THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER THIRTEEN
MIRANDAThe moment Adrian left, I stopped pretending to be calm. I stood beside the window of my bedroom, staring out at the gardens below, my hands clenched at my sides.That arrogant, infuriating man.He had walked into my father's residence, questioned me like a criminal, and left without giving me the satisfaction of a proper explanation.Worse, he had looked at me as though he knew I was hiding something. I hated that look.I hated the way his green eyes seemed to see through people, stripping away their carefully constructed lies until nothing remained.And I hated that, for one brief moment, I had wondered whether he knew. Whether he had somehow discovered my involvement.I exhaled slowly. No…Adrian had suspicions, perhaps. But suspicion was not proof, and he had left without accusing me of anything. But that didn't mean I could afford to leave any loose ends.A hurried, chaotic knock rattled my bedroom door before it burst open.Valencia Noire practically stumbled into the ro
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER TWELVE
CALEB'S POVI saw the post about Evelina the moment it started going viral. Her face was everywhere. People were calling her violent. Unstable. Dangerous.I stared at the screen, my jaw tightening with every comment. They didn't know her.They didn't know what had happened before that video was recorded. They didn't know Genevieve had provoked her.I knew. And yet, somehow, I was the one who had failed her. I should have protected her. I should have stopped Genevieve before things went this far.But how could I protect her when I was part of the reason she was suffering?I pulled on my riding gear and headed for the inner garage. My Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter sat where I'd left it. I swung onto it and sped out.I had to find her and fix this.---NippyZippy was the first place I went. I stormed through the entrance, barely acknowledging the receptionist."Did Evelina Mercer report for duty today?"The young woman looked at me nervously. "I'm sorry?""Evelina. Has she been a

EVELINA'S POVSomeone doesn't want me here. Someone obviously wanted me dead. But why? And... who could it be?I thought about the woman from earlier, my fingers tightening around the strands of dark-brown hair I had pulled from her disguise."I'm definitely going to find that woman with the deep blue eyes."The paralysis was definitely strange. Strange wasn't even the right word for it. That was how I would have died, and my poor mother wouldn't even know what happened to me.I swallowed hard. From now on, always be on alert, Evelina. This wasn't some fucking fairy tale, so get your act together. Don't fall for your boss. Stay alive and make money. Simple.I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice Adrian approaching."Eve."I jumped. I spun around and found him standing behind me. "Geez… when did you come back?""Not too long ago. Your door was wide open." He studied me. "I've been calling you for a while, but you seemed lost in thought.""Oh." I looked away. "Sorry."He didn't r
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER TEN
EVELINA'S POVI made up my mind not to waste another tear on them. I knew this was Genevieve's doing. And it was all because of stupid Caleb.I screamed my pain into the wind. "I'm done with all of you!"My voice cracked, but I didn't care. I wiped my tears furiously and started my motorcycle. I drove straight to Nightfall Estate.The same atmosphere of silence welcomed me. As I approached the gate of Adrian's mansion, I pressed the intercom button.A few seconds later, the gate opened. Mojito stood there. Surprisingly, he didn't look nearly as intimidating as he had the last time I saw him. In fact, he looked almost pleasant. I stared at him suspiciously."Did you get enough beauty sleep to give you such a nice attitude today, or is it something else?"Mojito gave a low laugh."See? It's not so bad. You look less like King Kong now.""So you were scared, but you decided to be stubborn anyway." He smirked."I wasn't scared." I said, crossing my arms.He raised an eyebrow. "You're some
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER NINE
GENEVIEVEThe moment Caleb left his room, I looked at the bouquet in my hands. It was cheap nonsense.They weren't ugly, exactly, but they certainly weren't what I expected from someone who was supposed to be my fiancé.I rolled my eyes and threw them into the trash. Caleb had always been too sentimental for his own good. But I had never tolerated Caleb because I was madly in love with him.He had his uses. He was always fucking good in bed. His family had money, so he wasn't dead weight. Not to mention, he was really good-looking.That was why I'd tolerated Caleb and his insufferable mother for this long.I left the room and walked into the lounge, where Bianca was still sitting comfortably on the sofa.I took a sit, and she moved closer to me. She told me that Evelina was the one who had inflicted the injury on Caleb.Evelina had always thought she could get away with anything simply because Caleb cared about her. She was about to learn otherwise.I left the Ryders' mansion and retu
THE DEVIL'S BRIDE CHAPTER EIGHT
Caleb's POVPain shot through my head as I slowly regained consciousness. For a few seconds, I couldn't remember where I was. Then everything came rushing back in fragments.I remembered the argument with Evelina. Her rejection. Then she hit me with something. I touched the side of my head and winced.She had really hit me. I pushed myself up from the floor and looked around the room. The house was silent. Evelina was gone.My mind felt hazy, and my thoughts were scattered. I didn't want to stay there any longer, so I staggered outside, climbed onto my motorcycle, and drove straight home.The Ryder mansion was still awake when I arrived. I barely made it through the entrance before Dad saw me."Caleb?"I stopped. His eyes immediately went to my head."What happened to you?"I instinctively touched the injury. "I got into an accident."Dad's expression changed. "An accident? Are you all right? You should see a doctor.""It's nothing serious."He stepped closer, examining me with concer
