Ethan’s POV

The door clicked shut behind me, leaving the sound of it ringing in my ears. As though I closed it normally—It felt louder than anything I had ever heard. I just didn’t stop walking.

My lashes felt heavy. Eye bags teary. But I didn’t look back.

Didn’t think.

Halting my chain of thoughts and turning off the emotions completely. Because I knew—if I did, even for a second… I’d lose whatever control I had left.

"Hold on to it–", I mumble to myself.

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 90: The Place He Never Talked About

    Ethan's POVThe silence inside the car was starting to drive me insane.At first, I thought Adrian was taking me to another meeting. Then I assumed it was a project site. Then I thought maybe he is taking me for a dinner."Ugh...", I sigh.After twenty minutes, I gave up trying to guess. Every time I looked at him, he remained focused on the road. Calm. Quiet. Completely unreadable. As if he was deeply concentrated on something in the back of his mind.The city slowly disappeared behind us. The crowded streets gave way to quieter roads lined with trees and old buildings. We drove farther and farther away from Manhattan, and the knot in my stomach only grew tighter."Where are we exactly going?"I wanted to ask again where we were going but I didn't. Something about Adrian today felt different.He doesn't seems angry. Not cold. Just distant. Which is unlike him.Eventually, he turned onto a narrow road. A few minutes later, he parked the car. I looked out the window and then froze."A

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 89: The Silence Between Words

    Ethan's POVAn uncomfortable silence spread across the room.My heart was still struggling to catch up with what was happening. Fine lines of tension creased on my forehead as I look at Adrian and then at Leon. Trying to conclude what should I do or say.The situation felt strangely heavy. Warm if I see at Leon and dangerous if I see Adrian. Because his expression hadn't improved at all. The calmness on his face somehow made it worse. I knew him enough by now to recognize when he was irritated.And right now?He looked extremely calm which meant trouble.Gulping on the lump formed in my throat, I stood there holding my folders while everyone around the table waited for Adrian's response.I didn't know what to say.Five resorts meaning five massive projects spread across multiple countries. And Leon wanted me to be the primary point of contact. While Adrian wants me to be far from all the guys, he dislikes my friendship with any male.I cleared my throat nervously."Leon, I appreciate

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 88: Caught up Between Two CEO's

    Ethan's POVAdrian sat at the head of the table. Leon directly across from him. I took a seat two places down from Adrian, close enough to be involved, far enough to breathe.Marco opened the presentation while I quietly steadied myself.We had put everything into this. Late nights, revised drafts, heated arguments over numbers and phrasing and which version of an idea was strong enough to survive a room like this. I had reviewed every slide so many times I could recite them in my sleep.But knowing the material and watching it unfold in front of Leon were two entirely different things.Marco led the first section, the resort concepts.What we had built wasn't a standard luxury pitch. It wasn't five polished versions of the same dream repackaged under different location names. Each property had its own distinct identity rooted specifically in where it stood. The Amalfi project worked with the landscape rather than over it. The Bali location carried a community framework we had already

    Ethan's POVDavel and I walked out of Adrian's cabin together after taking the approval of Adrian for fixing the appointment schedule with Leon's secretary and preparing the rough structure for the upcoming meeting.The moment the cabin doors closed behind us, Davel suddenly looked at me sideways with visible amusement."Why did you sound so amazed inside?" he asked. "Your eyes literally started shining."I blinked before laughing lightly."Oh Davel," I mocked dramatically. "You are getting old."He frowned immediately. "Excuse me?"Smiling, I shook my head. "Remember the guy we met in your uncle's cottage?"Davel paused mid step.I watched him think deeply for a moment before realization slowly crossed his face."Oh."Then his eyes widened. "Oh wait. It's our Leon?", he ask with amusement. I shrugged nervously. "Maybe I can be wrong…""Hmm can be possible" Davel muttered, agreeing with me.It really did feel unreal. Leon?That Leon?The same guy who sat beside us near the lake drinki

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 86: Leon Vargas

    Adrian’s POVHealing was irritating.That was the first thing I learned after being forced to stay inside the Budapest safehouse for over a week. Doctors kept calling it recovery. I called it torture.“Don’t move your shoulder too much.”“Take your medication.”“Don’t reopen the stitches.”Every sentence sounded like a threat to my patience. And Ethan became worse than the doctors.“You’re not supposed to lift that.”I looked up from the kitchen counter where I was trying to make coffee one-handed.“I’m holding a mug, not a car.”“That’s not the point.”His brows furrowed immediately as he walked over and took the cup from my hand before I could protest further.I stared at him. He ignored me completely. Interesting.Three weeks ago, Ethan barely argued with me. Now, he walked around the safehouse bossing me around like he personally owned the place.And somehow, I let him.He moved around the kitchen quietly while sunlight poured through the windows behind him. The oversized sweater s

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 85: Maybe I Ruin Everything

    Ethan’s POV:Sleep never came peacefully anymore.Not after the blood, the screams, seeing Adrian standing there bleeding because of me.The safehouse room was dark and silent except for the rain softly hitting the windows outside. I lay curled beneath the blanket staring blankly into nothing while exhaustion dragged heavily against my body.But every time I closed my eyes—I saw it again.The blade. The blood. Adrian throwing himself in front of me.My chest tightened painfully. I turned onto my side quickly trying to breathe normally.It’s over. You’re safe. He’s safe.But my mind wouldn’t listen. Because deep down something ugly had already started whispering inside me."People get hurt around you."I squeezed my eyes shut hard.No.But the memories came anyway.Mom screaming my name. Dad holding me behind him. Men shouting and glass breaking.Blood. Always blood.A shaky breath escaped me.The debt collectors came when I was fourteen. My parents borrowed money trying t
