When I got back to the house, I was fuming. My heart was beating too fast, my hands shaking, and my head was filled with nothing but Tiara’s face, her voice, her tears, the pain.

“Ethan!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, my voice echoing through the quiet house but no reply.

I was about to turn and go looking for him when I heard the front door shut behind me. I turned sharply, and there he was, walking in like everything was fine. Like the world hadn’t just crumbled around me.

And something in me snapped.

I didn’t think and I didn’t pause. I held the pocket knife tighter in my hand and stormed toward him. My vision blurred, heart pounding, and I swung the knife but he was fast.

He caught the blade with his bare hand, the same hand that was already bandaged and I watched the blood drip instantly from between his fingers.

But he didn’t let go. Didn’t even flinch and he just stared at me making me froze.

Breathing hard, chest heaving, I glared at him.

“You fucking bastard,” I hissed.

  • Forbidden Desire : The Bully’s Sinful Obsession   The Memorial.

    When we arrived at the event, the back door of the car swung open, and he stepped out first. Then he turned, reached his hand toward me, and without hesitation, I took it as I climbed out. The moment we appeared, camera flashes lit up like lightning , reporters calling out, a few fans behind the ropes murmuring and pointing.We both just looked, playing our roles, waving like a picture-perfect couple as we walked the red carpet together, side by side.When we got inside , everyone was dressed in black. The room was thick with quiet conversations, glasses clinking, and the subtle weight of grief in the air. Then I saw it , Isabella’s face printed on a large poster near the stage. I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a moment, until a familiar voice pulled me back.“Crazy, isn’t it?” Dave said, walking up to us with a small group. I recognized most of them from the reunion. “That Isabella Grant actually committed suicide.”“But she did,” a lady added softly. “The autopsy confirmed she ing

  • Forbidden Desire : The Bully’s Sinful Obsession   Rewrite The Story Without Him In It

    When I left Mr. Reynolds’ estate, my mind wouldn’t stop spinning with everything he said.Marry Kael… instead of Ethan?Out of nowhere, he just dropped that like it was the most normal thing in the world. Why now? What’s his angle?I sat in the car, Kael’s number staring back at me on my phone screen. My thumb hovered over the dial. My mind went back to that day, the vase. How Kael didn’t even flinch when he jumped in front of me, taking the hit without hesitation. He brushed it off like it was nothing, but now? Now it’s ruined his swimming career?I was still lost in thought when my phone vibrated. I glanced down and froze.It was Kael.I actually looked around the car like he could somehow see me. What were the odds of him calling right at that moment?I picked up and cleared my throat.“Hello,” I said, trying to sound normal.There was a pause. Then his voice came through, soft but steady.“How are you?”“I’m fine,” I replied.But in my head, a million questions were lining up.Doe

  • Forbidden Desire : The Bully’s Sinful Obsession   The Contract Revealed

    (The Next Day) ———After getting dressed, I was finally ready to head over to Mr. Reynolds’ place. But the second I opened the door, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest.Ethan was standing right there.“Damn, you scared me,” I muttered, placing a hand over my chest. My eyes trailed down to the tray in his hands , toast, jam, something that looked like tea… and medicine.“Don’t tell me you’ve been standing there all this while,” I asked, squinting at him suspiciously.He shook his head. “I just got here. The moment I was about to knock, you opened the door.”Convenient but I wasn’t entirely convinced.He looked me over, his eyes lingering for a second too long on my stomach. “How are you feeling?” he asked, voice soft but steady. I knew exactly what he meant, the cramps.“I’m good, as you can see. And actually, I’m heading out,” I said, brushing past it.He tilted his head slightly, then glanced at the tray in his hands before looking back at me, like he was silently saying, Really

    “You’re back again?” Ethan asked, looking straight at the detectives.“Yes, and this time we’re here with a warrant,” one of them replied, pulling out a folded document and showing it to him.Ethan’s eyes flicked toward me, confused for a second.“Oh, no,” the second detective quickly added, probably noticing the glance. “We’re not here for your girlfriend. We’re actually here for you.”Wait… what?Had Tiara already shown them the video?Why Ethan?“Me?” Ethan echoed with a short, dry chuckle. “Alright then. But give me a few minutes,” he said, sounding way too calm for someone about to be taken in and he walked toward me.“You should eat,” he said quietly.I looked from him to the detectives who were now watching us with visible impatience.“I mean now,” he added, firmer this time. “I need to see you eat and take your medicine before I leave.”Was he being serious right now?One of the detectives, the one who looked like he was in charge, stepped forward. “We don’t have time for…”“I

  • Forbidden Desire : The Bully’s Sinful Obsession   A Warrant??

    I just kept looking at him, not saying a word.“I know you intentionally walked into my life,” he said, eyes fixed on mine but I still didn’t respond.Does he know the truth? No… that can’t be.“I overheard you the day you were talking to Mrs. Mabel,” he continued “You told her you and your friends made some stupid bet. That the goal was to get close to someone powerful, and that you were assigned to me.”My brow lifted slightly as I tried to fully register what he just said.That was when it clicked, I remembered telling Mrs. Mabel that. A lie I used just to gain her trust, and she had believed it. I had no idea Ethan had overheard.“And you told her you started to fall for me the more you got close to me,” he added and I scoffed quietly to myself. “I know that’s a lie,” he said, his voice low, “because it’s obvious you hate me. I see it every time you look at me and that’s what I’m trying to figure out.”The cramps in my stomach started acting up again, but I did everything I could

    I didn’t even know how long I’d been standing there, staring at nothing in particular, until I heard a voice behind me.“So you really chose Ethan over her?” It was Kael. “She told me everything,” he added.I turned around slowly, my throat tightening. “Why are you saying that too?” My voice cracked a bit, so I cleared it. “Seriously, Kael… why are you talking like that?”He walked closer, his face was kinda calm but his eyes were sharp. “Because it looks like it” he said I sighed, frustrated. “I don’t know, okay? I’m not saying Ethan’s perfect. I know he can be dangerous. I’m not stupid. But… there’s just something in me that keeps saying he didn’t do it. He didn’t hurt Tiara,”Kael raised an eyebrow. “And what, you believe that because he told you? That’s it?” He said but I didn’t reply.I didn’t respond right away, I just looked at him.“Look, I know you and Ethan don’t exactly like each other,” I said, holding his gaze, “but he’s still your brother. Deep down, do you really
