登入EVA'S POVAs I stood aside, preparing to dial Ethan's number, I watched the CEO of Johnson Group, Gabriel Johnson, stride up to meet me."Eva, you look so stunning tonight," CEO Gabriel said, as he wore a black tuxedo and a deep red undershirt.He extended his hand for a handshake, and he took my hand and placed a soft kiss on my knuckles. My heart fluttered, and I wanted to withdraw my hand away from his hold as I recalled that he is a womaniser."What are you doing standing out here?" CEO Gabriel asked me softly as he stood with his bodyguards beside him."Um, I want to call someone," I replied, and he smiled."Alright. Will you be quick about the call, or should I wait for you? I do not mind taking you in as my plus one," he grinned, and I looked over at his men who stood behind him."The call will take me a while. Actually, I want to help my brother with something," I said, as I watched Cruz and Maddison step forward."Oh, Mrs. Brooklyn. You didn't inform me that you are in connec
ETHAN'S POVIn the field, I held the golf stick and struck the ball, aiming for a goal; however, the ball rolled over and didn't fall into the hole."Let me try," Cade said as he stepped forward, took the stick, and struck another ball that the coach had set on the ground for him.As Cade's luck would shine, the ball flew a long distance and rolled into the hole. He scored against me."Yes!" Cade gasped with excitement, and my lips curled in a smile watching him."This deserves some truth. Ethan, tell me," Cade said as he strode to meet me, but I didn't say a word. My lips remained locked, and I looked over at the distance, calculating how to strike the ball."If you miss your target, you are telling me the truth of what's ongoing," Cade pressed, his tone serious. I laughed and held the stick with a firm grip."Deal," I agreed, and Cade's eyes widened."No backing out," Cade said as he stepped aside for me to strike the ball.As the coach set the ball, I held the stick and struck it.
ETHAN'S POV"It's complicated, man. You wouldn't believe that Freya called my mother and reported to her that I was cheating on her," I started to say as I peered at Cade's face. He burst out laughing hard."I wanted to ask you too. What's going on with you, Ethan? Do you check the news at all?" Cade asked, his tone serious."What do you mean?" I asked him, my brows furrowed.Cade's lips curled up in a smile as he brought out his phone. His finger clicked on the screen, and he showed me a photo."Take a look at the gossip news about you. It clearly shows you, Owen's Group CEO, on his knees in front of his secretary, wearing a shoe on her feet. And you are saying that you have an aversion to women? I think you are not being honest with me even though I am your buddy."I snatched Cade's phone and peered at the screen.My jaw dropped because it didn't occur to me that someone had secretly taken a snapshot of me when I was testing the shoes on Eva's feet."These are just photos. They don'
ETHAN'S POVAfter I left my parents' place, I instructed my driver to take me to the golf center, while I pulled my phone to make a call to my best friend."What's up, Cade, how are you doing this weekend?" I asked him, as I listened to his response."I am fine. I wanted to call you now, but I don't know what you're up to. Are you hanging out with your fiancée?" Cade asked, and my brows furrowed."No. I am heading to the golf center. Meet me there," I replied before he agreed."Got it." The rest of the call ended, and I reclined in my car seat, my gaze out of the window.Arriving at the golf center in Dominic City, where Cade and I hung out to catch up on our lives, I watched the car pull to a halt and I climbed out.A man in black welcomed me, as he was a security guard, while I responded to his greetings before striding to the field to take a look at the vast surrounding. The open field, the thick forest far ahead, the high mountains, and the birds chirping around.A few elderly men
EVA:"Eva, what took you so long to purchase a watch for Ethan's sister?" Elora asked after I arrived at the car and unlocked the front passenger door. I plopped into the front seat and apologized, "I am sorry. I just thought to purchase something more expensive." I blushed; my sister shook her head and ignited the car."I get it. For your boss's sister, you have to give her something worth it. Otherwise, I am sure she will reject it," Elora said as she drove out of the parking lot. She headed for the Owen's Hotel."Yeah," I replied with a smile. My gaze remained outside the window as I avoided looking at Elora's face. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest as I pondered if Ethan would misinterpret my gift for his sister.I kept looking outside the car as my phone vibrated. My heart raced, thinking it was Ethan calling me, but a wave of disappointment crashed down on me when I saw that it was Jacob.With Elora in the car, I drew a deep breath and answered his call."Hello, Jacob."I
EVA:After Elora went into her room, Mom looked at me adoringly and asked, "Eva, are you sure that there's nothing ongoing between you and your boss?"Meeting her gaze, I replied, "Nothing.""Mm. Alright. You should stay safe at the birthday party, and it's better that you stay close to Elora to avoid stories that touch the heart," Mom advised me as she made her way to the corridor."Got it, Mom," I replied as I moved back to perch on the black couch in the living room while waiting for my sister to finish changing her clothes.How could Ethan give me a bag and shoes worth 10 million? What game is he playing? I had tried to pay him the money I owed him, but he refused.Did he truly want to keep me as his mistress? But he is engaged.I sighed while checking my last conversation with Ethan on my phone.The living room door unlocked, and my dad strode in. His eyes widened in surprise, just as Mom's and Elora's had."Eva, you look stunning. What are you waiting for? You should go to the p
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 e
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 r
