Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Everything Here Is Yours

Even though we'd already slept together, it was just a drunken accident.

We rushed into marriage too quickly. I wasn't ready for a second marriage. Standing at the villa's door, I couldn't move.

Ethan grabbed my hand, intertwined our fingers, and led me inside.

In the spacious living room, he set down my suitcase, looked at me, and said, "You're the mistress of this house now. Everything here is yours." It felt like a dream, too unreal.

Ethan walked over, held my shoulders, and whispered, "Including me."

I blushed and stepped back. Was he hinting we should share a bed?

Not sure if he noticed my embarrassment, he said, "I'll take your things upstairs. You can organize them however you like."

He carried the suitcase upstairs, and I followed nervously.

"Where do I stay?" I asked as we reached the top.

Ethan paused, set down the suitcase, and walked back to me. His approach made me nervous, and I instinctively stepped back, almost slipping.

He grabbed my waist, and I clung to his clothes. He laughed, "Emily, it's funny how you're shyer than a young girl."

I regained my balance and gently pushed him away, feeling awkward. I tucked my hair behind my ear and whispered, "It's just too fast."

"Isn't faster better? Most women like it fast. Do you prefer it slow? We can try that another day."

Ethan twisted my words on purpose. He had many sides: serious and distant, or flirty and teasing, always catching me off guard.

"Can you be serious for a moment?" I rolled my eyes.

He laughed. "I am serious. This is a normal topic for married couples. I'm very serious."
