The Ruthless CEO's Obsession 79
EpilogueSOPHIE I’m wearing a strapless pink sundress, and a new pair of Jimmy Choo pink stilettos that Ethan bought me. When I come out of the bedroom, his face lights up.I point at him. “You’re drooling again.”Tyra smirks at Ethan. “She’s right. Lots of drool.”He pretends to wipe his face then kisses me. “Ready?”“Yes.” I wave to Tyra. “Have a good night.”She waves back. “You, too. Have fun.”Ethan leads me out of the skyline suite, into the elevator, and through the lobby. When we get outside, his chauffeur Lou is waiting.Once we’re in the car, Ethan pulls me on his lap. “Well?”“What?”He licks his lips. “Panties or no panties?”I lean into his ear. “It’s too early in the night to tell you that. But I’m not wearing a bra.”He groans and kisses my shoulder then teases the curve of my neck with his tongue, sending shivers down my spine.My lips find him, and everything is right in the world as he pulls me in, showing me for the millionth time that he’s mine and all he desires.

SOPHIE A few months later, Tyra is staying with Ethan and me. We hired a nurse to take care of her when she got out of the hospital, but she’s almost ready to get a walking boot and told us she’s going back to Seattle to work once it’s on.Eric Tremblor has made good on his word. News of the diabetes co-op has gone viral online, and millions of people have become members. The price of insulin is already dropping, and it’s only a matter of time before the markup in the overall market collapses.Harrison Calloway has made several site visits to the Boston office. During the first one, Ethan filled him in on his plan with Eric Tremblor. Harrison Calloway is happy Ethan and I are out of the way of danger.We have been sharing an office. I could have taken an empty one, but we like working side by side. We are pursuing several companies, and it’s been a fun transition from director to VP.While Ethan is visiting with Xander, Harrison Calloway comes into our office.“Sophie, you seem to

ETHAN My chest gets tighter. The doctor says, “I need everyone to clear the room so I can examine Xander.”“I’ll be right back.” I pat Xander’s back. He gives me a painful look as more tears stream down his cheeks. When I step out into the hallway, I am weeping again. My chest feels so heavy that I can barely get air into my lungs.Jamison and Chase are both holding back their tears. I head straight for the exit.The bright hospital lights blur together. Panic takes over my mind completely. Outside, I pull in a deep breath and walk toward the bench where Sophie Matthew and I sat a few days ago.I sit with my head resting between my knees, trying to catch my breath. Then, I feel Sophie’s hand on my back. I sit up, and she pulls me close. I do not mean to break down, but I cry uncontrollably in her arms.“Shh.” She comforts me and kisses the top of my head.I thought I had already processed all of this grief. I thought I had moved past the pain. But Nathan’s death and seeing Xander r

ETHAN Xander is sitting up in bed when Jamison and I enter. He has a bandage over his head, but a big grin forms on his face when he sees us.“It’s about time you woke up,” I tease him.He laughs. “I guess I needed a break from all those hours we’re putting in.”“You have worked hard,” Jamison agrees.“Max is probably ready to cut me, huh?” Xander asks.Max? Jamison and I glance at each other. Max is our old boss from when we were all paramedics together in our early twenties.“Funny,” Jamison says.“Don’t tell me a car accident suddenly gave him a heart?” Xander continues.Jamison and I exchange looks again. “He’s still heartless,” Jamison tells him.“No surprise there. So is my Tahoe destroyed, or can it be fixed?” Xander’s face scrunches slightly.His Tahoe? He hasn’t had that since we were in our twenties, either.I step closer to him. “You’re going to need a new vehicle. It’s destroyed.”“Fuck.”I step closer to him.“So, where’s Billie?”Billie? His old girlfriend?Jamison’s fa

ETHAN When I get back to the waiting room, Sophie and Jamison are gone.“Where are Sophie and Jamison?”Maya shifts uncomfortably and looks at Chase. Vanessa stares at the floor.My gut flips. “What’s going on?”Chase’s expression tells me I’m not going to like what I’m about to hear.“What?” I ask him, almost angry already.He clears his throat. “I might have questioned her about your involvement with Kramer.”My heart beats faster, and I scowl at him. “You did what?”“I’m only worried about you and her safety,” Chase defends himself.I take a deep breath. I know Chase doesn’t mean any harm, and he’s worried, but he shouldn’t be speaking Kramer’s name. “I’m only going to tell you this one time. There is nothing to worry about anymore. So stop worrying and don’t ever mention his name again.”Chase releases a big breath. “Okay, Ethan.”“Did you put Sophie in danger?” Maya shoots daggers at me.Oh fuck. I seriously don’t need to be dealing with this today.I run my hand through my hair

ETHAN Eric and I decide that now is as good a time as ever to meet and probably even safer than our original plan, so we find an empty patient room, shut the door, and sit down in the guest chairs.“We want to start a diabetes co-op,” I tell him.He tilts his head at me. “A diabetes co-op?”“Yes. Members pay an annual fee of one dollar. They can’t use insurance, so it avoids the political issues. To get their insulin, they need a prescription and to be a member.”Eric whistles softly.My pulse beats hard against my veins as I wait for him to respond.“That’s an incredible idea.”I smile proudly at him. “I can’t take the credit for it. My fiancée Sophie came up with it.”“That beautiful girl with the curly hair who was sitting next to you is your fiancée?”I beam at him. “Yes.”“Brains and beauty?”“I can’t decide if I love her brains or her beauty more.”He chuckles. “You did good.”I nod. “Thank you. I happen to agree with you.”Eric sits back in his chair with his hands clasped, ta
