Adrian's POV

I couldn't sleep.

The thought of Ethan in a room with Leon sat somewhere behind my sternum, heavy and unmoving, like something lodged. I didn't know what to do with it. I didn't know if I even had the right to do anything with it.

'Is it valid,' I kept asking myself, 'to drive there? To go and bring him back?'

And then the quieter, uglier question beneath that one.

'What if he wants to be there?'

He made a choice tonight. He left with Leon. That was a decision. Adults make decision

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 180: Are you not happy seeing me?

    Ethan's POV"Hello Ethan, long time no see," he says, amusement threading through his voice like a blade wrapped in silk. An excited smile spreads across his face. Meanwhile, seeing my worst nightmare standing in front of me, alive and breathing, makes my knees buckle. The floor tilts. I slip and land back on the couch before I even register falling.Horror spreads through me. My blood drains somewhere I can't reach, and my eyes go wide, red-rimmed, burning. My heart stutters to a stop for one long, suspended second when I see the corner of his lips curl upward an evil smirk dressed up as a smile. His shoes click against the floor, louder with every step he takes toward me. My fingers clutch at the sofa's velvet, nails digging in until the fabric bunches beneath them. He looks like a devil walking calmly through hell he built himself."What?" he asks, feigning innocence, stopping two steps away. "Are you not happy seeing me?" His voice cracks with faked hurt, and the sound sends a

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 179: Taking the file

    Ethan’s POVAlmost a week had passed meaning seven days of pretending that everything was normal when nothing inside me felt normal anymore. I had built a shell around myself and stayed inside it. I spoke to Adrian only when absolutely necessary. Even then, my answers were short, emotionless, and carefully measured.“Yes.”“No.”“I’m fine.”“I don’t need anything.”Those were probably the words Adrian had heard most from me all week. And strangely enough, he never complained. He didn’t force me to talk nor did he demand explanations.Instead, he simply stayed.During therapy sessions, I barely responded to him. Sometimes I didn’t even acknowledge his presence. I would sit quietly, answer the therapist when I was asked something, and leave the moment the session ended.I had asked for space and Adrian gave it to me. But he never truly left me alone. He maintained his distance, but somehow he was always there.If I went downstairs, he would eventually appear there. If I sat in the stud

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 178: Pointless to Answer

    Ethan's POVWhen my eyes opened, everything seemed blurry. I wondered for a second if I was dead. Was I able to accomplish my idea? But when my vision got cleared I realised I was still alive.A deep breathe exhales out of my chest as disappointment. I was heart broken to know I survived. And closed my eyes again. "Survived to face all those disgrace, humiliation, pain and trauma," my subconscious said. And a electrifying jolt passes through my spine.I jolt up on the bed, and sit on my ass. My breathe heaving as James dangerous yet mockery filled laugh echoes in my ears. His face flashing right infront of me as he says, "You can't even do a task nicely. Pity on you, Ethan..."Tsk. Tsk. Tsk."No... I failed", I scream in panic. As two stong arms engulf me in a hug. "Please spare me...", I cried. Resisting to get out of that hold which was trying to grab and pull me back."Open your eyes, Ethan. You are safe... I'm there", a soft voice cooes in my ears. I jitter first but then slowly,

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 177: Let me go

    Adrian's POV"Hak... hak..."The sound broke through before anything else did. Raw. Wet. Tearing its way out of his throat in short broken bursts.I froze completely, my whole body going still except for the frantic hammering of my own heart. I watched his eyes flutter, half opening, unfocused, the pupils struggling to fix on anything at all. He looked at me and through me at the same time, like I was nothing more than a shape and a blur of light standing over him.He's alive. He's breathing. He's alive.I pulled him into my arms before I could stop myself, holding him like my own life depended on the grip of my hands. I didn't care how it looked. I didn't care that Rosamund stood watching from the doorway with her hand still pressed over her mouth. I just held him."Ethan. Ethan, I'm here. I'm right here."His face didn't change. No recognition crossed it. His eyes stayed distant, glassy, drifting somewhere past my shoulder like he couldn't place where the sound of my voice was even

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 176: God of death to his knees

    I sat in the car for quite long after the outbreak. Tired and exhausted, resting my head on the head rest with eyes closed. When my hands finally stopped shaking and breath got even. I wiped my face hard, dragged my palm down as if I could scrub the thought off. Then sighing deeply, I pushed the door open and stepped out into the afternoon air, telling myself that "I'm okay". But ended up buying a few more minutes to breathe. To fold my own storm back into its box before I had to face Ethan again. But I never got those minutes. The moment I rounded the driveway and went inside the house, I heard it. "Ethan dear, can you hear me. Please answer my child", Mrs. Rosamund yells. While her hands were banging the door. As she slammed her fists against wood. Frantic, relentless, the sound carrying all the way down to where I stood frozen for half a second, my body refusing to move before my mind had even caught up. "Ethan! Ethan, open the door!" Rosamund kept on chanting. Her voi

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 175: Panic was Panicking

    Author's POVUpstairs the panic had already eaten in the room. Ethan couldn’t stay still. He paced from the window to the bed and back again, then to the wall, then to the door, then back to the window. His hands wouldn’t stop moving, raking through his hair, pressing hard against his temples, opening and closing like they could push the air out of his lungs. He sat on the edge of the mattress. Then he stood up immediately. Dropped to the floor with his back against the bedframe and pulled his knees to his chest so tight that it hurts. Nothing helped. The walls felt too close. The air felt thin and wrong, like it had less oxygen than it should.James was coming.The last person on earth he ever wanted near him again was walking back into this house. Into the same air. The same life he had been trying to glue back together with shaking hands for months. Every careful step, every night he managed to sleep without waking up choking, every time he let Adrian touch him without flinching
