Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 133: The trap sprung.
Evelyn POVIf Isabella wanted to humiliate me, she had chosen the wrong woman to do it quietly.Evelyn Bennett did not do quiet, humiliation anymore.I took a deep breath in the back of my car, looking at my reflection in the compact mirror one last time.Isabella wanted to humiliate me. She wanted me to serve drinks at her birthday party, as if I were beneath her, and everyone there.Fine.If she wanted to make a fool of me, I might as well do it in style.The serving uniform she'd sent was a basic black dress with a white apron—the kind of thing you'd see at any upscale restaurant. But I'd had a tailor work on it, and now it was something entirely different.The dress was cut short, hitting mid-thigh instead of knee-length. The neckline had been lowered to reveal just enough cleavage to be interesting without being outright scandalous. The back was completely open, showing the smooth expanse of my skin. And the white apron had been tailored to accentuate my waist, drawing attention

Gabriel POVI arrived at my compound and immediately began preparingRowan was part of the top 10 hit men in Bangria. If he showed up at my house, then I would take it as a sign that he wanted to do two things. Number one: kill me and take over. Number two: make peace, and things would go back to normal.Bottom’s line is, I’d trained my entire life to anticipate threats and see danger before it materialises, and right now, every instinct I had was screaming that Rowan was far more dangerous than I’d initially believed.The fact that I couldn’t find anything about him, aside from the basic things that were already available, meant that details about Rowan’s life before he joined us were unknown.Which was strange.Because most of the people who make up a gang in every mafia family either had criminal records they were running away from, or they had been part of a smaller, local gang before they were recruited.Rowan was none of this.There was no information about his family, and the o

Gabriel POVI parked at the hotel and led Evelyn inside. The restaurant was visible from the entrance, and I could see Rowan sitting at a table near the window, eating lunch alone.I guided Evelyn to a position where she could see him clearly without being obvious about it. I kept my hand on the small of her back, a protective gesture that was as much for my benefit as it was for hers.I watched her face carefully as she looked at Rowan. I saw the moment recognition flickered in her eyes. Not immediate recognition, but something. A sense of familiarity."That man," she said quietly. "The one sitting by the window. He was... he was at the cafe. He was the one who brushed past me on my way in and smelled a certain way."My entire body went rigid. She'd recognised him. After all this time, after all my suspicions, Evelyn had just confirmed what I'd been terrified to believe.Rowan Brice. My right-hand man. My most trusted advisor. The man who'd stood beside me through countless battles a

Gabriel POVI took a deep breath and dialled another number after finishing my conversation with Evelyn. The question I was about to ask had been burning in my mind for weeks, but I'd been hesitant to voice it. Now, however, hesitation was a luxury I could no longer afford.Dax answered on the first ring. "Boss.""Where was Rowan on the day of Evelyn's car explosion?" I asked without preamble.There was a pause on the other end. A long one. Long enough that I knew Dax understood the weight of the question."I... I remember he wasn't around," Dax said slowly. "When he came back, he had this wild look in his eyes. Like he'd been running or something. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that you're asking...""Now you think it means something," I finished for him."Boss, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Dax asked, his voice dropping.I didn't respond to that. Instead, I asked, "Where is Rowan now?"So, a few days ago, Dax had called to inform me that Rowan was makin

Evelyn POVThree days.It had been three days since I woke up in the hospital with no memory of how I got there. Three days since I learned about the video. Three days of damage control and media spin, and trying to piece together what had actually happened to Belle and me.Now I sat in my office with Belle beside me, recounting the events of that night to a Detective. Adrian stood in the corner, his presence a constant reminder that nothing I said would be believed if it contradicted his version of reality."We'd booked a karaoke room," Belle was saying, her voice steady despite the tremor I could see in her hands. "Just the two of us initially. Some of my friends were supposed to meet us later. We were having a good time, just singing, laughing. And then I needed to use the ladies' room.""How long were you gone?" The Detective asked, his pen poised over his notebook."I don't know, maybe thirty seconds?" Belle said, looking at me for confirmation. I nodded. "When Belle didn't come

Adrian POVI turned to the manager, who was eyeing us warily. “You see, turns out I wasn’t the only one who got the call. He did, too, and I’m sensing the last person coming towards us also received the call. Evelyn is in the VIP room. Take us there, or else…”The words were barely out of my mouth when Gabriel brushed past me, walking towards the elevator that led to the VIP rooms. The manager immediately followed him.“Excuse me, sir, you can’t just…”“Listen to me, good man,” Gabriel stopped just enough to give him a pat on the head. “I am no citizen of this shithole city, but if I ever come to your establishment, politely requesting access and you delay me, I promise you won’t go home with all your body parts. Now, would you move, or do you want me to make true your wishes?”The manager stuttered; his face had gone white with fear. Vincent broke into a sprint, catching up with Gabriel while I followed suit. Soon, we were stuck in an elevator, heading to whatever floor Gabriel was g
