"Get away from him!"Jacob gasped and pulled away from me. I squinted my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Was Ethan really here?"What the hell are you doing here? DANNY!" Jacob yelled."Danny is indisposed at the moment. It's just you and me, buddy," Ethan snarled."So you found us. Now what? Breaking and entering is illegal," Jacob said."Then call the police, jackass. I wonder what they have to say about your 'very illegal' kidnapping," Ethan said.Ethan turned his eyes and looked at me. He had a weird look on his face. It was mixture of worry and anger. Why was he angry at me? I am the victim in this situation!

Ethan's POV"I'm sorry. Did you just say Aruba?" Corey spoke slowly. His eyes widened. He kind of looked like a goldfish."Yep. I told you to think of it as a vacation. This is a gorgeous Island. You'll have a good time here," I said reassuringly."FUCK GOODTIME! Take me back to New York, NOW!" Corey was almost panting."Jeez, calm down. We are only 4-5 hours from home. You're acting like I took you to the North Pole," I smirked."What about my job. What about Ally? She must be worried sick!" Corey exclaimed."I let Ally know of my plan. Don't worry, she is fine," I said."And my j

"Um...I wasn't going anywhere," I mumbled."You weren't? So you are just a peeping tom?" Charles smirked."Hey! It wasn't like I purposely came here to look through your window. I was just exploring. I saw your light was on, so I got curious," I explained."I see. So this is all a big misunderstanding," Charles said. His tone sounded condescending. What was his problem?"Yes. That's correct. Now let me go. You're making me uncomfortable," I said and pushed him off.He grabbed my shoulders again. "Hold on. I'll let you go, but first, I want to see what the big deal is," his eyes were dark."What do you..." I croaked as he suddenly sl

Ethan's POVI had to run out of town to meet my informant Harry, my only connection to New York. Anthony was still up after my tail, and I needed to keep Corey safe. I'd move out of the continent if I had to, as we were still too close."They still haven't figured out where you are, but I saw some of his men sniffing around your office. Does anyone knows about your whereabouts?" Harry scowled."No. I'm not stupid," I said distractedly."Good, let's keep it that way. Anthony doesn't like to lose. You've taken something that belonged to his son, and you betrayed his daughter. He won't rest until he finds you," Harry said grimly."Corey did not belong to Jacob, nor will he ever be. As for as his daughter is concerned, the whole thing was forced, and she must be relieved that I'm not there anymore," I said irritably. I spoke to him for few more minutes. He gave me one last warning then left.I was well aware of the risks, but I couldn't let Core

I came back to New York without looking back. I needed to be away from Ethan and all that craziness and start my life over just the way I wanted in the first place.I don't think Ethan lied to me when he said he loved me. But that doesn't mean his decisions about me were the right decisions. Everything he did was centered around what he wanted. He never once asked what I wanted."Don't do this."Ethan said as I placed my resignation letter on his desk."I need to work somewhere else. It'll be awkward to work under you after what we've been through," I. Protested."What if we go back to the beginning and stick with regular flirting?" he smirked.
