Warren

In the next two minutes, I summarize Evelyn and me in a paragraph, omitting the details but keeping the essence so he understands why I can't travel for long.

I watch with interest to see if Rowan is amused at my misery But he isn't. If anything his face radiates empathy and I wonder if he has a woman in his life too. After all, he's twenty-nine and has wealth and power sufficient to land in Forbes magazine.

"I've always wondered what laid under the glacier armor you wear. And now I realize there is a heart." Rowan gracefully takes a bite of the steak and then points his fork toward me. "You know money is nothing when you don't have someone to spend it on or with. Take it from someone like me. I have a billion sitting in my bank account but that's all it does. It just sits there. Alone." Rowan takes another bite while I can't even seem to touch my steak.

"You're like me," I smirk behind my wine glass.

"I am. But there are reasons why I am the way I

    #Chapter 40 Warren"Evelyn..." I start but she cuts me off like every other time I've tried to start this one specific conversation. It's as if she knows what I'm about to say, and fights with everything inside her to not hear it. I don't blame her for protecting herself. Last time things got beyond messy. They got to the point of breaking each other's hearts and tainting souls in a way they'd be marked forever with the damage. And it was all my doing; all my fault. A burden of a thousand pounds that I carry with me every day. "Warren, I'm not going with you." Her facial expressions contort into mild fierceness."I thought you'd like to go. It's a charity event for orphans." Evelyn stares at me with a softness that I'm glad to witness.Compassion has always been her biggest strength. One that makes me fall in love with her even more. "Orphans?" Her sweet voice is thick with empathy."Yes." I nod and amble into the room, wanting to drench in the light she spr

    #Chapter 41 Evelyn"He did what?" Ivan nearly erupts in a roar."Oh my God!" Yasmine joins, completely giddy with excitement as a big smile takes over her face.Ivan quickly shoots her a murderous glare and then looks at me with the same intensity."What did you say?" He asks in a grave tone."I agreed. The function is for orphans. I couldn't refuse. You know I love children." For a second I assumed my reply would make Ivan relax in understanding, but he sighs as if a whole planet was now resting on his shoulders. "He's manipulating you into spending time with him. So he can win you over and then hurt you later." Yasmine speaks before I can. "For fuck's sake. Now you sound like an old cranky granny who's had more heartbreaks than my vinyl collection.""Your vinyl collection consists of Harry Styles and he's had only three albums.""Three extraordinary pieces of art Ivan. They're perfect. Especially Harry's House." "Fine, Matilda was good." Ivan finis

    #Chapter 42 EvelynFingers snap in front of my face and clear the fog of my thoughts. "Boss, you okay?" Yasmine asks in a troubled tone."Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking about some things." I give her a smile. Luckily the conversation moves in another direction. We talk about Yasmine's dates and hear Ivan's opinion on every guy. She flushes in embarrassment as Ivan and I both pick out every little fault in the men she's dated so far. After lunch, Yasmine and I go shopping to find a dress reasonable enough to be worn at a lavish charity event. Knowing Warren, I know it'll be prestigious and opulent in every sense. And I don't want to look any less than (perfect which doesn't exist) beautiful.My mind rewinds the last six months and I can't pinpoint one moment when I dressed up for myself. Between managing my company and personal life, I barely find time for anything else. Also, the stress of the low sales has been keeping me awake for quite some nights. So this eve

    #Chapter 43 Evelyn"I want to buy it." A huge smile climbs on her lips and she nods.Going back into the room I change and then hand the dress to the woman who packs it in a big white box."Can you tie a ribbon on it?" Yasmine adds and I elbow her.Brenda's laugh fills the room like a fresh breath of air as she complies to my assistant's request.Ivan and Yasmine are surely siblings in some universe. Because I'm pretty sure he'd have done the same thing."Don't glare at me. A box without ribbon is like a dress without glitter." I roll my eyes."That made no sense at all. I literally bought a dress without glitter." I hide my yawn behind my hand."You're right. That was stupid.""Just like that resignation joke. Don't think I've forgotten about it." Yasmine smiles tightly. "I wouldn't leave your side boss. I hope you know that." "I know. You are the best assistant any boss could ever ask for." It's true. Yasmine's work ethic is incredibly strong. She h

    #Chapter 44 Evelyn"I assume you got my present." I freeze. "What present?" I ask in an alarmed tone. My heart starts to race as hundreds of scenarios juggle in my mind. "You know, the car you mentioned," Michael states in a serious voice through the phone. Not a hint of amusement drips from his words. And that terrifies me.Gulping a few pulls of water I sit down and look at Miles who cuddles on the couch beside me."You better be joking Michael." I rub my temple. "I'm not. It should be there in...3...2...1." Just as he finishes talking, someone raps on my door, and my nerves tense in distress. Excitement also wraps its arms around me."I'm gonna kill you!" Taking long steps, I hurry to the door and yank it open. A stout man dressed in a uniform greets me with a nice smile and asks me to sign papers for car keys."I'm sorry but I'm not signing these papers." "Mr. Melgren said he'll fire me if you don't." My mouth opens in shock and I hold up a finger

    #Chapter 45 EvelynI swipe my hand down the front of my dress one last time to get rid of any wrinkles. I vaguely adjust the thin shoulder straps holding the dress on my body. The neckline exposes my bony collarbone and dips a few centimeters further into my cleavage. My eyes drift to the sides of my figure, studying as the silky material hugs my curves, accentuating them from my hips down. Sweeping one last glance at my makeup I spritz some perfume and then pack my black hand purse for the evening ahead. Just as I slip on my heels, my phone buzzes with a notification.Warren: I'm leaving my office to pick you up. After a fierce battle with my feelings, I gave Warren my number. But only because the occasion called for it. Grasping my car keys I amble to the door. Miles curled up on my bed a few minutes ago. I bet he'll be staying there till I come back. I drive in my Ashton Martin to my office while trembling in a bundle of nerves. I don't know why

    #Chapter 46 EvelynClearing my throat I inch closer to him and then look at him. The black of his eyes looks breathtaking as the lights from the outside flicker through it. "A little more," Warren whispers as if it's only us in the car. With a sigh, I give in and move closer but still keep my distance."More Evelyn." My stomach burns, a pool of lava bubbling up inside of it. "You want me to sit on your lap?" I mock him.Warren's jaw clenches and relaxes as he says, "I don't want to die yet." "Glad you know my intentions." The millionaire stays quiet and leans back in his seat, his hand straddling his thigh. Somehow the sight of it further warms the walls of my insides. "I've been wondering. What happened to your mom?" Warren asks carefully. "I'm sure you already know." I look ahead. Feeling uncomfortable starting this conversation with him out of all the people in the world."I don't."I search his face for lies. "So you never hired a PI

    #Chapter 47 EvelynI'm not used to publicity. It's part of the reason why Michael and I don't meet much. When we do, we spend most of our time at my condo. He's confined in his penthouse as well and he has to do the same when he comes here to save me the trouble of dealing with the paparazzi. Michael and I both are introverts, despite the fact we are both in such a line of work where we have to be really confident and social. Which we are, but only to a certain extent. Tristan pulls up near the curb and looks at Warren through the mirror. "Sir," his tone solemn like a soldier."Thank you, Tristan." Warren opens the door and slides out of the car. He unbuttons his jacket and adjusts his cufflink with his fingers. When he looks at me he arches an eyebrow."Do I look okay?" I must have been staring because he smirks when he asks me."You look more than okay." "I know." I roll my eyes at his arrogance. Warren extends his hand toward me, offering for me to ta

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

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
