"Strip down already before I tear off those clothes of yours."

My heart slammed violently against my ribs. For a second I thought I had heard him wrong. "What?", the word barely escaped my lips. But Adrian's expression didn't change.

His cold, unyielding eyes remain hooked with mine. "I don't repeat myself!", he said. His tone is merciless, warning he means it.

Is he even listening to himself?, I gasp, my throat drying with the sudden change in room temperature.

"You can't be serious....", I w

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 16: Ethan — The Saver

    Flashback(The day he met her)The day Ethan arrived in New York, he hadn’t planned on saving anyone. He was just walking. No destination, no purpose just trying to quiet the noise in his head. The city felt too loud, too unfamiliar. Every step felt like he didn’t belong there yet. That’s when he saw it.A car crashed straight into a streetlamp in the back lane near the hospital road. The front was dented, smoke curling out like something alive. For a second, people just looked. No one moved but Ethan did."Oh God! I hope there is no one seriously injured", he murmured. "Let's pray there is no one inside."His feet carried him before his mind could catch up. As he got closer, his chest tightened not from fear, but urgency. There was a woman inside.Locked in.Her head had fallen to the side, strands of hair stuck to her damp face. Her lips slightly parted as she struggled to breathe but the air just wasn’t reaching her. Her chest rose unevenly."Oh no, she seems like having Asthma at

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 15: An Unusual Care

    Adrian's POV Morning came earlier than usual, I only slept for barely 4 hours. My eyes were heavy and voice was heavy but still leaving the bed I went to get ready. Getting into a brown suit with lemon yellow shirt I dress up for the day. Today, I have a important meeting and other things to handle. It's kinda very important day.Reaching downstairs, I find my breakfast ready and everyone present except one person. My eyebrows furrowed and a light scowl contoured my face."Ethan, is still asleep... I didn't wake him up as his body was slightly hot", Mrs. Rosamand informs before I could ask. "Okay, when he wakes up ask him to go to the Atlantic Hotel", I say sternly and she nods.My expression remain unreadable but my eyes said a different story which I try to hide from her. "But if he is sick, ask him not to," was a understatement. Finishing the breakfast I get into my car and send the termination letter to Davel, I want that person out of my company before I even reach there. I the

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 14: The Night I Almost Forgot The Game

    Adrian’s POVI had few drinks, and on top of that a cigar, had made my head light weight. My mind was focused on Ethan as I see him on my screen, my eyes glued as he works relentlessly, having no water or food but a cup of coffee.He hates black coffee but still haves it when working dedicately while making faces with every sip."He looks cute!""Sir, your dinner is ready?", Mrs. Rosamand knocks at the door. "No... I'll not have it today", I answer without even looking at her."Okay", she replies but remain standing hesitantly."You want to ask something?", I ask, gazing up at her. "Mr. Ethan?", she nervously asks."He is at work", I respond. "He'll be coming soon I guess...", I inform and she smiles lightly.I shift my gaze back to the screen as I see him take the print outs."Shall I asks you something?", Mrs. Rosamand interrupts again and I finally focus on her fully. "Yes...""Is Ethan the same guy you have been griefing about all these years?", her question leaves me shaken. The

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 13: The Test He Never Asked For

    Ethan’s POV“Excuse me?!”The words slip out louder than I expected. My chest rising and falling unevenly as I stare at him.A test?All of that… just a test?My mind starts running too fast. Skipping dinner, sitting there for hours, hacking the system of company and accountant, checking every details. My head pounding, eyes burning, and that all for what?Is he really nuts? Or wants to whack out my ass for no reason?I let out a breath, almost laughing but it sounds wrong. “Are you serious right now? You made me go through all those files—”“I didn’t make you," he replied in his overly calm voice voice cutting me off in middle.“What?” I frown, confused for a second.“I asked you to find discrepancies,” he says simply, like he’s stating something obvious. “I never told you to finish it today.”My fingers curl slightly. “That’s—” I pause, trying to process it. “That’s not how you said it.”His eyes lift to me preying me sharply and watching as if studying my mind. “I said I needed the

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 12: The lines he draws

    Ethan’s POVI didn’t realize when my thoughts drifted too far. Too deep, too him. When a sudden warmth over my hand pulled me back.I blinked, looking down.Davel.His hand rested lightly over mine, not tight, not forceful just enough to ground me.“You zoned out,” he said softly. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “Yeah… I do that sometimes.”A small, tired smile formed between us. It wasn’t anything big but a normal humanly gesture. And maybe that’s why it felt wrong because the moment didn’t last.“Seems like you’re getting comfortable", a sharp cold voice booms in our ears.Our eyes slowly darted to the source of the voice and I freeze. Adrian Blackwood was standing with his eyes darkened and face scowled."Sir...", Davel mumbles.He immediately pulled back his hand like he had been burned.We both stood up in attention but his eyes were cold passing a last glare at us before he leaves without any other words.What's wrong with him?His silent walking off left some un

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 11: Control was never mine

    Ethan’s POVI sat outside Adrian’s office, staring at nothing. I had asked for time. Just some time to think… to understand what exactly I was agreeing to. But the more I thought about it, the clearer it became. There was no “thinking”; no “choosing”.The personal assistant role… that was permanent.And my actual job?The one I wanted to work for or have interview for? It is 'Temporary'. Basically… I had no choice.A small, bitter laugh escaped me.Last night, for a moment, I really thought I had the upper hand. Thought I made him lose control… even a little. But sitting here now, I realized how stupid that was of me."You can never win from the devil!", I sigh heavily.As in the end, Adrian was still the one in control. He didn’t even have to try.“I’ll do it.”I said it when I walked back inside. He didn’t look surprised, not even a little. Just nodded like he already knew."Of course he did."Within an hour, Adrian calmed me inside and handed me a new phone and an iPad.“Work devic
