Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 135

Chapter 135 I Will Remain Chaste for You

I was still totally zoned out even after the press conference wrapped up and the TV switched to commercials.

Snapping back to reality, I grabbed my phone and dialed Ethan.

The phone rang once, twice, three times still no answer. My chest felt heavy, like something was sitting on it, making it hard to breathe.

It was 9:30 PM. Ethan should've been back at the hotel by now. What the heck was he doing that he couldn't pick up?

I let my mind spiral for about five minutes, feeling like absolute crap. Just as I was about to call again, my phone rang.

The ringtone played for a bit. I took a deep breath and answered.

"What? Miss me already?" Ethan's teasing voice came through.

Trying to stay cool, I asked, "Yeah. Where you at?"

"At the hotel, just got out of the shower, about to crash," he said.

It was super quiet on his end, so I figured he was actually at the hotel, not out partying.

"So early, no social stuff?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

He chuckled softly and asked, "What, you don't trust me?"

I stayed silent, so he kept going. "The event ended early. Don't worry. I took your advice and didn't drink."

His attempt to cheer me up didn't really work. I kept picturing Ethan at the press conference, and it made me uneasy. "Over the phone, sure, whatever you say," I replied.

"Hold on a sec," he said.

Then, silence.

I waited anxiously for a minute, and then my phone buzzed with a notification.

"Cat Who Loves Fish" had sent me a bunch of pictures.

"See? This is my hotel room," Ethan's voice came through the receiver.

Turns out he had gone to take photos. The pics showed his room from every angle.

"Rest assured, I'm definitely staying faithful," he said with a smile in his voice.

I didn't bring up the press conference. I decided to play dumb and see if he'd mention it when he got back.

"Go to bed early, honey. Don't miss me too much. Goodnight."

Before hanging up, he gave me a warm reminder.

But after hanging up, I couldn't sleep.

He had gone to see Faye behind my back. Even though he made her leave Starlight City, he still couldn't let her go.

If Faye became a big star because of this movie, a beautiful and popular actress would obviously be a better match for Ethan's status. What would I be then?

I didn't sleep well all night and woke up late the next morning.
