ETHAN'S ROOM

Author's POV
.
NovelToon
Ethan blinked awake to the soft glow of morning sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains. He turned his head slightly and saw Rachel still asleep beside him, her face serene and untroubled.
He couldn't help but smile at how peaceful she looked, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. Carefully, so as not to wake her, he brushed a strand of hair from her face, marveling at how after all these years, she still stirred such a deep love within him.
He slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom, the cold tiles a sharp contrast to the warmth of their bedroom. As he stood in front of the mirror, brushing his teeth, he caught sight of his reflection.
The face staring back at him was that of a successful man—sharp jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a full head of dark hair with just a hint of silver at the temples. He was proud of what he had accomplished, but lately, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.
Rachel stirred as he emerged from the bathroom, stretching her arms above her head.
Rachel Montgomery
Rachel Montgomery
"Morning, handsome"
She murmured, her voice still thick with sleep.
Ethan Montgomery

He replied, leaning down to plant a kiss on her forehead.

She said, smiling up at him.

"As ready as I’ll ever be. What about you? Big plans for today?"
Rachel Montgomery

Rachel said, slipping out of bed and wrapping a robe around her slender frame.

"I have a meeting with the charity board this afternoon to discuss the upcoming fundraiser."
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"That’s great"
Ethan said, genuinely admiring her dedication. Rachel’s work with the local charity was one of the things he loved most about her. She had a heart of gold and was always looking for ways to help those in need.
They shared a leisurely breakfast, Ethan reading the business section of the newspaper while Rachel prepared a fresh pot of coffee. They talked about their plans for the day, the conversation was easy and familiar. Yet, beneath the surface, Ethan felt a vague sense of unease, an unidentifiable longing that had been gnawing at him for weeks.

~~~At Work~~~
NovelToon
Ethan arrived at his sleek office building in the heart of downtown, the city already buzzing with activity. As he stepped out of his car, his assistant, Lisa, greeted him at the entrance.
Lisa [PA]
Lisa [PA]
"Good morning, Mr. Montgomery"
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"Morning"
Lisa [PA]
Lisa [PA]
"You have a meeting with the board at 10, and a conference call with the London office at 11:30."
She said, handing him a stack of files.

Ethan said, taking the files.
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"Anything else I need to know?"
Lisa [PA]
Lisa [PA]
"Just that there’s a charity gala this evening. Your presence has been requested."
Ethan nodded
Mentally adding it to his already packed schedule. He walked into his office, a spacious corner room with floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a panoramic view of the city.
He dropped the files on his desk and took a moment to take in the scene outside. The city was a living, breathing entity, always in motion, always striving. It reminded him of his own life—successful, dynamic, but constantly moving.
The morning flew by in a blur of meetings and conference calls. Ethan thrived in this environment; he was in his element, commanding respect and making strategic decisions that shaped the future of the company.
Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle, his thoughts occasionally drifted to the subtle feeling of discontent that had been plaguing him.
Lisa [PA]
Lisa [PA]
"Mr. Montgomery"
Lisa's voice broke through his reverie.
Lisa [PA]

"Your 11:30 call with London is about to start."
Ethan Montgomery

"Thanks, Lisa"
he said, shaking off the lingering thoughts and refocusing on the task at hand.
Meanwhile
Rachel's Side
Across town, Rachel was busy at the local charity where she spent most of her days. The building, modest yet welcoming, was filled with the hustle and bustle of volunteers preparing for the upcoming fundraiser.
Rachel thrived in this environment, her energy and enthusiasm infectious to those around her.
Julie[volunteer]
Julie[volunteer]
"Good morning, Rachel"
Said Julie, one of the volunteers.

"We’ve got a lot to cover today. The board meeting is in an hour, and we need to finalize the guest list for the gala."

Rachel Montgomery

"I’m ready. Let’s get to work."
They spent the morning discussing the details of the fundraiser, ensuring every aspect was meticulously planned. Rachel was in her element, organizing tasks, coordinating volunteers, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Her dedication to the charity was well known, and she took great pride in the work they did to support the local community
During lunch, Rachel sat with Lena, her best friend and fellow volunteer. They found a quiet corner in the bustling cafeteria, enjoying a brief respite from their busy morning.
Lila Stevans
Lila Stevans
"So, how are things with Ethan?"
Lila asked, sipping her tea
Rachel Montgomery

Rachel said, her eyes lighting up at the mention of her husband.

"That’s wonderful"
Lila said, smiling.

"You two are perfect for each other. I’m sure you’ll make great parents."
Rachel felt a swell of happiness at the thought. She and Ethan had discussed having children, and the idea of expanding their family filled her with hope for the future. As she finished her lunch, she couldn’t help but feel grateful for the life they had built together.
.

Evening, At Home
As the day drew to a close, Ethan returned home, his mind still buzzing from the day’s activities. He walked through the front door and was greeted by the comforting aroma of Rachel’s cooking. She was in the kitchen, preparing their dinner with the same care and attention she put into everything she did.
Rachel Montgomery
Rachel Montgomery
"Hey, you,"
Rachel said, turning to smile at him.
Rachel Montgomery
Rachel Montgomery
"How was your day?"
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"Busy, as usual"
Ethan replied
Setting his briefcase down and walking over to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"But it’s better now that I’m home."
Rachel leaned back into his embrace, feeling the tension in his body.
Rachel Montgomery
Rachel Montgomery
"You seem distracted lately. Is everything okay?"
Ethan hesitated for a moment before replying.
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"Just a lot on my mind with work. Nothing to worry about."
They sat down to dinner, and while the conversation flowed easily, Ethan’s thoughts were elsewhere. He listened as Rachel talked about the preparations for the fundraiser, her eyes sparkling with excitement. He admired her passion and dedication, but he couldn’t shake the sense of something missing in his own life.
After dinner, they settled on the couch to watch a movie, a routine that had become a comforting end to their busy days. Rachel snuggled close to Ethan, resting her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her, but his mind was far away, replaying moments from the day and the inexplicable longing that had been gnawing at him.
As the credits rolled and the movie ended, Rachel glanced up at him, her brow furrowed with concern.
Rachel Montgomery
Rachel Montgomery
"Ethan, is there something you’re not telling me?"
Ethan looked down at her, forcing a reassuring smile.
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"No, Rachel. Everything’s fine. Just tired, I guess."
She nodded, but the worry in her eyes didn’t dissipate.
Rachel Montgomery
Rachel Montgomery
"You know you can talk to me about anything, right?"

Ethan Montgomery
"Of course"
Ethan said, kissing her forehead.
Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
"I love you, Rachel."
Rachel Montgomery

"I love you too,"
She replied, but the warmth in her voice was tinged with unease.
And Ethan he captured her lips

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, melting into the moment
.
.
Later that night, as Rachel slept beside him, Ethan lay awake, staring at the ceiling. His mind was a whirlpool of thoughts and emotions. He loved Rachel deeply, but he couldn’t deny the restlessness that had settled in his heart.
It was as if he were standing on the edge of a precipice, looking down at the life he had built and wondering if it was enough. It was as if he were standing on the edge of a precipice, looking down at the life he had built and wondering if it was enough. As the hours ticked by, Ethan knew he needed to find answers.
He couldn’t keep living with this sense of discontent, but he also couldn’t bear the thought of hurting Rachel. He vowed to himself that he would figure out what was missing and find a way to bring peace back into his heart without shattering the perfect life they had worked so hard to create.

NEXT DAY
.
{Business Event}
Ethan felt a surge of energy as he walked into the grand ballroom of the city's most prestigious hotel. The business event was in full swing, with elegantly dressed men and women mingling, discussing deals, and exchanging pleasantries. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the room, reflecting off the polished marble floors and the glasses of champagne being circulated by attentive waiter staff.
He adjusted his tie and scanned the room, noting the presence of several influential figures in the business world. This was a prime networking opportunity, and Ethan intended to make the most of it. As he made his way through the crowd, he exchanged nods and smiles, stopping occasionally to chat with acquaintances.
Robert Sinclair
Robert Sinclair
"Ethan, good to see you!"
Called out Robert Sinclair, a prominent real estate mogul.
Ethan Montgomery

"Robert, always a pleasure,"
Ethan replied, shaking his hand firmly.
Ethan Montgomery

"How’s the new development coming along?"
They chatted for a few minutes, but Ethan's attention kept drifting. There was a buzz in the air, an undercurrent of excitement that he couldn't quite place. He moved on, circulating through the room with practice ease, when he saw her.

She stood near the large windows that overlooked the city skyline, her presence commanding attention even from a distance. Dressed in a sleek black dress that accentuated her figure, she exuded confidence and sophistication. Her dark hair was styled in loose waves, and her eyes, bright and curious, scanned the room as if she were sizing up the competition.
Ethan felt a jolt of recognition, though he couldn’t recall having met her before. He watched as she laughed at something the man next to her said, her smile lighting up her face. Feeling a pull he couldn't quite explain, Ethan made his way towards her.

As he approached, she turned and their eyes met. For a moment, the noise and bustle of the room faded, leaving just the two of them in a suspended moment of connection.

“You seem quite passionate about your work,”

Maya nodded, her eyes bright.

Maya Fernandez
“I am. I believe in making a difference, no matter how small. What about you, Ethan? What drives you?”
Ethan paused, considering her question.
Ethan Montgomery

“I used to think it was a success, building something meaningful. But lately, I’ve been wondering if there’s more to it."

“Sounds like you’re searching for something. Maybe you’ll find it sooner than you think.”
Ethan smiled, feeling a strange comfort in her words
Ethan Montgomery

“Maybe.”
At one point, Maya excused herself to get another drink, and Ethan took a moment to reflect. He knew this attraction was dangerous, that he was playing with fire. But he couldn’t deny the spark he felt with Maya, a spark that had been missing in his life for far too long.
When Maya returned, she gave him a mischievous smile
Maya Fernandez
Maya Fernandez
“Are you enjoying the evening?”

“Would you like to continue this conversation somewhere quieter?”

Ethan Montgomery
Ethan Montgomery
“Thank you, Maya. It’s been a pleasure.”
As he left the event and headed home, Ethan's thoughts were consumed by his encounter with Maya. He felt a mixture of excitement and guilt, the thrill of meeting someone new mingling with the weight of his responsibilities. He knew he was treading dangerous ground, but he couldn’t deny the magnetic pull he felt towards her.
~~~AT HOME~~~
Rachel was already in bed when Ethan arrived home. He slipped into the bedroom quietly, careful not to wake her. He undressed and slid under the covers, his mind still buzzing from the evening's events. As he lay beside Rachel, her presence a steady reminder of his commitment, he couldn't shake the image of Maya from his mind.
Rachel stirred slightly, reaching out in her sleep to rest a hand on his chest. Ethan covered her hand with his own, feeling the warmth and familiarity of her touch. He loved Rachel deeply, but tonight had awakened something inside him that he couldn’t ignore.
He closed his eyes, willing himself to sleep, but his thoughts kept drifting back to Maya. Her voice, her laughter, the way she looked at him—all of it replayed in his mind like a vivid dream. He knew he was at a crossroads, standing on the brink of a decision that could alter the course of his life.
The next morning, Ethan woke up to the smell of coffee and the sound of Rachel humming softly in the kitchen. He dressed quickly and joined her, the tension from the previous night still lingering in his mind.

"I missed you too"
Ethan said, and for a moment, he felt the truth of those words. He reached across the table and took her hand, squeezing it gently.
Rachel's smile widened, and for a brief moment, the tension eased. But as Ethan left for work, the weight of his encounter with Maya lingered, casting a shadow over his thoughts.
Throughout the day, Ethan found it hard to concentrate. His thoughts kept drifting back to Maya, the memory of their conversation replaying in his mind. He felt a growing sense of conflict, torn between his loyalty to Rachel and the undeniable attraction he felt towards Maya.
Lisa [PA]

"Mr. Montgomery, are you alright?"
Lisa’s voice broke through his reverie
He looked up, realizing he had been staring blankly at his computer screen.

"If you need anything, just let me know."
Ethan Montgomery

"Thanks, Lisa"
Ethan said, forcing himself to focus on the task at hand.
But as the day wore on, the sense of unease grew stronger. He knew he was playing with fire, and yet, the pull towards Maya was irresistible. He wondered if he could find a way to balance his feelings, to explore this new connection without endangering the life he had built with Rachel.
By the time he left the office, Ethan was exhausted, both physically and emotionally. He drove home in silence, his mind a whirl of thoughts and emotions. As he pulled into the driveway, he took a deep breath, steeling himself for another evening of pretending everything was normal.
Ethan walked into the house, greeted by the familiar warmth of home. Rachel was in the living room, reading a book. She looked up and smiled as he entered.
Rachel Montgomery

"Hey there"
She said, setting the book aside

As they settled in for the evening, Ethan couldn’t shake the feeling that his world was on the brink of change. He knew he needed to make a decision, to find a way to reconcile his feelings and stay true to the woman who had always stood by his side.
But for now, he pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on the present moment and the love he still felt for Rachel. The future was uncertain, but he hoped that whatever came next, they would face it together.
