Semua Bab Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Evelyn POVIt covered my arms and legs, leaving my voluptuous breasts and most of my thighs and stomach completely exposed. It felt risky even for me, and I couldn’t help but blush as I looked at myself in the mirror.My nipples were clearly visible through the sheer material, and my crotch area was barely concealed. I looked down, biting my lips nervously. Just as I was about to step out of the bathroom, Gabriel called out to me, his voice deep and husky.“Don’t you dare look,” he warned, his tone teasing.I obeyed; my curiosity piqued. When I came from the bathroom, he was standing there, his eyes fixed on me. I felt his gaze rake over my body, taking in every inch of my skin on display.My heart raced as I stood before him, unsure of what he would do next.I wanted to refuse and tell him that this was too much. But something in me wanted to see where this was going.Something shifted in his expression. His eyes darkened with desire, but there was also something tender in the way he

Adrian POV“But you ignored her consistently,” Joshua cut in. “I remember days she would call me to ask if you were with me or if I had any idea when you’d be at home because you wouldn’t take her calls. You let everyone belittle her, Adrian, so she’s right in being careful before saying yes to you again.”The memories hit me like a punch to the gut. He was right. I had done those things. I'd been so caught up in the thrill of Isabella's attention that I'd neglected the woman who actually cared about me."I know," I said quietly. "I know I wasn't good to her. But I'm ready to change. I'm ready to be the man she deserves. I need her to give me a chance."Joshua sighed and leaned forward. "Adrian, you need to give her space. Real space, not this obsessive hovering you're doing. She needs time to heal from everything you put her through.""I'm trying," I said, frustration creeping into my voice. "But she won't even talk to me. She barely acknowledges my existence at work.""Good," Joshua

Vincent POVLong after I left Gabriel, I stayed in my car.I sat in my car, my phone in my hand, Evelyn's number displayed on the screen.This had become a routine. Every evening, I would sit with my phone in my hand, staring at her contact information, my thumb hovering over the call button. Sometimes I'd stare for close to an hour, wrestling with myself over whether I should reach out.I would imagine what I’d say if she picked up. I would imagine what I’d say if she didn’t. I would imagine her voice—calm, guarded, tired of explaining herself to the world.At the end of it all, I usually didn't call. And that made me more miserable than if I'd just accepted her rejection and moved on.But I couldn't move on. Loving Evelyn Bennett had turned out to be the most difficult and the most rewarding decision of my life.I knew her fear was understandable. Her relationship with Adrian had left deep scars. I could understand why she didn't trust easily, why she pushed people away, and why she

Adrian POVI turned to the manager, who was eyeing us warily. “You see, turns out I wasn’t the only one who got the call. He did, too, and I’m sensing the last person coming towards us also received the call. Evelyn is in the VIP room. Take us there, or else…”The words were barely out of my mouth when Gabriel brushed past me, walking towards the elevator that led to the VIP rooms. The manager immediately followed him.“Excuse me, sir, you can’t just…”“Listen to me, good man,” Gabriel stopped just enough to give him a pat on the head. “I am no citizen of this shithole city, but if I ever come to your establishment, politely requesting access and you delay me, I promise you won’t go home with all your body parts. Now, would you move, or do you want me to make true your wishes?”The manager stuttered; his face had gone white with fear. Vincent broke into a sprint, catching up with Gabriel while I followed suit. Soon, we were stuck in an elevator, heading to whatever floor Gabriel was g

Gabriel POVI took a deep breath and dialled another number after finishing my conversation with Evelyn. The question I was about to ask had been burning in my mind for weeks, but I'd been hesitant to voice it. Now, however, hesitation was a luxury I could no longer afford.Dax answered on the first ring. "Boss.""Where was Rowan on the day of Evelyn's car explosion?" I asked without preamble.There was a pause on the other end. A long one. Long enough that I knew Dax understood the weight of the question."I... I remember he wasn't around," Dax said slowly. "When he came back, he had this wild look in his eyes. Like he'd been running or something. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that you're asking...""Now you think it means something," I finished for him."Boss, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Dax asked, his voice dropping.I didn't respond to that. Instead, I asked, "Where is Rowan now?"So, a few days ago, Dax had called to inform me that Rowan was makin
