Sitting inside the study room. Ethan patiently waited for the medical reports of the blood tests to be ready. He was waiting for his sister to call. The fact that Petal might be pregnant made him exist. Now he didn’t want to let his hopes up because it could be a false alarm. He certainly hoped not.

A smile appeared on his lips recalling what she did yesterday. She was adorable trying to seduce him. It worked. He can’t deny that. She could turn him on with just her smile. He loved the new wild side of her and he wanted to see more of it.

Ethan’s eyes narrowed thinking about her uncle or her true father. That man is Irritating. He didn’t expect him to show up and have Petal’s attention. He made her trust him in no time. It’s not that he wants her to cut ties with him. It’s just that something is not right. After all, He’s that filthy man’s brother. To him. They can’t be very different.

Hearing the knock on the door. Ethan was pulled out of his thoughts. Giving them permission to enter. He checked his phone to see if he might have missed Alice’s call.

"Good evening. Ethan." Noah said as he walked inside the study room.

Ethan stared at his cousin for a second before his attention was back to the phone."Good evening." He replied drily.

"I came here to ask you about Pete. How Is she now?" Noah asked, missing the look of Irritation that appeared on Ethan’s face.

Why would he ask him about her? Unless he knows something?

It doesn’t matter. Ethan thought to himself.

"She’s doing good," He replied.

"That’s good to hear." Noah said.

"Do you Like her?" Ethan asked directly, unable to hold back anymore. He watched him lurking around here long enough.

Noah wasn’t surprised by Ethan. "Yes. I do." He replied.

Ethan raised an eyebrow staring at him."You do know that I and Petal are in a relationship." He said.

"Was in a relationship. To be correct. She has broken up with you. So she’s free to choose whoever she likes now." Noah said. He knew that Petal wasn’t interested in him. But he won’t stop trying.

Ethan chuckled as he leaned against the chair. "Did she tell you that?" He asked.

"No. But it’s obvious." Noah replied not planning to back out.

"She will never be yours. I have already taken her and so did she." Ethan deadpanned looking at him.

Noah tried not to be affected by what his cousin said but was written all over his face. His hands turned into fists trying to suppress his anger.

A cruel smile appeared on Ethan’s lips. "This is your final warning. Stay away from her." Ethan said before he left the study room. He just can’t handle the idea of him being close to Petal. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He should punish her for staying too close to him to the point that guessed her feelings.

The next day.

Reading the medical reports. Ethan felt a little bit disappointed. It turns out that it was a false alarm. Petal isn’t pregnant. But her body is in a bad condition. He needs to take care of her more. Since she isn’t capable of doing that.

Picking up his car keys. He left the mansion.

Walking towards the school exit. Petal thought that this day would run smoothly and she would go back to the mansion and rest in her room. That was until she saw a certain someone’s car parked in front of the school waiting for her.

Petal stopped walking. Her body froze and for a moment she didn’t know what to do. Why is he even here? And why is Jacob’s car not here yet?

Oh. Now she understands what’s happening. The question is now how she’s going to avoid him when a big part of her doesn’t want to. Damn it. That heart of hers is not being so obedient these days. To add to it, He was wearing a V-neckline black sweater. He likes him.

"Your feet will hurt if you stay for too long." Ethan said, staring at her.

Petal’s hand tightened on the strap of her bag. She didn’t know what to do. "Why are you here?" She asked him. signaling.

Ethan walked towards her and she gulped hard. He effortlessly slipped the bag off her shoulder noticing how heavy it was and she let him. Her small shoulder can’t carry this bag. If she allowed him. He carried it for her every day.

"I’m here to punish you. You’ll know why when you get into the car." Ethan whispered in her ear.

Petal’s face became red. His words and behavior always flustered her. She was floored by his shamelessness. Walking past him. She went towards the car and got in.

Ethan chuckled at how easy she agreed and didn’t try to run away. Holding the bag in his hand he walked towards the car putting the bag in the backseat before he sat on the driver seat. The two of them looked at each other.

"Where are we going?" She asked him. Signaling. She knew that he wasn’t here to take her to the mansion. She doesn’t want to go back either.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked her back and she shrugged her shoulders saying that she doesn’t know.

Ethan thought about it for a moment before he started the car and drove towards the house that he gifted to her. He planned to live there together but it didn’t go well.

Petal glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Wondering what she was doing. She says that she hates him. While she’s with him right. She couldn’t believe how messed up she became. One moment she’s glaring at and the other she’s wishing for his company.

Did she go mad or she might be sick-minded just like her father? She thought to herself.

She turned to look outside the window. Staring at the people, the building they were passing by.

Once they arrived at the house that he gifted her. Petal stared at him and opened the car door and stepped outside. She hoped that he brought the key with him because she didn’t bring it.

"You should’ve waited in the car while I opened the gate." Ethan said as he looked for the key in his key chain. Opening the gate he handed her the key to the house.

Petal took it and walked inside the yard making her towards the main door to the house. She unlocked the door and went inside. Turning the lights on. She looked around the house. It looked clean as if there was someone taking care of it. It must be him.

Typical Ethan. She thought to herself. Running her finger over the surface of the table as she walked inside the house.

"I made sure that it stays clean."

Petal heard him and she almost jumped in her place. She hated the fact that she can’t hear people walking towards her or the doors being open. Turning to look at him she noticed he was too close. She took a step back away from him.

"Does my closeness bother you?" Ethan asked her.

Petal looked at him and answered."You shouldn’t get too close to me."

Ethan nodded his head and went to sit on the couch."You didn’t speak about what happened? Except for burning the phone and the ring. Why is that?" He asked her.

Petal took a deep breath feeling like she was suffocating. Now he’s asking. Well, you’re too late."What do you want me to do? Shoot you or step you?" She replied asking.

"You can do both. Only if you’re going to nurse me back to health." He replied shamelessly.

Petal shocked her head hopelessly. Men are selfish. Truly.

Removing her coat. She walked towards the window and opened it. She needed to inhale some fresh air. Very badly.

Smelling the tobacco scent. She turned to look at him. He was smoking cigarettes. That means he’s angry. Let him. She looked outside the window pretending to care. Though she hates it when he smokes cigarettes.

She closed her eyes enjoying the cold breeze touching her skin. It soothes her mind a little and soul. Petal glanced back at him and sighed. He’s smoking another cigarette.
