Yvette's POVI buried the paperwork as soon as I got home, then started thinking of all the possible ways to get him to do something about the media. To be honest, it was impossible and no idea came to my mind either because of that or because I wasn't thinking hard enough. Well, I didn't want to make him suspect a thing which was why I screwed the whole idea then waited for him to return and probably know what state of mind he was even in and his current stance with everything that was happening.He eventually did and I went to see him after an hour."Come in," he urged with a smile when I peered through the door.I walked in, doing nothing else other than looking around and trying to act cool."Your face looks dull but not so bad," he commented, forcing a smile out of me."And you're way too busy, it's even telling on your voice.""I guess I'll no longer be since you're here now…" he trailed off with a smirk then made his way to the bed where I was sitting.Everything in his room wa

Yvette's POV It has been a full frustrating week since I sent the pictures and audio recording to Christopher and also three weeks of not getting any response. Knox had been occupied with a lot of work, so him not finding out yet was definitely because he was too busy and I was so invested in making him remain focused on his work. He had mentioned how repeatedly I checked my phone and how he thought the habit had died down only for me to pick it up again after receiving the delivery. Of course, I told him that I was checking if our last move would have any visible impact or if anyone would show up with identical pictures to ours. He seemed to believe me, but heaven knew I was losing my mind each time my phone vibrated and his end was still dead quiet. It's one week now and I had to pretend to be calm because of course time should have washed off whatever eagerness or anxiety receiving the delivery must have built around me… "How about dinner tonight?" Knox suggested next to me. He

Knox's POVThe instant she ran off made me realise I had made a terrible mistake by not thinking my reaction through before exploding the way that I did.I scratched my head, very desperate to fix this mess even though I didn't know how to do that.I also couldn't just walk up to her and tell her everything Evelyn said because she'd be so disappointed in me for having to believe her lies except… Evelyn has never had a reason to lie to my face like that. She and Christopher had the same habit of leaving you with the truth whether or not you were capable of handling it.I stopped pacing right in front of the painting above my headboard, instantly realising her gaze had been stuck on the paintings before she bolted.Without any plan up my sleeve. I pushed open my door and walked towards her. My feet felt a strange repulsion with each step as she sobbed behind her door and suddenly I began to wonder if I should see her.Right. At least not tonight.I also needed to clear my head and look

Yvette's POVIt's been two days since that and thankfully, Knox hadn't said or done anything. Actually, that was a wrong testament considering I had done everything in my power to make sure that we don't meet or as much as bump into each other.I also hadn't heard from Christopher and I could swear at this point… my patience with him was growing miserably thin. A part of me believed that even while he stopped pressuring me that night, whatever Evelyn said must have been grave enough to pull such a reaction out of him in the first place. Worse, he'd almost never let something as grave as that go.Everything pointed towards my cover blowing up sooner than later, so I took the risk and even called Christopher with every contact I could use to reach him.I was surprised to hear a knock on my door because in those past two days, no one had knocked. I had always gone downstairs to eat breakfast and have dinner. I hesitated before nearing the door, waiting for whoever it was to knock again s

Yvette's POVI couldn't get any angrier knowing I had just ended up in Christopher's mansion. The very place he had hurt me and where I had promised I would never be, even with Knox around to protect me. But somehow, I had found myself there at that time of night.My patience grew even thinner with him hesitating. It freaked me out in a way I didn't dare to show, or else he could use my fear as an invitation… or maybe not, but it would certainly boost his ego. I wasn't sure I could handle that if it happened, so I mustered enough bravery and urged him all the more."In case you've forgotten, this place would be the first place he'd storm into if he finds out I'm missing."My suspicions were right.He turned in my direction abruptly, almost as if my words were a threat to whatever the reason was that made him so hesitant."Would he?""Thanks to whatever it is you told Evelyn. He'd know I'm the first person to suspect."The corner of his lips curled into what I'd always recognise as his
