Evelyn

It seemed like everything was finally back to normal between us, I still had my doubts but my hopes were greater.

I reached for Julian's side of the bed before I opened my eyes and found nothing but cold sheets.

I sat up.

The room was empty, his side was undisturbed except for the faint indent in the pillow that told me he had actually been there at some point and had gotten up quietly enough that I had not stirred.

I pulled on my robe and walked out into the hallway.

"Amanda," I called.

  • The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match    Chapter Forty Five

    CharlieMy phone chimed with a text and my heart immediately skipped.I looked at the screen expecting Frank's name but it was a number I did not recognize, and below it a string of digits with a short message that read, Julian Carver, Evelyn's business partner, call him.Before I could process it my phone buzzed again, Frank calling back."Yo bro," Frank said the moment I picked up, "I could not get her number but I got you the next best thing, that guy she was with at the gala, Julian, I sent you his number, call him, I am sure he can reach her.""Frank, thank you," I replied, already pulling the number back up, "seriously, thank you.""Do not make it weird," Frank muttered and ended the call.I dialed Julian immediately, standing beside Evelyn's empty car in the middle of an empty road with her ID card still in my hand.He picked up on the third ring."Julian Carver," he answered, his voice was crisp and alert for a man receiving a call from an unknown number at this hour."Hi, thi

    Evelyn"What the fuck Serena," I screamed.She stood in front of me with her arms crossed and her head tilted with that slow unbothered smile that I had grown up watching her use on people she had already decided she had won against."Well, well, well," she murmured, moving around me slowly, "look who we have here, tied to a chair like some animal.""Serena, watch your tone," I snapped.She stopped walking and turned to face me and the smile sharpened. "Or what?" She stepped closer, close enough that I could smell her perfume, the same one she had worn since we were teenagers."You are going to call the police?" She laughed, low and unhurried. "That is all the power you have got, but me," she spread her arms slightly, "I have all the weapons that can blow your head clean off your shoulders." She tilted her chin. "Look around you."I looked.Men lined the walls, four of them at least, armed in a way that made the room feel smaller than it already was, their expressions were flat and co

  • The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match    Chapter Forty Three

    CharlieWhat in the world was wrong with Serena.I was reading her text for the third time when Frank caught up with me in the parking lot, slightly out of breath, his jacket was open and his keys were jangling in his hand."Bro, we have to talk," he called out, falling into step beside me."Not now Frank," I muttered, my eyes were still on the screen."Would not be home tonight. Love, wifey." I read it again and felt something between relief and suspicion because with Serena those two things were rarely far apart."Serena is crazy," I announced, not entirely to Frank, "Serena is damn crazy."Frank slowed. "What is the matter?""Nothing," I replied, shoving the phone into my pocket, "I am just tired, what does she even mean she will not be home tonight, where the hell is she going?"Frank looked at me for a moment and then did the thing he always did when he thought I was overreacting, which was laugh, the short easy laugh of a man who had never been married to Serena."Just one of th

  • The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match    Chapter Forty Two

    EvelynI had waited for Julian to come home, not because I missed him, well not entirely, but because I wanted to see the look on his face when he found out I was going somewhere he had absolutely no idea about.He did not come home.By seven the makeup artist was packing up her kit and looking at me the way people look at something they are proud of."Ma'am," she said quietly, stepping back to take me in fully, "I have been doing this for eleven years and I have never seen such beauty in all my life."I smiled at my reflection and said nothing because there was nothing to add.The gold dress hit differently tonight, sharper somehow, and my hair was pinned in a way that made my neck look long and my posture deliberate, and I looked exactly like a woman who had somewhere to be and intended to be felt when she arrived.I walked to Leo's room first.He was already asleep, one arm thrown over his face the way he always slept, his mouth was slightly open, his toy figures lined up along the

  • The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match    Chapter Forty One

    CharlieAfter crazy Serena had burned the papers, I was utterly convinced that I was not getting out of this marriage easily.I had sat in front of that fireplace for a long time after she went back to bed, staring at the ash, and the thing that kept circling my mind was not the inconvenience of reprinting documents or the delay to the legal process, it was the calm on her face when she turned around, the absolute absence of regret, like she had done something completely reasonable and was prepared to do it again.I called Harrison first thing that morning."She burned them," I said when he picked up.He paused for a second. "The divorce papers?""Every page. She burnt everything."He kept quiet, longer this time. "Are you somewhere you can talk?""I am in my car," I replied, pulling out of the driveway before Serena could appear at a window and watch me leave."Alright," Harrison sighed, I could hear him thinking, the particular silence of a man reorganizing his approach. "This is n

    EvelynIt was funny how Julian was quick to dismiss what I had seen, he did not even try to convince me otherwise, he just went straight into talking me out of it.I had lain awake most of the night replaying it, the way his hand had closed around my wrist before I could even lift the cheque off the vanity, the quiet certainty in his voice when he said that is none of your business, like he had been waiting for exactly that moment and knew precisely what he was going to say when it came.By morning I had decided I was going to wait, I was going to give him the space to come to me the way he always did, to circle back and explain and make it make sense the way Julian always made things make sense.He came downstairs while I was making Leo's breakfast, dressed already, jacket on, and his phone in his hand."I have to attend to some business," he said from the kitchen doorway.I kept my eyes on the pan. "Okay.""I am not sure how long it will take.""Okay Julian."He paused for a second,
