Chapter 26: It’s Not My Fault We’re Falling Apart

He grabbed my right arm and pulled me up. I wasn't planning on following him, but he was so strong that he pulled me to my feet.

"If you have something to discuss with me, talk to me directly," Ash added, giving her a deadly glare.

"How can I talk to you if you won't even bother to meet me, Cassius?" Evangeline said, the frustration evident in her voice.

Ash was able to push her to her limit, unlike anyone else. What's their real relationship? I know it's not just friendship, and I'm not stupid enough not to notice that. "We have nothing to talk about," Ash answered, his tone cold.

Evangeline raised a brow. "Really?"

"You can't do that." Ash said, smirking. "You don't have any evidence, do you?

"I do have one." Evangeline smirked before reaching into her pocket. But she seemed alarmed when she couldn't find it. "Fuck, where's my phone?!" "Looking for this?"

My eyes widened when I saw Ash holding Evangeline's phone. I tilted my head, wondering how Ash managed to get her phone without her noticing.

"There. You don't have any evidence anymore," Ash said, twirling the phone in his hand before letting it fall to the floor.
