The car came to a screeching halt as he stepped out of the car and slammed his door shut with such force that she jumped on her seat.Axel rounded the hood and came to her side. He grabbed the door handle and she locked it just when he tried to open the door.His jaw clenched as he grabbed the keys but she removed the seatbelt and hurried to the driver seat, she opened the door. Jumping out of the car. Evelyn made a blind dash towards the rugged road but a car approaching from the front had her freezing on her spot.The flashlights went off as Rory stepped out and then he yanked Joshua out. "Josh!" Before she could run to him Axel grabbed her wrist in a tight grip and started to drag her into the same warehouse where they had beaten Joshua.Her heart fell into the pit of her stomach as she struggled and tried to free her wrist, slamming her tiny punches on his arm but to no avail.Her eyes widened when she found a guy tied to the chair. His mouth was covered with tape and he was cryin
Her eyelids felt as if tons of weight were placed on them. Her whole body ached but her head throbbed painfully. A muffled groan left her lips as she rubbed her forehead and then her fingers massaged her temple to ease the pain. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked twice to clear the blurry vision. Her brows furrowed and her eyes widened slightly when she saw her reflection in the mirror that was on the ceiling. What was this place? She touched the silk sheets under her and then like a thunderbolt everything came back as the memories flashed in her head like a reel and tears gathered in her eyes. Evelyn sprang up from the bed only to stumble because of the dizziness, she winced as her head pounded. She noticed the cool tiled floor under her and her eyes swept around. She barely registered the King sized bed and the gray walls before she noticed the door. Without thinking much she dashed towards the door and to her relief, it was unlocked. Stepping out she was greeted by the vast
Evelyn stared at him horrified and shook her head lightly. Her quivering lips were sealed tightly. She noticed how his gaze darkened and her eyes fluttered down in fear. The bouncing of her knee intensified and it was not in her control anymore. "Y...you said you'll l...let me go if my brother agrees to take the blame for the m...murder," she stuttered and he tilted his head. "I said that?" He asked, confused and sweat broke on her forehead in such cold weather. She nodded her head while peeking at him through her lashes. She was scared. She just wanted to get out of there and save her brother. "And you thought I'll do exactly what I say?" He asked amused as he intertwined his fingers, his elbows resting on his thigh as he leaned forward and she shrank back on the sofa, hoping she could disappear in thin air. "I don't play fair, Evelyn." He mused while looking at her bouncing knee which she was gripping tightly to stop the bounce but it seemed like it wasn't in her control. "You
Maxwell was at her door in the afternoon as he escorted her to one of the best salons. The beautician over there was already informed about Evelyn's arrival as Axel has booked a slot for her. She had already showered as they got to her makeup. Then she was handed her dress by the staff as she changed in the changing room. Evelyn asked for help as a girl helped in securing the hooks on her back. When she stepped out the staff was all gaping at her in awe. "You look gorgeous. No wonder Mr. Knight chose you as his wife," the beautician said as Eveyln just kept staring at the floor as they set the veil on her head. She hasn't even looked at her reflection once in the mirror. She wasn't happy. Her heart was crying in agony. She never thought about marriage but she has dreams of marrying a guy whom she loves. Just like the novels she had read. She wanted to marry a normal guy who has a decent job and a small house and he must especially love her a lot but never in her life had she th
Evelyn let out a shuddering breath before she stopped breathing. Her panicked eyes gazed at him as he inched closer.She noticed how his eyes glided down to her lips before meeting her gaze again.This wasn't good.She didn't want to give him her first kiss. But the mere thought of it was absurd. She was going to marry this man. He might want to do a lot more sinful things just than a mere kiss.But she won't allow it. Sweat broke on her forehead when she felt his hot breath fanning her lips. She was aware of the cameras that were clicking their photos. Just when his lips brushed hers, she tilted her head slightly so that his lips landed on the corner of her mouth.A jolt of current ran down her spine feeling his soft lips on
Evelyn hesitated before taking two steps toward him but still, she was three steps away from him."I'm not going to kill you," He muttered, annoyed.It felt like a threat coming from a man who has turned her life upside down.She didn't move an inch from her place. There was no one in the big silent mansion. Her heart was pounding in her ears because she was scared of what was to come."Go to the second last room on the second floor," He said.Her hesitant eyes glanced at him as her feet refused to move. She didn't want to share a room with him."The f*ck you waiting for?" He snapped, causing her to flinch as she scurried to the stairs. She slowly ascended the stairs all the while
After what felt like an eternity she heard his footsteps leaving the room and the door closed shut. She hurried out of the room and locked the door before taking a deep breath.Getting rid of her dress, she removed all the pins from her hair as she stood under the shower, the warm water cascading down her body.The restroom was luxurious and beautiful. There was also a bathtub there. But she wasn't happy. No matter how beautiful or alluring the cage was, in the end, it was just a cage.After a relaxing shower. She dried her body and wore her clothes. Stepping out of the restroom she was glad to find it empty. Though she had locked the door. But she was still wary of him. Drying her hair with the towel she picked up the wedding dress and folded it neatly though her heart wanted to rip it apart.
"Mr. Knight, we are just introducing ourselves to Ma'am," Parco said.Evelyn noticed how all of them stopped smiling and had serious faces."What are you doing, wife?" His deep voice near her ear had her flinching as she moved back to look at him with her cheek full.She hurriedly munched and gulped the food down, and all the while he kept looking at her. One of his hands rested on the counter as he caged her from one side with his body."Breakfast," she mumbled in a small voice.She noticed that he was wearing a crisp black button-down shirt with black slacks. His hair was combed back neatly and he was also wearing a tie along with a silver wristwatch. She thought he went to work. Why was he still there?
