My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 128: Our golden hour
This night was not just meant to be big,It was going to be incredibly monumental.Ethan wasn’t just opening a hotel after all, he was launching the largest luxury hostel brand spanning the United States and the Philippines.A bold, cross-continental empire built from sweat, strategy, and pure hardworking. And I… somehow ended up being the face of it.No pressure at all.But I was going to calm my nerves since I had established that tonight was important. This was his night and for some reason, Ethan insisted I look like I belonged beside him.I stared at myself in the mirror, a little stunned and the reflection almost didn’t feel like me.It was too perfect, like my mother.I had contacted the stylist that Ethan used to surprise me with back when we were still talking, the ones that invaded my small apartment and insisted I take the makeover glam Ethan had paid for.I had told Ethan that I wanted to work with them and I had contacted them weeks now, prepping looks and visuals for the
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 127: The wife, the mother and the stranger
SOPHIEThe familiar scent of lavender and old books greeted me as I stepped into Rosewood Haven Retirement home.Yes, I was visiting James Callahan's mother, again.. Does Ethan approve of this? No he doesn't, by do I care? Heck no I don't because after all he does stuff I don't approve of all the time.“Miss Sophia,” Hope called from behind the reception desk, adjusting her pink-rimmed glasses as she looked up from her clipboard.She was the receptionist who begged me to continue visiting Rose. “We thought you weren’t coming today. Rose was asking for you all morning.”I smiled, lifting the small paper bag in my hand. “Wouldn’t miss a Saturday, Hope, there was a little delay because of the snacks, I brought her favorite—hazelnut truffles.”Hope chuckled. “That woman’s sweet tooth is legendary. You spoil her, you know.”I gave a small shrug. “She spoils me back.”I walked the path I knew too well, passing paintings she’d told me stories about a dozen times. Rose Callahan had taken a l
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 126: Confronting the devil himself
Ethan's POVMy father was a bastard because that girl, Sophie. The one who had held me together when I was falling apart and also helped me dig through years of lies. And he spat her name like she was nothing, my jaw locked so tight I thought my teeth might crack, and my hands twitched, begging to slam his desk, to wipe that smirk off his face. Sophie’s face flashed in my mind, with her soft eyes, her smile and the fact that she would always have something to say to make me feel better.It took everything not to lunge across the room and scream that she was worth more than he had ever been.That she had done more for me in months than he had in my whole damn life.But I didn’t because If I let him bait me, I would lose the edge I needed. This wasn’t about Sophie, not right now.It was about my mother.“Digging, actually.” I said in a montone.I couldn’t hold back much longer, he paused and then I saw a crack in his facade, so small most people wouldn’t notice.But I did.I had spen
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 125: The devil himself
Ethan's POV I was going to confront my father today, I hadn't slept a wink since I last saw Callahan.Of course I knew what my father had done but seeing mountains of evidence backing it up it's a different kind of pain.And the fact that my mother might have still died loving him was beyond fucked up.Ii struggled to button my shirt because of how riled up my mind was. Everything was going wrong today. I lost my favourite pose or cufflinks and the knot of my tie came loose twice before I finally got it right. My hands were steady but my chest was in a riot. I wasn’t nervous. No. I was ready. There was a difference.I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer's phone number and he picked up on the second ring.“Gavin, it’s Ethan Blackwood. I want to file a case.”“Against?” My lawyer sounded curious and then cautious as if she remembered who was talking to.“Robert Blackwood.” My voice didn’t shake even though if I thought it will He took a long pause as if he wasn't expecting that
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 124: The final truth
I was going through the stack of files that was a decade of information. It was receipts, reports, prescriptions and a whole lot more and the more I went through it the more gruesome everything looked like. The hospital bills were the first to catch my attention, endless charges for chemotherapy sessions, radiation appointments, blood work. The first one was a bomb blast of evidence. Blackwood, M. Test Type: Oncology Panel Result: Negative for malignancy. My flipped to the next page—another test report, almost identical in structure. This one was from St. Jude’s. Blackwood, M. Result: Stage II carcinoma—malignant cells present. Same date, this was the altered cancer test results Then came the prescriptions, one drug in particular repeating every month. An antiemetic, often paired with chemo from Everest Pharma. I shuffled faster, fingers flying past pages until I landed on the money logs. Wire transfers, Robert Blackwood to Everest Pharma. Robert Blackwood to Everest Pha
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 123: Different side of the same man
"Do you have any evidence of everything you are saying?” Ethan asked after an eternity of silence. “Receipts of the drugs you got, reports, her medical logs. Anything.”Dr. Callahan, squished in the back seat and then he gave a nervous laugh. “Of course I do, that’s the only reason your father still pays me.”Ethan looked genuinely, but he kept them on the road. “What do you mean?”I understood his curiosity because from the short time of knowing Robert Blackwood, he wasn't the type of man who gets blackmailed; he usually does the blackmailing.Callahan cleared his throat. “I kept copies of everything hidden away just in case.” He shrugged, trying to sound casual, but the way his voice shook gave him away. “It’s my lifeline. If something ever happens to me… well, it goes straight to the press. Or the cops.”Ethan chuckled, but it wasn’t funny. “So in essence you are blackmailing my father..”Callahan didn’t answer.“Give it to me,” Ethan said in a way that made it very clear that it w
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 122: The butter truth
I pressed myself against the door, my fingers curling into the armrest, trying to anchor myself in the overly intense chaos of everything. I guess Roberts phone call I my buttressed the fact that we knew he was involved with Callahan at this point the man needed to be nicknamed the freaking puppet master, because he not only loomed over every tragedy in Ethan’s life, but caused them And he was the man who pulled strings with people's lives. Callahan froze, his hand hovering over the phone. His eyes went to Ethan, then to me, pleading for mercy or a way out. “Answer it,” Ethan said. “And remember what I told you. One wrong move, and I will not hesitate to end you, maybe I am my father's son.” I knew Ethan well enough to know that he wasn't joking, I saw the rage in the way his shoulders were square and jaw clenching so tightly I thought his teeth might crack. Callahan swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and fumbled to pick up the phone. His hands trembled as he pressed i
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 121: A conversation with James Callahan
Ethan drove us to the golf club, but I supposed it was the one he played with Dr. Callahan.It was quiet with its wide lawns damp and other things I supposed were to be in a good club, I'm guessing because I have never been to one before.We pulled up near the clubhouse, Ethan’s eyes scanned the well groomed landscape until he spotted Callahan.He was dressed in soft grey slacks and a pristine polo shirt, one hand gloved, the other wrapped around a club. His swing was lazy and arrogant, like a man who didn’t have a care in the world.I could see why Ethan dominated him on the field.As we stopped a few feet away, he turned and smiled when he saw Ethan.“Well, well. Look who finally crawled out of the shadows,” he said smoothly, walking toward us. “You still haven’t taken me up on that rematch, Ethan or are you afraid I will beat you again?”“If my memory serves me right, I remember I was the one winning.”Callahan laughed and raised his hands like he was guilty. “You got me Ethan.”Et
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 120: They are unto us
Rachel took a long pause and then her eyes went to Ethan but I knew her next words were for me.“Do you even know why he is with you, Sophie?” she repeated. “Have you ever asked yourself what he really wants?”Ethan’s body stiffened like she was about to hit a nerve. His jaw clenched and his hands balled into fists at his sides.“Rachel,” he warned.But she ignored him, which was very predictable.She took a single step forward. “He found you at your lowest, didn’t he? When you had no one, when you were confused, vulnerable, lost…” She tilted her head. “That’s what he does. He thrives on women who need saving. But once you’re whole, he’ll walk away. Just like he always does.”My fingers clenched around the edge of my towel, knuckles white. “You’re lying.”Rachel didn’t flinch. “Am I? You never wondered why it was you? Of all people, why the broken, quiet girl who didn’t belong? Or did he make you feel special enough to ignore the math?”I turned to Ethan.He looked at me, but he was n
