I was still reeling, and Tiara wasn’t letting up.

"You might want to speak with the reporter yourself," she said in a low tone. "But he’s insisting on keeping his identity anonymous."

I glanced in Ethan’s direction. He stood there, casually leaning against the wall, watching me, his lips curved in a small, smile.

I turned back to Tiara, still trying to process. “You really think it was him? Why the hell would he do something like that to Levi?”

She raised a brow. “Are you seriously asking that right now? You, of all people?”

Her eyes narrowed slightly. “What happened between you two last night?”

My stomach twisted, and I quickly looked away. “No…nothing. Absolutely nothing happened.”

Except the dream.

That stupid, heated, messy dream I’d rather erase from existence. But I wasn’t about to tell her that.

She tilted her head, eyeing me like she could read my thoughts. I tried to keep my expression blank.

“You didn’t even return my calls,” I said, changing the subject.

She scoffed. “Retur

    After seeing all that, my first instinct was to grab my phone and call Tiara. My hands were shaking so badly I nearly dropped it as I tapped her name.She didn’t pick up.“Come on, Tiara... pick up, pick up,” I muttered, pacing as my heart beat louder with each ring.Still nothing.My thoughts were spiraling. How could this be possible?Did this mean Ethan knew me before I even came here?Did he know I was Skylar all along?No. No, that can’t be. That’s impossible… right?Just then, my phone buzzed in my hand. It was Tiara.“Hello Tiara!” I said the moment I answered.“Levi’s okay,” she said quickly, like she already knew that was my biggest concern. And honestly, it was at least, until a few minutes ago.“Thank God,” I breathed out, but I didn’t waste time. “Tiara, listen. That’s good to know, but something’s not right. I think Ethan... I think he’s known who I am this whole time. Even before I met him.”“What??” she practically yelled, and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me.“

    The moment I opened the link, my eyes flew wide. I pushed my chair back with a loud scrape and jumped to my feet.“What the hell…” I whispered, scrolling through the headline, my heart pounding.Ethan was still sitting there, just watching me but this wasn’t about him. Not now.I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed Tiara. Straight to voicemail.“She literally just sent me this... why is her phone off now of all times?” I muttered, hitting redial, still nothing.But then it hit me, Tiara wasn’t the one I needed to call.I dialed Levi next. The line rang once, twice then dead. Switched off.Damn it. I had to go.I turned and rushed upstairs, straight into the dressing room. I rifled through the racks until I found something and then I tossed it on the bed.And of course, that was the exact moment Ethan chose to walk in.He glanced at the dress, then at me, like he was trying to piece it together.“And where exactly are you going?” he asked“I’m going to work,” I said, snatching the

    “Emily?” I repeated, staring at her.Mrs Mabel immediately looked up, almost like she’d been snapped out of a daze.“What?” she asked, blinking like she’d just realized I was there.“You just said someone’s name… Emily,” I said.She smiled faintly and turned back to what she was doing. “Oh, I must’ve lost it for a second,” she said casually. “Can you pass me that paste over there?”She was definitely trying to change the subject.I followed her hand and passed the paste to her, but I wasn’t letting it go.“So… who is Emily?” I asked, watching her closely.She paused just slightly, just enough to notice before adding the paste to the pot.“Is she like… his first love or something?” I pressed.This time, she closed the pot slowly and turned to face me.“Why exactly did you decide to get close to Ethan?” she asked instead.Seriously?Throwing a question at me to dodge mine?And how was I supposed to answer that when Ethan himself didn’t even know the full truth?I stayed quiet, and when

    When I didn’t answer, he took a step closer.“So, you’re here for revenge?” he asked looking at me. I had to be careful, if he didn’t know my real reason yet, I wasn’t about to give it away.“What are you talking about?” I replied, keeping my voice steady. He studied me for a moment, like trying to figure out a puzzle.“The more I get to know you, the more confusing you become. You try to seduce me, even though you clearly don’t have feelings for me. Then you just waltz into my life, saying you want to help, but I can’t shake the feeling you’re after something,” he said in a low voice but I just kept quiet.“Are you trying to use me to get to my father? Or what exactly?” He asked but after few seconds, he smirked. “Why do I even bother? You’re not going to answer.” Then he chuckled, a dark sound that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“But still... like I said before, you’re the first woman who’s ever caught my attention. Every day I find myself wanting to know more about you,” he admitted,

    My eyes shot open and I suddenly sat up, taking in where I was. The couch. I was still on the couch.It was just a dream.A stupid, messed-up dream.Why on earth would I dream something like that? And with him, the one I hated the most?What’s wrong with me?Maybe it’s because I’m sleeping here for the first time?No, wait. That’s not right. It’s not the first time I’ve stayed here, and the last time, I didn’t have any erotic dreams like this.Then my eyes caught the blanket draped over me. I didn’t even remember pulling it over myself. How did it get there?“You awake?” a voice broke the silence.I turned and saw Ethan, fully dressed, walking into the kitchen area.My gaze flicked between the blanket and then back to him as he poured himself a glass of milk or something.Nothing happened last night, I told myself firmly. It was just a dream. A messy, stupid dream that made me feel disgusted with myself.“The blanket?” I said softly, surprised at how low and unsure my voice sounded
