"I am not..." Aaron said with a casual shrug.

Liam's gaze, sharp with disappointment, that seemed to physically weigh him down, raked over Aaron. "Dude, what the hell happened to you?" He shook his head as refused to accept the bitter truth "You're making a mistake, a huge one. I knew how much you love Evangeline, but looking at this room, I can't believe you did it"

Aaron let out a deep breath,, the heavy unspoken words mixed in the air. "Don't rush to judgment, Lee. Trust me, I would never disappoint my friend, You will understand it later," he said as he grabbed a nearby towel, his movements stiff, and headed towards the bathroom and shut the door.

Liam sighed and walked angrily out of Nate's room.

Meanwhile, in the quiet room, Victoria lying on Nate's bed, her eyes tracing the patterns on the ceiling. A soft smile touched her lips. " I think I like Eve," she said, "She is perfect for my brother."

Nate, a smirk instantly replacing his neutral expression at the sound of Evangeline

  • Betrayal by love   CHAPTER 43: She don't deserve this

    A week later.Nate's wearing a seatbelt, and his grip tightened on the steering wheel with a car engine roar, eyes on the rearview. " Do you think she's doing well?" he asked.Victoria, perched in the passenger seat, adjusted her makeup and glanced at her mirror. "Um! I think so," she said. I don't like her friends. They are emitting bad vibes. Remember how awful Zoey was?"Nate nodded, his focus on the road, " Yeah... I've seen that Eve's friends, all smiles and jokes, seemed normal enough at first. But on that trip, they completely ignored her." He said, his voice low and thoughtful. "But something is bothering me. Aaron's sudden change in behavior raises doubts. His eyes are always telling something." He stopped his car at the traffic signal. "Have you noticed Aaron's reaction? When he saw that image,"Victoria narrowed her eyes and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he didn't get shocked after seeing his best friend's photo." Nate, chewing the gum, "Yeah... it seems he knows something a

    Evangeline's breath hitched, her eyes were red, and under the waterline, purple veins that were slightly popping out with tears, her neck veins were visible, due to suffocation. The tension increased in the room, and then the door burst open.Chris and Michael stood near the doorway; their faces etched with concern as they took in Evangeline's distress. Both rushed towards her. "Eve! What... where is the inhaler?" Chris asked, grabbing her hands.Nate became a whirlwind of motion, tossing dresses aside in his frantic search. Finally, his eyes landed on the White tube. "Found it...." he shouted, his voice filled with relief as he grabbed and rushed towards Evangeline. She held the inhaler with her trembling hands, intake slowly. Within a few minutes, her torn breaths softened like regular breath.A collective sigh of relief filled the room as the tension began to fade. "Thank God," Chris exhaled, his shoulders relaxing against the wall.Victoria pulled Evangeline into a tight hug, tea

    Evangeline walked onto the balcony and stretched her body. "What were you guys talking about?" she asked, settling into a chair. After her presence, tension hung in the air between Victoria and Nate.Victoria, with a forced, casual smile, a little too quickly, offered, "Uh! Nothing much. Just debating whether this downpour means we should ditch our hiking plans.""Hmm. I think it's good, I am already tired of watching fake people around me," Evangeline agreed, twisting her messy long hair into a quick bun. Her gaze then softened as she noticed Nate's withdrawn demeanor. "Nate, you seem a little off. Everything alright?" she asked with genuine concern.Nate offered a tight nod. "Yeah... just... yeah."Evangeline's attention shifted to her phone and, scrolling through the IG posts, suddenly stopped, her eyebrows arched in disbelief. "What the hell?" she murmured, thrusting the screen towards Victoria and Nate. "It's a picture... of me and Nate?""Hmm, I just posted. " Victoria interrupt

    "Who might be?" Aaron thought. He walked to the washroom absently, splashed cold tap water on his face, watching his disappointment and regret reflected in the mirror. "I hope everything is solved soon," he said, wiping his wet face with a towel and opening the door.Aaron's eyes widened in shock. "Uh! Lee," he whispered, before another word came out of his mouth. Liam punched him in the face hard and slapped him.Aaron didn't react or defend himself. He stood silently watching the floor in guilt. Liam, his hand still raised back for another punch, watched Aaron's broken expression and the blood trickling from the corner of his lip. He signed, and slowly he lowered his hand down. "Just hit me harder, Lee.... I deserve this...." Aaron grabbed Liam's hand and slapped it against his cheek. "Please hit me...." he begged, his words slurring, broken into crying.Liam's eyes furrowed in confusion; his rage reduced to concern. "Hey, Aaron, what happened?" he asked, gently lifting Aaron's chi

    In the evening, the sunset bled across the endless beach in golden color, the cold breeze whispered with wave sounds making the party perfect. Down the shore, the staff were preparing barbeque and fruit salads, the scent of grilled seafood mingling with cold air, and another side, different types of drinks were being poured into glasses.Chris was relaxed wearing casual pants and a white shirt, holding a streamed cup, watching the sunset. "Eve, are you okay?" he asked, watching Evangeline's swollen face. He is sipping his coffee slowly. "Sorry, we both bailed on you so suddenly last night."Evangeline offered him a strained smile on her face, "It's completely fine, Chris. You too human right?" The laughter sound echoed behind them, interrupting their conversation. Both of them turned, glancing at who it was. Her eyes were red, flickering with disappointment as she saw Aaron and Zoey chasing each other playfully near the water's edge. She quickly averted her gaze, focusing on the beach.

    Aaron hesitated, then blurted out, "Um! Can I propose to you tomorrow... at the beach?""Huh!" Zoey's surprised by his words, her eyebrows shooting up."Yes, " Aaron continued, "I've been thinking. If I propose to you, maybe... maybe Eve will finally open up about her feelings. right?" He said as he watched Zoey's excitement on her face.He is a pure idiot. Anyway, it's beneficial to me, Zoey wondered as she nodded her head." Okay... that might actually be the best idea.
