Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Eva’s Confession Before the World

~Third- POV~

She had come to tell him that she was leaving the modeling industry and relocating overseas, walking away from the life she had built for herself.

But why was she leaving everything behind? Was it really that difficult for her to face what had happened? he wondered.

Frederick didn’t reply to the message. He locked his phone, placed it face-down on the nightstand, and pushed the thoughts aside before closing his eyes and allowing sleep to take over.

The next morning, soft sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of the master suite. After the long journey the previous day, they had both slept well into the morning. Frederick was the first to wake. He lay on his side, quietly watching the steady rise and fall of Reynold’s chest.

A fond smile touched his lips. He leaned closer, scattering soft kisses along Reynold’s jaw and down his neck before finally reaching his lips. He lingered there until Reynold let out a quiet moan and slowly blinked his eyes open.

Frederick smiled warmly, hovering over him. "Good morning, baby."

"Good morning, my love," Reynold murmured, his voice thick with sleep as a small smile spread across his face.

"How did you sleep?" Frederick asked, brushing a stray lock of hair away from his forehead.

"Great," Reynold replied sleepily, stretching his legs beneath the duvet before pulling Frederick closer. "Because I slept right in your arms."

Frederick chuckled and pressed a lingering kiss to the top of his head.

They remained tangled together in the plush bed, exchanging quiet kisses and enjoying a few moments of light conversation. But their peaceful morning was interrupted when Frederick’s phone on the nightstand began vibrating repeatedly.

Frederick glanced at the screen and saw his manager’s name. He looked down at Reynold.

"Baby, just a minute. I need to take this call."

"Alright," Reynold replied, settling his head back against Frederick’s chest.

Frederick answered without getting out of bed.

"Hello, sir," his manager greeted him, his voice tight with urgency.

"What is it?" Frederick asked.

"I’m calling to inform you that Miss Eva has just released an official video interview, and it’s already gone live nationwide. I’ve sent you the link. You need to watch it right away, sir, so we can assess the situation and determine whether any action needs to be taken."

Frederick’s brows furrowed in surprise. "Eva gave an interview?"

"Yes, sir. I’ve sent the link to your phone. You can open it directly to watch the interview."

"Alright. Thank you," Frederick replied before ending the call.

For several seconds, he remained still, staring at his phone without saying a word.

Reynold lifted his head, sensing the sudden change in his mood. "Is everything okay, babe?"

Frederick looked down at him, his expression serious. "My manager said Eva has just given an interview, and the video has been released nationwide."

Reynold eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected Eva to give an interview so soon.

"She did? I wasn’t expecting that. Let’s watch it, babe. I want to hear what she has to say."

Frederick tapped the link his manager had sent. A video opened on his screen. He adjusted the phone so Reynold could watch with him, their shoulders pressed together as the footage began to play.

The video opened with Eva seated in a quiet, minimalist studio. She wore a simple, modest dark blazer, without her usual flashy high-fashion makeup. Her expression was composed but visibly solemn as she faced the interviewer.

Interviewer: "Eva, your name has been at the center of several headlines recently, particularly following Frederick Corvin’s recent interview. There have also been reports circulating about your daughter and your past. Would you like to address those reports?"

Eva: "Yes. I think it’s important that I address the situation honestly and take responsibility for my actions. First, I want to confirm that the reports about my daughter are true. I gave birth to her when I was sixteen years old. When she was just five months old, I made the decision to leave her behind and pursue my career in modeling. I walked away, and I never returned to raise her or be a mother to her."

Eva paused, her eyes glistening slightly under the studio lights, though she maintained her composure.

Eva: "I was very young, naive, and selfish. I was so focused on my ambition that I failed to consider the consequences of my actions. But being young doesn’t excuse what I did. I deeply regret that decision. I’m not here to ask the public for sympathy or to make excuses for myself. I was wrong, and I accept full responsibility for the choices I made."

Reynold stared at the screen, his mouth slightly parted in shock. He had expected Eva to offer a defensive explanation or some carefully prepared PR statement, not such a direct confession.

Interviewer: "You also mentioned Frederick Corvin. In his recent interview, he spoke about your past relationship and some of the things that happened between you. Do you have anything you’d like to say about that?"

Eva: "I do. I lost Frederick after years of him standing by me and trying to win my heart, simply because I took him for granted. I failed to appreciate what I had until it was gone. That is something I deeply regret, and I know I have no one to blame but myself."

She took another breath, her expression growing more serious.

Interviewer: "There is another matter that has attracted considerable attention. A video circulated online some time ago, making serious allegations about Mr. Reynold Blake. During his recent interview, Frederick confirmed that the allegations were false and suggested that you might have been involved in the leak. Can you clarify your role in what happened?"

Eva: "Yes. I owe Mr. Reynold Blake a public and formal apology. The video that circulated online, which falsely suggested that he had been involved with multiple men, was deliberately leaked by me. I was responsible for it. I acted out of bitterness and jealousy, but that doesn’t justify what I did. I knowingly allowed false information to damage his reputation, and I take full responsibility for my actions. Reynold did not deserve any of it. If he’s watching this, I sincerely hope that one day he can find it in his heart to forgive me."

Reynold’s breath caught in his throat. He sat up straight on the bed, staring at the screen in utter disbelief. He couldn’t process the fact that the proud, untouchable global supermodel was publicly admitting to leaking the video and clearing his name on national television.

Interviewer: "And finally, what does the future hold for you? There have also been reports that you’re stepping away from modeling."

Eva: "That’s true. To everyone who supported my career and now feels disappointed in me, I’m truly sorry. I’ve decided to step away from the modeling industry entirely. I need time to reflect on my actions, take responsibility for the harm I’ve caused, and try to make amends where I can. I know an apology won’t undo what I’ve done, but I hope my actions moving forward will show that I’m serious about changing. That’s all I have to say."

Interviewer: "Thank you for taking the time to address these issues and share your side of the story."

Eva gave a slight nod. "Thank you for having me."

The video ended, and the screen went black.

Frederick lay motionless, his mind racing as he tried to process everything he had just heard. Beside him, Reynold remained completely stunned, struggling to believe that Eva had publicly taken responsibility, cleared his name, and apologized to him in front of the entire country.

Before either of them could speak, a firm knock sounded at their bedroom door.

"Good morning, sir," the head maid called from outside. "A package from Miss Eva has just been delivered for you."
