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?
Her eyes widened as she gasped cupping her mouth and instantly stood up to her feet. She watched as he glowered down at the crumpled piece of paper. Getting inside he shut the door close before picking it up. He smoothened the paper and stared at their wedding picture on the front page. His brow cocked up as he darted a glance at her. She gulped, lowering her gaze while fisting the hem of her shirt. "So angry," He muttered, casually tossing the paper away as he strolled over to her. "Don't tell me you didn't know who I was. I'm pretty sure you agreed to the wedding because you knew I'm rich," He said nonchalantly and her eyes widened at his ridiculous statement. "You've forced me!" She snapped at him. She poked her index
A month passed and there was no sign of Axel. Mia informs her that he has gone abroad because of some business but Ela said that his best friend Daniel got injured because of an accident which was why Axel went there.Evelyn didn't know what was the truth nor was she interested in it. All she felt was a tiny bit of freedom because of his absence. No one bothers her. A daily routine was set up for her.She goes to work every day and spending some time with Susan and Mrs. Smith keeps her sane.Evelyn has also gone to a police station in search of Josh. She has got some information and she also gave an application to let her meet her brother for once.Today was the day she could finally meet Josh. She was happy and nervous as the officer accompanied her inside t
"You like sandwiches a lot. I know at least ten different recipes for sandwiches, if you want we can make it together." Mia asked, wagging her brows."Sure, let's make your favorite one," Evelyn said and both the girls made sandwiches. They also made extra for Parco and Ela."Let's have dinner in the backyard," Mia suggested and Evelyn looked at her a little hesitant."I'm not sure," She said and Mia waved her hand. "No worries, we'll have dinner near our quarters and then come back inside," She stated and Evelyn agreed as they took the food to the garden near the quarters. Mia went back inside to get Ela and Parco. Evelyn gazed around in awe. She has never wandered around much as Axel demanded of her but she didn't know the backyard was so beautiful with so many colorful flowers around.The dark inky sky was like a smooth velvet coated with sparkling stars and an elegantly shining moon. This could be a perfect spot for her to kill time. They scrambled to Evelyn as the four of them
