ETHAN’S POV

I hadn’t gone to work yesterday. Not that I could have; I’d barely gotten a full night’s sleep after Connor and I had tangled through his entire date debrief. But this morning… today was different.

Connor, meanwhile, was leaving for Texas. Finally. God, I hated it already. Even though I teased him constantly, even though I rolled my eyes at his over-the-top behavior, I realized—I genuinely missed him.

I drove him to the airport, the early morning sun spilling over the tarmac. Connor had a backpack slung over his shoulder, his hair mussed from sleeping in, and that grin that made me want to strangle him and hug him at the same time.

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

I've been trying to reach you for God knows how long now.” Cheryl blurted out, her voice filled with panic and something else I couldn't describe.“Yes Cheryl, I have been away for a while. 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.

    Ethan's pov“I need you to breathe honey, can you breathe for me?.”My mum echoed as she rubbed small circles on my back, just like she did when I was a lot younger. But nothing was working, my thoughts were swarming left and right, a war between my brain and my heart.“I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here. I didn't know you would react like this.” Her voice still rang in my head, the calm texture doing nothing to soothe fire burning in my bones.“I want to go home.” I rubbed small circles on my forehead where the migraine had Intensified as my mum started the ignition.I was healing.I was fine.But seeing him again, made the walls I had built around myself feel like mush.
