All Chapters of Evelyn Wyatt: The Vindicated Wife : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Evelyn's POV The night air was crisp, a soft breeze brushing against my skin as I stood there, caught between Leonard’s calm demeanor and Caleb’s piercing gaze. My mind raced, wondering why Leonard was so composed despite the sudden tension that hung in the air. And Caleb—why didn’t he seem fazed by the sight of us together? Was he genuinely unbothered, or was he just putting on a polite front out of respect? Questions swirled in my head like a storm, each more confusing than the last.“Evelyn,” Caleb called again, his voice sharper this time, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to him and forced a small smile. “Caleb, hi,” I said, trying to sound as casual as possible.His gaze narrowed slightly. “I've been calling. Why weren’t you answering your phone?”I tilted my head, feigning ignorance. “I didn’t see any calls,” I replied evenly.“That’s strange,” he said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone. “I called you five times.”“Well, I guess I didn’t hear them,” I sho

Evelyn's POVI sat on the chair, debating to myself. Should I let Leonard in or not?. The knock was now consistent but I just sat unmoved, endeavoring to make a better decision. My heart pounding in my chest. The knocking was gentle but insistent. I had expected him to give up since I didn't respond to the knocks, at that point I wanted to be left alone with my thoughts, but it seemed he wasn't one to give up easily.With very little to no visibly expression on my face I stood up and made to unlock the door, the moment I had spent with him earlier washed through my body which made me halted dead on track, I stood for as long as i can't remember and reflected through the moment, and I let out a little smile before proceeding to open the door.My mind was up for a game with me, I stopped again after a step, I can't tell how I feel, but whatever it is, it was real, right then I stood reminiscing on my life with Henderson lately, “No fairy tale would be better” I thought deeply to myself.

Evelyn's POVI sat across Leonard in the dimly lit restaurant, my heart fluttered. He leaned in occasionally, whispering words I couldn’t quite make out, his voice low and teasing. The soft glow of the lights cast a flirtatious ambiance over our dinner, and I found myself lost in his deep, mesmerizing eyes.Our gazes locked again, and I quickly looked away, feeling the tension rise. To ease the moment, I asked, “Why do you keep staring at me like that?”His reply was swift and shameless. “I was just wondering what else you do besides being insanely hot. If I had cereal here, I'd give it up just to spoon you instead.”I nearly choked on my food at his last comment.He grinned mischievously. “Whoa, slow down there. It’s not a race.”With a smirk, I leaned forward slightly. “Wouldn’t you like to go racing for pleasure afterward?” My voice was sultry, and I bit my lower lip just enough to tease.The effect was immediate. He shifted in his seat, visibly trying to collect himself but failin

EVELYN'S POV:I tried to act calm, not letting them notice the turmoil I felt, but my body betrayed me. I never anticipated Caleb's visit. But then again, this was Dana and Caleb being themselves.My instincts went into overdrive as I processed the unexpected twist. A shiver ran down my spine when Caleb's eyes locked onto mine, a hint of a momentum playing on his face."Dana, what's going on?" I asked, striving to keep my tone neutral.Dana breezed past me, with Caleb standing close behind. "I hope you don’t mind, but I brought Caleb along. I thought we could hang out. You know, make it a little gathering, isn't that interesting?," she asked casually.I watched as Dana and Caleb made themselves comfortable in my living room. A lingering unease settled over me; I couldn't shake the feeling that Dana was up to something, and Caleb's presence only deepened the mystery. But I stayed calm."I don’t think I want to go out today. Maybe we could hang out some other time," I said, feigning ind

EVELYN'S POVI opened my eyes quickly, sweating profusely, my body drenched in a cold sweat. It took me a moment to realize that it was all a dream. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shove off the vivid images that still lingered in my mind. I turned on the bed lamp. My eyes darted from one nook of the room to the other, searching for any sign of movement or presence. But obviously, I was alone.I took a deep breath, trying to ease myself from the tension I felt at the moment. It was just a dream, I told myself. But the memory of it still felt so real. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered inside me.As I sat up in bed, my mind began to wander. Was it just a coincidence that I had dreamed about Dana and Caleb betraying me after what I already knew? Or was my subconscious trying to tell me something? I thought intensely, trying to analyze every detail of the dream. And I came to understand immediately that Caleb and Dana were up to something. I needed to act—I couldn’t sle
