Semua Bab Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Evelyn POVThe VIP ward room was more comfortable than the ICU had been. I could see the city skyline through the large windows. The room was private, decorated in soft blues and greens. There was a comfortable-looking armchair in the corner, a proper bathroom, and the room was well furnished.I got moved from the ICU yesterday evening after the doctor had confirmed I was healing properly and was out of danger.The doctor had come in this morning with good news."You're making excellent progress, Miss Bennett," he'd said, reviewing my chart. "Your vitals are stable. The internal injuries are healing well. We've run all the necessary tests, and everything is looking positive. No internal bleeding or neurological damage. That alone is remarkable, considering the nature of the accident. The burns you sustained are mild and would disappear in no time, plus they’re in hidden parts of your body so that they won’t affect your self-confidence in the meantime.”I’d sustained burns mostly on my

Gabriel POVGut feeling. Instinct.Those were the two traits that separated the mafia bosses who lived long from the ones who died young.The strongest ones—the ones with the biggest empires, the most connections, the territories spanning continents—they all eventually died. Either by assassination, betrayal, or sheer bad luck. But the ones who survived? The ones who lived into old age and died in their beds?They were the cowards. The ones who grovelled to the government. The ones who made deals and compromises. And most importantly, the ones who trusted their gut feelings above everything else.I'd survived this long because I listened to my instincts.And right now, my instincts were screaming at me that something was wrong.For two days, I'd been replaying my conversation with Evelyn over and over in my mind. She'd described the man she'd seen—the one with the tattoos on both arms, the one with the pungent, offensive odour. The way he'd passed her as she was entering the cafe. The

Evelyn POVAfter he left, Belle grabbed my arm and practically screamed."Oh my God, Evelyn!" she squealed, bouncing slightly. "I wouldn't blame you one bit for having that reaction. Vincent looked absolutely dashing. The man could make a potato sack look good."I laughed despite myself, shaking my head at Belle's enthusiasm.We were finishing up the last of the packing when there was another knock on the door.When it opened, Gabriel stepped inside, carrying a beautiful bunch of white and yellow daisies.He looked calm, as always, dressed in dark clothes that made him seem both approachable and dangerous at the same time."I apologise for not visiting since the last time," Gabriel said, coming over to me. "How are you feeling? Are you recovering well?""I'm much better," I said, noticing the concern in his expression. "The doctors say I'm healing faster than expected. What about you? How have you been?""Busy," Gabriel said, a slight smile playing at his lips. "But good. More importa

Evelyn POV“Yes. Stand beside a man. Adrian is still pursuing you. That alone should tell you something.”"A friend of mine casually mentioned that you've been offending a lot of key players in the business space in Crescent Harbour," she continued, moving closer to my bed. "She thinks it might have been a business rival who did this to you. You know how dangerous it is for a woman to be running a company alone.""I'm not alone," I said quietly."But you could have support," Victoria said, her voice taking on that cajoling tone that made me want to scream. "Adrian is still pursuing you, you know. Despite everything, he still wants you back. That shows true love, Evelyn. A man willing to forgive and move forward. His heart still belongs to you."I felt my face flush with anger at the mention of Adrian’s name."I thought you'd found a perfect replacement for me," I said coldly, interrupting her. "Emma or whatever her name is."Victoria's face colored with embarrassment. "That's not the

Evelyn POVI followed Gabriel to the private room like a sheep to a slaughterhouse.At this point, my brain was jumping with anticipation at the promise of whatever Gabriel had mentioned, and I could barely function. There was no part of me telling me to turn back, too. I wanted to experience it all.When we got to the private room, my heart raced with anticipation as we stepped inside and he closed the door behind us. I heard the soft click of the lock, and my anticipation grew.The room was dimly lit, and I could barely make out the shape of the furniture. Gabriel flicked on a small lamp on a nightstand, illuminating the space enough for me to see. It was cosy, with a large bed that took up most of the floor space. I watched as Gabriel leaned against the wall, his gaze fixed on me.For a moment, we stared at each other, the tension between us palpable. Then, he stepped forward and began to undo the buttons on my blouse. My breath hitched as he exposed more of my skin to the cool air
