Chapter 306
Alas, work was work, and Evangeline was like family to her. Roslyn could not just focus on work and leave her friend when she needed help, right?
"Time? I've got loads," blurted Evangeline without a second thought. "I've wrapped up all the company stuff, and I'm officially on vacation."
In a private matter, if Roslyn had not come to her with this, Evangeline would have been climbing the walls out of sheer boredom. Seriously, if she had to spend one more day stuck in this villa, she would go stir-crazy. Writing songs needed her to be totally peaceful Inside, and what better way to forget about the drama with Walter than to dive into a new project?
"That's just awesome!" Roslyn was over the moon, buzzing with excitement as she hashed out the plans for her upcoming album with her manager. Dropping a new album was a huge deal for any singer, and that night, Roslyn was scooped up my her manager to get the ball rolling.
After a heartfelt farewell to Roslyn, who was clearly bummed to leave, Evangeline zipped up her jacket
and headed upstairs.
It had been ages since she last penned a tune. Taking on Roslyn's task was the perfect excuse to get back into her groove.
Up in her room, which was decked out like something out of a fairy tale, Evangeline plopped down on the bed but quickly slid open her nightstand drawer. She pulled out a velvet box that was gathering dust.
With a gentle lift of the lid, an old violin with chipped paint greeted her. This was not just any violin-it was a relic, a piece of her very identity.
The violin once belonged to the legendary Loberni, a virtuoso who also happened to be Evangeline's
mentor.
Loberni's face, with his friendly beard and the serene vibe of a true artist, popped into her head.
His insane talent for music had made him a standout in his day, but it was his deep understanding of music and his masterful playing that earned him the title of 'prodigy.' When Loberni bowed out of the limelight, he handed this violin to her.
It was clear as day why he did it. He wanted Evangeline to carry on his legacy, to shine in the music world just like she was taking the baton-or in this case, the violin-from him.
Evangeline had come back from school with her head full of dreams, but somehow, all she could think about was Walter. The violin, once her closest companion, lay forgotten until this day. Something she could not quite explain nudged her to open the case and run her fingers over the strings, tuning them with a gentle touch.
She missed her teacher so much.

She missed Loberni's kind voice and the weight of his sigh when he entrusted her with the violin.
A sad smile flickered across Evangeline's face, as fleeting as a dying fily. She felt guilty for letting down the one man who believed in her, all because of a silly crush.
She lifted the violin to her shoulder, her movements as fluid as ever. The notes that filled the room were sweet but tinged with sadness, each one a reflection of Evangeline's heavy heart. Music would always tell the story of its player's soul.
As Evangeline played, lost in the melody, she could not shake the image of Walter's face or the sting of that humiliating moment in the car, which seemed to dance with the music in the air...
She was so wrapped up in her world that she did not notice the figure who had silently made his way to her room. He followed the haunting sound to Evangeline's door and stood there, not wanting to break the spell, just watching her lose h
