It had been inevitable. She should have realised that the first day she had come to the door to collect her car. Her love for Roman had refused to be hidden any longer the moment he had opened the door.
It was her feelings of guilt and shame she had to battle with. She had put herself right back into the situation she had tried so hard to put behind her as if despite everything just because she couldn’t resist him.
“Good morning, Evelyn.”
His warm breath tickled her ear as Roman pulled her closer against him. And she decided at that moment to leave her shame and guilt for another time. She had craved his touch f

Roman watched Evelyn look at the screen for the millionth time before she tried to call her parents again.“They’re still not answering,” she said.“They’re probably inundated with calls. They probably just switched them off,” he assured her as he took a cup of coffee to her.“But if people are calling them that means it won’t be long until those reporters find them,” she said.Evelyn was biting her fingers as she looked back at the screen. He had done this to her.“I’m getting reports every half hour. So far everything is quiet there. But you’re right, it won’t take long fo

“Evelyn, what are you doing? Why has this man who has been sitting in his car outside my house come in and said he’s with the security team?”The disappointment in her mother’s voice cut her deeply. And she had called her by her full name.Eve sat heavily on a chair at the kitchen table and looked down in shame. Her sex life had caused this. Her inability to say no to Roman. She would never be able to lift her head high again.“I’m sorry mum. Someone at work recognised me and... I didn’t think it would get that far. I thought I could just hide here and the reporters would go away.”“Well, because of that I had to cancel my shift last night and you know we c

Roman unlocked the door and then opened it for Evelyn to walk in first. She hesitated on the threshold. He could see it written all over her face how much she didn’t want to be here. This was the same place she had left in the middle of the night after spending a whole weekend hiding away from him in fear.He should have thought of that. Maybe this place held more bad memories than good. They could drive to his apartment instead if she really wanted to.“Do you want to go to my apartment in the city?”It would be too noisy and busy, and they wouldn’t be able to go outside. But if she wanted to he would have to do it. It would just add a few more extra steps to the plan, the one he had already almost obliterated by telling that girl to reveal Eve

Evelyn sat on the sofa with her feet up after dinner scrolling on her phone. The stories of her and Roman leaving their 'love nest' together were already making the rounds. She had only been reading the headlines because she didn't want to know what people were saying about her.The last time Roman's name had been mentioned so much he had been with Vivian Cartwright when they’d worn their matching outfit and everyone thought they made a perfect couple. She didn't want to read any comparisons or be called the homewrecker.But now her fingers were itching to click on the story Pam had sold. They weren't close but she had assumed she could trust her. Why had she sold her out like this? Turning her whole life upside down just for a few quid?Roman walked into t

They needed to talk. To clear the air because clearly he wasn’t over this Brendan shit and Evelyn was still very angry. This was the perfect opportunity to start talking and finally fix things. But damned if he could think now. He had been hard as a rock the moment Evelyn had started kissing him but when she whispered those words his whole body had reacted. Heat rushed through his veins as the anticipation of taking her to the playroom made it hard to think about anything else. Like all his blood flowed from his brain to his dick and nothing else mattered except doing what Evelyn wanted. He didn’t wait for her to tell him again because this was something he had been hoping for, even though he hadn’t im

Roman thought about her words only when he surfaced on Sunday morning. Last night had been intense, even for them. Like she had a lot of anger she needed to work out. He looked down at the woman still asleep in his arms and kissed her forehead. They couldn't put off the conversation any longer, not if she was still thinking of leaving him. He'd done too much and sacrificed a lot, even his integrity, to have her right where she was now. He had to tell her how he felt if he was to have a chance. And he was still terrified at the thought of it. He hadn’t expected to get that angry when she had mentioned Brendan’s name. He knew they hadn’t had any contact at all since she had left London, and t

Eve smoothed out her dress and looked at Roman. He was driving the car that he had tried to give her before she’d left him. His hands gripped the steering wheel firmly and he had designer sunglasses on to protect his eyes from the glare of the sun.He looked like a movie star. Like someone she shouldn't be sitting next to, never mind sleeping in the same bed.She had no idea what to make of the things he had said to her. It seemed like he wanted to be in a proper relationship with her but she didn’t want to just assume things.But how could he say she was the most important person in his life when he had treated her like a prostitute? When he had laughed in her face when she’d told him how she felt? The only thing he had given of himself was sex

Roman accepted the cup of tea that had been poured for him and then looked over at Evelyn. She looked uncomfortable, and frankly, so did he. He’d given his dad plenty of warning so Esther would at least look decent. He should have known better.But he’d had to bring her here despite his reluctance. Evelyn needed to know him, the real him. The good, the bad and the ugly. And there was nothing uglier than his family and all the damage that had caused.Meeting his father was a good starting point. It was a serious step in all relationships so she had to know he was serious. And hopefully, this would also pave the way for them to start having real conversations.Maybe about his abandonment issues and trust issues.

Roman opened the door before the doorbell could ring and ushered Phillip inside quickly. “Did you bring it?” He ignored Phillip’s eye roll as he handed him a bag. “I said to hide it!” he hissed as he hid the bag in his coat, “You made me drive all this way for this,” Phillip said. “It was an emergency,” he said. “And I don’t know why you’re complaining. There’s food here, you were going to find an excuse to come, anyway.” He walked to the stairs quickly. “Everyone’s outside. I will be there as soon as I can.”

Evelyn didn’t say anything after his life-altering confession. He could see the unshed tears in her eyes and her mouth dropped open.But no words.“Say something, Evelyn,” he whispered.The rest of his life depended on this conversation. Had he made the right choice? He’d put his heart on the line again knowing that he would never recover if she left him. But was it enough to just tell her he loved her?“There has been no one else for me since you walked into my building for your interview. No one. I saw your face that night when you saw me with Vivian, I know that’s when I lost your trust,” he said. “But I haven’t kissed anyone, I haven’t hugged anyone, I

Evelyn was falling for it again.She didn’t know why she had extended the invitation to him instead of just coming clean to her parents. Now he was taking the role of devoted boyfriend too far. He’d joined in and fit in so easily because that was what he did. He could charm the socks off anyone.And she knew this so why was she falling for it again?Just because they’d danced for the first time? Because he’d looked so vulnerable as if for a change they were having a real conversation?But he had done the same when he’d made her sign the contract. He was good at pretending to be what she wanted. Good at pulling at her heartstrings and making her forget who he was under all of that.

Did he buy enough presents?Roman looked back at the back seat full of wrapped presents, the ones he couldn’t fit into the boot.Fuck. It was too much. Would they think he was trying to buy their affection?The gate slid open and it was too late to pull away and dump the presents somewhere. He drove up the driveway with his nerves playing havoc with him and stopped the car next to Evelyn’s.He could do this. He could meet the parents and tell Evelyn how he felt. Just say it and let the chips fall where they may.He saw the front door open and realised he had been sitting in the car for a while. When he got out, he saw it was Evelyn who&rsq

Roman sipped his drink and looked around the club. There were a few couples just holding each other and swaying rather than dancing. By the looks on their faces, he doubted they even knew what song was playing, they were lost in each other.It made his chest ache.He turned back to his drink and the woman beside him. At least the music was low enough to allow a conversation.If he could open his fucking mouth.“How have you been?” he asked.“You could have asked me that when I came to your apartment earlier,” Evelyn snorted.“I know. But I think you’v

He’d done the right thing.Maybe for the first time in his life.So why did he feel like shit again? Like she’d stomped on his dead heart again?He’d poured himself another drink the moment she had left but he still had it in his hand fuck knew how long later. It had taken everything in him to let her walk out that door, so now he had nothing left.The sound of the door closing pulled him out of his thoughts. He gulped his whiskey down and set the glass down before Phillip walked into the room. Phillip looked at the empty glass and then at him. He was now like an annoying, nagging aunty more than anything.“I&

When the elevator stopped in the basement, Evelyn felt like a fool for assuming too many things. Maybe because the things she had read in Pam’s article had stuck in her head. Why had she even thought he would try to explain his actions? Or maybe tell more lies to try to get her back?She’d been so confident he would do that that she’d been thrown off track when he hadn’t. And then all the things she had wanted to ask had escaped her mind. Now she still didn’t know if her parents’ house was really a done deal or she would have to move them again.And if she was honest with herself, she was gutted that he hadn’t even tried. She’d expected something that would have at least allowed her some closure.What did he mean by saying he n

Eve stopped the car at the barrier and rolled down the window. There were two intimidating security guards in the guardhouse that made her want to turn back instantly.This was a mistake.“Um, I’m here to see Mr. Ashfield,” she said to them.She saw the look on the man’s face before he said, “Mr. Ashfield doesn’t accept visitors,” and then shut his window.Did they get this all the time? Women trying to see Roman without an invitation? Though she had washed her hands of him, it still hurt to think about him moving on.She could have called or messaged Roman to tell her she had arrived but maybe this was a sign

Roman slammed the phone down and ignored Phillip as he looked through the paperwork in front of him. He knew Phillip would have something to say about his behaviour but he was tired of hearing that shit.“Are you going home tonight?” Phillip asked.“Yes, when I finish all this. I’ll drive myself so you can do whatever you want.”“I can order some food_”“I’m fine, Phillip,” he said firmly.“You’ve just shouted at Penny for no reason,” Phillip pointed out.He’d been shouting at her a lot. He was surprised his PA hadn
