Evelyn's POV

When I woke up, it was already 8:30. Crap! Totally broke my 7 a.m. morning run streak. And of course… all thanks to this man. God knows how we ended up going all the way until 5 a.m. last night. Honestly, I think I passed out from exhaustion in the end.

I only planned to do it once… after all, it’s cheating.

His hand was still on my chest. I shoved it away and tried to get up. But my legs were like jelly. Didn’t make it—plopped right back onto the bed. That little bounce woke him up.

Groggy, he sat up behind me and wrapped himself around me like some sleepy koala. My shoulders must’ve looked like leaves to him, ‘cause this koala started nibbling my neck and shoulder.

I shoved him off. He lazily propped himself up, watching me get dressed.

“Already leaving?” His voice was rough from sleep… ridiculously sexy.

“Oh, are we supposed to have breakfast together too?” I rolled my eyes.

“Don’t mind me. Maybe we could… try something else,” he said, eyes sliding down shamelessly.

It was hard to connect this with the cold, dismissive guy who rejected me before.

“I wouldn’t mind giving you a taste of my slap,” I teased, wiggling my hand at him.

He paused mid-smile. “I wanted to ask… you wearing a ring while cheating?”

“That’s the fun part, isn’t it?” I shrugged. Sleeping with a married me somehow makes it less complicated for him.

“Fun? Is your marriage that boring?” he asked.

That question? Totally unnecessary. I didn’t owe him an answer.

I got dressed and glanced down at his underwear on the floor. God, just yesterday that tiny little thing wrapping him up… wow. My mind immediately cooked up a crazy idea.

“Hey… what brand are these?” I asked, picking them up.

He smirked. “Oh? You still care? Planning to buy a pair for your husband?”

“Bingo,” I winked.

“You’re serious?” His pupils went wide.

Absolutely serious. Revenge time.

My husband used to shower me with expensive bags after he cheated—gifts for his guilt. I could basically count his affairs by the bags in my closet. Pathetic, right? I know. I was pathetic.

So now, every time I cheat, I buy a pair of underwear in the same brand as my mistress. And the day I divorce him? Oh, I’m gonna tell him. Gonna make him puke.

I checked the waistband: Zimmerli. Perfect. Dropped it back on the floor.

“Thanks,” I said, walking away without looking back.

At this point, I still didn’t know his name. And he hadn’t asked mine. Fine by me.

Back in my room, Maddie showed up. Today’s our last holiday day. Afternoon, we pack up and head home.

“How was it?” Her eyes were sparkling.

“Honestly? No morals… feels amazing.”

“Ha! Who asked about that, you bad girl! I meant the guy—big? Skilled?”

“Well… my hole’s still having aftershocks. Tomorrow? Forget my morning run.”

Yep. His skills… damn. Even thinking about it now, I’m wet.

“Enjoy being a little bitch! You were way too vanilla before,” Maddie blew me a kiss.

“Sebastian said the same. Maybe that’s why he cheated,” I muttered, half-joking.

“Nothing justifies cheating. Don’t blame yourself.”

“But I’ve got a revenge plan,” I grinned.

“Oh? Do tell.”

“Well… I’m gonna get Sebastian the same underwear as Stallion.”

“Pfft—” Maddie sprayed her wine, coughing. “You’re such a clever little devil!”

“Hey, he cheated and gave me a bag every time. Just looking at my closet now feels like an insult.”

“That jerk! Listen, just giving him underwear isn’t enough. Post it on I*******m! Caption: 1/8! And when you divorce him, spill it all—let him know men aren’t the only ones who can cheat!”

“Crazy—but I love it!” I grinned.

So I uploaded a photo of Lake Como with: 1/8 ✅

Twenty minutes later… Sebastian liked it.

Maddie couldn’t stop laughing, and she even commented below: “To be continued…”

The thrill of revenge was buzzing through me. Never felt so… alive.

While we were chatting, I opened my laptop and searched for Zimmerli—

“Wow… this brand, huh? This guy’s got taste,” Maddie leaned over to peek. She’s a luxury brand heiress, knows this stuff inside out.

“Crap! One pair costs over a hundred bucks… seriously, should I spend this much on Sebastian?”

Sure, Sebastian’s family is rich, but I’m not. Even married to him, I still can’t get used to fancy people prices.

“Buy it! Only something pricey will make him realize—there are tons of guys richer and hotter than him. Cheap stuff would just slap you in the face!”

So, I bit the bullet and ordered it. Next day delivery.

Then we got giddy, plotting who #2/8 in my revenge list should be.

“Better be a doctor. He got himself a nurse, after all. Wonder if it’d feel different on an exam table,” I giggled.

 

After the plane landed, Sebastian was at the airport to pick me up. We kissed—me like the perfect wife, him like the perfect husband.

On the way home, I was still basking in my little revenge glow… until he said:

“Babe, I’ve got a party tonight. Won’t be able to have dinner with you. Oh, and I got you a new bag—LV, the latest. You’ll love it.”

And just like that, my smug little victory went up in smoke.

That means he’s off to cheat again.

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 211

    Evelyn's POVThe fear still hadn't fully left my body.My legs were trembling so badly that I could barely feel them, and every breath still seemed to scrape painfully against my lungs, but instinct overrode everything else, sending me stumbling forward before I had time to think as I grabbed hold of Julian's arm with both hands.“That's enough!”My voice cracked.“Julian, stop!”His chest was rising and falling violently.He didn't look at me.Didn't answer.Didn't even seem to hear me.His gaze remained fixed on the man sprawled across the dirt, and there was something in that expression that made my stomach tighten all over again, because I had absolutely no doubt that if this weren't a public campground, if people weren't already running toward the commotion, if there weren't witnesses and cameras and consequences waiting just outside the darkness, Julian might genuinely beat this man until he needed a hospital.The man on the ground sucked in painful breaths through bloodied lips

    Evelyn's POVAt that exact moment, a dark figure burst out from the side.Before I could even react, before I could fully process what was happening, a sickening impact split through the darkness, the kind of heavy, violent collision that seemed to shake the air itself, and the man holding me was suddenly ripped away with such overwhelming force that it looked as though he'd been struck by a speeding truck.His grip disappeared instantly.His body left the ground.And then he crashed into the wooden fence beside the trail so hard that the entire structure rattled from the impact, while his scream arrived a fraction of a second too late, delayed by pure shock.I stumbled backward, nearly losing my footing as I sucked in a desperate breath, my lungs burning from panic and exertion, my pulse hammering wildly against my ribs while adrenaline flooded through every nerve in my body.For a moment, everything seemed unreal.And then I saw him.The figure had already stepped between us, placing

    Evelyn'POV“I knew you'd come out here alone.”The man let out a low laugh, and the sound sent a wave of revulsion crawling across my skin because there was something deeply wrong about how pleased he sounded, as though this entire situation had unfolded exactly the way he'd hoped it would.“Girls like you are always the same,” he continued, his breath hot against my ear while he effortlessly countered every attempt I made to break free. “You think you're smart. You think you can handle everything yourself.”As he spoke, he absorbed my resistance with infuriating ease, the way an adult might restrain a child throwing a tantrum, and the casualness of it terrified me far more than if he had seemed angry. I drove my elbow backward again, harder this time, putting my full weight behind the strike, and when the point of my elbow finally connected with his ribs, I felt him flinch and heard a sharp grunt escape his throat.For one brief second, hope surged through me.It vanished immediately

    Evelyn's POVThe farther I walked, the quieter everything became.The laughter.The music.The conversations.One by one they disappeared into the distance until only the forest remained.The restroom itself was brightly lit in the least flattering way imaginable, flooded with harsh white light that made everyone look exhausted, and after washing my face and staring at my reflection for longer than necessary, I finally pushed the door open and stepped back outside.The night had grown quieter while I was inside.The air felt colder.The wind had picked up.For a brief moment, I simply stood there beneath the glow of the exterior light, taking a breath before making my way back toward camp.And then a tremendous force crashed into me from behind.My mind never even had the opportunity to understand what was happening before my body reacted on pure instinct, every muscle locking tight as a large hand clamped brutally over my mouth while another arm hooked around my shoulders and upper body,

    Evelyn's POVA cool gust of wind swept through the campground, carrying with it a burst of laughter and cheering from somewhere farther down the hill, and a moment later somebody apparently connected a Bluetooth speaker because faint music began drifting between the trees, rising and falling with the wind while the sky overhead remained impossibly clear, crowded with so many stars that it almost felt unreal, as though the entire city of Los Angeles had been pushed dozens of miles away and left beyond the horizon.“What about you?”I turned toward Maddie and tucked my blanket more tightly around my shoulders.“Have you been seeing anyone lately?”“God, no.”The look of immediate disgust on her face was so dramatic that I started laughing before she'd even finished answering.“Recently it's been nothing but guys exactly like that one.”She gestured vaguely toward the woods where our unwanted visitor had disappeared.“Models?”“Young models.”She emphasized the word young as though it we

    Evelyn's POVFor a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then she sighed.“You know, this whole thing proves at least one thing.”I glanced at her.“What's that?”“Julian may have an alarming number of issues.”The flames reflected in her eyes as she spoke.“Psychological issues. Control issues. Boundary issues. Rich-people issues. Probably several issues science hasn't even identified yet.”Despite myself, I felt the corner of my mouth twitch.Maddie pointed at the fire.“But.”She paused dramatically.“At least he's never looked at a woman who was actively crying and thought, you know what would really improve this situation? Asking her if she'd like to go back to my tent.”A laugh escaped me before I could stop it.Maddie immediately noticed.“See? That one was real.”I rolled my eyes.“That's an incredibly low standard.”“True.”She took another sip.“But it's still a standard.”The fire crackled softly between us.“And let's be honest,” she added, sounding far too pleased with hersel

    Evelyn's POVMaybe he noticed how exhausted I looked, or maybe he simply didn’t care for unnecessary conversation, but the silence between us settled naturally, almost deliberately—like he had given me a small, temporary space where I didn’t have to perform, explain, or even think.And for once, I

If anything, he probably didn’t want to acknowledge me, so this was most likely just a coincidence.I kept walking forward, dragging my suitcase behind me as the wheels rolled noisily against the pavement, the sound oddly persistent—like an
