Evelyn Sebastian’s eyes widened like the words I said didn’t register at first, like he expected me to take them back the next second, but I didn’t. “Are you serious right now?” he snapped, his voice rising fast, anger spilling out to cover whatever shock he felt. “You cheated on me and you’re asking for a divorce?!” A dry laugh slipped out of me, the sound bitter, my hand pushing through my hair as I shook my head slowly. “Wow… you’re still pretending? Just drop it, Sebastian, I know everything.” “Know what?” he shot back quickly, but there was a flicker in his eyes now. “Don’t act like you don’t know,” I said, stepping closer, my jaw tightening, my chest already hurting from everything I was holding back. My gaze dropped to the envelope in his hand and something inside me hardened. “Is that the divorce papers?” Before he could answer, I grabbed it from him, opening it quickly as I started pacing, my heartbeat loud in my ears, my fingers searching around blindly until I sp

Evelyn “Little vice…” His fingers closed around my wrists again, firm, unyielding, like letting me go wasn’t even an option in his head. Something in me snapped instantly. “Let go of me,” I shot back, trying to yank free, but his grip only tightened, not painful, just… impossible to ignore. My pulse jumped under his touch, which only annoyed me more. “What if I don’t?” he said calmly, tilting his head slightly, rain still dripping from his hair down to his jaw. There was something almost teasing in his tone, like he already knew I wouldn’t win this little struggle. “What are you going to do about it… little vice?” “I’m warning you,” I snapped, my brows pulling together as I tried again to pull my hands free. “Stop calling me that.” His lips curved faintly, not quite a smile, but close enough to irritate me. “Why?” he asked, stepping closer, his voice dropping just enough to make it feel personal. “Are you scared you’ll lose control?” His eyes locked onto mine, sharp, sear

EvelynDamon crossed the space between us in seconds, his steps fast and then his hands were on me, pulling me into him before I even realised what was happening. His arms wrapped around me, firm, grounding, but it didn’t stop there, because almost immediately he pulled back just enough to cup my face, his hands warm against my cold skin, his eyes searching mine with an intensity that made my chest tighten all over again.“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice lower now.That was all it took. The tears I had been holding back spilled over instantly, my lips trembling as I tried to speak but nothing came out at first, just broken breaths that refused to steady.“I…” My voice cracked, barely holding together, my fingers clutching onto his shirt without even realising it, like I needed something solid to keep me from falling apart completely.“You’re good,” he said quietly, his thumb brushing just under my eye, catching the tear before it could fall further. “You’re okay.”I shook my he

Evelyn“I saw you guys kiss.” Tessa uttered. The words hit, knocking the air straight out of me. My eyes squeezed shut on instinct, like if I blocked her out for a second, I could undo it, rewind the night, erase whatever version of me she had just described.“There’s no way,” I breathed, shaking my head as I forced my eyes open again, my voice already unsteady. “There’s no way I kissed that man.”“Tessa, I’m going to press charges against him,” I rushed out, the words tumbling over themselves, desperate, grasping for something solid to hold onto. “I’m sure he forced me to—”“It didn’t look forced at all.” She said softly, and somehow that made it worse. My stomach dropped.“You looked like you were taking the lead,” she continued, watching me carefully, like she was measuring how much truth I could handle. “You were all over him, Evelyn. Making out with him in a room like… like you forgot the rest of the world existed.”“That’s enough!” The words tore out of me before I could stop t

Evelyn[5 mins left.]The message blinked on my screen like a ticking clock, and before I could stop myself, my fingers were already at my lips, teeth pressing into my knuckles as if that would somehow quiet the storm in my head. My thoughts wouldn’t settle. They kept colliding, loud and restless. What do I do now?“Evelyn… What is that? What’s going on?” Tessa’s voice came again, tighter this time, her eyes fixed on me, searching, worried.I couldn’t answer her. I couldn’t just sit here and think.“See you later,” I said quickly, already moving, my voice sharper than I meant it to be as I headed for the door.“Evelyn—”I didn’t stop. The SUV was waiting outside. The moment I stepped out, a man in a tailored suit opened the door for me, his expression neutral, unreadable.“Mr. Damon asked me to pick you up.”The drive stretched longer than it probably was. When the car slowed, I blinked, my focus snapping back as the building came into view.Danville Hotel.A frown crept onto my face
