My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter fifty-eight: She tripped and fell
I stormed back into the office, my heart still racing from our argument in the car. My face was beet red as whispers filled the air. I mean, Ethan Blackwood had carried me out of the office bridal-style. Maybe they all thought we went for a quickie. The flowers at my desk were gone. Thank God. If I had to throw another temper tantrum, someone was getting set on fire and it was going to be Ethan. I collapsed into my chair, finally accepting the harsh truth—Ethan Blackwood was the weapon fashioned against me. And I needed to end this, t job, this situation—whatever the hell this thing between us was. Before I could think twice, I clicked open my email and began typing my resignation. Dear Mr. Blackwood, I hesitated for a minute as my fingers hovered over the keyboard, but the words blurred in my mind. What was I even supposed to say? That I was quitting because my boss was an arrogant, insufferable control freak who made me feel things I didn’t want to feel? That I needed to run

I should have known Ethan Blackwood wouldn’t just book a regular flight like a normal human being. No—he had to go over the top, proving once again that being extra was practically his full-time job. The moment I arrived at the airport, there was no check-in, no security lines—just a sleek black luxury car waiting to whisk me straight to a private jet. Because of course, Ethan Blackwood wouldn’t fly commercial like the rest of us. His initials, EB, were embossed in gold on the side, just in case anyone forgot who the plane belonged to. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had hand-picked my wardrobe for the trip. Everything had already been taken care of. My passport, my visa, my itinerary—probably even the contents of my suitcase. It should have infuriated me. Instead, I found myself gripping the handle of my suitcase a little tighter, because something about how easily he took over my life was making my stomach flip in ways I didn’t want to acknowledge. Ethan was already

"I'm going to kiss you now," Ethan murmured, his voice dangerously low.I practically stopped breathing.His fingers brushed my jaw as the space between us shrunk to nothing. My heart pounded with every nerve screaming in anticipation.I should move. I should say something, but I didn’t and then there was a loud unwelcoming knock.I jerked back so fast I nearly fell off the seat. My face burned with embrssement and my lips still tingling from the kiss that almost happened but he didn’t even flinch his gaze just stayed locked on mine for a second longer than necessary, his fingers grazing my wrist before he finally let go.The person knocked again even more insistent this time."Come in?" Ethan said adjusting his tie.The cabin door swung open and in a very polished, very enthusiastic flight attendant with a pretty smiled stepped in.And of course she had to be gorgeous.“Mr. Blackwood,” she purred, stepping forward with the kind of effortless grace in heels that I could never manage—e

The drive from the airport was seamless in the luxury car. I slid on my sunglasses, enjoying the the feel of the sun as the sight of the ocean that sparkled like I was in a movie. palm trees lined the road swaying gently in the breeze, and the salty air carried was almost intoxicating, a girl could get use to this kind of treatment.It should have been breathtaking, but I could barely appreciate it—because of the man sitting next to me.Ethan Blackwood.He lounged in his seat, scrolling through his phone like he didn’t have a single worry in the world, while I sat stiffly beside him, still trying to wrap my head around the reality of this trip.A full week in the Philippines. With him.I crossed my arms and shot him a glare. “Are you finally going to tell me what these ‘special plans’ of yours are?”He didn’t even glance up. “No.” he said in a monotone.I clenched my jaw. “Seriously?”Only then did he look at me, his lips curving into that his usually infuriating smirk. “Patience, li

I loudly said every curse word I could think of as I dragged my suitcase inside—something that Ethan should be doing instead of standing there, all relaxed, leaning against the doorframe like this was some kind of luxury vacation.Which it was!"You're being dramatic, Sophie," he said, finally setting his phone down on the nightstand. "It’s just a bed."I turned around to glare at him. "Just a bed?" My voice came out in an annoyingly high pitch. "It’s the only bed!"He just shrugged my tantrum off. "It’s big enough for the both of us," he said, as if it were the simplest thing in the world."I am not sharing a bed with you.""Suit yourself." He casually unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt and rolled them up, revealing his forearms in that effortless way that only made him more infuriating and... annoyingly hot.Then, to make things worse, he walked over and sprawled onto the bed like he owned the damn thing."You are an absolute prick."He only stretched his arms over his head, smirking

When I woke up, I was warm, cozy and extremely comfortable and most then I wasn’t on my side of the bed anymore.My leg was tangled with Ethan’s, my head rested against his hard chest, and worst of all—his arm was firmly wrapped around my waist.What the hell—My breath hitched as my sluggish brain pieced together the situation. I wasn’t just curled into Ethan—I was tangled with him. His leg was draped over mine, his hand resting on my stomach, his entire body pressed against me.I was spooning with the devil.I was panicking, not knowing what to do next, finally an idea clicked I carefully tried to shift out of his hold without waking him up, that was until I felt it.Oh. My. God.I went rigid as I realized that his very 'solid situation' was pressed against my lower back.My body locked up instantly. Nope. Nope. Nope, I didn't want to feel his hard on against me, and why did it make me feel this way?"Ethan," I hissed, trying to wriggle away.The arm around me only tightened as he

I was dressed to Kill I couldn't help but smile at my own reflection feeling more than satisfied as I adjusted the bust area of the red dress that clung to every inch of me like a second skin, it had a slit that was dangerously high and an off shoulder neckline. Since Ethan had decided to pack my bags, I might as well wear the most tempting dress in the pile after all. If he wanted to drag me into this game, I would play. I could already imagine his reaction when he saw me, the way his jaw would tighten, and the look eyes before he forced himself to act unaffected. He thought he was untouchable, tonight I would make sure he wasn’t. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I was not disappointed, he was standing near the suite’s minibar, fixing his cufflinks. The moment his eyes landed on me, I saw the way his jaw drilled, his eyes accessed my entire outfit as I knew he was more than pleased. I tried to stop myself from grinning Gotcha! “Something wrong, Mr. Blackwood?” I asked, feigni
Last Updated : 2025-03-21My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter sixty-five: Ethan's Breaking Point
Finally Ethan looked at me ready to speak, my breathing calmed as I assumed that he going to defend me, but boy was I wrong."She’s ambitious, but she still has a lot to learn about how these deals work and besides I don't expect her to speak for me.” His words were like the finally blow, the room felt too small as I was in the hot seat and he was the one who put me there.I clenched my fists under the table, my nails digging into my palms to keep my expression neutral. But Ethan just kept looking at me like he was waiting for me to crack.Camille’s smirk widened, as I could see everyone silently waiting for me to embarrass myself.I exhaled slowly If they wanted to test me, then fine. I would pass.I turned to Mr. Ventura, straightening my shoulders.“Blackwood Corp isn’t just another corporation throwing money at expansion.” My voice was steady giving the illusion that I wasn't about to shit my pants “It’s a powerhouse that’s mastered the balance between calculated risk and strateg

I turned back to Ethan, his hand still hovering like he wanted to reach for me again but didn’t dare.“Ethan,” I said, almost begging him to say, “What were you going to say?”His eyes met mine. “Don’t trust her, Sophie.”My pulse jumped. “Why? Make me believe you just don't tell me what to do.” He opened his mouth to speak but then Rachel appeared with a smile on her face.She was dressed in something effortless and expensive, her designer sunglasses pushed up into her waves. She looked like a magazine cover come to life.“Sophie, oh my God,” she said, eyeing me from head to toe. “That dress is stunning on you, you’re glowing!”I blinked, still wanting Ethan to speak, but I could tell he wasn't going to Rachel's gaze went right past Ethan like he wasn’t even breathing in the same room.“I’m parked outside. Come on, they’re expecting us you are gonna thank me by noon.”She held out her hand and I was about to take it, Ethan stepped between us.“She’s not going with you.”Rachel’s sm
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 117: Her apology and his warning
Sophie's POVRachel kept on talking as if what Ethan was saying wasn't her concern.“Well don't listen to Ethan, what I planned was amazing.” Her eyes gleaming with excitement. “It will be just us girls and I have got us booked at Valentina’s, with all the VIP things, steam rooms, facials, massages—the works.” She paused and glared at Ethan. “You will love it, Sophie. So relaxing, play you need to loosen up.”I opened my mouth, unsure what to say.Ethan didn’t say anything., but I could sense that he had a lot to say. “I thought it would be nice for her to get a break from all… this.”She waved vaguely toward him, but we both knew what she meant, that Ethan was the problem here.That’s when Ethan coughed out loud.Rachel flinched before regaining her sugar-drenched composure. “Just saying—it’s bonding and I am trying.”Ethan stepped forward, clenching his jaw. “Sophie is not going anywhere.”Rachel scoffed, tossing her hair over her shoulder like the queen of chaos she thought she wa
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 116: Ethan's damage control
Sophie's POVEthan was pacing my room, like a mad man on rampage and I actually understood where he was coming from.“He’s been sending money to Callahan.” He repeated.He kept walking and then finally he started staggering and the, his back but the wall and he sank like his legs gave up on him, he looked like he was about to drown.His hands clawed at his shirt, as he was hyperventilating.I walked up to him and then dropped to my knees to stay beside him. “Ethan, hey please look at me.”But he didn’t look.“Ethan—look at me.” I repeated as I cupped his face trying to make him feel calm, my thumbs brushed over his cheeks. His eyes were glassy like he wanted to cry, but he was trying to hold it together.“Breathe with me,” I said calmly. “Okay? In... one, two... hold it. Now out. Nice and slow.”I repeated it until I felt him mimic my breathing and then his breathing calmed down, our backs were against the wall looking like two people whose life was over.He let his head fall forward
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 115: THE UNINVITED GUEST
Sophie's POVI didn't know what to say, but Ethan was giving me a very apologetic look, but my look was anything but accommodating.He needed to know that his mere presence wasn't going to change anything.“What the hell are you doing in my house?”“I need just five minutes of your time.” He said and I nodded because it was rare to see Ethan Blackwood begging for something from a common girl like me. “I came to apologize.”A laugh escaped from my lips before I could stop it. “It’s a little too late for that, don’t you think?”“Sophie—”“No, do not say my name like we are still fine and like you didn’t shut me down and tell me to mind my business when all I did was trying to care.”He flinched at words, I was pleased that she was flinching like he should.“I was angry and I wasn’t thinking—”“Exactly,” I cut him short. “You weren’t thinking Ethan you were freaking spiraling, and I tried to help and you practically told me to disappear.”His silence only made me more angry and when I lo
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 114: Golfing with the enemy
Ethan's POVI have been missing Sophie, and I have been a terrible asshole that doesn't deserve her one bit.she was too kind, he was like a freaking saint who but up with me ever fucking time, she could do way better than a broken bastard like me but she still stayed.But it doesn't change the fact that I still wanted her.I know I hurt her. Maybe not with my hands, but with my words first and then my silence.I could apologize. But I won’t, because apologies don’t fix people like me.I want to make myself believe that she was better off without a sadistic mother fucker like me and a woman like her needs someone softer, who doesn’t wake up every morning with a bitter ass mood and snaps when he didn't .Still… I miss her.But not enough to seek her out.But the only thing I've been doing right this week is following Callahan, and the bastard's life was indeed monotonous.I parked my car behind him, as he stepped out of his sleek black BMW at Silver Pines Golf Club, he was laughing int
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 113: The week he wasn't there
ONE WEEK LATER- Sophie's POVIt had been a week, seven freaking long, quiet days since Ethan last spoke to me.He hadn’t called or even texted, I didn't even get a forwarded meme or a “hey.”And I didn’t reach out either, not because I didn’t want to, but because I meant what I said. If he wants to talk to me, he knows where to find me.And more importantly, he owed me an apology. I wasn’t going to chase someone who could so easily brush me off like I was just another person in his life So when Monday came and I went to the site for the hotel expansion because we have been neglecting it. If he wanted to pretend I didn’t exist, fine. I could still work without him.I didn't know if it was because I hadn't been here for a while but everything came together just perfectly, to say that it was stunning was an incredible understatement.It was regal with floor to ceiling windows and it didn’t look like something built in under a year.“This is impressive,” I muttered to myself as I smooth
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 112: Not everything stays buried.
We were just about to leave when the receptionist called me back."Miss? Miss — could I have a word?"I turned, blinking, to find her standing halfway out from behind her desk, her hands were fidgeting nervously with the hem of her cardigan as she glanced around, as if afraid of being overheard.Would you mind if I spoke to you... alone for a moment?" she asked, her voice polite but still sounding very urgent.I blinked but before I could answer, she turned her apologetic smile toward Ethan."Sir, if you don't mind—?" she gestured vaguely toward the parking lot.Ethan looked between us, frowning slightly, looking at her very suspiciously as he always looked at everyone. But after a few seconds, he gave her a small shrug and muttered, "I'll be in the car," before stepping fully outside."I'm sorry," she said in a rush, "I just... I needed to catch you before you left."I shifted my bag higher on my shoulder. "It’s okay. What is it?"She glanced toward the door, as if checking to make
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 111: No turning back
As we left the hospital, I took in a deep breath, but it didn’t help.Ethan walked in front without waiting for me, his shoulders tight, his head down like he, I hurried after him.We pulled out of the hospital lot as we drove in silence, there was a lot I wanted to ask but I couldn't find the right words to say them.But then finally, I couldn’t take it anymore."So," I said carefully trying to keep my tone neutral, "What’s the plan? What exactly do you want to do now?"He stared straight ahead as his eyes were locked on the road. His knuckles were so tight on the steering wheel, they looked almost white and bloodless."What else? We will visit Rose Callahan," he said without hesitation.I studied him quietly, feeling his uneasy he was, there was more to this, so much more he wasn't willing to share."Ethan," I said slowly, "I’m not dumb. Something’s going on between you and your ex-stepmother, I am not dumb not to notice and that whole thing back there? That wasn’t nothing."His re
My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! Chapter 110: Pieces of the past
The second she said his name, it was like an electric shock shot straight through Ethan. His body tensed, his usual composed exterior cracking as his eyes locked onto the nurse with an intensity that almost startled me. His reaction wasn’t subtle in any way it was as if someone had just tossed a bucket of ice-cold water over him, and he was struggling to process it.He looked both relieved and scared at the same time, and it was understandable. I could practically feel his anxiety pressing on my chest.“You worked with Dr. Callahan?” Ethan asked, his voice desperate. The nurse blinked at him, a little startled by his intensity. “Yeah. Unfortunately,” she muttered as she didn't try to hide her bitterness. “For a long time.”“Can I—” Ethan paused, swallowing the words as though they were fighting their way out of him. “Can I ask you some questions about him?”He asked it like she was offering something precious, like every word she could give him was the missing piece to a puzzle tha
