Evelyn's POV I was led to my suite. My make-up artist was also with us together with my hair stylist Frank. We settled inside the suite. It has three bedrooms. A kitchen and a large living room. My things were taken to the master bedroom where I would be attended to. After I showered. I was cared for. My hair stylist styled my hair and it was good. The makeup artist also did an excellent job. I almost couldn't recognize myself. "Wow, Evelyn, you look stunning". Scarlet complimented while the hair stylist and the make-up artist were beaming. "Your groom-to-be will be breathless dear. You look gorgeous". Lola said and gave me a peck. I was dressed in a light cream bucket-neck dress design that focused on my bodice. The thin waistline was accentuated with a full-fair skirt with pretty flowers and decorations all over it. With a matching shoe. And my diamond necklace with matching earrings. I was good to go. A knock on the door. And Lola walked out to the
Evelyn's POV Madayaka is a beautiful and glamorous place for our honeymoon. So, I understood why our grandparents sent us there for our honeymoon. What they don't know is that I had an agreement with Alex. So, this honeymoon is just a break from work and nothing else. Our stay in Madayaka was just normal. No intimacy of any sort. We slept in different rooms. However, we go out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner together as a couple that we are. People see us as a perfect couple outside of our suite. But we knew better. Here is our honeymoon routine. Day 1: We arrived at our destination. Madayaka. We checked into a luxurious hotel and our suite. In the afternoon. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch in the hotel's fine restaurant. In the evening. We took a relaxing stroll around the Marina to admire the superyachts and the stunning view of the sea. It was beautiful as we also had dinner in one of the yachts. And so it's how our first day went and we slept in different rooms. No inti
Evelyn's POV Is this jealousy? This is so interesting. "I..I am so.. so sorry sir and ma'am ". The panicking man apologised. Alice quickly stepped forward to apologise on behalf of Joseph. "I am sorry Mr and Mrs Wright. Please, forgive his manners. He is new here and does not know our rules yet. I will teach him well" "Well, it is nice to meet all of you. I hope we get along" Alex dragged me away before they could reply to me. As he led me inside the two-storey mansion. "What was that for? He was only trying to greet us". I defended "By touching you?". He turned back asking me as he glared at me. I stood still, crossing my arms over my chest, and I raised my brow. "What do you mean by him touching me?". I asked. "Is there something else you have against him?" But instead of replying to me. He turned and walked away. I was left dumbfounded and speechless. Alice came forward and offered to take me to my room so I followed behind her. We reached the second floor and walked
Evelyn looked at her now husband and something erupted in her stomach. She gulped down as she watched him approach her as she stood. She was still trying to digest what he meant when he instructed Alice. What was his intention? She thought. For seven days they were away from home in a strange country. He never made her feel unsafe. But right now. It seems she wasn't sure what was to become of her from the way he was making her feel things she had never felt before. Just with his gaze alone. She could feel the moisture in her panties. The dangerously handsome young billionaire is looking dashing and sinfully tempting, and her imagination is running wild, yet she sets a rule. 'No sex'. As much as she wanted to keep to her rules. His good looks and his cologne is irresistible. She remembered the first night he attempted to take her. How he made her feel things. Things she never felt before. She thought if they had done it then. Could it have changed things for them? "Don't think
Alex tried to control his urge so he could focus on their conversation, but all to no avail. Evelyn's sudden craving for sex came as a shock to her. She gulped down, looking at the irresistible, gorgeous man before her. She wants to feast on his mouth. She wants him so bad. Things are happening in her body, and the only one she thinks can give her pleasure is right before her. She also wondered if he felt the same. She wasn't thinking straight. She thought, "Could it be because of the Greek god of a man before me?". But then her thoughts were blocked when Alex's lips descended on hers, kissing her passionately. Her body craved him. She wanted him badly. Same as him. They were both sexually aroused. There was no way they could have control over their bodies as their cravings for each other intensified Alex picked up his wife as if she weighed nothing. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her hands gripped his locks tightly as their kissing became deeper and passionate. On ge
"It is done, sir", Alice Whispered to her boss Alice was in a phone conversation with Alex's grandfather. He had entrusted her with a very difficult task which she had accomplished. The company's legal adviser, whom Evelyn had instructed to help draft a contract, had informed Evelyn's grandfather about the contract. Unknown to Evelyn, her grandfather and Alexander were aware of her plans. But what she didn't know was that they also had their plans. They knew that the couple would not consummate their marriage. So, they had it all planned out by taking the bold step. Alice was assigned to add Viagra to their drink. And it was a success. They will not stop until they get the big news they have been waiting for. _______ Evelyn's eyes opened. She was so weak. Her bones ache. She was sore all over. She tried to get up from bed, but she couldn't. As soon as she pulled away the duvet from her body. She saw Alex's hands wrapped around her waist and his face was on her stomach.
Their romantic session was interrupted by a knock on the door. So they pulled apart. "Yes, come in". Alex spoke loudly. Sofia walked inside with a food cart. Alex and his wife sat down on the same sofa in the library while their breakfast was being served by the maid. She stepped aside after serving them, looking down, and spoke. "Would you want me to bring you anything else?". "No, that would be all. Thanks ". Said Alex. The maid was shocked. Alex was very arrogant and would never say thank you to anyone. She thought that this marriage surely was doing new things to him. She exited the room immediately. The couple ate in silence. Alex was stealing glances at his wife. She was so hungry that she wasn't noticing him. As soon as they were done eating. He spoke. "I want to take you out tonight. Let's go clubbing". He proposed. "Oh! I..I think maybe we should do that next time. I need to be in the office tomorrow morning. A very important client of my company with be waiti
Evelyn was exhausted from her little adventure of touring the mansion. Her body aches from last night's exercise. She is still sore. She had toured every part of the mansion. She thought it would take at least a week before she would get used to the mansion, which she just discovered has three kitchens and four living rooms. The mansion also has a media room with twenty sitting capacity. There is a general gym on the ground floor. But, there is another private gym beside her room. The grand mansion has a ballroom for parties and other events. It also has a very large indoor swimming pool. She discovered that there were twenty bedrooms in total inside the mansion. Although, the staff quarter was at the back of the mansion. She saw the wine vault that has different brands of both alcoholic wines and non-alcoholic wines. The best part of the house is that. There is a helipad on the rooftop of the mansion. And that was when Evelyn knew that Alex had a chopper. At that time,
Evelyn's POV I stepped out of the van. Alex was there to catch me just in time when I nearly fell. Are you doing alright? His face was filled with concern as he asked. "I am alright," I answered. I have no idea if I am okay. I simply do not want to frighten him. I felt sick to my stomach and my entire body started to weaken. Taking in our surroundings, I noticed two cars. Violet's car struck me as recognizable. However, I do not know the second vehicle. I shifted my gaze to Alex. And he was staring at me. "We may have some guests, I believe." He explained it to me, and I nodded. Something about the way I moved felt strange to Alex. So, he gave me his support as he wrapped his hands around my waist leading me inside. "Thanks," I breathed. He knew that something was off, but he decided to let it be. As soon as we entered. I grudgingly rolled my eyes at the person when a familiar scream filled the entire house. "Here comes the best couple in town," Violet exclaimed, swingi
Evelyn narrated her story to her grandfather who was somehow happy that Evelyn had found her father. She has made his job easier for him. "I want to meet him. I want to set everything right. I wronged him and my late daughter. I want to make things right again". He felt vulnerable before his granddaughter. Evelyn hugged him and patted his back. "It's ok grandfather. I know he will forgive you. And I know that mom will also forgive you". Evelyn cooed and assured her grandfather. "Grandfather. I have a request". She requested. "Anything my dear. Anything". He assured her. "I want my Nana out of Jail. She is innocent". She requested knowing that there was no way her grandfather would refuse her now. He sighed and chuckled. Then, his expression changed to what looked like regret. "I have something to tell you, Evelyn. I discovered a few days ago that my daughter was poisoned by__". He passed as his breathing changed. He started fighting for breath. "Call the doctor". Evelyn
Alexander's POV I watched as my wife listened to her phone conversation. She wasn't saying much, only humming and bobbing her head. The person on the other line was the one doing the talking while she listened. I waited for the endless phone interaction to end, but it looked like it'd just begun. She would look at me from time to time while listening to the one talking from the other end of the phone and I am not liking it one bit. My phone beeps, and I take it out of my pocket. I looked at it, and it was a message from my grandfather. Grandfather: Bring your wife to the hospital. George has something important to tell her. It is urgent. I slid the phone back into my pocket and dragged Evelyn with me. She is still on the phone talking to Magdalene. "Alex, what is it? I'm still talk-" "Your Grandfather wants to talk to you now. And it's important" I cut her off and explained the situation to her. "Oh, that's good news then". She laughed and ended the call. We slid inside
Alexander's POV Last night. I received the most shocking information about my wife's parents' secrets. I couldn't sleep. I thought so much about how I would explain it to her. She will eventually find out about it. But, I should let her know before then. I wouldn't want anything to pull her down. Especially now that our relationship is going well. I got out of bed and sauntered into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Looking at my reflection in the vanity mirror. I sighed and decided to take a bath. I walked into the walk-in shower and pressed a button. Setting the water temperature to suit my needs. The water rained heavily on me. I decided to sit on the marble bench in the shower room. I replayed the information I got from my private Investigator. "Joel Carter was abducted by George Carter. He was trained and brought up as George Carter's Son. Elizabeth Christine Carter was the only child of George and while she was pregnant with her College sweethear
Alexander and Evelyn headed to the hospital immediately after they landed. They met James Wright, sitting beside his best friend in the executive private room of the hospital. George Carter was sleeping when they got there. Alex and Evelyn greeted his grandfather who welcomed them with love. He wasn't happy to end their beautiful time together. But he knew Evelyn needed to be around her grandfather, who, for some reason, had been chanting her name ever since he was brought to the hospital. "How's he doing?". Alex asked his grandfather. Evelyn stood beside his bed, combing her fingers through her grandfather's silver hair, sobbing. "You don't need to cry, daughter. He will be fine. The doctors had assured us". Said James to his granddaughter-in-law. She couldn't hold it in anymore. George stood up from his chair and gestured for her to come. She strode to him and hugged him, sobbing. "Shhhh. It's ok my dear". He cooed, patting her back as he wrapped his hand around her comf
Evelyn's POV I looked at my husband and Aldo for answers. There isn't anything they can do. I will have to seek for answer myself. We stepped out of the elevator, and I walked so fast that it looked like I was jogging. Alex strides faster to meet up with me. I got out of the resort and looked towards the hired van that would transport us to the private airport. Then, I saw the man by the van, bringing down our luggage and loading them into the van trunk. I walked closer and when the man locked eyes with me. He gasped. He was amazed. He blinked his eyes there was this look of confusion on his face. Now, I was standing face to face with the man, and I could see from his countenance that he also had questions for me He masked his confession immediately and bowed walking away. "Excuse me". I called. And, he halted his step. He turned back and looked our way. "Yes, ma'am". He replied with a smile. But, I wasn't smiling. Alex stepped by my side, holding my hand. He also wanted to
Alex woke up to a continuous noisy banging on the door. When he opens his eyes. The doorbell rang. And another banging was heard. He squinted his eyes robbing on it. He looked at Evelyn; she was still sleeping soundly, and he didn't want the noise to wake her up. He got off the bed and walked out of the room shutting the door behind him. He sauntered towards the entrance and after peeping through the hole. He opened the door. Aldo's disturbed face came into view. But, Alex didn't notice it. He was still trying to wake up properly. He walked back inside immediately. He opened the door, not paying Aldo any attention. Aldo walked in and shut the door behind him. "Aldo. What is it that can not wait that you had to wake me up from sleep?". He asked Aldo not glancing at him. "Sir. This is urgent". He said. Alexander, who was trying to drink water in the kitchen cocked his head and looked at Aldo. He dropped down the glass cup of water he was about to consume and asked Aldo. "Urgent
Evelyn's POV There is always one person for you. Someone who will cherish and adore you. Someone who will love you no matter how much you wrong them. I hurt Alex with my words but, he forgave me and tried to understand me. I promise myself never to hurt him again. I have also decided to make this relationship work. I want to give us a chance. Alex deserves much more than that. When Alex told me about his late parents. I concluded that we are meant to be. To build a family of our own. Today, we both agreed to visit our parent's grave when we get back to Carminton. I also want him to meet my Nanny. She is like a mother to me. We are at the beach enjoying the sunshine. Alex is surfing. It was amazing. I never knew he could surf. I am wearing a white two-piece bikini, and I lay on the outer bank beach chair. It is a double beach chair for two. It has a very large blue umbrella on top of it preventing the sun from burning me. I put on my dark brown sunglasses watching Alex surfi
Alexander's POV I don't know why I had to ask her about her mother. It's like I opened a closed wound. This is not how I plan this holiday for us. I wanted us to get to know ourselves better. I wanted to know her, and I wanted her to know me. I have no intention of hurting her. But, it seems that is what I am doing right now. We are now lying in bed. Evelyn has been crying ever since I mentioned her mother. However, she stopped crying when we got back inside. But, the silence is eating me up. "My father and my mother were killed in a car accident". I found myself telling her about my parents, whom I never got to know. She adjusted her position in bed. She rested her back on the headboard sitting beside me and holding my hand. I smiled at that simple gesture of hers. But then, I continued. "I never knew them. I only have their pictures and whenever I have something to say to them. I just picked up their picture and I talked to them believing they could hear me". I said to he
