All Chapters of His Fake Hired Girlfriend: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Anna POV Ethan would have never made the arrangement to begin with. Seattle will be a great opportunity for him, though. I am trying to put my feelings aside and keep him in consideration. This is hard to do when all I want is to beg him to stay, or even just pack up and leave. I have to think of him. I have to think about Phoebe. I have to think of everyone but myself. For the first time, I have to think about someone else's future and not just my own. I have to put their happiness before mine. Saying goodbye to Ethan is the hardest thing I have ever done. I don't think it will ever get any easier. -The weekend rolls around, and Ethan has his bags packed. Well, for the most part. There are things he still needs, but he said he would get the last of his things when his house sells. He is ready to go to Seattle. Well, as ready as he can be. Am I ready? No. Fuck no. I am the complete opposite. I am damn good at pretending, though. Stay strong for Phoebe. Stay strong for Ethan. He

Ethan POV "Yeah, I think it would be nice." She tells me. I roll my eyes, and I'm almost certain she can tell I'm doing so by her next sentence. "You know, you could at least try with him. He's trying with you. He needs you right now. Especially with how he and Lizzie have been." She snaps."Okay, we're not going to discuss my parent's relationship. So drop it." I warned her. "How long are you going to be in Vancouver?" I ask."A month." She tells her."A whole month? What about Christmas?" I ask, throwing my arms out in exasperation. People pass me on the road, dodge me and give me the side eye, but I rightfully ignore all of them."I will try to get back into town for the Christmas party. But, I can't make any promises." She explains."Alright. Well, when do you leave?" "Tomorrow night." She sighs."Tomorrow night?" I exclaim."Yeah, I know it's last minute. I'm sorry, I am." She sighs. I know this isn't her fault, but I can't help but get annoyed. "It's fine." I mutter."I love yo

Anna's POVSeattle was beautiful. Probably the most amazing city I had ever been to. It's crazy to think that Ethan and I were going to start a life here.It's crazy how things change.It's been a year since I have seen Ethan. I kept in touch, and we talked back and forth every once in a while. Not too often, though. The more we talked, the harder things got. We missed each other, but the distance was too much. I just couldn't handle it. Ethan needed someone willing to be wherever he was at. He deserved to have a normal relationship. Not one that was nothing but an emotional rollercoaster. I know that the more I involved myself in his life, he would never give up on me. I had to stay away from him. I haven't talked to him in months.Despite knowing that I needed to stay far away from Ethan, my curiosity got the best of me. I soon found myself outside of his new building. It was tall, probably around 13 stories. It seemed as though Ethan could make anything successful. From my understa

Anna POV I forget that Ethan has only seen me with longer hair. This must look different...much different. "I love it. You look beautiful." He says, not breaking any eye contact. "I do too. It's a good change." I reply with a smile. "Go to dinner with me." He states rather than asks. "Dinner?" I laughed. "Yes. Anywhere you want to go. You name it, and I will make sure we get the best seats." He smiles. "Mr. Fain, are you asking me out on a date?" I joked, cocking an eyebrow. "Nope. Just two old friends catching up over some dinner. Maybe a movie." He smirks. I missed his witty personality. I missed his smile, his laugh, his scent. God, I missed his scent. I missed the way his nose wrinkled up when he laughed or the way he pushed his hair back when he was stressed or tired. I missed the way his arms felt around me or the way he would hold me closer to him during the night. I just miss...Ethan. But things are different now. I'm not the same person I was before. I'm different

Anna POV "That's not what I mean. I mean, I love that you're here, don't get me wrong. It's just…I don't know. Why? Why now? Why after a year? Why show up in my building after months of silence?" He exhaled, sounding frustrated. He's looking up at the ceiling to avoid any eye contact."I guess I just missed you..." I admit, looking down at the floor and trying to count the lines in the wood."Anna....I'm seeing someone now." He replies.I feel my heart drop. Why, though? I knew it had to be true, but I didn't want to believe it. I mean, it was bound to happen. Ethan Fain is handsome, charming, and caring...he would be amazing for someone. He deserves someone who will treat him well and build a relationship on the truth, not lies. He deserves to be happy for once without the constant fear of something fucking it up."That girl who called you?" I ask quietly."Yeah. Her name is Melissa. She's the head of finance for this building. We have gone on a couple of dates. Nothing too serious
