[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,
“I’m sorry, were you speaking to me?” I asked, dubiously.His grin widened to reveal a perfect set of teeth. He let out a healthy laugh that made my stomach churn with nervous curiosity.“Yes,” he confirmed. “I saw you looking over that hibiscus with such intent. I figured you must be someone who re
[Evelyn’s POV]I gave myself the chance to look around some more but ultimately settled on the hibiscus. When the vendor was kind enough to package that up for me, I gave myself a little more time to roam around the market, wondering if I should bring back anything particular for Alexander.I kind o
I bit the inside of my cheek, worrying that this inconvenient episode was going to make me extremely late heading home. The last thing I wanted was to make everyone worried about my unexpected delayed absence.But it appeared that I really didn’t have a choice.I gestured for Micahel to take a seat
[Third-Person’s POV]I shouldn’t have let her go...Why the hell did I let her go?Michael remained fixed in the exact same spot in which he watched Evelyn head off to the parking lot. Everything about Evelyn was utterly captivating and enthralling to him. He studied her every detail as she walked. F
[Evelyn’s POV]“Are you two really not going to let me help put this party together at all?” I asked, wistfully.I wasn’t entirely sure what I expected when it came to experiencing a birthday party—mainly one that was meant for me.I’d spent the majority of my life being overshadowed by Samantha and
He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. I felt him squeeze my hand. “You know I don’t mean to have you locked up here. It’s just...It’s clear that the poison is still trying to work its way out of your system. And I would prefer if you remained around where it was safe.”So, I didn’t mention the
[Evelyn’s POV]Oh...Well, that certainly sobered me up real quick, emotionally. For a moment, I stared blankly at Alexander and wondered why on earth he would want to listen to what went on in my childhood. There weren’t exactly a lot of good times to speak of.I scolded myself for the mistake of h
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
