Ethan's POV: I gritted my teeth so loudly that I notice Maria flinching in fear, and everyone cowers a little, having noticed the fire in my eyes– leaving the only person whom it is actually meant for.And I am about to snatch her back in my arms, when one of the stupid medics notices the blood dripping from my hand, from where it has been scratched up by the friction of the rope.Apparently, that alone is enough for them to decide that I am in need of the medical attention that should be going to her, as they quickly rushed towards me and grabs the hand I have raised to snatch the love of my life back into my arms.“Oh my God! You need a proper bandage bro, thank God, it was just rope and I have seen the whole thing happening in front of my eyes. Or else, with the depth of the wound and judging by the flow of blood, I would have assumed that the cut is because of some sharp object and would have ended up suggesting stitches…”“I don't want any bandages, just leave me alone. I was bu

Ethan's POV:As unpleasant as Mike's voice is to my ears, his words are more jarring to my soul. With one simple statement, he has reminded me of a harsh reality which I had almost started to forget: she isn't mine to claim right now.I know this phase won't last long, because she is mine… she was mine, and she will be mine again.But right now, there aren't many things I am allowed to do– especially until I figure out one very important part of the puzzle. Even though she had to change her name from Ashley to Hazel in order to hide from me– and I totally get that, still! What was the reason for getting an idiot as her fiancé?I mean, yeah…! It's a really good way to get a boost for my ego that the man who claims to be her fiancé, also says that I am his idol. And most people in my position wouldn't even be complaining. But then again, when it comes to her, there is no ego… in fact, when it comes to her, I am willing to surrender my whole self, let alone some fragile entity known as

Ethan's POV:“Sir! It's your sixth call in the last two hours, and no, she isn't here yet. As I said before, I will definitely inform you about it. In fact, it will be the first thing I do after she arrives, but the doctor has asked you to rest. Please understand, the whole staff cares about your health and we want you back in the office, happy and healthy, really soon.”Maria finally retorts directly at me in a warm scolding tone, wrapped in the sweetness of care, while telling me that the whole office staff does care a lot for my health.I bet they do!After all, they are smart enough to know that they won't find a high paying job in this city, anywhere apart from here.And if they really cared for me and wished for my happiness, then shouldn't they know by this time, that my happiness lies in Ashley and Ashley alone?They would have seen my health as well as my mood, becoming completely perfect the moment she returned to the office. Looks like none of it is going to happen today;

Ethan's POV:“Oh! Are you sure there is no chance you can make it to the meeting? Like even ten percent?”I inquire with a hundred percent real concern in my voice, because there is no way I am going to tolerate this frog showing up at the last minute, and ruining the best time of my life.Like he hasn't wasted the last twenty days already! “I am so sorry, Mr. Johnson, if it wasn't important, I would have never said no to you. You know how you are my idol, and I would never willingly miss a chance to go to a business meeting with you. There is so much for me to learn from you… but I really can't make it tomorrow.Don't worry about Hazel though, she will definitely come. In fact, I will send her number to you, so that you two can directly coordinate with each other for tomorrow–”“Perfect!”I say, without letting him complete the epic about how much he really admires me and how he is really upset about not being able to make up for the client meeting.Everything that I could ever hav

Ethan's POV:I knew this question was going to come to the surface the moment she felt like it had been more than ten minutes since our arrival, and the clients weren't there yet.But I wasn't aware that she would end up asking that question right away. It was a good thing that I have already prepared for this question. Otherwise, this girl single handedly holds the entire power to catch me off guard, just like she has done right now… and just like she used to do in the past. But not today… she ain't going to mess this plan of mine, till she herself accepts that she herself is Ashley and she still loves me. “Ohh! The clients! Miss Hazel! Please be seated first so that I can tell you everything in details–”“I am not in the mood for any pranks, Mr. Johnson! You might have enough time to play around, but I don't. I have a family to look after, and I am not going to neglect them because of your foolish and stupid ideas of pranks. So just tell me the truth without any unnecessary embel
