Evelyn’s POV

Isabella's expression suddenly faltered, and she stumbled back a few steps, crying, “Why would you curse me like that, Evelyn? What have I done wrong?”

She acted as if I had hit her.

Of course it was all a show for Eric.

He rushed to Isabella’s side and puller her into his arms, “Are you hurt, Isabella? Are you alright?”

Isabella bit her lip. “Evelyn, I know you’re angry with me for marrying your ex-fiance. But I only wanted to make amends, to catch up. Yet you’re still so upset with me. Are you still in love with Alexander, even after marrying Eric?”

Her eyes narrowed, and she added, “Even if you hate me, you shouldn’t do this to Eric—loving another man while agreed to marry to him…”

She glanced at Eric again, lowering her voice. “Don’t be mad, Eric. Evelyn and Alexander had a long history together..”

Eric turned to me, his voice full of accusation. “So, you still love Alexander? He’s the one you called the other day, right? And now you lashed out on Isabella, acting like a crazy woman. What happened wasn’t their fault. It was yours. If you hadn’t gone to prison for your crimes, none of this would have happened.”

My crimes? My fault?

I pushed myself up from the ground, my gaze locking with Eric’s. “Since we’re talking about facts and faults, Eric, tell me this: Do you love me the way you said you did? Did you marry me because you meant it?”

Eric’s expression changed in an instant, and he suddenly roared, “It seems Mrs. Graves has not only lost control of her anger but also lost her mind. Lock her up, Adam. Don’t let her leave until I say so.”

With that, he swept Isabella into his arms like a princess and walked away.

Adam crouched down in front of me. “Now, I think it’s time for a little fun before I lock you up. What do you say?”

I shouted, “Don’t fucking come near me!”

“Relax,” he sneered. “I don’t want your body or anything. I’m just going to make a video of you crawling back to the car. You don’t think I will carry you all the way back, do you?”

I didn’t move.

He leaned in closer, his tone cold. “If you don’t move, I might have to do something you don’t like.”

I bit my lip so hard I tasted blood. Then, with no shred of dignity left, I crawled—like a dog—across the dirt.

Adam laughed, holding his phone high, gleefully recording my humiliating crawl back to the car.

By the time I finally made it into the car, I passed out.

When I woke up, a full day had passed. I was lying on the bed in Eric’s bedroom.

Thankfully, my phone was still in my pocket and hadn’t been taken away. I opened it, and immediately, countless of texts from Isabella flooded in, accompanied by videos and pictures.

The videos showed Eric gently kissing Isabella on the cheek, surprising her with the latest collection of jewelry, or taking her to a fancy French restaurant and dancing with her to a violin solo.

Every moment of it was so unfamiliar. Even during our four years of a fake marriage, Eric had never shown this side of himself to me.

I could see the way Eric looked at Isabella. He couldn’t be more in love with her.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and slowly pulled myself up from the bed.

I went to the study and grabbed the divorce papers I’d prepared the day I learned the truth, along with the picture and flight ticket from the time I went to Mexico, leaving all of them on the nightstand.

Eric will notice them, for sure.

Then, a noise came from the door. Caleb’s men were here.

As they broke in, presumably to take me away from Eric’s house, his message popped up on my phone:

“Are you calmer now? Still talking nonsense? Apologize to Miss Isabella for pushing her, and I might forgive you for what you said the other day. Don’t make me look bad, Evelyn. You know I won’t be happy about it.”

I simply replied, “My only mistake was saving your ass in Mexico when I should’ve just let you die in that gunfight.”

Then, I smashed my phone against the wall and walked out.

The phone continued to vibrate on the floor, but I didn’t once look back.

    Evelyn’s POVAfter Caleb got me out of Eric’s house, I didn’t look back. I boarded a plane headed far away from everything.My old friends from med school were now working with Doctors Without Borders in Africa, living the life we used to dream about between lectures and sleepless study nights. Soon, I’d be one of them. It had always been my dream—to help, to heal, to matter.When the plane landed and I stepped onto the scorching tarmac, the tears came before I could stop them.It had been so long. Too long.One look at my friends—and I remembered who I used to be. Before the prison. Before the marriage.

    Evelyn’s POVHis eyes sparkled with something like hope—or maybe madness—as he stepped toward me, arms reaching like he meant to hold me.“You have no idea how much I missed you,” Eric said softly. “They told me you were gone. That you’d died. That there wasn’t even a body to bury.”When I didn’t respond right away, he fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a worn photograph. It trembled slightly in his hand. “Look,” he whispered, holding it up between us like it meant something. “Us. Back then. We were happy. Don’t you miss me, Evelyn?”I stared at him—at this man who once destroyed everything I was—and I couldn’t believe the audacity. The sheer nerve of standing here like nothing had happened.“Miss you?” I let out a quiet, bitter laugh. “Just drop it, Eric. You and I were never in love. Our entire marriage was built on lies and convenience. A contract, not a connection.”His shoulders sagged. “Please don’t say that…”“I mean every word.” I folded my arms tightly across my chest. “You’

He had appeared in my life when I was at my lowest to save and love me.Until I overheard him speaking with his assistant.“The whole reason I married Evelyn was to keep her under control—so she wouldn’t have the chance to interfere with Isabella’s perfect marriage.”In that moment, I realized our marriage was never built on love. It was a carefully crafted lie… all for another woman.The laughter in the room didn’t fade; it only grew louder, more mocking, more suffocating.Adam’s voice rang out, like praising, “Hadn’t I picked the two perfect scums then, Boss? Even Evelyn killed one of them, the other still kept his mouth shut”Eric scoffed, the sound low. “Anyway I was planning to send Evelyn onto one of my regular shipment trip. The police are onto us.

Bring her some lemonade.”The maid nodded, hurriedly leaving the room. She returned shortly with a tray and extended it toward my way.And then, in an instant, Eric pulled out his gun and shot her in the head.The sound was deafening, followed by the sickening splatter of blood and brains across my face. The maid’s lifeless hand still reached out to me, the lemonade mixing with the blood that now stained my skin.I couldn’t hold back my disgust. I wanted to vomit, to run, to scream.Eric didn’t flinch. He wiped his gun clean with his sleeve and looked at me, as if nothing had happened. “She failed at her job, babe.
