Evadne squinted her tired, dull eyes, staring at Cassius for a moment before shifting under the covers and shutting her eyes again.
“Look, either you let Thaddeus go, or you get up and make him fall for you all over again,” Cassius said, his voice sharp with frustration. His dark eyes burned with a restless energy. “But wasting your life like this, hiding away in here—what’s the point?”
“You’re so noisy…”
Evadne buried her face deeper into the pillow. Her dark hair spilled across the crisp white sheets, making her look even smaller and more fragile. “Just leave, will you? I want to sleep!”
Cassius, the oldest brother—more like a father than a sibling—felt anger, pity, and helplessness all at once.
He knew: no one could untangle her heart but Thaddeus himself.
“Ms. Evadne, if you’re hungry, you can have anything you want from the hotel kitchen,” Jason fretted, lingering nearby. “Why instant noodles? Let me cook you something real. It’s not good for you, eating that stuff.”
Evadne’s reply was muffled but clear, “Noodles are tasty. I like them.”
Aaron, who knew Evadne’s stubborn streak all too well, realized gentle words wouldn’t work. He’d have to switch up his game.
He walked over to the bed, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, voice low and devilish, “I found out who’s been meeting with Avery lately.”
In an instant, Evadne shot upright, eyes wide with sudden energy. “Who?!”
Aaron wrinkled his nose dramatically. “Whoa, girl, you need a shower. If housekeeping finds you like this tomorrow, they’ll call the cops and think it’s a crime scene.”
Jason snorted, half-laughing at Aaron’s exaggeration.
Aaron pressed on, “Go wash up, eat something decent, and I’ll tell you what I found out.”
It worked like a charm. Evadne scrambled off the bed, bare feet padding across the floor, wobbling a little as she made her way to the bathroom.
Cassius watched her go, worry creasing his brow deeper and deeper. He noticed the way she hunched over, her thin legs trembling.
“Evadne, are you alright?” Cassius called, concern spilling out.
“I’m fine… I’ll just be quick,” Evadne whispered back, voice barely above a breath.
But Cassius didn’t believe her; he could sense something was off. He hurried toward her. “Are you sure you feel okay? If you’re not, I’m taking you to the ER right now.”
