Evelyn's POV

"Daphnee, I'm home," I yelled across the room as I pulled off my shoes. I got no response, and that was when I remembered she was spending the night at her boyfriend's, bringing me back to my lonely reality. Well, it was I and Fluffy, but still it was lonely.

I warmed up some food in the microwave, had a warm bath, and after I was in bed, with my sheets over my head.

Sleep didn't come as easily as I expected it to so I was forced to think about my day and how tomorrow was going to be with my 'charming boss,' Liam.

I realised I haven't heard from Avery since our last date at the cafe, and it's been over a week.

Avery hadn't ever been so distant, She would always call to tell me about one crazy experience or the other she had recently.

"Hey its Avery Leave a message," I heard from the other side of the call as I picked up my phone to call her.

She was probably asleep I concluded as I ended the call.

I was still asleep when I heard my phone buzz loudly; I

    Liam's POVEvelyn had become more comfortable with crowds...but she still wasn't comfortable with me. She stuttered more when talking to me now. After the incident I noticed her being withdrawn. She no longer asked how I felt about certain things anymore. She was always fidgeting when talking to me and would almost not say a word when talking to me. At that party, she was a whole different personality. It was like she was a different person, and I liked it more. I know I love her serious and all up to date, but that night at the event was a part of a personality I never saw. It was 7 in the morning, and my phone kept buzzing nonstop. I had no friends, so I instantly knew who it was, and just as I thought, it was my mum. I planned to call her back because I was in the shower."Good morning, sir, your clothes for today have been ironed, and breakfast awaits you at the table," I faintly heard Sam, my butler, say as I came out of the bathroom."I'll be there shortly," I replied as he ste

I questioned Juliet."My life is a mess right now , I'm sorry for not being honest and dragging you into all these but it was the safest decision I could think of" I continued. " What did lying to me solve Avery? " Juliet pressed futher rather softer this time." I know lying to you was wrong.....

More than five years with this man and he's still as cold the first day I met him........... it did reduce over the years but he was still that cold CEO I ran into on the very first day of my interview. For how long exactly could I take this for? I had been in the same position for more than five years, no promotion, no vacation not even a demotion..... i was stagnant. Everyone I met in the office while i started working had either died, retired or been promoted but here I was. "Into my office evelyn" Liam continued..... More than five years and the thought of going into Liam's office still gave me shivers down my spin. Did I have reports to give..?? Not any I can think of actually...... or was he involved in another sex scandal and I needed to sort it out? Hopefully not. "You called for me sir" I answered "Erhmmm...... yes....yes I did...

    Evelyn's POV. The corporate dinner was already in full swing. The beautiful hall was glittering with lights, you could see the expensive clothing, suits and gowns. When Avery fled to Chicago, I had no choice but to learn how to behave or interact at events like this, with grace. Hiding behind a smile like everything was okay. But tonight, the clicking of glasses, and the soft music playing in the background, did little to nothing to distract me from the noise in my head. I kept my eyes fixed on the table before me, trying to pay attention to the conversation going on between 2 colleagues seated beside me, but my mind was elsewhere. It had been like this for days, these same thoughts couldn't just leave my head. My body present at the event, but my heart and mind were elsewhere. With Liam. I know it's inappropriate, and isn't the right time, but I couldn't stop thinking about him, even if I tried. The more I tried, the more intensely I wanted him. The way h

    Evelyn's POV.... I hadn't heard the knock on the door, until it echoed again, interrupting my thoughts. Who was it? I certainly wasn't expecting anybody , not even at this hour. My thoughts had been going through the same thing- Avery, Ryan, Liam and moving out of New York city. I wasn't expecting anyone, not after the emotional trauma that had been happening the last few weeks. I looked through the peephole, and the masculine figure I saw was a familiar one, a man in black tuxedo and well tailored pants. He looked affluential, influencetial even. Was it Liam? Or who is this person?. I opened the door, and it was Liam's rival and Avery’s boss Peris, waiting with a smirk on his face. "Evelyn Evelyn Evelyn " he said with a smile, he sounded like he had reharshed that line a lot of fime. "I hope I'm not disturbing you". There was something scary about his voice. I think I know why Avery felt so insecure about him. My hands couldn't help but shiver, but I was too tir

    Avery's POVNew York city had been my home for as long as I can remember. The city lights, the busy atmosphere, everything had just been like that since I and Avery were little. But this night, something seemed different . It's not like it used it. And it's in a very bad way. I don't feel as happy as I used to . It just seemed way too annoying.I leaned against the railing of my apartment's rooftop, the cool night air hitting my skin, in an attempt to remind me what exactly it was I loved about new york city, but it didn't just seem to clivk this timemI had always been able to handle stress, to to be strong for others. But now? Now, I was beginning to hate it. I was tje one who caused all the problems they said.I had tried to convince myself that I could be the peacemaker, the one who kept everything together. But whatever I did, however I tried, it only made things worse.The war between Avery, Liam, and me was wearing me down. Avery’s trust in me was no longer there and I coul

    Liam's POVThe room was filled with conversation, and the smell of expensive wine, the clicks of glasses. But I wasn't here for any of that.I saw him.. Peris.... I wasn’t here for small talk or handshakes. I was here to confront the man who had been systematically poisoning Avery’s mind against me and Evelyn, all while pretending to be her confidant.Taking a deep breath, I crossed the room, weaving through the crowd with purpose. Peris noticed me before I reached him, his smirk widening as if he’d been expecting this. He excused himself from his group, turning to face me with an air of mock curiosity.“Well, if it isn’t Liam Rockwell,” he said sacarstically. “To what do I owe the pleasure?” he continued.“Cut the act, Peris,” I shouted.....keeping my voice low enough to avoid attracting attention. “We both know why I’m here.” I continued. He knew why I was here, and his laugh, his slight laugh, proved that too.“I’m afraid you’ll have to enlighten me,” he said,“What exactly are y

    Avery’s POVI could hear Ryan's laughter from the hallway. His laughter made me smile... it made me remember how much I loved him... I sat in the corner of the house, while trying to finish Peris's report.But my thoughts refused to stay on track.Ryan. Liam. Evelyn.The names circled in my head like a storm I couldn’t escape.Since Evelyn started working for Liam, she made sure she defended him no matter the action, she was like his own fairy God mother even.Liam wasn’t just Ryan’s father. He was the man who had broken me, even if he didn’t realize it. And now? Now, it felt like Evelyn was slowly taking my place in a story that should have been mine.I closed the laptop, I needed to see Evelyn, we need to sort things out, and we need to do it now.When I reached Liam’s office building, I thought for a while before going in. It wasnt ljke me to show up unannounced, but I had to do this... “Good afternoon, Ms. Lockhart. Are you here to see Mr. Rockwell?” The receptionist asked.“No,”

    Evelyn’s POVThe day had been long. Too long. By the time I finished wrapping up files and preparing Liam’s schedule for the next week, the office was quiet. Most of the employees had left hours ago, but I stayed behind, preferring the stillness of the empty building.It gave me space to think.Avery’s harsh words from the other morning still lingered, carving wounds deeper than I cared to admit. Her accusation that I was somehow taking Liam’s side had left me shaken. I had always been her protector, her confidante. And now? Now she looked at me like I was nothing to her. The endless argument is causing a rift between us, a rift I didn't know how to fill.The ding of the elevator interrupted my thoughts. It was Liam .He looked exhausted.“Still here?” he asked softly.“I could ask you the same,” I replied, forcing a smile. “I thought you had left hours ago.”“I was about to, but I remembered I had some reports to review.” He replied, walking ove rto the coffee machine to get coffee.

  • Billionaire's Twin Obsession    CHAPTER 0044

    Avery's POV It's been weeks since Liam started making effort to "make me like him" . At first, I told myself it was for the best. But later on, with every action Liam did, I began to question his intentions Was this really about Ryan, or there was more to it?. I tried my possible best not to think about it, but anytime Liam came around to take us out to dinner or some other event, I felt like my son was forgetting he had a mother gradually. Nothing piseed me off like the way Ryan warmed up to him, Liam achieved that in less than a month. And the way Liam just crept into our lives?.... And then there still Evelyn. My sister had always been my support system, the one I could count on when things went bad, the one I'd come home to see when the outside word faced me with challenges. Evelyn was more like Liam's puppet now. I know I've been spending time with Liam now, but Evelyn was still in Liam's control. There's something she's hiding from me, I might just be paranoid , but I f

  • Billionaire's Twin Obsession    CHAPTER 0043

    It all started off like a typical day in the office. I had lot of paperwork to do , routine checks for Liam, and basically normal duties that would normally take place in the office. I tried my best to focus, but my thoughts kept bringing me back to people whom my life was basically centered around, ofcourse it was Liam and Avery. For weeks now, I’d been trying to ignore the newly found chemistry between them. Liam had been making a noticeable effort to spend more time with Avery, and while I kept telling myself it was for Ryan’s sake, my doubts and insecurity said different things. I didn't know what it was, but there was a way he looked at Avery that made my anger multiply. I didn't know what it was , but it made me annoyed by the minute. I wasn't jealous , i lied to myself. I had no right to feel jealous. After all, Avery was my sister, and Liam—well, Liam wasn’t mine to claim. But my increasing anger said otherwise. It was almost afternoon, and the work load had really tak

    Evelyn’s POV . . . . The office seemed different, it was probably the tension that filled Liam’s office... since I started the new role as Ryan's 'guardian', every conservation, or interaction with Liam became more eventful.... like a bomb ready to explore at any moment But the tension wasn’t about Liam, It was Avery. I could feel her becominf more distant, her trust in me broke even more with every decision I made. I could hardly now even understand the difference between what I was doing for Ryan, and what I was doing for Liam. The day started out like any other normal day would , I was still trying to sort out the files that Liam had just reviewed. The work I had to do, made me forget about the amount my thoughts for a moment, but that's the problem. It was only for a Moment. I heard the sound of the elevator slide open, it broke my line of thought, but according to my schedule and Liam's schedule, we weren't expecting any meeting, or any investor today. “Avery,”
