Adrian POVI sat at my desk, going through documents for our investment in Bangria. The numbers were impressive. The potential was huge. But everything depended on one thing—whether Gabriel Ross and I could come to an agreement.This morning, I received a call from Rowan, Gabriel's subordinate. He'd said they were willing to go through with the partnership. But Gabriel wanted to sit down with me one last time before making anything official.That meant I needed to have all my ducks in a row. I needed every document perfect, the numbers accurate, and every detail in place. I was so focused on the work in front of me that I didn't hear my secretary knock. I only looked up when Linda entered my office without waiting for permission.I sighed in frustration. "Linda, didn't I tell you that I'm not to be disturbed today? Of all days, I told you I was busy. Why are you here?""I apologize, sir," Linda said, sounding nervous. "But you have a visitor. She doesn't have an appointment, and she

Evelyn POVI slammed the office door harder than I meant to.The sound echoed through the hallway, and a few heads turned, but I didn’t care.I dropped my bag on the chair and sank into my seat, my chest rising and falling fast. My hands trembled as I placed them on the desk. I stared at the neat stack of documents in front of me, fighting the urge not to push them down from the table, yes, I was that angry.Gabriel Ross. That arrogant, insufferable man thought he could sexualize me and make jokes about my personal life like we were old friends. Like he had the right.I shouldn’t have gone.I should have just texted him the account number and been done with it. But no. I'd wanted to be polite. I'd tried to give him a chance.And this was what I got in return.I leaned back and closed my eyes, pressing my fingers against my temples. The café scene replayed in my head. His teasing tone, the careless joke, the way his smile faded when I stood up and the look in his eyes when I walked away

Evelyn POVI stared at the man in front of me for the longest time, gauging his expression.He looked hurt, and he clearly hasn’t been getting a lot of sleep from the way his eyes were sunken. Wasn’t it a lifetime agoI’d loved Adrian so much that the mere thought of doing life without him, even when he abused me endlessly, scared me, and it had to take me coming back from the land of the dead to discover my true potential, and here, I was still playing games with him.He still could access me. He could treat me the same way. Basically, the only thing that was different in this life was me renouncing our engagement in public; otherwise, we were like a couple madly in love who fought constantly and made up after each fight.No wonder Adrian was still giving me commands; he thinks this is all an act and that eventually I’ll come back to him.“Adrian,” I called out quietly, “This is inappropriate, you’re hemming me in. Move away.”He clutched my jaw, tilting my face towards him. His eyes

Evelyn POV“Don’t talk to me like that, Evelyn, you have no right…”“Oh, are you going to bully me into silence now? In front of the entire city? I am an adult, Adrian, and I have the right to express myself however I want. Why are you trying to drag our failed relationship into everything? This is a business conference, you should know better?”“Evelyn…” he growled.“The fact that you had to go and get someone who looks like me to gratify your self-interests makes me know I made the best decision by leaving you.”People around us had grown completely still, listening to every word."You want to know what I think?" I continued. "I think you should marry her. Emma, right or whatever the fuck her name is. I think she's exactly what you deserve. Someone who will let you control her. Someone who won't challenge you. Someone who won't have her own dreams and ambitions that might conflict with yours."I looked at Emma directly. "And Emma, I genuinely hope you get what you're looking for fr

Gabriel POVI leaned back in my chair and watched him with amusement. "Why are you taking alcohol before such an important meeting? Isn't that going to affect your reasoning?"Adrian grimaced and sighed deeply. "It’s been one of those days, and I needed it to calm my frazzled nerves. I have a lot on my mind."“Still, alcohol only dulls the problem; it doesn’t fix it.”He sighed, rubbing his temple. “Right now, I welcome anything that slows my thoughts.”I studied him for a moment. The tension in his shoulders, the tightness around his eyes. Last night at the restaurant, I overheard two restaurant staff whispering about an altercation at the government summit held last weekend. They’d mentioned that Adrian Whitmore had a public altercation with his ex.The petite woman giving the gist said, of course, it wasn’t publicised, but she’d heard from a catering staff member that it was pretty brutal.I wonder if that was what was making Adrian depressed."Women problem?" I asked casually, tho
