My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother! chapter Fifty-three: The out of ordinary date
Ethan didn’t do ordinary things, he always took things two steps forward shocking everyone, and now I was beyond shocked.He had rented a freaking private rooftop for the dinner, it wasn't enough that he paid a huge amount of money to make me his date, he had to rent a private rooftop.The city view was beautiful but it was nothing compared to the world Ethan had created for just the two of us, the rooftop was enclosed in glass and had candles making it give a real first date kind of vibe, there was white tablecloth with fine silver wear and over a hundred fresh roses arranged on the floor and table.The air smelled like jasmine and our from Ethan's own scent, everything was breathtaking and the fact that he and taken his time to plan this made it even more romantic.Maybe he did it to disarm me and I wasn't going to deny that it worked.“Is it up to your taste?” He teased me and for a moment I couldn't even speak, I gripped the hem of my dress trying to find my words but how could I

The sane part of my stupid brain was telling me that I shouldn't give in to him but why was I considering it? I knew exactly what it would mean if I did.Ethan was the kind of man who thrived on control, he practically fed on submission, and if I surrendered now and begged him like he wanted, I would be handing him every ounce of power I had left.And yet my body betrayed me.Everywhere he had touched burnt me leaving me breathless, and he was during it on purpose. He had known, from the moment I walked into this place, that I wouldn’t leave the same.He looked at me as if he was certain that I would beg, he knew I was close to breaking. He could feel it.Damn him! But what if I didn’t fight? And for once I just let go, all my resistance was crumbling as I released a shaky breath."Please."It was practically inaudible, but from the way his gaze darkened I knew he had heard me, his smirk was so cocky like he knew he had won."Again." His voice was lower now with an edge to it, I swall

I took a long shower when I got home, it was just to wash off his smell and touch from my skin but no matter how much I saw the water run over me, I could still feel his touch, lips and the way he made me beg.I closed my eyes as I pressed my forehead against the cool tile, I couldn't believe I begged him, I wanted to slap myself.right across the face.I pushed the thought to the back of my head as I wore my pajamas and went straight to bed but every time I closed my eyes I was transported to our time together at the rooftop.I rolled onto my side still feeling frustrated, I was restless and unsatisfied as my mind was stuck in a loop and I couldn't forget the way he controlled me so effortlessly.Why did I like it so much?I forced myself to breathe slowly, I just needed sleep. Everything would make sense in the morning.But as I drifted off to sleep, another memory surfaced, it was a different man, and a completely different touch when I was ten.The memory was too vivid and I could

All I could see on my desk were roses, lots and lots of them. They had to be more than a hundred—no, thousands of them.I wasn't going to deny that they were beautiful. All the deep, blood-red petals were everywhere. They flooded my desk, spilled onto the floor, and climbed up my chair like a living thing. I didn't know if they were glued to my entire damn workspace.Some bouquets sat upright in expensive crystal vases, others were scattered like and instead of the usual scent of coffee and printer ink, the office smelt like sweet roses.It seemed as if immediately they saw me they stated gossiping.“Oh my God, Sophie.”“This is insane who even does something like this?”“It has to be Ethan.”Of course, they all assumed it was Ethan. Who else could it be? Who else had the power, the arrogance, to pull something this dramatic?Everybody was screaming excitedly like this was the most romantic thing they had ever seen and even though it did look romantic I wasn't excited because I knew

From the way he was walking like a man with a purpose, I knew I was in trouble and the worst thing was that he still hadn’t put me down.His arms locked around me with an effortlessly tight grip. I could feel the tension rolling off from him, his eyes looked very focused like he was holding everything back.“Put me down,” I snapped, squirming against his hold, but he just ignored me.The elevator dinged, and in three steps, he carried me straight through the underground parking lot.I looked around, wondering what the hell we were doing here, but he wasn't saying anything and all I could do was to try and get cozy while he carried me like my prince charming from hell.I raised my brow in confusion when I saw his sleek, black jaguar, I started thrashing again as I realized what he wanted to do.“Ethan, don’t you dare—”He didn't reply to my question instead the motherfucker just unlocked the door with one hand and then put me inside as if was light as freaking air. Before I could move
Last Updated : 2025-03-18My 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

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

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
