Violetta's eyes moved between Damien and Evelyn, her chest rising with every angry breath.

The man she desired stood before her, looking at her with a disgust she had never seen in his eyes before.

She turned toward Evelyn, her anger spilling over.

“Why did you even have to come back into our lives? Why couldn't you stay dead? Everything was fine before you returned!”

Evelyn let out a bitter laugh.

“Fine? Is that what you call it?”

“You know exactly what I mean!”

“No, Violetta. I don't think y

    Soon, it was evening. Evelyn stood in front of her bedroom mirror, making a final adjustment to her outfit. She chose a fitted champagne-coloured gown that fell just below her knees, with a modest neckline and delicate detailing around the waist. The fabric hugged her figure without being too tight, while the short sleeves gave the dress an elegant finish.She paired it with nude heels, a matching clutch, and a pair of diamond earrings from her own collection. Her hair fell in soft waves right above her shoulders, and her makeup was polished without being too heavy.She picked up her phone and checked the time.It was almost 7pm.A knock came at the door, and Cindy entered with Ruby close behind her.“Mummy.”Evelyn turned. “What's wrong?”The girls stopped at the sight of her.“Wow!” Cindy exclaimed.Ruby's mouth fell open. “Mummy, you're so pretty.”Evelyn laughed. “Thank you, my darlings.”“You look like a princess,” Ruby said.Evelyn bent to kiss her forehead. “You two are mak

    Evelyn opened the message from her assistant and tapped the attached invitation.A beautifully designed card, bearing the name of one of the most respected jewelry manufacturers in the industry. The company was preparing to unveil its latest collection at a grand launch that evening.She read through the details, taking note of the venue, the time, and the list of invited guests.It was a major event, one that would attract some of the biggest names in the jewelry business. Being invited was no small thing, and Evelyn couldn't hide her excitement.She quickly replied to her assistant, confirming her attendance.Damien, who stood near the doorway, noticed her smile.“Everything all right?”“Everything's great. Couldn't be better.” She showed him the invitation. “I've been invited to the grand launch of a new collection from Sydney's, one of the top jewelry factories in the industry.”“That's wonderful.”“It's a big event. I wasn't expecting an invitation, but I'm certainly not going

    By nightfall, Damien was beginning to suspect that his daughters had planned something.First, Cindy insisted he play a board game with them. Then Ruby asked him to help arrange their toys, even though Evelyn pointed out that the girls could do it themselves.Now, they stood in front of him with hopeful expressions.“Daddy, will you read us a bedtime story?” Cindy asked.Damien smiled. “Of course. Which story would you like?”“The one with the princess and the prince,” Ruby answered.Evelyn, who sat on the edge of the bed, raised an eyebrow.“Don't you want me to read your bedtime story tonight?”Both girls shook their heads.“No, Mummy,” Cindy said. “We want daddy to read it.”Evelyn looked at Damien, who seemed just as surprised by their decision.“Well, all right.” She stood and headed towards the door. “I'll leave you to it, then.”“Mummy, wait..”She turned back.“What is it now?”“We want you here too,” Ruby said.Evelyn blinked. “But you just told me you wanted your dad to read

    “We should get going now,” Theodore announced, rising from his seat.Damien also stood. “I'll go along with you.”Evelyn nodded, preparing to call the girls downstairs before they left. She had barely taken a step when Cindy's voice rang through the house.“Daddy”, she called out..She came running down the stairs, with Ruby following close behind.Damien turned, and a smile spread across his face when Cindy rushed into his arms. He lifted her and kissed her cheek.“What is it, sweetheart?”“Are you going home?”“Yes, I am. I'll come to see you again soon.”Cindy's smile faded immediately.“No. You can't go.”“Why not?”“Because I want you to stay here.”Evelyn looked at her daughter, confused by the sudden demand.“Cindy, what's going on?”Cindy slipped out of Damien's arms and held his hand.“If Daddy is going home, then I'll go with him.”Evelyn stared at her.“What do you mean by that?”“If he leaves, I'll leave too.”“Cindy…” Evelyn stepped closer. “Do you suddenly have a proble

    After a while, Peter checked his phone and slipped it into his pocket.“I should get going.”Evelyn turned towards him. “So soon?”He glanced at her, then winked.She understood at once. He was most likely going to see Rayna. Evelyn pressed her lips together to hide her smile. “Well, don't forget to call me,” Evelyn said.“I won't.”Peter crouched in front of the girls. “Come here, you two. Let me say goodbye properly.”Cindy rushed into his arms, and he hugged her before kissing her cheek. Ruby joined them. “You'll come back, right?” Cindy asked.“Of course. When have I ever abandoned you?”“Never!” Cindy answered.Peter laughed. “That's what I thought.”He gave Ruby another kiss on the forehead, stood, and waved at everyone before heading for the door.Evelyn watched him leave, then turned back to the others.“Now that we're all here, I think we should discuss something,” Theodore announced.The girls were still lingering beside Damien, who had been asking Cindy about her afterno

    Everyone stepped out of the courtroom and Evelyn took a deep breath, a smile settling on her face. Peter walked beside her, talking to Theodore and her about the judge's decision, while Damien followed with his hands in his pockets.“I still can't believe she actually thought she could get away with it,” Peter said. Theodore shook his head. “Let's not waste any more time thinking about her. The court has dealt with her, and that's what matters.”“You're right,” Evelyn agreed. “I just want to go home and spend the rest of the day with my girls.”She turned towards Peter to say something else, but her attention was on him rather than the path ahead.The next thing she knew, she had walked straight into someone.“Oh!”The man staggered a little, and the coffee in his hand splashed on the front of his dark suit. Some of it dripped onto the pavement.Evelyn froze.“Oh, my goodness. I'm so sorry.” She reached for a tissue in her bag, then stopped when she realized she couldn't do much t
