All Chapters of His Fake Hired Girlfriend: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Anna POV "My story...let's see. Where to begin, where to begin?" He says playfully, using his hand to massage his chin in that classic kind of way. "Well, I'm Garret. I am twenty-two years old. Born and raised in New York. My mom and dad raised me and my sister to be the best at everything we do. In a lot of ways, we are both very competitive with one another. Which is stupid because we want to do different things in life. I don't know. My sister, Gwen, is very...opinionated. She likes...can never be wrong. Ever. Which is annoying, but it's whatever. She's my sister, so I love her. We're close, too. I played sports while I was in high school, which was great. I miss doing that. I like to play music in my free time." He says the last sentence proudly. "What do you play?" I ask."I hate to brag, but I'm pretty good at the guitar and piano," he admits."Really? That's so cool." I smile. "Yeah. It's kind of funny. When Ethan and I were younger, we used to be close. Well, as close as lon

Ethan's POVI toss and turn in bed, not being able to fall asleep knowing that Anna is so upset with me. She doesn't understand the entire situation. In a way, I don't think she ever will. My family isn't like other families. We aren't that cookie-cutter family that everyone dreams of having. My family has a fucked-up history. My family is nowhere near cookie-cutter. We aren't completely fucked. I didn't mean to offend her with what I told everyone. I didn't mean it the way she assumed I had. I just...I don't want to give them something to talk about. I don't want to be the topic of every family dinner, and I don't want Anna or Phoebe to be their topic to attack. Which they will. If given the option, they will rip that topic to shreds. Plus, Anna and I have a bunch of problems on our own that we need to work out. I mean, we haven't settled on a living situation. Although I was quick to answer no, I do need to consider the possibility of her and Phoebe moving in with me. She needs sup

Ethan POV No, she loves me. She would never do that to me. But, I love her and I did it for her. But it was a mistake. It was a moment of weakness. It was with my ex, whom I had a very big past with. But...fuck, I don't know. I don't have an excuse for what I did, but it was a mistake. She knows it was a mistake. But would she cheat on me? And with my fucking cousin?No. She wouldn't. I know Anna, she's my everything. She wouldn't do that to me. She would never do that to me.I walk out of the bathroom and see her sitting with her legs crossed on the bed. She perks up when she sees me."Are you okay?" She asks me, offering me a small smile.I nod in reply and climb into bed, pulling the covers over my body. I am turning away from her and I hear her let out a sigh. Right when I think that she's going to turn the opposite way from me, she curls up against my back and wraps one of her arms around my waist. I place my hand over hers and rub the skin with my thumb. "I'm sorry, Ethan ." S

Anna POV "Do you promise?" He asks, needing more reassurance."Yes, I promise." "Anna, I don't want to come off as controlling or whatever." He mumbles, "But, I don't want you talking to him. He is nothing but trouble, Anna. I know you think that I'm overreacting or whatever, but I just...I don't feel comfortable with it. I don't want him to cause any drama for us on this trip. He isn't exactly making it relaxing for us, either." He tells me. He wouldn't want her to talk to anyone."Yeah, that's fine," I mumble, picking at the skin around my fingernails. He notices my action and quickly adds to his argument."I mean, I don't understand why you would want to talk to him anyway. He isn't a good guy, Anna. Garret is...he is fake. He will get you to believe whatever it is that he tells you and convince you that-""What would he convince me of?" I ask, interrupting him. "Fuck, I don't know. I just don't want you to talk to him." He says, getting defensive."Okay, but why? Ethan, we are

Anna POV "No, Ethan. You've done enough. I think you need to go." He snaps back. "Anna?" He asks me gently, almost asking for his approval to stay. I can't speak, though. If I talk right now, I will cry in front of all of these people. Ethan clears his throat and walks away, quickly disappearing upstairs. "Are you okay?" Garret finally asks me. I look over and see his reddened face. He'll more than likely be bruised by Ethan's hit tomorrow, but right now he just looks furious. "Yeah, I'm fine," I mumble, surprised I was even able to speak. Dane pulls me out of the dining room and into the guest bathroom. He begins to clean my cut for me and wraps it up in a bandage. "I'm so sorry, Anna. I never wanted you to see that side of Ethan." He mumbles. "I have never seen it until tonight," I reply. "He just...he has really bad anger issues. We got him therapy for it before, and it seemed to help for a while. He just...he can get so mad so quickly. I don't know what to do anymore. I bla
