Evelyn’s pov Instantly I knew what he was talking about or rather where he was talking about in particular. It was a small but cozy and exquisite Italian restaurant that served their food elegantly along with a feeling of intimacy, whenever we felt like our lives were going in a rush and we just wanted to calm the brakes we would go there together.It wasn't as often as we would like but the quality of the time there made up for the lack of quantity. He called out the name of the restaurant and looked at my face with expectancy but like everything else that he did, I always made sure to show minimal interest. He probably thought that my face would brighten up with glee as it normally did before in the past whenever he mentioned that place but things were different now and I knew just what was behind that mask that he always wore. I didn't want to discourage him from taking me out however so I managed a very small smile and said. “I think I've heard of that restaurant, maybe I've
Evelyn's pov I looked at him blankly for a while until my full body turned in his direction and I closed my door behind me claiming that there was no way that he had possibly been standing here all that time waiting for me to get ready and straightening up his back, Kian claimed he had been doing exactly that.With my hands placed suspiciously on my hips I asked him why he had not just knocked on my door and asked me to prepare a little bit faster because a lot of time had passed already, his response was that he was aware that beauty took its time and it was not his place to rush me because of that. For the first time since I got out of the hospital, I almost blushed but quickly my senses came back to me like a bunch of crumbling rocks from a brick wall and I didn't allow myself to fall. Of course, he would do something like this to make himself look like a better person. Gosh, he was such a good actor that I guess this kind of idea just came to him without much effort. But I was
Evelyn's pov He looked at me with an oblivious tilt of his head. He probably couldn't imagine that the woman he had manipulated all this time could possibly have a brain cell in her head that would enable the heart to strike back. Unfortunately for him, he had no idea what was coming. “What do you mean by that?” He said and I shook my head saying that I didn't mean anything at all while trying to hold back the smile that was dragging at the corner of my lips. Somehow to my own good Fortune, he had set everything for me so perfectly without realizing it himself it was almost as if he had made his own trap to jump into and all I had to do was sit back and nudge the little pieces into place, as it was normal for the restaurant some wine was brought for us to taste before our food will be ready then for some reason Kian said that he didn't want to take any wine. Now I am beginning to pale up a bit.“What do you mean you don't want to take the wine? Just looking at the packaging alone
Kian's pov “Oh I must be dreaming, that is the only explanation for all of this. I should be having some kind of terrible nightmare because I can't believe that there's any other way that all of this can be happening…Kian are you even listening to me?”I don't know why my mind went back to several nights before the night that was supposed to be the night of the invasion that I had canceled intentionally when I told Hailey that there was not going to be any attack. She literally exploded. No, that was not when she exploded she lost it when I also took Evelyn to the hospital this time she was not going to take anything lying down at all and she was ready to cause a tantrum.Because of this, I had to drag her over to a closet where they kept the cleaning supplies in the hospital. I had been here enough time to familiarize myself with the place. I told her we could discuss here away from crying ears and she crossed her hands angrily claiming that she didn't want to be hiding anymore, tha
Chapter 108Evelyn’s pov When he heard my voice he lifted his head and there was an amount of relief that should not have been there, he took a look around the place probably trying to get his bearings and understand where he was it was an old cabin that was owned by my family but had long been abandoned for several years I believe that it was the best place for my plan. “Evelyn, what happened? How are we here?... Wait that doesn't even matter you have to escape I'll find a way out myself don't worry about me,”As he was speaking I was holding back the urge to just start laughing immediately. He was so absolutely ridiculous, he really believed right now that I was captured and just like him I had been tied up and still strapped to a chair. I had made sure that those ropes were not ordinary but instead, they were intertwined with lines of silver that would keep him in that chair despite his alpha abilities.“Kian, trust me right now you should save all the worry that you have for you
Evelyn's pov There wasn't a shred of fear in his eyes. I had not expected to see it at all in the first place and then even so I was not going to back down, I was going to get the truth out of him, I was going to get the evidence that I needed one way or the other. “So you're really not going to say anything, you're just going to sit there like that? This man is not going to take it easy on you…”I said referring to the two guards who had stepped him and looked like they were itching to get to work, but once again that stubborn man had his lips closed and he said that he was going to speak to only me and that he was going to do so to explain the situation.With that, I rapidly marched over to him with anger. I told him that I didn't need any explanations because I was tired, not only that I was fed up with his explanations. He had a million of them for every single situation and I had swallowed them one after the other. I was not going to take it anymore if he was not going to say t
Evelyn's pov I was surprised by his question. He was never really concerned about his brother before but now all of a sudden he was trying to be a good one? “...this is the first time that you are actually talking about your brother. Did you guys settle your issues overnight or something?”As long as I didn't have any evidence I couldn't allow anybody to find out what I was doing especially not my ex, I don't know if he actually cares about his brother enough to try and stop me but he would definitely tell my stepmother and the last thing I wanted was complications. “Yes we went out together if you must really know but he decided that he had some business to take care of and that was all…do you want me to track him down for you or something?”Alex looked at me as if I was speaking a different language. He told me that I was being too emotional, that he was just asking a simple question about where his brother was and he didn't understand why I was overreacting like this. I looked
Evelyn's pov I was still boiling over what that idiot had done in the kitchen, and it was in this very sour mood that my father found me in the living room; he immediately noticed that I was not happy. “What's wrong my dear?” He immediately asked me as he settled down right next to me to sit down, I looked at him, and a flash of guilt that I always felt whenever I saw his sincere face struck my heart again. I was only holding back because I was worried for his health, he had just gotten out of coma and the doctor told me that the last thing he needed was any great shock. Now what would be a greater shock than realizing that the son-in-law that he held so high and the wife that he had adored much had betrayed him in the worst way possible?They didn't do it with any source of remorse or guilt and now that they could no longer hump each other because of the presence of My Father, that idiot was really looking at me as the next best thing, the replacement for the shameless hag that w
