    But what she did in the past is less than what he did just now, so Evan stands up and approaches her, his eyes filled with hatred and rage again rather than regret.

What else could we expect from a greedy girl like you?" He spewed

    When Evan gets to Adrian's residence, Lisa and Adrian are already there to greet him. Adrian gives his brother a hug, and Lisa smiles broadly to greet him. Evan grudgingly smiles, realizing that he had a lot of questions and needed to find answers fast before it was too late. While Evan had long since lost his appetite, he was simply present for his brother at the dinner table, where everyone else was seated. As they all sat down to eat, Evan couldn't help but feel a sense of unease hanging in the air. It was unusual for Lisa to be so silent; she had never been like this before. Lisa was presumably troubled by something, but she was unable to express it. Evan becomes aware of it. Adrian says, "Bro, I heard you are managing Uncle Harold Gray's company." Evan replied, " Yes, Uncle Harold Gray is about to retire, and he wants me to take over his company." "That's great, and then you wouldn't be interested in dad's company, right?" Evan stops "What do you mean? It's dad's comp

Bella was ready to embrace the unknown and create a brighter future for herself and her baby. Jackson looked at her and said, "Bella, think again; you need us right now; we won't let you stay here alone." "Bella, you need special care." Evelyn said, placing a hand on Bella's shoulder. Bella looked at her friends, Bella replied with a smile, "Guys, you both have done so much for me; I am fine now, and I am not alone; my baby is with me. Look, you both are engaged, and you both have to start a new chapter of your lives too. I don't want to be the third wheel between you two. I appreciate everything you both have done for me

    Slap!!!Not once but many times Bella slaps Lisa; today all the anger inside her, which was buried in her heart for 2 years, is coming out on Lisa. With each slap, she feels relief , knowing that this outburst is long overdue. Finally, exhausted from the release of her anger, Bella collapses to the floor, tears streaming down her face as she finally scream, “Why? You gave me this result of my friendship; how can you be so mean? I considered you my best friend, and you turned out to be a part of my destruction."Tears fall from Bella’s eyes, and Lisa silently listens to her bitter words. She does not respond because perhaps that is what she deserves. She knows she has betrayed Bella's trust and friendship.Lisa said, "I know I have made a mistake and I deserve a harsher punishment than this, but believe me, Bella, I have realized how big a sin I have committed. Please, please forgive me."Your apology will never make my life the same again; my baby will never come back," she screams. Li

    "What more can be expected from you, Evan Knight?" she bitterly said. Evan leans towards her and says, “You're mine, and you have to live only with me and work here, Mrs. Knight. Bella looks at him and says, “Correction, I am not Mrs. Knight. Let me remind you that 2 years ago you filed a divorce petition in court, and we were divorced without any problem because you thought I was a whore. Believe me, Mr. Knight, even if I don't get a job, I can still earn money by doing whoring, as you know.” Evan tightens his fists after hearing her words. Evan hits the door hard with his hand. He was angry, and he didn't want to hurt Bella, neither physically nor verbally. Evan had once called Bella by this disgusting name, but today, after hearing this name from Bella’s mouth, Evan realizes how hurt she was, and he feels it.

    After a while, Bella returns with a cup and approaches Evan, placing the cup on his table as Evan is occupied with his laptop. Bella once again stares at Evan's burned hand. Why has he not done anything yet? She feels terrible after seeing his hand, so she goes to his office restroom and returns with the first aid kit. Evan stares at Bella. Bella tenderly holds his hand and applies ointment to it as Evan stares at her. Bella says, "It was my fault, and you were punished." Bella stares at Evan, who is staring at her. Some of Bella’s locks were in front of her face, so Evan gently placed them behind Bella’s ears while they both looked at each other. Evan grins as Bella returns to her senses. "You are my employer, thus I have assisted you; it would be best if no one misinterpreted it because nothing will happen between us again. Mr. Evan Knight." Evan's smile fades, and hurt can be seen in his eyes. Bella gets up and walks out from there. ***************** Evan was enga
