Evelyn was silently crying sitting in the corridor as Josh was being treated in the emergency ward.Axel's men had dropped them at the front of the hospital and left. The people and the staff helped Joshua inside. The doctor won't start the treatment before the deposit. She didn't even have money to take a cab so she ran all the way to their apartment. Her legs had no energy and she felt dizzy but her brother's life was at stake.She grabbed all the savings and shoved them in her bag pack along with her phone. She got a cab and hurried to the hospital. After the payment and a few signatures on the important document, they started Joshua's treatment.She also heard the doctors discussing that the matter needed police involvement. They were about to approach her regarding this matter but then another doctor came dashing toward them and said something to them. They looked at Evelyn with scared eyes before heading into the room to treat Joshua.She was moving back and forth lightly while
"You're up. I brought porridge for you," Evelyn smiled at her brother who tried to sit up but couldn't and she was instantly on his side as she helped him to sit and set the pillow behind his back.He winced and tried to control the hiss of pain. She knew his whole body was in pain and he could barely move without her help.Joshua was unconscious for the whole night due to sedatives and painkillers. She was right beside him throughout the night and she woke up to him patting her head with two of his fingers.She couldn't stop her tears as she cried kissing the back of his hand. He had asked her if she was alright in that cracking voice. He could barely talk much but he still asked about those men in his groggy state.She told him that he should sleep for a while and that she would tell him everything once he woke up. He hesitantly obliged as she hurried home and prepared food for him according to the diet planner. They were supposed to do grocery shopping before all this but now there
The officers left without taking any statements. They even warned Joshua not to mess with Mr. Knight."Josh," She whispered in a small voice, placing her hand on his shoulder, he rubbed his face looking up at her with that stressed look on his face."Where did you go on that Saturday night?" She asked."The Black Palace restaurant," He answered."Who was your date?" "Sasha. Why are you asking this?""Nothing. Here, take your medicines and go to sleep," She said, handing him his medicines. He gulped them down but grabbed her wrist getting her attention."Where are you going?" He asked."I'm going to work. I'll be doing a full-time job at Smith's for a few days or else I'll look for another job," She said and he shook his head."No. You need to leave Evelyn. I won't be able to protect you in this condition. That bastard has links in the police department. I don't understand why he's after me and I can't let you be at risk for the time being," He was saying when his eyes widened slightl
Axel has asked Maxwell to keep an eye on the siblings. So he was aware of her every move.Axel chugged his drink down. The liquid burned his throat but he needed the liquor to stay numb or else he would kill Joshua and his sister within minutes if he lost his mind.But that wasn't the plan from the start. He was glad when he found out that f*cker has a sister. It would be easier to torment him through his sister but never in his wildest dreams, he thought that it would be Evelyn. Out of 7 f*cking billion people in this world. It has to be the girl he was attracted to. Why her?Why the f*ck it has to be her?He was beyond pissed when she admitted she was his sister. This wasn't supposed to happen. Everything was just fine but then this f*cker Joshua destroyed the dearest thing to Axel.Axel couldn't forget what he saw that night. His blood boiled in his veins and it was only thanks to the liquor in his body that was keeping him from killing them.He wanted to kill Joshua's sister righ
"You shouldn't be sleeping so carelessly, Evelyn," the way he said her name had goosebumps of terror rising on her flesh as her eyes bounced around for anything she could use as a weapon and could escape."H...how did y...you get in?" She breathed shakily and he tilted his head. He was still crouching in front of her looking scary as ever."I've my ways," He said casually. "W...why are you here?" She asked as her mind processed a plan to save herself. If he tried anything she would run into the kitchen and grab a knife. But she has to be faster because if he caught her she would be dead.He sighed before getting up to his mighty height. She gulped as her neck craned up looking at him. He slipped his hands into his pants pocket while peering down at her calmly."Why, you ask. Can't I even meet my soon-to-be wife?" He mused and his casual tone made her heart stutter in fear.The shock of his sudden presence was slowly fading away as she got up from the couch and abruptly stepped to her
It was the third time Evelyn visited there but still the door was locked and no one opened up. She decided to talk to the receptionist on the ground floor only to find out that Ms. Sasha hasn't returned for three days now.Something wasn't right, Evelyn was sure of it but what terrified her the most was the thought; what if Axel has killed Sasha because she was involved with Josh?First, he killed Sasha, and then he was about to kill Josh but when he found out Evelyn was his sister, he changed the plan. Even thinking about it had her heart trembling in fear.Evelyn got to work late. She apologized and as a penalty, she had to work extra four hours. She won't have enough time to spend with Josh at the hospital.After work, she was so tired. She was sleep deprived and hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. Walking to the hospital she grabbed a sandwich from the nearby store and munched on it.After finishing her sandwich she made her way into his ward only to freeze when she hea
Her heartbeat skipped for a fraction of a terrifying second before it started beating again at an abnormal pace. Her arms around Josh tightened and she didn't dare to move or even breathe.From the bottom of her heart, she prayed for it to be an illusion. Or perhaps she was so scared that she had lost her mind and was hearing things but who was she kidding?She noticed how Joshua's eyes widened in absolute shock and he wasn't even blinking.The heavy footsteps were like the knock of death as a man rounded the bench and came to stand in front of them. Her eyes were fixed on the ground where she saw those shiny black boots."What a beautiful sight," That deep raspy voice caused her insides to churn in fear. She could recognize that voice anywhere.The trepidation that coursed through her veins was too much as she was paralyzed at her place.Evelyn grasped back to reality when Joshua sprang up to his feet as her coat that was on his shoulder pooled the ground at his feet.Joshua took a s
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
