EMILY’S POV.  Ethan and I shared a quiet but lovely breakfast. No grand decoration, heavy emotions, just two people eating panwanteds and sipping coffee while grinning at each other occasionally. It felt like a glimpse of the kind of life I want, the life we could have if everything was different. He talked a bit about work and I just listened, nodding. I didn't say ,much.  I was wrapping my h were rt aonesnd everythime ng he said earlier. The promises he made, the warnings about Camille and the look in his eyes,  the one that made realize his seriousness and sincerity. After breakfast, he leaned over and kissed my lips. Then whispered, "I'll try and be early," And I smiled, nothat was "Please be safe," After he left, the apartment became silent. I stood at the doocasual outfitsthe door that's shut. I stood st

EMILY’S POV Three days passed like a movie I worked day and night to complete my final design. There were moments I thought I wouldn’t make it, moments I doubted myself, wanted to give up and even cried in frustration. But I didn’t stop. I pushed through the fatigue and poured every ounce of creativity and emotion I had into that dress. It became more than just a project. It became personal. And when I finally finished it, I knew I had done something special. I took it to Vera’s label, my heart racing as I handed it over for storage and review. Brand lead, Liana looked at it with calm appreciation, nodding and giving a small smile. "Good work," she said simply. Those two words meant more to me than she’d ever know. That night, I returned to Ethan’s apartment with a light heart. I was tired but satisfied. I had given my best

EMILY'S POV The presentation of the designs began and all top designers were there including Liana, the brand lead and the CEO of Vera label, Vera. The hall was bright with voices chattering everywhere. My heart thumped fast as I could hear the sound of my heart thumping fast. I stood at the backstage,my hand vibrating nervously as I smoothed down the fabric of my black dress. My design was next to be presented. This moment will test my creativity after all the chaos, the sabotage and the stressful hours of creating a new design. I took a deep breath, glancing at Mara who gave me an encouraging nod.  She had been since the beginning of the storm. I cheered her on during her presentation and I was wowed by her designs which is very beautiful. "Emily, I know you can nail it," She encouraged, smiling at me. "Show them your true talent." Her words calm the n

EMILY'S POV"Ethan, what's wrong?" I asked again, my voice coming out in a whisper, tight with worry. My heart was pounding, and I could feel the fear crawling up my spine.He didn’t answer me right away. I watched as he pressed his phone closer to his ear, his eyes fixed on the wall as he spoke in a low, serious tone. "Alright. Book the flight, morning flight," he said firmly before ending the call with a tap.The silence that followed was heavy. He placed the phone back on the nightstand and turned to me, his face unreadable. Without saying a word, he leaned forward and kissed the top of my breasts softly, his lips warm against my skin."I'll be traveling tomorrow morning," he murmured against me, his voice deep and quiet. "It’s an emergency meeting… I have to leave the country, and it might take a few days before I can return."The happiness that had been blooming in me just moments ago died instantly. It felt like someone had poured cold water over my heart."Ethan…" I breathed hi

EMILY'S POV"Olivia, are you crazy? Why are we even considering attending that birthday party?" I asked, my voice firm as I crossed my arms over my chest, clearly disagreeing with every word that just left her mouth.Olivia, as usual, looked unbothered. She sat back in her chair, a playful smirk pulling at her lips. "We’re going there for fun, Emily. You’re not busy today, and I’m sure you’re already bored out of your mind staying cooped up in this house. So why don’t we go, dress up, and kill some of that boredom? It’s harmless."My lips twitched. I narrowed my eyes at her. I knew Olivia too well to fall for that casual tone. She was up to something, something she wasn’t ready to say out loud yet."Olivia," I said, my voice slow and deliberate, "what exactly are you planning? What’s going on in that head of yours? We both know we’re not going there just to have fun or to kill boredom. If I know you and I do ...... there’s a real reason behind this sudden interest in the party. In fac
