Ethan Owen

~~~

Arriving at my company, The Owen's Group, I was eager to meet with Eva today.

The fact that she hasn't called me to ask if I was the one who bailed her out or helped her to settle with her ex-boyfriend made me annoyed, but I tried not to get worked up by her. Besides, she wasn't anything to me... except for the fact that I had a one-night stand with her.

"Welcome, sir," the receptionist and the staff working in my company lobby greeted me. I wore a black suit and white undershirt, matching with a pair of black shoes. I made my way to the elevator, unconcerned about the staff greeting me.

I had taken a look at all their faces. None of them was the face that I wanted to see. I wanted to see Eva. Where could she be? Had she failed to keep up with her own part of our deal?

Trying not to get annoyed, I felt the atmosphere in my company shift. Many of my staff acted on edge, fearing that I might fire them after noticing my sour mood.

    {Ethan's POV}As I drove my black Rolls-Royce Phantom into my residence and parked it, my phone rang loudly.I lived in this white duplex alone. It had six bedrooms, yet I occupied only the master bedroom on the top floor.The house gave me a sense of peace as I turned off the car and reached for my phone to see who was calling.It was a call from Freya again. It was just 6 p.m., and she was already calling to know if we were going on a dinner date.I declined her call on the first ring, knowing she would feel bad. So I called her to inform her that I had just gotten home."Hello, Freya," I said softly as soon as she answered."Hello, babe. Have you gotten home? I wanted to ask what time we should get prepared?" she asked, her voice bubbling with excitement."Freya," I said softly as I apologized to her."I'm sorry, but I cannot go on a dinner date with you today," I informed her, and she sounded disappointed."Why, Ethan? But you already promised to take me out on a dinner date toget

    {Eva's POV}Getting out of Jacob's car, I spotted my older sister arriving in her car. She owned a black Toyota Camry like Mom's.I waited for my sister to drive into the yard first. Then she got out of the car and darted to meet me."Eva, didn't I warn you to stay away from Jacob? What are you still doing with him? Even Mom and Dad warned you to stay away from Jacob too!" Elora yelled at me. She wore a blue dress that barely covered her thighs, together with a pair of black shoes."What do you want me to do?" I asked, looking at my sister's face. "I didn't chase after Jacob. He came to meet me.""And you cannot tell him off? Tell him that you're no longer interested," she snapped, glaring at me.I felt a pounding headache because I had been working since morning, from Jasper Tech to Owen's Group. I didn't feel a need to argue with my sister.Before I could respond to Elora as the night fell, Mom stepped out of the house. She wore a black dress and seemed like she had just arrived fro

  • Claimed By The Arrogant Billionaire    Chapter 38

    Jacob's POV:I couldn't relax knowing that my fiancée worked with Ethan Owen. As much as I tried to ignore it, I knew that Eva was very beautiful and there were only rumors about Ethan being gay.What if Ethan wasn't gay? What if he was the man who had taken advantage of my fiancée and taken what rightfully belonged to me?I felt like strangling Layla at that moment. How dare she drug Eva and make me believe that Eva had cheated on me willingly?Eva lowered her head as she avoided meeting my eyes and apologized. "I am sorry, Jacob. I cannot quit my job at Owen Group.""Why?" I asked her calmly, trying not to get annoyed."It's just one day that you've worked for Ethan. Why can't you quit the job?" I asked her, anger boiling in my veins.Eva shook her head and said, "I cannot quit. It's complicated because I already signed the contract. If I breach it, then I will have to pay Owen Group, and I don't have the money to pay.""I will pay it for you. Just quit and come work for me," I begg

    Eva's POV:I wanted to walk away, but Jacob held me firmly against himself, holding my left hand."This isn't about the Parkers' Group alone," Mr. Harry said coldly. "The Parkers' Group doesn't have any tech company. And I was hoping that Layla would learn a lot from Owen Tech. Now Eva has ruined everything for my daughter. Even if Layla set you up, couldn't you forgive her?"Mr. Harry snarled at me, but I yanked my hand away from Jacob's hold and retorted, "I won't forgive Layla. She went too far to have me recorded, and she doesn't deserve my forgiveness!""You ungrateful brat. If not for Jacob's help, you wouldn't be my daughter's friend or stand next to her. You slut!" Mr. Harry yelled at me, and Jacob held me back, his expression firm."It's okay, Eva. Don't talk back to Mr. Parker like that. It's okay. Calm down," Jacob said, holding me back. But I pushed his hand off my shoulder."Stay away from me, Jacob!" I warned him as well, wanting to walk away, but he held my hand firmly.

  • Claimed By The Arrogant Billionaire    Chapter 36

    Eva's POV:I hadn't expected to see Jacob come to the Owens Group head office to see me.What was he doing here? I pondered, when I saw the elevator door swing open on the sixth floor and Jacob walk out, dressed in a yellow shirt and black trousers with polished black shoes.He appeared breathtakingly handsome, but I wasn't happy to see him. I had already made it clear to him not to come pick me up from work. But he was stubborn.I knew that I should be mad at Jacob, but I was the one who had cheated on him and wronged him. So I didn't have the right to be angry at him.But then, I thought about my boss, Ethan Owen. I had had an affair with him. I couldn't vividly recall everything. But now, I was starting to remember some of the silly things I had done, especially after I had seen the video evidence on the phone that Ethan showed me."Try not to think about Ethan Owen. He is my boss and a billionaire. Also, he's engaged." My older sister's warning rang in my ear. Elora had warned me

    Ethan's POV:When I arrived on the sixth floor, I wanted to see Eva's face, compared to most of the staff who were working for me.I had gotten a call from my mother asking me why I didn't take Freya Dallas out on a date the previous weekend as we had discussed.I tried to come up with an excuse that I was sick."Ethan," my mother snapped, knowing that I was avoiding the topic of my upcoming marriage arrangement to Freya Dallas."There's no excuse about your wedding to Freya. Your dad and I have already sent the invitation to the Dallas family, and they will be visiting us this weekend. Ensure that you show up, or if you fail to come home, we will come over to your house. So the choice is yours." Mom had ended the call on me, and I sighed as I made my way into the company.Most of the staff welcomed me, even on the sixth floor, and I caught Eva speaking to someone on the phone.I had wanted to ignore her, but I wanted to hear from her how she likes her new office.
