All Chapters of Mistaking You For Destiny : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ethan barely slept on the flight. Whenever he managed to doze for a while, he’d suddenly jolt awake, scared that he might sleep too deeply and, out of respect, the pilot wouldn’t wake him up when they arrived.The flight was quiet and smooth. Ethan didn’t do much; he barely touched his phone. Even the meal on the jet was barely touched; what he focused on eating were chocolates from the jet server. He ate a lot of chocolates, trying to calm his nerves with it. They arrived at Milan City at about 2:30am. The Vale’s also own private properties in Milan City-Lake Como, so the jet landed on one of their fly-in estates. Ethan alighted, his mini suitcase already in hand. He stood by the villa, waiting for the pilot to finish whatever he was rounding up, as he was also his personal driver and probably bodyguard, knowing Derick.He stared at the villa for a while; this was his identity, this was his life, but he could only remember himself living it when he was a teenager, before he gave

—11:00a.m— Ethan finally opened his eyes and found Carlos staring down at him, smiling.“What the fuck?” Ethan yelled, trying to jump off the bed, but Carlos’ arm was wrapped around his waist firmly.“What are you…” Ethan paused on his next word as memories of last night, or early this morning, rather, hit him.“Good morning, pretty boy.” Carlos greeted, smirking as he tried to stop himself from laughing because of the funny expression on Ethan’s confused face.“Did we….? We…” Ethan stuttered, staring at Carlos.“Yup, cutie, we had sex and…”“Shut up!!!” Ethan yelled in embarrassment as he buried his already flushed face in the pillow, hiding away from Carlos.“What the…” Carlos laughed, staring at him, eyes filled with affection.“Don’t laugh. It’s embarrassing!!” Ethan yelled, still not raising his head.“Which part?” Carlos asked, more seriously this time. “The fact that we had sex?” He asked, almost hurt.Ethan caught the emotion in his voice and quickly raised

—TWO DAYS LATER— Carlos had somehow convinced Ethan to stay with him in Italy, excusing it as an opportunity for a mini vacation, so they agreed to stay for a week while Ethan called the company asking for sick leave.It had slowly started to become a habit, faking sickness to spend time with Carlos, and Ethan somewhat found it funny. Ethan had been sleeping for hours. He had gone to bed immediately after they finished having breakfast, and Carlos just let him sleep since he looked a little bit tired.Ethan woke up by 1:30 pm, and somehow the first thing that came to his mind was Carlos. He had almost panicked when he couldn’t find Carlos anywhere in the house.He checked the kitchen, rooms, the garage, the garden, the laundry room, but still couldn’t find him.*Where could he be?*Ethan had to go meet the guards outside to ask if any of them had seen Carlos today, but they all shook their heads negatively.The guards now respected and almost feared Ethan because,

Carlos paused, then turned to look at Ethan, who gulped and kinda shifted in his seat, which Carlos noticed."Do I look like one?" He asked.*I... I...""Don...!!!" Another guy yelled, but somehow, none of them got close to the car; they stayed feet away.Then a tall guy with tattoos and piercings walked out, and he was the only one who was coming closer to the car.Carlos turned to Ethan once again, ruffled his hair and mumbled, "There's nothing to worry about."The guy walked to the door and gently tapped on the window. Carlos opened the door, got out and basically ignored them as he moved to the other side, opened the door, and helped Ethan out."What's up, bro!" The guy said. They shook hands, signed, and hugged, patting shoulders."Been a while." Carlos smiled back.The guy turned to look at Ethan, who subconsciously took some steps back, gripping Carlos' ATM, but Carlos held his waist, and without looking at him, he gently pushed him forward to where he was standing."This is

—NEXT DAY, V JEWELS— The moment Ethan walked into the building, several fellow employees swarmed him.“Oh my God, it’s Ethan!”“He’s back”“How’s your health?”“We missed you!”Ethan stared at the bunch of people surrounding him, both those he knew and the ones he didn’t know.“H-Hi, everyone.” He stuttered, not knowing what to say.“Bro!!!!” Ethan turned to see who it was, even if deep down, he knew who it was. Owen was running towards him, his arms spread wide. Every other employee who noticed him immediately stepped away from Ethan even before Owen got there, and when he did, he crashed into Ethan in a tight hug that sent both of them to the floor, but he didn’t let go, and Ethan didn’t push him away either.“I missed you!!” Owen sobbed, actual tears running down his face. “They said… they said you were unwell…how are you feeling? Where does it hurt?”If I were truly sick, I would have been dead by now because of the way you have me pinned to the floor with all
