Talia was long gone....right from the moment he'd whispered in her ears. Her heart thundered in her chest. Her chestwalls tightened with every breathe. She felt lightheaded. Everyone turned to her, the obvious question dancing on their faces. Talia stood frozen in time unable to say a word, her gaze completely locked in on the one man she'd silently prayed for throughout the past five years.The very eyes she loved to get lost in stared right back at her, confusion and shock laced his gaze."do you know her, son?" his mom's voice sliced through, every ear anticipating his answer.For a second or two, Ethan didn't reply. He slowly blinked, composed himself and turned to his mom with a smile. "No.. No.. Not really"."you just called her name.." Bianca fumed."her name?" he feigned ignorance. "yeah! You said Lia"."I don't think I did" he chuckled and took his seat beside his younger sister who was quick to lean in and whisper... "You're so spilling later..."Bianca glared daggers at Ta

He was quick to dodge. His eyes widening at his neardeath."Hey!!!!!" he turned to her in a half-yell, but before he could have a say, she grabbed her heels and bolted out the door. His eyes returned to the shattered glass. Is heart thudding loudly with each beat.. "is she a baseball player or what?" he scoffed at her perfect throw and slowly climbed out the water. The light that once illuminated the pool water seemed to focus solely on him. The water dripped from his wet hair cascading down his abs and torso. He obviously didn't skip leg day at the gym either. Every part of him was perfect. He grabbed the towel he'd laid down on one of the pool chairs, his crystal ocean eyes travelled back to the door she'd bolted through. He'd seen her appear before the door, trying to make out what laid beyond the glass doors before pushing the door open. That was when he dived to the bottom of the pool. All he needed was minutes alone before he'd head in for the party. His mind was crowded mo

At the Deventon airport, his plane had landed. He slowly opened his eyes, his face void of expression. His family had come home a week ago which he should have been part of them, but he just couldn't bring himself to this town. With lies of extra work, Ethan Reed locked himself away in the office, mentally preparing himself for this visit he could not miss, yet even as he stared out the plane's window, the memories flooded in with a rush.. Why, of all cities, would his grandfather choose to settle here?! Why Deventon?! This city had left a permanent scar in his heart and as his feet touched the ground away from the plane, Ethan shielded his eyes with darker shades. A black face cap sat on his head and he walked away to get his luggage. Five years ago he was in this city, and the day he left, that same day he vowed never to return. His phone rang in his pocket, the screen boldly displaying MOM. He swiped green. "You're not planning on skipping grandpa's birthday are you?"Ethan

FIVE YEARS LATER.... The Reed family ranked fifth richest in the world and today.... They're hosting their patriarch's 80th birthday. The old man is a known philanthropist and he chose to hold his grand celebration with the kids at an orphanage down in Deventon. For years, the number one medical center in Deventon had remained the Sanderson's family owned hospital. And thankfully, their hospital was chosen to accompany him to administer free health care services to the poor children. They would do that during the day and for the night afterparty, it was to be held in his new retirement mansion here in Deventon as well.The Reeds owned the largest private equity firm and the Sandersons was looking to have them invest in the hospital. This was a huge opportunity.An opportunity in a lifetime that kept Talia Grey busier than her father in law himself. It hadn't been any more than three minutes Talia Grey shut the door behind her and grimaced in exhaustion, that his car zoomed into th

"I won't come around anymore... Our friendship ends here. Don't try to look for me either..."Talia practiced in her head, but no matter how many times she tried, the words sliced through her heart with more pain than the previous. "Ethan".... his name rolled off her tongue in a gentle whisper. She watched from across the street with a heavy heart. The last customer had just left and Ethan followed behind the lady, flipping the 'OPEN' sign around to display the 'CLOSED'. He always stayed later, but today, they had a date....A date Talia fantasized until last night. Tears pricked her eyes, a painful lump rising in her throat. Her fingernails pierced her palms, she finally crossed the road. The door opened, causing the bell to ring. He had his back to her when his voice rang out. "We're closed"She didn't say a word, she just stood there taking in his figure one last time before she disappears from his life for ever.When he didn't hear a response or atleast hear the door reopen, he
