All Chapters of After Five Years of Lies, the Don Regretted It: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Evelyn's POVAfter three weeks of vacation with my family, I felt like a completely different person. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a smile on my face I hadn't seen in a long time.My father arranged my legal name change and gave me my new ID as a special gift."From today on, there's no Evelyn Gambrelli in this world anymore. There's only Evelyn Winston, my precious princess," Nolan said proudly."Congratulations, Evelyn," Lorenzo said. "You can finally say goodbye to the past for good.""Say goodbye for good..."Lorenzo's words wouldn't leave my head. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened in New York, about... Aurora.I made an excuse to pull Lorenzo aside and asked him, "Lorenzo, have you heard anything about Aurora lately?"Lorenzo was silent for a moment, and his expression turned grave. Only after I pressed him a few times did he finally tell me. "Aurora's been presumed dead. They still haven't found her remains, but her family held a funeral for her no

Evelyn's POVFour years later.With the support of my parents and my brother, I'd become a central figure in the Winston family. I'd taken over most of the Winston business and invested in a lot of other industries too.The Winston family had long been the most powerful family in Europe, with the final say in its underworld. But I didn't think we should stop there, so I set my sights on more sectors, like real estate and healthcare.I had to admit, I really did have a talent for it. In just a few years, the projects I picked all took off and brought in a lot of money for us. One medical project had done something extraordinary.Right now, I was in the ballroom of the most luxurious hotel in the city, hosting a celebration."A few years ago, we launched a project nobody believed in. No one was willing to support us, no one would invest, and we were almost forced to give up on all of it," said the project lead, a young blond man, speaking onstage. "Back then, no one could have guessed we

Federico's POVFelipe's words made my heart race. I didn't even grab my jacket before rushing downstairs.But I searched the entire hotel and didn't see Evelyn anywhere.Felipe swore he hadn't been wrong. But it was already dark, and more than half an hour had passed since he'd seen Evelyn. I couldn't help feeling discouraged. Does God really not want to give me one more chance to see Evelyn?Seven o'clock. Nothing else mattered to me right now, but Felipe still steered me to the main restaurant."Don, don't forget you're supposed to meet the Winston family tonight. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance," he said.But all I could think about was Evelyn. I followed him numbly, like an empty shell.We walked into the main restaurant. Felipe suddenly gasped. "Don! She's right there!"I looked up. Sure enough, it really was Evelyn! She was right there!I stood frozen where I was. I could barely think.I was looking at the person who'd appeared in my dreams countless times, and now she was ri

Evelyn's POVAurora's family told me Federico hadn't lied to me.Aurora really had lost her memory, and Federico had been protecting them all these years.They let me spend some time alone with Aurora, hoping I could help her remember something. Once we were alone in her bedroom with the door locked, Aurora suddenly grabbed my arm.I looked down and saw tears streaming down Aurora's face. Stunned, I frowned, and then I heard her say, "Evelyn, I missed you so much!"So Aurora had never lost her memory.It had all been an act.Four years earlier.Aurora survived the crash and was washed up onto a stretch of shore. She had broken bones all over her body and couldn't stand at all. All she could do was drag herself toward the lights.But right then, she overheard something terrifying.The lights came from a few men in black who were searching for her. They were talking to each other."We have to make sure she's dead. That's the only way Mr. Smith will pay us the rest.""She's definitely dea

Evelyn's POV"Our son?"Federico froze. It took him a few seconds to snap out of it.He didn't ask any questions. He grabbed his phone and coat right away and followed me to the car. He didn't even change his shoes.On the way, Federico called people at the hospital and told them to get ready ahead of time.By the time we got to the hospital, the medical staff were already standing by.Everything went smoothly. Federico's blood helped Simon recover quickly. An hour later, he was finally out of danger.Only then did Federico exhale and finally take a good look at the boy in front of him.I had to admit, they looked so much alike. Simon was a miniature Federico. They had exactly the same features, the same hair color, the same air about them.Federico still couldn't believe Simon was his son. But looking at that face, he had no choice but to believe it.Over the years, I'd often seen traces of Federico in Simon myself.I tucked Simon in and called Federico out of the room. We talked in t
