Evelyn's POV

This morning I felt a lot better than I had the night before. My body was still weak. The bad pain in my stomach was not as strong so I could focus on the work that brought Sebastian and me to this city.

"You should stay in the hotel for another day."

Sebastian said as we went up the elevator to the conference floor. He looked at my face to make sure I was not hiding another wave of pain.

"I am well enough to work," I said. "We did not come here to

    Evelyn's POV I agreed to meet Damien for one reason. It had nothing to do with him.It was because of my father. Nothing else mattered.The hospital lobby was very quiet that afternoon. Doctors and nurses moved through the corridors. Families waited anxiously outside the transplant center.I found Damien standing near the windows. He turned when he saw me approaching.A faint smile crossed his face. It disappeared when he realized I wasn't smiling back."You came." "I came for my father." His expression stiffened. Then he nodded toward a private consultation room."We should talk inside." I followed him. The door closed behind us. The hallway noises were left outside.Neither of us spoke away. The silence between us felt heavy.Damien finally broke it. "Your father has an opportunity." I folded my arms. "Get to the point." He took a breath. Then he placed d

    Evelyn's POV The split had changed all. My future was mine only.There were no hopes waiting for me at home. There was no one to choose what I should be?A week after I got back from the work trip, I went into Sebastian's room. It was calm inside, and the sun shone through the tall windows.He looked away from the papers on his desk, "You made a choice.""I did."He shut the book in front of him. His focus was all on me now."I'd like to accept your offer."A light grin showed on his face it was tiny but real"I'm glad."He pushed a file over the table. Inside was an official job deal.I looked at every page with care. The more I looked, the more shocked I got.There were no strange rules. There were no secret parts that held back my power.I glanced at Sebastian. "This gives me full power over a lab.""It does."I frowned slightly. "Including recruitm

    Evelyn's POV The first thing I noticed after I left my room was how quiet it was. It didn't last long.The moment I stepped into the hallway several people looked at me before looking away. Their reactions felt weird.Almost uncomfortable. I frowned a bit. I kept walking toward the elevator.My phone vibrated in my hand. The screen was filled with lots of notifications.News articles, messages and social media tags showed up one after another. I was curious so I opened the headline."Business. Secret Lovers? Evelyn Sinclair and Sebastian Cross Caught in a Hotel Moment."I stared at the screen. Then I opened the pictures.The images showed Sebastian carrying me through the hotel parking garage after the attack. From the angle they were taken it looked like we were hugging.The headlines did the rest. I closed the article.A slow breath came out of my mouth. People weren't interested in the tr

    Damien's POVI hadn't slept.The moment I closed my eyes I saw Evelyn lying unconscious in that hotel room. All the memories from the two days replayed in my mind until my phone vibrated against the desk.At first I ignored it. It kept ringing until I finally picked it up. The screen was flooded with messages most from reporters and the rest from business associates.The headline attached to every message was the same."Sinclair CEOs Wife Seen in Moment with Sebastian Cross."My stomach tightened. I opened the article without thinking.The first photograph filled the screen. Sebastian was carrying Evelyn through the hotel parking garage. It looked intimate. Personal. Not like a rescue. I swiped to the picture then another. Every angle had been carefully chosen to tell a story that wasn't true.The comments below were even worse. “They've been having an affair.” “Poor Damien Sinclair.”

    Evelyn's POVI woke up to the sound of voices outside my hotel room. The medicine had helped with the pain. My body still felt really heavy.Every part of me hurt as I remembered what happened yesterday. The bathroom, the shot, the fight and Sebastian.I closed my eyes for a second before opening them. The room was quiet now.Sebastian was sitting by the window reading some papers with the calm face he always has. When he saw I was awake he put the papers down. Came over to me."How are you feeling?" "Better." It was not entirely true. It was close enough."The doctor said the bad effects of the drug are going away." Sebastian told me.I nodded slowly. "Thank you." "You do not need to thank me." Before we could say anything I heard loud voices in the hallway. One voice was louder than the others."Move." I froze because I knew that voice away.A late

    Sebastian's POV The doctor stayed beside Evelyn's bed after finishing another check-up. He looked calm. His eyes still showed concern."The medicine will stay in her system for more hours," he said quietly. "She might wake up. Fall asleep again and the fever is normal."I looked at Evelyn. Her face was red now."Will she be okay?" I asked."I think so." The doctor adjusted the IV before continuing. "We need to watch her closely tonight.""I'll stay."The doctor looked at me for a moment. He seemed happy with my answer before packing up his things."If her breathing changes or she doesn't respond for a long time, call me right away.""I will."After he left the room was quiet again. The heart monitor and the soft rain outside were the sounds.I pulled a chair closer to the bed. That was where I wanted to be.An hour passed without anything changing. Then Evelyn moved under t
