All Chapters of FALLING FOR FOREVER : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 43: The Push and PullEthan sat at the head of the Cole Enterprises conference table, his presence dominating the room. Executives shuffled papers nervously, Jake worked tirelessly to keep the flow of the meeting smooth, and the entire board tried to avoid direct eye contact with their notoriously sharp CEO. Olivia, sitting quietly at the far end, observed the man she was falling for in his natural habitat. Ethan was sharp, calculating, and undeniably magnetic. He fielded questions with precision, dismissed weak arguments without mercy, and laid out his strategy like a master tactician. When the meeting ended, the executives practically fled the room, their tension almost palpable. Olivia remained seated, sipping her coffee as Ethan leaned back in his chair, loosening his tie. “You didn’t have to terrify them, you know,” she teased, raising an eyebrow. Ethan smirked. “Terrified people tend to work harder.” “Or quit,” Olivia countered, her lips twitching in amusement.

Chapter 45: Tangled in Hearts Olivia stretched lazily under the soft sheets of Ethan’s bed, savoring the rare tranquility of the morning. The penthouse was eerily quiet, save for the faint hum of the city below. She reached over to check her phone on the bedside table, only to find it missing. “Looking for this?” Ethan’s deep voice startled her. She sat up abruptly, clutching the sheets to her chest, to find him standing by the door. He held her phone in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, his smirk impossible to miss. “Ethan!” she exclaimed, her cheeks flushing. “Why are you snooping around with my phone?” “I wasn’t snooping.” He set the coffee on her side of the bed, looking far too pleased with himself. “It was buzzing nonstop, so I figured I’d rescue you from the chaos.” She grabbed the phone, scrolling through a stream of notifications. Emails, social media tags, and text messages—half of them were about her and Ethan. “Rescue me or spy on me?” she shot back, r

Chapter 47: Unpredictable SurprisesOlivia stepped out of the office into the cool evening air, glad the day was over. Her mind was still replaying Ethan’s text messages from earlier, short, teasing lines that left her both annoyed and secretly delighted.Her phone buzzed again.Ethan: Be ready at 7. No excuses.She frowned at the message, already imagining his smug grin as he typed it.Olivia: Be ready for what?Ethan: Just trust me.Her frown deepened, but a tiny thrill zipped through her. Ethan wasn’t the type to make idle plans. Whatever he had in mind, it would be far from ordinary.At exactly 7 PM, Olivia heard the sound of a car pulling up outside her apartment. She peered out the window and groaned when she saw Ethan stepping out of a sleek black SUV, looking as effortlessly handsome as ever in a tailored navy suit.With no other choice, she grabbed her coat and bag, muttering to herself, “He could have at least warned me properly.”Ethan was waiting by the car, his expression

Chapter 48: Confessions in the MoonlightThe evening air was crisp, and the stars twinkled against the velvet sky as Ethan and Olivia strolled along the quiet path outside her apartment building. Olivia still couldn’t stop giggling as she recounted Ethan’s disastrous cooking attempt, her cheeks flushed with happiness.“Who knew the great Ethan Cole could be so clumsy?” she teased, nudging him playfully.Ethan shot her a mock glare. “That’s rich coming from someone who turned pasta into a projectile weapon.”Olivia burst into laughter again, and Ethan found himself smiling despite his faux annoyance. Her laughter was infectious, her joy so genuine that it chipped away at the fortress he’d built around himself for years.“Okay, okay,” Olivia said, holding up her hands in surrender. “We both suck at cooking. Let’s call it a draw.”“A draw?” Ethan raised a brow. “You mean I won.”“In your dreams,” she quipped, sticking out her tongue.They reached the steps leading to Olivia’s apartment,

Chapter 50: Unraveling SecretsThe quiet hum of the city’s nightlife filled the room as Olivia settled on the couch, flipping through a script Lily had dropped off earlier that day. Ethan, leaning casually against the window, sipped his whiskey, his sharp gaze fixed on the shimmering skyline.“You’ve been brooding since you got back,” Olivia said, not looking up from her script. “What happened?”Ethan turned, his piercing eyes locking onto hers. “Nathan Blackwell happened.”Olivia placed the script on the coffee table, giving him her full attention. “You mean your so-called rival? The one who loves playing mind games?”Ethan nodded, his expression dark. “He’s not just trying to steal business deals. He’s targeting you now, Olivia. He thinks he can use you to get to me.”Olivia frowned, leaning back on the couch. “Ethan, you know I’d never let that happen.”“I know,” Ethan said, setting his glass down and walking toward her. “But Nathan doesn’t fight fair. He’ll do whatever it takes to
