A Familiar Face

Evelyn stared at Ronan in shock, her words catching in her throat. She knew he had the means to dig up information if he wanted to, but she hadn't expected him to be this powerful. Regaining her composure, she replied, "If you already know that, then you must also be aware that we were dating six years ago. That's the main reason we agreed to this marriage."

"So, you still have feelings for each other?" Ronan asked, his voice steady, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of something deeper. He wasn't surprised—Zevian's behavior had already made it clear—but he wanted to hear it from Evelyn herself, even if it meant facing rejection for the first time in his life.
