Drawing strength from where she never imagined she would, Evangeline raises her knee and hits Eric’s intimate parts. The moment he walks away, to complain about the aggression suffered, Evie closes her hand in fist and hits a wrong punch in his face. Without shaking with that and holding her intimate parts, Eric pushes her, walks away and shouting how slutty she is. Sitting on the floor, seeking her dignity, Evangeline cries. She feels that she is in that room again, with her clothes torn. "Hey! Evangeline?" Audrey, who was also looking for the bathroom, almost stumbles on the redheaded girl sitting on the floor. "Are you crying? What happened?” Although she tries to speak, despair takes over her body and she feels that an anxiety crisis is happening. Audrey also notices, then quickly grabs her by the arm and uses all her strength to take her away from all those people. After a few minutes searching, they enter the area reserved for smokers. "Leave." Audrey says, looking at the
The test was positive, obviously. Amid the tears, I told my mother what had happened. She cursed me bitch down. He said that I deserved all the pain the world was able to cause me and that now I would know what it was like to have life destroyed by a baby out of time. I let her go and looked for the one person I should be looking for at that moment. Eric. He did even worse than my mother. He said I wanted his money and was using the pregnancy for that. That since I had the courage to have sex with three different men on the same night and act like it was no big deal, it could have happened to other people as well. Eric kicked me out and told me never to look for him again." "I lost the baby, two weeks after graduation." Evie says, drying her face again. She had not stopped crying since the mention of Eric’s name. "It was painful, since the child was almost formed, but I believe it was deliverance. I can’t imagine what my life would be like today if that pregnancy had paid off.”
Alec hadn’t been able to pay attention at work all day. While investors and directors talked and expounded their ideas for an upcoming job, Alec only thought of ways he would torture the man who nearly hurt Evangeline. And standing in front of the bar where Diego and his gang were dealing, his thoughts remained the same. Alec couldn’t take his eyes off the door, where two men talked and shared a marijuana cigarette. It had been an hour that he was there and Diego had not yet appeared. Alec’s phone beeped, informing a new message. Hopeful that it was Evangeline, he looked quickly. Upon reading his older sister’s name, Alec rolled his eyes and almost gave up on opening the message. Upon seeing the image of Evangeline, trapping her rebellious red hair in a high ponytail, Alec smiles. Before he could question his sister, what she was doing with Evangeline, Howard hits her arm. "He arrived." informs, making Alec look quickly at the door. "Let’s go?” "Wait a minute.” Alec watches D
"She’s the woman your son is in love with. Do you really want to contest her presence?” "Alec is in surgery." finally says. "He..." Blake looks again in the direction of Evangeline. "How much does she know?” "Everything.” "Wow... Alec really... well. He got into a mess with our enemies on the north side." Evie looks at the conversation, hearing the word north. "With a single shot, he killed the Colombian, but before that bastard died, he shot Alec twice.” "My God! Has he been there long?” "It must be more than two hours." Blake comments, looking at the Rolex watch on his wrist. "No one comes to tell me about his condition.” Audrey hugs her father and pulls him to sit. Evie slowly walks away and looks for the hospital cafeteria. Upon finding her, she goes to the counter and asks for coffee and tea. While waiting, Evie sits on the bench and notices a man sitting at a table behind the counter. She then abandons the bench and goes to him. "Is it my fault?" asks suddenly, causi
It was the first time she looked at Alec, without having to look away out of shame from some phrase said by him. After a week without seeing him, Evie had noticed that Alec was growing a beard and had some gaps on the side. On his neck, there were three birthmarks, which looked like the three marias stars. Alec only had tattoos on his arms and none seemed to have any meaning, as they were just random drawings. A little below the figure he had tattooed, was a band, protecting the wound that had been made by one of the bullets. Evie found herself caressing Alec’s straight hair and pulling some strands from his forehead. His fingers slipped across his face and a sideways smile sprouted from his lips. "Shit, Alec." Evie murmurs, still caressing him. "I can’t believe this is happening.” She wasn’t just talking about him getting into a mess and being hospitalized. Ever since Audrey told about Alec being shot, Evangeline’s heart was beating out of control. When the doctor informed him
As soon as she finishes packing up, Evie holds the chair and pushes Alec out of the room and consecutively out of the hospital. Howard, who was waiting in the car, quickly approaches, seeing the two leave. "Leave it to me." he says to Evangeline, occupying himself in pushing the chair to the car. He lightly hits Alec’s shoulder and squeezes him. "What a fright, brother. Don’t do that anymore.” "No one can talk about it.” After helping Alec sit in the back seat, Evie occupies the empty seat next to Howard. "How’s business?" Howard looks sideways at Evangeline, who just nods in denial. Alec frowns and faces the two interchangeably. "What was that?” "The doctor asked for at least another week away from his..." she looks sideways at Alec. "professional activities.” "What? This is absurd! I’m..." in an attempt to get closer to the front seats, Alec ends up feeling pain in the belly points. "Oh...” "Great. We can see that.” He snorts and settles down, this time more calmly.
Evie felt so comfortable in that kiss that as she relaxed her body, she lay on Alec’s body and ended up touching his wound, making him grunt in pain. "Oh my God." she murmurs, walking away quickly. "Sorry.” "No problem. Come back here.” At the same step she took to get back to what she was doing before, Evangeline stepped back. Alec looked at her confused. "No." she says and starts looking around, as if looking for something. "I have to...” "Evangeline...” "I have to go. Bye, Alec.” He calls her and even contemplates going after her, but at the same time he felt a lot of pain in his wounds, Alec felt in the clouds. The taste of Evangeline’s kiss was infinitely better than he could ever imagine. The shiver he felt on his skin, no woman made him feel it before. And while fleeing the mansion, Evangeline thought the same thing. She touched her lips, feeling again, every sensation Alec’s mouth caused with a single kiss. She was so absorbed by his thoughts, that she passed
"I figured the way you got out of here, I wouldn’t see you until I could get out on my own.” "That was the initial idea." Evie confesses. "But I... damn. I can’t stop thinking about you." Alec smiles and runs his tongue through his lips. "You can take that smirk off your face. That shouldn’t happen.” "Why not do it?” "Do you swear you asked that question?" She crosses her arms. "Forgot everything you did, to make me stay with you? You weren’t able to hear the many no’s I said and it was making it harder and harder. I should hate you...” "But you can’t." He smiles again. "No." Evie sighs and sits at the end of Alec’s bed. "I already had you hanging around my head, so Audrey asks me out and gives me her opinion on everything.” "Did she do that?” "It did. And I thought it was cute. I love your sister.” "And amazingly, Audrey loves you too. She never, I repeat, never liked any girlfriends I ever had.” "I have my charms." Evangeline mocks and shakes her hair red and oddly
