"You didn't have to barge into my house just to utter such utter nonsense," Ethan's cold, dangerous voice echoed through the vast sitting room. He was facing a stern looking man dressed in a sharp black suit, flanked by several heavily armed men in matching attire.

​The man paused, shifting his gaze toward the grand staircase until his eyes locked onto mine. A slow, sickening smirk spread across his face. Ethan instantly tracked his line of sight and turned around, his eyes widening in alarm wh

    I quickly cleared my throat, forcing my voice to sound normal as they both turned to face me.​"You're back!" Ethan said, a broad, warm smile instantly lighting up his face.​"Yes. Was I supposed to stay in school all day?" I shot back, folding my arms across my chest.​Ethan gave me a slightly strange, amused look, catching the sharp edge in my tone.​"You must be Katherine," the young woman said softly, offering a genuine, sweet smile.​"Yes," I replied, forcing a polite smile to my lips.​"I'm Ethan's sister, Joanne," she introduced warmly. "Technically, I'm his cousin, but we practically grew up together as brother and sister after I lost my parents at a young age."​The moment those words left her mouth, my shoulders visibly relaxed, and the tight knot in my chest unraveled. She was the sister he had talked about at the ski resort—the married one.​"Hi," I greeted her warmly, stepping closer into the living room. "It's a pleasure to meet you."​"The pleasure is all mine! Ethan ha

    ​"Go ahead," I told him, swallowing hard against the lump in my throat.​"Are we back together?" he asked in a low, quiet whisper meant strictly for my ears.​"No," I told him bluntly.​I watched as the hopeful flicker in his dark eyes instantly extinguished, replaced by a subtle shadow of disappointment.​"But I really love you, Katherine," he said softly, leaning forward and searching my eyes. "I love you so much."​"I know you do... but let's just be friends for now," I replied, keeping my voice firm despite the ache in my chest.​Ethan turned his head, staring silently at the wall for a few agonizing seconds before turning back to face me. "It's okay. I understand." He took a slow breath and offered a weak, humble smile. "Thank you for being here, Kat. It means the world to me."​I nodded gently.​"But just so you know," he added, his signature faint smirk making a fleeting appearance, "I'm not going to stop trying to win you back."​I remained silent, completely at a loss for wor

    ​"I find it very demeaning that you have the audacity to address me with such disrespect," the man stated, his deep voice carrying a command that made the air in the room grow cold.​I looked at his face properly. He possessed a striking, undeniable resemblance to Ethan,chiseled jaw, piercing eyes, and an aura of lethal composure. He was almost certainly his father.​Eleanor remained silent, glaring him down with pure hatred.​Felix cleared his throat nervously, breaking the suffocating stillness. "Good evening, Don," he greeted respectfully.​The man nodded once, his face a completely blank mask as he stared down at Ethan's pale frame. Slowly, his gaze shifted toward me. I exchanged a brief, terrified glance with Janice before we managed to greet him in unison. "Good evening, sir."​He kept mute, his sharp eyes darting between the two of us, taking in every detail before he finally turned to Felix. "How is he?"​He stepped closer to the bedside, gesturing with a slight flick of his w

    It had been two weeks since I broke up with Ethan, but the news remained strictly between us, Felix, and Janice.Felix had practically begged me not to take down our pictures from social media, stressing that Ethan's public image and corporate standing depended on maintaining the illusion of our relationship. My parents were away on another extended business trip anyway, assuming Ethan was simply tied up with hockey and his family's obligations. Janice, on the other hand, had been my anchor. Felix had laid everything out for her—the syndicate, the rivalries, the immense danger—and ever since, she had been gently trying to talk me into taking him back. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it.It was just another quiet school day as I pulled up to campus, meeting Janice by my locker."Hi, girl," she greeted softly, pulling me into a warm, supportive hug."Hi," I responded lightly, offering a faint smile as we turned toward our first period.After morning classes wrapped up, we retreat

A slow, sickening smirk spread across his face. Ethan instantly tracked his line of sight and turned around, his eyes widening in alarm when he saw me standing there.​"Hello, young lady," the man drawled, his voice dripping with condescension. He gestured casually with his hand. "Come down here."​"Don't move an inch, Katherine!" Ethan barked, his entire frame tensing up as utter terror seized me.​"I could easily shoot up at her, you know," the strange man threatened lightly, tapping his holster.​My eyes widened in horror, my breath catching in my throat.​"I dare you," Ethan spat, his dark eyes flashing with lethal fury. "Try

    "Hi, Eleanor," I greeted with a warm smile as she made her way down the stairs of the VIP box to sit with us. ​"How are you, darling?" she asked, pulling me into an elegant, motherly hug. ​"Very well, thank you," I replied as she settled into the plush seat beside me. ​Felix immediately bowed his head in respect. "Hi, Eleanor." ​"And who is this?" she asked, smiling warmly at the gorgeous girl sitting beside him. ​"This is my girlfriend, and Katherine's best friend, Janice," Felix introduced proudly. ​Janice smiled and greeted her, and the two of them exchanged polite pleasantries. "You girls look exceptionally stylish tonight," Eleanor complimented, taking in our outfits. ​"Thank you," we chorused with bright smiles. ​The game kicked off in no time, the icy arena echoing with the sharp scrape of skates and the thunderous roar of the crowd. Both teams moved with incredible speed, fighting fiercely to take the lead, but my man was simply in a league of his own. Ethan gli

    I don't care who you are. Just watch where you're going next time," I snapped, turning on my heel and marching toward the exit.​Janice scrambled to follow right behind me. "Such an annoying dude," I muttered, my cheeks still burning from his intense gaze.​"Annoying, but dangerously cute, girl," J

    ​ I rushed downstairs without even glancing in a mirror, my heart hammering against my ribs. When I reached the living room, my jaw nearly hit the floor.​ There was Ethan Vance, looking effortlessly flawless in a casual designer shirt, completely engrossed in a conversation with my dad.​"Oh, here
