Chapter 71 — Past Regrets

Evelyn's POVI stood at the edge of Zane's driveway for what seemed like forever. How was it that no taxi services or even Uber drivers came out this way? At this point, I may as well have begun the journey to the outskirts of whatever neighborhood I was at just so I could catch a ride!This was so embarrassing… Why couldn't I catch a break for once?Just as I was about to make the trip down the sidewalk, a luxury car was backing out recklessly from Zane's driveway. As it whizzed past me, I stumbled backwards and was expecting to hit hard concrete.Instead, a pair of strong hands caught me."Are you okay?" Zane asked."Y-yeah… Thank you." I straightened my footing and stepped out of Zane's grip. "What are you doing out here? I thought you were still talking to Bianca?""She had nothing of importance to say to me. So, I dismissed her.""It seems like she didn't take it well…" I scoffed, hinting at her erratic driving."Rejection was never her strong suit." Then he motioned for me to fol

Chapter 72 — The Exhausting Brothers

Evelyn's POVZane's words took the literal breath from my lungs as I sat in stunned silence. What was he implying…? A part of me felt like I already knew what the answer was, but my subconscious was trying to suppress it.So, I simply remained silent. I didn't want to delve deeper into what Zane's words could've possibly meant. I don't think my psyche could handle it right now.Zane also remained quiet. I dared not to peak in his direction in fear of him possibly stealing a few glances back at me. My stillness should've been more than enough of a telling sign that I didn't even want to talk about it anymore.The rest of the ride was spent in mutual silence. After some time, we pulled up to the St. Regis hotel. The tall, symmetrical stone structure shone brilliantly underneath the now setting sun, with the white reflecting off its golden rays."Your next few nights are paid in full, by the way." Zane was the first to break the silence. "If you need any more nights, let me know.""You di

Chapter 73 — The Danger That Lurks

Adrian's POVI don't allow Evelyn's dismissal to get to me. I *can't* let it get to me. This divorce proceeding wasn't going to happen, no matter how much she—or Zane—spoke it into existence.Evelyn was always going to be my wife. Giving up wasn't a choice. If only she would give me a chance to come clean… To right the wrongs I've done… I would spend the rest of my days making it up to her.Without any consideration for her words, I followed her into the hotel anyway. It earned me a few wary glances from the guests, but I didn't care. Close behind me was my brother, who I very much wanted to knock the fuck out.Whatever this budding relationship between them was, I needed to stop it immediately. Something about it made my stomach twist and my skin crawl. Seeing Zane stand up for her… I shook my head from the thought. I couldn't lose control again. Not with all these people watching.As we got to Eve's room, she bolted through the door and slammed it in both of our faces. "LEAVE ME ALO

Chapter 74 — Inner Struggles

Evelyn's POVI played around with my food, unsure of what to make out of Nathan's words. On one hand, I thought that maybe he was overexaggerating everything. After all, a lot of what he said was vague. Unless he provided any clarity, then technically, they should've meant nothing.But on the other hand…I couldn't ignore the chill that crawled up my spine, or the sudden shift in the atmosphere. Maybe my subconscious knew a part of it had to be true? Were my instincts telling me to heed his warning?I shooed away the thoughts. The last thing I needed was for me to be stressed about something that hadn't even been confirmed. Zane had shown me nothing but kindness and genuine concern without asking for anything in return.Just because Adrian betrayed my heart, it shouldn't have meant that other people were looking to take advantage of me. Especially Zane. He, at least of all people, knew what I was going through.If anything, our situations were almost parallel. Except, he seemed to be t

Chapter 75 — Catching A Break

Evelyn's POVThe next few days after that encounter with both Adrian and Zane went by without another hiccup. To my surprise, they'd both left me alone. For once, I felt like I was able to breathe and have some sense of freedom and agency.The only thing that caused a mild interruption was a text from Zane.[ZANE: Just wanted to let you know that the new place is ready for you. My men just go through with the finishing touches.][ME: Thank you. I really appreciate that.][ZANE: Like I said, anything for you. Will you need anyone to come help you move in?][ME: No, one of my friends is off from work today, so I was planning to text her to hang out anyway.][ZANE: Sounds good. I'll text you the address then. Just let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.]I smiled at the last sentence. Zane had truly been going out of his way to get me some place to stay, on top of keeping a respectable distance like I'd asked.I shook my head at Nathan's words as they echoed in my mind. How

Chapter 76 — Hesitation

"I hope you don't mind that I dropped by to check in on you." Zane smiled after I'd let him inside. "What do you think of this place?""It's very beautiful," I answered truthfully. "But I think you went a little overboard…""Nonsense." He chuckled. "It has a beautiful, tranquil view of the park after all. And you said you needed to relax and catch a breather, so…""A six-story townhome for just one person is excessive is what I'm trying to say… And you FURNISHED the whole place!""Well, I wasn't sure if you were entirely cut off from Adrian's funding, and I said that I was going to help you in any way I could. It's not like I'm scarce for money.""The perks of having endless wealth, I suppose." I rolled my eyes. Then, my expression softened. "Truly, though… I can't thank you enough for this, despite how I would've been fine with having a small apartment. You've gone above and beyond. I don't know how to repay you.""For starters, don't think about ever needing to repay me." Zane smile

Chapter 77 — Fighting For You

Bianca's POVOver the course of the last few days, I watched the way Adrian moved, the way he spoke, the way he acted, and everything in between. Something about him seemed… off. It wasn't until I came home one afternoon with the intent of surprising him with some takeout that I found out why.I climbed the steps on the way to his study when his low voice cut through the hardwood door."He's targeting HER, Luke!" Adrian's voice was low and dripping with malice. "He's planning something involving Evelyn, and I can't let him get any closer than he already is! My god, if anything happens to her, I swear to god—""Nothing's going to happen to her," Luke spoke reassuringly. "We're still combing for any information that we can, and I'll update you once we find something. We'll keep her safe.""Alright, alright… Thank you. Just keep me posted.""Yes, sir."My hand wrapped around the study door so tight my knuckles turned white. When I told Adrian the other day about Evelyn and Zane having din

Chapter 78 — I'm Telling The Truth

Adrian's POVI tossed and turned all night, not getting an ounce of restful sleep. So, when it came time for me to actually get up, it felt like I was being weighed down by a ton of bricks. Even the usual morning rays were harsh and blinding against my barely opened eyesAll I could worry about was Evelyn and her involvement with my older brother… The worst case scenarios plagued every thought, both waking and ill-attempted sleep.What were Zane's plans? What was the ultimate goal? Why did it HAVE to involve Evelyn?I had to get to the bottom of this. Even if it meant doing something as stupid as confronting Zane directly. Sitting idly as his claws threatened to drag Evelyn into whatever dark world he was now absorbed in wasn't an option.After making myself look somewhat decent, I went straight to Zane's home. When I arrived, something about the atmosphere felt… off. It was like the bright sun overhead couldn't penetrate the dark cloud that seemingly hung over the place.I ascended th

Chapter 79 — Nothing But Lies

Evelyn's POVThe midday sun shone brilliantly against a cloudless sky and the breeze made my hair dance lightly across my face. It was a beautiful day, and one I intended to enjoy fully. Especially since Mila practically held me hostage in the townhome for all of last night.She wanted to know about everything that was going on between Zane and I. Even though, there truly was nothing outside of him just going above and beyond due to my falling out with Adrian.At first, she didn't really buy it. She didn't think that a man was willing to do all of that just because he was feeling bad.Yet, I insisted. I repeated myself like a broken record. There truly was nothing going on between Zane and I, no matter how much she wished it would be so.So, after countless hours of badgering me with the same questions and getting all my things unpacked and put away, Mila decided that she was more frustrated than satisfied."You better text me if something happens though!" She'd said the night before.

Chapter 80 — A Plan In Motion

Zane's POVAdrian was investigating me. Well, at least I was sure that he was, I just couldn't prove it.Just yesterday, Glenn caught track of someone looking into the Larsen family from Seattle. It was enough to raise alarm bells, but before he could track the source, it disappeared.Even though Adrian was too young to understand how our families once operated with one another, he would've been the only one who would be interested in looking them up. Especially now, given the circumstances of their fall from grace. Was he catching onto my past? No… He couldn't have. I'd been too careful. Maybe it was some journalist from the area who couldn't let go of the past.When I pulled up to the park where I knew Evelyn was going to be, I sat in the car for a little while longer. My eyes burned onto her beautiful figure the same way the cigarette smoke burned as it filled up my lungs.The way her hair framed her face, and her stiff, yet elegant posture, stood tall and defiant.I couldn't wait
