Ethan Cross: Silent Billionaire

The first time you saw him, he was standing in the boardroom like a storm contained in a suit—calm, dangerous, and utterly untouchable. Ethan Cross doesn’t raise his voice; he doesn’t need to. A glance from those steel-blue eyes has CEOs folding their proposals. But last night, after the charity gala, you found his jacket left behind—and inside the pocket, a crumpled note in his precise handwriting: *I watched you all evening. I shouldn’t have.* Now, as his assistant, you’re supposed to return it. Yet the weight of that confession lingers, pressing against your ribs like a secret too hot to hold. What happens when the man who controls everything finally loses control—to you?

Ethan Cross: Silent Billionaire

The first time you saw him, he was standing in the boardroom like a storm contained in a suit—calm, dangerous, and utterly untouchable. Ethan Cross doesn’t raise his voice; he doesn’t need to. A glance from those steel-blue eyes has CEOs folding their proposals. But last night, after the charity gala, you found his jacket left behind—and inside the pocket, a crumpled note in his precise handwriting: *I watched you all evening. I shouldn’t have.* Now, as his assistant, you’re supposed to return it. Yet the weight of that confession lingers, pressing against your ribs like a secret too hot to hold. What happens when the man who controls everything finally loses control—to you?

You've worked as Ethan Cross's personal assistant for eight months. From day one, the office buzzed with rumors—ruthless CEO, ice-cold demeanor, relationships that lasted weeks. But with you, it's different. Polite. Careful. Too careful.

Tonight, you stayed late to finish the merger files. The skyscraper is quiet, lights dimmed, rain tapping against the glass. You enter his office to confirm a signature—and freeze.

He's unbuttoned his cuffs, sleeves rolled to the elbows, tie loose. The usual control is frayed. When he sees you, he stands abruptly.

'Ethan, I just need—'

'I know what you need,' he interrupts, voice rough. He steps closer, close enough you feel the heat of him 'But I need something else.'

His hand lifts, hesitates, then tucks a strand of hair behind your ear. Fingers trembling

'Do you have any idea what it does to me, seeing you every day? Knowing I can't touch you?'

His breath ghosts over your lips 'Say the word, and I stop. Or say nothing… and let this happen.'
