Real Married Life

Evelyn's POVBlair stared at me in complete disbelief, her perfectly composed features twisted with shock and outrage. Her blue eyes widened as if she couldn't comprehend what she'd just heard.How could the same woman who had spent years being a timid pushover suddenly dare to speak to her with such authority? "Since you're not willing to leave," I heard myself saying, my voice shaking with an adrenaline I didn't know I possessed, "then we'll go!"Without thinking, without planning, I grabbed Sebastian's hand and pulled him toward the door. My heart was hammering so hard I could barely breathe, but I couldn't stop moving."What are you—" Blair's voice rose behind us, sharp and incredulous, but I was already dragging Sebastian through the office doorway."Sebastian! Sebastian, where are you going? You can't just leave with her!" Her voice escalated to something close to a shriek as we rushed down the hallway.I didn't dare look back. I couldn't. My legs felt like they might give out

His Thoughts

Evelyn's POVThe silence stretched between us as Sebastian processed my request. His gray eyes searched my face, looking for some explanation that might make sense of what I'd just asked.Over the years since Sophie was born, Sebastian had never touched me. Not once. That kiss when he was drunk... he was probably picturing Blair the whole time. That's what made this request so complicated, so impossible to explain.For years, I had built a wall around my heart, treating Sebastian like a business partner, a roommate... anything but my husband. I’d suppressed any romantic feelings as inappropriate and hopeless. But deep down, in the secret corners of my heart, I'd always harbored fantasies about what it might be like if he truly loved me back.Facing his questioning stare now, I found the courage to repeat my request."I want us to live like a real married couple," I said softly. "Just for two weeks. Is that possible?"I'd said one month initially, but what I really needed was two w

Wait for Me Tonight

Evelyn's POVFor a second, I was stunned. Was he... concerned? About me? About my happiness with another man? The thought was so absurd I almost laughed.We had been married for almost seven years. All this time, we'd barely spoken beyond discussions about Sophie's schedule or household logistics. Our conversations were stiff, awkward. A minefield of things left unsaid.Yet now, when we were on the verge of divorce, we were finally able to sit together like civilized adults. Like friends, almost. There were no bitter accusations, no rehashing of old disappointments. Just two people having a calm, rational discussion about the end of their marriage.The irony of it all suddenly struck me as almost funny. Here we were, finally talking like normal people, and it was only happening because we were ending everything.I looked down at my coffee cup, my fingers absently tracing the rim as I processed the strange situation. My palms were slightly red from gripping the warm ceramic, but the

Ignited

Evelyn's POVI stood frozen beside the restaurant table, staring at Sebastian in complete shock.Wait for me tonight.What did he mean by that? Was he actually suggesting what I thought he was suggesting? Could he really be planning to... to actually follow through on my request for a real marriage?"I..." I started to speak, then stopped, completely at a loss for words.Sebastian's expression remained unreadable, giving me no clues about his intentions. He simply waited, watching my flustered reaction with that calm patience that made him so formidable in business negotiations.I heard myself agree with a numb nod. Then I grabbed my purse and practically fled to the restroom, desperate for a moment alone to collect myself.The bathroom mirror reflected back a face I barely recognized - flushed cheeks, bright eyes wide with confusion and something that might have been hope. I studied my reflection with sudden, intense scrutiny. For the first time in my adult life, I found myself tru

Is It Convenient?

Evelyn's POVI turned at the sound of Sebastian's voice, my heart still racing from the unexpected interruption. His eyes held a gentle warmth as he looked at me, a softness I hadn't seen directed toward me in years."What are you busy with?" he asked, his tone casual but attentive.But before I could answer, my attention was drawn to the small figure beside him, and my breath caught in surprise.Sophie stood there in the most beautiful pink tulle dress I'd ever seen, the fabric shimmering with tiny sequins that caught the evening light. Her dark hair was styled in elegant curls, held back by an intricate headband adorned with pearls and crystals. Even from a distance, I could see the subtle touch of makeup on her young face - a hint of lip gloss, a dusting of shimmer on her cheeks.She looked like a little princess ready for a royal ball."You're going to—" I started to ask, confusion evident in my voice.But Sophie interrupted me, practically bouncing with excitement as she rushed

Hold My Hand

Evelyn's POVThe ballroom was a symphony of crystal chandeliers and flowing silk, filled with the city's most influential figures. My midnight blue dress pooled at my feet, the long hem turning each step on the marble floor into a careful negotiation.Camera flashes erupted from every direction, capturing the evening's attendees in bright, stark bursts of light. Each flash made my body tense involuntarily, memories I'd tried to bury clawing their way to the surface.Six years ago. Another reception, another dress, another night when camera flashes had captured something I'd never wanted the world to see.The memory made my breathing shallow, my hands trembling slightly as I tried to maintain my composure."Are you afraid?" Sebastian's voice came from beside me, low and observant. When I looked up, his gray eyes were studying my face with that penetrating intensity that never failed to unnerve me.In his perfectly tailored tuxedo, he looked every inch the sophisticated heir - untoucha

Including Sleeping Together?

Evelyn's POVMy heart raced with sudden anxiety. If what this man was saying was true, if Sebastian's broken family situation became public knowledge here, it could destroy whatever business opportunities he was pursuing with the Ambassador's office.The political and social implications of a messy divorce scandal could have far-reaching consequences for Hawthorne Industries. I couldn't let that happen."Who are you?" Sebastian's voice cut through the tension with sharp authority. He stepped forward slightly, positioning himself between me and the stranger. "Are you a competing bidder for the same contracts?"With just two carefully chosen questions, Sebastian had managed to reframe the entire situation. Instead of defending against personal attacks, he'd redirected the conversation to paint this man as a business rival with ulterior motives.I felt a surge of admiration for his quick thinking and strategic mind. Even under pressure, he could identify the most effective way to neutr

Come to My Room

Evelyn's POVA sharp jolt ran through my entire body at his words.Although getting pregnant was exactly what I'd been planning, having him voice it so directly left me feeling completely exposed, as if my most guarded secret had been laid bare for all to see.Watching the deepening flush spread across my cheeks, Sebastian's voice softened, taking on an almost coaxing quality that made my knees weak."Wasn't it you who asked for a real marriage?" His voice dropped to that dangerously low register that never failed to make my pulse stutter. "And married life includes... that, doesn't it? So tell me—do you want it, or not?"His words seemed to roll over me like velvet, each syllable caressing every sensitive nerve ending in my body. The air between us grew thick and charged, as if the very atmosphere was holding its breath.In that suffocating silence, I dug my fingernails deep into my palms, the sharp pain my only anchor to reality as my heart hammered against my ribs.After what felt l

Be Gentle

Evelyn's POVWhen his voice reached my ears, my fingers instinctively clenched around the bathrobe's belt, the fabric bunching and wrinkling under my grip.My throat tightened, and my voice felt muffled as if cotton had been stuffed in my mouth. I managed to squeeze out a barely audible "yes" before hastily dropping my gaze, staring fixedly at my toes. I didn't even dare listen to the wind outside the window.The silence stretched between us, heavy with unspoken possibilities. I could hear him moving behind me, the soft rustle of his shirt, the quiet exhale that suggested he was considering his next words carefully.My fingers fumbled clumsily through the robe's sleeves, hastily tying the belt. Each movement felt magnified, hyperaware of his presence watching my every gesture. My steps felt weightless, like walking on cotton, as I made my way to the bedroom and sat sideways on the edge of the bed, my back rigid as a board.The mattress dipped slightly under my weight, and I found myse

Real Married Life

Evelyn's POVMorning light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the rumpled sheets.My body ached in ways that reminded me of every stolen kiss, every gentle touch from the night before. I shifted carefully, wincing slightly, and realized with a flush of heat that Sebastian was no longer beside me.The space where he'd been was still warm, his scent lingering on the pillow - that familiar cedar mixed with something uniquely masculine that made my pulse quicken even now.Who would have thought the man who appeared so refined and controlled in public could be so... intense behind closed doors? He had been like a wild man, stripping away his elegant facade to claim me with a ravenous, untamed hunger that left me entirely breathless.I pulled the sheet closer around me, memories of his hands, his mouth, the way he'd whispered my name like a prayer flooding back. My cheeks burned with the recollection of how thoroughly he'd unraveled me, how I'd come completely undone
