“One day, you will know the truth about what happened when we were teenagers,” she had said, her eyes locked onto mine through the bars of her cell. “And you will regret all your actions towards me.” The memory hit me like a punch to the gut, and I groaned, leaning back in my chair. She had been ri
Chapter 111: Max’s Point of View The cold air bit at my skin as I hurried out of my office, my mind racing with everything I had just learned. I had to confront Sara. I had to hear it from her own mouth, how she had manipulated me all these years, how she had twisted the truth about that day, and
Chapter 112 : Max’s Point of View I stood outside Eva’s office, my heart pounding in my chest. The cold air still clung to my skin, but it felt insignificant compared to the storm raging inside me. I had just walked away from Sara’s house, my mind reeling with everything I had learned. The lies, t
I could feel my heart breaking with each word she spoke. Her voice was steady, but I could hear the pain beneath it, the years of hurt that she had buried deep inside. And I had been the cause of all of it. “I was blind,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I was so blind, Eva. I couldn’t see wh
Chapter 113: Sara’s Point of View The door slammed shut behind me with a force that echoed through the empty house. My heart was still pounding in my chest, my breath coming in shallow bursts. I had never felt so exposed, so vulnerable. Max had finally seen through me, and now he knew the truth.
Chapter 114: Maximilian’s Point of View The sharp knock on my office door jolted me from my thoughts. I had been staring at the endless financial reports spread across my desk, the red numbers blaring like warning sirens. My temples throbbed, and I could feel the weight of the entire company pres
CHAPTER 115 MAX POINT OF VIEW The air in my office felt heavy, suffocating even. I sat behind my desk, staring blankly at the papers scattered across it. None of them mattered. Not the contracts, not the reports, not the endless list of demands that came with my position. All I could think about
Chapter 116 Eva’s Point of View The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple as I parked my car outside the small café Samuel Graves had chosen for our meeting. The location was inconspicuous, tucked away from the city’s bustling streets a place where secrets cou
"That was different..." "Different how?" I pulled away from her. "Because he apologized? Because he claimed to change?" "Think about this," Sara pleaded. "We grew up with Max. You really believe he'd keep evidence of an affair?" "People change." The anger started building. "He certainly did. Wan
Eva's point of view I pulled out suitcases with shaking hands. The children's voices drifted up from the playroom, innocent, unaware their world was about to change again. "Eva!" Max appeared in the doorway. "Stop. Think about what you're doing!" "I am thinking." I threw clothes into bags. "Thin
Eva's point of view I was cleaning our bedroom closet when I found it, Max's old phone tucked behind some boxes. The one he claimed was lost two ago. My hands trembled as I turned it on, not knowing it would destroy everything I believed in. The messages loaded slowly, each one hitting harder tha
Eva's point of view I found Sara in her apartment, a bottle of wine already open. One look at my face and she pulled me into a tight hug. "Eva," she said softly. "Talk to me." The tears I'd been holding back all day finally broke free. "Everything's falling apart, Sara. My family, my marriage, m
Eva's point of view The next morning after breakfast, I found my children huddled in Leo's room. Leo sat rigid on his bed, Sam clutched his dinosaur toy like a shield, James stared out the window, and Mia twisted her blue dress in nervous fingers. "Can we talk?" I asked softly, sitting on Leo's b
Max paced his study, his heavy footsteps echoing in the empty room. His head throbbed, the pain pressing against his skull like a vise. He pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling sharply. The house was too quiet. Not the peaceful kind of quiet, but the heavy, suffocating kind that filled the air wi
The room was dimly lit, the scent of aged whiskey and cigar smoke lingering in the air. Heavy curtains blocked out the outside world, making the space feel like a cocoon of secrets and whispered conspiracies. Martha leaned back in the leather armchair, crossing her legs elegantly as she swirled the
Max’s Point of View It was the first time in weeks that we had something close to peace. Eva actually smiled, really smiled, as the kids worked on their fort, a chaotic masterpiece of pillows, sheets, and blankets piled high in the living room. It was the kind of moment I had been desperate for, t
Chapter 254 Sara’s Point of View I spread the financial documents across my desk, my gut twisting with unease. Something wasn’t right. Something about Martha Taylor’s spending habits gnawed at me, like an itch just beneath the surface of my skin. "Look at this," I said, pushing the credit card st
