AARON’S POV

My phone buzzed on the table. I assumed it would be another message from Zoey asking for my approval on another overpriced napkin,but to my surprise it was Ethan.

He hadn't reached out since he left, and the text was quite simple and plain

Ethan; “Connor might leave today, so I'll be home latest tomorrow”

Which meant that, assuming everything went right, assuming nothing pulled him behind, he would probably be home tomorrow.

My hands hovered thinking of a reply, but what do you say after you made someone cry in the parking lot ?

Tomorrow, he'd be home.

The thought managed to loosen my chest, but only a little. Because the rest of it-the weight that had been glued to my ribs these past four days-remained, I tried to ignore the light up feeling I got at the sound of Ethan calling this place his home.

And he had been silent for four days.

Four days of silence, excluding the single text Ethan just sent me. Four days of replaying every moment, every threat, every mistake.

    Aaron's pov What could he possibly want in return, I rubbed the bride of my nose as I looked up to meet his awaiting gaze.“I just want to talk, you don't have to go all sobby on me like I'm demanding your soul or something.” He said matter of factly crossing his arms.“What do you want to talk about…?”“Kyle.”“Yes what do you want to talk about kyle, aren't you scared or you just go around quizzing energy inmate you see.”He rolled his eyes” First of all, Rude. Second of all, I'm not saying I want to quiz you—i just, you know what never mind. You said you wanted to use my phone?”I could hear the sound of defeat in his voice and for a moment just a brief one an image of Ethan flashed in my head, Ethan would have gladly entertained him. He would have been kind and accepting. “Well aren't going to take it?” Kyle asked a hint of frustration In his tone now.“Why are you here,like what did you get in here for?” The question practically burned my throat and the desperation to fix what

    Ethan's pov I tried calling mandy a few more times but it only went straight to voice mail, even Jonathan and Andrew weren't answering What the hell was going on ?.And the worse part was, Aaron was in jail so that meant anything could happen, and by anything I meant nothing because nothing would be fine about this whole Benson situation.I let out a deep sigh.“Ethan honey, is nobody picking up?” My mum asked from where she stood with Gil, who now had a smiling Amelia in her hands.“No, everyone is unreachable. And I don't know why, I just want to make sure that they are okay.”“I know honey, and they will be.” My mum said again, walking over to me and pulling me into a hug.I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.“Be positive. There is probably an explanation for what's happening”I nodded finding a way to ground myself She was right, there had to be some kind of explanation for what was happening.“What's going to happen now?” Gil asked, her voice filled with concer

Like this was part of some master plan to rebrand?I should have known something was wrong. I should have understood whatever hidden lines were being drawn,but I didn't catch up fast enough. And now warner industries was most likely going to experience the biggest crash in history.I needed coffee. I had practically become a caffeine addict in Aaron's absence and now that I had to face the board members I most definitely could not do without it.I cleaned my sweaty palms on my navy blue peplon dress as I tried to maintain some kind of level of calm and composure before stepping out of my office.“Madam Cheryl?”I turned abruptly,my mind already brimming with all the possible questions the caller wanted to ask. It was ruby from the marketing de

    Aaron's povWhatever pain I thought I had experienced before automatically multiplied at the sound of his voice. Regret simmered underneath my skin.I regretted meeting Benson, I regretted everything that had to do with him.“You've done what you always planned to do, so why don't you live alone?”A loud chuckle sounded back to me.“Done what I've always planned to do? Wake up warner. I'm only getting started with you.”“Benson, whatever deal we made all those years ago, whatever fucking agreement it was. It's over.” I fumed.“It's not over until I say it's over warner,let's hope your little case doesn't point back to me. Or I'd put a permanent end to you.” And the line went dead.Wait?How did he know? Fuck he was Benson. He knew everything. And was probably orchestrating a full plan right now.He knew I was here, that's why he acted in my absence. He knew there was nothing I could have done, He played his strings right. Damn it.“Is everything alright here?.” Adam asked, reaching f

    Ethan's pov “He turned himself in.”Her face molded into one of confusion before fading back to normal.“Yes, he told me he would. I just didn't expect him to actually go on with it.”She said, each word coming out more tense than the last.“I know, I was surprised to. But he did and he is no doubt going to be there for a very long time.”She started packing the toys into a plastic basket.“Well, I lost him for this long, what's a few extra years ?.”“I'm sorry.”“For what, you didn't kill somebody.” Her voice was more stern now, like she had already decided how to feel on the matter.Her sin has killed somebody, and not just anybody his own stepfather, a man she was probably inlove with at the time.“I know, but I'm just sorry. For everything, for not telling you as soon as I found him.”“Apologies won't fix anything Ethan , I'm not angry with you. But there is no point apologizing. ““I just. How does one move on from something like this.” My mum who had been silent all through, g

There is an urgent problem and I need you to get Williams on this line for me.”I stated, waiting for her to put two and two together, Cheryl was a smart woman. And the next person on my list, who is going to hate me when I tell her all the things I've done.“Williams as In the lawyer?.”“Yes, I need a lawyer right now.

You've heard?.”Heard what?“What do you mean, what's going on ?”“Oh shit.”Cheryl didn't mutter profanities something about it being unprofessional and unlady-like.
