The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Eighty One
JulianReconciliation had only bridged the gap between us but I wanted more, I needed to say those words that would finally put me back together, and I did not know yet if that wanting was part of the plan or something that had broken loose from it entirely.Three weeks since the apology cake and the kneeling and the forgiveness, and something in the house had shifted in a way I had not fully anticipated.Leo noticed it first, the way children notice things before adults admit them."You are both happy now," he announced one morning at breakfast, looking between us with the satisfied expression of someone who had personally arranged the outcome."Eat your food Leo," Evelyn told him."I am just saying," he replied, unbothered, returning to his pancakes.I caught her eye across the table and looked away before either of us could make anything of it.We had fallen back into the rhythm that had always been ours, the easy shorthand of two people who had built something together, finishing

CharlieThe workers had started looking at me in a way that made me uncomfortable, but at the same time, I did not seem to care.I walked into the office that morning and stopped at my secretary's desk. She looked up, and something flickered across her face before she quickly composed herself."Good morning," I said. "What's on the schedule today?"She blinked. "Sir... are you okay?""Yes," I replied. "I'm fine. Just brief me.""Of course, sir." She straightened in her chair. "I'll put everything together and bring it to you right away."I nodded and walked past her into my office, closing the door behind me.It was as though they had all hoped not to see me again. Or, at the very least, they had not prepared themselves for the possibility that I might show up one morning and carry on as though everything was normal.It wasn't.But I was not about to give anyone the satisfaction of watching me fall apart behind my own desk.Serena's breakdown had been the worst thing to happen to this
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Seventy Nine
EvelynThe last time I made an attempt, it had almost led to a brawl. The way he had looked at me had softened for a second before the warmth vanished as quickly as it came, and I had spent the last three weeks turning that moment over in my mind, trying to make sense of it.I was not giving up.I woke up before anyone else that morning, went straight to the kitchen, and told the chef to take a break.She looked at me uncertainly. "Ma'am?""Go and rest," I told her, already tying on an apron. "I'll handle the kitchen this morning."She hesitated."Are you sure?"I smiled. "I've got this."That seemed to settle it. She nodded, slipped out, and I turned to the counter.Today, I was going to make him a full-course breakfast.For the starter, I decided on Greek yogurt with granola. I prepared it first and set it neatly on the tray.Next came his favorite, fluffy pancakes topped with whipped strawberry-flavored cream, served with fresh orange slices and eggs.Every recipe followed the ste

FrankI was not going to lose Serena to this bloody war, not to Charlie, and certainly not to anyone else.I drove away from the house with her words still echoing in my mind. The way she had looked at me when she asked about the child. That particular look she wore whenever she already knew the answer and was simply waiting to see whether I would lie to her. I had lied anyway because what else was I supposed to do? Tell her the truth and watch everything unravel?I needed a drink.I pulled into the first bar I found, pushed through the door, dropped heavily onto a stool, and looked at the man behind the counter."The strongest thing you have."He poured the drink without asking a single question.I finished the first glass faster than I should have and pushed it forward for another. The man beside me glanced over briefly before looking away. I stared at the bottles lined up behind the counter and thought about Serena's face, Julian's dismissiveness, and the particular exhaustion of
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Seventy Seven
SerenaI sat at the dining table with a cookie in my hand, thinking about how clean everything was about to become.Evelyn would be first. Then Charlie would have nowhere left to run.Julian and Frank would be long gone before anyone started asking questions, and I would walk back into my life as though none of this had ever happened.A quiet laugh escaped me as I took another bite of the cookie.Frank must really take me for a fool. If that child truly existed, if Charlie and Evelyn really had a child together, then that pathetic fool had hidden it from me all this time.Charlie would pay for it.And the child...The child would disappear too.The television had been my only company for days.Out of boredom, I switched it on and flipped through the channels until a familiar face stopped me cold.A journalist sat across from two women I recognized immediately.Old friends.The kind who attended charity galas, birthday parties, and apparently television interviews."Who do you think Mr

JulianI came out of Leo's room and saw Evelyn stepping away from the side table where I had left my phone, and my stomach dropped before she even turned around.She was calm, too calm.She looked up when she heard me and smiled, the kind of smile that gave nothing away.“Goodnight Julian.” She walked to her room quietly. I stood in the corridor and watched her door close and then crossed to the side table and picked up my phone.The text was still on the screen.“Everything is ready, we just need her there.”I looked at the preview and at the angle from which she had been standing and did the calculation and felt cold move through me."Damn it," I muttered.But she had said nothing, shown nothing, and I could not tell if that meant she had not seen it or if she had seen it and was doing exactly what I would do in her position, keeping it close and saying nothing and waiting.I did not sleep well.The next morning I came downstairs to find Evelyn already in the kitchen, her hair tied
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Fifty Two
CharlieMy heart stopped the moment Julian claimed Evelyn had a child.I caught up with him halfway down the corridor, grabbing his arm and pulling him around to face me."It is a lie," I stammered, "you are joking right, tell me you are joking."Julian looked at me with the expression of a man who
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Forty Nine
CharlieSeeing Serena with a gun pressed against Evelyn's head was one thing, standing beside the man who was possibly in love with her while watching it happen was another thing entirely.The special unit had moved fast once we pleaded over the phones, no unnecessary conversation, no wasted motio
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Forty Eight
EvelynSerena was snickering again, that low private sound she made when she thought she had already won something.I did not know if she was planning to kill me and dump my body somewhere no one would find it, but whatever her plan was I was not going to die easily, not here, not like this, not ti
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Forty Six
EvelynI continued to scream hoping that my voice would make someone come to my rescue, whoever Serena was speaking to on that phone, I needed them to hear me, needed them to know I was here, needed that one thread of sound to travel far enough to matter.The call ended.Serena turned from the phon
