Unraveled Hearts Between Lust and Loyalty
Liam sat in his office, his face pale as he held an envelope in his hands.He opened it once more and rubbed his temples. It was a picture of Evelyn and Christopher enjoying each other's company.Liam groaned once more swaying in his seat. He stared closely at Evelyn's smile. Damn, she has never smiled that way since they both got married.Taking a sip out of his coffee, he dialed Ophielia’s number.“ My office now." he barked, cutting the call before any response.Few minutes later, a sweaty looking Ophielia ran in his office looking tense as she glanced around.She sighed in relief as she saw Liam sitting relaxed on his chair.“ You called for me sir," she said, entering further into his office.Liam looked up from the envelope, tossing it to Ophielia. She stared at him weirdly before picking it up from the table.She rolled her eyes when she glanced at the picture. This was the fifth time Liam had called her to look at the picture. Apparently he told her to do some research on Evely

Liam sat back at the couch with frustration. The neon lights of the club steadily casting shadows across his face. The girl, "Pinkie,"leaned closer as she traced a finger along his jaw. “So, is this how it ends, handsome? No fun tonight?”Liam’s lips curled into a dangerous smile. “Trust me, sweetheart, you wouldn’t survive the kind of fun I’m thinking about.”Her playful smirk fell and she shifted uncomfortably as Archer walked back into the room.“What’s this? She’s not your type?” Archer asked, tossing Liam another glass of whiskey.Liam ignored the question, downing the drink in one go before standing. “Not tonight.” He wasn't in the mood for this as he could only think of Evelyn.Archer raised a brow, staring at Liam as he straightened his tie and adjusted his jacket. “Man, you’re slipping. A few months ago, she wouldn’t have been walking out of here at all.”Liam’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t respond. He pushed past Archer, his mind already somewhere else.*******************

That evening sounded… nice.**************************Evelyn went home hours later and was surprised to find some girls in her living room, all gorgeously dressed, with makeup kits in her hands. “Good Day ma'am,” one of the girls smiled. “Mr Stark sent us here to get you prepared for tonight." “Sent by Li

The bell rang signaling the end of another tiresome class. Evelyn gathered her books and hurriedly made her way through the crowd of students rushing out of their classes like they were being chased by something fearful.As she strolled the hallways, she noticed girls taking selfies with their iPhones, eager to post them on I*******m to gain likes and attention from boys, but she wasn't like them. Moving to New York from Houston had been a big change for her. Evelyn knew it wasn't a place for her. She was a young girl trying to fit in this new change, but didn't belong anywhere. The more she tried, the more she never truly felt at home.Father was always too busy for her and would rather focus on his work instead and mother was always consumed with work too, though she gave her little attention anyway. She hated herself the more and felt pathetic. She had no friends, wasn't pretty, just a pale face covered with freckles. Sighing, Evelyn opened her locker, carefully arranging her books

Liam turned his head, his heart pounding as he looked at Evelyn. Blood trickled down her face, staining her pale skin. He carried her fragile body from the wrecked car, panic surging through him with each step he took. Fortunately, he only has little bruises which weren't severe. The sounds of the sirens and flashing lights blurring his vision. Two nurses rushed towards him, their faces tense.“ Please sir, move aside! She's hurt, we need to get her to the hospital immediately" a nurse said as she gently took Evelyn from his arms.Liam nodded, his throat tightening as he ran his hand through his disheveled hair “ I'm coming with you". They wheeled Evelyn to the back of the ambulance. As the nurse placed the oxygen mask on her, Liam's eyes never left her fragile form. He gently pushed back the strands of hair that covered her face, his hands trembling as they grazed her skin. His gaze flickered to the full curve of her lips as he traced them. She was gorgeous even in this state, how

Unraveled Hearts Smoke and Secrets
The next morning started off weirdly. Evelyn was jolted awake by sounds of footsteps pacing the room. She groggily opened her eyes and saw Liam looking tense as he went out to the balcony. She cleaned her eyes, rolling over to the side of the bed and checked the time. It was only 7:15. Unlike Liam, he gets up late.She stood up, walking towards the dresser and picked up her robe. Wearing it, she strolled toward where Liam was. “Morning,” Evelyn said, yawning. Her body ached from all the work she had been doing in the company.Liam didn’t respond.“Liam?” she tried again, stepping closer.“What?” he snapped, his voice sharp.Evelyn froze mid-step. “I was just saying good morning. What’s your problem?”He turned around, his eyes roaming her figure before scoffing. “ I don't have a problem, Evelyn.”She crossed her arms. “Oh, really? Because you’re acting like you do. Care to explain, or are we just going to play this game all day?”Liam let out a humorless laugh. “You always need to di
Unraveled Hearts Shadows of the Past
In the poorly lit room, Scarlett sat holding her phone tightly, scrolling through the messages she had sent Evelyn in the previous week. Every text left unanswered and every call ignored felt like a blow to her self-esteem. She asked herself if Evelyn had taken the time to read them. The idea seared Scarlett internally, prompting her to throw her phone onto the table, its screen briefly illuminating before dimming again. She was alerted by the quiet footsteps to the presence of her informant, a thin man who moved in a shadowy manner. Scarlett didn't care to glance at him when he placed an envelope on the table. "Her presence was noted at Liam's birthday celebration," he commented, his voice velvety but hinting at something dark. Scarlett's head jerked up, her eyes narrowing. " Evelyn? At his party?" The man gave a nod. " She stood nearby. She arrived tardy, however she still showed up." Scarlett reclined in her seat, her fingertips drumming on the sleek surface of the table while
Unraveled Hearts The Unforseen Reunion
The day started with a feeling of jubilation. Pete's chuckles reverberated through Ava's warm apartment, adorned with streamers and balloons in every nook. Evelyn had put in a lot of effort to plan the ideal surprise for her son's birthday. Together with her closest friend Ava, she adorned the area with vibrant hues and made Pete’s beloved chocolate cake. Mia assisted in coordinating the games, and Pete's friends had assembled, filling the apartment with their vibrant presence. Evelyn experienced a unique sense of serenity as she observed her son's smile. Being a mother was her refuge, where she made memories for her son and pushed away the complexities of her life, even if just temporarily. In the afternoon, the party started to wind down. Pete dozed off on the couch, holding onto his cherished present - a toy spaceship gifted to him by Evelyn - while parents arrived to collect their kids. Ava volunteered to tidy up while Evelyn took a break, and Mia departed for the day, ensuring
Unraveled Hearts The Game Begins
Evelyn reclined in her chair, her face glowing under the bright stadium lights as the game commenced with a resounding cheer. She beamed, appearing truly at ease for the first time in weeks. Next to her was Pierce, a captivating grin on his face, his gaze intently fixed on her every reaction. Liam, sitting next to Evelyn, observed Pierce's looks but opted to disregard them, sipping his beverage and focusing his eyes on the game. "Is this your first baseball game, Evelyn?" Pierce inquired, casually moving nearer so that only she could listen. Evelyn laughed lightly, casting a quick look his way. "Indeed, yes." It is thrilling, however. "I was not anticipating to find so much enjoyment in it." Pierce's grin grew larger. "I'm happy to have been involved in your first experience, then." Liam cast a look, his jaw clenching slightly. "Evelyn and I typically attend many of these events," he stated, his voice steady yet meaningful. "Recently, baseball didn’t rank highly on our list." Pie
Unraveled Hearts Twisted Alliances
Scarlett made her way through the polished floors of the hotel lobby. She spotted Christopher at the table in the corner, sipping his coffee. He looked up as she approached, a smile forming on his lips.“ Christopher," Scarlett began, taking a seat opposite him. Christopher leaned back with a smirk. “ To what do I owe this pleasure?" Scarlett crossed her legs as she tapped the table impatiently." We have a mutual interest, right? Evelyn Jones." Christopher smirk grew louder as he looked at her. " Interesting, go on.”" You and I both know she doesn't belong here. She took what's mine, Liam, and I know you want her back. But what if I told you we could bring about her downfall?”Christopher raised an eyebrow at her, “ What do you have in mind?" Scarlett smirked, loving how responsive Christopher was. “ Her company is her pride and joy. Destroy that and she will come crawling back, desperate and weak. And that's where you'll come in.”Christopher nodded, this was definitely a good p
