All Chapters of You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Beverly heard the door being opened, but she didn't want to speak to Evan or even look at him. So, she shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep.She only had 28 days to go. This would soon be over!When she didn't respond, Evan realized she was asleep. He sat by her bed and held her cold hand, his eyes practically swimming with love and devotion.He thought about what Calvin had said—that Beverly would demand a divorce and leave him if she found out about his affair with Cindy.Yet now, she lay on the hospital bed obediently. She didn't look like she knew the truth at all. He was the one being paranoid because he cared about her too much."Honey, you can't ever leave me. I'll protect you and make sure nothing ever happens to you again." He placed his free hand on Beverly's abdomen and rubbed it gently.A lone tear rolled down the side of her face when she felt the warmth from his hand. She'd always had period cramps, and they'd only gotten worse after she'd had Harold.Whenever

Beverly was finally free! She'd escaped that suffocating whirlpool of despair!She was drowning in her joy over leaving when her abdomen suddenly clenched painfully, making her double over. Then, it hit her—she wasn't alone. She still had the baby… not that she wanted it.A hand suddenly reached over and rested on top of hers over her abdomen. She slapped it away in horror, thinking she'd run into a pervert. However, the only person she saw was Evan.What was he doing on the plane?Beverly was at a loss for what to do as she stared at him in shock. He could always find her, no matter where she went. The joy from her departure instantly disappeared, leaving behind nothing but resentment and fear.It was alright. She only had 28 days to go. James would come for her.Evan looked like he always did and pulled her into his arms. He buried his face in the curve of her neck and breathed in her unique scent, exhaling deeply before saying, "I've finally found you, honey."Something wet t

Heather had a maid get a cold compress to bring down the swelling on Evan's face, showing no sign of resenting Beverly for slapping him. "The more a man's wife hits him, the more obedient he becomes. The only problem is that he'll make a fool of himself before everyone in the company if he shows up with a handprint on his face."She couldn't help thinking that this was all Cindy's fault. If not for her, Evan wouldn't have gotten slapped in the first place. Fortunately, Cindy had already been sent abroad.Still, that didn't mean Heather would indulge her. She would freeze the cards Evan had given Cindy to teach her a lesson—the only way to make sure she stopped stirring up trouble was by making her suffer.Lance had a bit of food before excusing himself to accompany Harold and Theresa. Meanwhile, Christina remained at the dining table with everyone else.Heather said, "Christina and her family purposely made this trip home when they heard you guys were moving in with me. They'll b

As long as Christina was willing to get divorced, it would be easy for her to leave a broken marriage. Beverly didn't want to interfere in the matter anymore—it wasn't any of her business.Suddenly, she heard Heather say coldly, "I won't let you do that. You're supposed to be the Gray family's heiress. Think about how people will laugh when they hear that you can't even manage your own marriage."As the lady of the York household, what you need to control is the family's power, status, and wealth. You need to pave a smooth path for your children and uphold your honor. Getting upset and angry over a lowly mistress… You are truly a disappointment."Christina fell to her knees, unable to believe that her own mother had said such things to her. "Mom, Lance betrayed me. He was unfaithful to me! Do you expect me to swallow my grievances and put up with that?""All he did was make a mistake that every man in the world makes. As long as he treats you with the respect you deserve, you don't

"No way Evan would do anything to betray Beverly! I was thinking I'd just let this slide and end things on a good note because of our relationship and Theresa, but…" A hint of hatred glinted in Christina's eyes as she looked at Lance.She turned to Evan. "Evan, Lance cheated on me and kept a college student as his mistress. He took her to public events with him and indulged her as she claimed to be his second wife. He even knocked her up!"Everything he's done is unforgivable, and I want him to leave the marriage without a penny to his name. I never want to see him again for the rest of my life. I won't ever forgive him!"Beverly felt a deep resonance with Christina as she listened to the latter recount Lance's mistakes, sounding heartbroken. Her own heart ached with shared pain.She was in the same situation, and Christina's words were the same ones that she wanted to say. However, Evan merely stood there without even batting an eye. It was almost as if he weren't involved in this
