Chapter 63 A Stunning Discovery

• The day had been uncommonly quiet, and that should have put me at ease, but it did quite the opposite. When Ethan wasn't meddling in my life, something was up. The calm before the storm, as they say.
• I sipped on my coffee, mingling my preparation over the next meeting with my client. Suddenly, my phone vibrated. The message came from Ethan. It was clear and to the point. We need to talk. Now.
• My stomach coiled with unease. There was an air of finality in the way I had excised him from my life, but something about this felt different. Urgent. And despite everything, there was this part of me that questioned whether this was some wild attempt to pull me back into his orbit. Of course, I did not expect him to let go easily, but this? The idea of speaking with him now, after everything-just the thought made me feel like I was walking into a trap.
