CHAPTER 11

EVELYN

I stared at the document until the words stopped looking like words.

Until the ink blurred.

Until my father's signature became something impossible.

Something that belonged to another life.

Another person.

Not mine.

Not my father.

Not the man who used to carry me on his shoulders when I was a child.

Not the man who sat beside my bed when I was sick.

Not the man who told me that love was the only thing in the world worth fighting for.

My hands shook.

Because the paper in front

    CHAPTER 14EVELYNThe truth had a way of arriving quietly.Not with thunder. Not with warning.Sometimes it came in the form of a single sentence that changed everything.And sometimes it came from the mouth of someone you trusted.I stared at the document on my dining table, unable to move.My fingers were cold.My heart was worse."Mia," I whispered.She sat across from me, her eyes red, her hands twisting together. She looked smaller than I had ever seen her.Not my fearless best friend.Not the person who always had an answer.Just Mia.Someone carrying a secret too heavy for too long."I didn't know how to tell you," she said.I laughed softly, but there was no humor in it."You always say that."Her eyes lifted to mine."You didn't know how to tell me Eden contacted you. You didn't know how to tell me he wanted me to wait. You didn't know how to tell me you changed my entire life because you thought you were protecting me.""Eve...""And now this."I tapped the document.The pap

    Chapter 13EVELYNThe first thing I did was check the locks.The front door.The balcony.The windows.Every single one.Oscar didn't stop me.He just watched.And somehow, that hurt more.Because the old Oscar would have walked over, taken my hands, and told me everything was going to be okay.This Oscar stood back.Like he wasn't sure if he still had the right.Like he was already preparing himself for a life without me."I didn't know," I whispered.He looked at me."I know.""No, you don't." My voice cracked. "You don't understand. I don't even know what's real anymore."The past few days felt like someone had taken my entire life and shaken it until nothing was left where it belonged.Eden wasn't the man who abandoned me.Mia wasn't the person who protected me.My father wasn't the man I thought he was.And now someone had entered my home.My safe place."Did you tell Eden?" Oscar asked.The question caught me off guard."What?""About the photo."I stared at him."No.""Why?"I

    CHAPTER 12EVELYNThe world has a strange way of becoming silent when it is falling apart.My phone kept vibrating.Again.And again.And again.But all I could hear was my own heartbeat.The headline was still there.My name.My face.My marriage.My past.Everything I had tried to protect had been dragged into the light.I scrolled once.A photo of me and Eden at my wedding.Another picture from seven years ago.Another from my engagement party with Oscar.Someone had taken pieces of my life and arranged them into a story that wasn't mine.THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOST LOVE RETURNS.NEWLYWED WIFE CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO MEN.DID EVELYN WILLIAMS MARRY FOR SECURITY?My stomach turned.Because strangers were judging a life they knew nothing about.They didn't know the nights I cried when Eden disappeared.They didn't know how hard I worked to move forward.They didn't know how much I tried to love Oscar the way he deserved.They only saw a headline.And somehow...A headline was enough."Evelyn."

    CHAPTER 11EVELYNI stared at the document until the words stopped looking like words.Until the ink blurred.Until my father's signature became something impossible.Something that belonged to another life.Another person.Not mine.Not my father.Not the man who used to carry me on his shoulders when I was a child.Not the man who sat beside my bed when I was sick.Not the man who told me that love was the only thing in the world worth fighting for.My hands shook.Because the paper in front of me was saying something else.It was saying my entire understanding of the past was wrong.I read the sentence again.THE AGREEMENT THAT ENDED EDEN AND EVELYN.My stomach twisted."No."The word came out quietly.Almost like a prayer.Because if I said it softly enough, maybe it would disappear.Maybe I would wake up.Maybe Nathan Blackwood would not have just handed me proof that my father had something to do with the worst heartbreak of my life.The restaurant suddenly felt too loud.The so

    CHAPTER 10EVELYNI didn't sleep.Not really.I closed my eyes, but every time I did, I saw that photograph.Me leaving my office.Me walking through the city.Me living my normal life while someone else watched from a distance.The worst part wasn't knowing Nathan had seen me.It was knowing he had been close enough to.Close enough to know my routine.Close enough to take a picture.Close enough to become a shadow I never noticed.By morning, the letter was still on the bed beside me.Eden's handwriting stared back at me.If I couldn't tell you myself... then Nathan got to me first.What did that mean?What had happened seven years ago that I didn't know about?I picked up my phone.For one second, I almost called Eden.Almost.My thumb hovered over his name.Then I stopped.Because I was angry.Because I was confused.Because I didn't know if I was calling him because I needed answers...Or because some part of me still knew exactly who to run to when the world became too heavy.A

    CHAPTER 9EVELYN"Nathan isn't after the company."The words echoed in my head.Vanessa stood across from my desk, pale and trembling, while my pulse hammered against my ribs."He's after you."For a moment, I honestly thought I had heard her wrong."What?"Her expression didn't change."Nathan has been watching you for years."I laughed.A short, disbelieving laugh.Because sometimes the truth sounds so ridiculous your mind rejects it before your heart can process it."That's impossible.""I wish it was."My fingers tightened around the stack of letters."How would he even know me?"Vanessa looked away.And somehow that scared me more."Because of Eden."The room seemed smaller."When Eden first left the country, he talked about you constantly." Her voice was quiet. "Your photos were everywhere. His apartment. His office. His phone."I swallowed hard."He loved you."Past tense.Not loves.Loved.That hurt more than it should have."Nathan noticed."A cold feeling crawled down my spi
