Chapter Forty One: Morning Package

EVELYN'S POV:As I sat on the couch, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. Curiosity gnawed at me, and my mind raced with questions.What are they hiding from me?The uncertainty fueled my frustration and anger. If something serious was happening, why wasn’t I being informed?I couldn’t help myself anymore. I needed answers. I need to know what happened to me.That isn't too much of a request.“Dad, please,” I said, trying to sound calm, though my voice betrayed me. “Someone tell me what’s going on.”My dad stood and placed a hand on my shoulder. “Relax, dear. You just need to rest and eat something. We can talk later.”But his words didn’t reassure me. I turned to Leonard, who was trying hard to appear composed, though I could see through his forced smile. I gave him a soft questioning look.“Leonard,” I asked, my voice firmer, “can you please tell me what’s going on? Don't you think I deserve to know?”Leonard smiled softly and placed a hand on my arm. “Everything is fine, Ev

Overwhelmed with joy, I jumped on him, giving him a tight hug.“Thank you so much!” I exclaimed, tears welling up in my eyes. Everything was so beautiful and alluring.We spent the next few minutes unboxing the gifts, and I was amazed at how thoughtful they were. Leonard had truly outdone himself. No words could express my gratitude. I looked into his eyes and said, “Thank you, Leonard. This means so much to me.”Just then, there was a knock on the door, and my dad entered without waiting for a response. His face showed surprise at the sight of all the gifts. I quickly told him they were from Leonard, and he thanked him graciously.But then, my dad asked Leonard to excuse us. Once Leonard left, my dad looked at me seriously and asked, “What’s going on between you and Leonard?” His voice was filled with emotio

Chapter Forty-Three: A Little Birthday Sex

EVELYN'S POV:"Happy birthday, Evelyn," Leonard whispered in my ear.I stood in front of the Bentley Continental GT, stunned and speechless. It was everything I’d ever dreamed of. Overwhelmed, I walked to the car, took the keys from one of the guards, and ignited the engine. The smooth hum sent a thrill through me, and I screamed a thank you from inside before stepping out.The car was stunning, a perfect reflection of my long-held wish. I couldn’t hold back my excitement and jumped into Leonard’s arms, wrapping myself around his neck. "Thank you so much!" I exclaimed, tears of joy streaming down my face. Overcome with emotion, I kissed him, and he deepened the kiss, making the world around us fade for a moment.

Chapter Forty-Four: Leaving No Stone Unturned

LEONARD'S POV:As she hugged me, her warmth wrapped around me like a soothing balm. Her body was soft yet strong, and I felt an inexplicable calm in her presence. I didn’t want to leave—I didn’t need to—but I had to. The longer I stayed, the more drawn I became to her. The attraction was undeniable, yet it made me uneasy.When I looked into her eyes, they held a serene, unreadable expression. Was she as calm as she appeared, or was there something she was holding back? I wished, more than anything, that I could take away all her troubles, that I could shield her from everything weighing her down.“Goodbye, Leonard,” she said softly, the words pulling me out of my spiraling thoughts. She repeated them as if trying to cement the finality of my departure.I nodded, forcing myself to return to reality. “Goodbye, Evelyn,” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper. I turned and left, each step away from her feeling heavier than the last.When I reached the garage, I glanced at the car I ha

Chapter Forty-five: Ruining The Perfect Moment

EVELYN'S POV:As I walked into my house, I couldn't help but think about Aaron and what Leonard had told me. Questions about why Aaron would do something like that filled my heart. Life had a way of teaching harsh lessons, and this was one of them—be careful with people, and don't trust too easily.But I didn’t want to dwell on it for long. I had shared an amazing time with Leonard the night before, and I didn’t want anything to ruin those memories. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, forcing Aaron's thoughts out of my mind.Instead, I focused on how Leonard had surprised me with the car and how we had spent the day together, laughing and joking. The way he looked at me, with so much care and affection, lingered in my mind. He made me feel like I was the only person in the world who mattered. I hadn’t felt this way about anyone before, but I could tell when I loved someone and when they cared for me in return. I couldn’t hide it anymore—I loved Leonard.I wasn’t going to let thou

Chapter Forty Six: I Think She Knows

EVELYN'S POV:At the first ring, Leonard picked up the call. His calm voice greeted me, and I wasted no time asking if he could come to my place for the night, whenever he was done with what he was doing.“As it pleases her majesty,” he teased, his tone light and playful.I explained to him that I was heading to see my dad but reassured him that my place would remain unlocked. It took so much discipline not to share the good news about my project approval with him right away. I wanted to tell him face-to-face and see his reaction.Once I was ready, I stepped out of my room, eager to meet my dad. However, as I entered his house, it was eerily quiet. Confusion began to take hold.“Dad?” I called out, but there was no response.I headed to his bedroom door, only to find it locked. My confusion quickly turned into fear.“Dad?” I called again, my voice more urgent as I rushed back to the living room.Just then, the lights flickered on, and there he was, standing with a bottle of wine in hi

Chapter Forty Seven: Office Bendover

EVELYN'S POVAs I sat in the office, my eyes were fixed on the laptop in front of me, one hand resting on my cheek. Though my eyes were on the screen, my thoughts wandered far away. Suddenly, the door creaked open, pulling my attention to the figure standing in the doorway. It was Leonard, and my heart skipped a beat as our eyes met. I glanced at the clock—it was past 6 p.m. I adjusted my chair and sat up straight, attempting to compose myself.As I stared at Leonard, my imagination took over for a moment. He looked like he had just stepped out of an oven—hot and fresh. I could almost pounce on him. A smile crept onto his face as his eyes stayed locked on mine, and I felt my heart flutter.We hadn’t spoken a word since he entered, but the tension between us was undeniable. I found my breaths shallow and labored—it was like I couldn’t breathe. That was when I finally understood the concept of, “you take my breath away.”Leonard broke the silence, his voice low and husky. “Evelyn, I’m s

Chapter Forty-Eight: Who Sent You?

EVELYN'S POVIt was the first time I'd seen Leonard so cold and detached. His piercing gaze bore into Aaron's soul, and his voice was firm and commanding. The tension in the room was palpable, like the sharp crackle of high-voltage electricity, I watched Leonard’s personality switch.I struggled to collect myself, focusing on the unfolding situation. Aaron was pleading his innocence, insisting he had done nothing wrong. But Leonard wasn’t buying it. His anger was evident in the tight lines of his jaw and the sharpness of his tone. “Cut that off.” He said in a cold tone.“The sooner you stop lying, the safer it’ll be for you,” Leonard warned icily.Then came the questions, each one like a carefully aimed bullet:“Why did you ensure Evelyn's project was terminated? Why did you want to bring down the company? Who do you work with? And why do you work with them?”Leonard’s men stood nearby, their expressions stoic and unreadable, ready to act at the slightest cue. I shivered, a cold chill

Chapter Forty Nine: Emotional Distraction

EVELYN'S POV:As I stepped out of the car, I stood for a moment, watching Leonard drive away. A pang pierced my heart. I had chosen to suppress whatever feelings I harbored for him. A tear trickled down my cheek. I watched him turn the car around and drive off. I knew my decisions wouldn't be an easy one.But I had a task to accomplish and I had to stay undistracted.Swallowing my emotions, I went inside. After a quick change of clothes, I went downstairs and got a bottle of water from the kitchen. I needed to catch up with Dad. The classes had to start soon, and I needed to update him about Caleb and Dana, though I still felt uncertain. I was reluctant to leave my room, but summoning all my strength, I forced myself to go.As I stepped out of the house, I took a deep breath and closed the door behind me.When I reached Dad’s place. I saw him seated on the balcony. Quietly, I made my way upstairs to where he sat. He was engrossed in a small book, barely noticing my presence.“Morning

Chapter Fifty: Not Mine To Keep

LEONARD'S POV:As I drove home, my mind raced with thoughts about what the problem could be. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. She has been acting gloomy since at the house. Another thought crept in—maybe this was an opportunity. I had been trying to suppress the feelings I had for Evelyn, and now seemed like the perfect time to create some distance. I’d help her as much as I could, but I’d stay away. It was for the best. We couldn’t be together, not when she was my nephew’s fiancée.Pulling into the driveway, I entered the house and headed straight to my bedroom. Exhaustion weighed me down—I had been up late working on some files the night before and barely had any sleep. I remembered the meeting with Aaron's uncle, but there was no need for that anymore.Cancelled the meeting over a text to him. I collapsed onto the bed, thoughts swirling in my mind, and eventually drifted off.I woke up to the buzzing of my phone, the noise jolting me awake. "Damn it, I forgot to silence my pho
