Evan's POV
The look on her face when I demeaned her and her working ability in the conference room, somewhere made me feel guilty. Whatever I said was a damn lie. She was one of the most hard-working, smart and efficient employees but I wouldn't say that. I quickly pushed away any kind of remorse that was trying to dig it's way in.
She sat silently for the rest of the meeting, her eyes fixed on her fiddling fingers.
Before she could leave the room, I burdened her with some more work. I didn't want to lose my mind thinking about her . The slightest movements confused my head.Taking my blazer off, I exited the room and started walking towards my cabin but the scene in front of me boiled my blood. Brae stood there talking to Mr. Walker. He was a reputed pervert and didn't mind hitting on any and every beautiful woman. Coming closer, I heard him saying how a beautiful woman like her didn't deserv
Evan's POVShe nodded at me before getting on her tippy toes and attaching her lips to mine.I closed my eyes tightly to relieve the pain that was resurfacing in me. We used to spend a lot of time here in her house and I wasn't sure how easy it would be for me to come back here. Finally making up my mind I came out and locked the car before pressing the bell.A few seconds later the door opened."Evan?" Brillie looked shocked to find me at the door."Brielle." I acknowledged with a curt nod."Where is Braelyn?" She bit her lip, seemingly unsure of what her answer should be."She isn't feeling good. Maybe she will see you tomorrow?" There was a hint of worry in her eyes, like she didn't want me here . Most probably Brae had told her everything about today."No, I want to see her now. Can I come in?" I was determined."Uhh sure. Come in." She hesitantly moved away, allowing me to pass . I took a quick g
He was shocked when I said that it wasn't his fault and I wasn't angry at him but it was true. I could never be angry at him for whatever he was doing. If I was in his position, maybe I would have behaved more aggressively. It hurts, it hurts so much that we have come to this position where a civil conversation between us was nearly impossible but then it wasn't our fault. It wasn't.Flashback"You look so beautiful Sis! You look like a princess." Bri gushed at me as she looked at me through the mirror. I myself was overwhelmed with my final wedding look. It was a pearl white lace dress with a plunging neckline. The hair was done in a beautiful messy updo and my face had neutral makeup."I know right?" I smiled widely at her, causing her to laugh."I am anticipating Evan's face when he sees you. You will just blow his mind off." She clasped her hands together in excitement."Agreed." Both of us turned to look at Kate who just entered, looking
Brae's POVI had to save this stupid sister of mine.But what I didn't know was how I was going to do it. I couldn't imagine how hurt Evan would be with this decision. I was torn between the two most important people in my life.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice when I was in front of the door. William linked his hand with mine and passed me an encouraging smile.The song started playing which was my cue to enter. The gate opened , giving a clear view of the altar. We started walking down the aisle. I saw the smiling faces of all the guests. Amelia stood there with a large smile plastered on her face. My heart broke a bit more each time I saw everyone's happy faces. Everyone was happy except me. The increasing agony in my heart was becoming unbearable and my eyes fell on Kate. She was staring right back at me with a smirk on her face.When I looked up at Evan's face, I felt a stab of pain in my heart. He ha
Flashback Continues"Brae, what was that ?" I heard Bri burst in through the door. I wiped away my tears and walked past her into the kitchen with her following me."I want answers, Brae. How can you leave Evan at the altar in front of everyone?" I put the bottle of water down before taking a deep breath. I was already angry at Bri but didn't want to shout at her."That was the only option I had." I let out a vague answer. I didn't want to discuss anything at that moment."What are you saying? For what reason in the world would you do that to him?" My self-control broke when she shouted at me."For you. I did it for you.To save your stupid ass." I yelled back."What do you mean?" She looked confused and that was pissing me off even more."Why did you sign the contract for a stripper's job ?" I gritted through my teeth and saw the colour fade from her eyes."H-how do you..." She was stuttering. Was she asking how d
Evan's POV"Damn it." I threw the bottle on the floor which shattered into a million pieces."Woah! Relax man! Who shoved a stick up your ass huh?" Skipping through the glass shreds, Ryan climbed up and sat on the kitchen counter."So , why did you call? I was busy." He poured himself a glass of water."Busy as in?" I raised my eyebrows at him."Busy as in you don't need to know." He passed a sarcastic grin causing me to roll my eyes."Tell me why did you call?""I can't think properly anymore. I will become mad." I spoke as I kept pacing about the room."You mean, you weren't already?" I stopped walking to give him a murderous glare. Inching closer to him I put my finger up while speaking to him."Be serious Ryan. It's very important." I said in a low voice. He brought his face closer and with wide eyes spoke."Well what is so important?" He whispered back mockingly making me realise tha
Braelyn's POV"Our wedding day, you know it was the most awaited day of my life. I was excited like a fucking kid on Christmas but then everything changed in just a few minutes." He smiled sadly."That pain was too much for me. I felt as if my heart was being ripped out of my chest. I drank, drank madly to numb the pain but the more I drank I felt I was getting more drowned in grief , an unparalleled emptiness." I wanted to hold him, console him but I couldn't. The fact that he went through so much pain because of my stupidity, twisted my heart."To get away from all this I immersed myself in work, a lot of work. I didn't care for anything else other than the company, your words burning in my mind. I worked day and night to claim back all our losses. In these three years we covered every loss, bought shares in companies all over the world. I wanted to make you swallow your own words.I tried everything to forget you, your voice, your s
Braelyn's POV "Wait, I wanted to know!" I heard her whine while I was on my way to my cabin. Taking the report that I was supposed to complete last Friday, I went to his room. I prepared myself to not be affected by Kate's presence and do anything stupid. As I stood outside their room, I heard them speak. "Leave it." "No Evan. She doesn't deserve to be here. You should just kick her out of the office and make sure she doesn't get a job anywhere else." I gritted my teeth, trying not to explode. At the moment I wanted nothing more than to bang her head on a wall. "Kate , I said leave it. I will handle it." "Yes, like you did last time. Evan I don't want her hurting you anymore." Me hurting him? It was she who hurt him for her so-called love. "Can we not talk about it?" Evan's voice sounded like he was on the edge . "But -" "Please Kate." Evan's firm voice cut her argument. "Oka
Evan's POVA few minutes after Kate left, I walked into Brae's cabin. Entering, I saw her sitting on the desk with her head in her hands. She was gripping her hair in her hand."Ms. Taylor." On seeing me she straightened up but there was a slackness in her movement as if she was exhausted."Here are some files. I want these to be done within two days. And on Sunday, you're coming with me for lunch.""Is it a lunch meeting?" She asked."No. Only you're coming." I said."I need to work on these files on the weekend to complete it by Monday. I won't be able to come." I rolled my eyes. Of course she was coming. I wanted to talk to her ."So, You're going to manage your schedule and come." I ordered in a bossy tone."I can't." She gritted through her teeth."Are you disobeying me Ms. Taylor? Have you forgotten that I am your boss?" I folded my hands across my chest and this seemed to snap her patienc
