Chapter 22 Ethan drives us through a dark tunnel which Ethan explains we were on the Hudson River and suddenly I am reminded of the fact that I’m passing the city of New York. It almost felt surreal and I had to ask Ethan to pinch me to which he laughed and pinched my cheeks.  The car stopped in front of the most expensive looking penthouse. My jaw almost dropped in amazement  when the sight of the most beautiful building stood in front of us. Ethan chuckled at my reaction but I was far too wonderstruck to care about him.  “Welcome to my humble abode!” Ethan stretched his arms out in a dramatic way and grinned widely, might I add rather looking so unworldly.  We walked up the el

Chapter 24 Ethan, and I walked through the massive, sparkling door that resembled a mansion. If I thought that Ethan's penthouse was the most amazing place I’ve ever seen, it was totally wrong because his family house is more like a castle and the walk to the staircases with Ethan on my side was nerve wrecking and I felt like a beggar that isn't deemed worthy to be his fiance. Just why would he want to marry me when he lived in a castle?  “Winter! Welcome” it was his mother who greeted me with open arms and warm embrace.  “Thank you for inviting us, Daisy,” I greeted, rather awkwardly, my gaze swimming around the marble walls and floor, that I was sure would catch my reflection.  

Chapter 26 Two weeks later,  “Hey Win. Check this out” Ethan’s voice echoed  from the living room. I washed my hands and rushed to where he just came in,dressed in his blue armani suit and hair stylishly combed,his green pool of eyes as lively as ever. He looks too good to be true.  “What is it?” I asked, blinking up at him.  “Peyton asked for you,” he said, handing me his phone. I couldn't keep my shock hidden when Peyton's voice was heard on the other side of the end. It wasn't a secret that Peyton had gotten quite close to Ethan ever since she woke up. She was grateful for saving her life and the way she talks less to me doesn't go unnoticed.  Som

Chapter 28 I racked my brains thinking of various new plots which I have to submit in a few weeks. Leen had asked for something more different than my old style and I had a hard time working on it.  New piece, new style, The pressure, the insecurities,Ethan, Peyton. Damn it! I couldn't think of a single sentence that made sense to me. I was tempted to write horror books, but was too much of a wuss to start imagining spirits and possessed characters, to make it live on my paper. Definitely not going there even if I’m tempted to do so.  I was sitting, with my legs tucked under my butt, brainstorming ideas and eating ice-cream until the taste made me nauseous. The only thing I gained is my weight which is in serious need of running, so that's what I decided to do. A run in the park could perhaps give me inspiration.  I put on my running gear and pulled my hair up in a p

Chapter 30  Three months later, I wake with the sun, with no sounds of birds chirping. Instead the sound of Ethan’s blaring alarm greeted my ears like an annoying buzzing of bees. I hit the device, halting the series of noises from deafening my ears. Ethan's heavy arms are daped around my waist, my naked body cocooned by his broad, warm body. I turned my face towards his peacefully sleeping form. I couldn't believe that someone that looked angelic and kind as Ethan is my fiance. I traced my fingers at the tip of his nose, his lips and finally down to his neck applying pressure and tickling there. I’m met with a groan. I smiled internally.  “I told you not to do that” Groaned a deep,throaty
