**TITLE: Secret Lover 202**
**What Do You Want This Time?**
William Walters raised an eyebrow, a flicker of bewilderment passing through his icy gaze as he scrutinized her.
Evelyn couldn’t help but notice the way his face flushed, a deep crimson creeping up his neck.
For a fleeting second, she envisioned wisps of smoke spiraling from his ears, an absurd image that nearly made her burst into laughter. Instead, she stifled the urge, relishing the moment of tension that hung thick in the air.
“You mean after everything you’ve done?” she pressed on, her voice sharp yet composed, cutting through the silence. “You really believe I’m oblivious to why you brought them into this mess? Did you honestly think I would come running the moment you used them as bait?”
William’s jaw tightened, a muscle twitching as he struggled to maintain his composure.
“You’re still as audacious as ever. After all these years, you’ve learned nothing,” he retorted, his voice laced with disdain.
Evelyn took her time responding, deliberately closing the distance between them.
Now, only a coffee table stood between them, a barrier that felt more symbolic than physical.
Alicia and Stella lingered a few steps away, their faces pale and frozen, as if fear had encased them in ice.
Evelyn’s gaze remained locked on William, unwavering and cold, a stark contrast to the warmth of the room.
“Oh, I’ve learned plenty,” she replied softly, her words dripping with meaning. “I’ve learned that some men are so consumed by their mistresses that they forget what it means to be decent. And I’ve learned that some fathers truly don’t deserve the title.”
Rather than erupt in rage, William’s laughter erupted suddenly, harsh and grating, filling the room with a chilling atmosphere.
“Bwahahaha… Eve, Eve,” he chortled between fits of laughter, “you haven’t changed one bit.”
He sauntered over to the single sofa, settling into it with an air of superiority, crossing one leg over the other as if he were a monarch about to impart wisdom to a wayward subject.
His chin tilted upward, eyes glinting with mockery as he regarded her.
“You’re so obstinate and arrogant. Just because you hold a few shares in the Walters Group, you think you can wield power over me?”
Evelyn’s expression remained unchanged, her calm smile returning, though her eyes burned with a quiet intensity.
Before she could respond, Stella’s voice cut through the charged air.
“Sister, please… don’t provoke him. He might—”
Evelyn turned her head slightly to meet her sister’s tear-filled gaze. For just a heartbeat, her tone softened. “It’s alright,” she murmured, before snapping her attention back to William, her demeanor sharpening like a blade.
“Let them go,” she commanded, her voice icy and authoritative. “Whatever twisted game you think this is, it ends here.”
William chuckled again, but this time, there was no trace of humor. His eyes sparkled with malice.
“You really think you can just waltz in here and dictate terms to me?”
Evelyn’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Try me.”
A heavy silence enveloped the room.
Even the six bodyguards shifted uncomfortably, their eyes flitting between William and Evelyn, as if awaiting a signal to spring into action.
The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly tense.
Evelyn held her ground, her gaze unwavering against her father’s. The years of pain, rejection, and simmering anger no longer weakened her; they ignited a fierce determination within her.
Finally, William shattered the silence, a slow, cruel smirk spreading across his face.
“Eve, sit,” he commanded, his voice low and edged with authority. He then turned his glare toward Stella and Alicia. “You two, sit as well! And don’t utter a word. Just listen.”
Evelyn raised an eyebrow but remained standing, arms loosely crossed, chin lifted in quiet defiance.
The air grew heavier, the unspoken battle between father and daughter tightening around them like a noose.
In that moment, it became clear to everyone that Evelyn was no longer the frightened girl who had once been thrown out of this house.
She had returned, stronger, sharper, and ready to confront the devil himself.
William Walters could see the fire burning in her eyes. Frustration gnawed at him, and he snapped, “We won’t settle anything if you don’t sit!”
Evelyn offered a slight smile, feigning contemplation over his demand.
“Fine,” she replied at last, her tone dry and measured. “Let’s indulge the royal court in its formality.” She lowered herself into a chair not far from Stella and Alicia.
Stella and Alicia exchanged panicked glances, their wide eyes and subtle gestures screaming, “Don’t push him!”
Evelyn caught their worried looks but chose to ignore them.
Her ex-father wanted a show? She would give him one.
“Mr. Walters,” she emphasized his last name deliberately. “It’s been ages since I’ve had the honor of sitting in this family room with you. So, please, enlighten me. What do you want this time? Why the theatrics with Stella and Alicia?”
The air thickened, charged with anticipation.
William Walters’ jaw twitched, as if he were on the verge of spilling his thoughts, but no words escaped his lips.
Instead, he raised his hand sharply.
One of the bodyguards—a towering, bald man whose shoulders resembled those of a side-by-side refrigerator—stepped forward.
Evelyn’s eyes narrowed, assessing the situation.
Beside the doorway, Lisa shifted, her hand brushing the inside of her blazer where her weapon was holstered. Evelyn raised her hand slightly, signaling her to hold off.
‘Not yet,’ she thought. ‘Let’s see what kind of circus my father wants to stage before taking action.’
The bald man placed a stack of neatly arranged documents on the coffee table before her.
He stepped back, remaining close enough to spring into action if needed.
Evelyn didn’t touch the papers. Instead, she glanced at them, then back at William Walters, silently asking, “What’s next?”
William smirked, the corners of his lips twitching upward in that infuriating way she had come to detest.
“There are two agreements there,” he revealed. “First, you drop the lawsuit against Lana. And second, you will reinstate me as CEO of Walters Group.”
A heavy silence fell over the room.
Evelyn blinked, leaning back in her chair, folding her arms as she replied slowly,
“That’s it?”
William frowned, clearly taken aback by her calm reaction. “What do you mean, ‘that’s it’?”
“Oh, I just thought you might ask for something more imaginative. Perhaps I could sell my soul or name my next child after your mistress.”
A soft chuckle escaped Stella’s lips before she quickly covered her mouth, while Alicia stifled her laughter, pressing her lips together tightly.
William’s face, however, transformed into a shade of deep crimson, the exact color of ripe tomatoes.
“YOU!” He slammed his hand on the table, the sound reverberating through the room. “You think this is amusing?”
In this climactic confrontation, Evelyn emerges not just as a daughter confronting her estranged father, but as a formidable force in her own right. The years of pain and rejection have forged her into a woman of resilience, ready to dismantle the power dynamics that William has wielded for far too long.
