My Billionaire Husband Wants Me Back 80
Evelyn's POV“Someone sent me a threatening message,” I explain.I hear Maya exhale “yeah. Here, take a look at this” she pulls out the note and the box. She places them on Max's desk. He observes the item for a while and we watch him. After which seconds later he picks up the note. I'm guessing he read through it before looking up at me. “Do you know anyone who might have sent this?” he asks. “Her husband…ex husband” Maya answers quickly before I can say anything. So I let her have the moment. “Why would he send her this kind of message? Does he want to kill her?” Max asks.“If that man get the chance he will. The thing is he is very rich. It might be difficult to get him” Maya continues. “Is your ex husband here in New York?” Max asks. I shake my head “No. But he comes here for business once in a while” I answer. “Does he know you are pregnant?” He asks again. “Yes, he does,” I answer.“And that's why he wants her dead so that he can live on with his new woman” Maya says.

Evelyn's POV There's a note inside attached to a very small cupcake. I pick up the note to read it but Maya takes it from my hand Instantly. She reads the content out loud. Enjoy this cookie but I'll get to you.“What the heck is this? Who sent this?” she asks with a sharpened voice. “I don't know who will” I shake my head. I stand up and pace around. I mean what stupid cupcake is this? I eye the cake sitting on the coach.“Could it be Leonard?” Maya suggests. I shake my head with a sigh. I don't even know who it will be. “Could it be Clara?” “You are not safe here” Maya says and she's right. But I shake my head. “Nothing will happen. I'll just report this to the police” I say. “Let me have that,” Maya says, snatching the small box from my hand. She disappears into the kitchen and I can hear the faint clinking of something metal, maybe a drawer or cabinet. When she returns, she plumps down next to me on the couch. She takes my hand in hers, firm and grounding. When she's retur

Evelyn's POV“What was that?” I ask Maya, who shrugs as we both look in the direction the scream came from.“It's the bride!” someone shouts from across the hall.That single sentence pours fuel on the already burning chaos. Chairs scrape against the tiled floor. Voices overlap. People begin rushing like a flock of startled birds, all heading toward the same place.“Should we go and see?” Maya asks.Before I can answer, she is already moving. Curiosity always beats caution with her. I follow behind, trying to keep up as we weave through clusters of overdressed guests. The air smells like perfume, sweat, and panic.We reach a small crowd gathered outside one of the private changing rooms. Everyone is pushing forward, craning necks, whispering guesses.“I can't see anything,” I whisper to Maya.“Me too,” she answers.I rise on my tiptoes, holding my bump and stretching my neck as far as it can go. But nothing. Just backs and heads and flashing phone screens.Then Victoria’s sharp voice

Evelyn's POVShe still doesn't say anything. Seconds later, she heaves a sigh and places her hands flat on the table.“Just be careful with Lionel,” she finally says.I think for a quick second. “What do you mean? I don't get it.”Her eyes harden in a way that makes my stomach tighten. “I don't have anything else to say to you. Just be very careful with that man. He's not who you think he is.” She licks the right corner of her lips and starts packing up her things.I sit there staring at her, trying to replay every word she just dropped in my lap. None of it makes sense. Lionel and I aren't even a thing, thing. Not really. He's just been helpful. Kind. Present in a season when most people disappeared.I silently watch her fold her files and slide them into her brown leather laptop bag. She zips it up with slow precision, and I follow the movement like a nervous fan watching the last seconds of a close game.“How's your baby?” she asks suddenly.The question catches me off guard. I don

Evelyn's POV He’s in a grey T shirt and black trousers, a black face cap pulled low on his face. I start walking toward him with slow, careful steps. As I move, my heart begins to race. I glance around, hoping he’s alone. We meet halfway, right between two parked cars.“Whatever you are doing ma’am, be very careful”Those are his first words and in a low deep tone. He does not smile. His eyes move constantly, scanning the space around us like he’s afraid someone might appear out of thin air.“What is happening? Is Leonard with you? Does he want to kill me? Why should I be careful?”The questions tumble out of me before I can stop them. Fear sharpens my voice. He blinks, then looks away from me, his gaze sweeping the parking lot again before he finally faces me.“I’m alone.” He licks his lips, nervous. “Clara is looking for you. She’s not exactly sick. Mr Sinclair doesn’t know this. I’ve always known you were here but I didn’t tell anyone. Now she’s become more serious than ever. She

Evelyn’s POVThis new message is from Melissa, but my hands start to shake as I read her words. Let’s meet tomorrow. Don’t tell Lionel.I stare at the message for a while, reading it over and over again as if the letters might rearrange themselves into something less alarming. My chest feels tight, and for a second, I almost drop my phone. Why would she say that? Why would she not want me to tell Lionel?I swallow hard and type back. Why?Then I pause.No. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Maybe it’s better if I just go and hear what she wants to say to me. It could be business but I doubt. My fingers hover over the screen before I erase my question and replace it with a single word: Okay.I hit send.After that, I toss my phone on the bed and just sit there, staring at nothing. The silence in the room is thick and very much uneasy. I suddenly feel like someone’s watching me, like there’s a camera hidden somewhere, or eyes peeking through the curtains. I turn around on impulse to check, but of co
