Ethan’s POV

I 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.

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 72: Leon

    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

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 69: The Night You Unknew Me

    Ethan's POVA little child in me giggled as they caught the candy of them. Adrian. The man whom I missed badly almost for a month of silence.Eighteen days of unanswered texts, restless nights, and hope that refused to die no matter how many times I tried to bury it. And today—my birthday—when I finally be greeted with his sight. Something inside me doesn't feel right. The happiness was there but with a wavering effect lingering inside me.Is it really him?My steps slowed.Did he come back? How come I didn’t know?My heart began to race, each beat louder than the last as my eyes locked onto his figure.Is he here to surprise me?Brushing the creeping tension away I smile nervously. A flicker of something fragile bloomed inside my chest.Is that why Davel brought me here…?Hope, bloomed.Stupid, fragile hope.I walked toward him with it stitched into every step.My eyes searched his face, memorizing every inch of him like I hadn’t already done that a thousand times before. I thought—n

    Ethan’s POVAdrian left for Italy saying he has some work for a week. Seven days. Though my heart was at unease I consolidated myself that he will be fine and return soon. But even after one hundred and sixty-eight hours being completed… he did not give a single reply.Not a “I’m busy.” Not a “I’ll call later.” Not even a cold, one-word response.Nothing.At first, I told myself he was occupied.As Adrian was never the kind of man who lived a slow life—his world ran on deadlines, decisions, and danger. It made sense… right?So I waited. And I texted.Did you reach safely? Are you okay? Did you eat? Adrian… please reply.The messages kept going.Unread.Unanswered.Unfelt.Each passing day carved something out of me. Something quiet. Something vital. And soon the 7 days became longer, yet no reply.And then Davel informed, for business expansion reason he needs to extend his stay there. I frowned. Why did he not tell me? Am I not his secretary?But then I let it slide away understandin

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 67: A small note for me

    Adrian's POVThe images weren't ambiguous. Weren't the kind that could be talked away or reframed. They were intimate in the particular way of things that are real — the careless detail, the unguarded expression, the body language of two people who had forgotten, or simply stopped caring, that they could be seen.I stared at the screen for a long time.Looking for the flaw. The edit. The timestamp inconsistency or the lighting that didn't quite match. Some technical seam I could pull apart and hold up as proof that none of this was what it looked like.I found nothing.The room around me blurred at the edges. Sound dropped away — the building's ambient noise, the hum of the ventilation, the distant murmur of the city — all of it retreating to somewhere I couldn't reach.There was no caption. No explanation from the sender. Just the images, arranged in sequence, like evidence presented without argument because the argument wasn't necessary.I set the phone down on the desk with more ca

    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. The music was reduced to a distant, dull thump like a heartbeat muffled behin

    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 breat
