Ethan's POV

I slowed down without even intending to eavesdrop. But my body itself has its own control and thinking suddenly.

"Which one? The boss's little boyfriend?", they continued the gossip.

Laughter. Comfortable and immediate.

"That new assistant. Working and sitting there like he actually belonged."

I stopped just outside the doorway, back pressed to the wall, files still in my arms. They didn't see me. But I could see them clearly and hear their demeaning comments.

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 159: Us, getting engaged

    Ethan's POVThe rest of the day passed in a strange, disoriented blur.I sat at my desk, staring at the same spreadsheet for what must have been twenty minutes without actually reading a single number on it, my mind looping endlessly back to the same handful of moments.*Grandpa's smile. The word engagement. Adrian's laughter. The darkness in his eyes right after.*None of it made sense together. None of it fit the way pieces of a person were supposed to fit.I pressed my palms against my face, exhaling slowly.*Bound to his orders. He said that like it was nothing. Like I was nothing more than a decision waiting to be made for me.*And yet.And yet some small, foolish part of me kept circling back to a different memory entirely, one that had nothing to do with warnings or cold grey eyes narrowing inches from my face.I let my eyes drift shut for just a moment, the office noise fading into something distant and unimportant.---(A few years back)It had been a warm evening, golden lig

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 158: Bound to his orders

    Ethan's POVAdrian sat sprawled across the recliner, utterly unbothered, his arms stretched along the headrest, one leg crossed lazily over the other. There was a mischief lingering in the curve of his mouth, a smugness that made my blood simmer just beneath the surface.I threw my hands up, exasperated."Well?" I demanded. "Aren't you going to say something?"I expected him to speak. To calm the storm his grandfather had just dropped on me like a bomb waiting to detonate. To say anything at all about the word still ringing in my ears.He tilted his head slightly, shaking one leg in idle rhythm."What?" he finally asked, as though he'd only just noticed I was standing there."Don't you have something to say?" I pressed, cocking a brow."About what?""As if you don't know what Grandpa said." I huffed, crossing my arms. "Just now."He blinked, feigning confusion with an ease that made my irritation spike further, his lips slowly forming an exaggerated little "o" before he leaned forward

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 157: Engagement Next Week

    Ethan's POV I woke to an empty room. The space beside me on the bed remained untouched, the sheets smooth and undisturbed, and for a moment I simply lay there, disoriented, blinking at the ceiling before the reality of it settled in. *Adrian isn't here.* I sat up slowly, glancing toward the small clock on the nightstand. Later than I usually woke, though not late enough to explain the silence pressing against the walls of the room. I freshened up quickly, pulling on the first clothes within reach before making my way downstairs, my footsteps echoing a little too loudly against the quiet corridors. Grandpa wasn't in the study. He wasn't in the garden either, no walking stick propped near his usual chair, no half finished cup of tea waiting on the table beside his newspaper. I walked into the dining room instead, settling into my seat as a plate of breakfast was quietly placed before me. I ate a few bites in silence before finally glancing up. "Mrs. Rosamund." She appeared almo

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 156: Peaceful Sleep

    Adrian's POVThe clock hit at 6 pm and I left for home. The moment my car reached the porsche and I walked down their voices reached me before I even saw them. Drifting down the hallway the moment I stepped through the door."You moved your knight wrong," Grandpa was saying, squinting at the board with theatrical suspicion."I moved it exactly right," Ethan replied, not even looking up. "You're just upset because I'm about to take your bishop.""Nonsense. I taught Adrian this game when he was seven. I know a cheat when I see one.""I'm not cheating, Grandpa.""Then explain the knight.""It's called strategy."Grandpa huffed, leaning back in his chair with mock offense. "In my day, strategy meant patience. Not this... this reckless leaping about."I paused in the doorway, unnoticed, watching Ethan press his lips together to keep from laughing outright."Reckless leaping about is literally what a knight does, Grandpa.""Don't get smart with me.""I'm just stating facts."Grandpa pointe

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 155: Mom Dad Anniversary

    Adrian's POV Yesterday was my parents' anniversary. I woke before the sun had fully risen, the way I always do on this particular morning, my body remembering the date before my mind fully catches up to it. For a moment, lying there in the grey half light, I simply stared at the ceiling, letting the weight of it settle over me the way it does every year. *Twenty years.*Twenty years since the house stopped smelling like my mother's perfume in the mornings. Since my father stopped humming off the key in the shower, thinking none of us could hear him. I sat up slowly, pressing the heels of my palms against my eyes, willing the familiar ache in my chest to loosen its grip before the day even began. I don't celebrate it in any grand way. I never have. Each year, I simply cut a small cake, quiet and unceremonious, and distribute the rest among the beggars scattered along the street corners near the old chapel. It felt like the only honest way to remember them, not with speeches or can

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 154: It's only for show

    Author's POV Silence settled over the room, warm and heavy, thick with candlelight and the quiet clink of cutlery. Then Adrian's eyes flicked briefly toward the far corner, where a small gap in the curtain revealed the faint silhouette of the chef, still lingering, still watching with quiet interest. *Of course he's still here.* Adrian's expression shifted, softening in a way that looked almost effortless. Without a word, he reached for the tenderloin, cutting a small, careful piece before lifting his fork toward Ethan, his eyes holding a warmth that hadn't been there a moment ago. "Here." Ethan blinked, caught entirely off guard, his breath catching somewhere in his throat. "What are you—" "Eat." Adrian's voice had dropped low, almost tender, his gaze steady on Ethan's face rather than the fork between them. Ethan parted his lips slowly, allowing the bite, the warmth of the gesture curling through his chest despite everything he told himself about why it was happening. Adr

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 60: The Scent of Absence

    Adrian's POV:I tried to sleep after Seraphine left. But the bed felt too cold, too vast, too achingly empty without Ethan's scent and presence beside me. I lay there staring at the ceiling for what felt like an hour, maybe more, listening to the silence of the room like it was mocking me. It was d

    Adrian's POV:They're already seated when I walk in.That's the rule. Not written anywhere. Not announced to anyone new. Just understood, the way everything in this world is understood, through watching what happens to those who forget.The room rises the second I step through the door. Not out of

    Candia’s POVI was seated in my office, flipping through a thick file of company accounts, numbers blurring together after hours of staring. It was supposed to be a normal afternoon—predictable, controlled. Until my phone rang, racing my heart beat."Ethan," the called ID stated.A soft smile insti

    Ethan’s POV:I swallowed hard. My own cock was throbbing, aching for release, but I wanted to give him pleasure too. I turned toward him and reached down. My hand slid inside his pants and found him. He was rock hard, hot and heavy in my palm.He groaned the moment I touched him. “Fuck… yes…”I stro
