[Evelyn’s POV]“DON’T FUCKING TOUCH ME!!!”The entire house had fallen silent. Everyone in the general vicinity stopped what they were doing and turned to gawk at the ridiculous sight of me flailing to get out of Oliver’s hold.I struggled and exerted myself to the point where my arms were beginning
[Third-Person’s POV]For the first time, maybe ever, Alexander was at a loss for words.When he, and everyone else, watched Evelyn leave the main hall, he stood up from his wheelchair and in a full-blown panic. His eyes were blinking frantically as his mind tried to process the scene that had just u
[Third-Person’s POV]This is utter madness. Alexander had been quick to realize that he may have severely underestimated Evelyn’s ability to hold a grudge. It had been days since he had last spoken to her, much less seen her.Ever since their falling out, Evelyn remained locked away in her rooms. S
[Evelyn’s POV]This wasn’t how I expected my night to go. All I wanted was to ease the uncomfortable scratchiness in my throat with a cup of tea and return back to my silent sanctuary.The last several days had been some of the hardest to ever endure in my life. I’d become so used to being around pe
“I shouldn’t have done that. I was so wrapped up in having to deal with Michael, that I neglected everything else around me. Believe me, my concern for your well-being in all of this was at the forefront of my mind when it came to him.”“And yet, you were the one that tore me to shreds,” I said quie
[Third-Person’s POV]All the air seemed to have gone still in the room. Alexander felt his heart hammering in his chest. His entire future seemed like it was on the very edge of falling apart.All he could do was hope as he waited for Evelyn to give him some sort of an answer. He wanted her to say ‘
[Third Person’s POV]Alexander couldn’t believe the news when he’d heard about Evelyn being out of her room. He’d initially hoped to see her in the dining room for breakfast but was disappointed to see her spot at the table once again empty. However, his displeasure was short-lived when he overhea
[Evelyn’s POV]Needless to say, I was not prepared for the look on Alexander’s face when I finally turned my head to glance at him. The guy was utterly elated. He looked like every young child on Christmas morning. Wonder-struck and completely captivated.“Are you saying that you’re willing to give
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
