Chapter Six.Evelyn's POVAs we hit the highway. He asked me to input my address into the GPS which I did. We drove in silence as I viewed the streets. His husky voice brought my attention back to him. "If you still can't remember what happened yesterday. I think I should be honest with you". He started. And there was a pang in my chest. "We met in the club last night. After we danced. You agreed to come with me to my place". He paused."I did?". I asked. However, I remembered my discussion with my friend."Yes. We left for my place. My bodyguard drove your car to my place because you wanted to go with me". He paused for a while. But I was anxious. I want to know everything."So, what happened after that?" I wasn't patient enough. "We kissed. We were going to have sex. But, I couldn't""Why?" It came as a whisper"Because". He sighed. "Because I found out you are a virgin. So I stopped". He finished."Why?" I asked him again."Because I don't do virgins". He looked at me briefly an
Alexander's POV There was nothing gentle about me. The fact that I don't do Virgins does not make me a gentleman. It was just one of my many rules. Women like that become clingy and I don't want that. I am a player. And I intend to keep it that way. I still plan on seeing her. Maybe after my engagement though. I know she wants me. I want her too. But, it wasn't my fault she was a virgin. If she is so desperate to lose it. Then, I had no choice but to grant her wish. I was driving back home and my phone beeps. My grandfather's name popped up. So I pulled away from the busy road to read my message. After pulling over. I took my phone from the cup holder and I opened the text. "I am sorry to tell you this. But there was a change of plan. Your wedding comes in two weeks after your engagement. You need to come to see me so we can talk" What the fuck! I dropped my phone and I changed my destination to my family's house. I sped off and I was in thought. Now, shit! Is getting
Alexander's POV "What do you think you're doing?". He asked irritatedly. I was short of words. I don't know what to say. But I pretended I didn't know what he meant. "What exactly are you talking about Grampa?". I tried to play cool. But I know he is smarter than that. "Alex. Don't play dumb with me. When will you stop sleeping with my maid?". He waited for me to reply but he continued. "You need to stop. Reserve your energy for your bride. And give her some respect". He paused. As he opened his mouth to continue with his sermon. I spoke up interrupting him. "I have done everything you wanted me to do. I even agreed to marry the woman you chose for me despite not knowing her. You have not only fixed my engagement date. But you also want to fix my wedding date. Why?". I yelled. I decided to sit down on the edge of the bed to calm down. I had never used such a tone on him before. I know he is doing all he could for my sake. But, I need to see the woman I will be getting ma
Evelyn's POV I was close to being raped at the club. Shit! How stupid I was. The Greek god that I thought I was going to have fun with turned me down after he discovered that I was a virgin. I was frustrated. I felt humiliated. But, after my stiff neck. He was still the one who saved me that night. I got back my memory. The box that was sent to me contained a bottle of medicine and my car key. It was sent to me by my Greek god I now know as Alexander. He had sent his men to drop my car and he got me the medicine to help me regain my lost memory after he discovered the drug that was used on me. I was grateful to him. But I don't have his contact to thank him properly. It is a pity I can't be with him. He was supposed to take his chance as my one-night stand but he fucked it up. I got up from my bed to freshen up. As I was about to go into the ensuite, my phone started to ring. I ignored it and I proceeded to freshen up. After I climbed down from the shower. I towel-dr
Evelyn's POV "Evelyn. It's time to meet your prince charming". Scarlet giggled. It's been six days since I met George Wright. The famous Billionaire. Or, should I say the richest man in Richbouph and the second-richest man in the world? Either way, I am getting engaged to his grandson in a few minutes. The man is sweet and fun to be with despite his age. No wonder he is my grandfather's best friend. They are full of humour. I hope his grandson will be like him. I was still in a trance when Scarlet's loud voice interrupted me. "Are you even listening to me?". She shouted "Why are you yelling?". "The guests are here. It's time". She informed The room door opens and reveals Grace. She was dressed in a lilac sweetheart floor-length sequence gown that was fitted from her chest to her waist and it went free from her hips down to her ankle. The same goes for Scarlet. As for me. I am dressed in a cream colour silk floor-length open-back dress with a full lace long-sleeve.
The microphone was passed on to James Wright who also gave a speech. While a flute of champagne has been passed to everyone. He started giving his speech. "I want to say, this is joy overflow. I have been waiting for this day to come. Alexander is my only grandson. I am so happy that he has made the right choice tonight. I want you all to raise your flutes and let's toast to them. To Evelyn and Alex". Everyone raises their flute and toast to Evelyn and Alex Alexander was beaming with happiness. Even though he was shocked at the turn of events because he was not expecting that his one-night stand would turn out to be his bride-to-be. However, that was not the case with Evelyn. She was not entirely ok with the whole situation. She felt embarrassed especially the fact that the man she was getting married to happened to be her one-night stand. She felt ashamed of herself. And as everyone was celebrating. She was sad. The engagement was over. They all departed from the stage down t
It's been seven days since the engagement and Alexander has not been himself. He had travelled out of Richbouph for business and just got back. He hasn't been in contact with Evelyn since then. He thought to give her some time to come around. Alexander liked Evelyn from the very first time he set his eyes on her. Although it was supposed to be a one-night thing. Even at that, he couldn't deny that he felt something for her. Now that they are engaged. He would not back down. He knew the game Evelyn was trying to play with him. And he was very well prepared to play her game with her. He had called her so they could meet. Now, he is waiting for her at a restaurant where they agreed to meet. He made sure to book the restaurant for the whole day just for the two of them. Shortly after, she arrived. A hostess ushered her in and led her to Alex. She was carrying a black handbag and another folder in her other hand. Alexander was stunned knowing fully well that she came prepared. "Hi
She handed the papers to him and he scribbled his signature on it. And after he was done. He got up and headed out leaving Evelyn behind. He was angry. He was hurt. But then, he turned back, and when he returned to her, he dragged her up and looked into her eyes. "Don't contact me after today. I will see you at the altar in a week. Good day Ms Carter". And he left. Evelyn was shocked at his outburst. She thought they both wanted the same thing. She didn't want to look as if she was happy to be his wife. However, she was jealous that he slept with other women while he turned her down. She never thought he would be this mad. She wondered if he was jealous. Or perhaps he was only acting. But she was not going to back down. Not now, maybe in the future.because one thing is for sure. She was not ready to have kids. _____ "How could you?" Scarlet scowled, looking pissed as she grabbed a can of beer from the fridge walking back to the sitting room. "What do you mean?". Evelyn asked
