Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 100
Evangeline had no time to react as Walter grabbed her arm, hoisted her, and tossed her onto the bed. The brief contact with Walter's body, cool through their thin clothes, was too much for her already frayed nerves.The relief she felt was like rain after a long drought, so soothing that she could not help but sigh.However, why should she give in to Walter, a man she despised?What she did not realize was that Walter was struggling too. He felt as if he were on fire, his thirst unquenchable.The very person who had ignited that flame was still in bed, whispering sweet nothings, her hands pushing against him relentlessly.He inhaled deeply, fighting the urge to give in to temptation. When he looked at Evangeline, his patience seemed to grow.His hand gently caressed her warm, blushing cheek. "Evangeline, tell me, who's with you in bed right now?"Evangeline, driven by instinct, moved closer to the composed presence before her, her mind too muddled to think clearly."... Walter.
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 101
"Let me show you what a true beast looks like!"Evangeline had drunkenly called out for Alex with such joy, a sound that still echoed in his ears.That was why he was determined to prove to her through his actions that it was always him by her side, the one who passionately claimed her, always him.Evangeline had woken up in a rage, and he realized she was filled with regret.Regret for surrendering to him the night before.He got out of bed and started putting on his clothes that were scattered around, doing so with a calm precision.Walter was undeniably good-looking. Even in crumpled clothes, his charm was untarnished."Evangeline, weren't we supposed to meet at the County Clerk's Office? Make sure you're not late."If Evangeline had never loved him, then he would grant her wish. He would agree to the divorce and let her chase after Alex.With a decisive slam of the door, Walter left without a backward glance.Just pulling up his pants and walking away, Walter was the epit

Evangeline's brow creased in frustration.How could she not be slow? Did Walter not have any idea why she was so?She was about to let out her pent-up anger when Walter cut her off. "Alright, alright, you're here now. Just speed it up, will you? I'm in a hurry."Indeed, Walter was rushing Evangeline.The reason for his rush became apparent soon enough. He was worried that if he waited any longer, and if he let himself think about Alex, the guy Evangeline could not stop thinking about, he would lose his cool. The divorce might fall through.He balled his hands into fists. They had made a deal, and he was determined not to back out.Evangeline had not expected Walter, who had last time fled like a frightened turtle, to be so quick to agree this time around.It worked out for her, less hassle.She walked into the County Clerk's Office before him.Filling out the forms and getting the certificate took 10 minutes.Walter walked away without a backward glance.Evangeline looked at

"I just came to get checked out, no need to make a big deal of it. Thanks for the offer, though." Evangeline's tone was not exactly warm, yet she was nothing if not courteous.Her issues with Walter were her own and would not spill over to anyone else—that was her line in the sand."The room's right next door."Caden tried to pull away."Really, it's not necessary, I'm all done here," Evangeline shook her head firmly. She held up the medicine box for him to see, the label clear as day.Levonorgestrel tablets. These were emergency contraceptives for use within 72 hours post-incident.Walter's expression went through a rapid transformation, turning stormy and dark.If Evangeline's earlier reaction outside the County Clerk's Office had left him with a glimmer of hope, maybe, just maybe, she had cared for him once. Now, however, he knew better. It took quite a bit of loathing to bolt to the hospital for birth control the second they split up, and Walter knew it.During Caden and Ev

Nonetheless, it was no surprise. Evangeline was never short on admirers.Caden's thoughts drifted to Walter's sour face, and he muttered to himself.Was there really no chance left for Evangeline and Walter?In the sleek Lamborghini, Wade glanced at Evangeline's pale face with a touch of concern and smoothly fired up the engine."Miss, your birthday's coming up in a few days, and with your identity all over the news, Grandpa wants to throw you a blockbuster birthday party. Got any thoughts on that?"He knew his young mistress had been tough as nails and would not have wanted anyone fussing over her. If he let on how worried he was, it might just have stung her pride. Thus, he kept it strictly business when he asked about the party plans. "So, who's gonna run the show?" She was not surprised that Cole had wanted to go all out for her birthday. His health had been on the rocks, which just made him all the more determined to shower her with every good thing under the sun, including
Unmasking the Heiress Chapter 105
A text had come in. Tapping the screen, she was greeted by a photo of Julia, grinning wickedly as she dropped a pill into a blue cocktail. It all clicked for Evangeline. The one who had sneakily sabotaged her at the Whiskey Barrel Pub was none other than Julia! It made sense.Evangeline was always kind, never the type to stir up trouble. If anyone had a grudge, it had to be Julia and her family.Evangeline's fingers tensed, and a fierce glint sparked in her eyes. She swiped to reply and typed with purpose, [Snatch her up, take her to our spot.] Hitting send, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.'Julia, you like playing dirty? Two can play at that game.' She would be waiting to watch her fall.To Evangeline's dismay, it was not long before she got another message, one that turned the tables. [Julia's gone.] Just two words, yet they carried a weight of meaning.Julia, a nobody starlet, missing? How could she pull a vanishing act without a trace?She had managed to sneak away ri

The call connected, yet Walter did not jump to speak. What could he possibly say to Evangeline, who was practically his ex at this point?Unable to hold back her fury any longer, Evangeline on the other end confronted him. "Out with it, Walter. Is Julia there with you?"Her voice was full of righteous indignation, demanding.A heaviness settled in Walter's chest. His gaze lingered on a black metal door before he turned to look outside. With a scoff, he replied to the fiery spirit on the other end of the line."Ms. Rearden, unless I'm mistaken, isn't Ms. Julia your half-sister? It seems a bit off for you to grill me like this, doesn't it?"Evangeline was not in the mood for Walter's evasive games. "You know perfectly well what my relationship with Julia is like. Let me be clear, my people have been searching high and low for her, and she's nowhere to be found in Avalon City! Everyone knows the Gordons rule the South and the Fosters dominate the North. Apart from my own family, who

"This is a kidnapping! It's against the law! Do you even know who I am? I've got the Gordon family of Avalon City backing me up, Mr. Walter Gordon himself! Let me go now, and I'll talk to Walt! Maybe he'll go easy on you, give you a break!"Julia was bound hand and foot on a stark black iron bed, immobilized.Amid this grim scene, she was not the least bit scared. Instead, she threw Walter's name around like a shield, her voice full of false bravado.Interesting…A smirk played at the edges of Walter's mouth, his face a mask of amusement that did not quite reach his eyes. Those eyes were like bottomless pits, hiding any trace of his true emotions, leaving everyone guessing.He was not one to waste words. No matter how much Julia ranted, he would not give her the satisfaction of a response.Standing by the window, Walter casually lit up a cigarette, blowing smoke rings while Julia watched, her eyes wide with disbelief."Walt?" Her voice was laced with utter shock, her heart in he
