[ Colton ]"Evangeline!"Mr. Parker shouted and I felt like air left my lungs when Evangeline fell on the carpeted floor with a thud. She passed out and Dominic was to be blamed for it.Wasting no time to bend down and pull her head in my lap I patted her cheeks gently,"Hey, Freya, wake up." I tried to wake her up but nothing happned. It grew my fear even more.She's having a complicated pregnancy and it would certainly effect hers and the baby's life."I think we should take her to the hospital first. I do not want my daughter's life at risk." Mr. Parker said to me in a worried tone. The same fear was also reflecting on his face.It was the first time in years he spoke to me and indirectly requesting me to save his daughter."I am taking her to the nearby hospital. Please calm down, Mr. Parker. I won't let anything happen to her. I promise you." I said to him."Please be quick." He said."You're not taking my wife anywhere, Colton or you will face my wrath." Dominic's voice roared.I
[ Evangeline ]I tried to open my eyes but the light coming from the open window made it impossible. I could feel drowsiness as my body laid on the hospital bed and a sharp pain in my right hand. I tried again after a couple of moments and it took me a few attempts to open them widely.I found myself in a hospital room and many tubes attatched to my body. My hand immediately went to my tummy, though it's still flat but I could feel my baby there. Relief washed over me but soon it turned into a frown when I spotted an unexpected figure sleeping on the sofa."Colton?"I whispered in confusion and then the memories of last night flooded as the reality check.Fresh tears stung my eyes as I recalled Dominic's vindictive confession. All these while he masked his true face by a well wisher who came into my life like an angel but in reality, he was the biggest monster who wanted my child gone.A sob escapes my lips and it woke Colton. He rubs his sleepy eyes and in the next moment, he was nea
[ Evangeline ]"I want you to use all your patience to comtrol your anger when I tell you something which brought her in this condition, Ms. Kate." Colton decided to take the lead as I didn't find my voice.She looked confused as she glanced between us."What's going on in here guys?" She asked again,"I can sense something wrong but I just can't put a finger on it. Come on, tell me the fucking truth." She used a high pitch."Language, Kate. You're at a hospital." I reminded her."Fuck with the language, Eve. Please spill the truth now. You know I am not very good at waiting and specially when it involves you." She says rolling her eyes.Colton cleared his throat only to earn a murderous glare from her,"Ms. Kate, that's why I want you to listen to me very calmly. It's a public place and according to your best friend, you forget everything, every decency when you're angry or mad in her words.""Trust me, Mr. Black, it would be more easier to hear a shitty truth than tolerating your pres
[ Colton ]My happiness had no bounds as I walked out of the hospital. Evangeline trusted me, her biggest tormentor in a very crucial phase of her life.She asked me to come back and meet her. It's really unusual but I could work with that. She was trying to put some trust in me then I'd earn it.I instructed my security team once again to keep an eye on the hospital as well as at the school. Both Chase and Evangeline might be in danger if Dominic planned something else to created more troubles for us. I was about to sit inside my car when someone whom I didn't except to see came into view. It alerted all my senses."Evanca?" I whispered to myself. I couldn't mistake her with someone else. It was her, with a scarf wrapped around her face and black glasses covering most of her face as she hurriedly rushed inside the hospital.Evanca at the same hospital was definitely a bad news. Slamming the car door shut, I quickly followed her. If she was sent by Dominic or she was here at her own t
[ Colton ]"Cat caught your tongue, Mr. Black." She arched her brows in a victorious way which slapped me hard on my face.Karma is a bitch!I came to understand the meaning of this phrase in that moment. The woman I loved like a mad man, crushed my wife's heart, cheated on her back, just to get the biggest betrayal from the same woman.Evanca wasn't to be blamed but I. She was very clear and hideous with her motives but I was blind to notice her cunning nature. I was the fool here."Colton, I know it's very hard for you to digest, I give you the credit that you have been a great husband all these years but I never loved you. How can I love you when your loyalty doesn't stay at one place or in one person. You ditched your wife for me. All I had to do was pull your emotional strings and you came running to me. How naive you were to abandon a devoted wife like Evangeline. You couldn't learn it in your three years marriage. I was sure the moment you signed divorce papers that fooling you
[ Evangeline ]The day had rolled on a very dull pace. I didn't know but I felt a little impatient. Everytime the door opened, my heart started beating faster hoping it would be someone who promised to come back. The long sedimentated feelings were coming on surface with a full force."Hey, where have you been lost?" Kate's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I looked at her. She was giving me a weird look."Sorry, I was just thinking about the ongoing mess." I rubbed my temples and tried to avoid her suspicious eyes."I'd buy it if you want me but my guts are saying otherwise. Anyways, I want to show you something. It's really interesting." She grinned and played a video on her phone. My eyes widened as I watched the unexpected happening. I saw my father beating the pulp out of Dominic who might be trying to trespass into my parents' house."Is it true?" I asked her."Happened an hour ago. I must say that Mr. Parker is still a wrestling champion." She said with amusement."But I don
[ Colton ]Excruciating silence wrapped the air as I waited for Brandon to speak who had been searching something on his laptop with great concern."Why couldn't you ready it before I come here, Brand?" I asked him as I was getting annoyed with passing seconds. I promised Evangeline to revisit the hospital and I couldn't break my promise again."Wait a sec, Col. I can't keep a very confidential file open for anyone to break and find. Relax and give me a sec-" He replied,"Here you go." He turned the screen to me and what I read, it slipped the earth beneath my feet."It's not true! Tell me, Brand!" I yelled and sprang up from my seat. I couldn't decide whether to feel happy or plan my next move. I just hit a jackpot."Well, according to my legal sources it's 100% authentic and if you want, I can ask a government law officer to authenticate it for you." He said with folded hands.A winning smile played on my lips as I imagine my enemies' face when I'd surprise them in the court. They wi
[ Evangeline ]"What is it, Brandon?" I pressed him as he remained silent after increasing my curiosity."Chase is here, I don't think it will be appropriate to talk about serious stuffs in front of him. I got to know that he is a genius boy who catches everything very quickly." He said."Yeah, I agree but your face is telling me that something is off with you and that's the reason why Colton isn't here, am I right?" I tried to scratch his shell."Partially, yes, you're right but he is actually gone to shift Mia to a safe place. Her own mother has become her enemy. I pity the poor child who is totally oblivious to a vile mother. She will be heart broken when she learns about her mother's true nature." Brandon said with a sigh at last.He was right. I too felt bad for the small girl who is very full of life."Then let's wait for my parents. They will be here anytime. I will send Chase with them then we can talk." I suggested."Yeah, that would be better. Colton will also be here by the
