Eva's POV.

Once Nicklaus left the house, I quickly dressed up and headed out.

I walked through the long hallway that led down to the dungeons, my heart thrummed with a strange mixture of excitement and calm. It wasn’t vengeance I carried inside me, because it isn't time for that yet, for now, it was reminder to them that the truth always finds its way to light no matter how long it takes, because I'm so certain that they have a hand in everything that has happened, Aragorn couldn't have been alone.

This is also a visit of mockery, for the jabs they threw at me during my little stay in the dungeon; They thought they'd won.

If only the know what they've ignited in me, I'm not resting until I find a way to put an end to them; my plans were already hatching, behind Nicklaus's back ofcourse, because he won't let me go ahead with it if he ever finds out.

Just as I neared the last bend before the steps leading down to the dungeon, a figure suddenly appeared from the opposite corridor. At fi

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and twelve.

    Eva's POV.I laid sprawled across the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling; sleep had become distant from me ever since I stepped into Aragorn’s house... Lady Tory’s words from this morning played on a loop inside my head, relentlessly like daggers thrown at the same wound over and over again.“You have a secret.” “You’ll wish you never tried this.”Her voice clung to u tightly, how hard I tried to push it off. I sat up, rubbed at my temples, and tried to steady my breathing, I couldn’t afford to let her suspicion shake me, not when I had come this far, every second I stayed in this house was a risk, and yet, the evidence I was searching for, the leverage I needed to bring Aragorn down, it was worth every gamble. Then came a sudden knock.I froze, my pulse hitching before I scrambled off the bed. I smoothed down my dress, checked my reflection quickly in the mirror by the corner, and only then went to the door.When I opened it, Aragorn stood there, his expression unreadable.“Eva,

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and eleven.

    Eva's POV.I barely slept through the night.The bed I laid on was soft, yet it felt like a prison made to trap me in; the walls of Aragorn’s house held a terrifying stillness that suffocated me no matter how many times I shifted on the sheets. I missed the warmth of Nicklaus’s presence, even in our coldest nights, even when silence was the only thing between us, there was something alive in the air that reminded me I was home. Here, there was nothing but emptiness and the echo of my own thoughts.I kept rolling from side to side, pulling the blanket up and tossing it off again. My chest felt heavy with secrets. I knew why I was here, I had made this choice. I had walked away from the man I love and the home I built with him to play this dangerous game, but knowing it didn’t make it easier, my eyes stung from the tears I had let out last night, yet sleep refused to claim me.At dawn, I must have finally drifted off, but only briefly, because the faintest sound startled me awake; a kno

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and ten.

    Eva's POV. My hands trembled as I stuffed what little I could carry into a small bag, just a few clothes, nothing much... because I didn’t have the heart to take more. Every dress, every scarf, every necklace in this house felt like a memory, a thread tied to Nicklaus. And pulling too many of those threads out would make me fall apart completely.I needed to hold strong and avoid any setbacks at this moment. I slung the bag over my shoulder and wiped my cheeks for the hundredth time. My tears refused to stop flowing, dripping down my chin, dampening the collar of my dress, as though my soul itself was leaking out.I opened the door cautiously, praying he wouldn’t be there anymore, my heart pounded when I peered out... thankfully, the hallway was empty.“Oh, thank goodness,” I muttered under my breath, though my heart ached at the thought of him finally given up knocking. And just like that, I left my matrimonial home behind.Every step I took away from that house broke something in

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and nine.

    Eva's POV.I barely made it up the steps when my heart sank. Nicklaus was there.Not by our room, but standing right in front of the guest room door like he knew that was exactly where I was going to come to. His arms were folded across his chest, his eyes darker than night, and his whole body radiated exhaustion. I froze, my hand instinctively tightening around the small scarf I had draped across my shoulders. For one brief second, I considered turning around and pretending I had forgotten something downstairs, but he had already seen me.“Eva,” he said softly, his voice breaking. “Finally… you’re home.”I pressed my lips together, steeling my heart. “Nicklaus, I’m tired, please, just let me get some sleep.”He shook his head, stepping closer, desperation written in every line of his face. “I’ve been waiting here all evening… just to talk to you, even if it’s for a few seconds. Please... don’t shut me out again.”I turned toward the door and rested my hand on the knob. “I’m not shu

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and eight.

    Eva's POV.I had barely slept the previous night, my mind was torn between so many things that it felt like the weight of a thousand stones was pressing down on my chest... Nicklaus’s desperate pleading still echoed in my ears, and my plans with Aragorn.As much as I hated even setting my eyes on him, a small, dangerous part of me knew that I needed him... I needed him for what I was planning.We had arranged to meet the next day, and once I noticed Nicklaus leave the house, I quickly ran out.My heart was pounding, but I forced a calm smile to my lips as I approached the bastard.“There you are,” he said with a slow grin as he stepped towards me too, his eyes gleamed like a predator’s, cold and full of hatred. “I was beginning to think you’d changed your mind, Eva.”I folded my arms across my chest, making sure my expression stayed neutral. “If I said I changed my mind, I wouldn’t be standing here, would I?”He chuckled and came closer. “Good point. But I still can’t trust you... not

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter two hundred and seven.

    Eva's POV.By the time I got back to the house, my feet felt heavier than my body, every step up the front porch carried not just my extremely tired self but the burden of my thoughts. Aragorn’s words still rang in my head, and though I almost felt bad for even entertaining him, a part of me couldn’t deny the strange sense of control I’d felt in that moment. I had handed him exactly what he wanted to hear, but at the same time, I was crafting my own game.I just prayed Nicklaus wouldn’t be inside the room already; my heart wasn’t strong enough for another round of his questions, his pleading eyes, or his unrelenting persistence. I needed a moment to breathe... alone. I needed to bathe, to scrub away the pain, the lies, the sadness, and everything else weighing down on me.But fate was rarely on my side.The moment I stepped into the room, my heart sank. He was there.Nicklaus stood in the middle of the room, pacing back and forth, his hand was raking through his hair, his lips moving
