Evelyn's POV

The first thing I noticed after I left my room was how quiet it was. It didn't last long.

    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

    Sebastian's POV "Evelyn."I glanced at the door of the meeting room for what seemed like the tenth time. She just said she would take a quick break, but almost twenty minutes had gone by.That wasn't like her. Evelyn cared about plans too much to go away without saying a word.If she was late, there was always a cause. I ended the call with a lawyer team and walked back to the meeting area.The hall was more calm now, with just a couple workers walking by. Yet, there was no sign of her.I checked the lounge first. Then the meeting room.Both were blank. A weird feeling sat in my chest.It wasn't fear. Not yet.Just feeling. I walked more down the hallway, looking at every close workroom before stopping by the lifts."Evelyn?" I called. There was no answer.I made a small face and spun around. When I we͏nt back, something on the ground caught my eye.A cell. The display was broken, and

    Evelyn's POV The restroom was really quiet. I was glad for the silence after three hours of talking about money and looking at financial papers.The cool air helped me think clearly as I put my hands on the marble counter and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked really tired.There were circles under my eyes and my face was still pale from what happened the day before. I could not slow down now.We finally had proof of the things people were doing with money. The fake money transactions, the made-up vendors and the missing money all showed that someone was doing something wrong on purpose.I splashed water on my face and took a deep breath. I just needed one day.That was all. Then I would send my report to the office.I reached for a paper towel. Behind me the restroom door opened.I thought another worker had come in. I did not bother to look."Ms. Sinclair."The familiar voice got my at
