Chapter 58: Unexpected Encounter
(Ethan’s POV)
The drone of yet another airplane engine still echoed in my ears as I stared out the
car window. These past weeks had been nothing but a blur of hotel rooms, conference tables, and rejection after rejection.
“No investment opportunities in Harbor City at all?” Jason asked, breaking the silence
as he navigated through evening traffic.
I rubbed my temples, exhaustion seeping into my bones. “Not a single one. The Grey
name might as well be poison right now.”
The scandals had hit us hard. My mother’s schemes, Cassandra’s manipulations, and
y own mistakes had tarnished our reputation beyond immediate repair. Now I was
orced to travel to neighboring cities, practically begging for investment.
“The meeting tonight looks promising though,” Jason offered, ever the optimist.
I nodded absently, my mind elsewhere. My fingers moved automatically to my phone,
opening the photo gallery I’d been obsessing over for weeks. There she was–Olivia,
her amber eyes bright with happiness, her honey–brown hair catching the sunlight as
she smiled up at me.
The photos were from happier times, before I’d ruined everything with my blindness
and stupidity. Before I’d lost her to Connor Rivers.
(Jason’s POV)
I glanced over at Ethan as we waited at a traffic light. He was scrolling through
photos again–always the same ones of him and Olivia. The sight made something
twist uncomfortably in my chest.
This wasn’t the confident, sometimes arrogant Ethan Grey I’d known for years. This man was hollow–eyed and desperate, clinging to memories like a drowning man to
driftwood.
Suddenly, he leaned toward me with a wistful smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

Jason hit the brakes, startled. “What? What is it?”
