Ethan spoke suddenly, his expression turning sharp and stormy.
When he was truly angry, his presence as a powerful executive became suffocating. Winston’s smug grin vanished. After a moment of hesitation, he was the first to stand up and head for the door.
The others followed suit, quickly clearing the room.
Mia was the last to stand, but before she could walk away, her wrist was gripped by Ethan.
His long, powerful fingers circled her slender wrist. The warmth of his touch felt like a shackle, forcing her to top. He didn’t use much force, as if he were afraid of hurting her.

He moved toward her, one step at a time.
A cold, imposing aura radiated from him, making the air feel thin. Mia found it hard to breathe. She was backed nto a corner, her back against the wall. She instinctively raised her hands to her chest to maintain some distance between them.

The memory of Jaxon Rivers entering Mia’s apartment late at night and leaving the next morning flashed through
Ethan’s mind.
