Wanting my best friend’s brother Chapter 65
I had been trying to understand everything as a series of separate things. The timing, the articles, the photographs, the video, the message, and the overall damage. I had been trying to find the logic in each move. But it wasn't separate, it had never been separate. It was one thing, from beginning to end, executed with the kind of patience and precision that only came from someone who had decided, quietly and completely, that they were willing to burn everything down. It wasn’t about exposing me or telling the truth. And it wasn’t even really about Ethan, not in the way I had initially assumed. This whole thing was about making sure I had nothing left and I sat with that realization for a long moment.Maya was still staring at my phone, equally stunned. The room was so quiet that I could hear the faint ticking of the clock across the room."Ethan was a victim in this too," I said quietly almost to myself.And it was the final piece settling into place. Because Chloe hadn’t just atta

"Hello, Mrs. Lawson.""Linda." Her voice was calm which somehow made me feel worse."Yes, ma’am."There was a brief silence. "I’ve seen what happened."I lowered my eyes. "Mrs. Lawson, I…""I’m not calling for an explanation."I stopped."I’m calling because I expected better from you."My throat tightened. She didn’t say anything else for a moment."But whatever happened, whatever is true and whatever isn’t… your name is attached to it now. So is your brand."I swallowed. "I’m sorry ma’am…""Don’t apologize to me yet…"My eyes dropped to the coffee sitting untouched on the table."Your exhibition has been affected and I’m sure people who have worked with you for months are suddenly questioning your integrity. And I’m not here to condemn you but you have to do something about this…" She paused. "I don’t want to be attached to this.""I understand.""Good."There was another pause."Fix it, Linda."My eyes burned as I heard those words."I will."The call ended before I could speak fur

I frowned. "We signed the agreement months ago.""I know.""And we’re sincerely sorry."The call ended before I could ask another question. I stared at my phone in disbelief because that didn’t make any sense. I got an email notification from them and opened it immediately to see if they would further explain why but there was no specific reason. I was still reading the mail when Maya walked into my office."I just got an email," she said straddling the edge of my desk.I looked up. "So did I."She already knew what it meant. "So… they’re pulling out."I nodded."But why?" She shook her head angrily."They didn’t say..." I leaned back in my chair. "Maybe budget… Corporate restructuring… I don’t know. It could be anything."I was guessing now even though none of it felt convincing. Maya remained unusually quiet."This doesn’t make sense… I’ll see if I can find out more because there has to be more," she finally said."Please do that and let me know... Thank you."Maya left and I rubbed

The next morning, I arrived at the studio almost before everyone else. The exhibition was tomorrow. And for the first time in months, everything was finally beginning to fall into place. The dresses were finished, the fittings were complete, the venue was ready, and every member of my team knew exactly where they needed to be. Tomorrow wasn’t about creating anymore. It was about executing what I had dreamed of over the years.I unlocked my office, balancing my coffee in one hand and my laptop in the other. The moment I stepped inside, I stopped. There was another bouquet, and this time deep burgundy lilies were arranged inside a matte-black box at the center of my desk. My stomach dropped immediately and my coffee fell."No…" I said. I felt a chill down my spine and I didn’t move. For several seconds, I simply stared at them. I had received three bouquets, three different flowers all anonymous and I was so certain that someone wasn’t making a mistake anymore. They were trying to tell

By Thursday morning, the exhibition venue looked almost nothing like it had a week earlier. The lighting rigs had been installed overnight; the runway platform was finally complete, and workers moved purposefully through the hall, adjusting banners, testing sound equipment, and arranging seating. I stood near the entrance with a clipboard tucked beneath my arm while the production manager walked beside me."Can you move those floral arrangements away from the runway entrance? They’ll block the photographers."He took note."What about the press section?""They’ve confirmed placement this morning.""Perfect."We continued walking through the venue until my phone vibrated inside my blazer pocket, it was a message from Ethan.[Ethan: Good morning. Hope everything’s going well.]I smiled naturally.[Me: Morning babe. It’s busy but we’re getting there.]Almost immediately the message showed as delivered then nothing, no response. It was just there. I slipped my phone back into my pocket, e

Two days later, I was in the middle of a phone call with the exhibition lighting technician when there was a soft knock on my office door. I looked up to see Jess, our front desk coordinator, standing in the doorway. She waited patiently until I finished confirming the installation schedule."Perfect," I said into the phone. "We’ll see you tomorrow morning."I ended the call and looked at her."What is it, Jess?"She hesitated."There’s someone downstairs," she said. "I don’t have any appointments.""I know." She shifted awkwardly. "He said he knows you."Something about her expression made me pause."He has flowers."I set my pen down because my workers knew Ethan and wouldn't refer to him as someone. I couldn't help wondering who could have brought flowers again. My stomach tightened instantly, "Did he give his name?""He said Daniel ma'am."The name landed with a quiet thud. I stayed very still for a moment. Then I took a breath, smoothed my blazer, and said, "Tell him I'll be do

I almost didn't go.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone. I was already dressed in a beautiful emerald green dress that hugged my body perfectly. My makeup was flawless, my hair was styled, and I looked stunning. But inside, I felt like I was falling apart. I was having cold feet.I did

I reached for a glass of wine from a passing server and took a long sip, to give my hands something to do and to calm my nerves down."So… you came, " a voice said softly behind me.I turned slightly and saw Ethan standing next to me. My heart raced. I opened my mouth to respond, but the words woul

I left work early to come home and clear my head. I just finished dinner and was about to upload some pictures of my new collections to my fashion page.It was around 8 pm when someone knocked on my apartment door. I wasn't expecting anyone. Maya had gone home hours ago, and Anabel was busy with th

"So…For how long?" her voice finally trembled."A few weeks," Ethan answered quietly.She turned to him so fast it almost startled me."You shut up," she snapped. "You don’t get to speak first."She turned back to me, her eyes filling with hot, betrayed tears. "You sat in my apartment while I cried
