Abby's words hit him like a blow to his face, but he knew she was right to be mad at him.

For several seconds, Ethan could only stare at her.

There was no defense he could give that would make what had happened look better. No explanation that could erase the image she had walked in on or the lies that had been carefully built around her without her knowledge. He could see the betrayal written all over her face, and somehow, that hurt more than the anger.

He had expected Abby to be angry when s

  • Fall In Love, My Billionaire CEO   CHAPTER 167: SETTING ALYSSA UP.

    Ethan had just blindly accepted the task Alyssa gave him.At the time, he had been too focused on proving himself to Abby's parents to think about what would happen afterward.He had wanted to show them that he wasn't like Claire.He wanted Abby to look at him and know that, despite everything that had happened, he was willing to stand beside her.But now that he was standing outside the sitting room where his mother was, reality was beginning to sink in.He didn't fully comprehend how difficult it would take Claire to accept such invitation.He had spent the entire walk home thinking about it.Claire wasn't stupid.She questioned everything.She trusted no one.And if she sensed even the slightest hint of a trap, she would never step foot inside the venue.As he approached her in the sitting room of their house, panic shot through him.His palms became sweaty.His throat suddenly felt dry.What would he say? Would she agree?She had to. Everything he loved depended on it.He couldn't

  • Fall In Love, My Billionaire CEO   CHAPTER 166: CONSPIRING WITH ABBY'S PARENTS.

    An uncomfortable feeling settled in Abby's gut.She stood at the entrance of the living room, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the strap of her bag.Something wasn't right.The way her parents were sitting there, the unfamiliar man in front of them, and most importantly, the way her father had looked at Ethan the moment they walked through the door all made her feel as though she had walked into the middle of a conversation she was never supposed to hear.“What do you mean you've been expecting him, Dad?” She asked, eyeing her father suspiciously.Harrison didn't answer immediately.His silence only made Abby more suspicious.Her eyes flickered to the stranger in the room, questions immediately flooding her head.He looked like he was reporting something to Harrison.There was a folder resting on the table between them, several papers sticking out from it, and the man had the serious expression of someone who had come to deliver information rather than pay a casual visit.S

No explanation that could erase the image she had walked in on or the lies that had been carefully built around her without her knowledge. He could see the betrayal written all over her face, and somehow, that hurt more than the anger.He had expected Abby to be angry when she eventually found out.He just hadn't expected to see that much hurt in her eyes.What he couldn't believe, however, was Beatrice lying against him.His eyes briefly shifted toward Beatrice, and disbelief flashed across his face.Even now, he couldn't understand how everything had spiraled this far.All that for Claire's trust?He clenched his fists, digging his nails into his palm.He needed something to anchor him.His thoughts were moving too quickly, jumping from one problem to another, an

    The realization of what Beatrice was about to do soon dawned on Ethan.Immediately, he got to his heels, turning sharply and blocking Beatrice's path.Without hesitation, Beatrice swerved, stumbling into the classroom.Abby's eyes widened as soon as she saw her.Confusion laced her features.“What is going on?” She asked, a tinge of concern in her tone.At the same time, Ethan walked in, his eyes darting between her and Beatrice.Abby looked at him. “Ethan… you guys are scaring me. What's happening?” Her voice shook slightly as she spoke.Beatrice walked towards her, holding Abby's hand.“There's something you need to know,” she said.“B, stop! I'll tell her myself!” Ethan said sternly, walking forward.“You had the entire day, Ethan!” She hissed back at him. “You're too late.”She shot him a menacing look, one she only had when she was about to wreak havoc.Abby's worry deepened even further. She could sense the overwhelming tension building between the siblings, and for some reason

  • Fall In Love, My Billionaire CEO   CHAPTER 163: GETTING TOO CLOSE.

    Ethan strode down the hallway to Abby's classroom with nothing but determination pumping out of his heart.He swung the classroom's door open, his eyes searching fervently for Abby.Luckily for him, the class was empty.Abby sat alone in a corner, her ears plugged and it looked like she was scribbling something.As soon as his eyes fell on her, his heart melted instantly.It felt like a wave of calm washed over him, taking all his troubles away.He rolled his hands into fists, a muscle jumping in his jaw when he remembered the reason he came looking for her.How was he going to reveal the truth to her? That his first encounter with her was staged? That he was the son of her mother's enemy?“Abby,” he called, his voice firm, yet soft, like velvet on skin.Abby looked up, her face immediately spreading into a sweet smile.She pushed herself out of her chair, running straight into his open arms.“Ethan!” She cried happily, hugging him tightly. “What're you doing here?”His hands wrapped

  • Fall In Love, My Billionaire CEO   CHAPTER 162: ETHAN'S REAL MOTIVE.

    Ethan shifted uncomfortably in his seat opposite Claire.The room felt colder than usual, despite the fact that the temperature had not changed. Perhaps it was the silence between them, or maybe it was simply the way Claire looked at him whenever she spoke about their mission.He looked blankly at her, his stomach twisting with each words she spewed.There was something about sitting across from Claire that always made Ethan feel like he was being watched even when she wasn't looking directly at him. Every movement had to be calculated, every answer carefully considered.“You will ask her out to the dance tonight and get all the information I just mentioned from her,” she said, looking up from her iPad.Her tone left no room for discussion.Ethan stared at her for a moment before leaning back slightly in his chair.“Wouldn’t she think it's weird that I want to know about her parents' company?” Ethan asked, mischief glinting in his eyes.He already knew the answer, but he wanted to hea
