Semua Bab Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Evelyn POVBy the time I reached the office, my heart was already racing.I barely made it past the revolving doors before I saw Grace standing rigid at the reception desk, her tablet clutched to her chest like a shield. She looked like she was on the verge of a panic attack.Instantly, I knew something was wrong.“Grace,” I said, quickening my steps. “What’s going on?”"Thank God you're here," she said, grabbing my arm.That alone made my stomach sink.“What happened?” I asked.She leaned in, lowering her voice. "The board arrived almost an hour ago.” I blinked. “What?”“They came in without notice. There was no memo, or schedule update, nothing. I thought I’d missed an email, but no, they didn’t send anything. I don't know why they came early or why they didn't call to warn you. They went straight into the fifth-floor conference hall and locked it down. They haven't answered my greetings and rejected my offer of refreshment. Something is very wrong."I felt the blood drain from my

Isabella POVI sighed in relish as the masseuse found a stress point and slathered oil on it, then gently rubbed his hands.I could feel all my stress evaporating from his touch.“You’re so good, Dave!” I murmured, sinking further into the softness of the bed.After weeks of planning, I deserved this at least.I figured that I couldn’t stop the growing attraction between Adrian and Evelyn, especially from Adrian’s side. Although I already had Adrian’s mom slowly warming up to me, I still needed to make sure that Evelyn would never be able to return Adrian’s feelings.This time around, for every action I take, I must make sure there is a motive.For Evelyn, in the past few weeks, she has been working non-stop to ensure her father’s company doesn’t go under, and things were looking good now, which was a perfect opportunity for me to step in.First, I had to cripple Evelyn and to do that, what better candidate than her estranged fiancé?My phone suddenly rang, pulling me out of my though

Evelyn POVI walked into my office like a ghost, moving without purpose or direction. I didn’t really know how my feet were moving.The hallway felt longer than usual. It was quieter, every sound was muted, as if the building itself had decided to hold its breath.When I reached my office, I didn’t bother walking to my desk; I walked straight to the couch by the window and sat down, staring at nothing.My company, my father’s legacy, the thing I’d fought so hard to save was gone. It wasn’t lost, but taken away from me. Strategically, wholly and legally.I didn’t know how long I stayed there—minutes maybe or an hour. Time felt strange, like it had slowed just to mock me.I didn't know how to feel. Anger seemed too small. Despair seemed too dramatic. I was... numb. Floating in a space where emotions couldn't reach me.I couldn’t cry, laugh or scream. I just sat there, my hands resting limply on my lap, my mind refusing to form a single coherent thought. It felt like standing at the edge

Evelyn POVTwo weeks later.Two weeks of lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to convince myself that everything would somehow work out. Two weeks of ignoring Vincent's calls, his texts, his attempts to see me. Two weeks of pretending that the world hadn't shifted on its axis and left me stranded in an unfamiliar landscape.The doctor had finally given me clearance to return to work this morning. She'd examined me thoroughly, checked my vitals, reviewed my medication, and declared that I was well enough to resume my normal activities.Normal activities.As if anything about my life could ever be normal again.I'd gotten dressed mechanically, choosing a professional navy dress that highlighted the blue in my eyes. I'd carefully applied my makeup, covering the dark circles under my eyes that spoke to countless sleepless nights. I'd styled my hair into a sleek ponytail that made me look competent, in control.Even though I'd never felt less in control in my entire life.I was

Evelyn POVI stared at him, wondering if this conversation was happening. The sheer audacity of Adrian to call me a cheating partner when that was all he did in our three-year relationship.“And Isabella is your sister?” I fired back. “How dare you, Adrian? How dare you accuse me of cheating when that was what you did the entire time we were together?”“I was never intimate with, Isabella and…”“Fucking other people isn’t only the way to cheat on your partner,” I yelled, hating myself for allowing myself to get worked up. Taking in a deep breath, I shook my head and turned to him again. “Let’s just stop, please. I don’t want to keep going back and forth with you.”Adrian sighed heavily. "I thought by now you would no longer be angry with me. I'm sorry for everything, Evelyn. Can't you see that under my management, the company has been doing better?"My jaw clenched. "Adrian—""We've sold out every land in Phases one and two of the Green Valley Project," he continued, his voice becomin
