Chapter5
Call after call lit up my phone.
I didn’t answer a single one.
Evelyn, will you please pick up?

Answer me! It’s urgent!
Baby, don’t scare me like this… why aren’t you home?
Evelyn! If you don’t pick up, I’m calling the police!

The phone kept buzzing, his messages flooding
I stared at them in silence and didn’t reply to a single word.
11-11
Sophie Lancaster sat beside me, trembling with rage, looking ready to storm over to William Ashford’s place and tear him apart.
“That bastard, sneaking around like this? He has no shame!” she fumed.
“You two are already engaged, the wedding’s right around the corner, and he’s still bold enough to cheat on you?”
Her fury was the polar opposite of what I felt.
Pobreonine with his mistress? Absolutely hear
After watching the livestream, I’d found… calm.

When my anger had been at its peak, I’d thrown three Royal Gala Gifts into the stream, just to make sure William saw them and knew I wasn’t oblivious.
Once that was done, the fire burned out.
No more rage. No more humiliation.
Just an emptiness so deep it almost felt like relief.
From the moment I learned the truth until now, it had been one stab wound after another, each cutting deeper than the last.
Ten years of knowing him. Seven years of being together.
He’d become part of my blood, my flesh.
Ripping him out was always going to hurt this much.
But once the pain peaked… it began to fade.
Before long, Sophie’s phone rang. William’s name lit up her screen.
“Do I pick up?” she asked.
I nodded.
“Go ahead. We might as well end this properly.”
She answered, and William’s voice came through instantly, tight with panic.
“Sophie, is Evelyn there? I can’t find her anywhere! I called her parents, they said she never came home… I’m really worried about her.”
“If she’s with you, please let me talk to her. I just want to have a proper conversation.”
Sophie let out a cold laugh.
“What is there to talk about? William, I’ve known you for years, and I never imagined you’d be this disgusting.”

“Why don’t you go live happily ever after with your mistress? I wish you both a long, long marriage, just don’t drag Evelyn down with
you.”
After unloading every ounce of her disgust, Sophie hung up without a hint of hesitation.
But William wasn’t stupid.
He’d heard enough in her tone to know I must have told her everything,
which meant I was with her right now.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
I didn’t need to look to know it was him.
“Don’t answer it,” Sophie hissed. “Let him stand out there all night. I don’t even want to see his face.”
I glanced at the clock. It was nearly midnight.
If he kept pounding on the door, the neighbors would complain.
I shook my head.
“No… I’ll end this face–to–face.”
