Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and twenty four.
Eva's POV.I lingered in the shadow of the kitchen corridor, my back lightly pressed against the cold stone wall as I tried to steady my breathing. My palms were beginning to get sweaty, and my heart an uneven drum inside my chest, it was as a result of the plan brewing inside me, a risky one it is, but I have to speak to Selene. My pulse quickened whenever I thought of the consequences of her ratting me out to Aragorn, because what if her loyalty lies heavily with him since he has leverage over her? But everytime I felt that way, I reminded myself of the reason I was here: Nicklaus, our marriage, our peace, how do I achieve that without taking risks to that effect? Marisol had signaled me earlier, a quick flick of her eyes as she carried water jugs past my room. It was her subtle way of saying now’s the time. She had seen something, and I trusted her judgment. That was why I found myself here, pretending to be nothing more than a bored guest hovering around the kitchen door.I adju
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and twenty three.
Eva's POV.I adjusted my robe my shoulders, my eyes darting left and right as I moved down the shadowed passageway leading toward the estate’s outer gate. I pulled my cloak tighter, steadying my breath as I reached the gate, looking around again to make no one was watching from any corner.Thankfully, it was the gate guard, Hayden, the same one I had struck a deal with that was at the gate post, I have been more careful about coming to see him after I noticed there were others at the post too, and they all hustled between shifts; and I haven't spoken to any of them yet, none has ticked my fancy for loyalty.He sat hunched on the small wooden stool by the post. “Evening, Hayden,” I greeted in a low voice and he straightened, though not without looking startled first.“Lady Eva,” he called sternly as he panted, although respectfully. “I didn’t hear your steps, you scared me." I allowed flashed him a warm smile. "I'm sorry about that, I was being careful not to raise my voice too loud
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and twenty two.
Eva's POV.I was careful not to step too hard on the floor to make any noise as I walked along the passageway, every corner of this house had ears; I had learned that lesson early.I was halfway down the corridor when a figure slipped out from the shadows, startling me enough to draw my hand toward the dagger I kept beneath my sleeve. “My lady!” I heard a familiar voice whisper quietly.It was Marisol, the maid I had struck a deal with days ago, she looked around frantically before closing the distance between us, her hand clutching my sleeve as though her life depended on it.My heart pounded at her desperation. “What are you doing lurking like this?” I murmured sharply, glancing up and down the passage.“My lady, I... I need to tell you something,” she stammered, her voice trembling. “Something important.”I stilled her with a hand. “Not here. Do you want the walls themselves to carry your words to Aragorn’s ears? Come.”Without waiting for her response, I guided her quickly down t
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and twenty one.
Eva's POV.I wasn’t sure what pulled me outside that afternoon, instinct, perhaps, or the faint voice that had been whispering at the back of my mind since my encounter with the house maid... Pay attention to the overlooked, the servants, the guards, they see everything their masters try to hide.The estate was unnervingly quiet, though I had learned that quiet in this place was not peace. It meant chaos and secrets flying through quietly.My feet carried me toward the outer gate almost without thought, and that’s where I saw the gate guard slumped on the wooden chair like a man who had given up on life. His spear leaned lazily against the wall close to him as though it was more burden to him than being his protecting weapon.He didn’t even notice me until I cleared my throat deliberately. “Everything alright?”He flinched so hard I nearly laughed. His head snapped up, eyes wide, like someone caught stealing. “M-my lady!” He scrambled upright, fumbling to bow. “Forgive me, I… I didn’t

Eva's POV.I paced my room in circles, clutching the small recorder tightly in my palm as though my life depended on it, which it does, literally.My thumb trembled against the button as the muffled voices spilled from it, replaying everything that had transpired in the living room downstairs.My lips curled into a smile I couldn’t contain. “Got you,” I whispered to myself, pressing the recorder close to my chest. “Every last one of you.”The satisfaction swirled in my veins like fire. Finally, something concrete. Finally, proof that would bring them crashing down, even if it's not enough yet, but there's more where that came from. Nicklaus had always told me that snakes couldn’t stay in hiding forever... they always slithered into the light eventually. Now I had caught them in the open.I pressed the device off and tucked it carefully into the secret slit I had sewn into my undergarment, hidden beneath layers of fabric. Then, I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady the rush o
Rejected and Banished; The kids are his. Chapter two hundred and nineteen.
Eva's POV.Just as I walked out of my room, and descended the stairs towards the living room, my ears suddenly pricked at the sound of hushed voices drifting from the living room, it didn't sound a bit less suspicious so I slowed, careful not to betray my presence too soon, but my pulse quickened as curiosity pulled me downward. With every step, the words became clearer.But when I reached the final bend and my eyes landed on the scene before me, I almost staggered back against the wall.Sitting stiffly on one of the high-backed chairs was a man I never expected to see here, my lips parted in disbelief.Elder Magnus.One of the high council elders. One of the men meant to safeguard the packs with wisdom and neutrality. My stomach clenched at the sight of him seated in Aragorn’s living room like a conspirator caught in the act.I sucked in a breath and steadied myself. My fingers brushed beneath my shirt, pressing against the small recorder hidden in the lining. With an easy flick, I s
