Ethan stood there, leaning against the kitchen island, as Brielle’s question hung in the air…heavy, uncertain, and a little dangerous

She looked at him, her arms folded, face unreadable, though her eyes were anything but calm.

“The night I came over drunk,” she said again. “Did anything happen between us that I don’t remember?” She rephrased, her patience wearing out.

He hesitated for a while, not sure of what his response should be.

How could he tell her about the night they had spent when she had no memory of it? Didn’t that make him an abuser?

“Fuck.” He whispered to himself, the guilt eating him.

He should have controlled himself even though she practically begged to have sex with him. He should have reminded himself that she was drunk and wasn’t thinking right.

Now, all he was left with was the guilt from that night.

Ethan looked her in the eyes and gave the vaguest reply he could muster without outright lying.

“I put you to bed, Brielle. You were drunk. You slept it off immediat

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 120

    The tension in the Rayne family living room was suffocating. Vivian’s voice rang out, firm and fiery despite the weariness that still clung to her from her hospital stay.“No other woman will be allowed into this house while you’re still married to Brielle,” she said sharply, her tone echoing off the high ceilings.Raymond nodded beside her, arms folded tightly over his chest. “Your mother’s right, Ethan. This is disgraceful. Bringing another woman into the house? While your wife is still here? Are you completely out of your mind?”Ethan stood at the center of the room, surrounded by his family’s disapproval. His jaw was clenched, his brows drawn, but his voice remained level. “We’re not married.”Silence.The room went utterly still.Vivian’s eyes widened, her lips parting as if she’d misheard. “What did you just say?”Ethan’s gaze slid toward Brielle, who stood by the doorway like a ghost…still, silent, pale.“We’re not married,” Ethan repeated. “We’ve been divorced for a while now.

    Vivian sat on the edge of her bed, the gravity of Ethan’s words sinking deeper into her bones with each passing second. The color had drained from her face, her lips parted in disbelief. Her fingers clenched the bedspread as her eyes fixed on her son.“You… you told me she was out of your life,” she whispered, her voice shaky with restrained emotion. “You said you were done with that woman.”Ethan swallowed hard, unable to meet her gaze. “I thought I was. But then she showed up… and told me she was pregnant.”Vivian’s chest rose and fell rapidly. Her breathing turned uneven, as if she was struggling to stay composed. “And you believed her? Just like that? No confirmation? No questions?”“I…I didn’t want to take the risk,” Ethan said, voice low. “If it’s true, I didn’t want to abandon my child.”Vivian let out a bitter laugh. “A child conceived in betrayal? With a woman you claimed meant nothing to you?” Her eyes filled with tears, and she didn’t try to stop them. “I raised you better,

    The long hallway of the hospital stretched before Brielle as she walked briskly, her scrubs still on and her hands slightly sore from a three-hour surgery. Her mind was already drifting to what she might eat when she got home, or maybe what excuse she’d give Ethan to avoid dinner at the Rayne mansion again.Just as she rounded a corner, she bumped lightly into someone tall and firm, someone with a scent she recognized before even seeing his face.“Whoa,” Professor James chuckled, catching her by the elbow before she could step back. “You really need to watch where you’re going, Dr. Rayne.”She looked up at him and laughed, shaking her head. “Sorry, I was lost in thought.”“Let me guess, thinking about our dinner date in a week’s time?” he teased, winking at her.Brielle blinked. “Dinner?” She looked confused. James tilted his head, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. “You forgot, didn’t you?”She paused, embarrassed, but quickly recovered. “Of course I didn’t forget. I’m just… overw

    The cafeteria buzzed with faint chatter, the clinking of plates, and the occasional burst of laughter from tables scattered around. At a small table by the far window, Brielle sat across from Hannah, stirring her juice absently with a straw.Hannah was digging into a plate of pasta, her demeanor light and relaxed. “This place still has the best food, honestly. Even with all the chaos lately,” she said, offering a bright smile.Brielle smiled weakly in return, her mind already playing out the words she was about to say.She needed to be careful. Every syllable had to feel organic, unrehearsed. She had spent days tracking and listening, pretending not to see what was in front of her. But now, it was time to start laying the trap.“Hannah,” she said suddenly, setting her juice aside, “can I be honest with you about something personal?”Hannah looked up quickly, a flicker of concern in her eyes. “Of course. What’s going on?”Brielle gave a soft sigh and leaned slightly closer, lowering he

    Ethan paced near the kitchen island, fingers tapping against the marble countertop as the smell of fresh coffee filled the air. Brielle stood a few feet away, arms crossed but face composed, watching him with subtle curiosity.“So,” Ethan said, turning to face her, “you’re really sure about this?”She nodded. “Jessica isn’t just manipulative. She’s dangerous. If we want to protect ourselves and everyone else she has to be exposed.”Ethan’s jaw clenched, his voice dropping into a low, serious tone. “Then we’ll play her. Make her think I’m still on her side.”Brielle blinked, surprised at how easily he stepped into the role. “Can you pull that off? She might get suspicious if you suddenly change your behavior.”“I’ve done worse,” Ethan replied with a grim smile. “She wants me to fall for her story? I’ll give her exactly what she wants, until the moment it caves in on her.”His eyes were sharp with determination, and for the first time in weeks, Brielle saw the man he was before everythi

    The morning sun peeked through the white linen curtains, casting a soft glow across Brille’s skin. She stirred beneath the covers, eyes fluttering open slowly as the faint sound of a hushed conversation reached her ears.She turned her head and spotted Ethan by the window, phone pressed to his ear, pacing the room quietly.“Yes, I saw it, Frederick,” he said, running a hand through his messy hair. “Just take it down. I don’t care what story you use, say it’s fake or manipulated. Just handle it.”Brielle sat up slowly, pulling the covers around her chest. “What’s going on?”Ethan turned toward her, surprised she was awake. He hesitated for a moment before walking over and offering her his phone. On the screen was a tabloid article, the headline written in bold red:“Ethan Rayne Caught Outside Woman’s Apartment Late at Night…Trouble in Paradise?”Underneath it was a grainy photo of him sitting on Ella’s steps looking miserable.Brielle blinked and burst out laughing.It was a full-bodie
