CHAPTER 2 ~~ETHAN WILDER~~ “Sign the papers, Ethan! I don’t have all the time in the world. It really is over between us. We are never getting married!” Sarah yelped, her patience wearing thin. I picked up the pen. My hand was steady, even though I felt my heart shattering into a million pieces. I signed the papers without a word. I made no eye contact as I pushed the documents back across the cold metal table. "You’re right, Sarah," I said, my voice dropping to a calm note. "I was a fool. But you have no idea what you’ve just thrown away. You think Julian Vane is the higher one? From where I’m standing, you’re both looking very, very small." She laughed again and the sound grated on my nerves. I watched quietly as she tucked the papers into her bag. "Stop fantasizing, Ethan. Be content with being worthless. Enjoy your freedom… I'm sure the streets will be very welcoming to a man with nothing. Goodbye, Ethan." She turned on her heel and vanished through the doors without a back

CHAPTER 4 ~~ETHAN WILDER~~ After giving it ânother careful, thorough thought, I finally arrive here. Realistically, it’s my first time at the Vance cooperation. I’d only hear about it in TVs, radios, magazines. It was big but couldn’t compare to the Phoenix empire. I felt every eye burning into me as I walked into the cooperation. I headed straight for the open office on the third floor, where my ex wife and her man were currently making a scene. "Ethan?" She called out to me, her eyes widening like she’d just seen a ghost. Shortly after, the shock was replaced by a panicked rage. She stepped toward me before I could even draw a breath to speak. “I told you to stay away!" she hissed, her face contorting. "You’re pathetic, Ethan! Did you think you could just walk in here and beg for a second chance? Did you think I’d feel sorry for you because you have nothing?" Beside her, Julian let out a loud, mocking laughter that echoed in the now quiet office. He looked me up and dow

~~ETHAN WILDER~~"Association with a criminal is a terrible thing, which is why, as the majority shareholder, I am firing you for cause. Security will escort you out.”. Her mouth dropped open in astonishment as she glared at me. “You are firing me?” she asked incredulously.“You heard right, Sarah Bennett. As of today, you are no longer a partner of the Vance Corporation,” I said, spelling out every word flatly. I turned my attention to the rest of the room“Meeting is dismissed.”Sarah whipped around to face her new man, who was simmering with a lame rage. “Do something, Julian! You are the heir! An outsider shouldn't have a say in this, right?!”He did nothing to acknowledge her rants. He was too busy staring at the ruins of his empire on his phone screen. I didn't wait for the fallout. I turned on my heel and walked out of the boardroom. I was halfway down the corridor when I heard the frantic, uneven clicking of heels running behind me."Ethan! Ethan, stop!"I didn't slow down,

~~ALINA JOHNSON~~ The more I got closer, the more I felt the coldness radiating off of him I almost contemplated returning back to my table but he looked up right at that moment, catching sight of me briefly before focusing back on the whiskey in front of him. "Ethan?" I said softly “How can I help you, Alina?” I pretended not to notice the cold edge to his voice.. “Are you having problem settling into your new position?” "I'm not here for the office," I said, sliding into the seat opposite him. "I'm here because you look like you’re trying to disappear, and I owe it to you to make sure you don’t." Finally, he raised his head, locking his eyes on mine. They were bloodshot and piercingly cold, stripped of every ounce of the warmth I’d seen in the boardroom "You don't owe me anything. I did a favor for your father. That’s where it ends." "Is that why you’re sitting in a dive bar at midnight? Because it 'ends' there?" I tried to crack a smile to ease the tension but it came off la

~~ETHAN WILDER~~ My heels advanced through the mildly lit hallways. I stopped in front of her office. Somehow, I still wasn't satisfied even after lashing out at Julian in the meeting. But maybe it wasn't even his fault. It wasn't anybody's in fact. How could she just stand there and let everyone make a fool of her? Anybody would lunge at the advantages that came with this position, even going overboard already with the privileges but Alina…Alina was something else. And it riled me up every time I witnessed her display of defenselessness. She just had to be a reminder of my past self without power and foolishly blinded by love. Despite how disgusted her actions made me, it made me feel a pull towards her. I knocked twice, my eyes squinting in worry when there was no response. So I softly pushed the door open, not surprised to meet an empty office. As I filled my eyes with the cozy space, I suddenly caught sight of a folder in the dustbin, right behind her door. My g
