Chapter 57

• *EVELYN’S POV*
• As I stood in front of the mirror, I took a moment to appreciate the reflection that stared back at me. I was dressed in a stunning, floor-length gown that shimmered with every movement. The fabric, a deep midnight blue, seemed to capture the light and reflect it in a dazzling array of hues. The gown hugged my figure elegantly, flaring out just enough to give a sense of grace and poise. My hair was styled in loose waves that cascaded over my shoulders, and a delicate silver necklace adorned my neckline, completing the look.
• Just as I was adjusting a stray lock of hair, my phone buzzed on the dresser. I glanced at the screen and saw Lucas's name. Smiling, I answered the call.
