Together Forever

Chapter 38

Evelyn's POV

My eyes widen in surprise as she walks in without bothering to ask for permission, her waist swings

with her, thanks to the six inches heels she is wearing. A tight burgundy dress is hugging her body

leaving her skinny legs full on display while her shiny red hair is bobbing with each step and though

she's here, it seems like she's walking on the ramp. When her eyes meet mine, she stops and slowly

puts off the sunglasses of her eyes. She scowls at me as her eyes go up and down my sitting frame as

if she's trying to recall something. Definitely I'm not making a good impression with my disheveled cloth

and hair sitting on the couch of billionaire Ethan Jones' apartment. I just wish this girl knows me and

doesn't think I'm some kind of fling.

I finally avert my eyes from her and look at Ethan who is standing in the same place with wide eyes,

still in shock. He looks at me, then Karla and then me again as an emotion shows up in his eyes that I

never witnessed before.

Fear.

These days I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I almost forgot that maybe all this would end

one day. This new, good and sweet side of Ethan made me forget about everything that he was before.

Girls were simply some kind of things he used to play with. He was never made for a relationship. Now

that he confessed to me and has been acting differently, does that mean he has fully changed?

I forgot everything. I gave in to him. But I just can't be like this. I have to be careful if I don't want to end

up with a broken heart.

I get off of the couch as I pull the hem of my white frock down and look directly in her hazel eyes that

are boring into mine.

"You? Umm, I … do I know you?" She forms her words pointing her finger at me.

Well, who the fuck does she think she is? This is Ethan's house and she's acting like it's hers. It's none

of her business who I am.

She looks back at Ethan as she asks, "Ethan, who is she? What is she doing here?"

Seriously? Is she his girlfriend that she's interrogating him? Well, she was but not anymore. She lost all

rights when the word ex was put before her name.

Instantly, his face hardens and he glares at her, "I should ask you that. What the hell do you think you

are doing here? How dare you come into my house without my permission?" He barks at her.

"Oh Ethan! Calm down babe."

Babe?

She makes her way towards Ethan with a seductive smile on her face, ignoring the daggers Ethan was

showering. When she stops in front of him, she raises her hand and places it on his chest but soon it's

slapped away from him.

She pouts dramatically, "Owww! Why are you being like this? It's not like you don't like me here." She

smirks.

"Well, for your information, if anyone in this world likes you, it sure as hell that their brain has been fed

up with disgusting worms since they can like a whiny hag like you. " He roars in utter disgust but that Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

bitch doesn't even budge on hearing such harsh words.

"Oh really darling? But you know what you seemed to like this same whiny hag a lot even some days

ago that you needed me...to keep your bed warm every night, remember?" She whispers, her eyes

gleaming in evilness.

I literally flinch at her nasty choice of words and once again fear flashes on Ethan's face as he looks at

me. But he covers it up quickly and turns to Karla.

"Oh sweetheart! Sorry for hurting you but the truth is if you ever think I liked you, then you really lack

common sense. I used you and then I got really bored so I threw you away. Understood?" He grits,

pure hatred in his eyes.

She chuckles slowly and runs her index finger down her forehead before saying, "What do you think

Ethan? Since I stepped in your life once, it's that easy to throw me away, huh?"

Ethan blows out a breath trying to gain some control, "Listen, Karla. I don't have time for hearing your

bullshit. Either say why you're here or I'll ask the guards to throw you out."

"Nah, you're so rude." She pouts, "I was just missing you honey. So I thought about giving you a visit."

She says and suddenly turns to me, "But I didn't know you already had someone here." She raises her

eyebrows at me.

I see Ethan's jaw clenching as he immediately grabs her arm and yanks her back causing her to gasp,

"Before your dirty mind thinks something bad about her, I would like to tell you her identity and I'm sure

after you know who she is, you will get a shock." Ethan says, gritting and at last fear shows up in her

eyes.

"Who is she?"

"She's the only heiress of the Grayson company, Miss Evelyn Gray."

As soon as he utters those words, her eyes widen in shock and her neck shoots back at me. Ethan lets

go of her hand harshly that she needs to compose herself not to fall. She keeps staring at me for a

pretty few seconds before opening her mouth.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I haven't seen you before so I didn't..."

I stop her, raising my hand.

"Cut the act and tell us why you are here." I don't know what made me so rude but the fact is that I

don't like her at all and I just can't like her.

She looks between me and Ethan with an upset face before opening her mouth, "I... actually I came

to..."

She gets cut off by Ethan,

"Got it Karla. You don't have any valid reason. Or maybe it's just that you got a bit of free time and

couldn't think what you can do to pass the time so you came here. But oops I'm busy. And I will highly

appreciate it if you leave now." He says angrily and soon Karla's face turns into a frown.

"Why Ethan? Now you just want me to leave because you got someone else, huh? And just a few days

ago, you kissed me in the mall." She bites out.

"Well, that was nothing. If you thought that kissing you meant we still had something between us, then

you were wrong. We didn't have and we won't ever."

Karla steps back and stands face to face Ethan as she bobs her head angrily, "What do you think of

me, Ethan? I'm that easy to get rid of. No, I'm not. I will see...you." She looks from him to me as she

says the last word.

She then puts on the sunglasses again and turning around, she gets out of the apartment, her hills

clapping against the floor.

After she's out of sight, Ethan looks at me and makes his way towards me, his face pale. I don't know

why but I feel a rush of anger inside me.

He stands in front of me and scrutinizes my face, I try to look as neutral as possible.

"Evelyn, I..." I cut him off.

"You don't have to say anything, Ethan. It's your life and everything is your choice. You don't owe me

an explanation." I say coldly and without giving another glance, I head back to my room and close the

door behind me.

The rest of the day passes by me staying inside the room. I decide not to go outside and Ethan doesn't

come to call me either.

My head feels like a mess. I walk back and forth in the room as my mind wanders through the memory

lane. Ethan kissed this girl in the mall and she was also his ex. Now she is back in his life. And who

knows how many exes he had. Now even if I believe that Ethan is trying to change, will it work? Will his

playboy character change forever just for me?

When did my life get attached to him like this? I couldn't realize. Now all I know is him. He's turning into

my addiction slowly. And no one knows better than me that this addiction will have no cure.

I'm in a mess.
