Rewriting My Heart's Fate

I stared at the headline in shock. My mind went blank. Ethan's face darkened terrifyingly, as if he was on the verge of exploding. "Explain this! What's going on?" He gritted his teeth.

I was at a loss for words. But in the next moment, anger bubbled up inside me.

"Ethan, aren't you already with Vivian? Are you trying to play both sides? Moreover, this is just media hype! Marc and I are not..."

"Not what? Not engaged?" Ethan sneered. "But this photo is clearly showing you two on a date. How do you explain that?"

"What does that have to do with you? I appreciate your help with Evelyn Studio. But as for the rest..."

I gathered my strength and stood up. With that, I stormed out. I didn't want to look at his face anymore. Tears blurred my vision as I ran. Not knowing how long I had been running, I stumbled into the elevator. A hand suddenly slipped in just as I was about to press the close button. Ethan squeezed into the elevator without hesitation and cornered me.

"Evelyn, you have nowhere to run now!" He panted. "This time, I'm going to make sure we get this straight!"noveldrama

I struggled desperately but couldn't match his strength. I couldn't bring myself to hurt him.

"Let me go! You liar! I'll never believe you again!"

Ethan held me tightly around the waist, preventing me from escaping. "Listen to me first! Vivian set me up that night. I swear! I never touched her!"

"Then why are you with her? Why did you lie and say you were going to marry her?" Tears streamed down my face.

Ethan sighed helplessly. "I was protecting you. Murphy wanted me to marry Vivian. I had to agree to buy some time. It's always been only you in my heart. My relationship with her was just for show.

"I did this to delay things and figure out a solution. How could I hurt you? Otherwise, how would Evelyn Studio be thriving? It would have been ruined by Murphy long ago!"

"Also, no one in this world can

compete with Mars Group. I'm sorry,

Evelyn. I shouldn't have kept this

from you was just afraid you'd worry and get hurt. But I swear never forgot about you, even for a moment. The person I love and will

always love is you."

His heartfelt confession softened my heart completely. Tears stream down my face again. I tightly embraced him. I was no longer able to hold back the frustration in my heart. "Ethan, you bastard! Do you know how much pain I've been through without you?"

Ethan gently stroked my hair and whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry, Evelyn. I've made you suffer. From now on, I never leave you, and I never make you cry. In this life and

the next, I'll cherish you and never lie

toyou again.

"I'll take care of things with Vivian. At worst, we'll leave this industry. I'm fine with living an ordinary life without the need for wealth."

His heartfelt promises stuck deeply

in my heart raised my tear-filled

eyes and met his gentle gaze. In an instant, all the resentment and unease faded away. I took the initiative to respond to his love by

kissing his lips.

Ethan kissed me back passionately. His touch sent shivers through my nerves. The atmosphere became more intimate in the elevator. Our breaths grew hotter.

Just then, the elevator dinged. We had reached the lobby. We hurriedly pulled apart and straightened our disheveled clothes. As we stepped out of the elevator, we unexpectedly ran into a familiar face.
