Evelyn’s P.O.V.

My hands were sweating profusely, and my heart was pounding hard while I continued staring at the main building of the Black Raven Club.

I clutched my folder tightly against my ribcage, taking deep breaths to calm myself down.

I was asked to meet Mr. Rudolf Betham at 10, and it was already 9:45 in the morning.

People were coming in and out, looking at me in confusion for a second or busy with their phone calls, to even glance at me.

But I wasn’t paying attention to any of them e

    Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)There was a difference between being pushed into a future and choosing one for yourself.Jonah wasn't abandoning his passion.He was simply making room for another ambition.And perhaps that was something I needed to remember, too.My dream had always been to become a professional hockey strategist.But I also wanted to be capable of standing on my own, to have a career that belonged to me rather than one that existed to support someone else's success.In my previous life, I had forgotten that distinction.I had spent so much time studying Zack's game that I had never given myself the chance to discover how far my own abilities could take me.This time, I wouldn't make that mistake."That makes sense," I said sincerely."I think it's wonderful that you know what you want."Jonah smiled."What about you? Are you planning to study here for your master's?""I'm not sure yet. Ms. Holt suggested a few programs I should look into. I want to compare them before ma

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.“With your assistant work on the university team and now your internship with the Black Raven Club, will you be able to submit all your assignments and projects on time?” My professor, Rachel Holt, asked me in a concerned tone.I put the two completed assignment folders on her desk with a confident smile.“I assure you, Ms. Holt, that I will not compromise my studies at any cost.”She looked a bit relieved, but concern didn’t leave her gaze.“You asked me to prepare my portfolio for the master’s program, Ms. Holt. I need some guidance in that.” I said to her and put another folder in front of her.She gestured me to take the chair and took the folder.“Will you apply here?” She asked me while opening the folder.“It’s still a plan,” I answered honestly.She glanced at me once and then moved her gaze back to the folder.I looked at my phone when it vibrated in my hand.It was Cathy who messaged me.I opened the message and furrowed my brows.[Cathy: After finishing your

    ZacK’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Maybe I will. Unless you want to be the next thing I crush.” I snapped, glaring at Jessica.Instead of getting offended, she burst into laughter.“Oh, Zack. You really are entertaining when you're angry.” She slapped my forearm playfully while laughing.“Then find someone else to entertain you.” I was getting irritated by her persistence, but I didn’t push her away this time.“Why would I do that when you're right here?” She was having her fun.She leaned closer, her intoxicated eyes studying my face.“Besides, I thought you would be happy to see me. After all, your precious Evelyn has abandoned you.” She teased, but my expression turned murderous.“Take her name one more time, and you will not like the consequences.” I warned her, but it only made her grin wider.“Why? Does her name hurt now?” She asked me mockingly.I clenched my jaw, still shooting daggers on her through my eyes.“The whole university saw how she treated you, Zack….. not once, but thrice.

    Athena’s P.O.V. (Continued)"But I know my sister. She doesn't usually become suspicious of people without a reason. And tonight, she seemed determined to understand something about Zack that she wasn't ready to explain to me," I added worriedly.Theo didn’t speak for a few seconds, giving me time to breathe."Did you ask her directly?" He asked calmly.“Hmmm.” I sighed before continuing."I did. She said she didn't want to make assumptions without evidence."Theo went quiet again.I knew what he was thinking because I also had the same thing in my mind.“What if something happened between them that Cathy also didn’t know?” I speculated in a low and measured voice.“You know Eve, Theo. She always bottled-up things.”I stared at the ceiling, thinking about what would have happened between Evelyn and Zack.Did he hurt Evelyn?My chest tightened instantly.“Don’t overthink, love. You are right that Eve bottled up things, but she never hid things from Cathy.” Theo comforted me, and his wo

  • The Enemy Who Collected My Corpse   telling him everything

    Athena’s P.O.V. (Continued)I had already heard enough about Zack's recent behaviour to know that he wasn't taking Evelyn's rejection well.Brian had told me about the confrontation at the Mountain Panthers' facility.According to him, Zack had cornered Evelyn and behaved as though he had some claim over her, despite the fact that she had never accepted his proposal.Worse, he had shouted at her in front of other people.Henry had been even more direct when he spoke to me about the incident.He told me that Zack blamed Evelyn for his own poor performance and treated her as though she owed him an explanation for withdrawing her support.I was furious when I heard that.Who did he think he was?Evelyn worked hard to help that team.She spent countless hours studying opponents, analysing formations, and preparing strategies that other players benefited from.And Zack's response when she decided to focus on her own future had been to blame her for his failures?Unbelievable.I had wanted

  • The Enemy Who Collected My Corpse   why did she ask

    Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)I continued before I could lose my nerve.“I used to think that if someone was nice to me, it meant they cared about me. I didn't think much about what they expected in return. I don't want to make that mistake again.”For several seconds, Athena said nothing.Then she reached for my face and cupped it.“Eve, you don't have to figure everything out tonight.” She said softly.I looked at her with teary eyes.“But you're right to ask questions. And if you're worried that Zack might be using his relationship with you to get closer to our family, we should take that possibility seriously.” She added seriously.My heart began beating faster.She came closer to the truth than I expected.Athena squeezed my hand gently.“Tell me one thing, though. Has he ever asked you to speak to Mom or Dad on his behalf? Has he ever tried to use your feelings for him to get something from the Croft family?”I stared at her.In my previous life, I had done so many things for Zack
