Evelyn's POVI watched his face morphed into surprise as his eyes searched mine for answers. “I have agreed to move into your villa, but you also have to meet your end of the bargain. With that said, I think you should give Jupiter Pack a fair chance,” I said, crossing my hands over my chest while he stood up slowly from the seat.His hand went into his pocket and he pulled out his phone. “Contact the Jupiter Pack for them to bring the relevant project materials for review immediately,” he said briefly before ending the call while I stared at him in silence and soon a smile crept its way to my lips.He put the phone back in his pocket before turning to look at me again. I managed to hide the smile as I reached for my bag on the couch before turning to leave. His voice came the moment I reached for the doorknob.“Don't forget to move tonight,” he demanded, but I rolled my eyes at him, fortunately he didn't see me as my back faced him. I opened the door without saying a word and walked
Evelyn's POVI could barely believe it. My eyes widened in utter surprise as I stared at the person who just entered the room. Was it a nightmare or a hallucination? She was actually here, dressed in professional attire. A plain knee-length pencil skirt that stopped below her knee and long sleeve blazer, paired with flat black shoes.Her dressing screamed professional, but I knew better than to believe it. Why was she here? When did she apply for the job?My head was filled with unanswered questions as I observed the smile on her face grew the moment she noticed me; I couldn't help but scoff.“It's nice to meet all of you. I didn't know I'd get this warm welcome,” she said, shaking the hands of my colleagues while having an innocent and warm smile on her face. She had on a warm, innocent and composed aura. She could fool anyone, but she couldn't fool me.“Oh please, we were thrilled to have you here. If there's anything at all that you've need, or perhaps having issues settling in, yo
Evelyn's POv"You can't threaten me with such baseless accusations. You claim you saw me but there's no proof to back that up," she said with her chin high but I could see it in her eyes that she was struggling to keep her composure. I knew just one more push and she might collapse to her knees, begging me to keep his wife from finding out.I gave her a toothy-smile that made her eyes dilate as she looked around wry. "I have his wife's number, perhaps you both can find evidence to support my claim but I doubt that she would care about proof," I said, tucking my hair behind my ear while giving her a bored look."I... I didn't mean it like that," she rushed out, looking around nervously."I think I understand what you mean," I drawled.Tension hung thick in the air and everyone stayed mute."This must all be a misunderstanding. I’m more than willing to let Evelyn have the prime-time anchor position." Veronica's voice broke the long silence as she stepped in.I pressed my lips into a thi
Seth's POVI stared at her in shock, unable to comprehend why she was suddenly asking about the Alpha King. Did Evelyn say something to her about it?"Why are you asking, my love?" I treaded carefully as I reached for her hand and placed a soft kiss on her palm, pulling her even closer. She was soft and delicate, too innocent for this world.I couldn't imagine a life without her. She was the reason I was ready to push through another limit, yet her question just now filled my thoughts, making it harder for me to see past the fear."Just answer the question, Seth," she demanded and I froze. The tone of her voice... It always sounded like that when she was displeased and now that she was pregnant, her mood was unpredictable.I kissed her forehead before clearing my throat. The corners of my lips raised as a smug look appeared on my face. My shoulders raised up as I nodded at her but her gaze remained fixed on me in anticipation."Darling, of course I know him. He was my professor and I
Evelyn's POV.My world tilted on its axis as Veronica's words sliced through the air. "You're the imposter," Veronica spat, her eyes blazing with malice. "I'm Seth's real wife."My jaw dropped, my mind reeling in stunned silence. The room seemed to spin around me."How dare you!" My voice trembled, outrage and shock wrestling for dominance. "I'm Seth's wife, not you!"Veronica's smirk twisted her face. "You're the one pretending," she sneered.My eyes flashed with anger. "Stop lying!" I demanded. "For once, tell the truth." She definitely overstepped this time and I knew she was going to act all hurt and claim to be the victim. She always had her way with people but this time, I refused to let her take the spot. I came here with a plan and I would accomplish no matter what happened.Veronica's expression didn't waver, fueling my indignation. She bit her lower lips trying to feign innocence. "You started again."I wanted to declare that I had proof but it quickly occured to me that we
Dylan's POV.I observed the scene unfold; my expression neutral. Internally, I seethed with anger. I had investigated Evelyn, uncovering the truth about Seth and Veronica's deception.My initial urge to intervene had been strong. I wanted to defend Evelyn, expose the truth. But I hesitated.I recalled my own painful past, and the fact that I'd have to admit it that she was Seth's wife. I knew the value of discretion.As I watched Evelyn handle the situation with poise, my admiration grew. She didn't need my help. My eyes narrowed, focusing on Seth's smug expression on the video call and my disgust deepened.How could Seth deceive Evelyn so callously? Veronica's manipulation was equally repulsive. My gaze returned to Evelyn, who remained calm. I decided to keep my distance, observing silently.My jaw clenched, my mind reeling. I had to admit it – Evelyn was Seth's wife. The thought infuriated me, but the black card changed everything. That card signified unimaginable wealth and influen
Evelyn's POV I stood poised, a radiant smile illuminating my face, as the aristocrats encircled me, their admiring gazes and enthusiastic voices weaving a flattering tapestry around me.“Extraordinary debut, Evelyn!” Lord Harrington exclaimed. “Your swing is smoother than most seasoned golfers!”Lady Victoria chimed in, “I've never seen anyone master the greens so effortlessly, especially on their first outing!”Sir Edward nodded in agreement. “You possess a natural talent, Evelyn. Your focus and technique are impressive.”The group echoed their praise, their words mingling with laughter and applause. My cheeks flushed with pleasure.“You really know how to play golf. Who taught you how to play it so well,” a man who had introduced himself as Kelvin said. I could barely see past the sea of bodies around me. The fascination on their faces as they continued rendering praises. This was not my first time playing golf. I practiced a lot when I was much younger and as the princess of Orio
Evelyn's POV “Wow, you know, I want to be like you. I'm thrilled that we have someone like you on our team,” the voices of my coworkers, mixing with the sound of the bustling street, gave me a headache.Was it the strained smile on their faces as they admired her, or the repeated comments that frustrated me? But the more they praised her on her success of securing a contract, the more I wished we'd be done with dinner soon. We were still in the restaurant and yet to order a meal. Everyone seemed more engrossed in praising her than they were in ordering food. And Veronica looked too excited to care. I scrolled my phone, searching for nothing in particular. I just wanted to pass time while they continued fanning over her. I felt a heated gaze and quickly turned to the source, only to find Veronica looking at me curiously.I gave her a bored expression, causing cheeks to turn red in frustration. “Thank you so much, but you all should order up. Order freely and don't worry because the

The staff seemed to recognize me, and they greeted me with friendly smiles and nods.As I made my way to Dylan's office, my heart began to beat faster with anticipation. I couldn't wait to see him, to feel his warm smile and his gentle touch.

"I also have some wonderful news to share with you, Evelyn," she said, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "The Jupiter Pack has secured the development project for the new territory."I felt a surge of surprise and delight at this news, and Luna Janet's face lit up with a pleased smile. "I must say, I'm convinced that it was your influence that led Dylan to choose the Jupiter Pack in the end," she said, her voice filled with admiration.I felt a blush rise to my cheeks at this compliment, and Luna Janet's eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled. "Please, do thank Dylan on my behalf," she said, her voice warm with gratitude. "And I would be delighted to invite him to dinner at our home. Would you please extend the invitation to him?"I nodded eagerly, feeling a sense of excitement and pleasure at the prospect of Dylan visiting the Jupiter Pack's
Evelyn's POV The station director rushed over, a look of excitement on his face, I felt a sense of confusion wash over me. What was he going to say? And he introduced Luna Janet to everyone.“Ladies and gentlemen,” the station director began, his voice booming across the room. “I would like to introduce you to Luna Janet, the Luna of the Jupiter Pack.”The crowd exchanged confused looks, their eyes darting back and forth between Luna Janet, Veronica, and me. I could almost see the wheels turning in their minds as they tried to figure out the relationship between the three of us.But before anyone could ask any questions, Luna Janet stepped forward, a commanding presence that seemed to fill the entire room. Her eyes flashed with a fierce inner light as she began to speak.“I am Evelyn's mother-in-law,” she announced, her voice clear and authoritative. “And Veronica here is a mistress who has been interfering in Evelyn's marriage.”The room seemed to erupt into chaos as Luna Janet's wo
Evelyn's POV My feet moved faster as I stepped into the TV station, I was immediately enveloped in a flurry of activity. My colleagues swarmed around me, their faces alight with excitement and curiosity. I could feel their eyes upon me, boring into my skin as they whispered and gossiped among themselves.I wasn't surprised, of course. I had expected something like this to happen. The television and news had been abuzz with the story of the Alpha King's new girlfriend — namely, me. I had been the center of attention for what felt like an eternity, and I knew that my colleagues would be eager to get the scoop on the latest developments.As I made my way through the crowded room, I could hear snippets of conversation drifting through the air. “Did you hear that Alpha Dylan declared her his girlfriend in public?” someone whispered. “I know, I saw it on the news,” another colleague replied. “I wonder what it's like to be the Alpha King's girlfriend,” a third person mused.I felt my face g
Evelyn's POV I wrapped myself in Dylan's arms, I couldn't deny the way my heart skipped a beat whenever he was near. It was as if my very existence was tied to his, my heart beating in tandem with his, my breath catching in my throat whenever he looked at me.I felt like I was drowning in his eyes, like I was being pulled under by a riptide of emotions. I wanted to give in to him, to let him sweep me up in his arms and carry me away on a tide of passion and desire. But I was scared, so scared, of what it would mean.What if I let him in, only to have him break my heart again? The thought sent a shiver down my spine, a cold dread that seeped into my bones. I had been hurt before, hurt so badly that I thought I would never recover. And now, here I was, standing on the precipice of another potential heartbreak.My mind was a jumble of conflicting emotions, my heart torn between the desire to surrender to Dylan's charms and the fear of getting hurt again. I felt like I was trapped in a n
Evelyn's POV A playful glint in my eye, as I teased Dylan about his earlier declaration. “You've already announced to the entire world that I'm your girlfriend,” I said, my voice light and airy. “I'm sure tomorrow's newspapers will be filled with reports about it. 'Alpha King Declares Love for Mysterious Woman' — I can already see the headlines.”I laughed, as I imagined the reaction of my coworkers tomorrow. “This day has been quite eventful, hasn't it?” I said, my eyes sparkling with amusement. “I'm sure I'll have to hear about it at work tomorrow. 'So, Evelyn, how's your new boyfriend, the Alpha King?'”But Dylan remained silent, his eyes fixed on mine with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat. He didn't smile, didn't laugh, didn't even react to my teasing. He just looked at me, his gaze burning with a fierce inner light that seemed to see right through me.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I met his gaze, my heart pounding in my chest. What was he thinking? What was goi
Evelyn's POV The final notes of the music faded away, the hall erupted into a thunderous applause, the sound waves crashing against me like a tidal wave. I felt like I was floating on air, my feet barely touching the ground as Dylan led me to the stage. The spotlight's glare enveloped us, making me feel like a star, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe.“Good evening everyone, I'd like to offer each one of you a lifetime VIP membership in this prestigious restaurant,” he said.Dylan's voice boomed through the microphone, his words echoing off the walls as he declared that every single person present would receive a lifetime VIP membership at the famous Restaurant.

Seth's POVI rushed back to the restaurant, the cool night air whipped through my hair, sending my thoughts into a frenzied whirlwind. Memories of Evelyn flooded my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder if she'd be at the restaurant, celebrating Stella's birthday. The thought of seeing her again, of making things right between us, drove me forward, my feet pounding the pavement in a frantic bid to reach her.Everything that had happened between Evelyn and me - the fights, the misunderstandings, the ultimate betrayal - it had all been because of Veronica's meddling. Her lies, her manipulation, her deceit. I felt a wave of anger wash over me, directed not just at Veronica, but at myself.How could I have been so blind? So stupid? I'd believed Veronica's lies, hook, line, and sinker. I'd cheated on Evelyn, the woman I loved, with her best friend. The shame and guilt threatened to consume me, but I pushed them aside, focusing instead on the anger I felt towards Veronica.As I pushed throug
Seth's POV As I gazed into Veronica's eyes, I saw a fervent intensity that only served to heighten my doubt. Her words, laced with conviction, insisted that the divorce papers were indeed from Evelyn. But I knew better. The trust I had once placed in Veronica now lay in tatters, shattered by the weight of her deception.My mind reeled as I thought back to the diary Veronica had shown me, the one where Evelyn had allegedly written about hating me. I was almost certain now that it was a fabrication, a clever ruse designed to manipulate me. The realization was like a punch to the gut, leaving me breathless and confused. Was this her plan to set us apart? Never did I ever imagine that she'd be capable of something like that. How was I so blind not to see the truth? However, now that I'd finally found out the truth I didn't know how to react and what to think. I was both confused and speechless, wondering if she'd ever been this way. I twisted with fear and pain, worried that I might not
