Semua Bab FALLING FOR FOREVER : Bab 91 - Bab 100

Chapter 92: An Unexpected TurnThe day began with an air of calm, a rare occurrence in Ethan and Olivia’s whirlwind of a life. They had just finished breakfast, a far less chaotic affair than the day before, when Ethan suggested they take a walk along the nearby lake.“It’s peaceful there,” Ethan said, slipping his hand into Olivia’s as they stepped outside.The cool breeze tousled Olivia’s hair, and she smiled, savoring the tranquility of the moment. It was a sharp contrast to their usual banter and escapades.As they strolled along the lakeside trail, Ethan’s fingers brushed against hers. He stopped abruptly, turning her to face him.“Olivia,” he said, his tone unusually serious.“What’s wrong?” she asked, her brow furrowing.“Nothing,” he said quickly, his lips twitching into a smile. “I just realized something.”Her heart skipped a beat. “What?”“That I could do this forever,” he said, his voice soft but steady.Olivia blinked, momentarily stunned by the vulnerability in his words

Chapter 94: A Rival’s ReturnThe tranquility Ethan Cole and Olivia Hart had built over the past few weeks was about to be tested as a ghost from Ethan’s past resurfaced.Ethan sat in his office at Cole Enterprises, his sharp gaze fixed on the financial reports Jake had handed him. Just as he was about to speak, Jake’s phone buzzed. His assistant’s face paled as he read the message.“Sir,” Jake began cautiously, “Nicholas Gray is back in town.”Ethan’s jaw tightened, his entire demeanor shifting. Nicholas Gray—the man who had once been his closest friend but turned into his fiercest business rival—was a name Ethan hadn’t heard in years. Their fallout had been legendary in the corporate world.“What does he want?” Ethan’s voice was calm, but the undertone was unmistakably lethal.Jake hesitated. “He’s set up a meeting with the board of Jackson Industries. Rumor has it he’s planning to outbid us for the new development project downtown.”Ethan leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepl

Chapter 96: The Turning PointThe days had become a blur of meetings, strategy sessions, and endless phone calls. Ethan was relentless. The fight against Nicholas Gray’s empire had escalated into an all-out war. Every move was calculated, every detail scrutinized. Yet, amidst the chaos, there was a singular focus in Ethan’s mind: Olivia.Since that night in the penthouse, the two of them had found a quiet rhythm. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something real. Ethan had let down his guard, even if only slightly, allowing her to become the anchor in the storm of his life. Their connection grew deeper, their bond stronger, but Ethan was careful, he didn’t want to need her. Not like this.The problem was, he already did.Olivia’s presence had become the light in his otherwise shadowed world. She had proven herself again and again, bringing not only her intelligence and charm into their business dealings but also an emotional understanding that no one else had. And it wasn’t just in the off

Chapter 98: The ReckoningThe days following their victory against Nicholas Gray were a whirlwind. Everything that Ethan and Olivia had worked for was finally coming to fruition, but as they both knew, there was no such thing as a clean victory. The repercussions were still unfolding, and the aftermath had both of them on edge.Ethan sat in his penthouse office, the city lights stretching out before him like an endless sea of possibilities. But despite the view, his mind was far from calm. Olivia had done her part, exposing Gray’s criminal empire, dismantling his operations, and ensuring his arrest, but Ethan knew that Gray was far from beaten. The fight was only just beginning.His phone buzzed on the desk, and he picked it up with a sigh. It was a message from Olivia. "I need to talk to you. Can you meet me at the usual place?"Ethan’s heart skipped a beat. Olivia had been distant lately, more so than usual. There was something in the way she wrote that message, something that told

Chapter 100: The Calm Before the StormThe early morning sunlight streamed through the curtains of Ethan and Olivia’s apartment, casting a warm, golden glow on the neatly arranged furniture. Olivia stretched lazily in bed, her limbs tangled with Ethan’s. His arm was draped possessively around her waist, his steady breaths brushing against her neck.For the first time in what felt like forever, she felt peace. The kind of peace that came from knowing she was exactly where she was meant to be.She turned to look at him, his features relaxed in sleep. His usual sharp, commanding presence softened into something boyish and serene. Olivia traced her fingers lightly over his jawline, marveling at how this man, who had once been a storm in her life, had become her anchor.As if sensing her gaze, Ethan’s eyes fluttered open. A lazy grin spread across his face. “Staring at me again, huh?” His voice was deep, raspy with sleep, and laced with amusement.Olivia rolled her eyes, but her cheeks flu
