Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 154: Court ruling.
Evelyn POVIt’s been three weeks since Vincent brought me home, since I'd discovered the full extent of Victoria's betrayal, since I'd begun the slow process of reclaiming my life.But today, I wasn't sure any of that mattered.I'd spent the past week listening to Isabella sob in the witness stand, claiming she would never hurt me, swearing on her dead grandmother that she had nothing to do with my kidnapping.I'd watched her attorney turn to me and suggest that perhaps I was suffering from brain damage. Perhaps the trauma of my kidnapping had caused me to imagine conspiracies that didn't exist. That perhaps I was the delusional one, not her innocent client.The evidence was circumstantial. A text message could be interpreted in multiple ways. A bank deposit could have been for something else entirely. My testimony—the only solid proof that Victoria and Isabella had been involved—was just the word of a woman who'd been kidnapped and traumatised.The court didn't care about logic. It d

Evelyn POVThe anger was growing now, a slow burn that started in my chest and radiated outward. Victoria had raised me—or rather, she'd lived in the same house as me while making my life miserable. She'd pretended to care about me while secretly hating me. She'd plotted with Isabella and Adrian to manipulate my company, and when that wasn't enough, she'd decided to sell me literally."I want to see the evidence," I said. "I want to see everything.""Evelyn—" Vincent started."No," I said, my voice sharp. "Don't protect me. Not anymore. I've been kept in the dark long enough. I want to see what Victoria did. I want to understand exactly how much she betrayed me."Vincent exchanged a look with Grace, and Belle squeezed my hand."Okay," Vincent said quietly. "But let me get you some food first. And the doctor said you need to take your medication. Then we'll go through the evidence."Over the next hour, I at

Evelyn POVVincent looked at me for a moment. I could tell he was struggling with accepting my dismissal.From the way he looked so frustrated, I could also tell he hadn’t had any better luck with Gabriel. There was no way I could tell him what went on between me and Gabriel. Not that I cared that it might change how he saw me; I just wanted to get everything over and done with.Plus, now that I have confirmed Victoria was behind my kidnapping, perhaps it was time I took the first step in proving to Victoria that I was no fool.“So, about Victoria…” I said slowly, trying to bring his attention back to our discussion.“Well, as we speak, the police have begun investigating. I don’t know how Gabriel had pulled that much influence, but apparently, they were already investigating before we came to rescue you.”“And what have they found so far?” I asked, trying to distract myself from the fact that Gabriel was once again speeding up things for me."So far, the police have found bank record

Evelyn POVVincent stayed with me the entire time. While the doctor examined me, checking for injuries, taking samples, Vincent sat beside me, holding my hand. He didn't look away or flinch as the doctor documented what he was doing."You're going to be okay," he kept saying. "You're going to be okay."When it was over, when the doctor had finished and provided me with antibiotics and pain medication and instructions for follow-up care, Vincent gave me clean clothes—a sweatshirt and pants that the doctor provided.Gabriel was waiting in the main room when we emerged.He rose to his feet immediately, and our eyes met and held for a few seconds before his shifted to seek Vincent.“How did it go? Is she fine? Does she need to be admitted?”“She’s fine,” Vincent nodded. “The doctor recommended a lot of rest and follow-up with the test that will be run. They already took the samples.”“That’s great,” Gabriel nodded. “And you don’t have to worry, this won’t leak out to the press. Now, back

Evelyn POVTime had become meaningless in this place.I didn't know if it had been four days or five days or a week since I'd been brought to this room.The darkness had a way of swallowing time, making every hour stretch into infinity. The only indication I had that days were passing was the changing of guards, the sporadic meals of stale bread and water, and the occasional shouting from somewhere in the building that suggested other people were being held here as well.I was no longer alone in my cell. Not really. There was a woman in the room next to mine—I could hear her crying through the thin walls. There were men somewhere downstairs, their voices carrying up through the floorboards. And there were the guards who came periodically to check on us, their masked faces revealing nothing.Today felt different, though. There was an energy in the building that hadn't been there before. People were moving more quickly. Conversations were more urgent. And an hour ago, I'd overheard some

Vincent POVGabriel's expression softened, and for just a moment, I saw something vulnerable in his face.“I’ve offended Evelyn deeply. I can’t even look her in the face, and I regret it a lot. I am also tired of being the man who hurts the people I care about. I truly care about Evelyn, and if I can do something to protect her, if I can make sure she gets out of this alive and safe, then maybe I can stop hating myself.”I studied him for a long moment, trying to determine if he was being truthful. But something in his eyes told me he was. Whatever flaws Gabriel Ross had—and he had many—his care for Evelyn seemed genuine."If you betray me," I said quietly, "if you do anything to jeopardize Evelyn's safety, I will make sure you pay for it. I don't care how powerful you are. I don't care how many people work for you. I will dedicate the rest of my life to making you suffer.""I would expect nothing less," Gabriel said. "And I wouldn't blame you. But I'm not going to betray you. I'm goi
