MasukAdrian's POVGod, these events were boring.If it wasn't for the fact that my shareholders were still eager for me to attend these business networking events, I would've made myself a shut-in years ago.I was a billionaire, for fuck's sake. How much more networking did I truly need to do?I nodded mindlessly as the other CEOs chattered about. Many of them were smaller and having just entered the industry fairly recently.They all had approached me specifically with the intent of earning my favor. Even if they hadn't outright stated it, it wasn't rocket science to figure out what it was they wanted.Favor, business ideas and tactics, maybe a loan...Over these last few years, I hadn't been nearly as giving, but many thought it was simply because I hadn't found anyone worthy to back.They were partially right...My compassion and selflessness were lost the moment I lost Evelyn.But I couldn't think about that right now. Not when I had to look engaged and cordial.So, I nodded, parted wor
Evelyn's POV"Hon!" Nathan called from outside our bathroom. "Your phone's ringing! It's Mr. Robertson!"I threw my hair in a towel and wrapped a robe around my body as I ran to grab my phone. Today was the day we were supposed to hear back about the bullying incident at Alex's school.But our meeting wasn't supposed to be until 10 a.m., and it was only 9:36! Why was the headmaster calling me now?Just before the call could go to voicemail, I hit accept and put him on speaker. "Good morning, Mr. Robertson," I said, nearly out of breath."Good morning, Miss Evelyn," he greeted warmly. "I'm sorry for the early call, but I was trying to save you the trouble of having to come down to the school.""Is everything okay? Did something happen?""Oh, everything's quite alright. In fact, I just got done speaking to the parents of the child responsible for bringing harm to your son, Alexander.""What happened?""The situation has been handled. Alexander is permitted to come back to the school, whi
Adrian's POV"Are you ready?" I called out to Jonathan, who still hadn't shown himself in the foyer like I asked him to fifteen minutes ago.A few more seconds passed before Jonathan finally showed up alongside Bianca. He avoided my gaze as he descended the stairs with his hand in hers."What are you in a rush for?" Bianca asked in an irritated tone."I just want to get this meeting over with. We have a busy day ahead."Bianca rolled her eyes. "Come now, sweetie. Let's get to Bluebird and see what the headmaster finally found out in your defense."In Jonathan's defense… I had to suppress my scoff. Something told me that this meeting wasn't going to go the way Bianca thought it would.When we arrived at Bluebird, we made our way down the mostly empty and quiet halls towards the front desk. There sat the receptionist that Bianca had yelled at last week.."Good morning," I decided to be the one to greet her. "We're the Langstons, and have a meeting with Mr. Robertson for 9 a.m."The recep
Evelyn's POVI grabbed the menu and tried my damnedest to focus on the words in front of me. The American Wagyu Tomahawk for Two looks good… Or maybe we could share the 14-ounce lobster tail…"Good evening, Miss," the waiter greeted me in a warm, friendly tone. "How was your Caprese salad? Was it to your liking?""It was good," I answered politely. "Everything has been good so far."That was when I felt my panties being pulled to the side. I was hypervigilant of Nathan's hot breath in between my legs, slowly and torturously closing the distance.Then his tongue lashed out again, flicking against my already sensitive clit.In response, I stomped my foot and stifled a groan."Is everything alright?" The naïve waiter asked. He tilted his head in concern."Y-yes," I cleared my throat. "Sorry, just a l-little muscle spasm."I felt Nathan's smug smile form against my pussy just before being replaced by leisure, slow licks. Fire bloomed in my chest as my throat began to dry."Oh, I understan
Evelyn's POVI held my breath as I waited for Nathan to dignify me with some kind of response. The gears in his head turned as he processed my question.For whatever reason, the anticipation was making me nervous."Where's all this coming from?" He finally asked. His expression was equal parts inquisitive and concerned."Well…" I took a deep breath and tried to collect my thoughts. "I know it wasn't proven outright to be the Langston brothers that forced you out of your program all those years ago, but I can't help but think they were the ones responsible for you losing out on your dreams.""It had to have been one of them that made the call," I continued. "With what their lies and deception caused us both, and what we were subjected to, I can't imagine it being anyone else."My ramblings went on. "It's clear that becoming a doctor and helping people is your passion. Adrian and Zane ruined it for you. They silenced the call you were answering…""And…" I bit my lip, feeling nervous and
Evelyn's POV"You know… This feels a little déjà vu…" Nathan said with nervous excitement as he held onto my arm for dear life. "Please don't let me bust my ass, Eve."I barked out a laugh. "The roles are reversed now, but I promise I won't let you fall as long as you don't tug down on me too hard!""Hey, you've got me blindfolded here!""It was necessary! Otherwise, you would've just opened your eyes and ruined the surprise!"I led Nathan up the stairs and outside onto the restaurant's balcony. Low-lit fairy lights and the various potted plants and trees made it feel like we were encased in a small forest, and not in the middle of the busy metropolis of New York.It was like being in a dream.I let out a small sigh of reverence. "Okay… You can undo your blindfold. And for the record, the pictures online definitely didn't do this view justice."Nathan untied his blindfold and allowed his vision to adjust. He took in the surroundings slowly, almost like he couldn't believe where we were
