Evelyn's POV
I couldn't believe the audacity. The sheer nerve Victor had to approach me after I had so clearly ended things.
It wasn't just over—I wanted nothing to do with him.
And yet, here he was, still trying to force himself into a story that had already closed its final chapter.
He needed to accept it. Move on. Find another woman foolish enough to tolerate him because I wasn't that woman, and I never would be.
More than that, I didn't even want to be seen around him. Not now. Not when I had finally found my way back to Nathan.
I had waited seven years—seven damn years—believing the love of my life was dead before I even considered moving forward.
And now that he was back, now that I was engaged to him, I wasn't about to let something as stupid as Victor's delusions jeopardize what I was trying to rebuild.
Nathan had doubted me once. I had fought too hard to erase that doubt from his heart. I couldn't let him question my love for him again.
