Semua Bab Moonlight After the Storm: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Evelyn's emotions had swung wildly all day. After discussing the company's relocation with her parents, she stayed overnight at the Fitzgerald home.Graham usually couldn't sleep unless Evelyn was beside him, yet he agreed almost immediately. She didn't need to guess who was keeping him company.The image of Graham and Mara together lodged in Evelyn's mind like a thorn, leaving her sleep restless and shallow.Half awake, she dreamed the same nightmare Graham had once described.In the dream, Graham fell in love with the club waitress. Whenever that woman suffered any injury, he insisted Evelyn had caused it and punished Evelyn twice as harshly.For protecting her, Sophie Carter was sent to prison and tormented to death. Evelyn's father died of a heart attack, and her mother's hair turned white overnight.After Graham's men accused Evelyn of harming his beloved, they beat her until she miscarried and left her permanently unable to have children.Evelyn woke with her pillow soaked

Evelyn could feel Graham becoming impatient.He wanted Sophie removed so Evelyn would have no one useful beside her.He wanted Fitzgerald Holdings weakened so she would lose her family's protection.What was the point? He feared the ending from his dream, yet he couldn't stop himself from following the same path.To avoid making him suspicious, Evelyn returned home obediently that evening.She hadn't expected Mara to be seated at the dining table.When Evelyn entered, Graham brought her soup that he had cooled in advance."To celebrate Mara securing the contract, I promised to bring her home for dinner."Only then did Evelyn notice the large king crab on the table.Evelyn loved crab, but it often worsened her circulation and stomach pain.For her health, Graham had once agreed that they would only eat it when celebrating one of Evelyn's major contracts.Now he had given that private ritual to another woman.Evelyn had thought her heart was already numb, but a dull ache stil

"Evelyn!"Darkness swallowed her. Just before she lost consciousness, Evelyn thought she heard Lucas calling her name.Lucas carried her to his car and headed for the hospital.A black luxury sedan cut him off on the road."Mr. Bennett, where are you taking my wife?"Because Evelyn was unconscious, Lucas had to hold her upright in the back seat so she wouldn't fall.The sight drove Graham nearly mad with jealousy."Mrs. Prescott became ill. I was taking her to the hospital."Graham pulled Evelyn forcefully from the car. "My wife doesn't require your assistance."For reasons he couldn't explain, Lucas remained uneasy.Then he noticed a spreading bloodstain on Evelyn's white dress."She's bleeding!"Graham's chest tightened, and his arms trembled around her.But when he saw her closed eyes, another thought occurred to him."Evie, stop pretending."Your cycle should have started around now."Evelyn woke again in Graham's car, still trapped in waves of pain.Relief crossed

"Graham..." Mara threw herself into his arms, sobbing. "The project Ms. Fitzgerald gave me is worthless."She had a doctor inject me with something that nearly killed me, and now even her apology gift is fake. She clearly has no remorse. Graham, you have to..."She poured out her grievances, but Graham heard only the parts concerning Evelyn."An empty project?"How was that possible?The memory of Evelyn being forced to sign the transfer agreement returned, and his growing unease became unbearable.Losing that project should have crippled Fitzgerald Holdings. Prescott Group would then absorb the company piece by piece until nothing remained.Evelyn would live happily beneath his protection and would never again be able to leave him.He knew he had acted too quickly, but only by breaking Evelyn's wings could he free himself from the nightmare's ending.Now that the plan had slipped beyond his control, he couldn't sit still."Find out where Fitzgerald Holdings moved the money t

She trusted him.Evelyn had always loved animals, and at Silvercrest University she had befriended a small colony of stray cats.One day, the friendliest orange tabby on campus was struck by a car.By the time Evelyn found him, someone had already taken him to an animal hospital.That person was Adrian Caldwell.Besides, a company as small as Fitzgerald Holdings offered him almost nothing worth exploiting.Evelyn assumed he either had a private condition he didn't want discussed or faced intense family pressure and needed a presentable wife.Neither possibility harmed her.Sophie nodded at Evelyn's reasoning, then rested her chin on one hand and studied her beautiful employer.There was another possibility.But after everything Evelyn had endured in her last relationship, Sophie decided it was better to focus on business first.That afternoon, Evelyn and Adrian had a date.The primary purpose was to discuss their engagement celebration.Even after everything she had surviv
