ログインThe constant ringing of Skyler’s phone didn't just break the moment, but also forced her to go home. Noah had been extremely worried, panicking and calling non-stop after seeing the state Krov was in. He almost came searching for her, but she assured him that she was on her way already. Throughout the drive home, she wouldn't stop looking outside the window. Her cheeks were flushed with her eyes sparkling in ways they hadn't in years. She felt a sweet, warming feeling cover her like a fluffy blanket while she kept trying not to show how hard she was blushing. She glanced at his hand again and shyly looked away. Ethan was driving her home. But he wasn't just driving her home, one of his hands was on the wheel, effortlessly steering, while the other hand was holding hers. He looked so casual and calm while her inside was melting and remelting. ‘ So this is what it feels like? It feels… different.’ She said in her mind, a
He had expected everything, but this. Confrontation? Yes. Anger? Yes. Yell? Oh yes. But this…?For a second, Ethan forgot how to breathe. His eyes stared in disbelief as he simply stood there, frozen. Skyler’s arms were around his neck, her body pressing against his, and her lips... right on his.His mind went completely blank.He had imagined kissing her more than a hundred times. Replaying what her lips had felt and wanting more and more.God, how badly he wanted to kiss her. But never like this. Never thought she would be the one who would close the distance, never after looking at him with that much anger, fear, and vulnerability.He closed his eyes, but the kiss lasted only a few seconds before Skyler pulled away.Ethan opened his eyes, slowly. So did she. They both lifted their lids and stared at each other. Neither of them moved. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. His heart was po
Ethan was back in his office, signing files while glancing at some other ones piled up at the side of the desk. David had been merciless when reminding him how much work he had missed before heading out to get his lunch. He exhaled softly, feeling exhausted just by looking at the amount of work he still needed to do, when he heard his secretary shouting at someone. “ Please stop! Boss is busy! You can't storm in like this without an appointment!” His brows furrowed as he glanced towards the entrance. “ Who's that?” The door burst open, and a so furious Skyler stormed in. Ethan rose to his feet immediately. Her eyes were blazing, her hair looked so messy, she was panting and sweating as if she had run a mile to get here. “ Ma'am, please...” Ethan raised his hand immediately to cut his secretary short. “Leave.” He ordered her instead. “ Care to explain what's going on?” Skyler asked, taking a step closer while clenching her fists so hard. Ethan stepped out from behind h
Their eyes stayed locked for more than a second. The air suddenly thickened with unsaid words and tension. Skyler’s heart was racing with goosebumps visibly all over her arms. “ You… you don't regret kissing me?” She asked, voice small, almost like a whisper.Ethan's lips parted. His gaze dropped to her lips, causing her to subconsciously tighten her lips and swallow. His gaze lifted back to her eyes, his eyes —dark yet soft, Intense but gentle— in ways that made her want to keep staring till she'd figure it out. Till she'd understand what his eyes seemed to be telling.Her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but no words came, rather, her gaze dropped to his lips. Pink. Soft. The same lips that had kissed her minutes ago, right when she was breaking, suffocating, and crying.Her breath hitched. Her fingers twitched as she swallowed. Her gaze drifted back to his eyes, and the tension intensified immedi
Sophia was boiling furiously by the time she stormed out of the office to the corridor. “ What is wrong with him?!” She nearly yelled out in frustration, breathing heavily with anger seething through her. “ After everything, after what he heard, he's still thinking of her? Give me a break with the guilty act.” She rolled her eyes. “ Hypocrite.”Corrine, who was still seated behind her desk, looked at her closely. ‘ Is this lady okay at all…?’ she wondered, not bothering to ask Sophia anything or even say anything.Sophia's fists clenched beside her. “ Keep it cool, keep it calm.” She muttered softly to herself. “ Let's just pretend like I didn't…ugh.”She grunted, not knowing how to pretend not to be enraged that he was feeling guilty towards Skyler and ignoring her. But she knew she had to remain calm. “ He wouldn't feel that way when we get back together. He's feeling like that because we fought. Exactly. I just need to settle it.” She mumbled to herself. Then dragged in a deep
The last thing she thought he would do was kiss her at that moment. She couldn't even control the tears she had been holding back. They slid down her cheeks while feeling his lips on hers. ‘ How can he kiss me after everything?’ She sobbed and pulled away. With her weak fist, she hit his chest weakly as she stepped back again. “ Don't you hear everything I've been saying?” She sobbed. “ I do.” “ Didn't you hear that I can't bear my own child?” “ I heard you, Sky.” “ That I am broken beyond repair?” “ I heard everything you said.” She sobbed harder. “ Then why? Why?” He closed the gap between them and wrapped his big arms around her tight, shielding her from the world, pulling her against something more solid and grounded as she broke down totally. “ So why?” She asked amidst sobs, clutc
