Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 24: The Rich Man
Ethan sat at his desk, pretending to read, but the words blurred together on the page. His eyes kept drifting to the window, where he had positioned himself just right—able to catch glimpses of Sienna’s apartment door through the small gap in his curtains. It had become a habit, an obsession, a dangerous addiction he couldn’t shake.Tonight, something was different.A sleek black car pulled up to the building. Not the usual rideshare or old beat-up taxis he sometimes saw dropping off visitors. This one was expensive—the kind of luxury sedan only a certain type of man drove. The doors opened with a muted click, and out stepped a man who looked like he belonged to another world.The stranger adjusted the cuffs of his tailored suit, the silver of his expensive watch catching the dim glow of the streetlights. His polished shoes tapped against the pavement with purpose as he strode toward the entrance. Everything about him oozed wealth, confidence, and the kind of privilege Ethan had never

Ethan’s heart pounded so loudly in his ears that he thought it might give him away. The dim glow of his apartment barely illuminated the small space, but he didn’t need light—his focus was solely on the sliver of the outside world he could see through the peephole. His breathing was uneven, his palms damp as he hovered, torn between reason and impulse.He shouldn’t be doing this.But he couldn’t stop.Sienna’s apartment door was slightly ajar, the soft amber glow from inside spilling into the hallway. The rich man—her guest—stood in the doorway, his back partially turned to Ethan’s line of sight. He was just as polished as before, his suit crisp, his posture exuding power and ease. He adjusted the cuff of his expensive watch, exuding the effortless charm of someone who belonged in a world Ethan could never touch.Then she appeared.Sienna leaned lazily against the doorframe, her robe tied loosely around her waist, exposing the long, smooth curve of her leg. Her dark hair was slightly

Ethan tried to convince himself that what he had seen meant nothing. That it wasn’t his business. That Sienna was just another neighbor—nothing more, nothing less. But no matter how much he willed himself to forget, the images wouldn’t leave him.Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her standing in the doorway, bathed in warm light, her robe slipping just enough to reveal the curve of her thigh. He heard the soft murmur of her voice, the teasing lilt of her laughter, the way she looked straight at his door, as if daring him to keep watching.And then the worst part—the men.Different men. Different nights.It became a cycle, an agonizing routine he couldn’t escape.At first, he told himself he wasn’t paying attention. That the sounds of footsteps outside his door were just part of the normal rhythm of apartment life. But soon, it became impossible to ignore. He started noticing the pattern—the way they came late at night, their shoes expensive, their presence confident. Some of them

Ethan stared at the ceiling, his body stiff as he lay on the mattress, the sheets tangled around his legs. The air in his apartment felt heavy, thick with an invisible weight that pressed against his chest. He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the restless storm inside his head, but the moment he did, her face surfaced.Sienna.The way she had smirked at him just before shutting her door. The way her lips had formed that silent shhh, as if inviting him to keep watching. To keep obsessing.His eyes snapped open. The faint glow of the city seeped through his blinds, casting long shadows along the walls. He reached for his phone, checking the time. 3:42 AM. For the third night in a row, he hadn’t managed to get a single hour of proper sleep.He turned onto his side, willing his brain to shut down, but his ears remained hyper-focused, waiting for the inevitable.And then—A muffled voice.A soft giggle.The telltale creak of Sienna’s door opening and closing.Ethan’s pulse drummed in hi
Last Updated : 2025-03-24Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 28: An Invitation He Can’t Refuse
Ethan barely had time to react before he heard the knock again—soft, teasing, deliberate. His heart lurched as he hesitated, staring at the door as if it had come alive.Then, her voice, smooth and sultry. “Ethan, you home?”He swallowed hard, his throat dry. He wasn’t expecting this—wasn’t ready for it. Every fiber of his being screamed at him to ignore her, to let her think he was asleep or busy. But before he could second-guess himself, his hand was already turning the knob.The door swung open, and there she was.Sienna leaned against the frame, her golden-brown hair tousled, cascading over her bare shoulders. She wore a silky black robe, loosely tied at her waist, revealing hints of bare skin beneath. The dim hallway lighting cast a soft glow on her smooth, flawless complexion. Her lips curled in that familiar, knowing smirk—the one that made his chest tighten.

Ethan sat on his bed, gripping the edge of the mattress as he stared at the wall. His mind was a mess, tangled with thoughts of Sienna. Their conversation over drinks had left him raw, confused, and completely under her spell. He had barely slept, replaying every moment—the way her fingers had brushed against his, the way she had looked at him with those teasing eyes that hinted at something just beyond his reach.He exhaled heavily and ran a hand through his already-disheveled hair. He needed to shake this off. It was just a drink. Just harmless flirting.Then why did it feel like something more?A sudden knock on his door made his heart lurch into his throat. He turned, staring at the door as if he had imagined the sound.Another knock. This time softer. More deliberate.Ethan swallowed hard before standing, his legs feeling weak as he made his way toward the do

Ethan’s breath hitched the moment Sienna slid closer to him on the couch. The dim lighting of her apartment cast warm shadows along the curves of her face, her lips curling into an amused smile as she tilted her head at him. The scent of her perfume, subtle yet intoxicating, wrapped around him like an invisible force, making it impossible to think straight.“So, tell me, Ethan,” she purred, swirling the amber liquid in her glass. “Do you always get this nervous around women, or is it just me?”He swallowed, gripping the glass in his hand tighter. The ice inside clinked softly as he forced himself to take a sip, hoping the alcohol would somehow calm his racing heart. It didn’t. If anything, it only heightened the tension, making him more aware of her body heat pressing against his side.“I—” His voice cracked, and he cleared his throat. “I’m not nervous.”Sienna chuckled, the sound l
Last Updated : 2025-03-25Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 31: A Breath Away
Ethan’s breath came shallow, his chest rising and falling unevenly as he stared into Sienna’s eyes. The space between them was so small now that he could see the delicate shimmer of her lip gloss, the way her lips curved into that ever-present smirk that both tempted and tortured him.She had been teasing him all night—every touch, every fleeting brush of her fingers against his skin had felt deliberate. The weight of it, the tension pressing against his lungs, was unbearable.He swallowed hard, his pulse hammering as his gaze dropped to her lips. Was she waiting for him to do it?Her body was angled toward him, her elbow propped on the couch as she rested her chin in her palm, watching him with that amused, almost lazy curiosity. The air between them had shifted, thickened into something heady, something electric.His hand twitched, his fingers barely brushing against her knee. A t

Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 46: Haunted by Her
Ethan tried to ignore her. Tried to erase the image of her from his mind. Tried to forget the way she had looked at him—the way her lips had curved around his name like it was some kind of forbidden pleasure. But it was impossible. Everywhere he went, she was there. Not physically—he made damn sure to avoid her. He took the long way to the stairs instead of passing by her door. He ignored the temptation to linger by the wall when he knew she was home. He even kept his headphones in at night, blasting white noise just to drown out the possibility of hearing her again. But it wasn’t enough. She was in his thoughts. In his bones. In the flickering neon lights that cast shadows against his window. In the scent of cigarette smoke that drifted faintly through the vents, making his stomach twist. And worst of all, she was in his dreams. Ethan lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his sheets twisted around his legs. His body was hot, his mind restless. Every time he closed his eyes,
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 45: Torn Between Desire and Disgust
Ethan slammed the door to his apartment behind him, his breath coming in ragged, uneven pulls. His hands were shaking, his heart pounding so hard it echoed in his skull. He felt sick. Disgusted. Betrayed. And yet— Why the hell was he still thinking about her? His body still burned from the way Sienna had looked at him. That brief second when their eyes met—before she shut the door in his face, sealing herself away with another man. A client. Ethan squeezed his eyes shut, dragging both hands through his hair. You’re a fucking idiot. Of course, she was with someone. He had always known what she did, who she was. She never pretended to be anything else. So why did it feel like she had taken a knife to his gut? He braced himself against the edge of his bed, his fingers digging into the sheets as if grounding himself. But it didn’t help. The images wouldn’t stop—the soft moans he had heard through the walls, the way her voice had melted into pleasure, the way she had said his n
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 44: Sienna Locks Eyes with Him Briefly Before Closing
Ethan felt her gaze before he saw it. A weight, invisible but suffocating, pressed into his back as he reached the stairwell landing. His steps slowed, just for a second, betraying him. Then, the softest sound. A creak. His jaw clenched as he turned his head—just slightly, just enough. And there she was. Sienna. Framed in the dim glow of her apartment hallway, leaning against the doorframe as if she had all the time in the world. Her dark waves were a tousled mess, strands slipping over her bare shoulder, framing her sharp collarbone. The oversized T-shirt she wore barely reached her thighs, hanging off one shoulder, revealing smooth, tempting skin. Ethan swallowed hard. Damn her. She had just been with another man. He had seen it, heard it. His pulse had throbbed with every broken sound she made, every soft moan slipping through those walls, and still— Still. She stood there now, like a ghost haunting him, like she knew exactly what she was doing to him. His knuckles tig
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 43: He Watches in Disbelief, His Heart Breaking
Ethan stood frozen.His hand still gripped the doorknob of his apartment, knuckles white, but he didn’t move. He couldn’t.The sounds filtering through the thin walls were too much—too vivid, too real.Soft moans. Breathless laughter. The rustle of fabric against skin. The unmistakable creak of the mattress.Sienna.She was in there, just beyond that wall, tangled with someone else. And she wasn’t stopping. She wasn’t hesitating.She was letting him hear.Ethan squeezed his eyes shut, his pulse hammering in his throat. He told himself to turn away, to walk into his bedroom and drown it out, to bury himself under blankets or blast music loud enough to erase the sounds seeping into his bones.But he didn’t.Instead, he turned. Slowly, painfully, as if dragged by some unseen force, he stepped toward her door. The light still poured from the small gap where it hadn’t closed all the way. An invitation. A temptation.Don’t do this.But his feet carried him forward anyway.Ethan’s fingers br
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 42: His World Shatters—Sienna is with a Client
Ethan had always thought of himself as a rational man. Someone who didn’t let emotions cloud his judgment. He prided himself on self-control, on the ability to stay detached when necessary.But as he stood there, frozen outside Sienna’s apartment, his knuckles tightening, he realized—he had never been more wrong.The door was slightly ajar. A sliver of golden light spilled into the dim hallway, casting a thin line across the floor. He should have turned around. He should have walked back to his apartment and slammed the door shut behind him, erasing whatever he was about to see from his mind before it destroyed him.But his feet wouldn’t move.Instead, they carried him forward, one step at a time, until he was close enough to see inside.At first, it was just a flicker of movement. The curve of her bare shoulder, the way her dark hair cascaded down her back, loose and wild. The silk strap of her dress slid from her arm, hanging precariously, as if it could slip off at any moment.And
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 41: The Temptation Beyond the Door
A few days later, Ethan saw Sienna's door open again, he should have known what happened since he had seen it, but curiosity enveloped Ethan who seemed to never be satisfied when it came to Sienna.Ethan stood frozen in the dimly lit hallway, his pulse thundering in his ears. The door—Sienna’s door—was ajar, just enough to betray a sliver of light, a soft golden glow spilling into the darkness. It was an invitation. Or a trap.He should walk away.He should turn around, go back to his room, and pretend he hadn’t noticed.But he couldn’t.The air between them had been charged for weeks, an unbearable tension that neither of them acknowledged, yet both of them indulged. The lingering glances, the teasing smiles, the way she said his name like a whispered secret. And now, this. A door left open—deliberately.His fingers trembled as he pressed them lightly against the wood, nudging it just enough to widen the space. His breath caught as he peeked inside.Sienna was seated at the edge of h
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 40: The Slightly Open Door
Ethan knew he should stop. He knew he should turn away, shut his door, and drown himself in the distractions of his books, his sketches—anything but this. But he didn’t. It started with a sound—low murmurs, a breathy laugh—drifting through the paper-thin walls. He recognized her voice instantly, but it was different tonight. It wasn’t the teasing, confident tone she usually used with him. It was softer, sultrier. His heart pounded as he stood frozen by his door, staring at the thin line of golden light spilling from Sienna’s slightly open doorway. He shouldn’t look. Don’t look, Ethan. But something about the way the door wasn’t completely shut, the way the soft sounds of movement filtered through, made it impossible for him to move away. He took a step closer. His pulse hammered in his ears as he peered through the narrow gap. Th
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 39: Unreadable Stares
Ethan tried to go about his day as if nothing had happened, but Sienna's words lingered like an echo in his mind. Emotions make people weak, Ethan. You should learn that before it gets you hurt. It was ridiculous, wasn’t it? That one moment of vulnerability, one night of muffled sobs behind thin walls, could shake him so much? But it did. It bothered him that she had dismissed it so easily, as if her pain was nothing more than a passing inconvenience. By the time evening rolled around, he had exhausted himself with overthinking. His laptop lay open on the desk, untouched for hours, a blank document staring back at him. He had barely eaten. He had barely done anything. His thoughts kept circling back to her. Finally, he gave up. He needed a break. Maybe some fresh air. Maybe he just needed to see her, even if it was from a distance. Stepping out of his ap
Whispers Through the Wall Chapter 38: Brushed Aside
Ethan barely slept that night. The sound of Sienna crying had unsettled him in a way he couldn’t quite shake. It had been soft at first—muffled, broken sobs barely slipping through the thin walls. But then they’d become harsher, raw, as if something deep inside her had shattered. He had sat up in bed, staring at the wall that separated them, his chest aching.He wanted to knock on her door. To do something. But what right did he have? She had brushed off his confession like it was nothing. She had told him to go home, and yet here he was, unable to think of anything else but her pain.By morning, he was exhausted but determined. He couldn’t just pretend he hadn’t heard anything. As soon as he heard movement from her apartment, he was out the door.Sienna was locking her door when he stepped into the hallway. She was dressed as immaculately as ever—tight jeans, a cropped black top, her hair pulled into
