[Third-Person’s POV]Poor Oliver looked as though he was going to have a heart attack. The moment he’d admitted to what had been uncovered, he realized that he and his boss weren’t the only ones in the room. Standing off to the side, was a rather distraught-looking Evelyn.Oh God, he thought. Had he
Alexander let out a sigh and held a look of serious conflict in his eyes.[Evelyn’s POV]While I was glad I took the opportunity to clear the air with Oliver, I now needed to address the major issues at hand. I was truly enthusiastic and grateful that Alexander was taking all of what we discussed ea
[Evelyn’s POV]“Now, I want you to remember this, alright? Anything that I say and do—none of it is true,” Alexander said to me.He’d taken my hands into his and held me close. I felt the inexplicable heat course through my body as he brushed the pads of his thumbs over my blush-stained cheeks.“All
He curled a brow and kept his stoic resolve in place. “I’m not lifting the travel ban on you,” he said pointedly.I narrowed my eyes and spoke with clear indignation. “I would be literally going from one house to another. Think of it as trading one prison for another,” I hissed.Alexander’s lip curl
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander thought it was going to be sick. It was bad enough he had to witness Michael practically fawning over Evelyn from the side. But he truly thought that he had hurt her just before she’d stormed out of the office.He kept making it a point to tell her that none of what he
[Evelyn’s POV]My Evelyn, I hope that when you are reading this you are safely on your way back to your family’s pack. You needed to know, from me, that I could not be more impressed and proud of the act you were able to display back at my office. You make me realize just how devoted and committed
...I hope that whatever is going on with your brother can be mended. It’s not as though I’m looking for you to rush through things, but it’s important that you know I’ll be thinking of you constantly while you’re gone. ...Needless to say, I’m not happy with the way things ended between us when you
[Evelyn’s POV]Wendy was kind enough to make sure I looked put back together by the time the car pulled up to the house. What I noticed immediately was that, unlike the last time I paid my family a visit, I wasn’t greeted at the door by anyone other than the staff.This time, however, both Leonard a
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
