Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 93: The wait II
Vincent POVThis was not an accident, nor was it a coincidence. Someone had deliberately planted a bomb in her car with the intent to kill her.And I didn't even know why or who would want to hurt her like this.Adrian started pacing again, and I could see his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides."Do you know who did this?" I asked Gabriel, looking up at him."No," Gabriel said. "But I have my people investigating. We'll find out.""Was it your enemies?" I asked, anger creeping into my voice. "Did you bring this down on her?"Gabriel stared at me for a few seconds.“Mr Hayes, why are you speaking to me so casually? Do we know each other?” He asked, giving me a cold smile.“We know each other’s names, that’s enough introduction. This is happening a few days after Evelyn had breakfast with you. Didn’t you get into a squabble with…”“Wait!” Adrian interrupted me, walking to where we stood. His gaze was on Gabriel, whose brow was arched in amusement. “You already had breakfast wi

Vincent POVI was halfway through reviewing a shipment manifest when a knock sounded on my door.“Come in,” I said, still scanning the numbers on the page.The door opened, and I raised my head to see my secretary walking in. She had a strange expression on her face.“What’s up?”"Have you seen the latest news?" she replied instead, her voice was tight.I shook my head and looked up from my papers. "What happened?"She didn’t say anything, she just dropped her tablet in front of me without a word and turned the screen toward me.I froze.The headline was in bold letters across the screen: "Bennett CEO Evelyn Bennett in Critical Condition After Car Explosion - Suspected Bomb."For a moment, I couldn’t process the words. I read the lines over and over again, trying to understand what they meant. My chest felt hollow like all the air had been sucked out at once.“What?” I breathed. My hands shook as I picked up the tablet and read the article."Evelyn Bennett, CEO of Bennett Corporation

Adrian POVThe drive to the hospital felt endless. Every second felt like an eternity. Images kept flashing through my mind—Evelyn hurt, Evelyn unconscious, Evelyn...No. I couldn't think like that. She was going to be okay. She had to be okay.Just as we pulled into the hospital parking lot, an ambulance was pulling up to the emergency entrance.I saw her being wheeled out on a stretcher.Even from a distance, I could see that she was severely hurt. Her clothes were torn and singed. Her face was pale. There was blood all over her face.Doctors and nurses were already waiting, moving into action the moment the ambulance doors opened.I jumped out of the car before Gabriel had even stopped it. I ran toward Evelyn, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest."I'm Adrian Whitmore," I said urgently to the paramedic who was still accompanying the stretcher. "I'm her emergency contact.""Come with us," the paramedic said, waving me along as they wheeled Evelyn toward

Adrian POVI was furious.How dare Gabriel Ross?Gabriel Ross had the audacity to ask me about Evelyn. To sit across from me and inquire what she loved most in the world. He was making a move on her. The sheer audacity was driving me crazy. I'd spent months trying to get Evelyn back, and now this mafia boss thought he could waltz in and claim her.I wasn't going to let that happen.I was using the last scrap of restraint I had to keep my expression neutral as we continued the meeting. First, I needed this deal to happen because I’d lost so much. After what happened at the auction a few days ago, this deal was the silver lining I needed to my cloud.Not to mention I’d lost out on an investment days ago because of Evelyn.So, this Bangria project must happen, and I need to swallow whatever fury burning inside me to see it through to the end.Papers were spread across the table, figures highlighted, maps of Bangria’s mineral belt projected on the screen.“Manpower allocation will need to

Gabriel POVI leaned back in my chair and watched him with amusement. "Why are you taking alcohol before such an important meeting? Isn't that going to affect your reasoning?"Adrian grimaced and sighed deeply. "It’s been one of those days, and I needed it to calm my frazzled nerves. I have a lot on my mind."“Still, alcohol only dulls the problem; it doesn’t fix it.”He sighed, rubbing his temple. “Right now, I welcome anything that slows my thoughts.”I studied him for a moment. The tension in his shoulders, the tightness around his eyes. Last night at the restaurant, I overheard two restaurant staff whispering about an altercation at the government summit held last weekend. They’d mentioned that Adrian Whitmore had a public altercation with his ex.The petite woman giving the gist said, of course, it wasn’t publicised, but she’d heard from a catering staff member that it was pretty brutal.I wonder if that was what was making Adrian depressed."Women problem?" I asked casually, tho

Gabriel POVIf anyone had told me a month ago that a woman would shut me down, walk away in the middle of breakfast, and still live rent-free in my head, I would have laughed in their face.I didn’t do attachments or explanations, and I definitely don’t do second chances.Yet here I was, staring out of the tinted window of my car, watching Crescent Harbour blur past, unable to stop thinking about Evelyn Bennett.I couldn't stop thinking about her.It was completely unlike me.Evelyn Bennett had walked out of that breakfast without looking back, and somehow, she'd managed to lodge herself in my brain like a splinter I couldn't remove.In my world, women came and went. There were always plenty of them. Beautiful women who wanted nothing more than to spend a night with Gabriel Ross, the notorious mafia boss. Women who understood that I wasn't the type for relationships. Women who were okay with being temporary sex mates.I'd never had a problem with that. I'd never wanted more. I'd never
