Chapter: Chapter thirty: You have a weird tasteSkyler looked down feeling a little ashamed. He doesn't know what made him admit what he just did. His childhood has not been a normal one and diving into the horrors that shaped his childhood was not the way he wanted to start this date. He braced himself and looked up at Adriana who was gawking at him as if he has several heads. Guess it is a foreign notion to have someone who has never tasted ice cream before in his life. Ice cream was one of the sinful pleasures of childhood that every kid had indulged in, every kid except him. His mother had been a healthy diet fanatic who couldn't stand her only child eating anything that wasn't healthy. Ice cream was one of the little things she denied him growing up. " Can you pretend you didn't just hear that? " he requested. His tone was part pleading and part serious. He wasn't ready to answer the questions that he was sure to follow. Adriana started to shake her head at Skyler's request. He can't just dump such a huge bomb on her and

Chapter: Chapter twenty nine: Date one: Ice cream dateYou can never go wrong with ice creamAdriana was a nervous wreck. Today is D day of her date with Skyler. After the shamble that was their first date, this was giving her jitters. She had not been able to sleep a wink as her thoughts roamed around her date with Skyler. Even before the sun kissed the sky she was already up and heading towards her kitchen for a much-needed wake-up call of her coffee shot. Now she was fully dressed and ready. A nervous look at her wristwatch revealed that she was a few minutes late. They had made arrangements for her to pick Skyler up at nine am but her watch told her she was five minutes late. It must be a curse or something that no matter how early she starts she always ends up late. She sped out of her house like it was on fire. This date she was determined to make it memorable to wipe out the bad memories of their first date and already she was off to a bad start. She wasn't looking forward to that superior frown that is sure to be on Skyler'

Chapter: Chapter twenty eight: The dates are back on. Adriana barely tasted her dinner and when she arrived home she still couldn't forget. She kept visualizing Skyler with the brunette and the smile on his face. The more she thought about them the more restless she grew. When she couldn't take the disturbing thoughts anymore she came down from her bed and went to the kitchen where she took out a bottle of half-opened Brandy and a wine glass and went to her kitchen table and sat down. She poured a little into the glass and drowned it and then another and another and only stopped at the third glass. The burning drink in her system still couldn't help with her troubling thoughts. She stood to her feet and began to pace around her kitchen with another glass in hand. Why can't I stop thinking about him? She wondered in annoyance walking from one end to another. She wasn't like this. Has never been this hung up on a guy before. " What are you doing to me, Skyler, " she groaned hitting her head on the wall. She kept hitting her head tryin

Chapter: Chapter twenty seven: Sizzling with jealousy The restaurant Daniela picked was a popular one in the city and as usual most of the seats were filled with Patrons. Their entrance barely sparked any curiosity in the people inside who were more focused on their meals and conversing with their dinner mates. The table arrangements had four, three and two seats so they went for the three table seat arrangements since they were waiting for another person. Being a gentleman he is, Skyler pulled out a chair for Daniela before taking his seat. When they sat down Daniela quickly picked up the menu on the table to keep herself occupied. Honestly, she felt a little nervous around Skyler. " Are we ordering now or waiting for your girlfriend? " Skyler asked looking in her direction from above his menu. " Fiancee, and yes we are waiting that is if you don't mind? She will join us in the next... Daniela looked at the slim golden chain watch on her slender wrist... ten minutes. "" Oh, I don't mind. Maybe we can have some drinks and you can t

Chapter: Chapter twenty six: Dinner The beautiful bright Monday morning sun found Skyler behind his desk head over his laptop working. He had a stern and concentrated look on his face as his slender long fingers moved intermittently on his laptop. This strong concentration was interrupted by the ringing of the intercom on his desk. It was the reception desk downstairs in the lobby calling.His brows furrowed into two frowny lines, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. Skyler hated being interrupted when he is working. He glared at the intercom like it was its fault for ringing before he picked it up. " Hello, " his deep smooth voice resonated through the telephone" Mr. Rivers, there is a woman here to see you but she doesn't have an appointment, " a syrupy female voice answered on the other end. Skyler's brow wrinkled. Who could this woman be? His heart leaped from his chest to his throat when he imagined who it could be. Is she here? Does that mean she regrets what she has done and has come to apolog

Chapter: Chapter twenty five: Who is she? " Do you like him? "Adriana's heart skipped in her chest at her mother's question. " I don't know mum? " she whispered with the vulnerability of a child seeking guidance from her parent." Well, I have to say he is hot and I don't blame you if you do. "" Mum! " Adriana screeched feeling a little mortified on her mother's behalf. " Hey! old, not blind, " the older woman defended" How did you even know what he looks like? "" There is something called the internet. I asked google. " Adriana laughed again before letting out a sighShe was lost on what to do about Skyler. Her sigh was a lot of words to the woman on the other side who knows her child so well.She will not be this disturbed if she didn't like the young man in question. She had called to tell her daughter not to go through with whatever her husband had her involved in. She was not going to sit back and watch her husband push their child into marrying someone she doesn't love, but from what is happening right now it mi

Chapter: Chapter twenty nine: I am going to marry Trent Most of the day was spent finalizing things in the hospital, making arrangements for the surgery to go on and signing all the papers that needed signing before her father can be taking to the hospital. Amidst all these Evangel could feel Trent's sharp presence in the room like a strong perfume scent that refuses to go away. After her little talk with her father she had not been able to look him in the face. A fact that is a problem in itself seeing she will soon be getting married to him. Something Evangel wishes in her very heart that she could forget or be a nightmare she has the luxury of waking up from, but she has given her dad her word so this is now her reality. Trent's presence hasn't been all bad, he had given her the comfort she needed to put things in order for her father. If not for his presence she didn't know how she would have carried on. " Are you alright? " Evangel looked up at Trent and forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She lifted her coffee to her lip

Chapter: Chapter twenty eight: Your father is in the hospital The next day found Evangel sitting at their small kitchen table lost in thought with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was still in her nightwear, a long grey T-shirt that fell just before her knees. The cup was held up with her two hands, one leg up the kitchen chair, a vacant look in her eyes while she stared off the distance. The morning was a little chilly but inside the house was kept by the heater. Evangel troubles thoughts swam around the events of last night. And what had her mind so troubled wasn't the horrible encounter with her father and him acting like a male chauvinist. No, there is just one thought she can't do away with no matter how much she desires it. The kiss. She hadn't been able to put it out of her mind. Last night when they came home Clarissa had acted as if nothing happened. She had wanted to talk about it. I mean that hadn't been part of the plan. She wanted to know how her best friend felt about the kiss and to apologize if necessary. She has always be

Chapter: Chapter twenty seven: You are playing with fire Even though she was pretending with Clarissa she was going to make it real just to prove to her father that he couldn't control her. What the hell is with the caveman attitude, Evangel thought angrily as she made her way towards the living room. Her entrance caused everyone to look in her direction. Clarissa saw the anger and sadness in her best friend's eyes and immediately went to her. " Hey, are you alright? " she asked tenderly as she came to a stop before Evangel. The tight control she was holding onto her emotions was slipping and Evangel didn't want to break down in front of Trent and her cousin. " Can we leave, " she whispered her voice heavy with emotions she was barely keeping at bay. Clarissa's clenched at the pain and weariness in her best friend's voice. What happened with her father? She wanted to pull her best friend into her arms but knew that is not what Evangel wanted right now. She decided to do as she requested. " Wait here let me get our purse, " she tol

Chapter: Chapter twenty six: She doesn't belong to anyone Every jaw around the table hit the ground when the two women kissed. The room grew silent as the other three could only gawk like idiots. Evangel had only meant for the kiss to be a chaste one to further sell their relationship but the softness and sweetness of Clarissa's lips were one she never expected. She was shocked and aroused by it and hungered for more. She moaned silently into her lips and deepened the kiss. Clarissa was still in shock. She couldn't believe she was kissing her best friend. Her heart thundered like a war drum in her chest as her lips trailed across Evangel's soft ones. Out of their volition, her hand moved up to Evangel's nape to pull her closer as her eyes fluttered close in excitement. Everything else disappeared for the two women as they got lost in each other's lips. The feeling rushing through them was one they never bargained for or even believed possible. No one has ever made Evangel feel this hot just from a kiss alone, not even Trent. She sucked

Chapter: Chapter twenty five : The tension in the room The tension Veronica's question caused around the table was like a jungle monster huge and scary. Everyone looked toward Evangel to answer, but she wasn't looking at anyone.Evangel swallowed her throat thick with confusing emotions. Her plan had been for her father and Trent's sake, no other family member was meant to find out. What should she do? She jumped out of her skin when she felt Clarissa's hand in hers. She wanted to snatch it away because she could feel Veronica's snake eyes on them but restrained from such an obvious action. Clarissa could feel her best friend freaking out. Admitting their relationship to a fourth party had not been part of their plan but if they can't cross this hurdle now everything will be for nothing and they will come off looking like a fool to her father so there was no other option than to continue. She wished Evangel will say something before their plan unravels. When the silence began to linger a mocking smirk curved Trent's lips. He knew all

Chapter: Chapter twenty four : Who are you? The sound of the bell ringing killed the conversation happening in the living room. The four occupants glanced at one another, questions glaring in their eyes. Who was ringing? " Dad, are you expecting anybody else? Maybe her mother from the grave, " Evangel added in her thought still seething from her dad's latest ploy. What is he playing at? Trent was the last man on earth she will ever want to marry. Maybe telling her father what kind of a man Trent is will cure this madness of making him a son-in-law. Steven glared at his daughter not appreciative of her sarcastic tone. " None that I am aware of, " he looked towards the door as if expecting it to give him a clue as to who is outside. " Castro! " he called The older butler magically puffed up at the sound of his master's voice. " You called sir, " Castro answered as he made his way into the living room from the kitchen, giving his master a curious glance. " Someone is at the door, " Steven told him with a frown trying to
