The Escort is poor

Alex’s POVI sat beside Evelyn as the driver drove us to the meeting. For the first few minutes in the backseat of the black sedan, everything was quiet. Evelyn hadn’t spoken a word since we left the apartment.She was currently scrolling the company’s portfolio, her gaze concentrating on her phone’s screen. I turned my attention to my own phone, to schedule other meetings and engagements. “Alex,” she said suddenly, breaking the silence. “How’s the investigation going?”I’d been expecting the question. I had prepared for it. Wordlessly, I reached into my leather folder and pulled out the documents I’d assembled — printouts, financial summaries, property records, and several photographs.“They’re all here,” I said, handing them to her.Evelyn shifted in her seat, crossing one long leg over the other as she flipped through the files. I watched her eyes dart across each page — sharp and focused. She didn’t skim; Evelyn never skimmed. She devoured every detail, line by line..I cleared m

Come back to me

Evelyn’s POVBy the time I reached the top level of the private hospital, I was breathless, my heels clattering against the polished floor as I fast-walked past the white-coated nurses and down the familiar corridor.The door to Grandma’s room was slightly ajar. I pushed it open without knocking.“Grandma,” I breathed, rushing to her side.Her silver hair was spread across the pillow, but her eyes — those same wise, warm eyes that had always looked at me with affection — widened in surprise.“Evelyn?” she exclaimed, reaching out a frail hand. And then she got right to it.“Why is everyone saying you and Wyatt aren’t living together anymore? And why on earth did he bring another woman to the banquet? Did something happen between you two?”I froze. The question wasn’t something I had planned on answering. Most of all, I didn’t expect that she’d know about the banquet.My lips parted, but no words came. What could I say? That our marriage had crumbled long before that night? That Wyatt ha

A result of betrayal

Ben’s POVThe door to the hallway slammed open before I even had time to reach for the handle. Evelyn burst through it unexpectedly. I didn’t even know why she was here in the first place.I’d been standing on the porch outside, on a call with one of my company executives, when her body collided hard against mine. The impact jolted us both backward a step.“Sorry,” she breathed, barely looking up — but when she did, my world seemed to pause.Her gaze dropped instinctively to my wrist, to the pair of diamond cufflinks that I wore. Her eyes lingered there for a second too long. Her lips parted, a breath catching somewhere in her throat, but she said nothing.Then, just as quickly, she tore her eyes away and brushed past me.I turned, watching her retreating figure disappear into the parking lot. My chest ached with the weight of words I’d never said, with the pull of an impulse I couldn’t give in to.How easy it would’ve been to reach out — to catch her wrist, pull her back, make her sta

No need to put on appearance

Evelyn’s POVI stared at the surveillance feed, my palms damp, and my breath uneven.There he was — my brother. Venice.Once, he had been the strongest wolf of our lineage — a natural alpha with unmatched strength, the kind of power that could silence other wolves with a single growl. Now, on the surveillance feed before me, all that remained was a crazed shadow of that pride.The Mad Wolf Disease had twisted him into something unrecognizable. His fur, once a lustrous steel-gray, was now patchy and coarse. His golden eyes, once intense and confident, flickered wildly — chaotic, feral, and devoid of life.He slammed himself against the reinforced walls of the pack house, his claws raking bloody trails into the steel. His bones jerked and twisted with every convulsion, as though his body were fighting itself from the inside out.“His condition has worsened,” the doctor’s voice crackled through the intercom. “He’s lost more of his higher cognitive function. If we don’t locate that mineral

The surprise neighbor

Evelyn’s POVI got up early the next morning when sunlight streamed down into my bedroom. The escort had already left, as usual. I prepared myself to run multiple errands for the day, and as I did, memories easily rushed back.I had barely slept last night, his scent, his touch, the way he’d whispered against my ear. Every detail burned into my memory, refusing to fade.I needed distance from my bed. Distract myself with work. That was the first thought that struck me when I stepped outside, clutching my phone like it was some kind of lifeline. But fate, it seemed, wasn’t on my side.Because right across from my villa, movers were unloading boxes. And there, the man I didn’t expect to see — Ben.He stood by the gate of the neighboring house, giving instructions to the men in a calm, commanding tone. His presence filled the air without effort, cold and untouchable as always.I froze mid-step.Ben had moved in. Next door.A bitter laugh tried to escape me, but it came out more like a st

The car ride

Evelyn’s POVI walked back to my house after the encounter with Ben. I picked my bag from my doorway and walked towards the communal gate. I had a full day planned ahead, one that was supposed to be crucial for the future of my pack.By noon, I was scheduled to fly out to the northern province, where several regional Alphas were gathering for a closed-door negotiation about the mineral vein. That vein wasn’t just a mere resource—it was our last hope.With my brother’s worsening condition, the fate of our bloodline, everything revolved on acquiring it.But fate, apparently, had other plans.I was adjusting my dress, when my phone buzzed.“Miss Evelyn,” Alex’s voice came through, unusually strained. “I—I’m afraid there’s a problem.”My grip tightened. “What problem?”“The car,” he said, hesitating. “The engine gave out on the highway. We called for help, but the earliest tow truck will take at least forty minutes. You… you won’t make it to the airport in time.”For a second, I just stood

She didn’t believe it

Alex’s POVI slid into the passenger seat of Ben’s car the moment he pulled up to pick me, adjusting the strap of my leather briefcase on my lap.I caught the faint scent of Evelyn’s perfume in the car.“She made it just in time,” I said, fastening my seatbelt and glancing at him.Ben’s hands rested calmly on the steering wheel, his expression as composed as ever. But I’d worked for him long enough to notice the smallest details—the way he clenched his jaws, and the way his gaze rested. “Good,” he murmured. “You told her about the car?”“Yes, sir.” I nodded. “Exactly as you instructed. She believed every word.”For a second, silence lingered. Then, to my utter shock, Ben’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “I’ll give you a raise.”I blinked. “A raise?”“You’ve earned it,” he said simply.I tried—and failed—to keep the grin off my face. Praise from Ben was rare. A raise? That was practically a once-in-a-lifetime event. My chest swelled with a ridiculous sense of pride, though I schoole

The drama

Judy’s POVThe city’s air was warmer than I expected when I stepped out of the terminal. It was supposed to be just another work trip — a quick shoot for a new campaign — but this time, everything felt different.Because he was here.Wyatt.Even if he hadn’t invited me, even if I was technically sent here by the company’s PR department, I knew our paths would cross. They always did. And every time they did, I felt like I’d stepped a little closer to the life I’d always wanted.No, I hadn’t won his heart yet. I wasn’t naive enough to believe that. Wyatt was still distant, cold sometimes, distracted most of the time. He didn’t look at me the way he looked at her.But he hadn’t fired me either. He hadn’t thrown me away. And as long as I still had a place in his company — and in his orbit — there was a chance.I smiled to myself, adjusting my sunglasses as I walked through the arrival hall with my head held high. A few people recognized me from my highly publicized photos, and they smiled

The illicit affair

Evelyn’s POVThe murmurs of the crowd pressed against me like a physical weight, each whisper was like a judge’s verdict.“She pushed her…”“Of course she did…”“Jealous, obviously…”My breath caught in my chest as I stared down at Judy, still sprawled on the marble floor like a wounded bird. Her eyes shone with fake tears, her lips trembling just enough to seem believable — but beneath the performance, I caught a faint ghost of a smile.This was it. This was how it would end. Not with dignity or strategy, but with a lie — a staged collapse in a crowded terminal, a single accusation that would stain me forever.This is how it usually goes, I thought bitterly. In dramas and in novels… women like me don’t get a chance to explain. We’re the villains before we can speak. And our reputation would be ruined in an instant.“Evelyn!”The sound of my name snapped me out of my spiraling thoughts. My body stiffened instinctively — that voice, I’d know it anywhere.I turned, heart thudding.And th

He was just being a gentleman

Wyatt’s POVBen’s words landed with intensity, bringing up very dark thoughts and emotions. How would he know what business brought Evelyn to the city?“She came here for the ore vein,” he added plainly, his tone as calm as though it was public information. “She dropped the invitation during her rush to catch her flight this morning.”I blinked, looking from him to Evelyn. The folded invitation in her hand suddenly made sense. So that was why she was here — not because of me, not because she missed me, not because of some secret, lingering feeling she hadn’t confessed.It was business. Pack business. And Ben… Ben had just been helping her.For a brief second, something inside me loosened. I had been paranoid — imagining scenarios where there were none, building something which wasn’t there.Ben wasn’t trying to take her from me, or hitting on her behind my back. He was just being the perfect gentleman he’d always been. “Thank you,” Evelyn said softly, her tone polite. The same way one
