Evelyn's POV

I avoided Adrian for the rest of the day. Not like I had to really try, at least. After that whole fiasco with Bianca overtaking our master bedroom, he called for a moving company to same-day pack and deliver her belongings to our place, while he helped her get adjusted.

I couldn't stand the sight of him favoring another woman over his own wife. So, I made sure to give him the same treatment he was giving me.

Even when he tried to talk to me, I ignored him.

"Eve, are you thirsty?" H

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 99 — To Plan Something Better

    Evelyn's POVThe dawn of the new day came, and I felt no relief from the events that transpired just yesterday. My bones ached, and my soul felt weary.There was a weight on both my shoulders and my heart that I didn't think was going to leave me so easily.I was no stranger to betrayal, yet it still hurt the same as the first.What really stung was the fact that Zane KNEW what I was going through, and to an extent, went through the same exact thing, and STILL thought to do something like this to me.The more I tried to understand, the more I ended up running in circles and making myself dizzy. Because at the end of the day, I NEVER would've done something like that.If I were him, I wouldn't have gone to those lengths to try to court someone, just to violate their most sacred and precious boundary.And for what exactly? What did he think he was going to gain from violating me in such a horrific way?Just the thought of him touching me now made my skin crawl… I wanted him nowhere near

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 98 — Forced Into Hiding

    Evelyn's POVThe familiar feeling of betrayal and anguish slammed into my chest like an unrelenting wave. It felt like whatever was left of my beating heart had been completely ripped out of me.What had I done to deserve this? What was I being punished for?Had I pissed someone off? Why was this happening to me?The questions replayed in my head alongside the ones I had with Zane. There had to have been something that hinted towards this outcome. How come I hadn't seen this coming?I cycled through every word, every action, and every little touch we shared, and not ONCE did it ever occur to me that he had intentions to use me in this way. Not once did I ever get the impression that he was out to hurt me.Then I thought about it…Little dove, I remembered he would call me. The way it rolled off his tongue so sweet and so enticing. To anyone else, it should've been endearing.At the time, to me, it actually was.Now that I had time to think… Maybe that was the sign.Doves were somethin

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 97 — He Who Pulls The Strings

    Evelyn's POV"Evelyn, wait! Stop!" Adrian called for me desperately. His footsteps chased me out the door, but I didn't want to stop.I couldn't stop.This went beyond cruel in ways I hadn't imagined.As the cool breeze of the night hit my skin, I tried to make myself breathe, but all that came out were angry, frantic heaves that were desperate to cling onto something that wasn't Adrian's neck.I turned around and shoved my finger straight into his chest, driving my nail into his skin. "You fucking KNEW, didn't you?! YOU DID THIS TO ME! HOW FUCKING COULD—"I was immediately swept up by Nathan as he used himself to shield me from Adrian, and to also put some space between us."Hey, hey, hey…" Nathan spoke soothingly, but not with any less urgency than the situation called for. "What did he do to you? Talk to me."The momentary break and the space admittedly was enough for me to form my thoughts. "HE was the one that fucking drugged me!"Nathan's eyes widened with malice as he immediate

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 96 — Unmasking The Truth

    Evelyn's POVWhat a cruel joke. I wasn't too much of a religious person, but I must have pissed off God if this was His way of getting me to heal.Out of ANYONE who could've taken my dress, it just HAD to be him. I suppose there was no way forward than to confront one's demons.And over a damn dress.I let out a heavy, very displeased sigh, and dragged my feet up the stairs to make myself semi-presentable. "Well, I guess we should go get it back.""You don't have to go!" Mila called up to me. "I can definitely go get it myself!""And I can go with her," Nathan chimed in. "Just for some added muscle that Mila definitely doesn't need."I stopped midway up the stairs. "I don't need protection, but I appreciate the sentiment. What happened, happened, and I'm not going to just cower and hide because he decided he wanted to be a piece of shit and cheat on me.""Besides, I want to make sure that the dress I paid for is still in one piece," I added. "If it's not, then I'll make sure he compen

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 95 — My Inner Circle

    Evelyn's POVIt seemed I was just as frozen as I couldn't will my legs to move forward. The last time we had seen each other, things didn't exactly end well.So, while I wanted to do nothing more than to simply leave and never look back, there was something about his appearance that made me feel genuine concern for his well-being.I'd seen him look bad before, but not like this."Hi, Adrian…" I greeted him warily."Hey," he greeted me with the same cautious tone, but there was a hint of softness and tenderness underneath. His eyes shifted towards Nathan, but there was no hostility behind them. "Nathan.""Adrian," Nathan greeted in a flat, neutral tone."Is everything okay?" Adrian's attention veered back to me."Yeah, just doing a check-up is all. How about you?""Well… I've definitely been better." He tried to laugh, but it fell flat, and it felt hollow. "My head's spinning, and it just kind of feels like I've been hit by a truck.""I'm sorry to hear that," I said genuinely. "You didn

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 94 — Friends By My Side

    Evelyn's POVI was really starting to hate hospitals. At this point, I may have well just lived in one and became a resident with how often I'd been to one. I wondered if the doctors would recognize me.The check-in process was mostly a blur. Maybe it was a good thing Mila had suggested we come here. After answering some questions and having her fill out the paperwork for me, we ended up finally getting a room in the back."Can you stay with her?" Mila turned to Nathan. "I'm going to drop off her dress at the dry cleaners.""Yeah, I'll stay with her."Mila narrowed her eyes at him."I promise." He sucked in a deep breath. "Everything's been settled on my end.""Hmph." It was the only response Mila would dignify his statement with before walking out of the room.I laid on the stiff, uncomfortable examination table in a gown, feeling more embarrassed and somewhat angry with myself.For the last few months, I'd been starved of any kind of touch and affection. While it had begun to slightl

    Evelyn's POVTime slowed to an agonizing crawl as I stood there and watched Adrian and Bianca be so close with one another. It was like my world was being turned upside down again. Whatever hope I had for our marriage was dwindling away even more.I had to force myself away from the scene as I threw
