Evelyn's pov For a moment it looked as if the glass of wine that was in her hand was immediately about to fall and shatter out but she somehow managed to keep her grip on it and then she forced an unnatural smile on her face before placing the glass on the table next to it was the glass that also belonged to her lover my ex Alex who was also looking at me with surprise, his eyes incredibly wide but not wider than my stepmother.She was really hoping that her hard twisted plan had worked out and she would never have to lay eyes on me again. Maybe she thought that I would be so embarrassed and ashamed that I would not even dare to show my face.“Oh, Evelyn you're here.” She spread out her arms like a mother and then told me that she was so surprised that I had returned from my trip and she didn't expect me to return so quickly.We were the only ones in the living room so I told her to drop the act because it was making me sick.Before I would have her punished for what she had done I w
Evelyn's pov He didn't look like he was about to comply to my demand anytime soon instead he turned around to my stepmother and seemed to signal her something with his eyes, she immediately got the information and she ran out of the room before I could grab her and I turned my anger over to Alex for allowing such a thing to happen. He could have just sat down there and continued to make himself like decoration which was all he was good for after all.He had thrown away everything we had just so that he could sleep with my stepmother so it wasn't as if shame or pride was something that mattered to him the only thing that mattered was getting his way, now that I think about it, it made him a really good match with my stepmother both of them were perverts who had no sense of shame at all and did not even understand the reason why they were supposed to feel shameful for all the things that they had done. Alex looked at me and I was about to go after Quinn but he held on to my wrist tight
Evelyn's pov As I expected I found my stepmother in her bedroom trying to adjust. She pretended as if she didn't notice that I was in the same room as her and while her pretense almost seemed believable I was fully aware that she knew of my presence in the room with her and it was obvious from the way her shoulder taunts then after a while they seem to relax.I didn't want any time beating around the bush so I told her that I was here to discuss with her but however I had to keep a few distance the safe distance was obviously not for me but for her own sake because if I decided to get any closer to her then she was definitely going to regret it and she was going to wish that she had never met me at all.“What did you want to discuss?” She asked, pretending like she didn't know why I was here.I told her in a very strange voice right now that if she decided that she was going to keep on playing games with me I wouldn't just care about the consequences I would come over closing the dis
Evelyn's pov He gave me a look as if what he had done and the reason for it was so incredibly obvious that it couldn't be overstated or even didn't need to be stated at all. That it was something that was supposed to be known like a universal fact but I wasn't really sure I had a few suspicions, of course, he always sees my step-family from day one and he found all of them deployable but I didn't think that he would go so far as to publicly beating up my step brother knowing his position.Even if it was something that I didn't respect I know that if his mother was able to pull all of the right strings then he would actually be able to get my birthright which was something that made him problematic enough and despite my own will next to see him as a member of the royal family it was something that I had to begrudgingly accept as a threat and something that had to be taken care of and I wonder if it was because of my absence that made him feel like there was nobody to hold him back so
Evelyn's pov As I sat down looking at my contract husband I wondered what made him suddenly feel like he could trust me with this information but I decided that I was not going to press into it I was far too glad that he was willing to trust me at all considering this was something that he didn't find particularly pleasant and he wasn't even eager to share at all in the first place.So I was glad that he was even able to say anything to me at all, all the time that I had known him it felt as if he was wearing a mask on his face and because I didn't really care about him all that much and I was more concerned about my own problems I didn't press into it but the more time we have spent with each other I couldn't just say that I saw him as a complete stranger anymore he was beginning to get under my skin in different ways and now there was this Mate Bond that I had to also worry about as well so when he told me that he was willing to tell me about his past it was as if he was taking a
Evelyn's pov I couldn't be able to measure my joy when my contract husband was finally released from that stinking home. Every moment that he spent there was adding to the stress but I already had and I regretted even agreeing to it at all. The worst part was that there was never a complaint that passed through his lips. I knew that I had provided a more considerable amount of comfort but I always expected that at some point he would blurt out to just how much he hated the place but he was controlled and graceful and he uttered nothing bad about it, of course, he was fully aware of the state of the dungeon.But despite all of this the only thing I was expecting was waiting until the moment when I had the keys to release him from that cell. On that very day, Kelvin had been discharged from the hospital and his mother celebrated. My belly tightened up a bit when I saw how she was decorating the Pack House but I decided that there was no need to enter another argument with her over that
Evelyn's pov There seemed to be a moment of surprise clearly written on her face as if she had expected me to clap my palm against my forehead and claim that I had really forgotten to give condolences to my step-sibling when in reality I wish that even more injury had been inflicted on him in the first place so much so that I wouldn't have to glance upon his face for several weeks."I understand that you must be very busy but definitely you could spare a moment or two to say a few kind words to your brother you of all people should know that the hospital is not a pleasant place for anybody to be in," My stepmother said wearing the most innocent smile on her face that was filled with a tremendous smile that would not make anybody even consider for a second that she was ruling in the sheets with a man who was once her son in law to be, and that she wasn't absolutely delighted at the possibility of the alpha losing his life so that she could get married to that said man. In fact, as I
Evelyn's pov When we finally went up to our bedroom I could feel the tension beginning to rise. The silence in the room that we had ignored for so long could not be ignored anymore. One of us had to say something but I decided that I would be the one to do it after all. It was better to just break the bandage completely than to continue lying to myself like this. "Kian…” I called out his name as if I was still trying to learn how to pronounce it and then he turned around to face me. He had been looking out the window as if expecting somebody to come out of the horizon then he turned around in response to his name, his attention fully fixed on me.He hardly ever got distracted like that, so I was a little bit surprised but I knew that if I tried to ask him about it he would only tell me what he felt it wasn't appropriate for me to know and sometimes I felt like I wanted to know how much more than he decided was what I needed but at the same time I didn't want to press him and I also
