CHAPTER 10:

A drop of the morning sun spilled softly into the penthouse’s kitchen hitting on the marble counter.

The place was quiet; the only sound heard was the faint sound of the refrigerator.

Ava stood by the counter, pouring some water into a glass. Her over sized shirt hanging loosely on her body, it did nothing to hide her inside body.

Ethan walked in, his steps came to a halt when he set eyes on Ava.

Her messy hair falling over her shoulders, nipples looking straight at him from her shirt and her slurpy thighs.

She was effortlessly seductive.

She wasn't trying to be tempting. She just was and that was the problem.

His problem.

she probably forgot that the white shirt was thinner than ever when she rushed to get a glass of water from the kitchen.

For a moment, time went still.

“Don't look. Don't look.”

But he looked; his eyes betrayed him.

He dragged his gaze to the floor, forcing himself back to his senses.

“Good morning, sir.” Ava said, unaware of the current war of emotions

  • Bound To The Billionaire Brothers    CHAPTER 27: THE COST OF DEPENDING

    THE COST OF DEPENDING Ava stood still even after the woman disappeared. Her breathing was uneven and her fingers were shaking from uncertainty.The voice and the warning still repeated in her head.Ava swallowed hard. “He must never know I’m here… and you may be their next target.”Those words kept repeating in her head.Her hands went weak. She leaned against the wall, pressing her palm over her racing heart as she forced herself back into the penthouse, shutting the door with trembling fingers.“What just happened?” she whispered.She searched for her phone and scrolled through it. Notifications flooded her screen thousands of them.Dozens of comments.Her video defending Ethan was everywhere.THE EMPLOYEE SPEAKS… CAN WE BELIEVE HER?HOW TRUE IS THIS? HOW DOES SHE KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ETHAN HALE?She scrolled again, heart pounding loudly and her hands shaking uncontrollably.LIAR.IMPOSSIBLE.HOW MUCH DID HE PAY HER?Her chest tightened. She dropped the phone on the table like i

  • Bound To The Billionaire Brothers    CHAPTER 26: SOME SHADOWS DON'T STAY DEAD

    Ava barely slept.Her mind kept replaying the previous day's event. The shock in her eyes when she saw the news online. Then she thought, what if Susan had orchestrated the humiliation? What if she had struck Ethan's unexpectedly, when he least expected it?All these thoughts raced through her mind, but she suddenly fell asleep.The morning sun slid through the curtains. Ava rubbed her eyes and pushed herself off the bed. Ethan was already awake, standing by the window in a wrinkled shirt. Facially he looked tired; from everything that had happened. “Morning,” Ava said softly.He didn't really respond, he just muttered a response. Her chest tightened. “Ethan…”“I’m fine.” He lied, voice too quiet, he didn't let her finish her sentence.She wanted to argue, to tell him she could help him fight, but he looked very distant.Like he wasn't ready or willing to say anything.He finally turned toward her, exhaustion clinging to his features. He lifted a hand toward her face, then lowe

    Ethan left Lucas's condo and drove back to his penthouse.He stepped into his penthouse looking like someone who was at the verge of losing a battle. His tie was roughly undone and his hair scattered.Ava rushed to him immediately as he came fully into the room.“Ethan.” She whispered.He didn't speak. He just walked towards the couch and collapsed on it.He exhaled, a long breath that explained how tired he had been.His hands were still shaking, from the rage he barely contained at Lucas's condo.“I just need to get some rest.” He said. “Ethan…” She called him. “You'll be fine, okay?”She felt he needed to hear those words at that moment.“Thank you.” He murmured and walked to his room.THE NEXT MORNING Across the city, Susan Hale sat exquisitely in a five star restaurant, she wore a black blazer, hair styled to perfection. She was looking too elegant for a woman of her age.She dialed a number on her phone.A male voice answered from the other end. “Mrs. Hale.”“It's time,” she

    Ethan didn't wait for her to finish her sentence. The moment she mentioned his stepmother, he took his car keys and stormed out of his office.He immediately drove to the Hale Mansion at a dangerous speed.THE HALE MANSIONSusan sat prestigiously in the dim lounge with a glass of wine. She wasn't surprised at all when Ethan came in furiously.“So,” she said, swirling her drink. “You finally came home to Mama.”“Do not play with her,” Ethan growled, referring to Ava.Susan's eyebrow lifted, amused. “Your secretary, Ava Sinclair? Gentle girl, isn't she? But she's just at the wrong place and at the wrong time.”She stood and approached him, her heels clicking on the floor.“She's a pawn in a dangerous game of ambition and power, Ethan. She'll get hurt, she'll cry, she'll take the fall…” she paused and tapped his shoulders lightly. “And you'll break alongside her.”Ethan's expression hardened. “If you want a fight, take it with me. Leave her out of it.”“Tsk… that's too late,” she said.

    Ava’s gaze lingered on the kitchen door, as Ethan left Lucas’s condo. Her expression was unreadable, Ethan had come looking for her but she still let him leave without her. It felt like a knife driving through her heart.And of all people, she had chosen to stay with Lucas.AT ETHAN’S PENTHOUSEHe slammed the door hard once he entered, he tossed his jacket across the couch and pulled his phone immediately.He dialed her number again.She answered.“Hello…” her voice was barely calm.There was a good amount of silence that stretched between the both of them.“Ava,’ Ethan finally spoke. “Can you please come back to work at least?”She didn’t say anything.The image of her sitting somewhere, knees knocked, shrinking into themselves, lingered in his mind.“Ava?” He called her again.“...Fine.” She agreed. “I’ll resume tomorrow.”He shut his eyes, relieve washing over him like a tide.“Thank you,” he murmured. “Just… come back.”AT THE COMPANYThe next morning at the Halenito company, Ava

    The city lights blurred into long streaks. Ava walked through the pedestrian lane and the thoughts of what Miranda had said still stuck to her head.She didn't pay attention to where she was going. All she knew was that she needed to go far from everything and everybody.Far away from Miranda's apartment. Far away from Ethan, she just needed to think.Ava wrapped her arms around her body like she was cold.Her breathing was unsteady, her vision blurred and the noises around her grew distant.Ava swayed, the world slipping out of her eyes, the street lights turned into streaks of golden color. Her knees buckled, finding it difficult to hold her balance, until strong, firm arms caught her.Not Ethan.“Ava.” Lucas called her.His voice sounded distant and muffled, like she was under water.Lucas's voice had a sense of panic in it. It echoed in Ava's ears. As she drifted in and out of consciousness, she didn't know that Lucas was carrying her AT LUCAS'S CONDOShe woke up on soft sheets
