• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 213

  Evelyn's POV“Evelyn, a woman who was nearly dragged into the woods by a stranger does not owe anyone strength, and she certainly doesn't owe anyone a performance where she immediately acts as though everything is fine, so if you're scared right now, if you're hurting, if you're angry, if you're overwhelmed, or if you feel like your legs can barely hold you up, then that's not weakness—that's a normal response to something terrifying that never should have happened to you in the first place.”I stared at him.For a moment, I couldn't say anything.The tears came before I even realized they were there, sliding down my face with such sudden force that I couldn't stop them, because what Julian had said struck something I hadn't allowed myself to acknowledge since the moment that man grabbed me.The truth was that I had been trying to look okay from the beginning.I had been trying to look okay in front of Maddie when I sat by the campfire and pretended I was handling everything better th

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 212

  Evelyn's POV“Evelyn.”The moment his eyes landed on me, he closed the distance between us without the slightest hesitation and pulled me into his arms, and the change in his voice was so immediate and so dramatic that it almost felt unreal, because the man who had looked ready to kill someone only seconds earlier suddenly sounded shaken in a way I had never heard before.“Come here.”His arms tightened around me as though he needed physical proof that I was still standing in front of him.“Let me look at you.”I stood there without moving.Only now, only after everything was over and only after Julian was here, did I realize how cold my body had become, because the fear that adrenaline had been suppressing for the last several minutes was finally beginning to break through the surface, leaving me trembling uncontrollably despite the fact that the danger was gone.Julian had already stepped back just enough to look at me properly.“Tell me he didn't hurt you.”His eyes moved quickly a

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 211

  Evelyn's POVThe fear still hadn't fully left my body.My legs were trembling so badly that I could barely feel them, and every breath still seemed to scrape painfully against my lungs, but instinct overrode everything else, sending me stumbling forward before I had time to think as I grabbed hold of Julian's arm with both hands.“That's enough!”My voice cracked.“Julian, stop!”His chest was rising and falling violently.He didn't look at me.Didn't answer.Didn't even seem to hear me.His gaze remained fixed on the man sprawled across the dirt, and there was something in that expression that made my stomach tighten all over again, because I had absolutely no doubt that if this weren't a public campground, if people weren't already running toward the commotion, if there weren't witnesses and cameras and consequences waiting just outside the darkness, Julian might genuinely beat this man until he needed a hospital.The man on the ground sucked in painful breaths through bloodied lips

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 210

  Evelyn's POVAt that exact moment, a dark figure burst out from the side.Before I could even react, before I could fully process what was happening, a sickening impact split through the darkness, the kind of heavy, violent collision that seemed to shake the air itself, and the man holding me was suddenly ripped away with such overwhelming force that it looked as though he'd been struck by a speeding truck.His grip disappeared instantly.His body left the ground.And then he crashed into the wooden fence beside the trail so hard that the entire structure rattled from the impact, while his scream arrived a fraction of a second too late, delayed by pure shock.I stumbled backward, nearly losing my footing as I sucked in a desperate breath, my lungs burning from panic and exertion, my pulse hammering wildly against my ribs while adrenaline flooded through every nerve in my body.For a moment, everything seemed unreal.And then I saw him.The figure had already stepped between us, placing

  Evelyn'POV“I knew you'd come out here alone.”The man let out a low laugh, and the sound sent a wave of revulsion crawling across my skin because there was something deeply wrong about how pleased he sounded, as though this entire situation had unfolded exactly the way he'd hoped it would.“Girls like you are always the same,” he continued, his breath hot against my ear while he effortlessly countered every attempt I made to break free. “You think you're smart. You think you can handle everything yourself.”As he spoke, he absorbed my resistance with infuriating ease, the way an adult might restrain a child throwing a tantrum, and the casualness of it terrified me far more than if he had seemed angry. I drove my elbow backward again, harder this time, putting my full weight behind the strike, and when the point of my elbow finally connected with his ribs, I felt him flinch and heard a sharp grunt escape his throat.For one brief second, hope surged through me.It vanished immediately

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 208

  Evelyn's POVThe farther I walked, the quieter everything became.The laughter.The music.The conversations.One by one they disappeared into the distance until only the forest remained.The restroom itself was brightly lit in the least flattering way imaginable, flooded with harsh white light that made everyone look exhausted, and after washing my face and staring at my reflection for longer than necessary, I finally pushed the door open and stepped back outside.The night had grown quieter while I was inside.The air felt colder.The wind had picked up.For a brief moment, I simply stood there beneath the glow of the exterior light, taking a breath before making my way back toward camp.And then a tremendous force crashed into me from behind.My mind never even had the opportunity to understand what was happening before my body reacted on pure instinct, every muscle locking tight as a large hand clamped brutally over my mouth while another arm hooked around my shoulders and upper body,

  Evelyn's POV“No,” Dean corrected smugly, already unbuckling his seatbelt, “if you really knew, you wouldn’t have slowed down in the first place.”And annoyingly enough, he was right.By the time the car rolled to a stop along the curb, I still hadn’t fully processed what direction this situation w

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 133

  Evelyn's POVThe neighborhood felt completely different at night.Quieter.Softer somehow.Streetlights spilled warm pools of gold across rows of low suburban houses while passing headlights swept over driveways and fences in slow flashes, tree shadows stretching and shrinking across the pavement l

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 132

  Evelyn's POV“Hey!” Julian immediately shot back, kicking Dean lightly in the leg from the couch. “Why don’t you focus on controlling your boyfriend when he gets drunk and starts provoking random mafia-looking men? I’m still the one who has to call people to bail him out afterward.”“That happened

• One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 131

  Evelyn's POV“Well,” I said carefully, trying very hard to keep my voice emotionally neutral despite the increasingly vivid mental image forming in my head, “I’m assuming the lemon tree didn’t answer you.”“No,” Frank said calmly. “But the dog did.”I blinked.“The dog?”“Yep,” Dean jumped in immed
