All Chapters of Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Evelyn POV“You want to know if I’m here to claim my prize?” I asked with a false sweetness in my voice. “There’s my reply.”The engagement rings hit Adrian’s chest with satisfying force before clattering to the marble floor, the sound echoing through the suddenly silent ballroom like gunshots.Every conversation stopped. Every champagne glass paused halfway to painted lips. The only sound was my steady breathing and the soft drip of pool water from my ruined dress.“Yes, I’m here to claim my prize,” I said with a calm smile. “You see, I not only retrieved your ring, but also returned mine along with it.”He slowly raised his eyes, looking up and down at me with contempt that he didn’t bother to hide.“Evelyn,” he said icily, his voice cutting through the hushed atmosphere, “if you’re going to lose your mind, can you first read the room?. Today is the engagement party you desperately begged for.”Desperately begged for.The words were explicitly chosen to remind everyone present that

Evelyn POVI looked at Adrian, drinking in every detail of his perfectly sculpted face—the sharp jawline, the aristocratic nose, the steel-grey eyes that had once made my heart race. Now, all I could see was the disgust that filled those beautiful features whenever he looked at me.In my previous life, I had worked so hard to earn even a fraction of his warmth. I’d learned company management from scratch, studying late into the night until my eyes burned, all so I could be helpful in his business empire.I’d taught myself to cook his favourite dishes, spending hours in the kitchen perfecting recipes that would make him smile. To please Adrian, I’d even taken care of his mother, Margaret. I was available at her beck and call twenty-four hours a day, hoping that maternal approval would somehow translate into his affection.I thought I could warm Adrian’s heart by being devoted. I’d believed that if I just tried hard enough, sacrificed deeply enough, loved thoroughly enough, he would eve

Evelyn POVAs soon as I pulled into the driveway of the Bennett family mansion – our house - I could hear Victoria's car screeching to a stop behind me. She slammed her door so hard I was surprised the windows didn't shatter, and before I'd even stepped out of my own car, she was already screaming."Have you lost your mind?" Do you even realise what you’ve done? "What was that display back there? Calling off the engagement in front of everyone? Are you crazy?"I didn’t answer her. I didn’t even look at her. Instead, I walked straight toward the front door, already tugging at the diamond earrings on my ears. One by one, I stripped the jewellery off my body, the gifts carefully chosen to mimic Isabella’s style.They suddenly felt heavy like tiny anchors trying to drag me back to a life I never wanted."Don't you dare walk away from me!" Victoria shrieked, her heels clicking loudly on the stone pathway as she tried to catch up. "Do you have any idea what you've done? The Whitmore family

Evelyn POVThe music at Eclipse Club was loud. The bass thumped in my chest as the disco lights flashed overhead matching the fast beats of the music. Belle laughed and pulled me onto the dance floor, her face flushed with excitement and probably too much champagne."Come on, Evelyn!" she shouted over the music, spinning around with her arms raised. "We should celebrate your return to single status! You're free!"I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm, even though my mind was elsewhere. I let her spin me once more, loving the way my dress swirled around my legs as the music shook the room. People shouted and cheered and for a moment, I let my body move with the beat.After a while, I stepped back, smiling as I watched Belle dance. My phone buzzed in my purse and I looked at the screen. Of course, it was the engagement cancellation story. The news was trending everywhere on the internet just like Belle had promised.Clips from the banquet, of me boldly telling Adrian I wasn’t inte
