All Chapters of His brother's obsession: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

{Third person's pov}The apartment was quiet, too quiet. Natasha had forgotten what silence sounded like, no footsteps outside her bedroom.No scent of coffee drifting upstairs because Ethan had woken before her.Just... Silence, she had returned to her apartment two nights ago, she hadn't cried and she hadn't slept much either.Her phone lay untouched on the coffee table, dozens of notifications covered the screen, emails, messages from photographers.Her manager asking about upcoming campaigns, a reminder from Ramos Media regarding a meeting she had requested leave from.She had declined every shoot, cancelled every appearance, requested two days off but she wasn't ill.She simply... Couldn't think, she curled herself into the corner of the sofa, her fingers absent-mindedly traced the ring resting on her left hand.It caught the morning sunlight, she still hadn't taken it off not because she had accepted the proposal, not because she had rejected it but because every time she reache

{Third person's pov}The mansion was unusually peaceful that morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains of Ethan's bedroom, casting a warm glow across the room.He had been awake for nearly an hour, sleep had abandoned him long before dawn not because something was wrong.Because, for the first time in years... His mind was finally at peace.He stood beside the window, a cup of black coffee in his hand, his gaze slowly drifted toward the bed.Natasha was still asleep, she had curled herself into his side sometime during the night, one hand still lightly resting on his arm.A faint smile appeared on Ethan's lips.If someone had told him years ago that one ordinary morning like this would become the greatest achievement of his life... He would have laughed.He had built companies, he had expanded an empire, he had survived betrayals, he had fought wars no newspaper would ever report.None of them compared... To waking up beside the woman he loved, his eyes unconsciously fell to her

{Third person's pov}The following Saturday... For the first time in weeks...Natasha had absolutely no work, no photoshoots, no interviews, no meetings.She stretched lazily before walking downstairs, where Ethan was already having breakfast while reading the morning newspaper."Good morning." He looked up immediately and a small smile appeared on his face. "Morning."She leaned down, kissing his cheek before sitting beside him. "I have plans today."Ethan folded the newspaper. "What kind of plans?""I'm meeting Maya." She replied and he nodded without hesitation. "Alright."Natasha smiled. "We're going shopping first, then probably lunch.""Sounds nice." He said and she took a sip of her coffee."I'll leave in about an hour.""Perfect." He reached for his phone. "I'll have Liam arrange security."Natasha frowned. "...Security?"He looked at her as though it were the most natural thing in the world. "Yes, Liam and two others will stay with you."She blinked.."I wasn't planning on tak

{Third person's pov}The aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifted through the dining room as Ethan and Natasha settled at the breakfast table.A housekeeper placed their breakfast in front of them before quietly excusing herself, leaving the couple alone.Natasha reached for her cup of coffee, but the simple movement made her pause for a brief moment and Ethan noticed.His eyes lifted from his plate, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "What?" She immediately caught the expression. "Nothing." He replied."Ethan." She stared at him and he said. "I'm simply observing."She narrowed her eyes. "You look far too pleased with yourself.""I don't know what you're talking about." He said and she chuckled. "You absolutely do."She tried to stand to grab the jam from the other side of the table, only to sit back down with a tiny sigh.Ethan's smile grew just enough for her to notice. "Oh, don't you dare." Natasha said and Ethan replied. "I didn't say a word.""You didn't have to." Sh

{Third person's pov}It was nearly nine in the evening when Ethan finally returned to the mansion.The day had stretched far longer than either of them had expected and Natasha was curled up on the sofa in the living room, a book resting on her lap.The moment she heard the front door open, she looked up. "There you are."Ethan loosened his tie as he walked inside. "I'm sorry I'm late."She smiled warmly. "I know, busy day?"He nodded, walking over to her before bending down to kiss her forehead. "Very."She stood. "Dinner's ready.""You waited for me?" He asked and she replied. "I always do." A softness settled in Ethan's eyes. "You shouldn't.""I want to." They ate together, talking about nothing important and Natasha told him about a funny moment from her photoshoot.Ethan shared how one of his board members had spent ten minutes presenting the wrong file.For the first time in days... Neither of them spoke about work once dinner ended. Instead, they carried two cups of tea to the
