“You good?”
I nodded once.
I walked into the foyer. Ethan was already there, looking like he’d been pacing the whole time.
He stepped forward. “I am glad you are back.”
I said nothing, just started taking off my shoes. As I bent over, a sharp pain shot up my back and I hissed.
Ethan moved to help. “Let me-“
“Don’t touch me.”
He stopped and stepped back. I limped into the living room. He followed, holding out his phone.
“I installed cameras in the office. You can check the footage anytime,” he said quickly. “What happened today… won’ t happen again.”
I felt surprised. He really did something.
“There’s nothing going on between me and Chole. She’s… she’s just playful. Like a little sister.”
I raised a brow. “Cute enough to spend nights with?”
He flinched. “Her father asked me to train her. Windsor Group is signing a deal next week. I had to let her in.”
“So you hurt your wife to please your future in-laws.”
“It’s not like that.”
“And yet, you find her funny and cute,” I said, crossing my arms. “Amazing.”
He sighed. “I told you, Olivia. There’s nothing between us.”
There was a long silence.
“I think you should go on your trip,” he said. “When you’re back… we can try for a baby. Then you won’t have to worry.”
I smiled. A small, quiet smile.
He thought it meant I agreed. He stepped forward and pulled me into a hug. His grip was tight. Like he didn’t want to let me go.
But I felt nothing. Nothing but disgust.
He broke me. Then thought a baby could fix us.
I said nothing and let him help me up the stairs. When we got to the bedroom, he made a quick call.
“Send the pack doctor,” he said.
The doctor came within a few minutes and said the bone was fine. Just some muscle strain. Ethan let out a quiet sigh, like he’d been holding his breath the whole time.
When I got up to go to the bathroom, he followed right after me,
“I’ll help you,” he said, hand already reaching out.
I stopped at the doorway. “No need.”
I looked right at him. His hands had touched many naked women. If he touched me with those hands, I might have re- ally poisoned him.
He blinked. Then nodded slowly. “Okay. I’ll wait outside. Just call me if you need anything.”
I smiled.
He was still outside the door when I came out in my nightgown. I saw the desire in his eyes when he looked at me. He wasn’t even trying to hide it.
“My back still hurts,” I said, walking past him, “so if you’re planning to do anything tonight, just know I won’t be able to ‘satisfy’ you.”
He didn’t move. Then he came up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed my shoulder.
“I’ll be gentle,” he whispered, like that made everything okay.
I didn’t move. “I’m not in the mood. I’m tired. I’m sore.”
He paused. His grip loosened.
The next day, I didn’t go to the office. Instead, I called my team from the project department and invited them to din- ner. I’d already booked a private room.
Everyone showed up on time. There was a buzz of small talk and light chatter when I walked in.
We ordered food. After everyone had settled, I stood and raised my glass and told them I was leaving the company.
The room went silent.
Lily’s eyes widened. “You’re serious?”
I nodded. “Yeah. It’s a personal decision.”
Lily set her glass down. “I still remember when you joined. Everyone said you were just the Alpha’s girlfriend. Some of us believed it.”
I smiled a little. “That’s fair.”
“But then you actually worked. You brought in deals. You stayed late with us. You made Ethan look lazy.”
That got a few laughs.
“Once you’re gone,” Lily added, her voice shaky, “this department is going to feel hollow. You’ve been our back- bone.”
“I’ll still be around,” I said. “You can call me anytime, And if you ever want to hang out, I’m game.”
Lily wiped her eyes.
Someone else at the table said, “So what’s next for you?”
“I don’t know yet,” I said honestly. “Maybe travel. Maybe start over somewhere else.”
“Green Group might be hiring,” one of the guys said. “CEO just got back from London. Still looking for a chief secre- tary.”
Olivia’s POV
Lily leaned forward, her eyes bright. “Yes, Luna. That chief secretary position at Green Group would be amazing for you.”
I gave a small smile. “It sounds good.”
