I had no idea how my words affected Ethan. I could only feel the sudden heaviness in his mood.
The room’s darkness grew oppressive, making me feel increasingly uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath, I turned to find the doorknob. I wanted to go out.
But just as my hand touched the handle, Ethan pressed himself against me from behind. His broad, warm chest felt oddly comforting, but I didn’twant him.
“You liar!* Ethan interrupted, his hand resting on mine as I held the doorknob. “You said you liked me and that you would only ever love me. You clearly said you liked me.” Ethan’s voice was filled with a hurt thad never heard before, and his deep eyes looked wounded,
Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling illuminated by moonlight. I took a few deep breaths and sat up. My head was pounding, perhaps because I hadn’t gotten enough sleep.

I wanted to assess how precarious the Wiley Corporation was at the moment, but then I thought of Liam.
Aside from selling his daughter for personal gain, Jack did have some business acumen. Otherwise, the Wiley Corporation wouldn’t have survived so long in today’s competitive
