Chapter 10 — Losing control
Raphael’s POV
The room still carried Evelyn’s scent. It was soft, sweet, and dangerously calming.
I sat alone on the couch after she left, staring blankly at the half-open bathroom door while irritation clawed slowly beneath my skin.
Annabelle noticed it immediately.
“You’re quiet,” she said casually as she slipped into one of my shirts.
I ignored her. But that only made her smirk wider.
“You scared the poor girl.”
At that, my jaw tightened slightly “She entered my chamber without permission.”
Annabelle shrugged carelessly. “She looked terrified enough already.”
I said nothing. Because the truth was….I had not expected Evelyn to look at me like that.
Those wide frightened eyes, the trembling voice, and the tears she tried desperately to hold back.
