Ethan shot a sharp glare at Mr. Parker, his cold demeanor cutting through the tension in the room. Parker raised his hands defensively. “Why are you glaring at me? I gave you such a brilliant idea!”

Ethan’s expression didn’t soften. “Only an idiot like you would think that was a good idea,” he said icily.

Parker’s jaw dropped. “A stupid idea? Really?” He pouted, visibly offended. “Fine, my idea’s stupid. So, genius, what’s your grand plan?”

“Nothing.” Ethan replied flatly.

‘Nothing?” Parker’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re just going to sit back and let someone else take your girl?”

Ethan nodded. “If that’s what it takes for her to be happy

Parker stared at him as if he’d grown two heads. “You’re serious? You’re really going to do nothing?”

“What else can I do?” Ethan said, his voice tinged with melancholy. “She loves him.”

“So what?” Parker exclaimed. “Make her see his flaws. Make her hate him if you have to.”

Ethan’s brows knitted in a frown. “If I do that, she’ll be hurt. I don’t want her to be sad. I want her to be happy–always.”

Parker let out a frustrated groan and buried his face in his hands. He knew his friend all too well. Once Ethan made up his mind about something, there was no changing it. Logic, persuasion, even threats–none of it worked on him when he was this resolute.

As his mind whirled for a better solution, Parker’s eyes landed on a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. Curious, he picked it up and straightened it. The contents caught his attention immediately, and as he read through the details, his shock deepened.

“Whoa,” Parker muttered, his voice laced with disbelief. “I never knew the Miller Family had skeletons like this in their closet.”

The more he read, the more the pieces fell into place. He now understood why Ethan was so captivated by Lily. Her photo, attached to the report, radiated innocence and purity. Her naive, untainted expression stirred something protective even in Parker.
