[ 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
[ Colton ]My heart had been uneasy since I dropped Mia off at her school. I could had stopped her from attending school for a few days but I didn't want her normalcy to be eclipsed by the mayhem of my life. It was the hardest decision for me to leave her on the trust of my guards.She wasn't my blood. The test I had done just after Evanca told me the truth proved it but she's my daughter and I loved her more than anything in the world. She's the center of my happiness along with Chase now.After dropping her at the school, I decided to visit Evangeline whom I didn't meet the last night as her mother told me that she fell asleep. I didn't want to disturb them so we left."Everything will be fine, Col. You're over thinking. Our team has been working on them and I am sure that we'll soon get their tails under our feet."Brandon, who was driving the car, said to me but even his words couldn't comfort me."I don't know, Brand but I have a strong feeling that something is going to happen, s
[ Evangeline ]My heart broke seeing Colton in a devasted state. He looked defeated and lost as he sat across me with his cup of tea, his eyes were staring blankly at the plain wall in front of him. His daughter was taken away. I could feel his pain. I went through the same phase when Chase was abducted.The air in the living room was getting heavier with tension. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to break it."Colton, nothing is going to happen to Mia. Please don't stress yourself or how will you fight them. I know they have an upper hand on us but we can't loose our hopes this easily. We'd find them soon." I tried to divert his mind but all the efforts seemed to go in vein as tears rolled down from his eyes and fell on his lap.He was crying for his daughter and it forced me to reevaluate my perspective about him as a father. Undoubtedly, he proved himself an ideal father figure for Mia who isn't his blood.The truth came like a big shock to me when Colton told me. Evanca is a
[ Colton ]I bit my mouth walls in nervousness. The adrenaline rushing through my blood cells as I watched the screen of my phone, waiting for my prey to come into light and fall into our trap."Don't stress yourself, Col. She knows what she has signed for and she is a brave woman who faced lot worse than this situation. Please calm down." Kate, her best friend who decided to help us, said to me with confidence dripping from her words."But she never came across a psychopath man who knows her, her strength and her weak points. He will use it against her." I shared my fear with her.She craned her face in my direction, a smile was floating on her face."You love her, don't you?" She asked with a raised brow.Her words left me speechless."I don't know. We were never like those couples who felt something for each other but I don't have hard feelings for her that I can assure you." I answered.She said nothing further and again focused on the screen in front of us. My eyes lingered on the
[ Evangeline ]"Hola, mi dulce pequeña esposa."All the courage I built to come here and confront my worst enemy flew in the air as soon as Dominic appeared in front of me with his signature sinister smirk. He looked like devil's incarnation in human body."Let's cut the formalities, Eve. I missed you so much." He marched closer to me. His deep footsteps were piercing through the pin drop silence. His dark eyes resembled the devil's hell.I retreated a few steps back."I am not here for any pleasantries, Dominic Rodriguez. You should rather maintain a distance between us. Just remember, we're under the cameras. Your one wrong move can destroy your life." I tried to sound confident and fearless but in return I heard his laughter resonating in the stilled air.Oh God! Please help me."You broke my heart, princess." He clutched his chest to imitate heartattack,"I never thought that you would turn this bitter. I am really sorry if my actions hurt you but think from my perspective. I have
