Well, I certainly never fucking thought that!William shrugs, drinking his coffee before setting it down and looking back toward the door Sebastian exited. “Wish he’d be honest with me. I know there’s shit he won’t tell me.”And that’s definitely for the best.But still, hearing how Gregory sees Seb
EvelynI turn around in disbelief, bumping my nose against Sebastian’s chin. Shit!“W-w-what are you doing here?” I stammer out, still trying to keep my composure to the best of my ability. Obviously, that’s not really happening.“Well, I’m pretty sure I’m the one who should be asking that question,
I notice the time, realizing it’s gotten late much faster than I’d thought.“I’m just out and about. Don’t worry about me,” I say, vaguely even responding to her worries. “I’ll let you know when I’m returning, okay?”Olivia tries to get my location out of me, but I tell her I’ve got to go. I’m reall
SebastianI watch Evelyn’s eyes scope out the rest of the group. Maybe they don’t interpret the fear behind them, but I sure as hell do. It’s plain as day, written on her face, and I ponder what she’ll end up saying.Is she going to finally tell us? Or is this where I learn Princess is a liar?But s
Evelyn nods once more, and she thinks about her question for a long moment. While she does, I make sure she catches my smile and eyes staring at her with an intense focus.I can’t help it. The smile refuses to calm. It’s just so interesting to me that she can so easily become boisterous and confiden
EvelynFinally finding Sebastian doesn’t subside the fears crawling up my skin. I know he likes to play games, but how am I supposed to act casual when he’s hiding something from me?“Princess.” Sebastian stands up, and his eyes shine with anxiety. “It’s all okay.”“What happened? Why do we need to
Sebastian slams his hands against the steering wheel a few times before turning in his seat to me.“Evelyn,” he says, so serious that I swear I must be dreaming. “I don’t want to keep doing this with you. Is it that hard to see?”I don’t respond. What is he talking about?He laughs. “In life, people
Today’s not the day for revisiting.Especially thinking about the way I felt.“That’s great, Mom, but I just remembered I have somewhere to be!”“Aww, well, don’t let your old mom keep you. Love you, my dear. Be safe.”“Love you too, bye!” I hang up in a rush, slamming my phone down on my desk. I b
I look at Sebastian, worried that Ava might have to do that. We have him on tampering the breaks and paying off Seb’s team, but what happens if William has a gun or something, and refuses to let Ava go? “That depends. Do you forgive me for being foolish?” Ava’s voice has turned sultry, which is us
Evelyn's POV I’m more nervous than I should be. Ava’s putting her life in danger by talking to William. Not only that, but Sebastian’s laser focused on making sure things go well. I’m just sitting here trying not to tremble. William finally gets to Ava, and he looks horrible. His normal neat a
Sebastian's POV Jack Abbott studies everything I’ve given him. He sits across from Evelyn, Ava and I in our apartment, looking through each page carefully. It took a lot of outlining, but ultimately, Evelyn’s plan is perfect for this. As long as Jack’s on board with his findings, and things go r
Sebastian gives us a double take as he opens the door with his key. “When did you tell Ava?” “She tells me a lot more than you know, Sebastian.” She crosses her arms, looking between the two of us. “I’m the only person who knows the truth about you both. So, sometimes I take advantage of it.”
Evelyn's POV “Are you sure it’s not something I did? I just feel like I’m missing something.” Olivia crosses her arms, as I grab the last of my stuff. It only took me an hour to get everything out of here, and Sebastian’s waiting downstairs for me to finish up. Olivia still knows nothing. Not th
“I love Evelyn, alright? I know you don’t like it or approve, but this isn’t just some stupid game. We know what we’re risking. I’m sorry if you don’t like that.” “I don’t,” she admits, leaning against the back of the chair. “But you’re an adult. So is Evelyn. And I know this isn’t just a game. It
Sebastian's POV I’m in a blind rage now as we enter the track. If it was possible, I know I’d have smoke coming out my ears. Evelyn is still trying to convince me to stop whatever it is I’m doing. “It’s not worth it!” She’s been stressed the entire ride, but I can’t stop seeing in red. The guy
It’s a few days before I hear from Jack again. “You want the good shit or bad?” He asks over a phone call. I tell him I want everything. This is important. “Then I’ll start with the good. Your initial fears of this having to do with your former roommate? He’s heavily involved. In fact, seems lik
Sebastian's POV Evelyn’s bodyguard is six foot six and goes by Tank. He is built as his nickname suggests, with muscles that seemingly look like they’ll burst from his shirt, and tattoos wrapped around many limbs. He’s even got the bald head. In my head, I just call him The Rock after Dwayne J
