Chapter 211: Like Roommates

Ethan‘s POVDad didn’t answer right away. He went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and sat across from me. The quiet felt heavy, like he was deciding how much to tell me.“When we first got married,” he said, “your mother was always busy. Every day was either sleeping or working.”I could picture her coming home late, dropping her bag, and heading straight to bed.“By the time I woke up in the morning, she was already gone. No note, no breakfast together. Just gone.”He leaned back, letting out a slow breath. “It was like waking up in an empty house every day. When she was home, she was so tired she barely spoke. We didn’t fight. We didn’t laugh. We just existed next to each other.”“So… it was like you weren’t even married?” I asked.He nodded. “Exactly. It felt like living with a roommate. We shared a space, paid the bills, but there was no connection. No warmth. I couldn’t remember the last time we did something together, just the two of us.”His voice stayed calm, but the

Chapter 212: What Came Out On Air

Katelyn‘s POV’Two weeks passed without Ethan. I hadn’t seen him once. I made sure of it. If a meeting might put us in the same room, I sent someone else. If our schedules crossed, I shifted my tasks to another day. I was protecting my own focus. Work had enough fires to put out without adding him to the list.The live interview was one of those fires. The studio felt tense before we even went live. The male host sat under the bright lights, posture sharp, voice smooth as we counted down. My assistant stayed off to the side, quiet, fidgeting with the edge of her sleeve.At first, it was routine. He spoke about professionalism, respect for staff, the importance of the truth. But then he leaned forward, looked straight into the camera, and said it.“I want to make something clear. There are rumors about me and a female colleague. I am in a relationship, but it is not what people think. I’m dating Katelyn’s assistant.”The words hung in the air. The control room went silent for a beat b

Chapter 213: Dress The Party

Ethan's POV The message came in the morning: Jimson was hosting a party. Media, family, partners. Formal. Katelyn was on the list and so was Gray.I stared at the screen longer than I should have. Two weeks since Katelyn and I agreed to break up for now. Two weeks of silence. And now a room where I’d have to see her and her father.My phone rang. It was Gray.I let it buzz once more before answering. “Yeah.”His tone was casual, but I could hear the bait in his voice.“You going to Jimson’s party?” he asked.I leaned back in my chair, glancing at the stack of papers I wasn’t actually working on. “Might not have time,” I said, keeping my voice flat.Truth was, I already knew I was going. I just wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.“Hm.” A small laugh. “Shame. See you there if you make it.”He hung up.I sat there with the phone in my hand. He wants me rattled. I put the phone down and went to find Allen.He was at his desk with two monitors and a half‑eaten sandwich. “You look l

Chapter 214: What's This?

Katelyn's POV When we reached the venue, the place was already buzzing with soft conversation and the clinking of glasses. People were finding their seats, exchanging greetings, and settling in. I had barely put down my bag when Ethan walked past behind me, his steps unhurried.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught him leaning and slipping something onto my seat before straightening again. No one else seemed to notice, and he didn’t glance my way.I sat down a moment later, feeling the edge of a small box under me. My hand reached back and brushed against it, but before I could check, one of my colleagues slid into the seat next to me.“What’s this?” she asked with a curious smile, picking up the box before I could stop her.“It’s—” I started, but she had already opened it.Inside was a neatly arranged dessert, one I recognized instantly. My favorite. She didn’t hesitate to take a bite.I froze, my mouth parting slightly, then shut it again. Of course Ethan wouldn’t say anything. He’

Chapter 215: Where Did That Leave Me?

Ethan's POV When Katelyn agreed we should just be friends, I felt the words cut through me, but I still nodded. I didn’t trust myself to speak much. If I said too much, I might’ve tried to change her mind right there.She reached out her hand. “We’re friends,” she said with a small smile, like she was trying to make it easier for both of us.I forced myself to take her hand. “Friends,” I repeated, though the word felt heavier than it should.We let go, and the conversation moved on to safer topics, but my chest stayed tight. I told myself I’d respect her decision, but deep down, I couldn’t just turn off everything I felt.The next day at work, the weight of it all was still pressing down on me. I caught myself snapping at my team for minor mistakes. Missed formatting on a report, a late file upload, a misplaced folder. Things I’d normally let slide without a second thought became reasons to call someone into my office.I could see the way they started avoiding me in the hall, their v

Chapter 216: Switching Sides

Katelyn’s POVThat evening, I sat down with my mom in the living room. She was flipping through a magazine, but the moment I told her Ethan and I weren’t getting back together, her hands stilled. She looked up at me, her brows knitting together.“You’re sure about this?” she asked.“Yes,” I said. My voice was steady, but I could feel her disappointment hanging in the air.She didn’t argue, but her silence was louder than words. I knew she’d always hoped we’d reconcile, for Lucas, and maybe for me. But I wasn’t about to change my mind just to make her happy. My focus was on my career, and for now, that felt like the right choice.The next afternoon, Lucas came back to stay for a few days. Normally, Ethan would be the one picking him up or planning their time together, but he’d just told me he had to leave for a business trip. That meant Gray could come around.I wasn’t thrilled about it, it felt like I was handing Gray an opportunity he hadn’t earned. But Lucas lit up at the idea of g

Chapter 217: Call An Ambulance

Katelyn's POV Winter crept in so quietly that I didn’t realize it was here until the morning I went to pick up my car. The garage floor was dusted with a thin layer of white frost, and the cold bit at my cheeks. My breath rose in pale clouds as I paused, taking in the stillness before sliding into the driver’s seat.Lucas had shot up again, enough that his jacket sleeves no longer reached his wrists. Recently, he’d been dragging his feet over math homework, claiming it was “boring,” but his enthusiasm for swimming was undeniable. I wasn’t sure how long this phase would last, but I decided to encourage it anyway and found him a coach.After his lesson, Lucas came bounding out of the pool, hair dripping, cheeks flushed from the cold. He plopped down beside me on the bench, pulling his towel tight around his shoulders.Between bites of the granola bar I’d handed him, he said casually, almost like it was an afterthought, “Dad’s really tall. I bet if he went swimming, he’d win races.”I g

Chapter 218: The Space Between

Katelyn’s POVThe siren in the ambulance was a low, rising wail that seemed to press against my ears. I sat on the narrow bench, knees pulled close, one hand gripping the cold metal railing. Across from me, Gray lay on the stretcher, eyes half open, his breathing shallow but even.“Keep talking to him,” the paramedic said gently, adjusting the IV line without lifting his eyes from his work.I leaned closer until my knee brushed the edge of the stretcher. “You’re going to be fine,” I murmured, willing my voice to sound steady.Gray’s lips twitched, almost forming a smile, but it faded as quickly as it came. “You sound like you’re not sure,” he whispered, his breath shallow.My throat tightened. I couldn’t bring myself to answer not when my gaze kept slipping to the compress pressed against his side. The edges were already tinged with red, the stain spreading slowly.The metallic scent of blood mixed with the sterile tang of antiseptic in the air, stung my nose. Every bump in the road m

Chapter 219: Mine

Ethan’s POVThe room was quiet except for the steady beep of the monitor and the faint shuffle of the nurse outside. Gray was propped up in bed, looking far too comfortable for someone who’d just had surgery.The moment Katelyn left, he turned his head toward me with that lazy smirk of his. “Well,” he drawled, “looks like I’m stuck with you.”I pulled the chair closer to his bed, ignoring the bait. “Do you need anything?”“Oh, since you’re offering…” His grin widened. “Water. And maybe some grapes. And my pillow adjusted. But don’t forget to fluff it, Katelyn does it well.”I poured water into the cup and held it out. “Don’t gulp.”Gray took it, eyes glinting. “This seems to be your calling.”“Don’t even go there.”He drank without breaking eye contact, then set the cup down with a smirk. I adjusted his blanket, moved his phone within reach, and shifted the tray table.“You sure you’re not doing this because you miss her?” he said.I kept my voice even. “You’re in my care. Don’t get i

Chapter220-The Bullet That Changed Everything

Katelyn’s POVJamie burst into my office with her laptop pressed to her chest. Her hair was out of place, her cheeks were bright, and her eyes were wide. She closed the door with her elbow and stepped closer to my desk.“Katelyn,” she said, catching her breath. “I just heard from my friend on the police force. There’s a celebrity kidnapping.”The word hit hard. Kidnapping meant real danger, not just headlines. I felt a bit tensed.Jamie lowered her voice. “My friend told me where the kidnappers were last seen. If we go there tonight, we can film them. We can get the story first.”I stared at her. “You want to go there on purpose? That’s dangerous.”Her hands tightened on the laptop. “I don’t want to report after other stations, I want us to be first. If we get this, people will watch our station, not theirs.”Her certainty pushed against my caution. Outside my door, the newsroom buzz softened. People nearby had heard her. Someone whispered, “She’s going to get herself hurt.” Another s
