The police arrived in eleven minutes.

It had felt longer.

In those eleven minutes the backstage corridor went from quiet devastation to controlled chaos — venue staff appearing from everywhere, someone from show management asking what was happening.

Priya had made the call.

By the time the first officers came through the

    The silence lasted approximately four seconds.Then —"MR. AIDAN." He shrieked it the name with his whole chest. "You made it to my birthday party!"The room exhaled. There had been this tension, and there still was, but Leon made it lighter.Hecrossed the room and grabbed Aidan's hand and then stopped and looked at Jane properly for the first time."Who is this?" he said.Jane looked down at him and smirked."I'm his wife, honey." she said, and turned to Evelyn's direction.Leon looked at her and then looked at Aidan. Aidan shifted uncomfortably."I'm glad you came,"Leon said simply, like Jane hadn't spoken. Like the information had been received and filed and was not particularly relevant to the current situation which was that Aidan was here and it was his birthday.Aidan crouched down."Happy birthday, buddy.""Thank you." Leon looked at him seriously. "Did you bring me something?""Leon —" Evelyn's voice came from across the room."I'm just asking," Leon said.Aidan reached into

  • He Divorced Me, Now He's Begging for My Love   100: Birthday Surprise?

    Leon’s birthday had finally arrived. Balloons covered the walls. A large birthday banner hung above the living room. There were toys everywhere, and the smell of cake filled the entire house. Leon was running around with his school friends, laughing loudly. Evelyn thought inviting them would help, and it was also a kind gesture. “Slow down!” Evelyn called. Leon stopped for two seconds breathing hard, then he ran again. Evelyn sighed and laughed. It was impossible to keep him still today. Zara walked over carrying a tray of drinks. “He does have too much energy.” “He's been like this since he woke up, I presume.” Daniel joined in the conversation. Yes, he had arrived from New york just yesterday and Evelyn was glad he showed up. “He's six now. Maybe this is what six looks like.” Zara said “Maybe.” Evelyn shrygged lightly. She looked toward the door, only for a second, then she quickly looked away. Zara noticed, then smiled unapologetically. “You're waiting for someone?” “N

    Evelyn had barely taken off her shoes when she got home, when her phone rang.She looked at the screen and paused.It was Aidan. Why was he calling her, she thought. For a few seconds, she simply stared at his name.Then she answered."Hello?"There was a brief pause."Hi."Evelyn leaned against the arm of the sofa."Hi.""Did I call at a bad time?" he asked.She looked around her quiet living room."No, not really." she said. She hated how soft she was being right now."How was your day?" Aidan added."Long." she sighed.Aidan breathed out softly. "Mine too."Something about that almost made her smile. She sat down."Is that why you called? To compare stressful days?" she asked him. She could feel him smile from the other end. "I was thinking of coming over." he said.Evelyn immediately straightened. "Aidan.""I- Im not coming inside or anything, not tryna disturb either."She paused."I just want to talk to someone..to you."Evelyn looked toward the window, she was visibly struggli

    Evelyn signed the wrong page again.Hugh pointed it out gently, he had noticed she wasn't fully present and had decided not to say so directly. She apologised, initialled the correct line and handed everything back.Evelyn sighed. She leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temple.Thing was, her mind had been everywhere lately.Leon, his birthday, his school, his health....Aidan.She immediately frowned. No. Not Aidan, why would he be on her mind even? she thought.Sophie came in ten minutes later with a question about the Cannes press list.Evelyn looked at her."Can you give me —" She stopped. "Can everyone just — just give me an hour.""Yes ma'am." Sophie nodded and left.Evelyn sat in the quiet. She looked at the work on her desk and stood up.She had been storing a lot lately, she needed..she needed peace or something closer.She walked out of her offic, had no idea where she was going either.Her heels clicked against the floor as she walked down the hallway, and her staffs gre

  • He Divorced Me, Now He's Begging for My Love   097: What am I fighting For?

    Leon's birthday was in four days.Evelyn was on her knees on the living-room floor, banner in her lap, trying to figure out how the damn thing was supposed to hang when the doorbell rang. She was waiting for Zara to arrive and come and help her so she was glad she was here already.She opened it. Her brows raised. It was..Aidan. Casual jacket, no tie."Hi," he said. His stare grazed over her."Hi." she replied, awkwardly. Evelyn thought for a moment before she spoke. "I didn't give you my address, Aidan..." she said. "Are you stalking us?"Aidan gave a slight smirk. "No, Evelyn. Not personally I mean." he said.Evelyn opened her mouth to say something but she closed it back."And I was..nearby and decided to check in on Leon.." he said."You're always nearby..."He almost smiled. "Can I

  • He Divorced Me, Now He's Begging for My Love   096: Drink to That

    It was just last week that Jane had reached out to Daniel just before he traveled to New York."I said I was done with that, Jane. Please do not call or text me again." Daniel had said to her."C'mon, Daniel. Think about it. I promise you, this time, I will get my husband for good and you and that wom-Evelyn..will live happily I guess." Jane said, quite sarcastically.Daniel thought about it for a moment. He hit his head, he couldnt believe he was even giving it a thought.It had put Leon's life in danger the last time. And he still couldn't bring himself to tell Evelyn about it."Goodbye Jane. How about you sort your marriage yourself. Go to therapy or something," He cut the call on her. He ended the call with the aim of never speaking to her, that's why when he ended the call on Evelyn right now, he kept asking himself why his mind he was thinkin
