Evelyn POV

I stared at the man in front of me for the longest time, gauging his expression.

He looked hurt, and he clearly hasn’t been getting a lot of sleep from the way his eyes were sunken. Wasn’t it a lifetime ago

I’d loved Adrian so much that the mere thought of doing life without him, even when he abused me endlessly, scared me, and it had to take me coming back from the land of the dead to discover my true potential, and here, I was still playing games with him.

He still could access me. He could treat me the same way. Basically, the only thing that was different in this life was me renouncing our engagement in public; otherwise, we were like a couple madly in love who fought constantly and made up after each fight.

No wonder Adrian was still giving me commands; he thinks this is all an act and that eventually I’ll come back to him.

“Adrian,” I called out quietly, “This is inappropriate, you’re hemming me in. Move away.”

He clutched my jaw, tilting my face towards him. His eyes

    Evelyn POV“Let’s begin with the data,” he said. “We’ll start with stock volatility.”A chart lit up behind him, showing peaks and dips over the past six weeks.Gerald leaned forward, folding his hands.“Miss Bennett, since the announcement of your leadership transition, the company’s stock has shown extreme sensitivity.”I frowned slightly. “Sensitivity isn’t the same as instability.”Gerald nodded. “True. But perception drives markets more than reality.”Lilian chimed in, her voice calm but firm.“In the last month alone, your stock has dropped eight per cent, rebounded twelve, then dipped again within forty-eight hours.”“That rebound was due to the Green Valley Project,” I said. “Which I secured.”“And we acknowledge that,” the Chairman said quickly. “But investors are reacting emotionally. Every headline about you causes fluctuations.”“So the issue is not performance?” I scoffed.Lucas sighed.“Yes, markets don’t wait for emotions to calm down, Evelyn. They punish uncertainty.”

    Evelyn POVBy the time I reached the office, my heart was already racing.I barely made it past the revolving doors before I saw Grace standing rigid at the reception desk, her tablet clutched to her chest like a shield. She looked like she was on the verge of a panic attack.Instantly, I knew something was wrong.“Grace,” I said, quickening my steps. “What’s going on?”"Thank God you're here," she said, grabbing my arm.That alone made my stomach sink.“What happened?” I asked.She leaned in, lowering her voice. "The board arrived almost an hour ago.” I blinked. “What?”“They came in without notice. There was no memo, or schedule update, nothing. I thought I’d missed an email, but no, they didn’t send anything. I don't know why they came early or why they didn't call to warn you. They went straight into the fifth-floor conference hall and locked it down. They haven't answered my greetings and rejected my offer of refreshment. Something is very wrong."I felt the blood drain from my

    Gabriel POVI stood and watched until Evelyn’s car disappeared from my sight.I was so hard.It had taken me all the restraints I could muster not to unleash my want on Evelyn. I wanted her to come to me, not the other way around, and everyone knows I do not force women. Yet, I was desperate to get to the bottom of what was going on.I sighed and walked back to the private room, taking my position on the chair in the corner. I picked up my phone, stared at the picture Evelyn had spent time staring at, and placed it on my thigh.It was Rowan’s picture.I’d seen the way recognition had flashed through her eyes when she saw the picture. And then this uncanny resemblance between I and Rowan. This wasn’t the first time.Whenever I meet random people, the first thing they always ask is whether we're brothers. For years, I’d dismissed it with a chuckle or a joke about how Rowan was my soul mate, but recently, people began mentioning it more often.Two people could look alike, but their habit

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 110: The private conversation II

    Evelyn POVI followed Gabriel to the private room like a sheep to a slaughterhouse.At this point, my brain was jumping with anticipation at the promise of whatever Gabriel had mentioned, and I could barely function. There was no part of me telling me to turn back, too. I wanted to experience it all.When we got to the private room, my heart raced with anticipation as we stepped inside and he closed the door behind us. I heard the soft click of the lock, and my anticipation grew.The room was dimly lit, and I could barely make out the shape of the furniture. Gabriel flicked on a small lamp on a nightstand, illuminating the space enough for me to see. It was cosy, with a large bed that took up most of the floor space. I watched as Gabriel leaned against the wall, his gaze fixed on me.For a moment, we stared at each other, the tension between us palpable. Then, he stepped forward and began to undo the buttons on my blouse. My breath hitched as he exposed more of my skin to the cool air

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 109: The private conversation.

    Evelyn POV"You look different," he said, sitting back down across from me. "More at peace, maybe. Or less stressed. I'm not sure which.""I just had a difficult conversation with my stepmother and stepbrother," I said, deciding to be honest. "But I think I needed to have it. Some boundaries have been set since this shenanigan with the company, but I had to reinforce them again because cracks were becoming visible. I won’t bore you.”Gabriel nodded approvingly. "Good. Boundaries are important. People will walk all over you if you let them."A waiter appeared, and Gabriel ordered for both of us—a light salad for me and something more substantial for him. He'd clearly anticipated that I might still be recovering and needed easy-to-digest food."I wanted to meet with you because I have some information," Gabriel said once the waiter had left. "About the bombing."My heart rate picked up. "You found out who did it?""Not yet," Gabriel said, and I heard frustration in his voice. "But I'm v

    Evelyn POV“Yes. Stand beside a man. Adrian is still pursuing you. That alone should tell you something.”"A friend of mine casually mentioned that you've been offending a lot of key players in the business space in Crescent Harbour," she continued, moving closer to my bed. "She thinks it might have been a business rival who did this to you. You know how dangerous it is for a woman to be running a company alone.""I'm not alone," I said quietly."But you could have support," Victoria said, her voice taking on that cajoling tone that made me want to scream. "Adrian is still pursuing you, you know. Despite everything, he still wants you back. That shows true love, Evelyn. A man willing to forgive and move forward. His heart still belongs to you."I felt my face flush with anger at the mention of Adrian’s name."I thought you'd found a perfect replacement for me," I said coldly, interrupting her. "Emma or whatever her name is."Victoria's face colored with embarrassment. "That's not the
