Chapter seventy one.Evelyn's POV."No...no...no...Olivia, don't!" I begged, desperation creeping into my voice. But she just let out a hiss, her eyes flashing with anger. "What makes you think I'll listen to you?" she sneered, her tone dripping with contempt. I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice."Stand up," she barked, and Alex stood up, his hands behind his back, his expression unreadable. Olivia gestured to the driver, who immediately picked me up, his grip like a vice. I struggled against him, panic rising up, but he held me firm."Don't hurt her," Alex barked, his voice firm, but Olivia just let out a mocking laugh, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "You should think about yourself first, not her, Mr. Lover Lover," she sneered, her tone dripping with venom. Alex rolled his eyes, a mixture of frustration and disdain on his face, as if he was tired of Olivia's games. “Prepare yourself for the worst…,” she paused and burst into laughter again. “Evelyn, humiliated m

Chapter seventy three.Evelyn's POV.I turned to face Alex as he snapped his fingers at me, a hint of annoyance flickering across my face. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, his eyes curious. I shook my head, dismissing the thought. "Nothing," I replied, tearing my gaze away from the tire. Letting out a weary sigh, I mumbled, "Let's go in." We entered the house, and I dropped my things on the couch, yawning. Alex's unexpected "Thank you" caught my attention, and I turned to face him, raising an eyebrow. "For?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.As Alex placed his hands on mine, his words filled with gratitude, I felt a warmth spread through my chest. "For taking up the case and fighting till the last moment," he said, his voice sincere. I chuckled, covering his hands with mine. "We did this," I corrected, but Alex shook his head."No, we got to this stage because of you," he insisted. "You fought to the end, you made my battle yours." His words were heartfelt, but what caught

Chapter seventy five.Alex's POV.I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes, my head throbbing in protest. I let out a hiss as I tried to stand up, but I was pulled backwards. That's when I turned and saw Evelyn wrapped around me. At first, my eyes widened in surprise, but then memories of the previous night came flooding back. Tequila, laughter, and...this. A smile crept onto my face as I stared at her peaceful expression. I couldn't help but wonder: had I already fallen for this queen beside me? The thought sent a flutter through my chest, and I couldn't deny the connection I felt.I leaned in, my lips brushing against her neck. She stirred, mumbling incoherently as she turned toward me. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I gazed at her peaceful face. This was the Evelyn I remembered from our childhood days – the one who clung to my hand, who always wanted to be by my side.My smile lingered as I studied her features. I had envisioned our first sex differently, but it seemed fate had

Chapter 77Alex's POV.I buried my face in the stack of papers on my desk, trying to distract myself from the ache in my chest. Thoughts of Evelyn and her rejection swirled in my mind, refusing to let up. I recalled the unwavering look on her face, the way she had bluntly said it. The memory hurt, and my heart clenched in response.I couldn't explain my feelings, so I came to the office to focus on work, perhaps it might help. My secretary sent over some files, and I tried to distract myself by going through them. I just didn't want to think about Evelyn. She's the only woman I've ever wanted my whole life. I've never looked at anyone else. Even when I thought her father was behind my misery, I still can't help how I feel about her.

"I mean, you seem a bit... distracted," she said gently.I w
