Scarlett’s POV

Ethan's low growl echoed in the stillness, grabbing everyone's attention. I spun around to face him, his deep brown eyes narrowing on me, daring to know what I was up to. In a low tone, he spoke, his voice laced with warning, “Don’t even think of hitting jasmine, Scarlett. Why are you creating a scene where there's none?”

Jasmine's smug expression vanished in an instant, replaced by something vulnerable.

Wiping the invisible tear in her eyes, she swallowed the lump that lodged in her throat, struggling to gain Ethan's sympathy.

Instead, he turned to his workers and dismissed them without uttering a single word. They cowered out of sheer fright as they left the office, leaving Ethan alone with Dylan who was trying so hard to keep his temper in check.The silence was heavy with unspoken words and the air was thick with tension. Dylan crossed his arms as he stood in front of Ethan, assessing him from head to toe with disgust like he was a dirt on his shoe.Ethan could tell that Dylan's anger still stemmed from the stress he was dealing with his employee’s mistakes and his presence obviously must have just added to his frustration.Or perhaps, he had a tough day and his recent breakup with Scarlett and her disappearance was just another thing piling on.Ethan waited for a few moments before asking once again, “Didn't you hear the news, Dylan?

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 90. Scarlett's Disappearance

    Ethan's POV~I stood still, my fingers trembling as I clutched the phone tightly. My eyes locked with jasmine's curious eyes which were filled with concern and inquiry.Her brows furrowed in concern, her gaze piercing as she waited for me to explain the look of shock and worry that had frozen on my face. My lips quivered as I fumbled for words. I was unable to come up with a response and this made her even more curious. Crossing her arms, she pouted her lips and raised an eyebrow..I noticed her eyes were now fixed on my phone and I instinctively tried to slide it backwards in an attempt to hide the screen from her prying eyes.“What is it you're hiding, Ethan? Is something wrong?” She asked, her body language screaming "spill the beans" as she waited expectantly for me to share what was bothering me.“Ethan?” She called once again, her voice louder this time.Swiftly, I succeeded in putting the phone away. My brows creased as I exhaled sharply. “It's nothing, Jasmine. Trust me. Jus

    Author's POV~The morning sun filtered through the room, illuminating the dust particles in the air. The sky was painted with hues of pink and orange and the day was perfect for an outdoor adventure. The beeping sound of the alarm pierced the silence, forcing Ethan to sit up in his bed and rub the sleep from his eyes. He narrowed his eyes, and squinted, trying to adjust to the bright light. After yawning, he swung his legs to the other side and planted a firm foot on the ground.His brows furrowed as he scanned the room frantically and that was when he realised he was alone in their vast bedroom.The bed was a mess on his side, with sheets tangled and pillows askew, a testament to a restless night's sleep. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he glanced at the other side which was smooth and untouched, the blanket pulled up neatly, a contrast to the disarray on his side. Her space was empty, an unoccupied space that was noticeable.Ethan slid his fingers into his hair and began pacing

Beads of sweat trickled down her spine, her heart rate intensifying as she gazed into the driver's piercing eyes through the rearview mirror. Her breath caught in her throat when his eyes locked with hers, a hint of mischief in them. Her blood ran cold as a mixture of fear and uncertainty washed over her.
