Chapter 1

Evelyn’s POV“Happy Birthday!”I screamed and my eyes flew open as confetti exploded above my head.I scrambled backward until my back hit the headboard. My heart pounded violently. For a second, I couldn’t breathe.Amelia stood at the foot of my bed holding a party popper. Her parents stood behind her carrying a birthday cake. All three of them stared at me in shock.“Evelyn!” Amelia rushed forward. “What’s wrong?”I stared at her and my blood ran cold as my eyes darted around the room. I was back in my bedroom and I wasn't bleeding out on a cold marble floor. “Evelyn?” Mrs. Dawson touched my forehead. “You’re shaking.”I jerked away from her hand and the movement startled everyone.They all looked at me with concern shining in their eyes and suddenly the room became completely silent, at least to me. Their mouths moved but I couldn't hear anything because the people standing in front of me were supposed to be my murderers.Amelia frowned, “You’re scaring us, Evelyn.”I couldn’t sto

Chapter 2

Evelyn’s POVThe ballroom fell silent.Ethan stared at me from where he was kneeling on the floor. The smile had disappeared from his face.Beside me, Amelia looked equally shocked, even her parents had gone pale and for a few seconds, nobody moved, nobody spoke.The entire room seemed frozen, then I laughed, the sound echoing through the ballroom.Confusion flashed across Ethan’s face and I covered my mouth and shook my head.“Oh my God.”A few nervous laughs came from the crowd.“Evelyn?” Ethan asked carefully.I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his neck, the tension in the room instantly eased.“You should see your faces.”The crowd erupted as laughter filled the ballroom. Several guests shook their heads.One woman placed a hand over her chest, “You nearly gave us a heart attack.”Amelia laughed nervously while Ethan slowly stood. His expression was still confused.I looked up at him and forced the brightest smile I could manage.“Of course I’ll marry you,” I said through

Chapter 3

Evelyn’s POVI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ethan and Amelia kissing on my screen then I heard Ethan’s voice.If your father managed to pull it off, so can we.The words replayed in my head over and over again.What exactly had Amelia’s father done and why had she looked so terrified when Ethan mentioned it?By morning, I still didn’t have an answer but I did have something else.Evidence.My phone buzzed on the nightstand. It was Ethan.A smile tugged at my lips. The old Evelyn would have answered immediately.This time, I deliberately let it ring three times before picking it up.“Good morning, beautiful.”The familiar endearment made my stomach turn with disgust. “Morning,” I greeted curtly. “You left the party early.”I forced a laugh, “I told you I had a headache.”“Are you feeling better now?”“Much better.”A brief silence followed then Ethan chuckled.“You know, you nearly killed me with a heart attack yesterday.”I smiled despite myself, not because I fo

Chapter 4

Evelyn’s POV“Evelyn?”I blinked and looked up at Mrs. Lewis. She was still standing by the door waiting for my response.Beside me, Amelia was watching carefully.For a brief moment, I considered asking to see the detective immediately then I stopped myself.No, that would be stupid. The old Evelyn would never be interested in a detective. The old Evelyn trusted the Dawsons completely and right now, I needed them to believe I was still that Evelyn.I laughed lightly.“If Uncle Robert has been handling it, then it’s probably nothing important.”Relief flashed across Amelia’s face so quickly that she couldn’t hide it. It disappeared almost immediately, but I had already seen it.Mrs. Lewis looked hesitant, “Are you sure, Miss Parker?”I nodded, “Of course. Uncle Robert always takes care of these things.”Amelia smiled, “Exactly. No need to bother our bride-to-be.”I turned back toward my computer, “You can send him away.”Mrs. Lewis looked uncertain but eventually nodded, “Alright.”The

Chapter 5

Evelyn’s POVMy grip tightened around the phone. For several seconds, I couldn’t speak, breathe, or even think. The room seemed to tilt beneath me.“What?” The word came out as a whisper.Detective Harris sighed, “I was afraid you didn’t know.”My heart pounded violently, “Tell me everything.”The detective was silent for a moment before speaking.“Not over the phone.”My stomach twisted with anxiety, “Then where?”“I’ll text you an address.”I immediately shook my head, “No.”The detective paused, “No? You don't want us to meet?”“You said my life is in danger. The people responsible know you’re investigating them. If they’re watching you, they could be watching wherever we meet,” I explained. He chuckled softly, “You’re smarter than I expected.”“I’ll send a location. You choose somewhere else if you don't like it,” I said. “Fair enough,” he agreed, and the call ended. A few minutes later, I sent him an address. It was one of my father’s old properties that sat on the outskirts of

Chapter 6

Evelyn’s POVAs I drove back home, I expected to feel sadness; instead, all I felt was rage. For ten years, I had believed my parents died in a tragic accident.For ten years, I had trusted the people who stepped in afterward and claimed they loved me.For ten years, Robert Dawson had played the role of guardian while stealing from me behind my back.But now I know the truth.My parents hadn’t died by chance. Someone wanted them dead, and someone wanted me dead, too.The only reason I was still alive was that I happened to get sick. A simple fever had changed everything.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.Not anymore. I was done being lucky, I was done surviving. It was time to fight back.—The next morning, I arrived at Parker Holdings before anyone else. Mrs. Lewis nearly dropped her coffee when she saw me.“Miss Parker?”I smiled, “Good morning.”She blinked twice. “You’re here early.”“I couldn’t sleep.”That wasn’t a lie. After what Detective Harris had told me, sleep fel

Chapter 7

Evelyn’s POVThe next morning, I sat in my bedroom with my laptop open in front of me.The hidden camera feeds filled the screen. For the past week, those cameras had become my greatest weapon.I clicked on the feed monitoring the Dawsons’ living room. The room was empty.I was about to close the application when movement appeared on the screen.My eyes narrowed as Amelia entered first. She looked nervous. A few seconds later, Ethan walked in with Mrs. Dawson and her husband. The moment he entered the room, he slammed the door shut behind him.Robert didn’t even sit down before speaking.“What the hell happened to the accounts?” he snapped. Nobody answered, and his gaze immediately landed on Ethan.“You said everything was under control,” he shot at him. Ethan frowned, “I do.”“Then explain why millions of dollars suddenly became inaccessible overnight,” Robert snapped. I leaned forward in my chair. Robert was furious.Amelia folded her arms.“I told you,” she said. Robert turned

Chapter 8

Evelyn’s POVThe ballroom glittered beneath crystal chandeliers. Champagne flowed freely as politicians, business executives, reporters, and socialites filled the room.Just as I requested.I wanted witnesses. I wanted an audience. Most importantly, I wanted nowhere for them to hide.Standing at the entrance, I watched the guests arrive one after another.Mrs. Lewis approached my side.“Everyone is here,” she said. I smiled, “Good.”The trap was set. Now all I had to do was wait for the prey to walk into it.As if on cue, Ethan entered the ballroom. He looked handsome in a tailored black suit. Once upon a time, the sight of him would have made my heart race. Now all I felt was disgust.The moment he spotted me, a charming smile spread across his face.“There she is,” he grinned. He crossed the room and wrapped an arm around my waist. I resisted the urge to push him away.“Tonight is incredible,” he said. “Thank you.”His eyes swept across the crowd, “I knew you wanted something spe

Chapter 9

Evelyn’s POVThe knife never reached me. Before Robert could take another step, three officers tackled him to the ground.The ballroom erupted into chaos as women screamed, guests stumbled backward, and reporters rushed forward with cameras raised.The entire scene unfolded in seconds.One moment, Robert Dawson was a respected businessman. Next, he was pinned face-first against the floor in handcuffs.“Let me go!” His roar echoed throughout the ballroom.The officers tightened their grip.“Robert Dawson, you’re under arrest.”“I didn’t do anything!”I almost laughed.The irony was unbelievable. For ten years, he had stolen from me. For ten years, he had lied to me. For ten years, he had hidden behind the mask of a loving guardian.And now he wanted to play the victim.Across the room, Amelia looked as though she might collapse. Mrs. Dawson was openly crying. Ethan stood frozen in place.Nobody moved to help Robert; nobody could. The evidence had already been shown, and his confession h

Chapter 10

Evelyn’s POVSix months later.I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office and watched the city below.The view was breathtaking, but today, I barely noticed it.A knock sounded at the door.“Come in.”Mrs. Lewis entered with a smile.“It’s official,” she said. I turned toward her.“They’ve all been sentenced,” she announced. A peaceful feeling settled inside my chest.Mrs. Lewis placed a folder on my desk.“Robert Dawson received multiple life sentences. His wife was sentenced for conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Amelia received a reduced sentence for cooperating after her arrest.”Amelia had spent years pretending to be my sister; now she would spend years paying for her choices.That was enough.“And Ethan?” I asked.Mrs. Lewis smiled, “He received twenty-five years.”A slow breath escaped me. Twenty-five years, that was the rest of his youth and his future. Exactly as he had planned to do to me.“Thank you.”Mrs. Lewis nodded.“There’s one more thing. The
