The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Seventy Eight
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 Seventy Five
CharlieI couldn't think straight. Every minute, my mind drifted back to her, wondering where she was, how she was doing, and hoping Julian hadn't laid a hand on her or my son.I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, telling myself to sleep. But sleep never came.Sometime around two in the morning, exhaustion finally pulled me under. The darkness carried me somewhere I never wanted to see again.A room I didn't recognize.Evelyn lay on the floor while Julian stood over her, his hands were wrapped around her throat.I ran toward them, but my legs refused to move.The distance never closed.I screamed her name, “Eveeeeeeeeey!” yet no sound came out.I bolted upright, the room was dark and silent.I dragged both hands over my face and remained there for a long moment."Madam Laura." My voice carried farther than I intended.Within minutes, my housekeeper appeared at the door, tying the belt of her robe."Sir?""Bring me the whiskey," I requested. "The bottle, not a glass."She studied me b
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Seventy Four
EvelynIt was obvious he hated me.Every look he gave me, every moment of distance, the way he had pulled away when I kissed him as though I had burned him, broke me in ways I couldn't begin to describe.But I wasn't going to give up.I made that decision the morning after the kiss. I lay in my separate room, staring at the ceiling while the house gradually came to life. Leo's laughter drifted down the hallway, where Julian was probably taking him through the morning routine I had always handled.If Julian intended to keep his distance, I would close it without making my intentions obvious.After breakfast, a member of the staff approached me about the week's grocery order."Ms. Hart, what would you like on the menu this week?"I smiled."Ask Mr. Julian. Whatever he decides works for me."She blinked in surprise before nodding and walking off to find him.I watched her leave, keeping my expression perfectly neutral. Did she think I was now the woman of the house?Small things.If Juli
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Seventy Three
JulianI could tell she was desperate to speak to me. I deliberately acted as though I hadn't noticed, but I saw every attempt because I wanted her to need me.For three days, she had lingered at the edges of every room, finding excuses to walk past wherever I was. She always paused a little too long before turning away whenever I failed to acknowledge her.I made sure to keep my distance.Every morning, I took Leo to breakfast myself. I asked about his dreams, his favorite cartoons, or whatever happened to be on his mind, giving him my full attention while Evelyn sat across the table receiving nothing more than a polite nod."Uncle Julian, do you want to see my drawing?" Leo asked one morning, sliding a sheet of paper across the table."Show me everything," I replied, leaning forward.Evelyn watched us quietly, saying nothing.Neither did I.The separate room had been intentional. The staff had been briefed before she even arrived, and I knew exactly what that small detail would do t

CharlieI couldn't hold myself anymore. I stormed out of the center soon after Serena was lifted out. I had faced enough embarrassment that should last me a lifetime."Charlie," Frank grabbed my arm the moment I pushed back from my seat, "just wait, just stop for one second…""Get off me Frank," I

Evelyn"Did you see his face," Julian murmured beside me, and I pressed my fingers over my mouth because the laugh that was building behind it was not the kind appropriate for a room full of investors and business executives."I saw it," I replied, keeping my eyes forward and my expression composed

CharlieI could not believe it, I was either hearing things or Evelyn was standing on that stage reading my idea out for the whole world to see.I sat completely still in my seat while my mind ran the same calculation three times and arrived at the same answer each time, and the answer was that the

EvelynFinally, the day that I would make a public show out of Charlie and his company."You are doing that thing again," Julian said from across the breakfast table.I looked up. "What thing.""The thing where you stare at nothing and your jaw goes tight," he replied, reaching across and pushing m
