chapter 81

Damien POVThe days following the media explosion blurred into each other. Evelyn was back at the penthouse, but there was an invisible weight between us. The headlines didn’t let up. They called her a liar. A climber. Opportunistic. Some even dragged up her past , twisting facts into venomous clickbait.Watching her suffer in silence set something inside me on fire.I tried to fix what I could—called in favors, leveraged contacts—but damage like this was designed to be cruel, not logical. Her business was bleeding clients by the hour, her name poisoned by a rumor that wasn’t just malicious… it was tactical.I met Chris at a low-key bar we used when we needed to talk without cameras in our faces.“Who knew the truth about the engagement?” he asked after I filled him in.“Just me, Evelyn, you… and Eric.”Chris frowned. “Eric.

Damien POVThe morning after Evelyn’s press conference was unnervingly quiet. The kind of silence that comes after a bomb goes off — not peace, but pause. I sat in the study, surrounded by mahogany shelves and the scent of old paper and tobacco, sifting through the chaos left behind. Headlines changed overnight.“Evelyn Hayes Reclaims Her Voice”“From Pawn to Powerhouse: Socialite Turned Advocate”“Fake Fiancée or Feminist Icon?”I leaned back in the leather chair, rubbing the fatigue from my eyes. She had done it — stood in front of the world and told her truth. No script. No PR team. Just raw, vulnerable truth. And the world, for once, had listened.The irony wasn’t lost on me. This engagement had started as smoke and mirrors, a carefully arranged illusion to shield my family’s unraveling legacy. But now, Evelyn was the only thing in my life that felt real.
