All Chapters of The Sin Between US : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

After everything that happened at the vacation, I knew one thing for sure, I needed to get my life together. For the past few weeks, my emotions had been a mess, tangled between what is right and what felt right in the moment. Ethan had been patient, my friends supportive, but deep down, I knew the only person who could truly fix things was me. I needed to focus on myself. My growth. My career. My future. So, that’s what I did. I distanced myself from distractions, throwing myself into work out and productivity. Mornings became a routine of waking up early, work out, and spending quiet time alone. My phone remained on silent more often than not, and I ignored anything that didn’t serve my peace. It wasn’t easy.Every now and then, memories from the vacation would creep in. Lucas’s voice, his hands, the way my heart had betrayed me in his presence. Then there was Ethan, who had always been kind, patient, everything I should want. But even with him, I felt like I was on autopilot, just

Ethan’s arm wrapped securely around my waist as he guided me toward his car. The cold night air did little to sober me up, instead, it made me shiver, pressing closer against him. My head was light, my body buzzing with warmth..... part alcohol, part the comfort of being with him.“I think I had too much to drink,” I mumbled, resting my head against his shoulder as he opened the car door.“No kidding,” Ethan chuckled, helping me inside. “You were practically singing in the restaurant when I walked in.”I swatted at him weakly, but he only laughed, shutting the door and walking around to the driver’s side. The drive was quiet, save for the soft hum of the radio. My eyelids felt heavy, but I forced myself to stay awake, watching Ethan’s hands grip the steering wheel, the way his jaw tensed slightly as he focused on the road. He always looked good, but right now, he was something else entirely.By the time we arrived at his apartment, my buzz had settled into something deeper. A lingerin

I sat at my desk, reviewing the latest reports from the marketing team. The soft hum of my office filled the air, a comforting sound that reminded me I was exactly where I needed to be. After weeks of adjusting to my new role, I finally felt in control of my work, my emotions, my life. The past belonged in the past, and I had no intention of looking back. That afternoon, I was buried in a project report when Natalie, my secretary, knocked softly on the office door. I barely looked up from my screen as she entered."Director Ava, there’s someone here to see you," she said, glancing at her clipboard. "They mentioned it’s urgent."I frowned. "Is it business-related?"Natalie hesitated, then shook her head slightly. ''I’m not sure, but they insisted on speaking with you right away.''I closed my laptop with a snap, the room suddenly feeling smaller than usual. ''Send them in," I instructed.I barely looked up when the door opened, until I did. My breath hitched. My body stiffened as my e

I had hoped the weekend would give me some time to clear my head, to at least pretend things were fine for a while. But instead, it felt like I was only spiraling deeper into the mess I had created. Every corner of the house seemed to close in on me, and I couldn’t escape it. I had spent the last two days avoiding Ethan's calls, leaving them unanswered like a coward. Even when he showed up at the door, I couldn’t bring myself to face him. The guilt gnawed at me, but so did the fear.... fear of telling him the truth.The truth I knew would break him but Ethan didn’t give up. He called Gift and Favour, asking if they had seen me, his voice tense, filled with concern. I could tell he was getting worried, and that made me feel worse. Still, I didn’t want to confront him, not yet. Not until I could somehow sort through the mess in my own head. The guilt was swallowing me whole.When I heard the knock on the door and Gift’s voice calling my name sharply, I stayed frozen on the bed, staring

The moment I turned the knob and opened the door, I blinked in confusion."Mum?"She stood there like she hadn’t just caught me off guard at 8 AM on a weekend. Sunglasses on, tote bag slung over her shoulder, and a knowing smile stretching across her face like this was totally normal."Sweetheart, you weren’t expecting me?'' she asked innocently, already stepping inside like she owned the place."No?" I stepped back to let her in, still trying to catch up."Good. I like surprises.''Favour raised her head up from her laptop to check who entered. "Aunt?" she said, brows lifted in surprise."My hardworking freelancer,'' Mum said with a grin, opening her arms dramatically. "Still typing your life away, I see.''Favour chuckled, standing up fully to hug her. "Someone has to keep the content coming.''"Oh please. You girls and your laptops. I'm sure you guys are only busy with work and only eat take out. When last did anyone in this house cook something that wasn’t microwaveable?''"Don’t
