Evelyn POV

The elevator doors opened to the twenty-third floor of Bennett Holdings, and the familiar scent of polished wood and fresh coffee hit me like a memory I hadn't known I'd missed.

It had only been a few days since I'd last been here, but it felt longer. Everything felt longer these days, the hours stretched, the silences grew wider, and the weight of the judge's ruling sat on my shoulders like a coat I couldn't take off.

I walked through the corridor toward my office, nodding to the st

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 252: Hello, my saviour.

    Vincent POVI woke up suddenly at four-seventeen, by heart pounding wildly in my chest, my body taut with desire. I’d been dreaming about Evelyn kissing me for the past few days and would always wake up hard.I sighed. The sooner I try to make up with Evelyn, the better for me. I missed her so terribly that all I could think of right now was having her in my bed. The thought scared the shit out of me.Was I lusting over her now?The house was dark and still. I lay in bed for a moment, listening to the silence, hating the way it felt oppressive now, unlike before. The faint hum of the air conditioning. The settling of the building's old bones. The distant, rhythmic tick of the kitchen clock that I'd never replaced because the sound of it had become part of the architecture of my nights.I got up, pulled on a pair of joggers, and walked barefoot down the hallway toward the kitchen. I didn't turn on the lights. I didn't need to. I'd lived in this house for three years and could navigate

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 251: Whatever is necessary.

    Evelyn POVMargaret was quiet for a moment. She looked at her son, then at me, standing in the doorway in my wrinkled pyjamas, my wild hair, and my pounding head, and something in her expression shifted, and straightaway, I knew a confession was coming. But, I'd expected her to be remorseful, instead, her eyes glinted coldly as she regarded I and Adrian. "Fine. If you must know, I added a mild stimulant to the wine glasses," she said. "It's something harmless, and it lowers inhibitions and heightens sensual response. It's commonly used in—""I don't care what it's commonly used in." Adrian's voice rose, and for the first time, I was filled with pain. "You drugged your own son, drugged a woman who was a guest in your home and manipulated us into—""Into what?" Margaret said, and her voice was sharper now, the maternal warmth stripped away like wallpaper peeled from a wall. "Into acting on feelings you've both been circling for months? Into finally doing what you've both wanted to do

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 250: What did you put in the wine?

    Evelyn POVAdrian's face turned white as he stared at me. I saw the impact register behind his eyes, a flinch he couldn't quite suppress."You didn't want this," he repeated slowly."No. I didn't come here to sleep with you, Adrian. I came here because I was lonely and tired and you offered me a warm house and a fire and I was too exhausted to say no. And then the wine, and the terrace, and the stars, and you saying all the right things at all the right moments, but that is not enough for me to want to sleep with you.""What are you saying, Evelyn? Am I now undesirable?""It was not supposed to lead to sex, Adrian!" The words burst out louder than I intended, fuelled by the panic and the headache and the image of Margaret standing in the doorway seeing me half-dressed beside her naked son. "We have a painful history, Adrian. One that cannot just be erased because we have become friendly. I have spent the past year rebuilding myself, Adrian. You don't know what you did to me. You, Isab

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 249: The aftermath

    Evelyn POVThe first thing I felt was sunlight. Warm, bright, pressing against my closed eyelids with the insistence of a morning that didn’t want to be ignored. The second thing I felt was skin. Warm skin against my back, an arm draped across my waist, and the slow, heavy rhythm of someone else's breathing against the nape of my neck.The third thing I felt was wrong.My eyes opened.I was lying on the love seat on the Whitmore rooftop terrace, wrapped in a blanket, completely naked, with Adrian Whitmore's body curved around mine. His arm was heavy across my waist. His chest rose and fell against my back. His legs were tangled with mine beneath the blanket, and I could feel every point of contact between his bare skin and my bare skin with a clarity that made my stomach drop.For three seconds, I lay perfectly still, my brain cycling through the fragments of the previous night like a projector with a jammed reel. The wine. The conversation. The heat that had come on so suddenly. Adri

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 248: Something wasn't right...

    Evelyn POVI shifted my hips beneath him, a small, rolling motion, and the friction made us both gasp. He opened his eyes and looked down at me, and whatever he saw in my face set him free.He pulled back slowly, nearly all the way out, and then drove forward in one deep, fluid stroke that made me cry out and grab the arm of the love seat above my head. He did it again, establishing a rhythm that was unhurried but powerful, each thrust reaching deep enough to make me feel it in my entire body.I wrapped my legs around his waist, locking my ankles against the small of his back, and pulled him into me with every forward stroke. The angle changed, and he hit a spot inside me that sent shockwaves through my core, and I moaned against his mouth, my fingers scraping across his back, leaving red trails on his skin that I could feel rising under my nails.He responded by driving harder. The love seat creaked beneath us. His hand found my thigh and pushed it higher, opening me wider, and the n

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 247: Lovers...

    Evelyn POVThe sudden absence made me gasp, my hips lifting as I reached for contact that was no longer there. But before I could protest, his mouth was moving down my body. Not slowly this time. With purpose. His lips crossed my ribs, my stomach, the hollow of my hip bone, and then lower, his breath hot against the inside of my thigh.He settled between my legs, his hands pressing my thighs apart, and looked up at me. One last check. One last question in his eyes."Please," I whispered. It was the only word I had left.His mouth found me.The first stroke of his tongue was slow, a long, flat pressure that dragged through my folds from bottom to top, and the sensation ripped through me so sharply that my hand shot down and grabbed a fistful of his hair. He groaned against me and the vibration made my hips buck, but his hands held me steady, pinning my thighs open as he repeated the stroke. Again. And again. Each pass unhurried, tho
