prologue..... Vanessa pov The cathedral was stunning, towering marble pillars, golden chandeliers casting a soft glow, and rows upon rows of high-society guests, all dressed in their finest. The scent of luxurious perfume and fresh roses filled the air, blending with the incense curling up from the golden censers. Everything was flawless.Too perfect. The fragrance of blooming roses and high-end perfume filled the air, blending with the faint sound of classical music. Laughter echoed among the crowd, champagne glasses clashing in joy. It was a dream, one I had been instructed to value, to desire. Yet beneath the grandeur, beneath the polished smiles and whispered congratulations, I sensed it. The unsettling anxiety. The silent cry stuck in my throat, desperate to break free. It slithered through my veins, an icy whisper of truth I refused to acknowledge. I held the bouquet of white roses so tightly that the fragile petals wrinkled beneath my fingers, their once perfect shap

Chapter 1: A perfect plan for a perfect anniversary

Three months earlier..... (Evelyn pov) I couldn’t stop smiling. Humming gently, I placed the new bouquet of roses in the crystal vase, fine-tuning each stem to reach perfection. The fragrant scent of lilies and roses permeated the air, mixing with the cozy scent of vanilla candles dancing on the dining table. Everything needed to be perfect, just as our love. In two nights, Sebastian and I will be celebrating our anniversary. Our fifth year of celebration. Five years filled with love, joy, and common aspirations. I ran my fingers along the exquisite silverware, imagining how his eyes would sparkle when he walked in, how his lips would turn into that unique, sincere smile, the one he saved just for me. But that wasn’t all. This anniversary was going to be even more special. I softly placed my hand on my abdomen, a warmth radiating within me. Sebastian was about to become a father. The mere idea flooded me with warmth, blending feelings of excitement and anxious an

Chapter 2: whispers in the Dark

(Evelyn pov) I ended up the call with Vanessa, but something about her tone lingered in my mind, an implicit reluctance, a forced lightness. Had I imagined it? I dismissed the discomfort and reminded myself that this evening wasn’t focused on Vanessa. It was about us, Sebastian and I. Our anniversary was nearing, and despite my husband being distant recently, I was set on reminding him of what we shared. I inhaled deeply, pushing aside the rising uncertainty, and headed downstairs to see how the maids were doing. The home was already immaculate, the atmosphere fragrant with fresh roses from the arrangement I had set in the foyer earlier. The team had performed excellently, as usual. In the kitchen, Maria, our head maid, was putting away the last of the dishes. She turned when she saw me. “Ma’am, do you need anything?” I smiled, even if it felt constricted. "You all can retire for the evening." "I'll handle dinner." Maria took a moment to think. “Are you sure, ma'a

Chapter 3 : The Big Reveal

“ Evelyn?” Sebastian called my name once more. The sound sent shivers through me, and I gripped the doorframe tighter while struggling to breathe. I needed to behave normally. He had no way of knowing that I had been standing there, eavesdropping. Stepping forward as if I had just arrived, I angled my head, pretending to be puzzled. "Yes?" I heard you called my name. Did you fall? “Are you in need of anything?” His expression remained unreadable, but a flicker appeared in his eyes, caution? Guilt? It disappeared just as quickly, replaced by a practiced calmness. “No, I’m fine. I just needed something from you.” His eyes scanned the room before settling back on me. “Where are the maids?” “I sent them off,” I answered calmly, my heart pounding. His brows furrowed slightly. “Why is that?” I paused for just a moment . "Nothing," I replied, but the subtle shake in my voice gave me away. He examined me with his piercing eyes, as if stripping away my layers, attempting to u

Chapter 4: shattered vows

“Vanessa?” Her name escaped my mouth, but it felt strange, acrid, like very poisonous. The woman in front of me wasn’t just my best friend. No, she was more than that. She was my sister. Not by blood, but by everything that mattered. Vanessa and I were raised together in our grandfather’s home, united by a childhood rich in whispered secrets, collective dreams, and an inseparable connection. From the moment we learned to walk, we were always together, chasing fireflies on warm nights, building forts with old blankets, and sneaking into the kitchen for midnight snacks. We laughed until our stomachs hurt, wept in each other's embrace during life's hardships, and stood strongly together, shielding each other from the world's harshest blows. She was more than simply my cousin; she was like a sister in every significant aspect, the one person l I relied on to consistently back me up. When everything in the world felt against me, Vanessa was my safe haven, the only person I

Chapter 5: The breaking point

(Evelyn pov) The divorce paper shook in my hands, the ink blurring as my vision swam. My chest constricted, and my breathing came in brief, agonizing breaths. The atmosphere in the room was stifling, weighing on me like an invisible pressure, yet I would not allow them to witness me break down Not here. Not in front of them. Sebastian stood across from me, his expression unreadable, making it seem as if this moment, the end of everything we created, was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Vanessa, on the other hand, crossed her arms, her gaze sharp and expectant, like she was waiting for me to surrender, to sign without a fight. But, I would not. Not without answers. I swallowed hard, forcing the tremor out of my voice. "How long?" Sebastian’s eyebrow knitted together slightly, but he didn’t ask for clarification. He knew exactly what I meant. Vanessa released a dramatic sigh, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "Eve, does it actually make any differ

Chapter 6: public Betrayal

(Evelyn pov) A sharp, rhythmic beep pulled me from the abyss. Cold. The room was cold, yet my body burned from the inside out. My eyelids felt like lead, my limbs heavy, weighted down by an unseen force. The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to the air, sharp and suffocating. A harsh glare pressed against my closed eyes, forcing me to acknowledge the blinding reality waiting for me. Where…? A groan slipped past my dry lips as I shifted slightly, only for a dull, aching pain to radiate through my skull. It was nothing compared to the hollow emptiness clawing at my chest. Then it all came crashing back. Sebastian’s cold voice. Vanessa’s triumphant smirk. The divorce papers. The suffocating pain. I tried sitting up, but a firm hand pressed against my shoulder. "Take it easy," a soft voice murmured. "You're in the hospital." I blinked, my vision swimming until it settled on a nurse adjusting an IV drip next to me. "The hospital?" My voice rasped, throat raw.

chapter 7: No forgiveness

(Evelyn pov) The knock on my hospital door was sharp. Cold. Like him. I didn’t say come in. Didn’t acknowledge it at all. But the door opened anyway. Sebastian entered, his tall stature filling the area, projecting elongated shadows in the softly lit room. The atmosphere changed, growing denser, bearing down on me with a nearly choking heaviness. He remained silent. Did not go past the entrance. He just stood there, observing me. His facial expression was inscrutable, a flawless facade of apathy, but I observed the nuances he couldn't entirely conceal. The rigidity in his shoulders, the manner in which his jaw tightened just a bit. And his hands, fingers curling by his sides, as if preparing for collision. Like he expected me to explode. Like he knew he deserved it. He was uncomfortable. Good. I avoided looking at him directly, keeping my eyes fixed on my lap, where my hands were held so tightly that my nails almost broke through my skin. The quiet lingered between us, end

chapter 8: old wounds

Evelyn’s POV "Peter." I smiled softly as I turned toward him. His presence felt like a warm blanket after being left out in the cold for so long. Peter was Sebastian’s cousin, but over the years, he had become something of a quiet confidant. He never liked how Sebastian treated me, and he hadn’t been shy about saying it either. Now, seeing him here, my heart clenched with mixed emotions—relief, comfort, and a bittersweet ache I couldn’t quite name. Peter’s eyes softened when he saw me, concern etched into his handsome features. He held a brown paper bag in one hand and a bouquet of white lilies in the other. "I came as soon as I heard." He walked in, placing the flowers on the small table beside my hospital bed. "I brought your favorite—chicken soup from that little café you love." The simple gesture tugged at something deep inside me. No one had done something so thoughtful in a long time. "You didn’t have to—" I started, but he cut me off with a warm smile. "I wanted to. You

chapter 9: fractured loyalties

(Sebastian’s POV) The city lights blurred into long, glowing streaks as I sped down the highway, the tires humming against the asphalt in a relentless rhythm. My hands clenched the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned bone white, the leather groaning beneath my grip. The hum of the engine filled the suffocating silence, but inside my head, it was louder, chaotic, stormy, an unforgiving whirlwind of thoughts that refused to quiet. Evelyn and Peter. The image was seared into my mind, like a cruel photograph on repeat. Evelyn’s soft smile was gentle, almost radiant as she sat beside him. Her laughter, light and unburdened, echoed in my ears. I hadn’t heard that sound in weeks, maybe longer. Not from her. Not when she was with me. And Peter’s gaze? It lingered on her, steady and... protective. His eyes followed her like she was something fragile, something worth safeguarding. That look gnawed at me, scraping against my already frayed nerves like sandpaper on raw skin. Doe
