Sinful Desires : Gravity Of Us

Ethan was lost in a deep slumber when a burst of sunlight streaming through the window hit his eyes, forcing him to groggily open them. As he squinted, he made out his mother's figure standing by the window, her expression stern. It was clear she had pulled back the curtains, flooding the room with light. Ethan let out a disgruntled groan. "Mom, seriously? Close the window. I've got a killer headache." He rubbed his temples, trying to alleviate the throbbing in his head.His mother didn't budge, her arms crossed over her chest. "Have you gone crazy, Ethan!?" She yelled. "Did you forget what today is? It's your engagement party, yet you went ahead and got yourself wasted last night. You need to get up and get ready."Ethan let out a frustrated sigh and pulled the blanket over his head. "Five more minutes, Mom. My head is banging.'' Ethan replied, but his mother wasn't having it. She strode over to the bed and yanked the blankets off him, then she grabbed the glass of water on his bedsi

As Ethan descended the stairs, Lily's face lit up with relief. "Hey," She said, slipping her hand into his. Ethan's instincts recoiled at the touch, but he forced a reassuring smile."Marcel said you got nervous and left. Are you feeling better now?'' She asked, concern etched in her voice."I'm fine now." Ethan replied. His gaze wandered, scanning the crowd for a familiar figure. He spotted Alex laughing with a group of ladies and a plan began to take shape. Ethan's eyes locked onto Alex, a calculating glint sparkling in their depths. He squeezed Lily's hand, feigning affection. "Wanna dance?"Lily was stunned by his question, but it made her happy; although she knows that their marriage is mainly because of their family businesses, and Ethan doesn't truly love her, but she loves him so much and is willing to wait for him to fully accept her; she'll do everything to make sure he accepts her. "Sure." She replied with a smile, trying to hide her excitement a bit.Ethan held her hand an

The bass thumped through the club like a heartbeat, reverberating in Ethan's chest as he leaned back against the sleek leather booth. Marcel sat beside him, nursing a drink, but his eyes kept flicking towards Ethan, watching.On the stage, a male and female dancer twirled around the pole, their movements fluid and hypnotic, but Ethan wasn't focused on the performance. His gaze was distant, clouded by thoughts he didn't want to entertain.Marcel noticed. Leaning closer, he raised his voice over the pounding music. "You good, man?" Ethan snapped out of his trance, offering a quick nod. "Yeah. I'm fine."Marcel didn't buy it. He studied Ethan for a moment before exhaling and waving it off. "Look, we're here to loosen up. Have fun. Try to relax."Before Ethan could respond, the female dancer peeled away from the stage, her hips rolling in perfect rhythm to the beat. She approached him, each step slow, international, as she danced in front of him, a seductive invitation.But Ethan wasn't

"What's going on, bro? Why is Alex at your office?" Marcel questioned, taking a sip from his whiskey.Thinking of Alex only made Ethan even more upset, the expression on his face darkened. "My dad asked him to be my special advisor, that's why he's there.''Marcel chuckled. "Special advisor? Do you need one tho? And why Alex?"Ethan grabbed his glass and gulped down the contents in one go. "I don't need one and I don't care. I'm going to ignore him, anyways, I don't want to talk about this anymore, let's just drink and have fun, that's why I came here."Marcel sighed, then he nods in understanding. He looked around the bar and saw a young, handsome man looking their way, but his gaze was fixed on Ethan. Marcel smirked. "Speaking of fun, I think someone is interested in you." He used his head to gesture to the man.Ethan's gaze met with the man and the man smiled at him, raising his glass halfway. Ethan smiled back. "I'll be back." He made to get up when Marcel held his hand, pulling

Morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, filling the room with a soft, golden glow. Ethan slowly opened his eyes, still feeling sleepy. As he lay there, his mind tried to piece together the events of the previous night. Things felt blurry, but one thing was clear—Alex had been with him.Turning his head, he glanced at the other side of the bed. Empty.He sat up, the blanket sliding off his shoulders, and then noticed them—a neatly folded suit, a car key resting beside it, and a note placed on top.Frowning, Ethan reached out, fingers brushing over the smooth fabric before picking up the note. He unfolded it and read Alex's message."Had to head to work early. Ordered you a new suit since yours was ruined. You can use my car—yours is still with Marcel. I already heated some food for you. It's in the dining room downstairs, so eat before it gets cold. Also, take your time and rest well. It's fine if you come in late."Ethan's eyes lingered on the writing, admiring how neat and pre
