"So she was faking it?" Mark questioned inwardly. He turned to look at her properly and then he realized the loose shirt. Her pale skin was staring at the man. And her cleavage...?That was not too good a sight for Mark. His jaws tightened. He shut his eyes to shield him from what he was seeing. He had a choice to shove the girl away.But, Evan was also approaching. And Mark could feel the nervousness of the girl in his arms. She had no choice but to tug her face into his coat. "Who is she?" Evan didn't spare the chance to ask. Her face might be hidden but he was not dumb not to notice her features. It hadn't been long since they met each other."Her?... What the hell! " He scoffed irritably, "Of all people, how come she is here?" The displeasure on Evan's face was evident."Wait, you know her?" Mark inquired, surprised by the situation. While Mark was aware they attended the same school, Evan rarely acknowledged girls, let alone interacted with them more than once. He couldn't care
It seems the sun always sets in the south for Evan. He came out of his car with his usual 'I am an angry bird' mood! Home was not a better comfort to his annoying mood.Having had to control himself from confronting Angel in the day was making him angry not to mention the scowl he wore when a servant greeted him."Welcome, young master," said the servant. Evan merely adjusted his coat and ghosted past her into the mansion as if she were a spirit.Standing by the door was an old woman, Vien, in her 60s, waiting for his return. They had all been worried about Evan since they heard the incident that happened in the school. So when old Vien(Nanny) saw Evan through the plain glass door, she hurried her old legs to welcome him."Marlie, Marlie, your son is back." Vien's husky voice came out of the mansion as Evan walked in."Evan, my son," Marlie exclaimed. Evan's expression gave away his sour mood, a fact noticed first by Vien but not by his mother."Son, how are you feeling? What happened
Upon releasing her hands, he gently cradled her face and locked eyes with her."It appears that we have located her," Chad stated.Marlie was shocked at this revelation. She had waited for this day to come but she wasn't expecting this news all of a sudden. "H...h...how?...when.... how did this happen all of a sudden?" she managed to stammer."I chose to confirm it as a surprise, to spare you from any further distress. It was necessary to verify if she was truly our Evelyn.""And now...?" Marlie inquired.Chad nodded. "Indeed, she is. The DNA results are a match. We have finally found her."Tears of joy streamed down Marlie's face, her emotions overflowing. Vien, too, couldn't contain her happiness and shed tears of joy. After the mourning days, there is light for them to rejoice. Marlie fell into the embrace of Chad in tears."Hush, now... you can finally let go of the tears," he comforted while rubbing her back."I always believed my little princess was alive. I just knew it," Marl
"Evan, my dear son," Her words interrupted Evan's movements. "What would you say if your dear sister were here with us today?"A hush fell over the room. All eyes were fixed on Evan, even the servants' eyes were on him. Everyone eagerly awaited his response.Evan calmly set down his utensils, taking his time to process the question. A smirk curled at the corners of his mouth."Who? The dead one? Has she suddenly come back to life?"The tension in the room was palpable. Vein and Marlie had stopped eating, but Chad continued to devour his food."Ahh, You went through yet another pointless test, didn't you? Or perhaps... you found your beloved child... mother." Evan's eyes blazed with anger, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice."Evan..." Vien spoke, her voice filled with caution.Evan let out a cold, sardonic laugh that sent shivers through the room. Chad tried his best to focus on his food, but his grip on his cutlery tightened. Evan then turned to his father, as if the next words were
With an impassive face, Evan turned to face Angel, who stood poised and waiting for a reaction. She was deliberately pushing his buttons.Evan's gaze settled on Angel, and he couldn't help but smirk at her pathetic attempts to rile him. "Do you believe your petty attempts will grab my attention?" he sneered, his eyes flashing with annoyance.Angel's response was one of disbelief. "What?!" she exclaimed, her tone indignant."These desperate attempts... " Evan jeered, his contempt plain on his face. "You think you're the first to try to manipulate me?""Desperate? You?" Angel burst into laughter. That was mocking, her eyebrow raised in challenge. "You're one to talk, Evan Baristanas. You think highly of yourself." Her tone was laced with scorn. "I look for men, not a pretty, annoying girl like you!"Evan steadied himself not to react to being called a girl. But rather retorted. "I suppose you think my uncle will be impressed with something like you?"That was swift and biting."Something
When it came to cake, Evan didn't waste a second in seeking confirmation. It was a surprise to him his mother would go to the length of baking him a cake, only to be met with a surprise splashing of cake all over him."What the f..." His eyes blazed with fury as he spun around to confront the perpetrator, his anger boiling over at the sight of the culprit, Angel. "I might be a trash, but you look like a clown!" Angel taunted, taking her time to make a dramatic exit.Phil couldn't help but burst out laughing at the absurdity of the scene, Evan looking like a clown. "You got what was coming to you! You can't mess with just anyone," he exclaimed, chuckling at his cousin's misfortune.Phil was in stitches, and Evan's cake-covered face only added to the hilarity. The birthday boy looked like a walking dessert, and Phil couldn't get enough of it. Seething with anger, Evan stormed off in his car, leaving Phil to revel in the moment, Angel was long gone before he could even think of venti
Evan's frustration had reached a boiling point. He couldn't bear to watch Angel's antics at his party any longer. He needed a distraction, so he retreated to the mansion.His footsteps echoed up the stairs towards his room, until he noticed a door slightly ajar. That piqued his curiosity. The rooms upstairs were off-limits to guests, which made him wonder why that one was open."Odd," he whispered to himself, his curiosity getting the better of him. He pushed the door open, and what he saw left him stunned. His mother, Marlie, was holding a girl in front of a mirror, a warm smile on her face.It was Marlie's words that sent shockwaves through Evan's entire being. "Princess, I'm thrilled to finally meet you. Your brother will be delighted to see how you've grown into a beautiful and loving young woman, Evelyn." The name struck a nerve in Evan. He realized what was going on, his twin sister was found. And right there, she stood in flesh and blood. His mind began to swell, his inner tu
Angel's soft lips brushed against Mark's.His gaze froze, fixed on Angel's face as he struggled to process what was happening. Oblivious to his reaction, she had closed her eyes, surrendering to the kiss.The fleeting kiss sent Mark's heart racing, his stomach churning with a mix of emotions. He was paralyzed, his eyes fixed on hers as she slowly opened them. Their gazes locked, and for a moment, time stood still. The unspoken spark between them left them both breathless, oblivious to their surroundings. Mark felt lost in the depths of Angel's hazelnut eyes, vulnerable and captivated. He couldn't tear his gaze away, and she, too, was entranced by the intensity of his stare. The air was electric with tension, as if time had come to a standstill. The sight of Angel on her tiptoes, reaching for Mark's lips, was a moment of raw intimacy, one that left Chad aghast. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the scene, his mind racing with the implications. It was no secret that Mark, a hand
