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

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
