Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)
Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Jack bombarded me with messages when i didn't answer the calls.

Jack: "Evelyn, how dare you secretly record ne! I'm warning you. If you even think about leaking that video, I'll ensure your grandmother pays for it!"

Jack: "Ungrateful brat! I raised you and ted you, and this is how you repay me? By threatening me?"

Jack "You're a traitor! How did I ever end up with a child like you?"

Each message popped up one after another, and I read every single one word for word. Jack was nothing more than a man lashing out in impotent rage now. With a cold expression, I tapped the top comer of the screen and blocked him on WhatsApp.

Silence retumed

I knew that by the time lan found Jack, he would already be aware that Leah had been arrested.

If lan decided to step in. I wasn't sure if Leah would still face jail time. And I didn't know if Jack would become so desperate that he'd truly harm Grandma. 1 was terrified, but I had no other choice.

i didn't want to keep living under Jack's threats and refused to bow to him. The only thing I could do was take a gamble and wait for Liam's next update. The stress of the past few days, combined with not having eaten properly, caused a sharp pain to shoot through my stomach.

I sat down on the couch, waiting for the pain to subside. After a few minutes, it eased slightly-

Worried that my body might fail me at a critical moment, I ordered some basic medications on Uber Eats and added a food order.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. I got up to answer it and found Ethan standing outside the door.

He looked at me with those deep, unreadable eyes. "Why can't you just listen?"

I didn't want to say a word to him. I raised my hand to shut the door.

But Erhan moved fast. He wedged his foot in the doorframe, slipping inside in an instant, pinning me against the wall

"Let go of me, Ethan!" I struggled to push him away. "Let go of me, or I'll sue you for trespassing-"

Before I could finish, Ethan grabbed my chin and kissed me. I wasn't prepared, freezing for a moment as his lips aggressively claimed mine.

I fought hard, but our difference in strength was too great. There was no way I could push him off.

"You bastard' I tried to scream, but the words came out as muffled protests.

Suddenly, I remembered something. In a panic, I threw a punch at his abdomen

Ethan groaned in pain, fmally loosening his grip on me

Thad put all my strength into that punch. As I watched lam pale with pain, I felt not even a shred of sympathy

Do you hate me that much, Eve?" Ethan looked down at me, his face twisted in pain, yet his presence was still overwhelming.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. "Served you right, Ethan."

Glancing at his abdomen, I noticed the bandages beneath his shirt were stained with fresh blood.

Topened the door fully. "Leave now, or I'll call the police and have you locked up alongside Leah.

As soon as I said it, I couldn't help but laugh h. "Is that why you're here, Ethan? To settle the score because I got Leah arrested?"

I stepped closer to him, forting him to back away. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but the words nevercame out.

1 had no patience left. My words became sharper with every breath. "Aren't you disgusted with yourself? You and Leah played me like a fool, Was it fun?

"Why are you always so self-righteous? Do you even know what your family has done?

"Echan, 1 don't ever want to see you again."

With that, I showed him out the door.

He stubbornly held the door frame. "Eve, can't you trust me just once?

I slammed the door shut with all my strength, and Ethan reacted quiddy, avoiding getting his hand caught in the frame just in time.

I slowly walked back to the couch, collapsing onto it, utterly drained.

"Grandma, I miss you. I'm so tired. They're all bullying me.
