The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 516

"Did you see it clearly? Owner: Evelyn! Not Dahlia!" Aiden thrust the freshly

minted property deed right under Dahlia's nose, the name 'Evelyn' glaring back at her, igniting a fiery jealousy in her eyes.

After all the time she spent there, Charles never considered putting the villa in her name. Now, it was under Evelyn's. It felt like a dagger to her heart.

"Planning to cling on, are you? Tried to swipe Ms. Evelyn Debbie's identity, and now you're eyeing the villa too?" Aiden taunted, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Dahlia's chest tightened with anger, but she felt powerless. The house wasn't hers, and she knew she had to leave. Swallowing her pride, she wheeled herself towards the exit, her face flushed with humiliation.

For years, Charles had covered all her expenses. Nothing in the house had been bought with her money. Now, with Charles pulling the plug, she was left empty- handed.

Aiden and his entourage left, while the butler, citing rules against trespassers, practically shoved Dahlia out of the villa grounds. She was pushed out like unwanted trash.

With nowhere else to go, and unwilling to end up on the streets, she returned to the dingy apartment she had rented for Wesley before his stint in prison. The lease was still valid.

She fished out the key from under the doormat and entered. The small, run-down apartment, furnished with second-hand items, had been empty for a while and smelled musty. The stench nearly made Dahlia gag as she stepped inside, deepening her frown.
