**Title: Secret Lover 189**
**She is A Troublemaker!**
“Why do you seem so shy?” Axel said with a teasing lilt, his voice soft yet yful. “He knows you’re my wife, so there’s really no need for you to feel awkward or embarrassed about it.”
Evelyn opened her mouth, ready to retort, but before she could articte a single word, his lips were on hers once more.
This kiss was different—yful yet possessive, igniting a spark that left her feeling utterly light-headed.
When he finally pulled away, she inhaled sharply, her cheeks flushed with a warmth that was hard to ignore.
“You look absolutely stunning in that gown, Eve,” he remarked, his eyes glinting with admiration.
With that, he leaned back in his seat, adjusting his suit as if nothing had just transpired, as if he hadn’t just stolen her breath away.
Evelyn chose to ignore him, focusing instead on calming the heat that surged through her cheeks.
For a brief moment, the air between them was filled with silence—heavy yetfortable, like a soft nket enveloping them.
However, her expression shifted as an unexpected thought entered her mind, a flicker of unease dancing in her gaze.
She turned to him, her voice barely above a whisper. “Axel…” she began tentatively, “Natalie Martinez… is she your ex?”
In an instant, the yful glimmer in his eyes vanished. His hand froze mid-motion, and his gaze shifted to meet hers, the warmth that had previously filled the car dissipating, reced by a palpable tension.
Evelyn held his stare, her resolve firm.
She wanted to convince herself that it didn’t matter.
She wanted to act as if her inquiry stemmed from mere curiosity.
But her racing heartbeat betrayed her, quick and anxious, echoing in the quiet hum of the car’s interior.
Axel took his time answering.
The city lights outside cast shadows across his face, obscuring his thoughts behind calm eyes that now appeared almost distant.
She inhaled deeply, a barely-there smile flickering on her lips as she began, “I’m sorry if my—”
But her words were cut short as Axel interjected.
“No, she is not,” he stated firmly, his voice steady yet gentle. “I didn’t know her personally.”
Evelyn didn’t press further; instead, she nodded and turned her gaze towards the window, allowing the cool city lights to blur past her.
She had no desire to revisit that woman again. If Axel didn’t seem to know her, then it was likely nothing significant.
Perhaps Natalie Martinez was merely one of those women who admired him from a distance… and he certainly had his fair share of admirers, whether he weed them or not.
Axel remained quiet for a moment, his eyes fixed on her profile.
The subtle pout of her lips, the way her eyes avoided his gaze, made a small smile tug at his lips.
Then, without warning, he asked, “Why do you ask? Are you feeling jealous of her?”
Evelyn whipped her head around, her eyes wide with surprise.
“No! Should I be jealous of her? So far, I don’t see any reason to be,” she replied, her tone steady, though he could detect a hint of defensiveness beneath the surface.
He chose not toment on her tone, merely tilting his head slightly, amusement dancing in his eyes. That look—one that suggested he didn’t fully believe her—irritated her to no end.
Evelyn sighed, finally relenting.
“Fine,” she muttered, shaking her head slightly. “It’s just… she stopped me before I left the building. That Natalie woman. She called my name out of nowhere.”
Axel’s rxed demeanor shifted instantly, his interest piqued. “What did she say?”
“Nothing that concerns me,” Evelyn replied, though her tone revealed her unease. “At first, she appeared calm—polite even. But her tone… I recognize that kind of tone.”
She frowned, recalling the encounter vividly.
“It felt off. I could sense her annoyance with me, even though I don’t know her at all. Anyway, she just asked for a few minutes to talk, and I told her I didn’t have time.”
“Did she threaten you?” Axel asked, his voice dropping an octave, the seriousness of the situation creeping in.
“No, not directly. But it felt… strange. Like she was trying to provoke me or something,” Evelyn admitted, ncing out the window again, her voice now barely above a whisper. “I don’t like her. Her eyes didn’t seem friendly.”
Axel leaned closer, gently taking her hand in his, squeezing it to draw her gaze back to him.
A smile crept onto his lips when he saw her calm expression, though her eyes told a different story.
“You’re overthinking it, Eve. She’s probably just jealous of you,” he reassured her, his voice light.
Evelyn chuckled softly, “Well, that’s what Jack and Jo say to me.”
He offered a small, knowing smile.
“Indeed. Jackson and Joseph would say the same thing. You were sitting next to me all night. For someone like her, that’s enough to spark some drama. But honestly, she’s not worth the mental energy.”
Evelyn remained unconvinced but chose not to argue further. Perhaps he was right. Women like Natalie were everywhere—graceful on the surface but often shallow and rude beneath.
“You’re right,” she murmured, “Let’s just forget it.”
“Good idea,” Axel replied softly, his eyes warm.
She returned his smile, though a part of her still felt that nagging unease.
Fortunately, he didn’t mention Natalie again for the remainder of their drive.
By the time they arrived home, the hour waste.
The house stood quiet, softly illuminated by the garden lights, creating a serene atmosphere.
Evelyn headed straight for the bedroom, relieved to finally shed her gown and wash away the remnants of her makeup.
Axel, however, didn’t follow her. He watched her disappear into the bathroom, then loosened his tie and made his way to his home office.
His steps were silent, yet his mind was anything but calm.
Once the door clicked shut behind him, he picked up his phone and dialed Collins.
The line rang a few times before the man answered.
“Boss? It’ste. Please tell me you’re not still working?”
Axel settled onto the leather sofa, his demeanor serious.
“Keep a close watch on Natalie Martinez,” he instructed tly, disregarding the earlier question.
There was a brief silence on the other end.
“Wait, what? That woman?” Collins’ tone sharpened. “Boss, she’s a troublemaker. Why the sudden interest in tracking her?”
Axel leaned back, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“She approached Evelyn tonight. I’m not sure what her intentions are, but I can sense something malicious. I want to know everything about her—who she’s been speaking to, where she goes, and what she’s nning in theing days. Don’t overlook anything.”
“Understood.” Collins sighed heavily, muttering, “That woman is a handful, though. I’ve had inquiries about her before. On the surface, her reputation seems clean, but a closer look reveals a different story…”
Axel’s brow furrowed. “Go on.”
