Ethan shot to his feet. "What?" he screamed.

Linda was confused. "Didn't you say she wasn't allowed back at the dance company?"

"I said I wouldn't let her come back, but I never said she had to leave. When did this happen?" Ethan questioned.

Linda hesitated. "I told you a few days ago. You said, 'Whatever. Don't worry about her.'"

She paused, then added carefully, "Don't take this the wrong way, but someone as talented as Eve shouldn't be pushed out of the company. If you really didn't wan

  • My Best Friend Danced on My Grave   Chapter 8

    I thought Ethan and I would never have anything to do with each other again.Then, one night after a performance, I ran into him backstage.A staff member stood in his way, blocking him from entering. "Sir, this is a restricted area. Only authorized personnel are allowed backstage."Ethan ignored him and tried to push past. "I'm here to see Evelyn Hayes," he insisted. "I'm her husband!" I frowned and walked over. "What are you doing here?"The moment Ethan saw me, his eyes lit up. He hurried toward me and grabbed my hand. "Eve, I apologized publicly. I cleared up everything about the stand-in dancer, too." His grip tightened as he rushed to explain. "I even transferred Vivian to another branch. She won't bother you again. I swear."He begged, "Please, Eve. Just give me another chance. Come home with me."I yanked my hand free. "Ethan, we're divorced."His expression froze. "You signed the divorce papers yourself. Now that you have time, we can go to the courthouse and ge

  • My Best Friend Danced on My Grave   Chapter 7

    When I arrived in Westbridge City, the dance company's manager was waiting at the airport to pick me up personally.His name was Julian Cross. Tall, handsome, and effortlessly polished, he greeted me with an easy smile before opening the car door for me."We've been trying to get you here forever," he said. "I'm just glad we finally managed to bring you on board."I glanced at him curiously. "What if I have a heart condition? Would you still want me here?"Julian laughed softly. "To be honest, I'm a huge fan of yours. With your talent and experience, having you join our company as a master instructor would be an incredible honor." He paused, then gave me a curious look. "But about that 'what if…'" I smiled. "My heart condition was misdiagnosed. There's nothing wrong with me."Julian's eyes lit up immediately, and his smile widened. "Then I just hit the lottery." …After I arrived in Westbridge City, Julian didn't immediately announce that I had joined his company. Instead,

    After that, public opinion turned completely against Vivian. The internet erupted with criticism. The backlash grew so vicious that she became afraid to leave her house. Ethan searched everywhere for me, but I was nowhere to be found. Desperate, he even went to my parents' house, only to be turned away without a shred of sympathy. With nowhere else to turn, Ethan returned to his office and called Linda in. "Can you get in touch with Eve?" he asked, his voice hoarse. "I need to apologize to her."Linda hesitated before shaking her head. "Mr. Bennett, I really don't think that's a good idea."Ethan's eyes were bloodshot from days of exhaustion. "I don't have any other choice." Linda sighed. "Eve is incredibly talented, and I understand why you want to find her. But right now, your priority has to be keeping the company running." Ethan said nothing. "Valentine's Day is only a couple of days away," Linda continued carefully. "Why don't you use the occasion to do some damage

    Ethan shot to his feet. "What?" he screamed. Linda was confused. "Didn't you say she wasn't allowed back at the dance company?""I said I wouldn't let her come back, but I never said she had to leave. When did this happen?" Ethan questioned. Linda hesitated. "I told you a few days ago. You said, 'Whatever.

If you really didn't want her dancing here, you could've at least made sure she had somewhere else to go."Ethan fell silent as the memory came back to him. Right. She had told him. But at the time, he'd barely been listening. He'd been too caught up in his vacation with Vivian to give it a second thought.Ethan's face went pale. He immediately pulled out his phone and called my number. The call went straight to an automated message saying my phone was turned off. He tried texting me next, only to realize that I'

  • My Best Friend Danced on My Grave   Chapter 4

    Ethan and Vivian flew to Palm Bay for a vacation. Vivian seemed determined to take over everyone's social media feeds with her vacation pictures. In her latest post, she was leaning against Ethan's shoulder, sipping coconut juice with a carefree smile. The caption read, "The boss is paying!"One of our mutual friends commented, "Still calling him 'Boss'? Shouldn't you be calling him something else by now?"Another chimed in, "When are we finally getting those wedding invitations? It's been years."Vivian's reply was deliberately vague. "That's something you'll have to ask the boss about."I blocked and deleted both of them from my social media. Just like that, the world became a little quieter.…"Evelyn, can you teach me that move? I still can't quite get it." The girls were just teenagers. They weren't nearly as complicated as adults. Their admiration was simple and genuine, and with Vivian gone, they naturally gravitated toward me.As we grew closer, they started inviti

    Vivian's face fell the moment I finished.I didn't bother waiting for either of them to say anything. I turned and started toward the door."Stay right there." Ethan's cold voice stopped me in my tracks. "Did I say you could leave?"I slowly turned toward him. "You're going to be Vivian's stand-in for next week's performance," he said. "You'll take her place onstage."I stared at him. "She's given so much to this company," Ethan continued, as if he were doing me some great favor. "This is the perfect opportunity for her to take some time off."Vivian let out a soft chuckle. "Ethan, are you sure that's a good idea?"He ignored her. "You wanted a chance to dance, didn't you?" His tone was flat, almost dismissive. "I'm giving you one. So you'd better learn to appreciate it."He looked at me coldly. "Vivian has built a reputation here. Being her stand-in is already an opportunity most dancers would kill for."Something inside me finally broke. Whatever love I still had for Et
