All Chapters of Once Upon a Story of Us: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Evelyn Walsh was completely lost in Matteo Gallagher's kiss inside the car.Her clothes had been stripped away while he remained impeccably dressed. The stark contrast between them made her flush with embarrassment.Matteo wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer as he whispered with a low chuckle, "The partition is up. The driver can't hear anything, and he wouldn't dare to, anyway. What are you so shy about, hmm?"Evelyn's heart swelled with affection as she watched the usually reserved man's movement grow rougher. Just as waves of pleasure surged through her, sending her to the edge, an unexpected ringtone shattered the moment.Being interrupted like this made Matteo frown in irritation, but when he saw the caller ID, he still answered.Through her ragged breaths, Evelyn caught sight of the name on the screen. It was his closest friend, Alex Hall."Matteo, have you lost your—"Matteo's expression darkened as he cut him off in perfect Haranese. "It's inconvenient no

Matteo pinned the group's leader to the ground and landed punch after punch, showing no mercy until they were all bloodied and begging for forgiveness."We're sorry, Mr. Gallagher! We messed up! Please, have mercy and let us go!""Get lost! If I ever catch you near her again, you'll regret it!" he barked, his fury sending them scrambling away, practically tripping over themselves.A crowd had gathered in the stairwell, watching the scene unfold.Ignoring the prying eyes, Matteo helped Rebecca to her feet. "Are you hurt?"Rebecca threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face like a damsel in distress. "I twisted my ankle. It hurts so bad."Matteo's expression darkened. Without hesitation, he scooped her up in his arms, pushing through the crowd as he strode away.In his haste to shield Rebecca, he accidentally shoved Evelyn aside.Her head slammed against the hard stair, and a gash opened up, blood trickling down, shocking the onlookers."You're bleeding! Someone c

The conversation came to an abrupt halt.Evelyn, her steps unsteady, walked forward and snatched her phone back, ending the call.Matteo stared at her in shock, not understanding why she was so worked up. "What's wrong?"Seeing his confusion, she knew he hadn't heard the rest of what Caroline had said. She let out a quiet sigh of relief, averted her gaze, and tried to sound as calm as possible. "Nothing, I just don't want you guys fighting over me anymore."For the past few weeks, the Gallagher family had been making a fuss about him being with Evelyn, constantly trying to break them up. Matteo had argued with them several times over it.Hearing her say that, Matteo didn't press further and instead asked about her test results."The doctor said it's nothing serious. I can be discharged."For the next few days at home, Matteo barely left the house, staying by Evelyn's side.She wasn't as lively as before, no longer smiling as much. Most of the time, she just sat in a corner, sta

It was the early hours of the morning when Evelyn finally dragged her exhausted body home.The moment she turned on the lights, her phone buzzed several times.It was a message from Rebecca."You've been liking all my social media posts, so you must already know that Matteo and I are legally married, right? He also promised me a wedding in Mauwai. I saw the venue plans. It's absolutely grand."Every single detail is exactly what we used to dream about when we were younger. I can't believe he still remembers after all these years."I should also thank you. If it weren't for you, Matteo wouldn't have regained his sight. Really, I owe you for taking care of my husband for seven whole years."Reading the blatant mockery, Evelyn didn't even have the energy to be angry anymore.She went straight to her bedroom, lay down, and fell into a deep sleep.That night, Matteo still didn't come home. The only thing he sent was a text message."Eve, I still have some things to take care of. Is

When Evelyn got home, she pulled out a suitcase and started packing up the last of her things.She kept busy until the early hours of the morning. Matteo still hadn't come back, but she no longer cared.The next day, Evelyn went to the immigration office to collect all her documents.On the way back, she booked a flight for that afternoon.As soon as the car pulled up to the house, she saw a Maybach parked in the driveway. Instinctively, she quickened her pace.The moment she stepped into the bedroom, she saw Matteo standing beside her suitcase, as if about to open it.Panic surged through her, and she blurted out, "Weren't you with Rebecca? Why are you back?"Matteo froze. Slowly, he turned around, and for the first time, there was anger in his eyes.He walked up to her, exasperation clear in his voice."Eve, what are you overthinking this time? I already told you. I have nothing to do with Rebecca anymore."Nothing to do with her anymore? Yet, he married her to protect her.
