    Evelyn's POV I didn’t expect him to come looking for me.Not after everything that happened earlier, not after the way he looked at me like I was already guilty before I even spoke. But Damien always had that habit coming back when he couldn’t fully silence his own doubts.He found me in a quiet corridor, away from the noise of the building. The air felt colder here, or maybe it was just the absence of people that made everything feel sharper. I didn’t turn immediately when I heard his footsteps.I already knew it was him.“Evelyn,” he called, his voice tight, controlled, but not calm.I finally turned to face him.He looked different from earlier. Less explosive, more contained. That kind of restraint usually meant something worse was coming. His eyes studied me like he was trying to find cracks in my expression, like he was searching for proof of something he already believed.“You shouldn’t have walked away like that,” he said.I did

    Damien’s POVI ran without thinking my footsteps hitting the floor hard like my heart was racing out of my chest.The air felt thin and sharp like I was breathing through panic.I heard Chloe before I fully saw her.She was on the ground by the wall shaking and crying. Her hands were over her stomach like she was protecting something“Damien," she sobbed, her voice breaking. "She pushed me.”My steps stopped for a second. My mind didn't.I turned quickly looking for the person she was accusing.Evelyn was a meters away.She looked calm like nothing was wrong.There was no panic on her face, no shock, no fear. Only calmness that made her hard to read like she knew something I didn't.“She pushed you?" I repeated, my voice low.Chloe nodded, crying harder. "I didn’t do anything Damien. I was just standing there. She pushed me. I almost fell. I almost hurt the baby.”The

I could not get away from it no matter how hard I tried.Damien had started spending time with Evelyn. That made me feel funny. I used to be so sure of myself. Now I was not so sure.At first I told myself I was just being silly. Damien had chosen me. He had left Evelyn behind. He had said we would be together.The more I watched him the more I wondered. He seemed distant. His mind was different. Even when he sat with me I felt like he was still thinking about Evelyn.That scared me. I had given up a lot to be with Damien.

It made me feel more scared.Because babies can not make people s

    Evelyn’s POV The first thing I noticed was the faint beeping of a machine beside me, followed by a sharp, throbbing pain that split through my head like something had cracked inside it. My eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the harsh white lights of the hospital ceiling above me, and a low groan escaped my lips because even the smallest movement sent pain through my entire body.Memories came back in fragments. The steps, Tiffany’s face, the confrontation, and the moment everything went wrong replayed in my mind like broken pieces trying to connect. My stomach tightened immediately as the realization settled in that something serious had happened.“You’re up.”The familiar voice pulled me back to reality. I turned my head slowly and saw Sophia standing beside the bed, her face softening the moment she noticed my eyes were open. She looked like she had been waiting a long time for this moment.“How lo

Everyone knew what had happened.My old colleagues stopped taking my calls. My messages went unread for days.

They were talking about the investigation and the security footage and the police.My name was everywhere. Every comment fel

I saw that it was my mom.I got a feeling in my chest right away. My mom, Victoria, does not call me late at night unless something is wrong.I picked up the phone without waiting. "Mom?"There was a pause on the other end of the line. When she finally spoke her voice sounded really tense."Damien, we need to talk."I Put the papers aside. There was something about her tone that made me feel uneasy."Whats going on?"She paused again. Then she said five words that made my heart stop."Evelyn knows everything."For a moment I could not breathe. I held the phone so tightly that my hand started to hurt."What do you mean?""Come here now."The call ended before I could ask her anything. I got to her house in thirty minutes.My m
