Ethan’s POV

“100 thousand million dollars…”

The amount echoes in my head like a irritating siren sound which gives headache. My world shook violently, the ground tearing apart and ready to swallow me, ending my existence.

“I couldn’t even spend half of it from his card,” I muttered under my breath, my chest tightening. “And he expects me to pay five times more what I took?”, I exasperated.

A shaky breath left my lips as panic clawed it's way to my throat. My chest burn slightly with the deprivi

  • 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

  • Contracted to the man who broke me    Chapter 10: Terms of Employment

    Ethan’s POV“Personal Assistant?"The word slipped out before I could stop it. Silence stretched across the room. Before I could process it, another voice cut in.“Sir… but me?”I turned slightly to find his manager well-dressed, clearly professional standing few steps away, confusion written all over his face. Adrian didn’t even look at him.“You’ll continue your role,” he said coolly. “Adjust accordingly.”The man stiffened, clearly dissatisfied, but said nothing further.My attention snapped back to Adrian. “I’m a coder,” I said, forcing steadiness into my voice. “Not an assistant.”His gaze darkened, not angry but worse. He was amused, maybe because I dared to counter him infront of others.“You’re whatever I require you to be,” he replied calmly and my fists clenched at my sides. “This includes managing my schedule, attending meetings, and being available when needed,” he added, as if listing something trivial.Available.The word didn’t sit right. As this wasn’t a job but taking

My chest burn slightly with the depriving oxygen in me.For a second, I though I might collapse again.What the fuck is this?, I sigh heavily.And then, my eyes reads the dancing smirk on his lips. It was cold, calculated and victorious, passinh a glow to his dark black orbs."You're trapped!", it remarks."You're a scamster...", I said flatly, lifting my gaze to meet his. "A trickster. You're adding clauses without my knowledged.""Nice joke", he chuckled, completely unbothered and acting cool. "Check the contract. You signed", he s
