Evelyn POV

I walked into my office like a ghost, moving without purpose or direction. I didn’t really know how my feet were moving.

The hallway felt longer than usual. It was quieter, every sound was muted, as if the building itself had decided to hold its breath.

When I reached my office, I didn’t bother walking to my desk; I walked straight to the couch by the window and sat down, staring at nothing.

My company, my father’s legacy, the thing I’d fought so hard to save was gone. It wasn’t lost

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 184: Good morning, trouble.

    Evelyn POVHe was small enough to fit in both my hands, a ball of soft, golden-brown fur with floppy ears too big for his head and paws too big for his body. He had a black button nose, a white patch on his chest vaguely shaped like a lopsided heart, and a face that could end wars and bankrupt pet stores. He looked up at me with those ridiculous brown eyes, tail wagging so hard his entire back half wiggled, and let out a yip so tiny and so earnest that something inside my chest cracked wide open."Oh my God," I whispered.He launched himself at me. All four paws left the ground in a scramble of uncoordinated enthusiasm, and he landed against my chest, immediately licking my chin with a tongue that was warm and wet and roughly the size of a postage stamp. His tail was a blur. His whole body vibrated with joy, as if being held by a bare-footed woman in an oversized sweatshirt was the single greatest event of his short life.I'd always wanted a pet, but in between learning to become Isab

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 183: The morning surprise.

    Evelyn POVI was so tired.Not just physically, though every muscle in my body ached with dull, persistent pain of sustained stress. My soul was tired from fighting on every front simultaneously and never having a moment where someone wasn't asking me to be strong, to make a decision, to carry something, to fix something, to forgive something.I wanted to call someone. The impulse rose in me like a reflex, and I reached for my phone before I'd even decided who I wanted to hear.Gabriel, who would tell me I was right and offer to handle Damien in ways I didn't want to think about.Vincent, who would listen without judging, make me tea, and not say anything until I was ready to talk.Adrian, who would have already known about Damien's visit and would have something strategic and infuriatingly useful to say about it.Three numbers. Three men. Three different versions of comfort, each one tangled up in complications I didn't have the energy to navigate tonight.I put the phone down.Inste

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 182: Brutal conversations

    Evelyn POVDamien's face crumbled.His chin trembled, his eyes welled up, his shoulders sagged forward until he was hunched over the breakfast bar with his head in his hands."She's my mother," he whispered."And she was supposed to be mine too." The words came out before I could stop them, carrying a weight I hadn't expected. "When she married my father, she stood in our living room and told me she would love me like her own. She said we were a family. She said I'd never be alone again."I could hear the twelve-year-old girl in my own voice, and I hated it. I hated that Victoria could still reach that deep, could still find the scared, motherless child inside me who had wanted so desperately to be loved that she'd believed a stranger's promises."But we were never a family, Damien. I was an asset to be managed. A stepping stone to my father's money and the Whitmore name. Victoria never loved me. She never even pretended to love me when there weren't witnesses around. And you..." I lo

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 181: Never Family II

    Evelyn POVThe words washed over me, melting my heart for a second, and it was not because they were true, but because of how desperately he believed them. Damien genuinely thought Victoria was a good person who'd made mistakes. He genuinely believed that the woman who'd orchestrated my kidnapping, who'd embezzled millions from my father's company, who'd used Bennett Holdings as a front for drug distribution, was simply a flawed mother who deserved mercy.That was the tragedy of Damien Bennett. Not that he was evil. He wasn't. He was something almost worse. He was wilfully blind, so thoroughly shaped by Victoria's manipulation that he couldn't see her clearly even when the evidence was stacked to the ceiling."Come inside," I said.He blinked, surprised. "Really?""I'm not having this conversation on my front kerb."I unlocked the gate and walked up the short path to my front door, Damien trailing behind me like a reluctant dog being led to the vet. The townhouse was dark inside. I fli

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 180: Never family

    Evelyn POVGrace pulled up to the front gates of my townhouse at exactly seven forty-five, the sky already darkened to a deep indigo with the last stubborn streak of sunset clinging to the horizon like it didn't want to let go. I knew the feeling."Are you sure you don't want me to come in?" Grace asked, her hands still on the steering wheel, her eyes scanning my face with scrutiny she'd been deploying since we'd left the office. "I can stay. Order food. Help you go through the flash drive. I don't have anywhere to be tonight.""Grace, you've been at work since seven this morning. Go home. Take a bath. Watch something terrible on television. I'll be fine. Besides, no one knows I'll be here. I had to leave the mansion for this place to avoid unnecessary eyes and for security concerns."She didn't look convinced, but she knew me well enough to know that pushing would only make me dig in harder. "Call me if you need anything. I mean it. Anything. Even if it's midnight.""I will.""You won

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 179: The anonymous tip.

    Evelyn POVI opened my mouth. Then I closed it.Because the truth was, I did have an idea. A quiet, persistent idea that had been forming in the back of my mind since Morales first said the words "anonymous tip." An idea that made my stomach tighten and my pulse quicken, and my feelings tangle into a knot I couldn't begin to untangle.But I wasn't ready to say it out loud. Not here and not yet."No," I said. "I don't."Morales studied me for a moment, then nodded. "If anything comes to mind, you have my card."He walked us out.The evening air hit my face as we pushed through the station's front doors, cool and tinged with salt from the harbour. The sun was setting behind the skyline, painting the clouds in streaks of copper and pink. It was the kind of sunset that looked like it belonged on a postcard, completely at odds with the heaviness sitting in my chest.Belle linked her arm through mine as we walked toward the parking lot."Drugs, Evelyn," she said quietly. "That woman was run

    Evelyn POV"It's not nice meeting you again," I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest. My anger was finally breaking through the shock of seeing him. "You stole my money after I saved you. I literally risked my life for you, and you stole from me."“What are you doing here by the way? To steal m

    Evelyn POVI took a deep breath and adjusted the straps of my emerald green gown. The dress hugged my curves perfectly, the colour bringing out the richness of my skin. I'd chosen it, hoping that leaning into my femininity would make the crowd go easy on me tonight.I stared at my relfection in the

    Evelyn POVThe river was quiet tonight.The water flowed slowly, catching bits of light from the lamps behind us. Vincent had parked his car close to the edge, and we sat on the hood of his car, allowing the cool air to brush softly against my skin, calming the tightness that had lived in my chest
