[ Colton ]My happiness had no bounds as I walked out of the hospital. Evangeline trusted me, her biggest tormentor in a very crucial phase of her life.She asked me to come back and meet her. It's really unusual but I could work with that. She was trying to put some trust in me then I'd earn it.I instructed my security team once again to keep an eye on the hospital as well as at the school. Both Chase and Evangeline might be in danger if Dominic planned something else to created more troubles for us. I was about to sit inside my car when someone whom I didn't except to see came into view. It alerted all my senses."Evanca?" I whispered to myself. I couldn't mistake her with someone else. It was her, with a scarf wrapped around her face and black glasses covering most of her face as she hurriedly rushed inside the hospital.Evanca at the same hospital was definitely a bad news. Slamming the car door shut, I quickly followed her. If she was sent by Dominic or she was here at her own t
[ Colton ]"Cat caught your tongue, Mr. Black." She arched her brows in a victorious way which slapped me hard on my face.Karma is a bitch!I came to understand the meaning of this phrase in that moment. The woman I loved like a mad man, crushed my wife's heart, cheated on her back, just to get the biggest betrayal from the same woman.Evanca wasn't to be blamed but I. She was very clear and hideous with her motives but I was blind to notice her cunning nature. I was the fool here."Colton, I know it's very hard for you to digest, I give you the credit that you have been a great husband all these years but I never loved you. How can I love you when your loyalty doesn't stay at one place or in one person. You ditched your wife for me. All I had to do was pull your emotional strings and you came running to me. How naive you were to abandon a devoted wife like Evangeline. You couldn't learn it in your three years marriage. I was sure the moment you signed divorce papers that fooling you
[ Evangeline ]The day had rolled on a very dull pace. I didn't know but I felt a little impatient. Everytime the door opened, my heart started beating faster hoping it would be someone who promised to come back. The long sedimentated feelings were coming on surface with a full force."Hey, where have you been lost?" Kate's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I looked at her. She was giving me a weird look."Sorry, I was just thinking about the ongoing mess." I rubbed my temples and tried to avoid her suspicious eyes."I'd buy it if you want me but my guts are saying otherwise. Anyways, I want to show you something. It's really interesting." She grinned and played a video on her phone. My eyes widened as I watched the unexpected happening. I saw my father beating the pulp out of Dominic who might be trying to trespass into my parents' house."Is it true?" I asked her."Happened an hour ago. I must say that Mr. Parker is still a wrestling champion." She said with amusement."But I don
[ Colton ]Excruciating silence wrapped the air as I waited for Brandon to speak who had been searching something on his laptop with great concern."Why couldn't you ready it before I come here, Brand?" I asked him as I was getting annoyed with passing seconds. I promised Evangeline to revisit the hospital and I couldn't break my promise again."Wait a sec, Col. I can't keep a very confidential file open for anyone to break and find. Relax and give me a sec-" He replied,"Here you go." He turned the screen to me and what I read, it slipped the earth beneath my feet."It's not true! Tell me, Brand!" I yelled and sprang up from my seat. I couldn't decide whether to feel happy or plan my next move. I just hit a jackpot."Well, according to my legal sources it's 100% authentic and if you want, I can ask a government law officer to authenticate it for you." He said with folded hands.A winning smile played on my lips as I imagine my enemies' face when I'd surprise them in the court. They wi
[ Evangeline ]"What is it, Brandon?" I pressed him as he remained silent after increasing my curiosity."Chase is here, I don't think it will be appropriate to talk about serious stuffs in front of him. I got to know that he is a genius boy who catches everything very quickly." He said."Yeah, I agree but your face is telling me that something is off with you and that's the reason why Colton isn't here, am I right?" I tried to scratch his shell."Partially, yes, you're right but he is actually gone to shift Mia to a safe place. Her own mother has become her enemy. I pity the poor child who is totally oblivious to a vile mother. She will be heart broken when she learns about her mother's true nature." Brandon said with a sigh at last.He was right. I too felt bad for the small girl who is very full of life."Then let's wait for my parents. They will be here anytime. I will send Chase with them then we can talk." I suggested."Yeah, that would be better. Colton will also be here by the
[ Evangeline ]The ghostly silence lurking in the air of my father's study room could be felt in the bones. No one dared to break the silence after what Colton told us. It was very hard to believe, specially for my parents whose other daughter was blind in vengeance. She could even destroy them."So, you said that Evanca, Dominic and Francis are together in this?" Dad finally broke the heaviness of the air by asking Colton a very simple question."Yes, Sir. We have a plenty of proofs to solidate our allegations. Dominic and Evanca, who have been lovers for years actually married secretly in a country church. I showed you the marriage certificate, if you want you can ask your own lawyer to test it. I am sure they'll say the same." Colton replied with confidence whreas my head started spinning.All these years, I had been living in a dense web of lies and deception. The more I tried to come out of it, the more it pulled me deeper into it."Oh Evanca, why are you doing all this?" Mom sni
[ Third Person's POV ]"How dare she? How dare she leave with that bastard? I am going to kill him and her little puppy. Yes, I will kill them to teach her a lesson." Dominic screamed like a maniac and threw a vase off the table which shattered with resonating sound."Easy you savage beast. That vase cost me 5 million dollars!" Evanca sneered at him who saw her antique piece lying in a heap of shards."You care for a fucking piece of art than our fucked up lives, Evanca. Colton took my wife with him and her father, just look at my face. He beats a shit out of me." He showed her his face which had many bruises."Come on, Dominic, you got thrashed by an old man. You could have killed him on the spot." Francis, who had been watching the destruction created by Dominic said with disinterest."You're talking of killing my father, Francis. I hope you don't forget your limits. I may hate Evangeline but I don't dislike my parents. They are only blinded by Evangeline's good face act." She glare
[ Evangeline ]I didn't see anyone. After spending a good time with Chase in his room, I slept beside him not realizing how mentally exhausted I was after all the revelations. Next day, I woke up with a mild headache which I thought I had due to the uncomfortable sleeping position.Chase wasn't in the bed. He is an early riser but nowdays, my lifestyle had turned irregular and chaotic.I lazily stretched my arms and made my way to my old room which my Mom arranged for me to stay. Nostalgia hit me as soon as I step inside my room where I spent nineteen years of my life. Mom hadn't changed it much except a new closet and a bigger bed. I stared at my old photographs from my childhood to the day I graduated but one picture caught my attention which brought a flood of memories.My engagement photo with Colton. I remembered the photographer asking us to pose as a romantic couple. He had his hand on the lower of my waist and I had my hand which had his ring on his chest. I was blushing prof
