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
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
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'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
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
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's POV There are times I never wish to be born into a wealthy family. Especially being the only heir to the family's empire. Too many expectations of me from my family. I never wished or asked for it.Most times, I find myself doing things I don't want to do. For instance, I am currently preparing to be engaged to a man I have never met before in my life. And that in a week now. Isn't that sad?I know you will agree with me. I am supposed to find love and not the other way around. I was brought up and had been trained to follow my Grandfather's every command. Being the only heir to my family's empire. My family get to choose who I get married to. It appears to be in my best interests. It is one of those things my mother always tells me growing up. I don't get to choose who to love.My family is into construction. We owned the largest construction company in Richbouph. Which is Carter Construction Company. My grandfather is the company's chairman, and my father is the company's
Evelyn's POV"What about you gorgeous? When will you lose your v card?". She asked looking serious while wiggling her browsI know that look. Scarlet and I had this conversation after I was told that my husband had been chosen. I planned on losing my innocence to any random guy before marriage. "I am planning to hook up with a nice-looking guy tonight. What do you think?". I giggled "Go for it, my dear friend. I am rooting for you. You need to become a real woman. But can I choose someone for you?". She asked giving me giving me a puppy face."Here are your drinks pretty women". He winked at us after passing our drinks to us.What is it with this guy and winking? Though my friend is fucking him tonight.We started drinking while we chatted. Looking around the club. I saw how the club was congested. And I cringe at it. But then, I feel like dancing. I down my drink and ordered for more. After finishing the second drink I ordered. My body was heating up. But before I ordered anothe

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
