LOGINDamon"You're so fast," Bianca said the moment she opened the door, a smug smile playing on her lips as she stood there wearing nothing but the lingerie from the picture she had sent me.She had clearly expected me to walk through that door for an entirely different reason, but the moment I saw her, all I could think about was Evelyn. I rushed inside, grabbed Bianca, and pinned her against the wall, my hand tightening around her neck as I glared into her eyes."Tell me, what the fuck did you do to her?" I snapped, my voice filled with barely controlled rage.Bianca's hands immediately went to my wrist as she tried to push me away, but I only tightened my grip, my anger drowning out everything else."I said, tell me what you did to my wife!" I demanded, my voice rising as I pressed her harder against the wall.Bianca struggled for breath, yet instead of looking afraid, she suddenly laughed. "Your wife?" she managed, her voice strained beneath my grip. "Your wife, or your contract wife?
DamonMy eyes widened the moment the CCTV footage came into view. Evelyn had barely stepped out of the hotel room when several men appeared from nowhere, their faces concealed. They surrounded her before she even had time to react, one of them grabbing her as she struggled, and then they dragged her away from the camera's view.My hands curled into fists so tightly that my knuckles turned pale, and a sharp wave of anger crashed through me. "Shit," I muttered, running a frustrated hand through my hair. "I shouldn't have let her leave."I turned toward Kai, my voice rising with urgency. "Find her. I don't care how you do it, Kai. Find out where they took her. Check every camera, every road, every vehicle that left this area. I need to know where she is." My chest tightened as I looked back at the frozen footage of Evelyn. "I can't leave without her. I can't..."I stopped myself, swallowing hard as an old fear clawed its way back into my chest. I had lost her once. I wasn't going to los
Damon"What if I've been stalking you, darling?" I asked, taking a slow step toward her.Evelyn's eyes widened instantly, and the shock on her face was almost amusing. She took a step backward, her lips parting as though she couldn't decide whether I was serious or completely insane."What...?" she stammered.I stopped only when I was close enough to see every little change in her expression, watching the suspicion and disbelief battle across her face. I leaned toward her, breathing in her familiar scent before lifting my hand and gently brushing my fingers against her cheek."What if I've been craving the chance to feel every inch of you?" I murmured, my eyes holding hers. "What if I've wanted to touch you, wanted you here with me, and have been waiting for this moment longer than you could ever imagine?"Her body stiffened beneath my touch, and she quickly pulled her face away from my hand. "Are you for real?" she asked, her voice trembling between disbelief and irritation.I stared
Evelyn"Really?" I asked, staring at him. "You want me to do that?"Damon's dangerous smile remained in place, as though he had been waiting for me to challenge him. "Why not?" he replied, his voice smooth and unbothered. "We're married."Something in his answer irritated me so much that I reached for the zipper of my dress before I could think better of it. My fingers moved quickly, tugging at the stubborn fastening, but it refused to budge. The more I struggled, the more determined I became, even though my hands were trembling and my face was burning.Damon's amusement slowly disappeared as he watched me. "What are you doing?" he asked, sounding genuinely surprised.I shot him an angry look over my shoulder. "You told me to take off my dress. I'm doing exactly what you asked."He stared at me, suddenly quiet, and I could almost see the moment he realised I wasn't joking. That small hesitation gave me the courage to lift my chin."Or are you scared now?" I challenged, turning toward
EvelynHe leaned in so close that my heart immediately began racing, and for one terrifying second I forgot how to breathe. Damon's face was right in front of mine, his eyes fixed on me with that familiar, wicked amusement, and the closer he got, the more my thoughts scattered. I could see the faint curve of his mouth, the way his gaze dropped briefly to my lips, and the deliberate slowness of his movements made it impossible to believe he didn't know exactly what he was doing to me."What are you..." I began, but my voice faltered when his hand moved past my shoulder.Instead of touching me, he reached for the light switch beside the bed and turned it on. The room brightened, revealing every detail of his handsome face, including the smug expression he wore as he looked back at me."What were you thinking?" he asked, his voice low and teasing.I blinked at him, suddenly aware of how close we still were. "Nothing," I stammered, looking away.Damon hummed as though he didn't believe me
EvelynThe kiss replayed in my head again and again as the car moved through the city, no matter how many times I tried to push the memory away. I could still feel the brief warmth of Damon's lips against mine, and every time the image returned, my stomach twisted in a way I didn't quite understand. It had only been a kiss, a ridiculously short one at that, yet somehow my mind had decided it was the most important thing that had happened all day.I stared out of the window, pretending to be fascinated by the passing buildings when, in reality, I was desperately trying to calm my racing thoughts."What are you so stressed about, darling?" Damon's voice suddenly pulled me back, and I turned too quickly, only to find him much closer than I expected. His face was inches from mine, his eyes studying me with that familiar amusement that made my heart jump.I immediately leaned away, creating as much distance as the seat would allow. "What are you doing?" I asked, my voice coming out sharper
Evelyn“You’re sure about that… little vice?” Damon’s voice cut through the line, sharp and amused in a way that instantly made my spine stiffen, like he could somehow see straight through me even without being here.I swallowed, forcing my tone to stay steady despite the way my fingers tightened s
Evelyn I didn’t sleep much that night. Even when I closed my eyes, that message kept replaying in my head. [Stop crying. It doesn’t suit you.] The water ran down my skin, warm, steady. My fingers slid through my hair slowly, my eyes closing for a brief second as I tilted my head back, letting th
EvelynI woke up the next morning with puffy, dark under-eyes, the memory of last night sitting heavy in my chest. It wasn’t a blur. I remembered everything. Tessa finding me, pulling me out of Damon’s hands like she already knew I wouldn’t leave on my own.I reached for my phone. The screen lit up
Evelyn “I want a divorce.” The words sat on my tongue like something bitter I couldn’t swallow, even though I had already said them out loud. “Are you sure you want me to start drafting your divorce?” Tessa’s voice came through again, tight with disbelief, like she was trying to hold me together
