    **TITLE: Secret Lover 199**


    Days had slipped by since Axel’s visit to his parents’ home, yet not a single word had escaped his lips regarding that encounter.


    Not even the faintest hint.


    Evelyn, despite the gnawing curiosity that tugged at her, chose not to press him. She understood Axel well enough to know that he would share his thoughts when he felt the time was right, when he believed she could bear the weight of the truth.


    Yet, a part of her was acutely aware that whatever had transpired during that meeting had revolved around her.


    It always did.


    She could sense the unspoken judgments the Knights held regarding their marriage, just as her own father had his opinions. The mere thought of it sent a tightness through her chest, a wave of anxiety that she tried to suppress.


    But she refused to dwell on it.


    That weekend, Evelyn made a conscious choice to embrace tranquility rather than turmoil.


    With her husband and son by her side, she spent two blissful days at home and in their mountain cabin, reveling in the clear, crisp autumn skies that stretched endlessly above them.


    As a family, they indulged in a myriad of activities…


    Axel had taken Oliver on a horseback ride, expertly guiding the reins while their son erupted withughter, his little hands gripping tightly to his father.


    Evelyn stood a few feet away, her phone in hand, capturing the joyous scene before her. Later, they embarked on a hike to their cabin nestled in the mountains, Oliver proudly donning his tiny backpack, pretending to lead the way like a seasoned adventurer.


    When they finally reached the summit, Axel hoisted Oliver into the air, dering, “The explorer conquers another mountain!”


    It was a serene, beautiful weekend.


    The kind that allowed her to momentarily forget that the world outside still whispered about them.


    By Monday morning, life resumed its familiar rhythm.


    As was customary, Evelyn walked Axel to the car, her eyes glued to him. He looked striking in his charcoal suit, effortlessly exuding sharpness and charm as always.


    He turned to her, shing that easy, disarming smile of his. “What’s on your agenda today?”


    “Hmm… I’ll probably venture out for a bit. I need to pick up a few things,” she replied, trying to sound casual.


    “Out?” His tone was more yful than concerned. “Shopping?”


    Evelyn nodded, a smirk ying on her lips. “Yes. Don’t look so shocked. I’m still human, you know. I do normal things.”


    He chuckled softly, amusement dancing in his eyes. “I didn’t say anything. Just… make sure Ryan stays by your side, alright? And actually listen to him this time.”


    She rolled her eyes, a teasing smile breaking across her face. “You make it sound like I’m going to make headlines again today.”


    “I’m just worried because my wife is so beautiful, she could easily make headlines…” he teased back, a yful glint in his gaze.


    “I’ll be just fine, Mr. Knight. You should focus on your meetings instead of worrying about me.”


    “I always worry about you,” Axel murmured, and in that fleeting moment, the banter faded. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. “Just be careful, Eve.”


    “I will.” Her voice softened as she gazed up at him, feeling a warmth spread through her. “You should hurry before Oliveres barreling out and insists you take him on another ride with his beloved horse.”


    Axelughed, nting a gentle kiss on her forehead. “You’re right. I barely survived thest one.”


    In that moment, Liam appeared, holding the car door open. “Good morning, sir. Good morning, Lady Boss…”


    Axel turned to Liam with a faint smile. “Ready for another day of chauffeuring your old boss instead of your favorite madam?”


    Liam offered a small smile in return. “It’s tragic, sir. The inte has ruined my reputation. I can’t even hold an umbre for Lady Boss withoutizens dubbing me her secret lover.”


    Evelyn burst intoughter, the sound bright and infectious. “You’ve got yourself some fans now, Liam. No need toin.”


    “I’d much prefer a raise than a fan club,” he shot back yfully, causing Axel to chuckle as well.


    “Noted,” Axel replied, amusement evident in his tone. “Drive safely. And for the love of all things holy, don’t let my wife drag you into another wild adventure.”


    “I make no promises, sir,” Liam replied politely, a hint of mischief in his voice.


    Evelyn waved as the car rolled down the driveway, her heart fluttering with excitement. Axel hadn’t suspected a thing. Perfect.


    Her n to surprise him for his uing birthday remained intact.


    …


    At precisely ten o’clock, Evelyn leaned down to kiss Oliver goodbye.


    However, he immediately pouted, crossing his little arms defiantly. “I want toe with you, Mommy!”


    Evelyn crouched beside him, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “I’m going on a secret mission to buy Daddy a birthday present. It’s a surprise, okay? You can’t tell him or Jimmy. He might spill the beans to Daddy…”


    Oliver’s eyes widened in excitement.


    “So you’re on a secret mission?” he asked, his voice filled with awe.


    She nodded seriously, ying along. “Exactly. A top-secret mission.”


    Instantly, Oliver straightened up, nodding with determination. “Okay, Mom. But can you buy me a book, too? I want to read about knights and dragons.”


    Evelyn giggled, affectionately ruffling his hair.


    “A book, huh? It seems like you and I have simr ideas for gifts.”


    They exchanged a conspiratorial grin, whispering about their “secret ns” until Oliver promised to wait patiently at home.


    After another round of kisses and yful giggles, Evelyn finally stepped out of the house, her spirits high.


    Yet, her cheerful demeanor faltered when she reached the car waiting in the front yard.


    Ryan stood there, as always, straight and professional, but next to him stood a woman Evelyn didn’t recognize.


    She was tall, sporting cropped ck hair and a calm,posed expression. Dressed in a dark zer over a in white shirt, she certainly didn’t resemble a maid or house staff.


    Ryan stepped forward, breaking the silence.


    “Mrs. Knight, this is Lisa. She’ll be apanying you today.”


    “Apanying me?” Evelyn asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.


    “She’s part of the security team,” Ryan exined politely. “Mr. Knight wanted an extra guard for your outings, just in case.”


    Evelyn regarded Lisa, who offered her a courteous smile.


    “It’s an honor, ma’am.”


    “Oh, please, just call me Evelyn,” she replied warmly, still a bit taken aback. “Nice to meet you, Lisa.”


    Lisa nodded in acknowledgment. “It’s an honor to be your security detail, Ms. Evelyn.”


    With that, Evelyn climbed into the car, Ryan taking the driver’s seat while Lisa settled beside him.


    As they drove away from The Valley, Evelyn nced into the rearview mirror, a mix of amusement and exasperation bubbling within her. “Axel really thinks I’m that fragile, doesn’t he?” she muttered to herself.


    Ryan caught her eye in the mirror before responding, “Maybe the boss is just a bit worried, ma’am.”


    “Yes, I know…” Evelyn smiled, appreciating his loyalty.


    The car fell into afortable silence once more.


    But,


    They had barely merged onto the main road when her phone buzzed insistently from her bag. Evelyn retrieved it absentmindedly, expecting a message from Oscar or perhaps an email.


    But to her surprise, it was an iing call.


    “Ste?” she murmured, puzzled. “Why would she call me this early?”


    Without hesitation, she answered. “Ste? Are you alright? Why are you—”


    She froze mid-sentence, her heart racing as she sensed something was amiss.Conclusion
