Chapter 11: Cutting ties.

Adrian POVI came downstairs earlier than usual the next morning as I walked down the staircase, I stopped. Two servants were kneeling at the base of the stairs zipping suitcases. Three large ones were open with clothes neatly folded inside. Shoe boxes were stacked by the door. A tray of perfumes and skincare products sat on a side table, waiting to be wrapped.I frowned. “What are you doing?One of the servants stood at once, glancing at me nervously. “Good morning, Mr Whitmore. These are all Miss Bennett’s things sir. She called yesterday evening and said she wouldn’t disturb us anymore. She asked us to pack everything of hers and have it sent to her family’s house.”I stared at the row of expensive luggage lined up near the door. Designer clothes, jewelry, books - all the things Evelyn had bought here over the past few months as we prepared for the wedding. Things that had slowly taken over corners of my house until I'd gotten used to seeing them there.My gaze fell on a silk sca

Chapter 12: Empty spaces

Evelyn POVI was lying in bed, finally enjoying a peaceful morning without having to wake up at four to make breakfast for someone who didn't appreciate it, when my bedroom door suddenly burst open.Before I could understand what was going on, Damien stormed in like he owned the place, his face red with anger. Before I could even sit up properly, he grabbed my blanket and yanked it off me, then grabbed my wrist hard enough to leave bruises."Are you crazy? Have you gone nuts?" he shouted, his grip tightening painfully. "Breaking off your engagement with Adrian? Do you have any idea what you've done to this family?"I stared at him in shock for a moment. Although Damien was technically my younger brother, he wasn't my father's biological son. When Victoria remarried my father, Damien was already five years old and had been spoiled rotten from birth. He was eighteen now, but still acted like a child who'd never been told no.In my previous life, Victoria had convinced my father to hand

Chapter 13: Broken bonds.

Evelyn POVWhen Victoria saw the transfer document in my hand, her expression changed as if a switch had been flipped. The angry, demanding woman from moments before was suddenly gone, replaced by an angel."Evelyn, darling," she said in a sweet tone, "why are you being so tense? Damien is your younger brother after all. Letting him take over the company in the future would be in the Bennett family's best interests. Then you could marry Adrian with complete peace of mind, knowing the business is in good hands. It would be killing two birds with one stone."I watched her performance with amusement. The speed with which she could change was almost impressive.Victoria quickly grabbed Damien by the arm and pulled him forward. "Damien, apologise to your sister right now," she said, even pretending to scold him. "You were completely out of line barging into her room like that. Haven’t I warned you about this impulsive behaviour?"But Damien wasn't playing along with his mother's new act. H

Chapter 14: Dangerous territory.

Evelyn POVI looked up, startled to see Adrian at my bedroom door.When did he arrive? How had he come up here? I’d been so immersed with Victoria and Damien that I didn’t even see him come up.He was leaning against the doorframe and had clearly been there long enough to hear and see everything that had just happened- the torn documents, Victoria's desperation, Damien's tantrum.His presence felt like a violation of my privacy, even though technically he hadn't done anything wrong.Adrian gave a cold laugh that sent chills down my spine. "This is the first time I've seen you displaying such aggression, Evelyn," he said, his voice dripping with mock admiration. "You really aren't pretending anymore, are you?"Before I could respond, Victoria's entire demeanour changed again. She put on that sickeningly sweet smile she saved for important people and practically bounced toward Adrian, plastering on a smile."Oh, Adrian dear!" she gushed. "Why didn’t you tell us you were coming? . We wou

Chapter 15: A familiar scene.

Evelyn POVI inhaled deeply as I alighted from my car, tossing the keys to the Butler at the Whitmores.For a minute, nostalgia hit me as I stared at the familiar surroundings of Adrian’s house. To think I’d spent the best part of my young adulthood confined within this space, to please Adrian and his mom.Drawing in another deep breath, I started towards the house.Margaret, Adrian’s mother, had called earlier on.In the afternoon, my phone rang with Margaret Whitmore's name on the screen. I almost didn't answer, but curiosity got the better of me."Evelyn, dear," Margaret's voice was warm when I answered the call. "Please come to the house this afternoon. There's something we need to discuss."I agreed, though every instinct told me this was going to be unpleasant.“Welcome, Miss Bennett,” one of the maids greeted me when I walked into the living room. “Mrs Whitmore is waiting for you. Please come with me.”The maid led me to Margaret’s private sitting room, where she used to sit wh

Chapter 16: A lesson in pain.

Evelyn POVI sat there in the sudden silence, watching them go. Margaret slowly sank back into her chair, looking older and more tired than I'd ever seen her."I'm sorry you had to witness that," she said quietly. "My son is a fool."She reached across the coffee table and took my hand in hers. “Don’t let this upset you, dear,” she said firmly. “That girl has completely bewitched Adrian. Don’t you worry, dear. I’ll make him apologise to you properly. You’re the daughter-in-law I chose, and no one, especially that scheming Isabella, can replace you.”I looked at her kind face and felt genuinely sorry for her. She had no idea that her son was beyond saving when it came to Isabella."He's in love," I said. "It makes people do foolish things."Margaret looked at me with something like respect in her eyes. "Most women would be crying right now. Or angry. Or both."I smiled slightly. "I told you, Mrs Whitmore. I think it's better if Adrian and I end our engagement. He'll never be happy with

Chapter 17: My mother's fury.

Adrian POVI walked into my mother's office the next morning expecting another lecture about the engagement. What I got was worse."Sit down," she said coldly, not even looking up from the newspaper spread across her desk.I sat, already feeling irritated. I'd barely slept after last night's encounter with Evelyn, and my patience level was running low."Adrian Whitmore, what were you thinking?”I rubbed my temple, stifling a yawn. “I’m not in the mood for another lecture, Mom.”“You should be,” she snapped, slamming a newspaper onto the table. Evelyn’s pictures were splashed on the front page. She looked soaked and pale, leaving the hotel I had dragged her to last night. “Would you like to explain," she said, finally looking at me and not bothering to hide her disappointment, "why there are pictures all over the internet of you taking your ex-fiancée to a hotel room?"I'd known the photos would surface eventually. My security team had warned me that someone had taken pictures, but I'd

Chapter 18: My mother's fury II

Adrian POVMy mom sighed, shaking her head. “You’re blind, Adrian. You think being cold and cruel makes you strong, but it just makes you foolish. Evelyn has class, manners, and loyalty, qualities Isabella will never have. That girl is a scandal waiting to happen.”I smirked bitterly. “At least Isabella doesn’t pretend to be something she’s not.”“Oh, she doesn’t pretend?” my mom shot back. “Then what do you call fainting at every argument and crying her way into your arms? That’s not love, Adrian. That’s manipulation.”“Don’t insult her.”My mom crossed her arms. “And don’t ruin yourself for her.”For a long moment, we just stared at each other.When she spoke again, her voice was filled with disappointment. “Your father trusted me to guide you. He wanted you to marry someone capable, someone who would strengthen the Whitmore name, not drag it through the mud. Evelyn Bennett is that woman. You don’t have to love her, but you should at least respect her. She’s stood by you for years,

Chapter 19: Breaking ties

Evelyn POVI’d just come back from my morning jog, showered and had breakfast when I decided to go through a few company documents.So, I was at my father’s old study, going through the files, when Victoria barged into the study without knocking. She was holding her phone tightly; her face was pale with panic.“Evelyn! Look at this!” she shouted, waving the phone in front of me. “Look at what you’ve done!”I put down the document I was reviewing and took her phone. On the screen was the latest business headline:“Whitmore Group Officially Terminates Contract with Bennett Corporation – Full Investment Withdrawn from Joint Project.”My heart sank as I read the details, smiling slightly. Adrian had finally made his move to try to intimidate me.The project mentioned was the one that my family’s company had been developing for months. It was called the Green Valley development project. It was one of the biggest businesses venture my father’s company had undertaken in the past five years.

Chapter 20: Isabella's performance.

Evelyn POVThis was unexpected.In all the years I've known her, Isabella has never sought me out directly. She'd always worked through Adrian, using him as her shield and weapon.What could she possibly want now?I walked downstairs and found our maid standing by the front door. "Miss Evelyn, there's a young lady here to see you. She says her name is Isabella Clarke.""Let her in," I said. I was burning with curiosity already.A moment later, Isabella walked into the house."Evelyn," she said, giving me a small smile. "Thank you for seeing me. I know this must be a surprise.""That's an understatement," I said coolly. “Shouldn’t you be resting in the hospital? What do you want, Isabella?"She laughed lightly. “I wasn’t seriously ill. I was just a little faint from the stress, but I’m much better now. But I thought it better to clear things up between us.”“Clear things up?” I repeated calmly, though I didn’t let my guard down.“Yes,” she took a step toward me, “I came to talk about A
