Author: Neerfa
last update publish date: 2026-04-10 23:58:07

Ethan's POV:

Very slowly I settled back into the corner of the couch so he could lean against me more comfortably. I felt the warmth of his skin. The slow rise and fall of his breathing against my side.

His breathing deepened. Heavier. Quieter.

He was falling asleep.

I kept completely still. I kept my own breathing steady so I would not wake him. I looked at the side of his face. The line of his jaw. The way his lashes rested so still against his skin. Nothing cold in him now. Nothing sharp or

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 75: Mr. Invader

    Leon's POVIn the cozy night, as the moon glowers to its finest and the warm blanket surges comfort. Ethan shifts closer to me, as slowly his eyes became heavy and sleep hovers over him. The television was still on, glowing its screen with the movie on its conclusion scene. But Ethan had drifted to sleep. I stare at his face glowing in the dim yellow lights on the ceiling secretly. My eyes glued to his calm, innocent face which drews his purity and cuteness to its peak when asleep. His cute small nose, almond eyes, medium length lashes and olive yellow skin with faint pinkish natural tint on his cheek bones. Everything was alluring me toward him. I was drawn to him without even knowing it concsiously until a plastic can drops on the floor with the emptiness and I stir up. Fuck.... I curse myself."What the fuck is wrong with me?", I hold my head in amusment. "What am I doing?", I ask my subconscious. My face slowly turning to his side and lashes peer up to catch his glance.This

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 74: Comforting Food, Shows and Him

    Ethan’s POVBy the time we returned to the cottage, the sky had completely drowned in darkness. The forest around us looked different now—quieter, calmer, almost mysterious beneath the silver moonlight peeking through the trees. My legs ached from the trekking, and exhaustion clung to my body like a second skin.The moment we entered, Davel practically collapsed on the couch.“I’m dead,” he groaned dramatically before dragging himself toward his room.A second later, silence.Gone.I chuckled under my breath and shook my head. “That man sleeps faster than a baby.”After taking a quick shower, I changed into oversized sweatpants and a loose hoodie. The warmth of the clothes instantly relaxed me. My muscles still hurt, but at least now I felt human again.As I stepped out of my room, a faint aroma drifted through the cottage.Food.I blinked toward the kitchen only to find Leon standing there casually, sleeves folded to his elbows while stirring something in a pan.This guy must secretl

    Ethan's POVOn the breakfast table, Leon shared stories of how he was staying here for almost a month now. And the nature was so welcoming and pretty here that he just extended his stay. Hiding from the busy city and chaos of work.“So, what's your favourite place here?” Davel asked. Chewing on his chicken salami sandwich.I paused, peering up my lashes to catch Leon’s glimpse.“The waterfall…”, he said excitedly. A twinkle sparkling through his eyes.“Wow… really?” Davel chimes in a surprised tone. “How did I never knew about it?”, he says with disappointment.“I discovered the hidden gem..”, Leon proudly informs. “It's 2 hours 45 minutes away from here. In the depth of the jungle, on the left side, down the rock hill”, he says.“Oh… I see”, he muses.“Let's go then…”, Leon suggests. “Sure”, Davel hmms. And I stare at them like a lost puppy.“What?”, they ask in sync. “Are you guys serious?” I ask the most obvious question in the room. They both pass me a cocked brow with a duh expre

    Ethan’s POVI was about to turn back on my heels and run back to my room again. But now after him catching me if I pull that stunt he would be right. So, I pull all my strength back to me and walk inside the kitchen to fetch a bottle from the fridge. It was opposite to him."I can do it...", I boost my confidence. "It's not like he will eat me..", I tell myself as I take a step forward.Reaching to the fridge, with measured steps I take the bottle out of it. And chug a large gulp of water at once. My throat suddenly felt more dry than it was already.I drink two three sips more almost finishing the bottle of 1 litre. When I see sense him shift in his place. His eyes lingering over me. And I shift at my place nervously. My hand slowly shivering as I could feel his gaze fully."Fuck...", I curse under my breath. As something inside me twist.I nervously walk to the platform and keep the bottle down. And then, I turn to look at him.That was the second worst decision."Shoot...", I gulp

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 71: Stranger With Emerald Eyes

    Ethan's POV:The car moved smoothly through the silent roads, but my mind was far from calm.Everything inside me felt hollow. Drained. Like someone had reached inside my chest and wrung out every last drop of feeling until nothing remained but an aching emptiness.My chest still hurt from earlier. From him. From the way Adrian had looked straight through me like I was made of glass, like those days, those memories, those quiet moments we'd shared were buried somewhere he had no intention of digging up again.I didn't even notice when my eyelids started growing heavy.The exhaustion wasn't physical.It never was with him.I vaguely heard Davel saying something from the driver's seat, but his voice sounded underwater, distant and muffled beneath the noise crowding my own head.Then darkness swallowed me whole....A soft warmth brushed against my skin.My brows twitched.Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking until the blur dissolved and the room around me sharpened into something I absolu

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 70: The Screaming Silence

    Davel's POVThe engine hummed beneath my grip, steady—unlike the storm sitting beside me. Ethan didn't say a word as he got inside the car. He just turned on the AC to its full speed.But silence like this?It was never empty. It was loud. Deafening. The kind that clawed at your ears even without a sound. The internal screaming was loud. Mixing with the abruptly hearable heartbeat to the ears. The kind of silence that didn't just sit between two people—it pressed down on them. On their chests. On their throats. Like a hand that refused to let go.I glanced at him from the corner of my eye.He sat stiffly in the passenger seat, shoulders tense, like he was holding himself together by force alone. His jaw was clenched so tight I thought it might crack. His hands—curled into fists over his lower thighs as he pulled his knees to his chest. Trembling ever so slightly. Like the effort of simply existing in that moment was costing him something he couldn't afford to spend.His eyes… bloodsho

    Third Person POV“There should be no mistake… and make sure no one sees you.”The voice was low, controlled yet edged with firmness like a warning.The back gate lobby of the club was a stark contrast to the chaos inside.
