The Next Day

Evelina had woken up hoping that Adrian would address what had happened the night before, but instead, he avoided her. He simply instructed the house help to tell Evelina and Noah to pack their bags because they were leaving on vacation.

Instead of complaining, Evelina simply accepted the fact that Adrian was not going to explain what had happened between them. Instead, he was going to act as though nothing had happened that night.

"Okay," was all Evelina uttered before placing a l

    “Oh, is that so? Explain to me what actually happened,” Adrian asked his wife. As she stood there, she could see the anger in his eyes. With every second she remained silent, his expression grew colder and Evelina knew she needed to find a good way to explain herself to her husband. Tim visiting her café was nothing serious. She had only offered him coffee and pastries as an apology.“I know this sounds very weird, but I want to assure you that Tim only came to the café because he was going through a hard time. I offered him nothing other than pastries and coffee. I also wanted to apologize for basically accusing him of being the one who was stalking me,” Evelina explained.However, one look at her husband made it obvious that he did not believe her.“So why is it that he kissed you?” Adrian asked. At that exact moment, Evelina froze. She was about to answer him, but then she remembered how close Tim had leaned toward her. Anyone who had witnessed the scene would have assumed they wer

    Ole CafeAgainst Adrian’s orders, Evelina had chosen to finally start working again. The thought of sitting in their house and doing absolutely nothing drove her crazy and she knew she needed to get out and do something to calm herself.When Evelina walked into the cafe, the employees were happy to see her back. She was equally glad to see that the business was doing much better and attracting more customers. This meant that when Adrian eventually gave her back the cafe, she would not be in debt because the business would be making enough money to pay everyone and keep everything running smoothly.Evelina had quickly thrown herself into work, serving the various customers and ensuring everything was in order. Once things had begun to calm down, she took a seat in one of the chairs in the cafe and closed her eyes for a little while.When she opened them, she found Tim sitting opposite her. Her body stiffened slightly and she was taken by surprise when Tim smiled at her.“Good afternoon

    As soon as Adrian realized that it was his wife standing behind him, he froze, wondering how much of the conversation she had overheard. He quickly turned around, only to find Evelina standing at the top of the stairs. He plastered a smile on his face, hoping she wouldn't suspect anything.“Oh, my love, it's nothing. It was just a call from an investor, that's all,” Adrian lied. Judging by the look on his wife's face, it was evident that she didn't believe him. He needed to make his explanation more convincing before she started asking more questions.“A call from an investor? Isn't it too late at night for them to be calling you?” she asked.“Yes, you're right, my love. It is rather late for an investor to be calling me, but it seems he forgot about the time difference between Chicago and where he is. He apologized for calling me so late,” Adrian explained, knowing deep down that he was lying to her. However, this was the only way he could cover up the lie that could ultimately break

    Adrian's eyes widened in shock as he struggled to believe what his father had just said. Even though his father had whispered the words under his breath, Adrian had caught them and he was beyond shocked. He had always known that his father wanted to get rid of his mother because he had accused her of ruining his marriage, even though he was the one who had initially cheated on his own wife.But never had Adrian thought that his father would have been behind the plot to kill his mother all those years ago. Although Adrian had been young at the time, he could still remember the countless times his mother had narrowly escaped death.Realizing that his son had heard what he had just said, Adrian's father tried to cover it up with another lie. However, instead of words coming out of his mouth, he simply stuttered as he watched his son approach with angry eyes."I will not ask you again, Father. What did you just say?" Adrian asked, his voice deeper this time, his eyes red with anger."Oh,

    Hours had passed since Adrian’s father left their house, but even as Evelina sat on the couch, she could see that her husband was still troubled. He stared into the distance, lost in thought, and she knew he was worried about his father’s reaction. She also knew she needed to distract him somehow.“You know, we’ve been through so much lately,” Evelina began, turning to look at him. “I think we need to visit your mother. We haven’t visited her in some time.”“Well, while you were away... I mean, while you were kidnapped by Bonnie, I made sure to visit my mother. She was fine, you know. Not the best, but she was moving on.” Adrian let out a sigh, a hint of sadness lingering in his voice. Evelina immediately understood that visiting his mother was exactly what they needed to get Adrian’s mind off his father.“I think we should go and see your mother. Come on, it would be fun.” Evelina said, dropping the magazine she had been holding before walking over to her husband and stretching out h

    “I lost my mind not knowing where you were,” Adrian finally broke the silence. His voice was low as he stared ahead instead of looking at his wife. Tears stung his eyes as the thought of losing her crossed his mind.Evelina’s throat tightened with emotions she could barely control. She had thought Bonnie would take her away from her family, and she would never see them again.“I... I missed you more,” Evelina answered. Adrian unlocked the door and stepped out of the vehicle. He then walked over to Evelina’s side and opened the door for her. He reached out as she slowly stepped out of the car.Together, they walked into their home, hand in hand. As soon as Evelina entered the house, she saw her son running down the stairs. He threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly. Feeling her son’s embrace made her eyes water.She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close, afraid she might never get the chance to do so again.“Mom, I missed you so much,” Noah told his mother.“I missed
