I looked at him as he said those words, my chest still pressed against his.“And what if I refuse? Say no? You gonna jump on me or something?” I asked in a steady voiceHe just stared at me for what felt like forever then slowly let go, his hands dropping to his sides.“That’s my answer,” he said.I raised a brow. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“I always follow consent. You say no, then it’s no,” he replied.I scoffed. That line might make him sound like a real man, but I know better.“But don’t mistake that for weakness,” he added, his eyes still on mine. I tried not to let my gaze drift to the very obvious abs right in front of me.“I won’t always need your words. Sometimes your eyes say enough. And tonight, they’re saying you don’t want to share a bed with me. So fine… I’ll let it go.”Oh, so now he reads eyes?I crossed my arms, giving him a look. “You really think you’ve got me all figured out, huh?”He smirked. “I don’t need to figure you out. I just know what I want.”“And wh

When I didn’t answer, he took a step closer.“So, you’re here for revenge?” he asked looking at me. I had to be careful, if he didn’t know my real reason yet, I wasn’t about to give it away.“What are you talking about?” I replied, keeping my voice steady. He studied me for a moment, like trying to figure out a puzzle.“The more I get to know you, the more confusing you become. You try to seduce me, even though you clearly don’t have feelings for me. Then you just waltz into my life, saying you want to help, but I can’t shake the feeling you’re after something,” he said in a low voice but I just kept quiet.“Are you trying to use me to get to my father? Or what exactly?” He asked but after few seconds, he smirked. “Why do I even bother? You’re not going to answer.” Then he chuckled, a dark sound that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“But still... like I said before, you’re the first woman who’s ever caught my attention. Every day I find myself wanting to know more about you,” he admitted,

The moment I opened the link, my eyes flew wide. I pushed my chair back with a loud scrape and jumped to my feet.“What the hell…” I whispered, scrolling through the headline, my heart pounding.Ethan was still sitting there, just watching me but this wasn’t about him. Not now.I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed Tiara. Straight to voicemail.“She literally just sent me this... why is her phone off now of all times?” I muttered, hitting redial, still nothing.But then it hit me, Tiara wasn’t the one I needed to call.I dialed Levi next. The line rang once, twice then dead. Switched off.Damn it. I had to go.I turned and rushed upstairs, straight into the dressing room. I rifled through the racks until I found something and then I tossed it on the bed.And of course, that was the exact moment Ethan chose to walk in.He glanced at the dress, then at me, like he was trying to piece it together.“And where exactly are you going?” he asked“I’m going to work,” I said, snatching the

After seeing all that, my first instinct was to grab my phone and call Tiara. My hands were shaking so badly I nearly dropped it as I tapped her name.She didn’t pick up.“Come on, Tiara... pick up, pick up,” I muttered, pacing as my heart beat louder with each ring.Still nothing.My thoughts were spiraling. How could this be possible?Did this mean Ethan knew me before I even came here?Did he know I was Skylar all along?No. No, that can’t be. That’s impossible… right?Just then, my phone buzzed in my hand. It was Tiara.“Hello Tiara!” I said the moment I answered.“Levi’s okay,” she said quickly, like she already knew that was my biggest concern. And honestly, it was at least, until a few minutes ago.“Thank God,” I breathed out, but I didn’t waste time. “Tiara, listen. That’s good to know, but something’s not right. I think Ethan... I think he’s known who I am this whole time. Even before I met him.”“What??” she practically yelled, and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me.“

Hearing that made me look away for a moment.No matter how dangerous someone is… even without emotions… could he really be capable of letting his own sister die?Kael didn’t stop.“Yeah, maybe he only admitted it because of guilt. He was still young. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous,” he said, his voice low but firm. “He blamed himself for taking her there. He believed he was the reason she died. And… yeah, I blame him too.”I turned to look at him, eyes narrowing slightly. “Wait… so does that mean he didn’t actually kill Emily?” I asked and there was a heavy silence.Then he spoke, slower this time. “It wasn’t really his fault. Not completely. The room they were in… it was locked. And no one came. He was just a kid. But he still blames himself for taking her there, for not getting help, for not breaking the damn door down.”Kael’s voice was steady, but there was something brittle underneath it. I could tell this wasn’t just a story to him, it still haunted him too.I wanted t
