ASHVIN

At the time, I couldn't explain why those words affected me so violently. I only knew that the thought of Evelyn actually walking out of my life triggered something inside me that I didn't recognize, and now that I think back, I realize that feeling was fear.

Raw, pure, fucking fear.

Fear of being left again.

I spent years pretending Amanda's departure hadn't destroyed something inside me, but when Evelyn threatened to walk away, all those buried feelings came rushing back. Except this ti

  • Mr. CEO, I Came Back With Your Baby   Chapter Seventy Nine

    EVELYNLuna had just finished her breakfast when I heard a car pull up outside the house.I was standing at the kitchen counter, rinsing her plate while she sat at the table, swinging her little legs beneath the chair, still talking excitedly about Lucian and Lucy. The friends she made, even though they were older, I was more comfortable with her around them because they were Ryan’s children and he seemed like a good man. Of course I had to look into their behaviour too; I wouldn’t let Luna make friends with just anyone lest she learn bad habits. I barely managed to convince her that she couldn't go to school just yet because Mummy still had some things to figure out when the sound of a vehicle stopping outside made me glance toward the window.For a moment, I didn't think much of it.Sophie was supposed to come over that morning so she could help me watch Luna as I met Leo so we could quickly finalize the contract. I was given twenty-four hours, and time was already running out. “L

    ASHVINI knew Evelyn was furious with me the moment I walked out of that building with her glare burning against my back, but I couldn’t give a shit.I’d failed her, and I was going to do everything in my power to protect her and little Luna. Though my suspicion about who her father was only grew. When I watched the videos again, I paid attention to dates and noticed that it wasn’t long after she left and her antenatal scans timed very well to around the time she left me, so unless she met a man who looks so much like me a few days after leaving me……..then…..then that meant…….I couldn’t even finish that thought. But it couldn’t leave me either. I needed to check, and I planned on getting a sample. Evelyn was smart, and with her watching me like a hawk, it wasn’t going to be possible to easily get the sample, so I needed to strategize. That was why, first thing in the morning, I drove to the mall and got Luna everything I could that had to do with ballet. Which was another reason why I

    EVELYN“You’re kidding!” Sophie gasped as she pulled me away from Luna’s room so we wouldn’t wake her.“I wish I was.” I sighed as I walked away from her and threw my exhausted body onto the couch. Luna was finally doing so much better, and Dr. Wilson said she could go back to school, but I wanted to put that on hold till I found out what really happened back then for her to faint, with her teacher knowing she couldn’t do such a tough dance. Luckily, she was checked on time and was able to quickly recover. After the encounter with Ashvin, I called Leo, telling him what to put in the contract and not to make any mistake of leaving any loophole. I knew Ashvin well enough to know one missed term or condition was enough for him to swallow you whole and turn the tide in his favour. I’d watched him do it for five years, and I had no intention of becoming his victim. When we got discharged, I was ready to see a pile of bills or for them to tell me my insurance couldn’t cover it and my card

  • Mr. CEO, I Came Back With Your Baby   Chapter Seventy Six

    EVELYN I promised myself years ago that Ashvin Blackwood would never see me break again. I survived the day he destroyed me without giving him the satisfaction of watching me fall apart, and yet here I was, standing in front of him with tears running down my face because apparently six years was not enough to erase the damage he had done."You thought I took the money?" My voice cracked."Evelyn, that's not what I-"“Oh, please spare me the bullshit. You pulled me in here, kissed me without my permission, and now you want to make a mockery of me. Is it fun for you? To poke at my wounds, does it make your blood rush? Wasn’t it enough to make Amanda humiliate me?”“I never asked Amanda to humiliate you.”“You’re full of shit. Ashvin, do you know that?” I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face. His head snapped to the side from shock, but I didn't care.My heart was burning, and every part of my body was on fire. I don’t know if it was the pressure from the board or the stre

    EVELYNHis familiar scent surrounded me.The warmth of his body pressed against mine, and suddenly I was twenty-five again, lying awake beside the man I loved in secret, listening to his breathing while pretending that morning would never come.He kissed me on my most sensitive spot on the side of my neck, making me moan.The sound escaped before I could stop it, and Ashvin seemed to take it as encouragement. His lips traveled slowly along the side of my neck, lingering beneath my ear before returning to the spot that always made it difficult for me to think clearly. I felt his hand tighten around my waist as though he, too, was struggling to contain the intensity of what was happening between us. His other hand moved into my hair, and tilted my head to give himself better access, I closed my eyes and let out another helpless breath and just then, his mouth returned to mine, and this time the kiss was deeper, more demanding, as though the brief distance between us had become unbearab

    EVELYNFor a moment, the words seemed to hang in the air between us, too absurd to belong in the same room where I spent years making decisions that turned Luna & Co. into the company they were now threatening to take away from me.I leaned back in my chair, studying each face around the table. They clearly came prepared for this conversation. There were no signs of hesitation, no uncomfortable shifting, no uncertainty about what they wanted. They had numbers spread across the table, documents stacked neatly in front of them, and the kind of confidence people carried when they believed they would have their way no matter what.But if they thought I would let them walk over me and take away what I built with my own hands, then they had another thing coming!So what if I was divided for a while?This was my daughter’s life we were talking about and I had no regrets.Yes we had a problem right now but that would soon be fixed! What we needed was to find the way forward out of this limbo,
