Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 150 Faris in the Shadows

We made out for what felt like forever before Ethan finally let me go. We just sat there, staring at each other, both of us all flustered.

"I'll let you off the hook for now," he teased, his voice all husky.

When he let go of my hand, I quickly pulled back and sat up straight.

He casually lit a cigarette, taking a couple of deep drags.

Then he threw the window wide open, letting the cold wind rush in, making me shiver.

"You," I said, blushing as I glared at him.

He leaned back, turned his head, and looked at me with those burning eyes.

Suddenly, he bit down on the cigarette, straightened up, and started the car.

"Let's head home. I'll teach you a thing or two when we get there."

The car sped off, and I looked out the window, my cheeks burning.

Ethan touched my earlobe and grinned. "Feeling shy?"

I ignored him. He chuckled and blew a smoke ring right at me.

"I love it when you get all shy, even your ears turn red, just like a little girl."

I waved away the smoke and lightly hit his arm, pretending to be mad. "You're so annoying."

As soon as we got home, he tossed me onto the couch and started showing off his masterful lovemaking skills.

A few days after Bella got out of the hospital, it was Christmas.

The doc told her to take it easy, but Bella couldn't sit still.

On Christmas Eve, Bella and I hit up the music square.

Ethan and Zachary clearly weren't into the whole scene; they were just tagging along.

The first time those two met, they got into a fight and ended up at the police station. Now, their wives were besties. They couldn't exactly become friends, especially since Zachary had taken Oliver's girl, but at least they weren't at each other's throats anymore. At worst, they just ignored each other.

The square was packed and buzzing tonight.

Through the thick crowd, I spotted a stage in the center with some rhythmic music blaring. Staff were busy setting things up.

The square was full of masked people, mostly young, going wild for Christmas, making it feel like a full-blown party.

Bella and I each had an inflatable toy, squeezing through the crowd. Before long, we got separated. But luckily, we held hands tight, so we didn't get split up.

I stood on tiptoe, trying to spot Ethan, but there were just too many people.

Suddenly, Bella's hand slipped away from mine. I turned around, eyes wide.
