The ride home was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that pressed on Evelyn’s chest and made it hard for her to breathe. The coldness in the air wrapped around her like chains, each second making her more nervous than the last. It wasn’t like the other times she had been with George, when even silence had felt safe. Tonight, it felt heavy and frightening.

George hadn’t spoken a word since they walked out of the restaurant. He simply kept his eyes on the road, his expression unreadable. Evelyn kept her head lowered, her fingers twisting nervously in her lap. She didn’t dare lift her gaze to see his face. She was terrified of what she might find there...anger, disappointment, disgust.

Her heart thudded painfully in her chest, and the man’s words from earlier kept echoing inside her head. Murder. Hired. Guilty. Each word was sharp, cutting through her fragile peace like a knife. She had been trying so hard to rebuild her life, to start fresh, to live quietly without the shadow of her

    The sun had gone down, and the city breeze was cool and refreshing. Evelyn stepped out of the therapy clinic, drawing in a deep breath as if she could soak the peace of the evening into her chest. Life lately had been nothing but refreshing, just like the air around her.She adjusted her bag, ready to walk toward the nearby bus stop. She had been suspended from driving, and though Emily had offered to get her a driver, Evelyn had refused. She wanted to stand on her own feet again, even if it meant simple things like taking a bus.Just as she took her first step, the sound of a car horn startled her. She turned quickly and her eyes widen.George’s car was parked in front of the clinic. His steady eyes were on her, a small smile tugging at his lips.“Won’t you get in?” he asked calmly. There was a trace of amusement in his voice, as though her shock entertained him. Is it really that surprising to see me here? he wondered silently.“Oh…” Evelyn breathed out, snapping out of her stillne

    Chapter 133Two days before the wedding.Emily stood in front of her wedding gown, looking at it in awe. The wedding gown was displayed on the mannequin like a treasure. It was pure white, shining softly under the boutique lights. The fitted top was decorated with tiny silver designs that sparkled every time the light touched them. The gown flowed down in soft layers of fine fabric, falling gently to the ground with a long train stretching behind it. Beside it hung a lace veil, its edges lined with tiny pearls that looked like drops of dew.Emily’s lips parted slightly as she stared at the gown. It was beautiful, almost too beautiful to be real. For a moment, it felt like she was standing in a dream. A gown meant for a bride, a gown meant for happiness.Her chest rose and fell slowly. Her life had been like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, pain and betrayal, but now… now she was just one step away from her happy ending.Just some days ago…She had gone to see her father for th

  • The Beautiful Wife Of Mr Rowland    Chapter 132

    The next morning, Rowland Corporation was unusually lively.The company’s official website and social media pages had released the pre-wedding photos of their Chairman, Denovon Rowland, and Emily Carter. But what shocked everyone most wasn’t just the photos...it was the announcement that the two had already been married for five months, and were now preparing for their white wedding.“Who could have thought they already signed the marriage certificate five months ago?” a female worker whispered to her colleague as they stared at the pictures on their screens.“I’m surprised too,” the other replied, her voice low but filled with disbelief. “I thought they were just secretly dating.”Yes, there had been rumors before, but no one had taken them seriously. Many believed it was only temporary, that their cold and untouchable Chairman would eventually lose interest in Emily Carter. Yet here was the truth...he had not only chosen her, he had married her.“Wow… now that I think about it, I’ve

    Emily stormed out of Carter Industry, her heels striking hard against the floor as if each step could crush the anger burning inside her. The file trembled in her grip, her fingers clutching it so tightly that the edges had crumpled.The more she thought about the figures written inside, the more her chest burned. Her father had been reckless and now it was her burden to carry.When she reached her car, she almost threw the file onto the passenger seat. Sliding behind the wheel, she pressed her forehead against the steering wheel and shut her eyes for a long moment. Her lips quivered, her shoulders shook slightly.Why did everything have to fall on her?With a sharp inhale, she forced her tears back, refusing to let them fall. Then she started the car and drove off not home, not to the hospital where her father lay, but to Rowland Corporation.She wanted to go home, to wait quietly for the photographer who had promised to send the pre-wedding photos today. That was supposed to be her

  • The Beautiful Wife Of Mr Rowland    Chapter 130:

    Emily’s white car halted at Carter Industry. The Christmas holiday was over and people were back to work and their normal activities.Her father had still not woken up, and just like Denovon had said, she had to take the responsibility. What she really wanted was to stay at home and wait for the photographer who shot their pre-wedding photos to forward them. They had taken the photo shoot some days ago, and the photos were supposed to be sent today.Instead, here she was.“Miss Emily, it’s good you are here,” her father’s assistant said quickly as she entered the company. His face was drawn, his eyes restless.Emily paused, sensing something was wrong. “What’s wrong?” she asked in concern.“You need to see this,” he said, his voice low, before turning and walking into her father’s office.Emily followed him, her steps steady even though her chest tightened with each one.“The bank sent this to us this morning,” the assistant said, holding out a document as soon as they entered the off
