"I found a picture of Keanu and a woman in his bookshelf," I said. "It looks like it was taken a long time ago and they looked very happy."

"Okay," Sharon drawled uncertainly. "What was that woman like?"

"She had strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, and she was very beautiful." I cleared my throat. "I just want to know... was that Maura?"

"Shit," Sharon muttered under her breath. "He still has pictures of her?"

"So it is her," I said, getting my answer.

Sharon nodded. "Yes

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   Chapter 143

    ~~ETHEL~~I didn't expect to fall asleep the entire night. And I didn't. I lay on the bed in Maya's guest room just staring at the ceiling until the clouds outside the window gradually turned sunny.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.The door opened, and Maya walked in carrying a tray. "Good morning."She set the tray on the nightstand. "I ordered some muffins and made hot chocolate. Just the way you like it."I forced myself to sit up. "Thank you."She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me expectantly. I stared at the tray, the food, the steam rising from the cup and all it did was make my stomach turn."I'm not hungry.""Ethel, you didn't eat anything last night and it's already late morning." She tilted her head. "You should at least try to have a few bites. For me.""Please, Maya. I don't want to eat."I already felt nauseous. I knew the moment I tasted anything, I was going to throw it up.She pressed the tray toward me. "Just one bite—""I said I don't wa

    ~~KEANU~~The porch was dark. I hadn't turned on the lights when I returned. I'd just sat down on the wooden floorboards, my back against the railing, and stared at nothing.My father's pendant was still in my hand. I'd been holding it for what felt like hours, turning it over and over, feeling the weight of it.Ten years of searching for it, hoping it would lead me to the murderer, and all this time it had been sitting in David Sterling's drawer. That's where it had been. In the drawer of a man who had watched my father die.The same man whose medical debts I'd cleared and pre-paid for any procedure he might need in the future. The fucking bastard must've been laughing at me the entire time.And Ethel had known the truth for three days. Three days she'd looked at me and said she loved me, and all that time, she'd known exactly who her father was.Car headlights swept across the porch, blinding me for a moment. I squinted and raised a hand to block the light until the engine cut off a

    ~~ETHEL~~At some point through my tears, I must have fallen asleep on the arm of the couch. The sound of the door opening jerked me awake. I shot to my feet instantly, my heart lurching with a hope I knew was stupid but couldn't stop.Keanu had come back. He'd had time to think. He understood. He was going to—It wasn't Keanu.Edwards stood in the doorway, his expression neutral as he took in the scene. Me standing there with the sheets still wrapped around me, my face probably blotchy and swollen from crying."Miss Sterling," he said. His eyes flicked down to the sheets, before he turned his gaze and his body away. "I came to drive you back to the city."I stared at him for a moment, my brain struggling to process his words. I looked past him toward the dark porch. Keanu's car that had brought us here was gone. Edwards had come in a different one."What about Keanu?" I asked, my voice hoarse.Edwards paused. "From my understanding, he will come later with his car."My stomach sank.

    ~~ETHEL~~My mouth dried up like the desert. The pendant sat in Keanu's palm like an accusation, catching the dim light from the cabin windows. I stared at it, and my vision blurred at the edges for a moment.This wasn't the way it was supposed to go. I had just been planning to tell him. I had promised myself I would tell him when I woke up. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.Keanu's face wasn't angry. It was confused. His brow was furrowed, his eyes searching mine like he was trying to solve a puzzle that didn't make sense. That was almost worse than anger."Ethel." He said my name carefully, like he was trying not to spook me. "Where did you find this? This is my father's pendant. Did you find it somewhere? Did you buy it from a store?" He walked towards me. "Why didn't you tell me?""I found it at my father's apartment." I forced the words from my throat.Keanu paused. "Your father's apartment?""Yes."He looked down at the pendant, then back at me. "Where did he find it?"I

    ~~KEANU~~Waking up to Ethel curled in my arms hadn't stopped being my favourite thing and I knew it never would. Her breathing slow and even, her face peaceful in sleep.I watched her for a long time, taking in the curve of her cheek, the dark sweep of her lashes, and the pendant resting against her collarbone.My pendant. The one I had put around her neck and never wanted to take back.She was so beautiful. And these past few days, when she had been pulling away from me, had nearly destroyed me.The distance wasn't completely gone. I could still feel it there. But making love to her today had been different. She had been more present than she had been in days.She had told me she was scared of losing me. I believed her. I also knew that wasn't all of it. There was something else she wasn't telling me yet.But I wasn't going to push. I would show her, with my patience and my love, that she had no reason to be afraid.Sliding out of the bed, I made sure not to wake her. I pulled on my

    ~~ETHEL~~Keanu's eyes widened, his mouth opening with a soft gasp. He was so full in my throat my eyes watered from the effort it took not to gag."That's it, sweetheart," he said hotly, appreciation lacing every single word. "You're so fucking beautiful. I could watch you like this forever."He gave a shallow thrust, and I moaned around him and cupped his ass, urging him not to hold back. He withdrew to the tip, then slid right back in. Slow and gentle yet insistent into my throat each time.His breathing became harsher with each thrust, and I knew he was close. But suddenly, his grip tightened on my face, pulling me to my feet."Come here, love," he whispered, lifting me into his arms, and I automatically wrapped my legs around his waist. "I need to feel all of you now."He carried me down the short hallway to the bedroom. It had a normal-sized bed that was made, the sheets spotless without a stain.Keanu gently laid me down before stepping back to strip off his shirt and completel

    ~~ETHEL~~The day of the party arrived like it couldn't wait.Maya had arrived at my flat two hours before Keanu was due to pick me up, armed with a makeup bag the size of a small suitcase. Her energy suggested she'd been looking forward to this more than I had."Stop moving," she muttered, hoverin

    ~~ETHEL~~ Keanu drove me back to my flat just as he insisted. The car was filled with silence, something I usually welcomed. But now, I hated it. He had his gaze fixed on the road, those strong hands gripping the wheel, his calm expression giving nothing away. I, on the other hand, felt lik
