Chapter 131: Back from the dead

ETHAN

Surprise!🫢

Few weeks ago

Pain. That was the first thing I registered. A dull, aching weight pressed against my chest, making every breath feel like a battle. My body felt heavy, my head foggy.

The steady beep of machines reached my ears. Hospital.

I forced my eyes open, blinking against the bright overhead lights. My vision was blurry at first, but when it cleared, I saw Emily.

She was sitting beside my bed, hands clasped tightly together, eyes fil

  • Her Dangerous DesiresĀ Ā Ā With all my heart

    Chapter 140: With all my heart ETHAN The soft hum of the television filled the living room as I scrolled through my phone absentmindedly. The news anchor’s voice droned on about economic fluctuations, political scandals—nothing that interested me. That was until I heard Smith Cole’s name. I glanced up at the screen. The bold letters at the bottom of the screen made my eyebrows lift. ā€œBREAKING NEWS: BUSINESS TYCOON SMITH COLE FOUND DEAD IN PRISON CELLā€ I sat up, the remote slipping from my fingers. ā€œAccording to sources, Smith Cole was found unresponsive in his cell early this morning. While initial reports suggest suicide, investigations are still ongoing.ā€ I grabbed my phone and immediately dialed Greg. He picked up after two rings. ā€œI was wondering how long it’d take you to call.ā€ I didn’t waste time. ā€œDid you hear the news?ā€ Greg chuckled. ā€œI knew the news before the news knew.ā€ I froze. ā€œDamn, don’t tell me you were behind this.ā€ There was a pau

    Chapter 139: OliviaMIA A Month Later.Time didn’t erase the grief I felt, but it softened the pain a little. A few months had passed since my dad’s death and Smith Cole’s sentencing, and while the pain still lingered, life had started moving forward. Uncle Greg had stepped up as the CEO of Evans Group, and surprisingly, he was doing a damn good job. It wasn’t just about running the company; it was about maintaining what dad had built. With Marvin by his side, helping in ways none of us had expected, the company was thriving again. His kids, Derrick and Amanda, had finally settled into life in New York. Amanda was adjusting well to her new school, making friends and embracing the city. Derrick became quieter but sharp as ever, and had taken a liking to Marvin. Watching my brother interact with them, laughing and being… normal, gave me hope. Ava moved out of the city after Dad's funeral, she said this city reminded her of him and if she needed to move on, she had to leave.Aunt

  • Her Dangerous DesiresĀ Ā Ā Camping

    Chapter 138: CampingETHANThe drive to the cemetery was silent. Mia stared out the window, her fingers playing with the hem of her sweater. I knew she was deep in thought, maybe even trying to find the right words to say when we got there. I reached over, placing my hand over hers. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." She exhaled, nodding slightly but didn't look at me. When we arrived, she hesitated before stepping out of the car. The cemetery was quiet, the only sound being the rustling of leaves in the wind. I followed behind her, giving her space as she walked up to her father’s grave. She kneeled, tracing the name on the tombstone with her fingers. "Hi, Dad," she whispered. "It's been a while." I stayed back, leaning against the car, letting her have her moment. She wiped her eyes. "We won, you know. We got him. Smith Cole is going to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life. Uncle Greg made sure of it." She let out a shaky breath. "But it d

    Chapter 137: Together, We're strongerMIA"Mia, are you okay?" I heard as I woke up with a gasp, cold water dripping down my face. My heart pounded as my vision adjusted, and I saw Sophie kneeling beside me, her face filled with concern. I blinked rapidly, struggling to make sense of what had just happened. The last thing I remembered was seeing Ethan.Ethan, who was supposed to be dead, was standing in that courtroom. My chest tightened. Was I hallucinating? Was I losing my mind? ā€œThank goodness you're awake, you scared us Mia.ā€ Aunt Cecilia exclaimed.I ignored her, ā€œWasn't that Ethan? I need to be sure, let's go back to the courtroom.ā€I struggled to get up and headed back into the courtroom, aunt Cecilia and Sophie behind me. Then I heard the judge’s voice. ā€œIn light of the overwhelming evidence presented to this court, Smith Cole is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.ā€ My head snapped toward the judge’s bench. The courtroom was dead s

  • Her Dangerous DesiresĀ Ā Ā Plea deal

    Chapter 136: Plea dealAUTHOR POVThe world around Smith Cole was crumbling. Politicians who once shook his hand in private meetings were now scrambling to erase any connection to him. Some fled the country entirely, disappearing into private jets with hastily packed bags, their families already on their way to safe havens overseas. George Ramsey, one of Smith’s closest allies, wiped the sweat off his brow as he rushed through a VIP airport terminal. ā€œWhere’s the damn pilot?ā€ he snapped at his assistant, his hands trembling as he checked his watch. ā€œHe’s preparing the jet, sir. Butā€¦ā€ ā€œNo buts! We need to be out of here in ten minutes!ā€ The assistant hesitated. ā€œSir, the feds are looking into your accounts. If you leave now, it’llā€¦ā€ ā€œShut up and do as you’re told!ā€ George Ramsey barked before marching toward the boarding gate. Across the city, others were making similar escapes. Some tried bribing their way out of investigations, while others resigned from their governme

    Chapter 135: Walk freeMARVIN EVANSMia wasn’t the same anymore. Since Dad’s funeral, she had withdrawn into herself, barely speaking, barely eating. I saw it in her eyes, the emptiness. She would sit for hours, staring at nothing, lost in a world none of us could reach. Sophie visited often, trying to get her to eat, to talk, to function. Sometimes, Mia responded with a weak smile or a nod, but most times, she just existed in silence. Greg’s kids were around too, trying to lighten the mood, but it was like talking to a ghost. I knew what she was feeling. I felt it too. Dad was gone, Murdered in cold blood and the bastard who did it was still out there. That changed the day Greg walked in. I was sitting in the living room, flipping through TV channels, not really watching, when Greg strode in with a determined look on his face. ā€œI found him,ā€ he announced. I turned off the TV. Sophie looked up from where she sat beside Mia. Even Mia’s blank expression shifted slightly.
