LOGINEVANGELINE
By the time he was done with his rant, he seemed so proud of himself, as if coming to cook for me was going to make everything better, as if it would erase the years of embarrassment.
“No!” I said sharply.
He stepped back as if I’d slapped him. “Excuse me? Did you just-”
“Yes, I said no. Do you want me to say it again?” I snapped. “I don’t want you in my home and I don’t want you near my life. I am done tolerating all of your bullshit. You have made it clear time and time again that you don’t give a fuck about me or this mating.”
He sighed deeply. “You’re being dramatic-”
Oh, I’d show him dramatic.
“I want an open marriage.” I declared and he went deathly silent. “You are having your fun with Margaret. It is only right that I get to go out and explore too. Goddess knows you aren’t interested
EVANGELINEI agreed to the dinner when I realized that Alex would be taking me to the same place Nicholas was allegedly having his meeting.It was a desperate attempt on my part but I hoped that Alex was lying and Nicholas hadn’t returned because if he had then the truth was glaringly obvious… he didn’t care as much as I thought he did.

While she was unconscious, I went over every document, every finding, and with each word I read, my heart sank lower into a pit of despair. T
EVANGELINEMy brows knitted in confusion. “Car accident?”He nodded. “Just think a little, it’ll come to you.”Sixteen years ago was when my parents died. Most of my memories from that year had faded to the back of my mind, but I did as he asked and I tried to remember. I’d nearly given up when
EVANGELINEJust as I’d accepted my fate, I felt Alex clamp onto my shirt from the back.I screamed, my lungs quickly filling with smoke as I was thrown high in the air. I braced myself for impact on the hard concrete floor, but to my surprise, I landed on soft fur. I barely had time to grab onto him when he began
EVANGELINEAlex’s eyes landed on mine immediately and I saw as relief washed over his features.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel relieved as well. I’d never thought that he would be the one to come for me, after all, he’d never made me a priority before. Seeing him though, it gave me a sense of hope.
