Shattered Reflections.

Evangeline POV I have two pieces of news for myself today, one good, one devastating. The good news: I’ve been promoted to the position of Managing Director after three grueling years of breaking my back for a company that barely knew my name when I started. The bad news: according to my doctor, my life force is draining faster than it should. The cancer, primary cardiac angiosarcoma, they call it—has burrowed so deep into my heart that they are giving me only about a year to live, if I’m lucky. I stared at my phone screen as if by glaring hard enough, I could somehow will the email to disappear or change into something else. My fingers trembled slightly around the device, the hospital's sterile scent filling my nostrils. The cheerful chime that had accompanied the promotion email a few minutes ago still rang in my ears, cruelly mocking me. "Mrs. Hart?" I blinked and turned my head slowly toward the door, where Dr. Lawson, my cardiologist, stood, holding a clipboard against

Rejected

Evangeline POV I woke up to the faint glow of morning seeping through the curtain. For a second, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, feeling an odd weight on my chest that had nothing to do with sleep. My limbs ached with tiredness, but something tugged at the edge of my mind. Noah. I bolted upright, my heart skipping a frantic beat. Today was Noah's birthday. Guilt surged through me like a tidal wave. I glanced at the bedside clock. Past nine. Damn it. I was supposed to wake up early, make him pancakes like I used to when he was little, sing to him first thing, make him feel special. That was the plan I'd made last night—another plan crushed by exhaustion. I swung my legs off the bed, wincing as my feet hit the cold floor. I rushed through a bath, barely feeling the warm water cascade down my skin. It was supposed to soothe me, but it only made me more anxious. My fingers trembled as I dressed in a simple blouse and jeans, not even bothering with makeup. Noah wouldn’

Giving up

Evangeline POV I didn’t know how I made it up the stairs. I barely felt my feet moving. Everything around me was just a blur of walls and furniture, my vision tunneled by the furious pounding of my heart. I shoved open our bedroom door and lunged for the closet. My hands were trembling so hard I could barely pull down the suitcase from the top shelf. It crashed onto the floor with a loud thud. I didn’t care. I dropped to my knees and yanked open drawers, grabbing whatever clothes I could, stuffing them into the suitcase without folding, without thinking. My fingers burned, my throat was raw from holding back the scream clawing its way up. How could he? How could he do this to me? The bedroom door slammed open behind me. "Evangeline!" Nathan's voice roared through the room. I didn’t turn. I didn’t stop packing. I heard him cross the room in two angry strides. I barely had time to react before he grabbed my wrist and yanked me back hard. "Where the hell do you

Picking up the pieces

Evangeline POV I barely remembered checking into the hotel last night. Everything after the meeting with the lawyer, the signing of those damned papers, felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. I sat on the edge of the stiff hotel bed, staring at the plain beige walls, feeling like a ghost in my own skin. I hadn’t even bothered to unpack. What was the point? The life I knew was already gone. I laid back slowly, staring up at the cracked ceiling. For the first time in years, I had no home to return to. No arms waiting to hold me. Just silence. Heavy, smothering silence. I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling tears well up—but I refused to let them fall. Not now. Not tonight. I was already drowning. If I started crying, I might never stop. Eventually, sheer exhaustion pulled me under. The blaring alarm yanked me awake at six the next morning. I rolled over and groaned, my body aching like I'd been in a war For a moment, I just laid there, staring at the gray light creeping th

Humiliated

Evangeline POV My hands trembled as I stood before him, the weight of his words pressing down on me. The boardroom's silence was deafening, each pair of eyes avoiding mine, their pity palpable. I clenched my fists, trying to steady myself, but the humiliation was overwhelming. He looked at me, his gaze cold and unyielding. "Lateness is not tolerated," he said. "It's an act that hinders the growth of this company. What made you late?" He asked, his voice devoid of inflection, devoid of humanity "Personal matters," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. He stared at me. Silent. Like he was waiting for me to realize how irrelevant that excuse was. I felt microscopic under that gaze and then he nodded once slow, detached. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in as I felt the weight of everyone's eyes. I had faced so much, my husband's betrayal, the pain of separation from my son, but this moment, this public shaming, cut deeper than I could have imagined. The new CEO

Attending Fierce

Evangeline’s POVI took the elevator ride to the top floor, it felt like a slow descent into hell, despite going upward. Each floor ticked by with agonizing lethargy, and with every passing second, my anxiety knotted tighter in my stomach. I’d never been to the executive level. None of us had. That space belonged to the powerful. The untouchable like Damien Hunter. And tonight, it belonged to me at least for one terrifying hour. The doors finally opened with a quiet ding, and I stepped into a room that looked nothing like the floors below. It was quiet. No ringing phones. No murmured gossip. Just silence and sleek obsidian decor. The walls were lined with steel panels and charcoal stone. A tall, breathtaking sculpture made of iron spiraled in the middle of the foyer like a frozen flame. A woman sat behind a black marble desk, her hair pulled into a severe bun and her expression carved from granite. “Miss Evangeline,” she said the moment I stepped forward, without even glancing

Unravel Me

Damien POV She left the room with her head held high, but I saw it, the war in her eyes. The defiance clashing with uncertainty. It was like watching a flame dare the wind to snuff it out. And gods, did I want to be the storm that tested her. The door slammed shut behind her, the sharp click echoing through the empty boardroom. I sat alone at the table, staring at the space she had just, vacated. The scent of her still lingered in the air, warm, maddeningly sweet, threaded with rage and something wild. My fingers curled against the glass table, and I exhaled slowly. What the hell was that? Evangeline Hart. The name tasted bitter on my tongue. She had stood up to me, challenged me with a fire most people wouldn’t even think to hide, let alone unleash. It was reckless. Insane. Unprofessional and yet.... My jaw ticked. I’d been CEO less than twenty-four hours, and she was already under my skin. She didn’t flinch. Not once. Not when I iced her in front of everyone. Not when

Faceslapping.

Evangeline – POVMy heels struck the floor like thunder as I stormed out of his office, each step fueled by the rage pulsing through my veins.Probation?Me?I clenched my fists so tight, my nails dug half-moons into my palms. How dare he?I was the Managing Director of this company. I had worked myself to the bone building divisions from scratch while men like him sat on seata handed to them by bloodlines, inheritance and bank accounts. I’d held this place together through acquisitions, through every chaos, and CEO tantrums.And now, he thought he could belittle me like I was some new clueless intern?My chest ached with fury. Cold, manipulative, arrogant, inhumane bastard.Damien Hunter was every bit the tyrant I feared he’d be, and worse. There was something about the way he looked at me earlier, like he wanted to devour me and destroy me at the same time. I hated that it didn't even move him when I snapped back. I hated that a small part of me respected that particular act.And I h

The Accident

Evangeline – POV The air in the restaurant turned suffocating for me. My breath stuttered in my chest, and I could feel every beat of my heart like a drum inside my ears. My fingers twitched on the table as my son’s innocent voice echoed so loud, so cruel without knowing. “…a little sister soon!” The words felt like acid in my veins. Lora’s face flushed red instantly. She fumbled with the napkin on her lap, not meeting my eyes. Nathan froze, his mouth parted like a man caught mid-lie. His eyes darted between his son, his Lora, and me. I could see the panic setting in behind them. A little sister. So, it was real after all. I stared at them, my ex-husband and the woman I had pulled off the streets like a dying bird. I couldn’t breathe. My lungs turned into cold steel. I stood up so suddenly my chair screeched back against the floor. Noah’s big eyes looked up at me with confusion, the remnants of his joy still on his face. It broke me more than anything else could have. “I’

Fluttered

Evangeline's POVThe world came back to me in fragments.A sharp, pulsing throb behind my eyes. The dry sting of air forced into my lungs. The faint beeping of machines—steady, cold. And the sterile smell. Hospitals had a scent that never changed, no matter where you were. Bleach, sickness, and something faintly metallic like blood masked under layers of antiseptic.I blinked against the too-bright light above me, and a pained groan escaped my throat. My head felt like it had been split down the middle, as if someone had taken a hammer to it. “Easy,” a voice said gently from beside me. Male. Calm and professional. I turned my head, slowly, and pain lanced through my skull like a blade. My hand instinctively rose to my temple, and I felt the thick gauze wrapped there. “You’ve had quite a fall,” the man said again. A doctor, maybe in his late thirties, with tired eyes and a clipboard in hand. “You’re lucky to be alive.” I squinted. My voice came out raspy. “Where… where am I?” “You
