It was you who crept into my room while was asleep, taking liberties, she accused, pointing to her reddened cheek Look at this, my face is swollen. You're nothing but a creepi Walter's face flushed with embarrassment. He had been half asleep and had mistaken the situation for a dream, not realizing his own strength.

"Should I check it for you?" he offered, leaning in close almost immediately.

In her fluster, Evangeline's hand brushed against the bedside lamp, and the plug cloose, plunging the room back into darkness. Moonlight streamed through the window, bathing the two in a soft glow.

The moonlight softened Walter's chiseled features, and Evangeline felt the warmth of his breath as her other cheek blushed a deep crimson.

"No, no, stay back," said Evangeline, her voice faltering as she scooted back, nearly falling off the bed. Walter quickly caught her, pressing her back against the pillow, their bodies. awkwardly entangled.

She tried to shove him off, but he was as immovable as a boulder.

"What are you even doing back here? Hiding out and avoiding a divorce, too cowardly to face anyone?" Evangeline, clearly outmatched in strength, fought back with her words.

"You have the nerve to mention that? Did you forget our deal so quickly? You were hell-bent on this divorce, making a spectacle for the whole town. Feeling triumphant seeing the Gordon Group heir dumped in the headlines?" Walter's grip on her hand was firm, pinning her down, his gaze intense and unyielding. "Is that how badly you want to be rid of me?" Evangeline averted her gaze, dodging the heat in Walter's eyes. "Didn't you get your answer to that a long tago?" It was Walter who never wanted the marriage in the first place, who had been aloof and distant. He had treated her like a servant in the Gordon household for three years, nearly stripping away her spirit, her happiness, and her pride.

"So why show up now? You're nothing to the Gordons after the divorce," Walter demanded, his voice heavy with accusation Beneath him, el Evangeline squirmed, her skin brushing against his through the thin silk of her nigh own, an unintentional provocation. "I cto see Grandpa, not you. Why do you always have to make it about yourself?" Evangeline snapped. "You can't fool me. You've got to feel something for me, or why go after Julia? You're trying to get back at me, right?" challenged Walter before leaning in to kiss her.

He could not shake the doubt. If Evangeline hated him that much, why had she stayed with the Gordons for all those years? Why had she once cared for him so deeply?

He longed for the old Evangeline, the one who might have looked at him with something like affection. He did not like the new her, the one he was holding. It felt like trying to hold onto sand when he held her, slipping through his fingers. Lost in his turmoil, Evangeline kicked with all her might, sending Walter tumbling off the bed.

"Who's getting revenge on whom? Julia is my business, and if it ever involved you, that's Xistory. I'm begging you, just stay away and don't makehate you more," she said with a sneer. Her frigid words snuffed out Walter's burning desire like a doused flame.

He grabbed his suit jacket from the sofa, his back to Evangeline, and said, "Just don't cto regret your choices." With that, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
