BOOK3 Chaptert10
He sat there all night, his s**bs gradually subsiding into a silent, desolate weeping...
The next morning, he showered, dressed impeccably, and reverted to his usual commanding self.
I assumed he was going to the office, but instead, he drove to the Carter estate.
The Carters were having breakfast.
Evelyn, seeing him, jumped up to greet him, but he pushed her away.
Used to being adored, she bristled. "What's this about, Ethan? You're acting like your ex-wife's death is the end of the world. I even let you walk out on me last night without a word. Who are you trying to impress with this act?"
Ignoring her, he walked up to Mr. Carter and slammed a file on the table. "If you want to avoid disgrace, spending your remaining years drowning in scandal, you'll convince Evelyn to turn herself in."
I had no idea what was in that file or how he had gotten it.
Mr. Carter's face paled as he read the documents. "Where... where did you get this?" He tried to sound defiant, but his voice trembled. "You wouldn't dare..."
Ethan laughed coldly. "I wouldn't be here if I was afraid."
Evelyn, her face flushed with anger, intervened. "What are you talking about, Ethan?"
Ethan looked at her father, ignoring her. "You should be grateful to your precious. daughter. Without her, this would have come out in a few months. I'm giving you a chance to save yourself. I want Evelyn to pay for her crime. Nothing more." Evelyn's mother, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "What are you talking
about? What crime? Pay for what?"

Ethan finally looked at Evelyn. "She knows what she did. You think providing a false alibi to the police would fool me?"
"Ethan!" Evelyn's voice shook, her composure crumbling. "I'm your fiancée!"
Ethan scoffed. "You didn't actually believe I would marry you, did you?"
"What do you mean?" Her confidence wavered. "You're still hung up on Yuna? But... but you divorced her! You got rid of your baby! Even if she wasn't dead... you two could never be together again!" Evelyn, despite her irritating personality, had a point.
Even if I were alive, there was no going back
Her words seemed to break something in Ethan. He glared at her, then at her father. "Incest isn't exactly legal in this country. Besides, your family disgusts me."
His words stunned everyone, including me.
Ethan and Evelyn were siblings? Ethan was Mr. Carter's illegitimate son? He was seeking revenge?
But... what did their feud have to do with me? Why was I caught in the crossfire? Just because I had fallen in love with him?
