Chapter 34: Don’t Touch My Husband
"That woman is such a pain in—" Damien controlled his anger and mellowed his tone since Evelyn was also present.
Zevian’s fist curled up, anger blazing through his eyes. He was ready to tolerate all Sabrina’s whines as long as she didn’t bring his daughter into their feud. But now that she had, he wasn’t going to let her off easily.
"Prepare the team," he ordered John, his voice tense with fury, causing everyone in the room to stiffen. Even Damien realized his friend was losing control and that such a disaster must be prevented. The devil inside Zevian needed to stay dormant for everyone’s safety.
Zevian brushed past Damien, who tried to hold him back, but luckily Evelyn intervened. "No, wait!" She grabbed his hand, causing him to turn around and glare at her.
"Breathe!" Evelyn demanded, her hand clutching onto his wrist tightly.
"Leave me! We don’t have time to be saints now, Evelyn!" Zevian glowered, his eyes intimidatingly cold—an expression Evelyn rarely saw.
Instead of being affected by his dark aura, Evelyn moved closer to him. When he tried to pull away, she placed her free hand on his heart and caressed it gently. "Breathe, Zevian!"
Everyone watched the intimate scene with surprise written all over their faces. When Zevian finally gave up and exhaled, closing his eyes, Damien stood with his mouth slightly open. This woman truly deserved to be his wife.
"Use your brain, not anger, Zevian. She is using the judiciary, and we must go the same route. Harming anyone would only push Kiana further away from us," Evelyn stated, her worried look underscoring the sense in her words.
Zevian looked at her, lost and on the verge of losing control. Evelyn’s heart ached to see tears almost forming in the corners of his eyes. He truly loved his daughter, and they would make sure to win Kiana’s custody.
"Are you close to any of the judges?" Evelyn asked, figuring out the best way out of this situation. When Zevian nodded, she subtly smiled.
