Julianna's POVEven with the lights still on, I can't sleep. My body is sensitive to new places, and my mind won't stop replaying today's events. Should I start with the stress of being called in the middle of my sleep or the tension I walked into at Ethan's family home?From the looks of things, this family is….complicated, especially his mother, she wasn't just cold–she was hostile. The way she looked at him–like he wasn't her son but a stranger she despised. It's unsettling, Ethan has her features but the obvious tension between the mother and son is strong.Was I worried about him? Not. But I couldn't help being curious about…“I'm sorry… I'm sorry…”The sudden words pulled me out of my thoughts. I sat up and turned to the sound.The sight I saw was…disturbing. Ethan was clutching the bedcovers like his life depended on it, his face twisted in pain. Sweat covered his forehead and his breathing was heavy. He looked like a completely different person at that moment.I stood up from

Ethan's POV I watched her for a while as she entered her apartment. I subconsciously touched my cheeks where she had hit me. The sting on my cheek from the slap lingered. But it wasn't the pain that bothered me, it was the audacity. I clenched my Jaw as if trying to suppress my irritation. With a sigh, I turned on the engine and drove home.The penthouse was silent as I stepped inside. I took off my Jacket and loosened my tie, hanging them neatly in the closet. A hot shower did little to ease the heaviness. Dressed in a blue rope, I headed to the library, where my laptop waited for an online meeting.The moment the call connected. The faces of executives and international partners appeared on the screen.“Mr. Ethan,” one of them began, his tone formal. “Nexus Global International’s reputation is getting more pleasant to hear every single day.As the largest oil and Gas corporation in New York–one of the most influential worldwide. The success of your recent offshore project speaks

Chapter 19Julianna's POV I got into my room, turned on the light, and jumped on the bed without changing out my outfit. Staring at the ceiling, I began to replay today's events– the dinner party, the exposure to the media, and the discomfort I felt. I didn't belong in a world where wealth and power defined everything, I can't be in a world where Ethan rules. For a moment, I felt like I'm losing myself which makes me feel pathetic.Closing my eyes, I drifted into sleep with the lights still on.***I found myself in the middle of a street, hands stained with blood, my breath caught in my throat as I stared at the figure lying on the ground–my mum.“Mum…” I choked, as tears flooded my eyes.“Julia…nna…” she croaked as she trembled in pain.“Mum,” please don't talk. You're losing so much blood… someone helps!” my voice cracked as I looked desperately at the car that had hit her. The glass was tinted, and the driver was still inside. I ran to the car, banging on the glass desperately.

Chapter 18Ethan's POVWhat are you doing here? I asked, my voice cold as I clenched my fists, trying to keep my composure.Raphael leaned casually against the table, his grin was as annoying as ever. ‘’Show some respect, I’m your brother,’’ he said, wearing his sunglasses as if the dinner wasn’t already ruined by his presence. ‘’It would be surprising if I were left out of this dinner.’’‘’You weren’t invited,’’ I replied curtly.His grin widened, and he turned to Julianna, who stood silently beside me, her eyes looking between us. ‘’Nice ring for such nice fingers,’’ he said as he tried to touch her hands which Julianna flung away subtly with a silent hiss.‘’Thanks,’’ Julianna replied tightly, her polite smile doing little to mask how uncomfortable she felt. She glanced at me briefly before focusing on Raphael, her posture awkward.‘’You have a unique..taste, Ethan, Raphael winked as he stared at our joint hands.I moved a little bit closer to him as he stared at me with entertain

Ethan's POV“Prepare for the dinner bouquet tonight.” I said then hung up before she could think of saying another word and stared at the headlines again. A small smirk at the corners of my lips. My phone buzzed, pulling me out of my thoughts. I answered it, already knowing who it was. “Who is the lady?!”Annabel screamed so loudly which made me wince and pulled the phone away from my ear.“Don't tell me that's the reason you called?’’ I asked, my voice laced with irritation.“Of course,...you’ve been sehen with women before, but definitely not like this.Who's she? Dad’s also curious– he had to cut his trip short because of the rumors.”I sighed and let the silence lingered.“Ethan? Are you still there?” she asked, her voice softer now, cautious. “Yes, I'm here,” I said, clearing my throat. “Annabel, the news isn't something to worry about. It's not just a rumor.”She went silent for a while, making me get irritated every passing second.“Since there's clearly nothing meaningful

Julianna's POVHenry was sitting up in bed, eating his lunch. The color was slowly returning to his cheeks, though he still looked weak.The door opened, and Dr. Matthew walked in with a clipboard in his hand and a warm smile. His calm expression immediately puts me at ease.“How are we doing today, Henry?” he asked, ruffling Henry's hair.Henry groaned but smiled. “I'm okay, Sir.”Dr. Matthew nodded as he flipped through the notes on his clipboard. “That’s good to hear. Your surgery was a success, but you need to recover fully before you are allowed to get discharged. You need to rest and avoid stress for the next few weeks. No screens for long periods, No video games, and definitely no football. “Understood?”Henry gave a small nod, glancing at me for reassurance. I smiled and squeezed his hand.The doctor turned his attention to me. “Miss. Adams, it's important he sticks to a proper routine–healthy meals, lot of water and rest. We”ll do a follow-up brain scan in two weeks to moni

Chapter 15Ethan's POV I walked out of the club, heading straight to my car. The cool night air did little to distract me as I slide into the driver's seat and started the engine. My phone buzzed, and I plugged in my earphones.“Speak,” I said.“Henry's awake, Sir.” Jane informed me.“Alright,” I replied then ended the call without a second thought.When I got home, I followed my usual routine: a quick shower, a glance at the files on my desk. Hours passed as I worked through the night, my mind clear and focused. It was better than dealing with the haunting nightmares.*****The next morning, Nexus demanded my attention as always. The day was filled with meetings and phone calls until my watch struck five.I picked up my phone and dialed Julianna's number. The line rang, but there was no answer. I frowned slightly and called again. Still nothing.Without hesitation, I grabbed my keys and left the office. The drive to the hospital was quick.When I arrived, I walked straight th

Chapter 14: Ethan's POV Her eyes burned with hatred as she stared at me, her emotions laid bare for anyone to see. When I said what needed to be said, she scoffed and turned away, her movement sharp as if distancing herself from me would erase the truth. That look in her eyes said it all–she despised me. Mutual, I thought coldly and that was precisely why I chose her to be my wife.It wasn't love, attraction or even affection that brought us here. This was a calculated decision. If I had to pick between my company crumbling under the weight of these ridiculous rumors about my sexuality or tying myself to a woman I couldn't stand, the choice was simple. Marriage, even a fake one was less evil.I watched her every movement for a moment longer and was curious to know what was going on in her head. She hated me now, but would she back out of the deal?I doubted it.A deal was a deal, and Julianna Adams didn't strike me as the kind of person who would abandon her brother's life

Julianna's POV “Code Blue!” We’re losing him!.” The words echoed through the hallway, freezing me in place. My heart dropped as I dashed towards the operating room, only to be stopped by a nurse blocking the door. “Please,” i begged, tears streaming down my face. “He’s my brother. He needs me! The nurse smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry ma’am, you can't go in. Let the doctors do their work. I stepped back, trembling. My heart raced as I try to catch my breath, my gaze fixed on the transparent glass window as though my desperate gaze could save Henry. Then I saw him–Ethan walking in as if he owned the place. Beside him was an older man with a composed yet commanding presence. Without a word, the man smiled at me and entered the operating room. “Who is that”? I questioned the nurse who looked shocked. She regained her composure, “Dr. Anderson. One of the best surgeons in the country. If anyone can guarantee your brother's successful surgery, it's him.” I felt instant relief

Chapter 1: First impressions
Julianna’s povBalancing the weight of the tray on my shoulder, I make my way through the crowded Golden Bistro, a restaurant frequented by the city’s wealthiest, known for its infamous dishes. It's only my first week working here.’’ Tonight, the place is busier than usual. As I worked my way around a table, I bumped into a solid figure, causing the wine to spill on him and the floor, shattering glasses and dishes in the process.‘’Oh my God. I’m so sorry’’. I stammer, biting my lips in nervousness while avoiding eye contact with the man I believe is glaring at me.The man barely moves but glances down at his now-stained suit with a look of pure disgust. ‘’Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?’’ He asks coldly, glancing at the stain on his suit once again. He shakes his head slightly, his eyes narrowing as they sweep over me. ‘’How do you even expect to keep a job here when you can’t manage something as simple as carrying a tray? Pathetic’’.My chest tightens with a mix of ange...
