Don’t Fall For Me, Mr. Knight Chapter Nineteen
Ethan was coming up the stairs when he heard the water running in Ariana's bathroom, and it was 5 AM and the villa was still dark because Rose was sleeping and Victoria was not awake yet.He had woken up early because he could not sleep, and he had been sitting in his office looking at the garden camera, where there were new footprints again near the jasmine that Ariana kept watering.The water sound was strange because it was not warm water sound. Warm water in villa pipes made a soft hissing sound. This water made a hard splashing sound, like ice hitting a tub.He stopped outside her door without meaning to, and he remembered Leo's words from last week about heartbeat and thinking about a girl all the time."I am not stalking," he told himself. "I am just checking pipes. Pipes are company property."But he stood there longer than pipe checking needed, and the water kept running cold.Ariana was inside the bathroom sitting in the bathtub full of cold water and ice from the villa free

Ariana was sitting in the kitchen when Maya arrived with two lunchboxes in her hands, and she was wearing a bright yellow uniform that said ‘Delivery’ on the back, like she was really a food delivery girl.Victoria opened the door and frowned a little, because she did not know Maya, and Maya was holding the boxes like they were very heavy."Delivery for Miss Ariana," Maya said loudly, and she smiled at Victoria with a big innocent smile. “Village food cooked specially for her. She said she misses village food."Victoria's face softened immediately, because she liked anyone who cooked for Ariana. "Oh, you are from her village? Come in, dear. Ariana is in kitchen."Maya walked in and placed the two boxes on the table, and one box smelled like real stew and rice, and the other box had no smell at all, which was strange for a food box.Ariana looked up from her tea and saw Maya's eyes, and she understood right away."Thank you," she said, and she took both boxes. “Village cooking is the b

Ariana was standing in the back row of the city design hall when Chloe walked onto the stage, and she was wearing a simple black cap and a mask so no one would recognize her as Designer A or as Ethan Knight's wife.The hall was full of bright lights and loud music, and there were twenty designers waiting backstage with their boards, and the judges were sitting in the front row with their pens ready. It was the first round of the City Fashion Cup, the same cup that Ariana had won two years ago under the name A before she disappeared and became Ghost's shadow.She had not come to compete. She had come to watch, because Maya had told her that someone had registered with a sketch that looked exactly like her old trash."Boss, it's your 2023 unfinished sketch, the one you threw away at Cole house because you said it was too soft," Maya had whispered on the phone that morning. "The one with jasmine sleeves and hidden pockets. Chloe submitted it."Ariana had said nothing, and then she had ta

Ethan was sitting in his office when he realized he had stopped trying to contact Ghost, and he had started watching Ariana instead, and he did not know when the switch had happened.It had been three days since Ghost had written "Maybe you don't know your wife," and the port bid had been saved and Ray's IP had been blocked from every Knight Group server. The IT team was calling Ghost a miracle, and Leo was calling Ghost a ghost who did not want money, and Ethan was supposed to be working on the final bid price.But his eyes kept going to the small monitor on his desk that showed the villa garden camera, where Ariana was sitting on the floor with Rose, doing acupressure for the third time that morning."Why are you on the floor again?" he heard Victoria say through the camera speaker, and he heard Ariana's voice answer, rude and soft at the same time."Because your mother likes the floor, and the floor likes me."He turned the camera off and rubbed his face, because he had never check

Ethan was sitting in the living room when Leo arrived in the morning, and he had not slept at all because he had been staring at the ceiling after sending that message about the villa WiFi.Victoria was in Rose's room with the nurse, and Ariana was in the kitchen making tea for Rose, and the house was quiet in the way that houses are quiet after someone has been sick.Leo stood near the door with his tablet in his hand, and his face looked confused, which was unusual for Leo."Sir, I checked the villa WiFi logs from midnight until now," he said.Ethan looked up from his coffee. "And?""Nothing," Leo said. "Her laptop was offline. No browsing, no streaming, no drama site. The router shows no device connected from her room at all during that time."Ethan frowned. "Are you sure?""Yes, sir. I checked twice. The villa system shows her phone connected for messages, but her laptop never touched our network. It's like it was never turned on."Ethan was silent for a moment, and he thought abo

Ethan was still in his office when Leo entered without knocking, and he knew from Leo's face that something had gone wrong because Leo never entered without knocking unless it was serious."We lost Server Three," Leo said, and his voice was shaking. "Everything for the port project is encrypted. Bidding price, partner list, all of it."Ethan looked up from his laptop where he had been trying to reply to Victoria's message about Rose, and he saw the red letters blinking on the big screen behind Leo._You took my father's port. I take yours. - R_It was Ray."How much does he want?" Ethan asked."Fifty million, or he leaks the bid to Starlight in the morning."Starlight again.Ethan stood up and walked to the screen, and his tie was already loose because he had been sitting there since evening. The IT team was on call downstairs, and he could hear them shouting through the phone on Leo's hand.Leo held out the phone. "They said it's Ghost-level encryption. No one can break it except Gho
