[Evelyn’s POV]Honestly, the more I thought about having a second wedding, the more I was really beginning to like the idea.Alexander made a good point about us deserving a real wedding that was actually about us and not just some random match. Given all that’s happened and the real-time we’ve spen
“That certainly would explain his behavior in court,” I retorted.Nina and Wendy lifted their heads with quizzical looks. Meanwhile, Alexander and Oliver rolled their eyes and snorted.“Pretty much. He really wanted to believe that we didn’t have anything viable to use against Michael.”“I will say,
[Third-Person’s POV]Isabella was in a sour mood since the staff had delivered the morning paper along with her typical slew of magazines and gossip columns. Being able to find out what the news fashion trends were along with the hottest celebrity rumors was one of her favorite pastimes.Having the
It still made Isabella’s blood boil with bitter disdain.The only saving grace that helped ease the older woman’s worries was that Evelyn had no physical proof of the incident.But that wasn’t to say that the crafty girl wouldn’t find another way to incriminate her.Isabella couldn’t let that happen
[Third-Person’s POV]Caroline Kingston was livid. No. She was downright humiliated.How on earth could her own son be sentenced to life imprisonment??Hell, she wasn’t even made aware that there had been a trial. Instead, like everyone else, she had found out the basic pedestrian way—by reading abou
But, there again, it was also meant to end a whole lot differently than it had.“Imagine my surprise when I, and the entire courtroom, was shown video evidence of your idiot son screaming at that mechanic to have the brakes taken out of the car,” the King slithered venomously. “There was absolutely
[Evelyn’s POV]A few days had passed since the trial and things weren’t exactly settling back to normal. Once the formal statements had been released from both the King and Alexander, every news outlet in the region was dying to get a personal interview out of either one of them.Alexander made it a
Of course, naturally, I never envisioned marrying a man who possessed ambitions of going against the actual Alpha King.Maybe, I should begin looking into some current political systems when I have a chance. While I finished reading through the bullshit statement, Oliver lightly cleared his throat
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander was more than glad to know that Evelyn’s training had only managed to progress from that point on. Between hearing her own personal recounts of her sessions as well as checking in with either Erik or Thomas, he was satisfied.With one less thing pressing on his mind, A
Instead of helping him up, I actually reached down and snagged one of his ankles and, with all my strength, dragged me across the room. I heard the faint chuckles of Erik and Alexander as they watched this entire scene unfold.I’m sure it looked utterly ridiculous. Thomas was more than twice the siz
[Evelyn’s POV]I glanced at the mat on the floor but didn’t move an inch.I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Alexander, wherever it is that you’re planning, I’m not sure—”“Will you please just trust me?” he prompted.I clenched my jaw and, against my better judgment, moved over to the mat
That same, familiar pair of hands that had a high tendency to hold me close at night, came to wrap around my waist. My head tilted to the side as Alexander gathered most of my hair onto one of my shoulders.It was hard to believe that there was once a time when he and I weren’t like this. The though
[Evelyn’s POV]I really tried not to let the whole matter bother me. I was fairly sure that I wasn’t the only person to exist that wasn’t trainable. Still, I felt horrible knowing that I had wasted Erik and Thomas’ time.Every muscle and joint in my body was aching and for what? I couldn’t even say
“Believe me, although you got a little wobbly at the end there, it’s good to see that you still have that fire in you?”I turned back to glance at him with a questionable look. “Fire?”The two shared a knowing look with each other. “We, uh, heard about what happened with your Stepsister.”“Word alwa
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn had lost count of the number of times her curled fist connected with the hanging punching bag. The first few times were fine, having been shown the proper form. However, after the tenth time, she was really beginning to feel the burn in various parts of her body. Her join
Oliver had specifically expressed the importance of releasing a follow-up statement that could not only save face but rebuke anything the King had to say in regard to Alexander’s character.While Alexander was busy working on his newest press release, I had taken up my time in the greenhouse. I’d su
[Third-Person’s POV]Fiona felt frantic. Her nerves were growing more and more strained and coiled by the second.No. No, surely, Caroline had to be wrong in her assumption that she would be so clumsy and foolish as to leave something so vital behind.That night has been a manic blur from start to e
