The Billionaire's Serendipitous Love Chapter 56
Ethan's POV "I can't believe her," I thought to myself, shaking my head in disbelief as I sat on the couch, still trying to process the chaos that had just ensued. One minute we were having a decent conversation, and the next, she was tumbling into the pool, phone and all. I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. I had never seen someone so careless and accident-prone in my life. And to top it off, she had the nerve to call me by my last name, Smith, like she was trying to get under my skin. I sighed heavily, wondering how I was going to put up with her for the rest of the evening. I grudgingly admitted to myself that despite my frustration, I couldn't ignore the sight of her shivering like a leaf. Something about it tugged at me, and I found myself wanting to help her, even if I didn't want to admit it. "No, Ethan, don't be ridiculous," I thought, chastising myself for even considering making her a hot coffee. But the image of her shivering persisted, and I reluctantly r

Ethan's POV I stamped my feet in frustration, feeling like a child again, trapped in a web of family expectations and obligations. "Why does it always have to be like this?!" I muttered to myself, frustration boiling over. I was getting fed up with all this. I felt like I was living in a never-ending drama, with my mom pulling the strings and me dancing to her tune. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but my anger and resentment lingered, refusing to be extinguished I knew I had no choice but to go along with my mom's plan. I had to find a way to ask Emily to pretend to be my wife, even though we had only attended a dinner together once before, and she had been there as my assistant. I was worried that asking her to play along with this charade would be awkward, but I had no other options. As I walked into the hotel apartment, I couldn't ignore the rumbling protests from my stomach. I had been so caught up in the evening's events that I had forgotten to eat dinner! I he

Ethan's POV The uncomfortable truth hit me like a ton of bricks. Maybe I was indeed sugarcoating my words to spare her feelings. In reality, Emily wasn't someone who particularly stood out to me, neither positively nor negatively. She was, as I thought to myself, simply average. But in that moment, I realized that my honesty, or lack thereof, wasn't what mattered. What mattered was that Emily was hurting, and she needed someone to acknowledge her pain, even if I didn't truly believe she was "amazing". I took a deep breath, deciding to focus on being present for her, rather than trying to convince her of something she didn't believe herself. My eyes scanned the room, desperate for a way to rescue our conversation from the awkward abyss. And then, I spotted it - a tiny opening to pry open the door to understanding. "Why do you think there's a chance your mom, boyfriend, and best friend just don't...get it?" My voice was a gentle probe, trying to coax her into sharing her thought

Ethan's POV I carried the food to the dining table and headed back to the room where Emily was still sitting, looking vulnerable and hurt. I didn't feel like continuing our intense conversation, but I couldn't just ignore her either. She had been pouring her heart out to me, and it would be a jerk move to just walk away. So, I took a deep breath, trying to muster up some empathy, and sat down beside her, hoping we could find a way to move forward, even if it was just a silent meal together. The silence was suffocating, so I tried to break it with a lighthearted comment. "Hey, I'm starving! I ordered dinner, want to join me?" But she just shook her head, her eyes still red from crying. I persisted. "Come on, you should eat something, you look weak." She gazed into my eyes, her hands extended, asking for my help to get up from the bed. I gently lifted her, supporting her frail body as we walked to the dining table together, the tension between us palpable but also, somehow

Ethan's POV I stepped out of the hotel apartment and into the warm night, my emotions in disarray. I wandered, lost in a sea of thoughts and feelings, as the hotel lights blurred together around me. The sounds of laughter and music filled the air but only served to heighten my sense of isolation. I felt like a ghost, invisible and alone, without purpose or direction. My mind raced with memories of Ava's words, and her rejection, leaving me wondering what I had done wrong and what I could have done differently. Ava's betrayal had shattered me to the core, leaving my heart in pieces and my entire existence in ruins. It wasn't just a romantic relationship that had ended; it felt like my whole world had come crashing down. Every memory, every dream, every hope I had tied to her was now tainted with pain and sorrow. The heartbreak was all-consuming, leaving me feeling lost. To the outside world, I was a paragon of perfection, always excelling and achieving. But behind the mask of confid

Ethan's POV Shall we get started? I asked Emily My eyes never leaving hers. She nodded, her eyes never leaving mine, and together we navigated the crowded room. I could feel the weight of their gaze on me, sense the unspoken questions lingering in the air. I knew they were curious about my motives. But I wasn't ready to reveal my hand just yet. As we made our way through the throng of people, I couldn't help but notice the way Emily moved with grace and precision, her eyes scanning the room with a quiet intensity. We finally reached the main stage, where the symposium's keynote speaker was holding court. I took my place at the podium, my eyes locking onto the crowd as I began to speak. My words were met with a sea of nodding heads and thoughtful expressions, but I knew that the real challenge lay ahead. As I finished my speech and the crowd erupted into applause, I turned to Emily, my eyes searching for a glimmer of understanding. And for a moment, I thought I saw it - a fli

Emily's POV As I stood there, surrounded by the opulence of the hotel apartment, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Ethan's embrace had been a balm to my frazzled nerves, his words of encouragement a soothing salve to my battered soul. I pulled back, my eyes locking onto his, and for a moment, I saw something there that gave me hope. It was a glimmer of understanding, a spark of connection that went beyond mere employer and employee. "Thank you, Ethan," I whispered, my voice barely audible. " He nodded, his eyes never leaving mine, and I felt a sense of safety in his presence. It was a strange feeling, one that I couldn't quite explain, but it was there nonetheless.

Emily's POV "Maybe I'll join you after I whip up dinner." I tried to sound casual despite the tension between us. Ethan's expression remained unyielding. "You don't have to bother, the cooks are resuming their duties today." "Okay, sir." we went our separate ways, the distance between us felt like an unresolved question hanging in the air. The conversation was stilted and awkward, with Ethan's curt responses and formal address making me feel like an outsider. The tension between us was palpable, and I couldn't help but wonder what was driving his distant behavior. The exchange felt like a forced dance, with both of us moving through the motions but lacking any real connection or warmth. As we parted ways, I was left with a lingering sense of discomfort and unease. As I entered my room, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I collapsed onto the bed, surrendering to the exhaustion that had been building up. Despite my initial resistance to returning, I was secretly r

EMILY'S POV Liam's eyes darted around the space, his gaze lingering on every corner as if expecting someone to emerge from the shadows before finally settling on me to ask, "Did Ava speak harshly to you?” “No,” I replied, my voice firm so he couldn't see right through me, but unfortunately he did because I met a skeptical look on his face. “Emily,” he called, his voice gentle as always, "Are you hiding anything from me?" he added. His eyes locked on mine with an intense gaze. “I'm not.” I needed to be out of her. My body was here, but my mind and soul were with someone who cared least about me. I realized at that moment I was in love with Ethan. I had always known that, but what I just discovered was the connection between me and Liam-Lust. I didn't know how to put it. I didn't know how to tell him why I was giddy with excitement whenever he was around.

I had specifically warned Emily to keep our arrangement private, and yet, here she was, meeting with...him. I narrowed my eyes, my mind racing with possibilities. What were they discussing? And why did Emily feel the need to sneak around behind my back? I made a mental note to confront Liam about this later, my eyes never leaving the fading tail lights of his car.The anger simmered beneath my surface, a slow-burning fire that threatened to consume me. I couldn't believe she would kiss me, pretend to have feelings for me, when all along she was still entangled with Liam.

The way he hangs on your every word."Ava's words hung in the air, her implication clear. I felt a surge of indignation, but I kept my tone level. "I don't know what you're insinuating, Ava," I said, "but I assure you, nothing is going on between Ethan and me."Ava's smile was a cold, calculated thing.
