“Isaac, it’s not your fault,” Evadne replied to her friend, who was very apologetic at that moment. They met at a restaurant that day. Later that night, he would be flying to the US. However, he couldn’t leave the country until he talked to her about the humiliation he had caused her at his own party. “Besides, it’s true that Orion and I have already separated.”“But the real reason for your separation, contrary to what Camila said.”It was confirmed that the rumors spread by Camila were indeed true. She was not happy in her life unless she saw Evadne in disgrace.She sadly smiled. “I don’t know what I did to Camila to deserve being fooled by her. I welcomed her into our home. Fed her. Everything was free. But she still wasn’t satisfied because she even got involved with Orion.”“That bitch wanted it anyway,” Isaac said angrily as he took a sip of water.“Exactly. She wanted it too. Don’t worry, I’m okay now. I’ve accepted that it’s over.”“What angers me more is that he dragged you i

Suddenly, Evadne recalled the moment she saw Gavin again after a month in that same hotel. As he entered the hotel’s main entrance, the hotel staff respectfully bowed to greet him.Now, being with Gavin again and witnessing the same scene, a shiver ran through every inch of her body. It felt like she was walking with a king beside her. If she weren’t beautiful, she would hesitate to stand next to the man. Or if she were of lower status, she might distance herself from Gavin.Gavin’s presence was even more intimidating.It showed how wealthy he was and how the hotel staff respected him, just like her parents.“Is this how your staff always behaves when you arrive at the hotel?” she couldn’t help but ask as they waited for the elevator, reserved exclusively for the hotel owner – which went straight to Gavin’s penthouse on the top floor of the Wright Hotel.“Hmmm. They’re used to it. They were the same with my parents,” Gavin casually replied. You couldn’t tell if he was proud or boastin

Evadne stirred as she felt the light kiss that Gavin showered on her face.“At last, you’re awake,” Gavin said with a smile as Evadne slowly opened her eyes. “Good morning, sweetie.”A smile played on Evadne’s lips as she first saw Gavin’s handsome face. It was already morning, and Gavin had awakened earlier than her. Fatigue from the previous night made her sleep longer.“Good morning,” she greeted, her voice almost hoarse.Gavin kissed her on the lips again. “Let’s have breakfast. The dining area is ready. Unless you want me as your breakfast?”“I’ll get up now,” she replied with a laugh, rising from her lying position. Gavin helped her sit up.But he didn’t immediately let her go, pulling her into an embrace.“Gavin, I need to use the bathroom,” she complained. She felt like her bladder was about to burst.“Okay. Make it fast,” he said, giving her another kiss before releasing her.“Hmmm,” she murmured, trailing her fingers across his cheek before finally getting out of bed.Her si

Evadne clutched the bathroom door handle. She felt dizzy that morning. Alone in her apartment, she decided to deal with her discomfort on her own. Believing that proper rest would make her feel better, she resolved to take a nap.As she was about to step out of the bathroom, she suddenly felt a twist in her stomach. Hastily, she rushed towards the toilet bowl and vomited the breakfast she had earlier.What was happening to her?Even the morning meal she had consumed was expelled from her system.When Evadne felt that she had nothing left to throw up, she rinsed her mouth and brushed her teeth to get rid of the taste. Deciding to lie down and rest, fatigue quickly overcame Evadne.Upon waking up before noon, her condition had improved. The headache from earlier had subsided due to a good rest.When she checked her cellphone, she noticed numerous missed calls and text messages from Gavin. He was out of town with his personal assistant and was scheduled to return to New York the next day

As the private jet soared smoothly through the sky, Evadne unfastened the seat belt strapped around her and approached Gavin for a hug. It seemed they had the same intention, as he was about to remove his seat belt as well, only to be preempted by her. As she embraced Gavin, he, in turn, pulled her onto his lap. He reciprocated the hug.“I love you,” Gavin once again expressed with full affection.Tears still welled up in her eyes as she looked at him. “You do?”“Isn’t it obvious yet?”Evadne bit her lower lip slightly to prevent herself from bursting into tears. She was too emotional, unable to help it.Gavin took a handkerchief from his pants pocket, gently wiping away the tears on her cheek.“Sweetie, don’t cry,” he pleaded softly.“I can’t help it, Gavin. I’m just happy to hear those words from you.”A smile formed on Gavin’s lips as he hugged her again, using the handkerchief to wipe away her tears this time. Evadne pressed her face against Gavin’s neck, and he didn’t complain ab
