river that night.I was about to call Mr. Roberts for an update when Noah burst into my office like a human tornado."Dude!" I exclaimed, nearly dropping my phone. "Ever heard of knocking? This isn't your office, you know."Noah grinned, rapping his knuckles on the open door. "Knock knock," he said, way too cheerfully for a Monday morning.I couldn't help but laugh. "Get out of here, you goof."But Noah's smile faded as he flopped into the chair across from me. "Your father called," he said, his tone suddenly serious. "We've got a funeral to attend."I felt a knot form in my stomach. "Whose funeral?""Mr. Brooks."The name didn't mean much to me, but I could tell from Noah's face that it was important. "I'm guessing he wa

Ava woke up feeling confused. Her eyes slowly opened, and everything looked blurry. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of her surroundings. "I'm alive?" she whispered to herself, surprised. She wiggled her toes and fingers, relieved to feel them move. An older man in a white coat stood nearby. He turned to her with a kind smile. "You're awake," he said gently. Ava tried to sit up, but the doctor put a hand on her shoulder. "Take it easy," he said. "Your muscles are weak. You need to rest." The doctor did some quick checks. He shined a light in Ava's eyes, listened to her heart and lungs, and tested her reflexes. He asked her to follow his finger with her eyes and squeeze his hands. "Where am I?" Ava asked, her voice scratchy from not being used. "You're in the hospital," the doctor explained. He stepped back and took out his phone. "She's awake," he said to someone on the other end. Ava's heart started racing. "Please don't call my family!" she begged. She gripped th
Last Updated : 2024-09-07The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 6: A New Home
Ethan's heart raced as he opened the door to Ava's hospital room, his mind filled with a mix of worry and anticipation. The soft sound of the door clicking open caught her attention, and she turned to look at him, her gray eyes sharp but cautious. The sight of her there, sitting up in bed, made him feel like he could breathe again. He tried to play it cool, lifting a shopping bag as if it were no big deal."I got you some clothes," he said, his voice a little too loud in the quiet room. "Mr. Robert says you're good to leave whenever you’re ready."Ava's lips curved into a smile, and for a moment, Ethan felt like the world had shifted under his feet. That smile. It did something to him, something he couldn’t quite name. "Thank you," she replied softly, reaching out to take the bag.As she pulled the clothes from the bag, Ethan’s eyes lingered on them. They seemed too big for her, and he felt a sudden stab of guilt. He’d spent hours the night before browsing different websites, trying t

The Betrayal's kiss chapter 78: The date
Ethan's POV She walked into the restaurant, standing there looking absolutely stunning. I had arranged for the driver to drive her to the hotel where we’d have our date night, a night I had meticulously planned down to the last detail. She was breathtaking. Every part of her, from her carefully styled hair to the way her dress hugged her figure, seemed designed to drive me wild. All I could think of was pulling her into my arms and holding her close. As she moved toward me, her perfume filled my senses—a mix of sweetness and temptation that made her utterly irresistible. It was intoxicating, the kind of scent that lingered and made you want more. When she finally reached me, I leaned in to give her a light kiss on the cheek. "You smell so good," I murmured, my lips brushing her ear as I leaned closer, taking in her scent. Her cheeks flushed a deep pink, and her eyes sparkled under the dim lighting. "You smell so... edible right now," she murmured. Then her eyes widened, and
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 77: The dress
Ethan walked to Ava's door and gave it a light knock before gently opening it. “Are you sleeping?” he asked in a low tone. “No,” Ava answered, sitting up from her bed. “I… I just wanted to check up on you before I sleep,” Ethan said, moving closer to her. “I’m fine,” Ava said, smiling. “I think I should head to my room now,” Ethan said, pointing at the door. He walked toward Ava and gave her a light kiss. “Good night, princess,” he whispered softly before walking out of her room. Ava’s heart raced as she watched him go, her lips still tingling from his kiss. She was about to lie back down when the door creaked open again. Ethan stepped back in, his expression serious but warm. Ava looked up, surprised to see him back. “And Ava, I really meant what I said earlier in the kitchen.” “I know,” Ava said, unable to hold back her smile anymore. “So, we have a date tomorrow?” she asked, unable to hide her excitement. “Yes, princess,” Ethan said, smirking at her before
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 76: Asking her out
Ethan's POV She stepped closer, her eyes fixed on me before she spread her hands and wrapped them around my waist, hugging me, her head resting against my chest. I hugged her back tightly, inhaling her intoxicating scent—a mix of vanilla and something uniquely hers. She smells so good, making me relax. This was what I’ve been longing for since today. “You smell so good,” I murmured. She giggled and wrapped her hands very tightly, making me smile. “You can hug me whenever you want to,” she said as she raised her head to look at me, her hands still wrapped around my waist. “Yes, my queen,” I said in a more teasing tone. Her blush deepened, but she didn’t pull away. “I know you’re not playing with my feelings,” she said softly. “You care about me, and I trust you.” God really brought an angel to my doorstep this time because tell me how someone can be this beautiful, calm, understanding, and loving. “Will you go out on a date with me?” I asked. I can’t hold it back anymor
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 75: Can I hug you?
Ethan's POV I got home and went straight to the kitchen. I know she was going to be there; I know how much she loves her food despite the weight loss journey, but she now eats in a more healthy way unlike before. I walked inside and saw her; she was munching on her salad. She was looking effortlessly beautiful. After the incident with Victoria, I never feel so interested in a woman other than taking them to a hotel to satisfy myself at the moment. Relationships seemed pointless, and I’d limited my interactions to meaningless flings. I felt like women are not worth trusting because of how betrayed I felt. But Ava… she was different. Without trying, she shattered my walls just by being herself. Those contagious smiles, her calm spirit, in fact, everything about her just feels so attractive. Every bad day, I just need to see her face alone to feel relaxed. I know how stubborn I can be, but she's actually that safe haven I was longing for. “Are you just going to stand there and
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 74: Anger
Noah grinned as they walked out of the meeting room. "I bet Uncle will be thrilled you got the deal," he said, his voice full of excitement. Ethan turned and shot him a glare, saying nothing as he walked toward his office. "Relax, man. This isn’t the time to act all grumpy," Noah teased, jogging to catch up. "I knew you’d get the deal for us," Noah continued, throwing an arm around Ethan’s shoulder and playfully ruffling his hair. "I’m so proud of you, bro." They had just secured a major deal that would strengthen the company’s position even further. "Don’t you think we should go to your mom’s restaurant to celebrate?" Noah suggested, still clinging to Ethan like a kid. "Let go of me, man. We’re at work, and people are watching," Ethan muttered, attempting to shake him off. Noah turned his head and noticed several employees glancing their way, some even giggling"Back to work!" Noah barked, quickly releasing Ethan and patting his back awkwardly. Noah gave the staff
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 73: Sophie
Sophie stormed into Gabe’s office, her face was full of anger. She shoved the door open with so much force that it banged against the wall, causing Gabe to flinch. “Sophie?” Gabe said, his voice tinged with both surprise and nervousness. “I… I wasn’t expecting you, darling,” he stammered, quickly setting down the papers he has been working on. She didn’t respond. Instead, she walked straight to the window and pulled down the blinds with a sharp tug, blocking any view from the outside. Her heels clicked against the floor as she approached Gabe, who was sitting at his desk with some paperwork in his hands.“Wh…what are you doing?” Gabe began, but before he could finish, Sophie snatched the papers from his hands and leaned in, planting a forceful, rough kiss on his lips.The kiss caught him off guard, and when she finally pulled back, she wiped the smear of lipstick from the corner of his mouth."You’re mine, Gabe. she whispered firmly. “Always mine.” Gabe straightened in his cha
The Betrayal's kiss Chapter 72: The warning
Ava’s POV I opened the door to my office and froze. Sophie. She was lounging comfortably in my chair, her legs casually crossed on my desk like she owned the place. "Sophie?" I whispered, my voice barely audible. I felt a rush of confusion and surprise wash over me.She tilted her head, a smirk playing on her lips. “Well, well, well… look who just walked in,” she said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. Her sharp gaze raked over me, scanning from head to toe as if I were a specimen under her microscope. I shut the door behind me, my unease growing. “New contact lenses?” she asked, her smile deepening. “I suppose that’s why he can’t take his eyes off you.” My stomach dropped. Damn it! I had forgotten to put on my usual lenses, leaving my natural gray eyes exposed. Her smirk turned into a frown, her voice now tinged with venom. “Those gray eyes remind me of my dead best friend. They look just like hers. Maybe that’s why I can never be cool with you.” I swallowed t
