Evelyn

The more you know, the harder it is to forget. It's better when alcohol scrapes away a few pieces of something tragic happening to you. If you can't remember, then you can't think about it and feel terrible.

"Oh my God! Why didn't you tell me?" Yasmine asks softly.

"I was dealing with it over the weekend. I needed space and time." I wanted to talk to Ivan today but it seems like it'd be now.

"Are you okay?" My assistant asks the question on the tip of my tongue.

"I'm fine. Evelyn stepped in at the right moment and saved me. The guy wasn't able to hold my dick so that's a relief." My fingers tighten over the glass paperweight.

"Nothing about the incident was okay. I hate that you went through something like that. I hate myself for arriving late at the scene. It's my fault. I was supposed to be there for you like you are for me." Both of my friends glare at me.

"It's not your fault. You stopped it before it could've gotten worse, Evelyn." His s

    #Chapter 19 WarrenArcher Enterprises took years of hard work and persistence to make it a big name in the world of architecture. Where there are millions of companies in the race, it's difficult to stand out and attract potential buyers, investors, and clients. Being an architect isn't an easy job from any angle. There are lots of sleepless nights, hours of brainstorming to come up with creative and possible ideas, hiring the right crew, selecting the right interior designer, and supervising the materials that lay the foundation of the artwork you're working to turn from paper to reality. In a world full of competition, winning is all that matters and so far I've been at the top of the game. Superior to the other contestants who are just as hungry for the position as me. Putting away my empty mug of coffee I decide to get some work done. But the decision crumbles to nothing when my best friend barges inside throwing the 'knocking mannerism' out my eight hundred and

    #Chapter 20 WarrenWhen the car stops my heart thuds with anxiety and my lungs pack with so much air that breathing is not even an option. I'm way too nervous to go inside, let alone have a chat with Evelyn. As adamant as a person on a mission, Evelyn Melgren is a determined one and I'm well aware of that quirk. One of the many things that attracted me to her. Her spark burns differently than the others, or perhaps it's just me who sees her as extraordinary in a world full of ordinary people. "So are we staking out here all day, or are we going inside?" Connor questions as I look out the window at the building of her company. "Just a minute." I mumble as I clench my fingers and pull them into a fist to release some of the tension that's whirring in my body. It's like waves crashing on the shore and I'm certain they can take me away with them if it isn't the anchor plunged in my heart whispering to right the wrong in my life that I regret the most.

    #Chapter 21 WarrenEverything and everyone in the room is silent. Though I'm way busy staring into the blue irises of her eyes that are burning with rage. And it hurts to know that all that rage is directed at me. "Ms. Melgren I'm not going anywhere until you listen to my proposal." We inch toe to toe as she glares at me while I enjoy the features of her face, which appeal to me more than ever. A throat clears beside me and Connor jumps in. "So you're Evelyn. I must say you're more beautiful in person." I arch an eyebrow at him in warning, but he's already done the damage."You've seen me before?" Evelyn turns to him and Connor shoots me a panicked look. He just ruined it."On your website. Bluebird Design. They have your picture on it so that's where I saw you." Like an idiot, he advances his hand in her direction and Evelyn takes it after a second of hesitation."Thank you for saying that. It's nice to meet you Mr..." Connor is eager to fill in the blank.

    #Chapter 22 WarrenUnbuttoning the top two buttons I breathe in air to not die from asphyxiation. "You're a bastard," Connor whispers to me and I only smirk in reply."What were you saying, Evelyn?" For a moment she's trapped in a haze and it takes her a second to break away from it. Now I'm certain I still affect her and the knowledge does something to me."That I'm doing well and don't need you to step in at all." Evelyn has always been too proud to ask for help. Even back in the day, it would take a lot for her to ask for assistance in matters she couldn't solve herself. With me things were different. She wouldn't think twice before pestering me. But now she's keen on dodging my every attempt to help her. No wonder time has changed us."Your annual sales say otherwise." That ticks a nerve because she's glowering."I'll survive. Most certainly without you." Yasmine clasps her hand over the table and gives her a look. "If I may ask, what can you offer

    #Chapter 23 EvelynMy mind is a mess of thoughts and feelings that are all intertwined and jumbled together like an unwound string of yarn. As soon as I try to pluck one end and assess it, it unrolls and a flood of hundred other thoughts follow it. My head and heart are in different spaces and I hate that nothing's making sense. Especially when the person who's causing all of this pandemonium is walking right next to me.I hate the serenity that's encircling him and the ease with which he's striding beside me as if he's completely unaware of the effect he has on me. The scent of musky wood wafts off him, suffocating my nostrils and begging me to move closer.I'm sure it's from an expensive bottle of some prominent brand. "Are you going to speak?" Warren asks softly."No. I'm planning on giving a mute tour so you can use your imagination." Not a wise comeback, but it's his cologne's fault. The intoxicating scent has my senses confused."What's in there?" He

    #Chapter 24 EvelynThroughout the meeting, I struck out each one of his demands and he gladly let them slide, and rewrote them as to how I wanted things to be. Not for once, he seemed to oppose any of my suggestions or decisions. Calm as a saint he listened to whatever I had to say and let me take control of the deal and shape it the way I wanted.A part of me is dancing in glee because it's the perfect contract. No other company or businessman would have let me talk let alone have a say in what I wanted. But Warren didn't only let me voice my thoughts, he let me keep more than half of the revenue that we'll make. My mind and heart are at a war as to how I'm supposed to deal with matters now that Warren's doing stuff like this. Yes, I would have survived without him. I've made sufficient money from the last two orders we got. And everyone is in good spirits As much as Warren is a part of my past, I can't let him influence either my present or my future."Evel

    #Chapter 25 EvelynIt's Wednesday today. Two days since Warren strolled into my office—as if he owns it, and coaxed me to sign a contract with him. No matter how much I infuriated him by making changes, his determination didn't sway even once. He got what he came for. I wonder if that's what he's aiming for. If he wants to take control of everything and everyone I have in life just so I will listen to him. Then he's got another thing coming.Since the first evening, he hasn't once attempted to apologize to me for all the crap he put me through and the mess he left my life in. I had expected some kind of redeeming act from him. Even the word 'sorry' will do, but no! His ass is as stubborn as a chief commander. Warren would never ask me forgiveness because in his eyes he was never wrong. It was me, Evelyn Melgren who ruined him and his life whilst he did nothing wrong. For two days I've been thinking about how I'll be able to face him and act like nothing's wrong

    #Chapter 26 EvelynA lump of guilt swims into one of the chambers of my heart and slows down its pounding. The guilt of not telling him about Warren. I've always told everything to Michael except the Chapter titled Warren Archer. I only told him how he was my good friend who broke my heart. I didn't mention love and feelings. And Michael didn't ask. The best way to stop thinking is to distract yourself and that's exactly what I do for the next hour until ten o'clock hits. I read the documents and make a list of points I know I'll object to in the meeting. I know Warren is doing me a huge favor by executing this whole plan of his, but I won't become his puppet. This is my company and I'm the boss of it. It will run on my rules.Yasmine comes to accompany me to the meeting room where two women and a man are sitting dressed to nines. Just one glance at them and I can pinpoint that they indeed work for a successful enterprise. They certainly nailed the first impression.

    #Chapter 153 EvelynWarren puts me on the bed and hovers over me the next second. His nose grazes my jawline and his hands move up and down my waist.I press my legs together feeling the heat in my belly grow."How do you want me to fuck you tonight?"My breathing slows down as he peppers my skin with wet kisses that have my toes curling."Like you always do." I whisper as his hand slips under my warmer and runs over my stomach."Get rid of all these clothes." He grumbles and pulls back.In a haste I remove my warmer and then work on my jeans and shoes. Warren is busy getting rid of his suit. Once we're both in our undergarments we stop and stare at each other.We've had sex so many times yet tonight something is different. It feels like we're finally free from the shackles of the past-at least I am.I feel free. There isn't constant sadness and despair weighing on my chest anymore. I forgave Warren for everything but in reality it feels like I'

    #Chapter 152 WarrenI've hurt her. I can see that. But I can't take my words back. The dark and malicious side of my brain is feeding me these lines. Telling me that whatever we had was just because she wanted to use me. Maybe she did."Wow. You're unbelievable." Evelyn says and puts away her wine-filled glass on the table.Getting up she hurries to leave but I catch her wrist and pull to me. My arm wraps around her and I press her body against mine. My senses go hazy and my heart starts racing at the feel of her body. "That was a shitty thing to say." I admit.Tears fill her eyes and she nods. "It was."I wipe away the tear that falls down her cheek and then caress her face with my thumb. It hasn't been so long but I miss her so damn much.Now that she's standing in front of me all I want to do is touch her, kiss her and love her. I want to hold her so tightly that she can never go away from me. "Tell me why you're here? The naked truth this time.

I don't have a lot to say but I have a few things I want to touch upon before the holidays.It's the last day of work today. And everyone will go home after this meeting.All the important members are seated as everyone waits for Rowan.Just as the clock hits ten AM Rowan walks in and takes the seat at the head of the table. "You may begin." He says to Janice who starts the presentation she and I worked on for the past week.As she rambles on I catch a few glances at Rowan to track his thoughts but he's a blank book. Like a laser his eyes study Janice and the slides in grave concentration. When Janice finishes we review the blueprints that need a final say from him. But before that I have to give my thoughts as the CEO of the company that will bring this vision to life.Taking the pager I stand in front and pull up my presentation. I open my mouth to speak when a string of n

    #Chapter 150 WarrenI hate New York.I've been here for two weeks and I can't fathom how people live here. It's so fucking cold. And the snow keeps on accumulating each day. The famous city is buzzing with Christmas energy. Colorful lights are wrapped around shops, Christmas drinks are a full-show and wreaths and impressively decorative Christmas trees are everywhere. There's so much joy and laughter in the air that I'm sick of it.It's not that I hate Christmas because I don't. For the past years I've gotten used to celebrating this day on my own, and sometimes with Connor. His family invites me over and I attend the exquisite dinner his mom cooks. Gifts are exchanged. It's nice, but not homey. When I return home it's me and my empty penthouse and that kills the spirit. In New York even Connor isn't here and it's boring and depressing.Since I've arrived I've been working a lot. I only go to sleep when my eyes begin to water and exhaustion takes over me.

    #Chapter 149 Evelyn"All the flights are booked. I can't go to New York." Ivan and Yasmine mutter curses at the situation."God. It's like I'm not meant to go there." I complain, hating how everything seems to be stopping me. I opened the website to book a flight and it kept crashing. I spent all day trying to get it to work but it wouldn't work. And the next day when everything was back in order the prices were so high my eyes almost bulged out in shock. With a heavy heart I booked a seat but the page kept having issues. By evening all the empty seats were gone and I couldn't find a single seat."Don't blame the universe." Ivan says in a stern tone."Yeah sure. It seems to help me quite a lot. It's snowing so much I can't even go to the airport to buy a ticket myself." I say in an aggravated tone. "We'll figure it out Evelyn." Yasmine assures me."I don't know. Everything is closed. An airplane is my only chance." I say in a gloomy tone."You shouldn't

    #Chapter 148 EvelynTwo weeks have gone since Warren and I broke up. But it feels like I'm still stuck in that night when he was inside me and told me how much he loves me. I was always a bit in doubt about his real feelings toward me, but that night cleared everything for me. Warren loves me and has loved me since high school. My heart explodes in joy but sorrow filters in the next second. The past weeks have been nothing but dry and boring for me. Nothing interests me.Jessica and I have been splitting work due to the flow of orders. Apparently, Noah and his sister raved about my company at the wedding and now more people have approached me. It's surreal and I feel happy. But that also means there's a lot of work which I'm appreciating. I've become a workaholic. From making designs till late at night to holding long meetings. I keep myself as busy as I can but the ache in my chest refuses to disappear.No amount of work or long drives helps me take my mind

    #Chapter 147 Warren"Do you still have the New York project?" Rowan looks up at me with calculating eyes as he sees me coming into his office. "Yes.""Bring it over for the signature." I unbutton my jacket and sit in the chair across from his desk. Eerie silence fills the room as Rowan stares at me. "You want it or not?" I ask in a gritted tone annoyed that he's wasting my damn time."You broke up with Evelyn." He says astutely and makes me grind my molars."It's none of your fucking business., but what is your business is that New York project."Rowan leans over the desk and criss-crosses his fingers. "Watch that tone with me, Archer."Clenching my jaw I look away from his annoying face and stare at the sunset that adorns the evening sky. Fuck the sunsets. I don't like them anymore.Okay that's a lie. "You wanted me to sign the project for months. Now I'm here.""You're a little too late for my patience. But since you're the best I'll set my p

    #Chapter 146 EvelynOn my way I buy two bottles of cheap wine and arrive at Yasmine's place. She lives with her mom outside the city in a nice big house with a picket fence. Her house looks dreamy and feels like home. I texted Ivan to come. By the time I pull up at her house it's two in the morning, and I'm emotionally tired and physically numb. Yet still I can hear my heart aching in excruciating pain.The lights are on as I make my way to the door. Before I can knock, it opens, and my two best friends look at me and pull me in a hug. I let the tears stream down my face. Miles goes frantic beside me and I try to calm him down, but he's not having it. Sitting on the couch in the living room I pull him on my lap and rub his fur in long slow strokes."Where's your mom?" I ask Yasmine."She's with Aunt Riley for the weekend." I nod and put the bottle on the table.Ivan and Yasmine sit across from me and pour wine into the glasses."So I guess this i

    #Chapter 145 EvelynI swear my lungs stop working, my heart stops beating and my mind goes blank. For a nanosecond my world stops spinning and I do nothing but lie and stare at him.My heart breaks inside my chest and tears cloud my vision."I've loved you for ten years. It's you. It'll always be you. It doesn't matter if another decade goes by, for me it'll always only be you." He says.Tears escape my eyes and reach my ears. The orgasm I was experiencing vanishes."Stop. I can't." I fight my wrists in his hold and he lets go of me and pulls out of me. Quickly I sit up and cover myself with his sheets as he slips on a pair of boxers. Picking up his shirt he hands it to me but I don't take it."We need to talk." There's a finality to his tone. Taking the shirt I wear it and then wipe away my tears. Warren sits at the foot of the bed and looks at me. "What's the matter?"I laugh hard. "The matter is love can't erase the past between us."Warre
