Chapter 140: NOT ALL REQUEST CAN BE GRANTED.

Ethan’s fingers tapped rhythmically against his phone as he made the call to secure a penthouse in the city. He arranged for security to pick them up, ensuring everything was in place before ending the call with a sigh. As they waited for the transport, tension hung in the air between him and Brandon, neither speaking as the weight of the night bore down on them.When the security detail finally arrived, Ethan gestured for Brandon to follow him out. They settled into the armored car, the hum of the engine a stark contrast to the whirlwind of thoughts that raced through Ethan’s mind. He couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that they were being watched, the invisible threat lurking somewhere beyond his reach.Once they arrived at the penthouse, Ethan checked every room, inspecting the locks and security systems while Brandon stood by, watching him with concern. The luxury of the place did nothing to ease the tension between them, and as the night stretched on, Ethan couldn’t sleep. He sta

Chapter 141: THE HEAT.

The flight back to Seattle was tense, a suffocating silence wrapping itself around Ethan and Brandon. Ethan's jaw clenched as he stared out the window, feeling the weight of unspoken words between them. Brandon's fingers drummed against his knee, his heart racing with worry. Neither had said much since they boarded the plane, the air thick with something more than just unease.Once they arrived, there was no time to waste. Brandon led the way, marching into the house with Ethan trailing close behind. His steps were hurried, each footfall heavy with anxiety. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was happening behind that closed door, where his sister had isolated herself for days.They stopped outside Britney’s room. Brandon leaned against the door, his forehead pressed to the wood, as if hoping to feel her presence through it. He knocked softly, his voice trembling with desperation. "Britney, I don't know what's going on, but please... open the door. It's me."There wa

Chapter 142: THE BROKEN SHELL OF LOVERS.

Ethan’s gaze was sharp as he stood over Brandon, making it clear that he only wanted the truth and no more shenanigans. His words cut deep, each syllable designed to wound."What's going on, Brandon? Don’t even think about lying to me. We promised each other honesty, right?" Ethan’s voice was cold, laced with suspicion.Brandon’s jaw tightened, Ethan’s distrust obvious. His pulse quickened as he felt the accusation in Ethan’s tone. "I don’t think you’re in any position to say that to me," Brandon shot back, his voice trembling with frustration and hurt. "You’ve been dishonest with me about so many things. You make secret calls, and there’s so much about you I don’t know. I think falling in love with you was a mistake."Ethan’s expression hardened, the usual warmth in his eyes replaced by anger. "Not this bull crap again, Brandon. Are you really this foolish? You don’t know how to regulate your emotions?" His voice rose, the irritation clear. "Do you think this is the time to play love

Chapter 143: TOUGH MEAT.

Ethan stepped out of Brandon’s apartment, the late afternoon sun harsh against his skin. His footsteps moved in the stillness, each step deliberate as he braced himself. At the end of the driveway, the black van waited, just like the phone call had said. A few of his security men stood nearby, Carter at the forefront, arms crossed over his chest.As Ethan approached, Carter moved in. "How come none of you saw Britney leave?" Ethan asked. He was very much displeased with all of them.Carter shifted on his feet, glancing at the others before speaking. "She didn’t come through this way. We would’ve caught her if she had.""It’s broad daylight, and you’re telling me this happened? That a tiny girl disappeared without a trace? Is she a ghost?""Sir, it’s simply that way. We didn’t see her."Ethan gave a tight nod, his mind fixed ahead on the van. He didn’t want to continue the conversation. Britney had managed to slip past all of them, but there were bigger things on his plate right now.H

Chapter 144: THE BLAST.

"Looks like Mr. Asher hasn’t been entirely upfront with us," Amira’s voice rang out, her smile sharp and knowing. The camera zoomed in on her, catching the glint in her eyes as she continued, live for all to see. "We’ve just received some evidence that’s going to turn everything upside down. Sit tight, because the truth is about to come out."Ethan’s heart nearly stopped. His chest tightened, and the heat from the studio lights felt like needles against his skin. On the massive screen behind Amira, videos and photos of him with Brandon appeared—each private moment, every touch, every stolen glance, now displayed for the entire world to witness. It was like being laid bare, every piece of his secret life exposed.Brandon. The name echoed through Ethan’s mind, a torrent of betrayal and rage flooding his chest. "Why would he do this?" The thought tore at him as he bolted from the studio, his pulse thudding in his ears, matching the frantic rhythm of his footsteps.Outside, his eyes lande

Chapter 147: THE LOOPHOLE.

It was so cruel how the world moved on without you. No pause for your absence, no regard for the empty space you left behind. Life marched on relentlessly, indifferent to the loss that consumed you. Ethan had learned that harsh lesson too well in the past three months.Three months of pain. Three months of searching. Three months of alcohol—every glass draining just a little more of his already hollow soul. It never dulled the hurt, but at least it kept him numb enough to function. The news of Becky, Tracey, Alexander, and so many others dying in the bomb blast shattered something deep inside him.Becky's death cut deepest. Though he'd never openly acknowledged it, she'd been more than just an employee. Her bright laughter and playful jabs had chipped away at his defenses, earning her a special place in his hardened heart. Her unwavering competence, loyalty, and compassion had made her an invaluable asset, but it was her kindness that had truly resonated with him.Becky treated everyo

Chapter 148: THE CAGE.

"I'm thirsty," Brandon mumbled, his voice hoarse from days of dehydration.Yes, we all thought he was dead. Turns out, he was barely alive.Penelope, ever eager to care for him in her twisted way, grabbed a bottle of water. "Let me help you with it," she offered, her voice sickly sweet as she bent down to place the top of the bottle against his cracked lips.Brandon snatched it from her. "Don't touch me, you filthy whore!" he spat, his voice weak.Penelope's face tightened for a moment, but she forced a calm smile. "You know I've been faithful to you. And, I would be faithful to you forever. Don't make me out to be the bad person here."Sneering, Brandon glared at her. "Aren't you a horrible person?" His voice was low, filled with a contempt that had grown like a wildfire over the past few months.Penelope shook her head, her eyes wide with feigned innocence. "No, I'm not. I’m just in love with you.""You must be mad," Brandon growled. "You cheated on me and then married someone else.

Chapter 149: DIRTY DINNER.

As Brandon stood under the hot spray of water, letting it wash over his gaunt, malnourished body, all he could think about was Ethan. The man who had once held his trust so completely, who he thought was the one betrayed him. Worse of all, he kept questioning himself if Ethan was behind the explosion.The thought was dirty to accept, twisting his stomach into painful knots. The very reason Ethan had confined him in the house now seemed to carry darker undertones. Maybe Ethan wanted him gone—along with their secret.Maybe Ethan thought that if Brandon disappeared, buried under the ashes of that house, no one would ever know the truth. Their love would die in silence, forgotten by the world. Ethan had betrayed him before but going to this extent? The doubt plagued Brandon day and night.As the water streamed down his face, mixing with his tears, Brandon’s mind overturned with questions that had no answers. What had he been fighting for all this time? Why did he make those rash decisions
