Together Forever novel Chapter 38

Evelyn's POV

My eyes widen in surprise as she walks in without bothering to ask for permission, her waist swings with her, thanks to the six inches heels she is wearing. A tight burgundy dress is hugging her body leaving her skinny legs full on display while her shiny red hair is bobbing with each step and though she's here, it seems like she's walking on the ramp. When her eyes meet mine, she stops and slowly puts off the sunglasses of her eyes. She scowls at me as her eyes go up and down my sitting frame as if she's trying to recall something. Definitely I'm not making a good impression with my disheveled cloth and hair sitting on the couch of billionaire Ethan Jones' apartment. I just wish this girl knows me and doesn't think I'm some kind of fling.

I finally avert my eyes from her and look at Ethan who is standing in the same place with wide eyes, still in shock. He looks at me, then Karla and then me again as an emotion shows up in his eyes that I never witnessed before.

Fear.

These days I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I almost forgot that maybe all this would end one day. This new, good and sweet side of Ethan made me forget about everything that he was before.

Girls were simply some kind of things he used to play with. He was never made for a relationship. Now that he confessed to me and has been acting differently, does that mean he has fully changed?

I forgot everything. I gave in to him. But I just can't be like this. I have to be careful if I don't want to end up with a broken heart.

I get off of the couch as I pull the hem of my white frock down and look directly in her hazel eyes that are boring into mine.

"You? Umm, I … do I know you?" She forms her words pointing her finger at me.

Well, who the fuck does she think she is? This is Ethan's house and she's acting like it's hers. It's none of her business who I am.

She looks back at Ethan as she asks, "Ethan, who is she? What is she doing here?"

Seriously? Is she his girlfriend that she's interrogating him? Well, she was but not anymore. She lost all rights when the word ex was put before her name.

Instantly, his face hardens and he glares at her, "I should ask you that. What the hell do you think you are doing here? How dare you come into my house without my permission?" He barks at her.

"Oh Ethan! Calm down babe."

Babe?

She makes her way towards Ethan with a seductive smile on her face, ignoring the daggers Ethan was showering. When she stops in front of him, she raises her hand and places it on his chest but soon it's slapped away from him.

She pouts dramatically, "Owww! Why are you being like this? It's not like you don't like me here." She smirks.

"Well, for your information, if anyone in this world likes you, it sure as hell that their brain has been fed up with disgusting worms since they can like a whiny hag like you. " He roars in utter disgust but that bitch doesn't even budge on hearing such harsh words.

"Oh really darling? But you know what you seemed to like this same whiny hag a lot even some days ago that you needed me...to keep your bed warm every night, remember?" She whispers, her eyes gleaming in evilness.

I literally flinch at her nasty choice of words and once again fear flashes on Ethan's face as he looks at me. But he covers it up quickly and turns to Karla.

"Oh sweetheart! Sorry for hurting you but the truth is if you ever think I liked you, then you really lack common sense. I used you and then I got really bored so I threw you away. Understood?" He grits, pure hatred in his eyes.

She chuckles slowly and runs her index finger down her forehead before saying, "What do you think Ethan? Since I stepped in your life once, it's that easy to throw me away, huh?"

Ethan blows out a breath trying to gain some control, "Listen, Karla. I don't have time for hearing your bullshit. Either say why you're here or I'll ask the guards to throw you out."
