Ethan

Dawn moved fast. Her heels clanking against the marble, her face twisted like Kate's words were some kind of abomination.

"Why?" she snapped. "Mom, why?"

Her voice cracked on the last word. For a second, it almost sounded like pain.

"You want me to marry someone who's still obsessed with Liora?" She threw a bitter laugh over her shoulder.

"Wow. Matchmaking now? That's your new hobby?"

Kate didn't flinch. She never did. She turned to me instead, brushing off Dawn's rant.

"Think about it, Ethan," she said smoothly, like she was pitching a business deal. "It's a win for everyone."

She turned to Dawn, then to me, eyes glittering like a cat sizing up her prey.

"You get Liora back. Dawn gets..." She paused, that sly smile curling on her lips. "Never mind. And I get peace of mind."

I stared at her.

"You're sick," i muttered, voice barely above a whisper. But it was enough.

Kate stepped closer, her silk robe whispering as she moved. Her faint but familiar perfume stirred something ugl

    I stood impatiently by the counter as I waited for the nurse to give me a reply. I've been here since God knows when. All I wanted was to see my father. I wanted to know how he was faring.My heels clinked on the marble floor matching my racing heart. I couldn't tell if it was because of my impatience or because of the way Damien spoke to me yesterday night.I could have sworn I saw his face changed into that of the devil. “Don't ever touch that door kitten”. He simply said. But it felt heart wrenching.I thought I was his baby girl who could literally get anything I need. But at that moment, even my big oval eyes couldn't pierce through those dark eyes of his.He simply left like the cold man he was, and this morning the punk couldn't say anything to me. “Asshole”. I said aloud forgetting that I was in public.“I am sorry, what did you just say to me?”The nurse's voice cut through my thoughts. I looked at her face, it had a frown evidenced by the crease on her forehead.“Oh my!” She

    EthanI slammed the door hard against the wall as i barged into the living room.My breath heavy and uneven, fists clenched like I was gripping the last thread of my sanity."Where the hell is she?" I roared,my voice raw, face red with the sting of betrayal."Where the fuck is Liora?!"Dawn didn't flinch. She was lounging on a velvet chaise. Her long legs were crossed, a glass of red wine lazily dangling between her fingers, she had the kind of expression that only infuriated me the more"Sit your ass down, Ethan," she muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes. "You're going to wake the whole damn estate with your dramatic entrance."I turned to her like a wild dog ready to bite. "i heared she got married to some piece of shit I heard.some... Some bastard while I was locked up. I stuttered as the painof abandonment settled.Dawn only looked at me like I was exaggerating. Well maybe I was but I couldn't believe this happened to me. Normally I was the one who serves the girls a full

    Liora“Did Liora tell you about her past?” Kate interrupted us, her voice dripped with poison.“ I mean if we are going to be a family, shouldn’t we be looking out for each other?”Her eyes met mine for a moment. She saw the fire rising in me, as I never wanted to be reminded of that night.Her lips moved up, now she had a genuine evil smile, Not the fake smile she wore earlier, but the face I remembered from my past life. The same cold expression she wore when she drove a machete into my head without flinching, no pity. Just pure calculated cruelty.Damien didn’t even spare her glance, he acted like no one was speaking. Just like every moment since we arrived.Then, as if to shatter whatever pride they had left, he moved towards me slowly, deliberate and unbothered. His strong yet careful hands slipped around me and lifted me effortlessly like I was weightless, like I was something precious.God, he smelled like danger wrapped in warm clean masculine, intoxicating temptation. I melted

    Liora“Mr. Grayson,” Kate began, masking the shock with polite concern.“May I know the reason why you gave her that ring?” Her voice was low and slow. She blinked twice, slowly, giving the words time to rearrange themselves into something more believable.“Shall I answer that for you, dear Kate?” I interjected with a smirk tugging at my lips. I really wished I had brought a camera so I could capture their faces and make a portrait of their fucking doom.“I am married to Mr. Grayson. We got married yesterday, and we are so in love.” I said it confidently, my eyes trailing to Damien, who had this proud daddy look.Why did he look so fucking hot? The man was a fucking Greek god; I could imagine my hands on that strong, bold chest of his. Stop it, Liora. My eyes widened as I came back to my senses. I shouldn't be thinking of such nasty things.“Married? Who does that?” I heard Dawn chuckle anxiously before her gaze fell on me, like I was the stupidest person she had ever met.“I do such.”

    Damien“Did you just… ask me to marry you?” My lips curved into a stunned smile, but there was no humor in it.Because that wasn't what she was saying five days ago when I asked her to marry me instead of Ethan. However, she only looked at me like I was some poison. She said she’d jump off a cliff if I ever came near her again.At first, I vowed to never stop chasing after her because she stirred up something in me. But if she was willing to kill herself because of her hatred for me, I knew I needed to stop.The loathing I saw in her eyes that day broke my heart into the tiniest pieces. I was stupid to have thought that someone could love me after the ungodly things I had done since I had been born into the Greyson family.I wanted to laugh or scream at her to scram. But instead, I asked, “Are you drunk, kitten?” The nickname slipped out instinctively.She didn’t flinch. She stared at me with those blue eyes that I had imagined would one day give me pleasure while on her knees.She
