Evelyn returned to her dad's office, and together they drove back home. Emelia had gotten home half an hour earlier and was already preparing dinner. She came to welcome her husband and daughter.

The teenage girl made a disgusted face when she saw her parents kissing—no matter how old a person gets, it's always awkward seeing their parents getting intimate. "I'll go clean up first," she excused herself and rushed upstairs. After getting out of her clothes, she took a shower and dressed in shorts and a baggy T-shirt.

With nothing better to do, Evelyn brought out her sketchbook and indulged in it. She wasn’t as good at drawing as she would like, but she had picked up the habit from her uncle, who said it was a great stress reliever. And it was. It helped calm her nerves, and she could push the stress of the day to the back of her mind.

Evelyn was just adding color to her sketch when her phone rang. She reached for it and sighed in relief when she saw that it was Matilda calling. She wa

    "Seriously?" The bartender raised a brow at the request, and James gestured toward Evelyn. "A minor, I see." The man passed her a soda and sent James a suspicious look. Why the hell was this dude talking to a teenager?Despite his disapproval, he obviously had no right to meddle in other people's affairs, so he chose to mind his business. James ignored the man’s warning and smiled down at Evelyn. "Usually, it's not every day we see girls like you on this side of town.""What do you mean by 'girls like me?'""You know, beautiful, fancy, and with a sophisticated aura. Which school do you go to?"Evelyn hesitated slightly. Was it alright to give out information about herself to someone she just met? What if the guy turned out to be a creep and tracked her down? Even if he did manage to find her in such a populous school, what could he possibly do? The only time she didn’t have bodyguards around her was during school time; aside from that, she truly had nothing to worry about."Avalon Imp

    Evelyn hadn't given him a name; instead, she had cried her eyes out. Sage held her affectionately and patiently waited for her to regain her composure. This was the first time she had experienced something so traumatic, and it left her feeling so dirty. If it hadn't been for that mysterious stranger, things would no doubt have ended far worse than they had.Sage took her out of the club and towards the parking lot. He helped her buckle up and drove right out of the dreadful place. Now that her head felt clearer, she began to imagine the consequences of her actions.Knowing Sage, he would probably insist on taking her home, and if he did come with her, she would have to explain to her parents. She found herself very reluctant to do so. She could already imagine the disappointment on her mother's face, and the pure anger and vengeance on her father's. Winter wouldn't let this go. He would not only punish the one who hurt her, but also those involved.She thought about her best friend, M

    Evelyn storms into her room angrily. She can't simply tolerate her parents' behavior at this point! While she understood their worrying about her, there was no need to involve others in the matter. She was clearly the victim here, and if she said she didn't mind, then can't they let the matter go?No, imagine the news that would circulate her school tomorrow. Those who already looked down on her would have more reasons to loathe her; Bella would have more reasons to bully her! She couldn't stand it."Evelyn, honey?" She was just about to strip off her clothes when she heard the insistent knocking. Though she didn't wish to see anybody at this point, she knew her mother would only pester her more if she didn't grant her an audience."Come in, Mom."The door pried open, and the middle-aged woman walked in. Although Emelia was in her early forties already, she didn’t look her age at all. Her smooth skin had no wrinkles, her hair was long and luscious, her figure was on par with that of a

    Evelyn found Maddy already in class when she arrived. The cheerful girl was looking rather down, and for the first time, she was sitting at the back. When she saw Evelyn, she waved at her with a smile and gestured for her to come over. Evelyn went and took a seat beside her."What happened to you?" she asked anxiously. "You suddenly went missing from the club, I searched everywhere! Thankfully, I got a text from Sage saying he took you back home.""Sage texted you?""Yeah, it was really considerate of him. If he hadn't texted, I would have surely gone crazy with worry. I'm so sorry, Eve, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to that bitch in the first place, and I certainly shouldn't have dragged you along. I was grounded for months by my parents. I don't even want to imagine the punishment you received from yours.""Actually, I didn't receive any punishment. Just an earful of scolding.""Damn, your parents are so thoughtful and understanding," she sighed wistfully. "I wish min

    Unknowingly, she began to entertain the thought of actually considering Sage's proposal.She couldn't take her eyes off him in class. She hadn't noticed just how tall and good-looking he was before; now, it was all she could think about."Ms. Walker, mind taking your eyes off Sage for a moment and paying attention to the board?" The teacher's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, and it also drew the entire class’s gaze to her. Some found it sincerely amusing, while others, particularly Sage's female admirers, gave her warning looks.Evelyn shrank back in her seat, her face aflame with embarrassment. She hadn’t even realized she'd been watching Sage so intensely that even the teacher had noticed.Sage looked over his shoulder at the embarrassed girl and couldn’t help an amused chuckle.

    Molly Walker, the one person Winter couldn't silence. Knowing how malicious his mother was towards his wife and daughter, Winter preferred it if she remained in New York instead of visiting. While he could punish those who dared to spread rumors about his daughter's legitimacy, at least their words were only speculations based on very thin evidence.But Molly knew the truth, and though she never pointed it out directly, her hints weren't exactly subtle. And Winter respected her enough not to have her threatened; he could only watch with great dissatisfaction as she ran her mouth over issues that were of no concern to her."Dad?" Evelyn had gotten out of the car and was waiting for him to do the same, only she saw that the man was lost in his thoughts and was glaring down at the steering wheel like it had offended him greatly."You go in first, I'll be right behind you."Evelyn easily agreed and left the parking lot.

    "Oh no, he's going to get you in trouble again," Evelyn bit her lips anxiously. Silas couldn't help but follow the movement. He wasn't known by his circle to be a patient person, but he didn't urge her to make a decision quickly. This frightened birdie had a weak mental state; he didn't want to push her into doing something she didn't want to.Besides, this might be the first time he was asking a woman out—usually, they just threw themselves at him."Alright then, but...would you be okay with me telling my father about you? Perhaps if he knows that you are the one who saved me, he might get off my back.""Sure, do as you wish.""How do you plan on doing this? Beth is very skilled; she doesn't even let me go to the bathroom alone.""Don't worry." He glanced at the woman briefly, then rose to his feet and gestured for Evelyn to follow. The blond girl blushed when he held her hand in his; those who didn't know their relationship would think they were a couple. "Your bodyguard isn't the o

    Meet him? He was willing to meet up with her?Evelyn was stunned; it took her a long while to finally digest what her savior was proposing. From their short interaction, she’d thought he didn’t have a good view of her, he might even think she was annoying. But who would have thought that he would propose to meet up again!Her excitement died down, however, when she recalled the events of yesterday. Silas hadn’t hesitated to shoot those people; it was the first time Evelyn had been involved in a violent scene. There was something dark about him; perhaps he was involved in a gang or something. Either way, it meant he wasn’t safe, and the best option would be to stay away from him.Plus, her father and uncle were already mad at her; how could she do something to annoy them again? But she was curious about Silas; she had so many questions for him. If she passed off this opportunity, then who knows when she would get the chance to see him again."I’ll be there."Her mind was already made u

    Sensing the rising tension, Luciano finally interfered. "It's enough now, both of you." He turned his gaze to Ashton; there was a bit of guilt in his eyes. "I will speak with him."Ashton scoffed, and with one last glare at his son, he walked out of the room. Only when he saw his father retreating back did Silas allow his emotions to reflect on his face. He was in disbelief; just now, he had been a bit scared that the man might take action. The way Ashton had stared at him was like looking at a dead thing, cold and detached.Slowly, he sat back on the sofa, his hands trembling by his side, which made him feel very irritated. "What would you like to talk to me about?""The girl you met—you shouldn't get involved with her anymore.""Why?""The reason is not important.""Not important?" Silas laughed dryly. "You saw his reaction just now. Did that imply that whatever is happening here isn't important? You all are trying to hide such a big secret, and you want me to play the role of an id

    Silas was back in Italy by the next morning. Thankfully, he got to his grandfather's house just as his father's car stopped in front of the compound. The handsome man was dressed meticulously in a three-piece suit, his hair kept short and neatly cut. He exuded an air of coldness that intimidated those around him.Luciano came out to greet his adoptive son, a smile playing on his lips. "I didn’t expect you to come here today. To what do I owe the visit?""I'm here to bring the boy home. His mother worries.""He is old enough to go wherever he wants, Amore. There’s no need to coddle him. He is a Beriosova, after all."'That's it,' Ashton thought to himself. 'It's exactly because I know he is a Beriosova.'The longer Silas stayed in a place like this, the harder it would be to untangle him from the web of crime and illegal business his grandfather governed. Ashton hated this kind of lifestyle the most. He had left the compound after marriage, choosing to start an honest business his fami

    Though the man was visibly angry, how could Evelyn leave just like that? She didn’t know why she was still lurking around; a part of her just wanted to get to know this person more. She felt an instant connection to him.Or perhaps it was the resemblance he shared with her mom. Every time she looked at his face, she was left feeling dazzled. He was simply too handsome; just one look into his eyes and she would get flustered. How nice it would be to befriend this person. Only then could she properly repay him for his help.“You don’t understand how difficult it was to find you. Now that I’m here, I can’t simply leave just like that. At least let me take you out for dinner.” No, that sounded like she was asking him out on a date! Seeing the man’s face darken further, she quickly added, “Or we can just talk here. I don’t mind.”“First of all, I don’t appreciate being stalked.” The fact that she had even managed to find him meant he hadn’t been on guard in the first place. That wouldn’t d
