Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 120
Sunnyville Cinemas was buzzing with activity, yet Evangeline stood out like a sore thumb. Clad in a simple gray dress, her face free of makeup, she waited impatiently at the entrance for her bestie, Roslyn.She kept checking her watch, and with each passing minute, her irritation grew. They were supposed to meet at 10 p.m., yet there was no sign of Roslyn even almost 30 minutes later.Without hesitation, Evangeline whipped out her phone and called Roslyn."Forget 'fashionably late,' you're just late! I've been standing out here forever freezing my butt off," she complained. "I could've watched paint dry by now!"The crowd ebbed and flowed inside the cinema, and there she was, feeling like a total dork, her face hidden behind a mask and a cap, bracing against the chilly breeze."Aw, Evie, don't be mad!" came Roslyn's sweet, apologetic voice over the phone. "I got caught up with my makeup... Oops, my bad! But look, I'm literally seconds away!"Something in Roslyn's tone did not sit

"Evie, you're acting super weird today. Are you keeping secrets from me?" Roslyn's gaze sharpened, silently waiting for Evangeline to tell the truth."Since when have I ever kept anything from you? And with the bond we share, why would I start now?" Evangeline, clueless about what was really going on, remained defiant.Roslyn was not in a rush to call her out, though. She casually flicked the movie tickets in her hand, deftly switching topics. "The movie starts in ten minutes. Let's get to the ticket check!"At that, Evangeline let out a huge sigh of relief.As long as Roslyn was not grilling her with that intense stare, she was content!While getting their tickets checked, Evangeline could not help but notice Roslyn's outfit was extra flashy today, and her makeup was on point, like she was ready for her close-up.If they were just here for a midnight flick to ogle some eye candy, Roslyn would not need to get all dolled up…"Roslyn, is there something special about this screenin

The thought jolted Evangeline, and she shook her head as if to clear it from a shock.She must have been losing it, seeing Walter's face in every crowd.Roslyn had already caught the troubled look on Evangeline's face, however.With the movie's soundtrack humming in the background, Roslyn playfully scolded, "Spill it, who did you dash off with at the Whiskey Barrel Pub that night? Leaving me by myself in the club, you almost killed me with worry!"Evangeline felt her irritation flare up at the memory. "What about you? I left, and you did not even bother to look for me?"If Roslyn had just looked for her that night, Evangeline was sure she could have avoided Walter's clutches and the injuries that followed."I..." Roslyn's lips turned down in a pout, a hint of hurt in her voice, "I had too much to drink that night. When the lights went out, I just crashed. My agent had to drag me out! I called you the moment I woke up, and your assistant told me you were together, so I stopped wor

"That's the one!""You were going to introduce me, remember? Roslyn, my savior, could you maybe..."The way he drew out the end of his sentence was tinged with urgency, but it was clear he was downright thirsty for talent.Roslyn had watched Matthew fret over finding a decent lyricist for years and figured it was time to lend a hand. So, she decided to set up an intro during a casual movie outing.Seeing his eagerness, Roslyn did not beat around the bush. "I was planning to introduce you guys anyway. Getting her to write for you, however, is not going to be a walk in the park."Let me lay it out straight: I will make the intro, and the rest is on you. Whether you can convince her to pen some lyrics, that is your gig.""I get it. If the work is good, she can name her price!"Matthew was not shy about pouring money into his music, especially when it came to a lyricist with serious chops.Alas…Roslyn waggled her finger in front of him. "My friend is the darling of the Foster fam
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 124
Evangeline was aware that her notoriety had spiked after her split with Walter, thanks to Julia, the deceptive charmer. It was absurd, however, to think that a quick restroom break would turn her into the talk of the town.Roslyn let out a sly chuckle. "Before we dive into that, Evie, let me introduce you to a friend."Of course, she was not just doing this for Matthew's sake—she was really trying to stall for time.With Evangeline looking on in surprise, Roslyn tugged Matthew to the front."Meet my friend Matthew Chale. He's got killer vocals and is a singer!" Roslyn beamed."Hi there, Ms. Evangeline," Matthew said, offering his hand confidently."Hello, Mr. Chale," Evangeline responded, shaking his hand with a polite nod before quickly letting go.Evangeline was more preoccupied with the sudden change in the room's mood than with this Matthew who had popped up out of nowhere.Unbeknownst to her, someone in the corner had snapped a perfect shot of her handshake with Matthew.

Evangeline did not make her move until the woman in question rose from her seat again. She trailed behind, stepping out into the corridor.The hallway outside the cinema was bathed in dim light, and Evangeline's face was a picture of discomfort. Words failed her.She and Matthew had plenty to chat about, sure, but they had only just met. His over-the-top enthusiasm was overwhelming, leaving Evangeline struggling to keep up.With Roslyn watching, she could not just brush him off without causing a scene. Thus, she put on a brave face and muddled through. Eventually, with no other options, she ducked out for another escape to the restroom.The sight of the restroom sign was like a beacon of hope. Relief washed over her.Roslyn, of all people, knew how much Evangeline detested these social dances. She would probably use the chance to fill Matthew in.So, Evangeline took her time. Just as she stepped into the stall, before the door could even click shut, a sudden force pushed her insi
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 126
What Walter did not realize was that his words cut through Evangeline like a blade, piercing her heart.She had fooled herself into thinking Walter was just jealous because he saw her chatting with Matthew. She even dared to hope, maybe because they had been close before, that she still meant something to him.What was the truth, though?It was all in her head. Walter's behavior was driven only by his fear of being betrayed!A wave of anger washed over her, and with a strength she did not know she had, Evangeline wrenched his hand away from her chin. "Don't act like I've been unfaithful. Even if I had been, what could you possibly do to me? Walter, remember this: Once the divorce cooling-off period is over, we're nothing to each other!"She wished she could just grab the divorce papers and slam them into Walter's face, telling him to get lost for good."Oh really? Evangeline, you're still putting up a fight when I've got the upper hand? Should I commend your courage, or should I
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 127
It was the midnight showing, so the restroom was practically a ghost town. Roslyn checked stall after stall—nothing but echoes.What Roslyn did not know was that Evangeline was trapped, just one stall over, her heart pounding in her chest. She had heard Roslyn's calls but before she could yell back. Walter's hand was clamped over her mouth, silencing her desperate cries.Evangeline fought like a wildcat, but Walter's grip was unbreakable, his hands like iron against her lips.The stall was too big and Walter had her pinned down, leaving her with only one leg free, desperately trying to kick the door to make some noise, to signal Roslyn. It was not enough, however.She was about to lose hope when Roslyn's voice grew nearer. 'Please, just a few more steps,' Evangeline prayed silently, 'you're so close to finding me..."Then, Walter's chilling whisper slithered into her ear, a dark promise that sent shivers down her spine. "Do you really think Roslyn showing up is going to save you?
