His words made my stomach stiffen.


    Ethan slowly raised his hand and trailed his fingers down my cheek. “Could you really be satisfied just being Alexander’s mistress?”


    *Olivia*


    I swallowed around the lump that had developed in my throat. Even though I hated to admit it, Ethan did have a point. Alexander’s family would never allow him to marry someone like me.


    It wasn’t even like I was making an assumption. Just at the thought of Alexander spending the night with him, his mother had set him up on a date with Naomi. No matter what I did, the Green family would never ept me. That thought made it feel like someone had just put a thousand pound boulder on my chest.


    But then I shook my head to clear it. I red at my ex. I wasn’t going to allow him to get into my head. I didn’t even want to be with Alexander. My life wasplicated enough. Why would I want toplicate it even more by dating my boss?


    I crossed my arms and cocked my hip. “It’s funny that you would bring up the subject of mistresses. When you’re the one who slept with Chloe when you were still married to me.” I pointed an using finger at him. “It seems like whoever you’re mitted‘ to at the time you don’t seem to care about. Why the hell are you in my hotel room arguing with me when your future pregnant wife is in the hospital after being stabbed and almost drowned?” I paused and blew out a long breath “Are you cheating on her?”

    “Chloe tricked me,” Ethan admitted and averted his eyes from mine. “She faked being pregnant. She forced me into a sexual rtionship with her. I never wanted to cheat on you. I swear it.”


    I rolled my eyes. “Tell someone who will believe it,” I snapped. “I’m so sick of your fibs. Nothing is ever your fault, is it?” I waited until Ethan was looking me in the eyes before I said what I needed to. I wanted to make sure that he was actually hearing me and not pretending to listen like usual. “We are never getting back together, Ethan. The most important thing in a rtionship is trust, and after everything that you’ve put me through, I will never trust you again.”


    Ethan winced like I had hit him, but I kept going.


    “Now, go take care of Chloe, or you can kiss your rtionship goodbye,” I said and crossed my arms with finality.


    Instead of leaving, Ethan gazed at me with hurt in his eyes. I couldn’t tell whether he was putting on an act, but I didn’t care either way. He didn’t deserve my sympathy.


    “Why are you treating me like shit?” he asked, his voice breaking on thest word.


    I scoffed. “You’re the one who, not even five minutes ago forced yourself into my room and pushed me around. Besides, everything that I’ve said was true.”


    “You can apologize to me by apanying me to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast,” Ethan said and took my hand, pulling me out of the room.


    I tried to stand my ground, but he was too powerful.


    He opened the door and dragged me out of the room. I wanted to kick him or punch him in the face in order to let me go, but there were

    Ethan continued to drag me toward the elevator, and I wondered how there was ever a time when I was in love with this big bully.

    Meanwhile, at the hotel’s restaurant, Ava was sitting at a table with Aiden and Richard. She picked up her ss of orange juice but almost dropped it when Aiden bumped her shoulder with his.


    “What was that for?” Ava murmured, gripping her ss tighter so she wouldn’t drop it.


    “There’s a man pulling Olivia behind him,” Aiden whispered to his sister. “Who is that? Do you know him?”


    As soon as Ava saw Ethan pulling Olivia through the crowded restaurant, she mmed her ss down and orange juice sloshed onto the white tablecloth. She stood up and went to rescue her friend.
