Evelyn's POV “Surprise, babe!” I call out over the high volume in the room. I tear my masquerade mask off my face—though it momentarily gets stuck in my thick, curly hair—revealing my face. “E-Evelyn?” My boyfriend Lucas stands there, stutters and jumps at my appearance, eyes growing wide with
Evelyn's POV “Oh, is that so?” Sebastian’s voice is smooth, and though his mask blocks most of his face, I can see the want in his eyes. He looks me over with those mesmerizing blue eyes, sending shivers through my body. “What, are you scared now?” I challenge. “Maybe you’ve changed your mind?”
Sebastian's POV I stretch out as the midday sun beats down on my back. The warmth is familiar, and the sounds of the beach echo in my ears. That’s typically where my thoughts would end, but not after what happened last night. She’d never even given me her name, yet she so confidently stated I’d
Evelyn's POV If my jaw could actually become unhinged and lying on the floor right now, it definitely would. I cannot believe this. How had this happened? After all the taunts and deception, he stands before me. You’re telling me Sebastian Cain is my new stepbrother? Of all the goddamn people on
Evelyn's POV “Are you sure about this, Mom?” I question Madelyn as we sit together in my new bedroom. “New York? And Gregory?” My mom’s brown eyes fill with confusion, and she lowers her eyebrows. The one significant difference between the two of us has been and always will be our eyes. I ended
Evelyn's POV “Eve! Love, where are you?” My senses grow more heightened, and I shove Sebastian away from him so forcefully that he actually almost falls to the ground. I cover my mouth to try to muffle my scream as I once again cover my towel with my arm. Sebastian looks frustrated but doesn’t
“An understatement, really. More like a beauty queen.” I nod, not knowing what else to say. Who is she to Sebastian? And why the hell do I care so much? “Sebastian chased her for a long time and back in the day. When they met up at this underground racetrack event, it was so clear the feelings t
Evelyn's POV I lean back in horror at his words. “You’re pathetic. You just see me as a reward, don’t you? Something you won all because I slept with you?” Sebastian doesn’t speak, only lowering his brows as he stares at me. “We’re siblings now, in case you need a reminder. Your insults are pa
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
