Ethan You're Alive?

Damien realized he had put too much pressure on Ethan's wound and quickly pulled his hand back. His brows furrowed with deep concern. "Sorry. Are you okay?"It was Ethan's turn to be completely stunned. In fact, the sudden shock of hearing the terrifying billionaire actually apologize to him made him forget all about the physical pain.Damien snapped him out of his daze, asking, "Does it still hurt?"Ethan nodded absentmindedly, still processing the apology. Seeing the nod, Damien withdrew his hand fully and went to stand up. "I'll call someone else to treat it."Before he could step away, Ethan quickly grabbed his hand. "No, wait! I meant it doesn't hurt. It's okay, you can continue."Damien paused, looking at Ethan with a confused expression. As usual, though, he didn't demand an explanation. He simply returned to work, cleaning the wound with immense gentleness this time before preparing the fresh bandage.To wrap the gauze properly around Ethan's torso, Damien had to lift him slig

Let Her Go!

Ethan was completely shocked to see Sylvia looking so disheveled. It was a staggering contrast to the fashionable, elegant woman he once knew. A foul odor hung around her, and it suddenly hit him that no one had ever told him where she was taken. He had no idea she had been right here in the very same compound this entire time.Beside her, Crain looked up and saw Ethan standing there, looking perfectly fine apart from a few minor cuts on his hands. Crain let out a bitter, miserable laugh."So, the main reason we're trapped in this hell is still alive and well," Crain said, glaring at Sylvia with absolute hatred. "Look at him, Sylvia. It was all for nothing."Sylvia stayed on the ground, frantically striking the floor with her fists. "No... No, it can't be! How are you alive?" she muttered, refusing to look up.Watching her, Ethan surprisingly didn't feel any hatred or anger. It was impossible to stay mad at her because she clearly looked like she had lost her mind. She was completely

Anna Is Barren?

Ethan looked up at Damien, his face flushing with anger. Completely ignoring the massive height difference and the way Damien’s broad frame towered over him, he stood his ground."Heartless! Because that is exactly what you are," Ethan snapped, staring directly into Damien's eyes. "You didn't even flinch when they were about to strike a woman. In what world is that okay?""And it’s okay for you to die?" Damien countered, his voice dropping into a dark, fierce register.Ethan opened his mouth to argue. "But—""No," Damien cut him off sharply, stepping even closer until there was no space left between them. He raised his large hands and gently cupped Ethan’s face, forcing the younger man to look at him. The rage in Damien's eyes had vanished, replaced entirely by an intense, raw worry. "Don't you value your own life? You have to defend yourself, Ethan. If you don't break your enemies, they will always come back for your blood."Ethan felt his heart race at the sudden proximity, but his

Payback

The words Ethan had prepared to snap back at Caitlyn instantly died in his throat. Her cruel reminder hit him like a dagger to the chest, tearing at his heart. His fingers tightened into fists at his sides as the memory of that fateful night rushed back. The brutal reality that his parents were truly gone washed over him, forcing him to face a deep, heavy grief that he still hadn't fully come to terms with.Anna saw Ethan go completely pale and knew exactly how deeply her sister’s cruel words had cut him. A sudden rush of anger surged through her. At that moment, she didn't even care about the insults directed at herself anymore; she was furious that Caitlyn had dragged Ethan into this.Standing up, enraged, Anna confronted her sister. "You are disgusting, Caitlyn! What has he ever done to you or your evil daughter?"Caitlyn merely scoffed. "Oh, please. He didn't do anything to me." She turned back to Anna with a provocative, mocking smile. "Why are you getting so worked up? As far as

Unless I Follow You

It's done, sir. Thank you for buying my complex. Honestly, I didn't even know it was worth that much, I—"Elijah cut the landlord off. "Is she gone?" He had no interest in small talk."Ah, yes sir, she's gone," the landlord replied quickly. "I made sure to change the locks and put all her belongings outside."Elijah ended the call. He walked into the study to give Damien the update."Sir, it's done," Elijah said.Damien nodded. "Okay, you can go."Elijah felt an instant wave of relief. He had worried Damien would give him another task, and he was incredibly grateful to be dismissed. I can finally get that bubble bath, he thought to himself as he closed the door.After Elijah left, Damien sat at his desk and tried to work. He was visibly exhausted, but sleep wouldn't come. After working for about thirty minutes, he decided to go check on Ethan."He's probably asleep," Damien muttered to himself. "I'll just check and leave. I'm just making sure he's alright." He walked over to Ethan's r

Strolling With Damien

They soon made their way outside, pushing open the grand entrance doors of Blackwood Manor. The moment they stepped out, the sharp midnight breeze hit them. It was incredibly cold—so cold that even Ethan, who was bundled up in both a hoodie and a coat, instantly shivered. He rubbed his hands together briskly to catch some warmth. "It's freezing out here."He glanced over at Damien, who stood perfectly still, seemingly unaffected by the drop in temperature. Looking at the older man's clothes, Ethan felt a flicker of worry that Damien might be freezing, especially since he hadn't dressed warmly for an outdoor walk. "If you're cold, we can just go back inside, you know."Damien turned his gaze down to the shorter man. The chill was real, but he genuinely wanted to go on this stroll with Ethan. It certainly wasn't about the scenery; Damien knew every inch of the estate by heart, having personally given the architects the layout plans to build it.He looked at Ethan, a faint glint in his e

Teddy Bear Hug

Ethan stared at Damien, completely thrown off by his bluntness. "Really?" he asked, genuinely puzzled.Damien nodded. "Yes. I would feel pity for you if you were a helpless orphan starving on the streets. But you are privileged, are you not? There are countless people out there with no food or shelter. That is where my pity goes, not to someone taking a midnight stroll in a safe estate to clear his mind and play with fireflies."Ethan listened to the honest words, and a strange wave of calmness washed over him. The sharp edge of his defensive anger melted away, though he didn't forget to shoot a brief glare at Damien for mocking him about the fireflies."I guess you're right," Ethan murmured, looking down. "Some people have it much worse than me. I shouldn't act like it's the end of the world.""No, I never said that," Damien countered smoothly. "I just said my pity doesn't belong to you. That doesn't mean you have to lock up your feelings. Express yourself, no matter what. Whatever p

Is Ethan Going To Pull Away?

Inside the darkened main building, Elijah woke up from his brief rest. He had slept well, but a parching thirst woke him, prompting him to start his routine midnight check around the estate before heading back to bed. He made his way to the massive kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.Glancing out of the sprawling floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the gardens, he froze. Two distinct figures were moving through the shadows near the garden.Elijah blinked, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him. He instinctively stepped back into the shadows and slipped a hand down to the grip of the handgun tucked securely in the waistband of his trousers. Wait, who the hell is out there? Intruders? He tracked the silhouettes until the soft perimeter floodlights illuminated the path, catching the unmistakable sharp jawline of his boss. The boss? But who is that with him?Elijah’s jaw dropped. Through the glass, he watched in utter disbelief as Damien opened his arms and pulled Ethan i

Take me shopping

Ethan woke up early the next morning. Having taken Damien’s strict academic lecture to heart, he had actually remembered to set his alarm the night before. Despite only getting a few hours of sleep, he didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, he felt oddly refreshed and was in a wonderfully lighthearted mood as he headed downstairs to the dining room."Good morning, Anna," Ethan greeted her with a bright smile, pulling out a chair and sitting down. He glanced over at the empty head of the table where Damien usually sat. "Is Damien not having breakfast today?"An unexpected urge to see the man had suddenly bubbled up inside him.Anna smiled warmly, setting down a plate of food in front of him. "Well, you know how busy he is. He had to leave the manor very early this morning, he—" She stopped mid-sentence, the name Ethan had used suddenly registering in her mind. Her eyes blinked in surprise. "Wait... what did you just call him?"Ethan froze, realizing too late that he had gotten so used to c

Emergency

Ethan looked at Damien, a faint smile on his lips as the pieces finally came together. "Alright, so that's what this is all about. Well, we can go anywhere you want. After all, I'm the one taking you shopping."Damien turned to the front seat and gave a brief instruction to the driver. "Go to the Drain Mall."When the luxury vehicle pulled into the commercial district, the driver smoothly navigated into the VIP parking area. Ethan and Damien stepped out of the car and headed toward the main entrance. While they were walking, the bodyguard accompanying them hurried ahead to speak with the facility's administration. By the time Ethan and Damien reached the threshold, the entire shopping center had already been completely secured and emptied of the public.The guard returned to Damien’s side, bowing his head respectfully. "Boss, it's done."Damien gave a curt nod and gestured for Ethan to lead the way inside.As they crossed into the grand lobby, Ethan wasn't at all surprised to see the
