Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1086

Ariana tilted her head slightly and looked at Ethan.

"But I still choose to believe him," she said.

Ethan's brows furrowed.

"Why?"

Ariana thought for a moment.

"Because he was the only one who stayed with me when I was at my lowest," she said. "Because he told me, no matter what happens, he would never lie to me.

"Has he lied to me? Maybe. But at least… he never hid what he was going to do."

Ethan looked at her, a complicated emotion rising in his chest.

"Ariana…" he began.

"Ethan," she cut him off, "I know you're doing this for my sake. But some things aren't what you think they are."

She turned and walked toward the exit of the observation deck.

"I'm leaving," she said. "Thanks for tonight."

Ethan stood still, watching her figure disappear into the night.

The wind was cold.

He remained on the platform for a long time without moving.

"Ethan!"

A voice came from behind him.

He turned.

Trey stood not far away, a faint smile on his lips.

Beside him stood Ariana—her hand in his.

Ethan's expression changed instantly.

"Trey…"

"Ethan, long time no see," Trey said as he walked forward and stopped in front of him. "Or rather… I should call you—Vice President of the Morrison Group."

He smiled.

"Playing bar owner, deceiving my fiancée—was it fun?"

Ethan looked at him, then at Ariana behind him. Ariana kept her head lowered and did not meet his gaze.

"Ariana," he called out.

She didn't move.

Trey let out a quiet laugh.

"Don't bother. She won't respond to you."

He stepped closer and lowered his voice.

"You really think your little tricks could fool anyone? I've known from the beginning."
