The CEO's Daughter 31
"Isabela? Are you awake already?" Amelia's voice could be heard behind the door.Ethan let me down and stopped kissing me, looking at me with a mix of disappointment and impatience.I couldn't help but smile and gave him another quick kiss on his lips. I grabbed my dress and put it back on, then headed towards the door and opened it."Yes, I'm awake. What's going on?" I noticed a lot of seriousness on my friend's face."Come downstairs, we need to talk."I glanced at Ethan and he shrugged, not understanding what was happening.When we reached the living room, Ivan was sitting at the bar and Amy was standing next to him, both with worried expressions.I looked at them puzzled, ignoring the fact that the house was a mess."Don't you see something different? Like something's missing?" I looked around and saw that besides the fact that the house was a complete mess, with food and glasses scattered all over the floor, the pool was dirty and there were bottles everywhere. I hadn't realized

The journey to the house was short and uncomfortable. I felt like everyone was looking at me strangely because of my facial expression.Yes, they could imagine how I was. Upset, hurt, astonished, deep down. I was happy that I found my friend safe, but more than anything, I was angry.When we reached the car, I was the first to enter the house.I hurried to my room and threw myself onto the bed, burying my head in the pillows. I didn't want to see anyone, nor did I want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to be alone.How was this possible? Why did this have to happen to me? Why did I have to fall in love with an idiot who, besides cheating on me with a friend, comes back to find someone else? Wasn't Barbara enough for him?Damn it, how I hated men. They all had to be this stupid and disrespectful to women, of course. But if you treated them badly, then they'd chase after you, right? I was never an advocate for treating a man poorly, no matter what.Well, yes, Ethan was an exception.But

"Minnie?" he called me again, as I wasn't giving him my full attention."Don't call me that," I frowned slightly in displeasure. Only people I held in very high regard could call me that."I'm sorry," he put his hands in his pockets and lowered his gaze."What do you want, Henry?" I crossed my arms and looked at him seriously.He's so good at playing the victim, damn it."I already told you, I want to talk," he looked into my eyes."For what?""I'd like to make amends for my mistake," I saw he was about to say more, but I interrupted him."And you think words fix everything? That's your problem, Henry, you think that by giving someone a puppy-dog face and saying sorry, you can fix everything. But it's been eight damn months, I've changed, I couldn't care less about what you say. I know they're just lies," I felt relieved that my voice remained steady and serious.I stared at him intently, I could tell my words hit him because he couldn't hold my gaze. He still stood a few inches away

"Do you need help getting those wounds taken care of? I don't see anyone else around who can assist you here," I crossed my arms and looked at him sternly.Ethan reluctantly lifted his head after a few seconds and leaned it back so I could see him better.I delicately held his head and used the cotton I had to carefully clean the wound on his head, which was the one I was most concerned about."This is going to sting a little bit," I said before gently pressing the cotton against his skin.He reacted quickly to the stinging sensation and pulled his head away, gripping onto my dress."Be more careful.""I'm being as careful as possible, I told you it would sting a bit," I held his head again and proceeded to disinfect the wound with alcohol, also wiping away the blood to assess how serious the injury was.He stopped complaining, but still held onto my dress tightly.As I tended to him, Ethan's gray eyes were fixed on me. From that position, I could make out the shade of blue they had,

I began to jump around as if it were a concert, dancing and singing at the top of my lungs. I was in a great mood, loving the feeling of the water as I sang my favorite songs.I heard the bathroom door open, causing me to stop singing and dancing, with my hair covered in foam. Ethan looked at me strangely, and since I was in the shower, I covered my body."What are you doing?" he asked, still bewildered."I'm taking a bath!""With a swimsuit? And why are you covering yourself?" he crossed his arms, still standing at the bathroom door.I looked down at my body and realized how silly I had been. Of course, I was taking a bath with a swimsuit on. I laughed and continued bathing, ignoring his presence."Hey, Minnie. I know you locked the door. Where's the key?""In my swimsuit," I continued enjoying the water, not paying much attention to the conversation.I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair."Are you challenging me to go get it myself? If so, you're succeeding."I laughed politely at hi

Amelia opened the door to the room and shouted that everything was perfect already. I laughed and hugged my friend Isabela again.I got up and went to the kitchen to look at the people there. Ethan was looking at me with a smile and an expression of "I'm proud of you," as if he were my father and I had just won a trophy in some competition.I approached the bar where everyone was gathered, and Isabela arrived a few seconds later. We stared at each other, and in a moment when everyone was silent, my stomach growled in the worst way possible, so loud that everyone turned to look at me.I felt myself melting with embarrassment, my cheeks turned warm, and I wanted to hide in my arms.With so many emotions in one day, I had completely forgotten that I needed to eat, and boy, I was hungry at that moment."What? I haven't eaten anything all day," I pouted, and everyone started laughing.They all smiled and turned their gaze to Ethan."All right, buddy, it's your turn," Isabela spoke as cheer

I went straight to the stairs and practically ran down to put an end to that nonsense with the TV series and Amelia, and get back to what I was doing.I descended to the ground floor, where all the furniture was already in place, everything neat as if nothing had ever happened in that place. The TV was on a channel playing Amelia's beloved series.She was quite obsessed with that series; no one could say anything bad about it. For her, it was the most perfect thing Hollywood had ever produced.I headed down the small hallway to Amelia's room and found Ivan and Isabela leaning against the door, looking tired. Who knows how long they had been pleading with Miss Pride.When they saw me, they smiled with hope reflected in their eyes. I laughed at their expressions and approached the door, knocking several times."Amy? It's me, Minerva. Could you please open the door?" My voice sounded like a mother pleading with her daughter to open the door.There was no response.I knocked again, a bit

When you're in a pool and the water becomes more like room temperature, where you don't feel it as either cold or hot, it means you've been in there for a long time, right?Well, that's what was happening to me at this very moment.Ethan and I had been in the water for a while, kissing, playing with the water, swimming all around the pool, he tickled me, I tried to escape from him...Honestly, it was a perfect evening; I loved being there with him. You might wonder, what happened to the fact that we were almost naked? Well, yes, we were both in our underwear, and I honestly didn't feel uncomfortable. It was like I was in a swimsuit, even though this clothing was made of different material.Every time Ethan got closer and kissed me, of course, I reciprocated, but I couldn't go further. Why? Perhaps fear, anxiety, embarrassment...Many emotions overwhelmed me when he touched me with the intention of taking things to the next level, if you know what I mean.It's not that I didn't want to
