ETHAN Being looked at by Vesper made me feel uncomfortable from within, and without a word, I stepped past him. A snort escaped me. How can I lose weight within a day, especially considering how much I ate last night and this morning? If anything, then it'd be gaining weight. I must have gained some weight after all the relaxation I had at my parents'.But Vesper wasn't worthy of my explanation. He followed behind me like an unwanted tail and continued babbling on. "Were you angry last night? Did I do something wrong?" "I spent the whole night thinking about it, and I couldn't remember anything I've done wrong." He stood beside me and looked at me curiously. His expression revealed his confusion. "Can you please tell me so I can apologize? I don't want you to be mad at me for too long." He pressed his hand on his chest. "It hurts terribly." "My heart hurts." My tongue curled. I really needed to endure it, or I might end up throwing up all over him. I turned my head away an

ETHANI watched as Vesper entered the dining room with a small smile on his face. He had changed into long pants and a black top. It was casual wear that looked perfect on his tall figure. He approached and took my hand in his. "You don't need to change. Let's go." My brows creased. I glanced at the hand he held and then at Leander, who had returned his attention to his phone. Displeasure flashed across my eyes. I removed my hand from his and stood up. "Leander, are you going with us?" My voice was a little low. We weren't done speaking. Leander raised his head. "No." He replied. Vesper laughed. "What are you saying, baby? My dad definitely can't go with us, right? The party is for us youngsters." He held my hand again. A frown appeared on my face. He was right. Leander couldn't go with us. But hearing Vesper's words still annoyed me a bit. "This is between us friends, okay? Let's go, baby." Vesper continued. My stomach twisted. Friends? None of them in the group were m

ETHANVesper looked around the room as if searching for something. When his gaze landed on Neil, he sprang up from his seat and grabbed the man's collar. "How dare you write that on the wall?!" His tone was loud and filled with anger. Neil frowned and tried to free himself. "Mr Vesper, it was Mr Ethan's order. He said you look better with Nick at the entrance." For some reason, I felt like Neil was enjoying the situation. My lips pressed into a thin line, and a hint of a smile appeared in my eyes. I slowly sipped my wine and relaxed in my seat, enjoying the situation. Vesper's expression changed into pure anger at Neil's words, and he abruptly pushed him away. He turned around to face me. "Baby, this kind of play, don't you think it's going too far?" He looked like he was on the verge of snapping. Nick stood beside him and nodded along. His eyes were red as if he were being bullied. "Ethan, why do you have to do this?" I clicked my tongue. "Playing? Everyone saw it at the doo

ETHAN As the thoughts ran through my mind, my body relaxed, and even the strength I'd mustered up in my arms disappeared. My lips parted, letting out low moans as Leander's fingers moved around my body. Guilt welled up in my chest. I knew Leander was drugged, and he probably had no idea what he was doing at the moment. I should push him away and take him to the hospital. I shouldn't let him commit a mistake he would wake up to regret tomorrow morning. But... I couldn't. Perhaps I never imagined I was this kind of a selfish person, but I indeed was. I wanted to live. I needed a reason to stay by his side. I needed him to stay alive, but Leander would never cross that line with him. For his reputation and his conscience, he would never accept my proposal. However, I was desperate. It felt like the heavens knew what it was doing when it allowed the mighty Leander to be drugged. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled my body up the car seat. I shifted closer to him and s

ETHANLeander stared at me without blinking. It was hard to read what his thoughts were. My heart seemed about to explode, but I kept my expression focused. I knew deep within me that losing this opportunity would spell doom to me, and I didn't want to risk it. So, I stayed strong. It was the most determined I'd ever been. Under those fiery eyes, the domineering aura from him, and the unbearable tension in the car, I held my ground. "If you want, I wouldn't mind triggering the memory." I added. Leander's eyes finally shifted. He tilted his head slowly. His lips curled, revealing a sly smile. "Really?" My body turned cold. I immediately tried to move backward, but Leander suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me toward him. "I don't mind doing it again right now."With that, he moved closer. Our breaths were a few inches away from mixing. His lips loomed close... too close. My nerves tensed up. I stared at that face without blinking, waiting for him to stop, but Leander didn
