Chapter 41

Seeing the anger burning in his eyes, Evelyn froze. This wasn't what she had expected. In fact, it was far from what she had been expecting after everything they had done last night.

What was wrong? Was it the phone call! Did he find out already about her relationship with Michael? Or was it about Samantha!

She shook her head inwardly. It couldn't be about Samantha since even her mom who knew about Samantha didn't know that Derek was Samantha's father.

So, what was he talking about? And why did he look so angry? It had to be about her and Michael, she thought as she took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry. I would have told you about it but I was scared if I did you wouldn't.."

"I wouldn't what?" He snapped, angrier at the admittance of her action.

"I bared my heart to you. I told you it had to be off records and between us. Why would you ever divulge such information to the public?" He asked bitterly

This time Evelyn looked at him, her brows drawn together in a confused frown. "Divulge what information? What are you talking about?" she asked, her heart pounding as she took in his cold demeanor. "Don't play dumb with me, Evelyn! It's too late for that when you already admitted to it," he growled and her frown deepened.

Evelyn dimmed her eyes so she could see what was on the screen. Her heart skipped a beat when her eyes caught the caption.
