Vincent POV

Long after I left Gabriel, I stayed in my car.

I sat in my car, my phone in my hand, Evelyn's number displayed on the screen.

This had become a routine. Every evening, I would sit with my phone in my hand, staring at her contact information, my thumb hovering over the call button. Sometimes I'd stare for close to an hour, wrestling with myself over whether I should reach out.

I would imagine what I’d say if she picked up. I would imagine what I’d say if she didn’t. I would imagine her voice—calm, guarded, tired of explaining herself to the world.

At the end of it all, I usually didn't call. And that made me more miserable than if I'd just accepted her rejection and moved on.

But I couldn't move on. Loving Evelyn Bennett had turned out to be the most difficult and the most rewarding decision of my life.

I knew her fear was understandable. Her relationship with Adrian had left deep scars. I could understand why she didn't trust easily, why she pushed people away, and why she

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 132: Betrayal confirmed.

    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

    Adrian POVMy mind was working through the pieces of this puzzle, and the picture that was forming was alarming.As a businessman, one of the things my father taught me, earlier in life and while he was still here, was: ‘Get to know whoever you’re dealing with, it’ll help you know what they’re capable of doing or not.’And there’s no way, Evelyn would intentionally set up a camera and try to slander my name or expose deep family secrets. It was just not possible.Just when I was about to find Gabriel and Vincent’s room, Joshua called me down, only to show me a video of Evelyn exposing a family secret. It was something to do with the death of my father.And as I listened to the video of the clearly drunk woman, the more I knew it could not be Evelyn. I mean, it was her face and all, but Evelyn would never do that. There were worse secrets she could have spilt and now of all times…No, it wasn’t Evelyn.A few minutes later, I’d watched Vincent and Gabriel exit the club while Joshua made
