EVANGELINE

The atmosphere indie the car was suffocating.

Gael drove like a madman.

I tightened my grip on my dress, squeezing the fabric until my knuckles were white.

I wanted to curse him and hit him hard, but I knew that would do me no good, especially since he was at the height of his anger.

His chest was rising and falling irritably, and his fist was squeezing the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were white.

The silence in the car was deafening, broken only by the sound of the engine and the occasional screech of tires as he took corners too fast.

I stared at him, and tried to speak, but Gael’s warning glance told me not to say a word.

His jaw was clenched so tightly I could see the muscle jumping beneath his skin.

"You're driving too fast," I finally whispered, unable to keep quiet as he took another turn at dangerous speed.

"Shut up!" he snapped, not even looking at me.

The car swerved slightly, and I gripped the door handle with my heart pounding. "Gael, please..."

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S RELUCTANT BRIDE    CH.36

    EVANGELINEI stood outside our bedroom door later that evening, my hand trembling on the handle.The conversation with his parents had left me emotionally drained, but I knew this confrontation was inevitable. I had made a decision, one that surprised even me, one I was determined to see through.I could hear movement inside. The clink of glass, the scrape of a chair. Gael was drinking again, drowning his sorrows in alcohol as he had been doing since our wedding day.I entered the room and the first thing I saw was his figure standing on the balcony, smoking while holding a glass in his other hand.The sight was so familiar now. Gael drowning his sorrows in alcohol and nicotine. The city lights of Aldermere spread out below him, but he seemed oblivious to the beauty of the view.He looked at me from the corner of his eye before setting down the cup, stuffing out the cigarette and walking toward me.I remained still and followed his movements with my eyes until there were only a few st

    EVANGELINEThe flight back to Aldermere felt endless.We sat in separate sections of the private jet, the tension between us thick enough to cut with a knife.Gael buried himself in his laptop, pointedly ignoring my existence, while I stared out the window at the clouds below, my mind racing with questions I couldn't answer.The flight attendant this time wasn’t Sarah. She was a young woman with kind eyes. She approached me several times to offer refreshments, but I could barely manage more than water.My stomach was in knots, and every time I looked toward Gael's section of the plane, I felt anger and something else I couldn't quite identify. Hurt, maybe. Or disappointment.I tried to piece together the fragments of conversation I'd overheard, the tears in his mother's eyes, the desperation in Arthur's voice when he'd called me to his office that day.There was a story here, a complicated web of relationships and secrets that I was only beginning to understand.As we began our descen

    EVANGELINEI carelessly grabbed my bag from the ground and headed toward the road, ignoring Gael's presence. Unfortunately, I was mistaken for thinking I could escape him.His hand gripping my wrist forced me to face him."Let me go!" I exclaimed irritably, pulling away from him. The familiar pain of his grip made my heart race with remembered fear. "You're hurting me!""How dare you keep me waiting while you finished your dirty business with him?" He gritted his teeth with intense hatred.The accusation hit me like a slap, the crudeness of it making my stomach turn."Who told you to wait for me? I'm not going anywhere with you. I'll return to my home and family. We'll separate as soon as we arrive." My voice was shaking with anger and fear, but I forced myself to meet his eyes.I groaned when he grabbed my chin with his free hand, squeezing painfully until I was sure there would be marks."You don’t get to that!" His voice was low and threatening, each word dripping with menace.I cl

    EVANGELINEThaddeus pushed one of the small boats until it was in the water. He helped me seat on one of the seats inside then sat on the seat opposite me and began rowing until we were almost in the middle of the lake.The motion was soothing, the gentle lapping of water creating a peaceful rhythm."This is wonderful. I envy you for seeing this beautiful view every day." I exclaimed in admiration, turning right and left, looking in all directions with eager, radiant eyes.The mountains reflected perfectly in the still water, creating a breathtaking mirror image."Thank you, Thaddeus." I was truly grateful to him for his appearance.I really needed someone to help me forget the heaviness in my heart and distract me from my bitter reality.I was happy to have at least one moment I could enjoy, even briefly, before leaving this place forever."There's no need to thank me.”I reached for my phone in my pocket but frowned when I couldn't find it. I must have left it in my bag.I was dying

    EVANGELINEThree days passed in a blur of isolation and misery.I locked myself in my room, leaving only to eat when I was sure he wasn't around. I hadn't seen Gael or caught a glimpse of his shadow since that morning. He left the house early and didn't return until night, and even then I only knew because I heard his car in the driveway.All this time I'd been trying to collect my thoughts and figure out how to act. I'd made my decision. I would file for divorce as soon as I returned to Aldermere.I was walking on a mountain path with no destination, my suitcase trailing behind me. The wheels caught on every rock and root, but I didn't care. I just needed to get away from that house, away from him, away from the suffocating atmosphere of our failed marriage."Look where your decisions have led you, Evangeline." I laughed bitterly at myself.In the end, what did I expect? That we would come to an understanding, then love each other and live happily ever after? The fantasy seemed ridic
