[Third-Person’s POV]After hearing Timothy’s story, Alexander believed that Evelyn could have very well been telling the truth. It wasn’t as though he didn’t believe her when she’d told him about how she had seen Fiona near the tent. What he couldn’t wrap his mind around was why Fiona would go out o
“Let’s say...Belladonna?”Fiona went stiff but Alexander watched as her pupils began to dilate. Oh, yes. It was indeed the look of someone who wasn’t entirely innocent.“B-Belladonna?”He had to bite back the grin that was struggling to show itself. It wasn’t often that someone as haughty as her wou
[Third-Person’s POV]The room was silent—so silent one could hear a pin hit the floor.Oliver was mildly stunned that someone like Fiona had so openly admitted to her crime. But Alexander, on the other hand, appeared far too stoic. Then again, when he spoke, his tone was laced with lethal contempt.
[Evelyn’s POV]Where the hell am I?My eyes slowly peeled open as I struggled to decipher my surroundings. The room was far too dark for me to fully comprehend where I was. But there was a familiarness about it that made me believe I’d been in this exact situation once before.Only, this time I felt
He kept telling me to stop moving, but each brush of his hands had me slightly arching back into him. Millions of chills were spreading over my skin.Alexander continued to speak, but I was hearing very little of the conversation at that point. Part of me felt a bit shameful for not being able to pa
[Third-Person’s POV]Against Alexander’s better judgment, he eventually caved in letting Evelyn get out of bed.As much as he preferred for her to keep resting, he knew that it would have been an argument not worth having. Especially, since the two of them were finally gaining the confidence and fee
[Evelyn’s POV]I’d been convinced that ever since I overcame my illness, I had somehow woken into a dream. A blissful, unbelievably sweet dream.There were numerous thoughts that kept spinning around in my head, I didn’t know what to solely focus on. The fact that Fiona was truly the one responsible
[Evelyn’s POV]Some people may find it strange, but I found the open-market to be one of my favorite places to be. Sure, most people saw heading to the market as just another chore. However, when it came to the raw agricultural section, I saw it as a place of endless possibilities.In that instance,
It wasn’t long before I felt a dreadful feeling of someone watching from within the shadows of the room. My heart slammed violently against my rib cage as I dared to glance over my shoulder. I squinted my eyes and saw the frightening sight of someone emerging from the darkness.Isabella.I fought ba
[Evelyn’s POV]I couldn’t fathom how Michael managed to see through Alexander’s plan, much less how he managed to find me here.It felt as though I was being backed further into a corner with nowhere to turn to. It was bad enough that I had to consistently watch out for Isabella, why on earth was I
Having spoken to one of the managers at the junkyard, the two of them were directed to a nearby mechanic shop. At first, neither of them understood the relevance of taking the trip over there. However, the old man was rather insistent on the matter.“Trust me,” he’d said. “The answers you’re looking
[Third-Person’s POV]Unlike her husband, Isabella was well aware of the situation that was unfolding in front of all of them. She didn’t know who this Michael character was, nor did she really care. But ever since Evelyn showed up and began derailing her plans to get rid of Edward, she’d been lookin
[Evelyn’s POV]“Are you sure you’ll be alright by yourself?” Wendy asked for the third time.I tried to put on the most realistic-looking smile I could muster.“I promise, I’ll be fine,” I told her. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll be busy taking care of Edward and chances are that no one will even
Michael tried to hold back a spiteful sneer. Surely, they all knew that he’d be filling in for Alexander for a little while. That being the case, why weren’t they showing the proper consideration for his respected title?Well, it’s obvious that the first thing I’m going to need to do as Alpha is tea
[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was a man who felt like he’d just hit the lottery.The morning he was due to head to Kingston Manor, he did it with the most energy he’d felt in months. Hell, he was practically buzzing with eagerness. He couldn’t wait to step into his role as Alpha.Even if it was only
A gentle smile curved her lips. “I bet she had no belief that the two of you would have made your marriage work out in the end,” she said with a smug tugging at the corner of her mouth.“You can best believe that,” I said with a laugh. “No doubt, she had high hopes that I would end up miserable.”We
[Evelyn’s POV]A toxically venomous feeling seeped through me.Of course...Why hadn’t I considered it sooner? I guess part of me didn’t want to believe that people were capable of such horrible things. I knew it sounded naive but from my own experiences, nothing had ever excelled further than petty
