Chapter 153: I Must Go With Her.

Ethan

No. I’m not going to stay here. Not this time.

The echo of my own words continues to reverberate in my head as I walk back and forth in the room. There’s something about all of this that doesn’t fit… And the worst thing is that I can’t see it in its entirety, only feel it. And that makes me desperate.

I run a hand through my hair, exhaling forcefully.

Clara didn’t lie to me… or at least that’s what I want to believe. But there are gaps. Too many. And in those voids… There’s always room for someone else to get into.

And that someone has a name. Alexander.

I clench my jaw, I don’t like him. I don’t like his closeness, I don’t like how he looks at her, I don’t like how he has been positioning himself little by little in her life as if he had the right to do so.

And now… He’s there, with her.

At a time when Clara is vulnerable, confused… touched by something that clearly affected

her. Vanessa.

I close my eyes for a second. Because this is not accidental either, none of this is.

The necklace, two alike. The same meaning, the same story. No.

That doesn’t happen just because, and if someone is behind it… I’m going to find out.

But first… First Clara, always Clara.

I climb the stairs with firm steps. The house doesn’t feel the same anymore. Just a few days ago it was full… of her, of her laughter, of her presence in every space.

Now… Now it’s just an empty place that reminds me of what I can lose. And I don’t intend to lose her again.

I took my documents, and my personal things… I go downstairs again and the employee is already finishing organizing the basics.

“The luggage is ready, sir.”

I nod.

Chapter 153. Must Go With Her

“Thank you.”

I grab my suitcase without another word and leave it by the door. My phone falls sony ete my hand almost instinctively. I dial.

“Sir,” my assistant replies.

“The flights.”

“Ready,” she says immediately. “It comes out in two hours. Everything is already confirmed i also made the reservation at the hotel where Mrs. Clara is staying.”

Perfect.

“Send me the details.”

“I already did.”

I hang up. Everything is underway and still… Something inside me doesn’t calm down.

I walk to the window one last time before leaving. The city remains the same, as if nothing was happening. Like my world isn’t reeling again.

I let out a low, humorless laugh.

“Of course… everything in order.”

But it is not, because Clara is there… With doubts, with questions.

With that damn necklace stuck in her mind, and with Alexander too close.

That last one… That’s what bothers me the most. Because it’s not just work, it’s not… I’ve seen it in his eyes before, in the way he talks about her. In how he tries to position himself and Clara… Clara is strong, yes. But she’s also emotional.

And when something hits her… When something moves her… she may let her guard down without realizing it.

And there… That’s where someone like him can come in.

I squeeze the phone tightly imagining

No, I’m not going to allow it. Not again.

I’m not going to wait for things to get out of hand while trying to be the “patient man” and this isn’t insecurity, this is action. This is protecting what I want, what I love.

I take the car keys and the suitcase, last. I leave the house.
