“Trust me, Evelyn has tried to deny her feelings for me for a long time.”“Yet I walked in on the two of you eating each other’s faces! You’re bonded by your parents’ marriage; what did you think was going to happen?”Now I’m the one who’s laughing at the stupidity of the situation. “Do you think an
Evelyn Sebastian picks me up, and we start the drive home together in silence. I’m completely despondent, and I know he’s being kind and not bothering me to let this whole thing go. Ava still won’t answer my messages, and I’ve grown more concerned over the last days before break. He tries to che
It’s Evelyn, however, that looks the best. In a red velvet dress, she looks like she did on the night that I met her. Stunning, beautiful, eye-catching. But for every good, there are the bad. Just like on the night I met her; I see the sadness on her face. She’s been spending all her time locked i
Sebastian In the middle of the night, I’m awoken by screams emanating from another part of the house. I sit up in bed so fast that I immediately become dizzy. The terrifying screams, however, don’t stop. I pop out of bed and bolt down the hall in the direction of the ear-piercing noise, my heart
Evelyn raises an eyebrow at me, the exhaustion fighting against the curiosity. “I thought that was Lake Davey?” She questions. Shaking my head and even winking at her, I tell her she’ll have to wait. “You’ll see.” She has no idea what’s the come. And that is proven to me when we pull up outsid
Evelyn“Hope you’re having a good Thanksgiving. I really wanna talk.”Still, as I stare at my screen, I watch as my text message is delivered but ignored. I sigh heavily and drop my phone on the bed beside me.I flop down on my back, the ceiling bearing down on me. It’s like I’ll soon be crushed by
“He’s the villain, I’m calling it right now,” Sebastian states, pointing at the male on screen.I shove him with my shoulder, aghast. “Why would you spoil it?”“I’m not!” He insists. “I’m making an educated guess based on the clues around me.”I roll my eyes, but Sebastian doesn’t reply to me. Inste
SebastianWe drive back to school on Sunday, and Evelyn seems to be acting more like her normal self. I know the Ava situation is weighing her down, but there’s a clear shift in her attitude and fears.At a stop light near campus, she surprises me with a kiss on the cheek. I can’t help but look surp
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
