Chapter 281-290

Chapter 281 – Distrust
“Fine… as you wish, let’s talk.” He uttered with no warmth in his voice. “Let’s talk about that man you married, Evie.”

Evie felt her heart squeezed in pain as she looked at him. His eyes were coated over with anger. Now that she was looking at him without that nagging thought that he was someone else, Evie realized how wretched he looked. And she could barely hold back her tears from spilling from her eyes.

He had the look of a man who went through hell over and over. He was spilling over with so much darkness and power, but he was heartbreakingly damaged. At that moment, Evie realized what people meant when they say there was something hauntingly beautiful in broken things.

This man… how hauntingly beautiful he was right now as he looked down at her.

Just looking at him made her heart bleed and she could no longer hold back her tears from falling silently from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing the tears falling from her eyes, Gavrael’s jaws worked. He loosened his grip on her wrists thinking that he must have hurt her. Or was she tearing up to throw him off, because she knew her tears were always his greatest weakness?

The thought made him harden his heart. “If you think your tears will work on me like it used to, then I’m sorry to tell you it isn’t as effective anymore, Evie. So, stop crying and talk now. Tell me everything you know about that man. Because if you don’t, I might force –” He was cut off before he could finish his warning.
