Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 215: The call
Evelyn POVBiscuit was licking the tears off my chin when the phone rang.I was still on the hallway floor, back against the front door, legs pulled up, my bag in my lap, and the puppy in my arms.I didn't know how long I'd been sitting there. I’d lost motivation to go to the office today but long enough for the morning light to shift from pale gold to something brighter and less forgiving.Long enough for my legs to go numb against the cold tile. Long enough to replay Vincent's face, the defeat in it, the quiet way he'd asked me to leave, and to feel the guilt settle into my body.The phone rang again and I almost didn't answer because I thought it would be Grace calling to know why I wasn’t at the office yet. I'd hit my quota for devastating conversations before noon, and the idea of hearing another human voice ask me something that required an emotional response made me want to crawl under the sofa and stay there until spring.But it might be Vincent. It might be him calling to say

Adrian POVI sat down. Buttoned my jacket. Adjusted my tie. Moved the Calloway report from the centre of my desk to the top drawer, face down, beneath a stack of quarterly summaries. Then I reconsidered, pulled it back out, and placed it in the drawer beneath my chair where it couldn't be seen from any angle in the room.I composed myself and waited.I put the phone face down on the desk.Finally, the elevator chimed and the doors slid open ushering Isabella into my office. She wore white. A fitted sheath dress, sleeveless, cut to just above the knee. Her dark hair was pulled back in a chignon so precise it looked architectural, and her makeup was the kind of minimal that took forty-five minutes to achieve. She carried a small clutch in one hand. No phone. No bag. Nothing extraneous.She'd come light. Which meant she'd come ready.Her eyes swept the room the way they always did, quick, cataloguing, measuring the distance between furniture, the placement of objects, the things that we

Adrian POVThe thought lasted approximately six seconds before I felt sick.Because I could see it clearly and with strategic clarity that had made me excellent at business and terrible at being human. I could see the path: Evelyn devastated, leaning on me, the grief creating a proximity that my own efforts hadn't managed. I could see her turning to me in the absence of Gabriel, not because she loved me but because I was standing in the space he'd left behind, and proximity is a powerful thing when you're drowning.I could see all of it, and the fact that I could see it meant I couldn't do it.It wasn’t because I was noble. I wasn't. I was a man who'd spent decades treating people like variables in an equation, and the reflex to optimize outcomes was so deeply wired that I'd calculated the strategic benefit of a man's death before my second cup of coffee. That wasn't nobility. That was pathology.But the thing growing inside me, the unnamed feeling that kept me awake and made me resi

Adrian POVThe report landed on my desk at eleven forty-seven, buried between a quarterly earnings summary and a briefing on the Bangria corridor project, and it took me approximately four seconds to understand that the rest of my day had just been rewritten.Calloway had compiled it. It was two pages and had zero embellishment. My head of intelligence had spent fifteen years at K16 before deciding the private sector paid better and asked fewer questions, and he wrote the way he thought. It was clean, verified, stripped of anything that wasn't essential.07:38 local time. Multiple coordinated strikes on the Ross compound, Highfields district, Bangria. Estimated three to four firing positions. Sniper-grade weaponry. Attack duration: approximately fourteen minutes. Ross security team engaged. Compound sustained significant structural damage.07:52 local time. Two-vehicle convoy associated with Rowan Brice approached from the south. Convoy intercepted by unknown third-party force before

Third-person POV"What is this?" Hart asked."This is the next phase." Margaret closed the folder. "Bennett Holdings is about to enter a period of rapid expansion. Green Valley Phases Three through Ten. New investors. New contractors. New partnerships. Evelyn is scaling faster than her infrastructure can support, and she doesn't realise it yet because the revenue from Phases One and Two is masking the underlying strain."She tapped the folder."In approximately three months, Bennett Holdings will face a liquidity crisis. Not because the company is failing, but because the pace of expansion will outstrip its cash reserves. Contractor payments will come due before investor capital is fully deployed. The Green Valley schedule will slip. Phase Three will overrun its budget. And Evelyn, who has just removed six experienced employees from her organisation and is operating with a depleted senior team, will find herself managing a crisis with fewer resources than she needs.""You're going to

Third-person POVMargaret closed her eyes, just for a moment. When she opened them, the pleasant, composed expression she'd walked in with was gone. What remained was colder, sharper, and infinitely more dangerous."That was careless, Gregory.""I was being fired. I wasn't thinking strategically.""No. You weren't." She stood and walked to the window, pulling the curtain aside an inch. Light fell across her face, illuminating the fine lines around her eyes and the set of her jaw. She looked out at the street below for a long moment, then let the curtain fall."Let me tell you something," she said, her back still to him. "Because I think you've lost sight of what we're doing here, and I need you to understand it clearly before we proceed."She turned."I have spent the better part of six years engineering a specific outcome. Not a business outcome, Gregory. A personal one. My son, Adrian, is going to marry Evelyn Bennett. That is the objective. That has always been the objective. Every

Evelyn POVI stared at him, wondering if this conversation was happening. The sheer audacity of Adrian to call me a cheating partner when that was all he did in our three-year relationship.“And Isabella is your sister?” I fired back. “How dare you, Adrian? How dare you accuse me of cheating when t

Evelyn POVWe drove to a quiet bar in downtown Crescent HarbourIt was an upscale bar but intimate. Gabriel ordered whiskey for himself and a glass of wine for me. We sat in a corner booth, away from the main bar area.“I thought we were going to a more closed-off space,” I commented looking around

Isabella POVI sighed in relish as the masseuse found a stress point and slathered oil on it, then gently rubbed his hands.I could feel all my stress evaporating from his touch.“You’re so good, Dave!” I murmured, sinking further into the softness of the bed.After weeks of planning, I deserved th

Evelyn POVI 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
