By the time Mason hauled him back to the hotel , Callum was slumped over his shoulder , mumbling like a broken record . " Evie , you're so naughty .. why won't you come back to me ? " " Evie , don't leave me … I know I was wrong ! " " Evie , I missed you so damn much … " " Evie , I love you , do you know that ? " " Evie … it's always been you . Just you . " He repeated her name again and again . The next morning , Callum shot up in bed , stone - cold sober . His entire body ached , and his eyes burned like hell . He stumbled out of the bedroom , only to find Mason passed out on the couch . He kicked his friend awake . Mason groaned , squinting up at him . " Seriously ? After the night I had carrying your crying drunk ass back here ? You were wailing about Evie for hours . You know who had to clean that up ? It's Me ! " Callum ignored him . " Did you look into what I asked you about ? " Mason perked up immediately . " Now that , I've got . " " See what your precious ' white moonlight ' has been up to . " He tossed a thick folder onto the coffee table . Callum flipped it open . Page by page , his face darkened - shifting from confusion to disbelief to outright rage . With a vicious snap , he slammed the folder shut and hurled it across the room . " She lied to me . All these years … she lied . " His voice was pure ice . " The kidnapping was fake . The imprisonment - fake . Those years abroad ? She was living it up in Europe . " Mason's expression turned grim . " Yeah . Word is , Estelle faked it all . The Moore family was collapsing financially , and they wanted her to marry some rich , disabled heir to save themselves . So she ran . " " Ran to Europe and started cozying up to every wealthy man she could find . And now that you've inherited the Rivers fortune , she smells money and comes crawling back . " Callum clenched his jaw . Mason continued , " Let's be honest . Ten years ago , she ditched you because your family had lost everything . She didn't want to be the girl who bailed on the golden boy , so she played the victim . That guilt's been eating you alive ever since . " Callum's eyes burned with fury . He ground his heel into the folder like he wanted to erase it from existence . " What about since she came back ? Do we have anything on that ? " Chapter 14 20.69 % 01 動 Chapter 14
