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
Evelyn's pov I found my stepmother in the garden and she was not even alone, just when I thought I could not be more disgusted by this man, he somehow managed to get on my nerves even more. “Alex, what do you think you're doing? This is broad daylight somebody might catch us!” I heard my stepmother's worried voice as I got closer to the tree that I was seeing their familiar figures. Alex, who sounded as desperate as anybody could, was clinging to her by her shoulders.“... Come on I've been so patient, just a little fun besides there's nobody else here all this time that you are using to resist we can use it for something better…” I felt a cold feeling run down my spine. “... Why are you acting like this? Quinn? The reason you came to me in the first place was because that old man could never satisfy you.”He said, referring to my father who just came back from the hospital and was parading him as the perfect son-in-law. He really had no shame at all. “Yes, I know and I'm not den
Evelyn's pov I came to the door and my hand hovered over it trembling, why was I hesitating? I should be bursting out of this room without any hesitation. Did a part of me actually believe what this man was saying? I should know that everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie…unable to do anything else now he wants to create a rift before me and my father.I swerved around, I noticed he hoped for me to accept his words. Was he really expecting me to swallow what he said so easily? “So you really think that you can keep lying to me?” His eyes twisted with an emotion that I could not read, I had never seen it on his face before. “... I know this sounds complicated, it started off just the way you are thinking…but along the way, I got to know you, I got to know the kind of person that you were and I realized that you were completely different from your father, you were nothing like him, and you didn't deserve to suffer the way he did,”He said with a dragged out voice that seemed
Evelyn’s pov Even when I didn't get the assurance that I was hoping for, I didn't want to throw the idea of my father still being innocent down the ditch just like that. I got up with many thoughts in my head. “Good night father..” I said with the most sincere smile that I could master, it didn't reach up to my eyes but before my father could notice this I quickly made my way out of the living room and rushed over to my own room. As I arrived in my own room I crashed on my bed, the thoughts in my head still eating me up, tomorrow I will listen to him…at least I couldn't get out of this without getting something. As my head was pressed against the pillow my eyes struggled to close themselves. My eyelids remain stubbornly open and I will need to get a good rest for that night. The worst part was that I actually bumped into my stepbrother and he saw me in that unruly condition. “Woah did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something?”He really got on my nerves, he wasn't
Evelyn's pov “I can't remember the last time we all gathered like this to eat like a family…” my father exclaimed with excitement as he settled at his chair at the dining table.There was a deep satisfaction written all over his face to see all of us settling down. When I stared at the other, I wasn't pleased about it. “Neither can I…” I admitted not only to him but also to myself. Ignoring my stepfamily was one of my main priorities in life, it saved me a lot of problems and uncomfortable encounters…something that I was always sure of whenever I met with them alone because they would immediately fit down the facade of being the perfect step family in front of my father and then show who they really were exposing their true colors behind him. The breakfast was inarable with my father there but these people were desperate to try and talk to me but I stylishly brought back every conversation over to my father. Eventually, it was over, and I stood up to my feet immediately greeting e
Evelyn's pov I had not expected to run into him at all but I should have known that since he didn't have breakfast with us this was inevitable. No, it wasn't but if even Kelvin could get the courage to speak with me I wouldn't be surprised that this man also had the same thing as well. But I didn't have time to waste and I wanted to dismiss him immediately so that I could get to what I needed to do. I slowly rise from my table when he quickly comes to join me. “Where are you rushing off to?” He said in a very playful tone that completely urged my skin to crawl with bumps of disgust, after our last encounter I thought that he would give me a very good gap and he wouldn't try to speak to me at all but obviously, he was not ashamed at al as that he was more than comfortable speaking to me now despite everything that he had done. I was so angry with him. I had never really fully addressed this anger so I decided that maybe I would implant it in his mind before I finally left. A coup
