All Chapters of Sinful Desires : Gravity Of Us : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"How was it?" Marcel asked as Ethan walked up to him."How was what?" Ethan shot back, frowning as he snatched the car keys from Marcel's hand."Your meeting with Alex." Marcel clarified. "Why would you go all the way to his company?""To return his car—since someone took mine and vanished." Ethan replied with a sharp glare.Marcel let out an exaggerated sigh, throwing his hands up. "I already said I'm sorry! That guy gives me the creeps, okay? I had to bail before things got ugly."Ethan shook his head, clearly unimpressed. "Let's just go." He muttered, moving toward the car.But Marcel wasn't done. "Seriously though, what's going on between you and Alex? Lately, he's always around you. It's like he's your shadow or something. Are you two...?"Ethan paused, the question hanging thick in the air. He swallowed hard but masked his nerves with a stern glare. "You getting in or not?" He snapped.Marcel raised an eyebrow but didn't push. He glanced up at the sky, now darkening with heavy

Ethan stepped into the office and came to an abrupt halt. His eyes landed on Alex, already seated and working at his desk. He hadn't expected to see him there today.Alex glanced up from his laptop, catching Ethan's gaze. But Ethan said nothing. Without a word, he walked to his desk and got to work, deliberately avoiding any acknowledgement of Alex's presence.Across the room, Alex hesitated. He could feel the cold edge in Ethan's silence. Something was off—Ethan was clearly upset, but Alex couldn't quite put his finger on why. Just as Ethan began to immerse himself in work, his desk phone rang, cutting through the silence. He picked it up, listened briefly, then said curtly. "It's fine. Let her in." With a sigh, he hung up and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples.Moments later, the door opened and in came Lily, his fiancee, smiling brightly."Hi!" She chirped, her voice brightening the room.Alex looked up, clearly startled. He stood immediately and walked over to her. "Li

The sounds of clicking plates and quiet conversation had faded. Only the soft sound of rain tapping on the windows could be heard. Ethan placed his napkin beside his empty plate and gave a polite smile."Thank you so much for the meal, Mr. And Mrs. Ray. I mean...Mom and Dad." Ethan said.Mr. and Mrs. Ray smiled. "It's alright, dear. We're more pleased to have you over."Ethan nodded. "I think I should get going now.""Oh no, dear—it's far too late for that." Mrs. Carol said. "And I think it's about to rain. It wouldn't be safe for you to drive tonight."Ethan opened his mouth to gently decline, but Lily spoke up quickly. "Mom's right. Just stay over. We've got more than enough room."Her father nodded, folding his hands calmly. "You'd be doing us a favor, Ethan. No need to rush back. If you're worried about your parents, I'll give them a call."Ethan hesitated, then shook his head lightly. "No need for that, Sir. I'll take care of it.""Excellent." Mrs. Carol said warmly, already risi

Ethan sat quietly at the bar, nursing his drink when Marcel finally walked in."Hey, man.'' Marcel said, tapping Ethan's shoulder before sliding onto the stool beside him. "You invited me out, which usually means something's up."The bartender approached to take Marcel's order."I'll have whatever he's having." Marcel nodded toward Ethan's glass. The bartender gave a quick nod and turned away.Ethan scoffed, taking a sip. "So now I can't invite you out without it being a crisis?"Marcel chuckled. "Come on, you know the drill. I'm usually the one dragging you out. If you're the one calling the shots, something's definitely eating at you."Ethan glanced sideways but didn't reply. Instead, he sighed and looked away."Fine." Marcel said, settling in. "Let's just enjoy the drinks. You'll talk when you're ready.''A few quiet moments passed before Ethan spoke again. "How's business?"Marcel's eyes lit up slightly. "Getting better. Sales are climbing... slowly but surely. The brand's still g

Ethan paced restlessly across the office, his thoughts simmering as he glanced toward the clock. He said he'd be back soon. It was already 8 pm.He raked his hand through his hair. "Why am I even waiting? I'm still mad at him."He scoffed aloud. "He's probably out there enjoying himself with that woman... while I'm here waiting like an idiot."He moved toward the door, ready to leave, when he heard familiar footsteps echoing down the hallway. Instinctively, he rushed back to his desk and flipped open his laptop, typing nonsense as the screen lit up.Alex walked in, hesitating for a brief second when he saw Ethan still there. A small, cautious smile tugged at his lips.He strode to Ethan's desk and gently set down a brown paper bag.Ethan looked up, one brow raised. "What's this?""I brought you food." Alex said quietly.Ethan's tone turned cold. "I didn't ask for it. I don't want it."Alex exhaled slowly, his voice tentative. "Listen... I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean the thi
