Chapter 1
"Mum, what are you insinuating? They came today!" Evelyn shouted over the phone.
"Yes, come home right now" Mrs Brown replied.
"Why will I? I told you I don't want this!" She said,
"Please, Evelyn don't run away, come home straight" Mrs Brown pleaded.
"Who am I if I can't come? If my father believes I have my own virtue, he shouldn't have sold me to his friend's son," Evelyn said angrily.
She wanted to do her makeup for her photoshoot when her phone rang and it turned out to be her mother. She was asked to come home, her betrothed family are home already and she is angry and sad at the same time.
"What? An arranged marriage!" Amber shouted.
Evelyn quickly hung up the phone and Amber bursted into tears.
"Sis, that means I wouldn't work for you again, then who is gonna employ me because of my clumsy nature!" Amber sobbed while Evelyn wiped her tears.
"Who says you wouldn't work as my PA again,we are glued by gum, I would rather run away with you than to get married!" Evelyn pacifies her and she blushes.
"Sis, did you mean it?" Amber asked with a smile.
"Did you expect me to say that… I will be back and listen, don't tell this to anyone" Evelyn replied rushing out to her car.
"Sis, you have to shoot for Skincare and Mega cream!" Amber shouted but Evelyn already zoomed off.
Evelyn Browns is a high ranking model and she was well known in her country, America and internationally.
She is not famous because she is the only daughter of the Brown family, the second richest family in America but because of her cheerful and gentle nature.
"I just wish his betrothed is handsome and popular gosh!..I can't wait to snap with him and post it on my social media handles" She shouted but covered her mouth quickly.
"She said not to tell anyone!" She mutters, biting her lower lips.

Mrs Brown was outside all while praying for Evelyn to show up and her prayer yielded.
She sighs when Evelyn comes out of the car, she knows Evelyn Brown is an obstinate girl like her father and wouldn't agree.
"Mum,what are you telling me over the phone?" She asked.
"The truth, Evelyn!" Mrs Brown replied.
"Let's go in first, please act normal" Mrs Brown pacifies.
"Yeah," She replied and entered.
"I guess this is my daughter in-law" Mrs Valentino mutters with a smile.
The Valentino family are well known all over the world and America because they are the richest family.
Valentino and the Brown family were friends before Mr Brown and Mr Valentino died.
But during their friendship period, Mr Brown made a vow to Mr Valentino, that their children should get married when they are eighteen.
"Yes she is," Mrs Brown replied.
Evelyn sat down beside Mrs Brown.
"If you have agreed, I have chosen a date for them" Mrs Valentino mutters and picks her phone from her handbag.
"Where is the groom himself, is he a lame that can't even walk, making you come on his behalf?" Evelyn asked, staring at the perplexed Mrs Valentino.
Mrs Valentino had a surprise expression by Evelyn outburst.
She thought Evelyn would agree easily and not question because she heard Evelyn is a gentle girl.
"Well, he is on a business trip and he told me to come on his behalf" She replied, staring at Evelyn.
"Then…I don't support this marriage,I have to see my groom before jumping into the marriage, even if it's an arranged marriage" Evelyn replied hotly standing up beside Mrs Brown.
Mrs Brown pinched her but Evelyn didn't look like she got the clue.
"Calm down, daughter-in-law,he is truly on a business trip,he knows you and he wanted to get married to you before he went on a business trip but I told him, I will inform you first. So I wanted to use this as a surprise for him" Mrs Brown lied because his son didn't know that he was getting married.
"Then, tell him when he returns from his business trip that I, Evelyn Brown, rejected this marriage" She replied and left immediately.
"Evelyn!" Mrs Brown shouted going after her but she returned back when she saw that Eve had driven out of the parking lot.
"Maybe you should come some other time, I will talk to her" Mrs Brown said to Mrs Valentino who had stood up.
"Alright, I will take my leave" Mrs Valentino replied and left the house.

As Evelyn left the house, she went directly to a playground where she always came anytime she found herself in a mess or when she was sad.
The playground is not very far from her home. She often comes here because nobody can bother her, not even her fans.
She sat on the swing, swinging forth and back, nonstop.
She was very furious,the way the woman's words sound.She thought over and over about it.
"Don't kill yourself woman!" A guy said suddenly, making Evelyn stop swinging.
Evelyn maintained eye contact with the latter but she wasn't able to withdraw her eyes.
The guy's blue eyes are so charming and his plump pink lips look cute, his handsomeness and tallness is beyond comparison.
Evelyn couldn't compare her music idol crush to him, he looks just like a demigod.
She stares at his cute brow and giggles silently.
"Hey kiddo! Are you also here to think over the mess you are in?" Evelyn asked.
"Not kiddo,I'm twenty" He replied wanting to sit on her leg.
"Wtf!" Evelyn cursed and pushed him away making him fall on his butt.
"What is that?" The guy shouted standing up from the floor.
Evelyn immediately thought he was a pervert.
"Are you a pervert or what?" Evelyn asked.
"Do I look like one?" he mutters with a wink and sits at the available swing beside Evelyn.
Evelyn chuckled and faced him.
"What is this woman's name?" he asked.
"I'm popular! Do I need to tell you my name, but if you don't know I'm Eve!"
"Your name?" Evelyn asked, looking at him.
"Anonymous" he replied, making Evelyn chuckle.
"So, Anonymous, why are you here?" She asked.
"To play" he replied smiling and Evelyn almost fell from the swing because of his bright smile, his smile attracted her towards him.
"To play…and you said you are twenty?" Evelyn mocked.
"Of course,I'm twenty or am I not" he mutters, ruffling his hair in frustration.
"Anonymous, you made my day, I will leave now" Evelyn replied walking away.
"Your name" he shouted at her back.
"Anonymous 2" Evelyn replied and left to where she packed her car.
She started the car and drove back to her workplace, ANNING.
She is their best model in ANNING and her boss cherishes her and wouldn't allow her to leave because of anything.

"Drake, what are you doing here?" Mrs Valentino asked seeing him on a swing.
She has been searching for him since she returned home, she remembers vividly that she locked his room door.
All thanks to the tracker she hid in his body.
"To play, of course," he replied, not looking at her face.
"Drake, I clearly told you not to go out,you are a CEO, you will bring shame to our Valentino family if you are seen like this" She replied and he stood up immediately.
Drake Valentino is a well known CEO,even though he is twenty,he is known for his intelligence and handsomeness,he is going through an illness that makes him act like a moron,this illness last happened to his grandfather and the illness lasted for five years.
Mrs Valentino has called many doctors to do a check up for him but they aren't able to say anything,she silenced them with money not to expose her son's situation to the world.
She wanted to avoid being mocked and degraded.
She assumes the doctors aren't competent, so she called for their family doctor in San Francisco to fly home.
He arrived two weeks later and checked him also but it was just like the other, he didn't see anything, so she advised Mrs Valentino to find him a wife.
Mrs Valentino then remembered her husband's last word about his friend's promise to give his daughter to their son to marry.
She quickly heads to the Browns mansion.
"What did I do to deserve all the insult?" he mutters crying while Mrs Valentino sighs.
"Let go home" She mutters but Drake ignores her like a plague.
"Let's go home, Drake!" She mutters,her voice getting unfriendly and harsh.
"I didn't ask for the Anonymous 2 number," he mutters, biting his lower lips.
"Who the hell is Anonymous 2, did someone already see you like this, by whatever let go home" she shouted and he started his tears again.
"Always shouting at me" he replied and walked angrily to the car.
Mrs Valentino rushed after her thinking he was running away but she walked slowly when she saw him enter the car.
"Driver, let go" Drake mutters to the driver who reluctantly nodded negatively.
"What about madam?" The driver asked.
"She should be able to trek, she is not that old" He replied and the driver zoomed off.
"Drake, driver…wait!" Mrs Valentino shouted running after the moving car.
Chapter 2Mrs Valentino gives a relieved sigh because her phone is with, if not a whole her, the wife of the richest man in America would trek.She dials the number of their second driver, The Valentino's have up to ten drivers.The driver arrived immediately after the call,if he gets sacked, there isn't a place he will get the amount the Valentino's are paying.They arrived at home shortly and Mrs Valentino went straight to Drake's room.But the doors were locked, she knocked on the door repeatedly and Drake didn't open up."Drake, if you are listening, you need to be well behaved as of now because soon you are getting married!" Mrs Valentino said angrily."Marriage!, What is that? Me being tied to a girl right, I wouldn't, go and marry the girl" he replied without opening the door.Mrs Valentino smirks and leaves his door.She was going to the compound to meet the driver who acted stupidly, but surprisingl
Chapter 3"I want to tell you something Evelyn," Mr Ronald said as she stopped drinking the red wine and looked at him."I'm listening, Mr Ronald!" Evelyn replied and her phone rang immediately.She brought out her phone from her handbag.She checks the caller id and it turns out to be her mother, Mrs Brown."Excuse me," She said to Mr Ronald."Take your time!" He replied and she picked the call."Hello Mum!" She mutters."Young lady! Where did you keep your phone? I have been calling you since" Mrs Brown asked in a scolding manner."Doesn't know you've been calling, eating lunch with colleagues at a restaurant!" She replied.As she was chatting with her mum, Mr Ronald was looking at her natural flawless face, to him, Evelyn is his goddess and not ANNING goddess.He loves her a lot but he is afraid she might not work with him again if he discloses his feelings to her and it's love at first
Chapter 4Evelyn woke up the next morning, but her body was aching and she was having a headache. Maybe it is because she slept on the couch or because she had a lotta wine yesterday, she thought.She touched her forehead but the head was aching badly. She sits up on the couch, she smiles seeing a duvet in her body.She can remember vividly that she slept hugging her mum.She smiles remembering how they ran around the whole living room playing like a kid.But she turns sour immediately when she remembers her mom pleading with her to get married.She sighs and stands up from the couch.Mrs. Brown rushed to her."Hey darling, aren't you having a headache?" Mrs. Brown asked with a smile."Not really!" She replied climbing up the stairs."Alright… then you need to shower and come down, the food will be dished out in a minute" Mrs. Brown shouted at her back and went back to the kitchen.
Chapter 5"Where are you going all of a sudden? Aren't we friends anymore?" A blonde girl who is painting her nails on a couch asked."Yeah, I don't also understand the reason she has been packing" Another girl said, entering into the sitting room where Viola and the blonde were arguing."I'm going back to America since I'm done with my surgery" Viola replied checking the time."It's past 1 and my flight is at 2"."Viola, are we even friends, you didn't bother to tell us you are going back to America, is that what a true friend does?" The blondie replied, dropping the paint bottle and crossing her arms."You guys are funny, wouldn't I go back to my modelling career, and I have to go and possess my possession I left there, is that clear guys…..and I have been hearing that, that shabby girl Evelyn is growing more popular day by day, so I need to go back" she replied dressing her hair."So, if we didn't ask, you are gonna leave
Chapter 6"I have to go back to ANNING!" Evelyn said.Gold had a dissatisfied look, he thought Evelyn would at least fall for his charm and maybe it will later reach the stage of them branching to the hotel and getting laid."Oh..h why wouldn't you have a drink?" He stuttered, scratching the back of his neck angrily."Nope, seriously, I'm good and they will be probably waiting for me, got to go" Evelyn replied standing up."Then should I drop you off?" He asked."I wouldn't want to bother!" Evelyn replied and left the restaurant.Throughout the time Evelyn is with him, she is only seeing the guy who called himself an anonymous face on Gold face and she doesn't understand a bit."Shit! That chick escaped, what do I do? I need to fu**k!" He mutters under his breath looking around for whoever would be his prey.He smiles when he sees the girl and he snuggles his hotel card in her hand.The girl walked
Chapter 7"Welcome to Valentino family, daughter-in-law" Mrs. Valentino said with a smile and left with her minionsEvelyn bites her lower lips hard, almost making the lips bleed in anger.She knows the greeting isn't a normal one but a deadly one that will always remind her that she just got her hands in shackles.Mrs. Brown engulfed her in a hug and she whispered quietly in Evelyn's ear."It will be okay daughter!."Evelyn used the medium, she hugged her mum really tight and inhaled softly before disengaging from the hug."I will go to ANNING now."She replied and picked up her car key and hand bag and dashed out of the house.She arrived at the parking lot, hopped into a black Porsche and drove out of Brown mansion. ****"Viola! Is this really you" Mr. Cladius said, wanting to hug her but she ducked, making him fall down."I'm back, I want you to make me the number one model in the
Chapter 8Nathan couldn't sleep a wink yesterday because the rejection kept ranging in his ear and it hurt him badly.He kept changing his sleeping posture till morning.And Amber also feels guilty that she shouldn't have talked to him like that.Evelyn doesn't want to believe that Drake Valentino is her husband.She thought she was going to believe until she set her eyes on him. Drake Valentino was also anticipating who the girl he is gonna marry will be. ****Drake Valentino, Mrs. Valentino and Johnny Mudrock are in the living room.Johnny Mudrock stood to obey Mrs. Valentino's command.Drake was licking an ice cream making them think he is a fool to hear their discussion."Mudrock, I want you to go to Brown mansion with ten maids, her belongings should be in Drake penthouse as soon as possible."Mrs. Valentino mutters to Johnny Mudrock who bows his head in response and leaves.
Chapter 9Evelyn looks up with a smile."In your dream will I Evelyn bow to you not in reality, so it's true that you are back, huh?" Evelyn replied, crossing her arms."Of course I'm back, don't you supposed to feel scared, now that I'm back" Viola said.Evelyn starts to shiver playfully."Gosh, I'm scared!" Evelyn mocked with a grin and Viola smirked."We will see who will have the last smile" Viola whispers and Evelyn walks to her with a smile."I don't feel scared or insecure because of you, it will be good now that I have an opponent, I'm bored of being the only popular model," Evelyn replied, pinching her brow."I don't have time for your rant, compensate me for the damaged car" Viola said."Oh, did you become so poor after reviving from the death, and I Evelyn doesn't have a dine to pay you" Evelyn replied fearlessly."You bitch!" Viola fumed through gritted teeth."Plastic face
