Ethan’s Desperate Plea

Tears streamed down uncontrollably, and Lily's heart trembled violently. She pressed her trembling hand to her lips, realizing that just because she didn't want to admit certain truths didn't mean they weren't real...

Lily, have you gone mad?

You've fallen in love with Ethan.

Maybe it started at the Carter mansion's celebration when he publicly declared her his girlfriend... From that moment, her heart had already begun to waver. From then on, she had been utterly insane, completely insane...

Suddenly, she was pulled into a tight embrace from behind, the scent of alcohol and a woman's perfume overwhelming her. His strong hands gripped her waist tightly, refusing to let go.

Lily struggled to break free, but his hands were as hard as a stone.

Ethan held her tightly from behind, lowering his head so his chin rested on her shoulder. His raspy voice, deep and seductive, whispered, "Lily, come back to me."
