The question hung in the air, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. I felt my breath caught up in my throat as I processed his words.

“I….” I struggled for words

“You don't have to answer, if you're not ready” Ethan cut in looking disappointed

“I love you Ethan. I've fallen for you in ways I didn't expect.”

A smile broke across Ethan's face “I love you too, Avery. You're my perfect obsession”

In that moment, everything else faded away_ the noise of the city and the drama of the gala. All that matters was the connection we shared and the love that blossomed between us.

Ethan stepped forward, cupping my round face in his hands as he leaned in for a kiss filled with warmth and passion. He poured all his feelings into that single moment.

“my wife is now in love with me” he shouted happily and we both laughed at his childish behavior

He kissed me and I melted as I reciprocated the kiss. The most passionate kiss we’ve ever had. I was left gasping for breath when we bro

  • The Billionaire's contract    Chapter 70. Separation

    “Ethan, my love… Thank you for showing me what it means to truly love someone. I love you so much. So much that I'd love to keep showing you how much you mean to me.However, the thought of you being stripped off as the CEO of the company you worked so hard to build, doesn't sit right with me and it tears me apart. I believe that sometimes separation is necessary to protect what we hold dear. If stepping back is what it takes to ensure you reclaim your position, then I need to accept that. I love you deeply, Ethan. But I can't ignore the feeling that my presence in your life might end up complicating things”I felt. A lump in my throat as I placed the paper on the bedside table, tears trickled down my cheeks as I picked up my luggages to the already waiting vehicle. Aside from the domestic staff, I was the only one at home. I could guess, Ethan, Catherine and Lucas had all gone out to look for me.“Dad, I'm on my way” I said, as I took in the view of the mansion one last time. This

    “Rumors are swirling around, Mr Blackwood. Are they truth to them?”The question hung in the air for a while as all eyes fell on my lovely Ethan. I looked like a shadow of myself. The once bright and cheerful Avery was nowhere to be found. Ethan looked up and slowly nodded in the affirmation. The acknowledgement landed like a verdict and my breath snagged in my throat. I felt broken inside. But then, it's no one's fault.“We need clarity now,” Mr Pinkett pressed on.“Ethan cannot head Eclipse Enterprise with the scandal hanging all over him. Step down or start a succession plan”“I understand your concerns,” Ethan started defensively.“But this is my personal life and it has nothing to do with the growth of the company. I have headed this company while going through one of the most difficult personal experiences and I don't think this would be an exception” Ethan said, choosing his words perfectly.Another voice cut in:“The viral content was reckless. You should have known better”

    The next morning, my phone erupted with a chorus of missed calls, urgent messages and dozens of notifications.“Are you up yet?” Racheal's voice blasted through the speaker with urgency.“You need to get online now!”“Racheal what_”I trailed off.“Avery, just get online,” Racheal insisted.Reluctantly, I slid my finger across the screen and opened the social feeds. My breath hitched in my throat as I saw what was trending.“Content of the popular Billionaire's marriage”“Ethan Blackwood's contract marriage to avery pierce”I tapped on the document and it looked legitimate enough, like a marriage document or a contract laid bare for everyone to inspect.I immediately reached out to shake Ethan awake.“What's wrong?” he mumbled with a thick voice.“Wake up! You need to see this” I said as I pointed the screen to his face.Ethan's eyes widened as he read through it.“This is not our original marriage certificate right” I said to Ethan, looking out for a positive response but I got none.

    “I hereby pronounce the two of you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride”The crowd cheered as the couple kissed. They leaned towards each other and the crowd erupted. Ethan pulled me closer as we witnessed the emotional moment.The bouquet toss began and with a gleam of mischief, Ma Jane twirled, then called out“Here it comes” the bouquet circled through the air, then landed softly in my hands.I froze, surprised, realizing I was not the intended person for a moment like this. I was married and do not intend getting married again.But it still felt magical having to hold a bouquet in my hand.*You know, we never really had a celebration in our wedding” I said as I snuggled up to Ethan.“No big gathering, no real toast to us as couple” “Yeah” he answered.“I had to rush things. I was afraid he might come back for you” he said, in a mischievous tone.“Well.. the fear didn't vanish with the wedding” I teased.“I want us to celebrate our wedding. I want a real celebration”“Ok

    Dads wedding with Ma Jane arrived sooner than expected. I and Catherine were in the dressing room making sure she looked perfect.“You know I've always loved weddings” Catherine began, interrupting the silence in the room. “It's just too bad I never got to attend Avery and Ethan's wedding”“Mom, come on.. it was a very private wedding” I blurted out“I know my son is buoyant enough to organize a world class wedding. I wonder why you both choose a private courthouse wedding”I smiled, thinking back at the circumstances surrounding our wedding at that time.“There's just something intriguing about two people saying yes to each other” she said, with a bright smile.“And you know what?” She continued."In my own time, I basically looked forward to my wedding night.”“Wow!” Ma Jane exclaimed in discomfort.“Yes dear. Ethan's father and I kept ourselves till our wedding night. We were both so young” she paused, letting the memory settle in the air.“It was just so memorable. You'd soon g

    Ethan paused, processing her words“I get what you're saying, but what if he is the one we saw earlier today”Catherine shook her head dismissing the idea with a wave of her hand.“No, I refuse to believe that. Jenkins has always been straight forward with me. He took the job because he wanted it and he's never hinted at wanting anything more. It just doesn't add up”I watched the exchange, feeling the tension between them. Ethan considered her words“You make a valid point mom” he finally said“But if there's a chance he is involved in something more complicated shouldn't we investigate?” “Ethan, Jenkins took good care of you. Don't he ungrateful’’ Catherine scolded“You know sometimes, people are exactly who they place themselves to be. Jenkins has always been a loyal friend and employee. I don't think we should jump into conclusion based on passing resemblance or a hunch”Ethan sighed in relief.“You're right mom. Maybe it was just a striking resemblance” “Exactly bro, Jenkins c
