Chapter seventy six.Evelyn's POV.As I slowly opened my eyes, a groan escaped my lips. My head throbbed, and all I wanted to do was sink back into the darkness of sleep. The memories of the previous night came flooding back - the tequila, the cake, the kiss... and everything else. My face burned with embarrassment as I recalled the details. Why didn't I think? I slammed my hands over my face. Relieved to find Alex wasn't in the room, I breathed a sigh of relief. How was I supposed to face him after last night? I decided to pretend I didn't remember anything. Standing up, I winced as my legs protested. Bruises, courtesy of Alex, seemed to be making an appearance. The delicious aroma of pancakes and coffee wafted through the air, making my stomach growl. I placed a hand on my belly and dragged my feet to the kitchen.Alex was whistling and dancing, a tray of food in hand. He turned around, a bright smile on his face, and I wondered what the occasion was for. "What's the occasion

Chapter seventy five.Alex's POV.I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes, my head throbbing in protest. I let out a hiss as I tried to stand up, but I was pulled backwards. That's when I turned and saw Evelyn wrapped around me. At first, my eyes widened in surprise, but then memories of the previous night came flooding back. Tequila, laughter, and...this. A smile crept onto my face as I stared at her peaceful expression. I couldn't help but wonder: had I already fallen for this queen beside me? The thought sent a flutter through my chest, and I couldn't deny the connection I felt.I leaned in, my lips brushing against her neck. She stirred, mumbling incoherently as she turned toward me. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I gazed at her peaceful face. This was the Evelyn I remembered from our childhood days – the one who clung to my hand, who always wanted to be by my side.My smile lingered as I studied her features. I had envisioned our first sex differently, but it seemed fate had

Chapter seventy four.In a blink of an eye, I found my lips on Alex's lips. I didn't move, one part of me was screaming for me to move, but I couldn't. I felt stuck here, like everything I was doing felt right. His lips were soft, but the kiss was demanding, and I could feel the intensity of his need. I needed no soothsayer to tell me he needed me as much as I need him.The tequila was making it hard for me to drink, my whole body was screaming Alex's name.Alex broke the kiss, without thinking twice I pulled him closer, his hands gripping my waist. “A….Alex,” I stuttered, before pressing my lips on his. He moved the two strands of hair that fell on my face and I tied my hair in a bun. He pulled me closer while I scrambled with the buttons of his shirt and eventually I had the shirt out of way, exposing his broad chest.I licked my lips subconsciously, I wanted this man, he was driving me crazy. I closed my eyes as I felt his breath on my neck, he leaned his hand moving behind

Chapter seventy three.Evelyn's POV.I turned to face Alex as he snapped his fingers at me, a hint of annoyance flickering across my face. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, his eyes curious. I shook my head, dismissing the thought. "Nothing," I replied, tearing my gaze away from the tire. Letting out a weary sigh, I mumbled, "Let's go in." We entered the house, and I dropped my things on the couch, yawning. Alex's unexpected "Thank you" caught my attention, and I turned to face him, raising an eyebrow. "For?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.As Alex placed his hands on mine, his words filled with gratitude, I felt a warmth spread through my chest. "For taking up the case and fighting till the last moment," he said, his voice sincere. I chuckled, covering his hands with mine. "We did this," I corrected, but Alex shook his head."No, we got to this stage because of you," he insisted. "You fought to the end, you made my battle yours." His words were heartfelt, but what caught

Chapter 72Evelyn POV."What do we do?" I asked, grabbing Alex's arm.Alex's expression remained resolute. "We don't have a choice. We need to leave the case."I shook my head. "We've invested too much in this case. We can't just walk away."“Evelyn…..” but I ignored him. I turned to Lucas, my voice firm. "You're needed for the court case, let's go. We might catch a cab."Lucas eyes met with Alex, before Alex could respond, I called out, "Lucas! Let's move!" Lucas fell into step beside me, his eyes scanning the surroundings as we hurried away from the courthouse.In no time, we found a cab. The drive was going so smoothly despite the constant hiccups coming from the long drive and fast drives.But it was important that I get there.I rubbed my palms, staring outside. From tapping my feets and hands to biting my nails to checking my time constantly and even playing with my hair.I tried as much to hold back before bursting out.Lucas's words caught me off guard. “I'm sorry, Evelyn.”

Chapter seventy one.Evelyn's POV."No...no...no...Olivia, don't!" I begged, desperation creeping into my voice. But she just let out a hiss, her eyes flashing with anger. "What makes you think I'll listen to you?" she sneered, her tone dripping with contempt. I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice."Stand up," she barked, and Alex stood up, his hands behind his back, his expression unreadable. Olivia gestured to the driver, who immediately picked me up, his grip like a vice. I struggled against him, panic rising up, but he held me firm."Don't hurt her," Alex barked, his voice firm, but Olivia just let out a mocking laugh, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "You should think about yourself first, not her, Mr. Lover Lover," she sneered, her tone dripping with venom. Alex rolled his eyes, a mixture of frustration and disdain on his face, as if he was tired of Olivia's games. “Prepare yourself for the worst…,” she paused and burst into laughter again. “Evelyn, humiliated m
