Chapter 10
Mr. Cladius and Mr. Ronald let out a meaningful smile to each other.To Mr. Cladius, the smile was of victory but to Mr. Ronald, it seemed it was never.After Viola got into the changing room, her makeup artist did her face prettily and also changed into the same vest as Evelyn.The instruments were ready including the photographer and the two bosses.Evelyn was reading the ingredients of the Lovely perfume in her hand because she loves the scent."The second model is here!" A trainee announced and Evelyn looked up at once.She maintains eye contact with their so-called second model and it turns out to be Viola.'Why didn't I think of it when Mr. Ronald didn't tell me the second model name' Evelyn thought.Evelyn glares hard at Mr. Ronald, he signals to her joining his two palms together in a pleading manner."Hey you" Viola said to the trainee who announced her presence in the place.Viola's PA had Viola's handbag and bottle of water in her hand.The trainee was from ANNING, she looked back at Viola who called her."Next time, don't announce my presence as the second model, I'm Viola Spooner '' She said and the girl nodded."Hi, second model!" Evelyn greeted mockingly and Viola gritted her secretly, not letting the people find out that she was pained by Evelyn's words.She replied Evelyn greetings with a smile before speaking up.Now, Lovely reporters surrounded them and Mr. Ronald already knew this would happen.Nathan, Stephen and other guys in ANNING serve as the bodyguards or cops.They help in pushing the reporters out, the photoshoot hasn't started and yet they are exchanging words."Hey, Evelyn Brown, I don't know you are here!" She replied and Evelyn smiled, not feeling the word a bit.What does she mean by she doesn't know sis is here, I believe she intentionally accepted the contract so she could insult sis, Amber thought."Oh, are you sure the face surgery is not affecting your vision, Ms. Viola Spooner?" Evelyn retorted and Viola turned red in anger.Evelyn looks at Viola's cocky face with a smile."You girls can chat later."Before Viola could reply Mr. Ronald quickly interfered so as to not prolong the fight.They started the shoot, Viola was made to stand beside Evelyn, Viola was still jealous because Evelyn was given the perfume while she was given their soap.Evelyn was not taught how to do it because she is an expert, Mr. Cladius was the one telling Viola what to do, it seems she forgot everything in the accident.She became embarrassed because she was being taught what to do, at a point she shouted at Mr. Cladius.Even though Stephen and Nathan, including Mr. Ronald, do their best to protect the models away from the reporters, the reporters still find their way in.Everything that happened was captured by the reporters.Viola stepped on Evelyn's toe knowingly and the photographer was told to stop."I'm so sorry, Brown!" She begged deceitfully and Evelyn still had that superior smile which annoyed Viola the most.Amber quickly rushed to Evelyn with a handkerchief, she used the handkerchief to clean Evelyn's leg."You should see an optician, Spooner!, You need to treat your eyes" Evelyn gave out her bombing word."You need not worry about that, it's my business, Brown!" Viola replied."Thanks for the compliment…. water please" Evelyn said and Amber handed a chilled bottle of water.Evelyn gulps the water and hands back the bottle to Amber.They stopped for a moment and everyone was given one hour to rest."I will treat you all to lunch, bills on me!" Evelyn said and everyone cheered.They settled at five star restaurants and everyone ordered their desired food.Viola couldn't stoop so low to eat anything or collect anything from Evelyn and moreover she is on diet.Brussel sprouts and green tea was all she was having.Mr. Cladius gave her the go ahead to eat her lunch, she only had coffee.Evelyn had Omelette and bread.Everyone was done with the food and Evelyn presented her black card, the attendant wanted to remove the bills when Viola showed up."I will pay for my coffee" Viola said but Evelyn did not care as she told the attendant to exclude the coffee amount.The shoot finally ended and everyone was going to their different company when Viola started up a conversation."Omelette and bread, isn't supposed to be for models, what did you think of Brown?" Viola asked.Evelyn knew she was emphasizing on what she had for lunch, so she tried to play along."Well, my figure allows me to take bread and omelette but those with thick faces will be diagnosed with brussel sprouts and green tea…. You see" Evelyn said and entered the bus.All over social media were the news of Evelyn Brown and Viola Spooner.It was time for Evelyn's to go home, she has this sorrowful face, finally she is going to her betrothed house.Drake was driven to his penthouse, Johnny Mudrock was told to go and wait for Evelyn at the Brown's mansion.Evelyn finally got the courage to go to the Browns mansion.She smiles sadly when she saw the Valentino's customized in front of the car, she knew the eye patch guy is in the house already.She got inside the house, she went directly to Mrs. Brown, she hugged Mrs. Brown dearly.Johnny Mudrock was standing since he got into their house and he was already fed up with the way the mother and daughter are doing."Ms. Brown, let's go quickly" He said but Evelyn ignored him, she took the stairs up to her room.She shed tears in her room, she was going to leave the house that is full of her childhood memories.She hugged her mum for the final time before getting into the car with Johnny Mudrock.She looks at the Brown mansion one last time before the driver zooms off.Johnny Mudrock drove to Drake Valentino's penthouse immediately.Evelyn looks at the house, it's more bigger than the Brown mansion and at the front of the house, DRAKE VALENTINO PENTHOUSE was written boldly in capital letters.One young girl, one old lady and one old man came out of the mansion.They bow to Evelyn and welcome her with a smile."Welcome, young madam I'm Vicki, the chef" The old lady said and Evelyn changed her face."I'm not old, call me Evelyn madam" Evelyn replied and the woman smiled because of Evelyn's politeness."Hi, young madam, I'm Agnes, the cleaner" The young girl introduced herself with a smile.Evelyn noted their name in her brain."Hi, young madam, I'm Jameson the butler" The old man said and Evelyn applauded before introducing herself."I'm Evelyn Brown" She said and Johnny Mudrock stepped forward."Evelyn Valentino" He corrected and Evelyn rolled her eyes."She is the madam of the house now, she is to be respected the way a young master is respected, '' Johnny Mudrock announced and the three nodded.He got back into the car and the driver zoomed off.He thought the girl is going to be shocked when she finds out who her husband is, he really pity her, the girl doesn't have a choice but to accept, if she isn't ready to accept then she is gonna find herself on Mrs. Valentino black list.The two ladies and the butler lead Evelyn into the house.They are starting to like her already, she seems calm to them."What would you like to eat? Young madam?" The old lady asked."Madam, I told you not to call me madam, call me by my name, Evelyn!" Evelyn replied and the woman sighs because of Evelyn's obstinacy."No madam, if the old madam ever heard that I call you by name, then I should be ready to leave the house" The old lady replied."But, old madam isn't here now and whatever I say is a command" She said and the old lady nodded."Same goes to Butler Jameson and Agnes."She replied and a voice distracted them."Butler Jameson, I told you I want to watch cartoons, can't you do that for me?" Drake said and Evelyn stared at him in shock.'He is truly the CEO Drake Valentino, Anonymous' Evelyn thought and Drake also stared at her.He was also shocked to find out that Anonymous 2 is the one she is getting married to.So he decided to continue his act."Who is this, Butler Jameson?" He asked."She is your bride, Mr. Drake" Butler Jameson replied and he started coming closer to Evelyn.The butler and the two ladies quickly leave the place.Evelyn shifts backward while Drake moves closer, he is intentionally doing this.Evelyn shifted backward till she got to the wall and Drake caged her to the wall."Nice to meet you, wifey," He whispered into her ear, making Evelyn shiver.He smiles and shifts away from her."This face looks familiar," He said.Chapter 11Before Evelyn would arrive, different thoughts flew into Drake's mind.Should I tell her about my predicament also?Should I behave normal to her?He had to test her first to see whether she can be trusted or not.So, he will show her his moron side."This face looks familiar," He said to Evelyn.Evelyn thought she would pretend not to know him, he was also behaving like the pervert he is now.Almost caging her in the wall, their first meeting he wanted to sit on her leg."Of course not, I don't know you," Evelyn replied."Alright" He replied and nodded slightly before sitting on the couch in the living room."Butler Jameson, I want to watch cartoons!" He whined, almost scaring Evelyn.Is he for real, a billionaire…. not a CEO as the internet states, begging the butler to help him put on a cartoon, Evelyn couldn't believe her ears.Butler Jameson rushed down hur
Chapter 12They two couldn't sleep throughout the night, they were lost in thought.Evelyn was very conscious, she was being afraid since they said he was a moron, he might try to act funny.She had her high heel with her, she would shove the heel into his moron skull.Drake was thinking of a way to go back to his company and what his mum's new strategy was.But the two were not aware that the other wasn't sleeping.Mrs. Brown also wasn't able to sleep, she shifted from side to side thinking of her beloved daughter.How she is sleeping and how she is faring, if she wasn't feeling cold or feverish because they were several times in the midnight that she would cover Evelyn properly with the duvet. Next Morning,Evelyn was in the bathroom, she has already forgotten that it is not her room.She didn't remember to take the towel along with her.She peep out of the bathroom to see whether the moron is not in and thanks to her star, the moron is not in the room.Evelyn tiptoed nakedly into
Chapter 13Evelyn chuckled, the perverted moron telling her not to be late.Butler Jameson wanted to follow her but she declined.But a personal driver was given to her, Evelyn can't get used to it, she has been taught how to drive since she was eighteen.Won't this create suspicions among her colleagues, she suddenly came to the company with a driver.She wasn't able to reject the driver, the butler said it was an order from the madam.She was unsatisfied, she didn't have her freedom to drive anymore and second, she wasn't allowed to use all her cars, they are all in the Brown's parking lot.Even though she is unsatisfied, there are a lot of things she is happy about, the first one was that she was not forced to get a ring.Second, the world didn't know about the marriage and third, her betrothed is a moron.She sat in the back seat while the driver zoomed off."Hello, I'm going to ANNING" She said
Chapter 14"Don't ever touch her again, I am the only one who has the right to touch her… did you get me" Gold said to the receptionist girl who nodded her head repeatedly.The slap which Gold returns was ear deafening and her lips and Ava lips are bursted.Gold was sad because the receptionist slapped Ava, and the receptionist was cheating her because she is a cleaner.'Did he need to promote her instantly?' He thought.After Ava is done with the hotel cleaning every morning, She would usually go home to check on her granny and come back to the hotel.The receptionist walked to her place, she was still in shock about the reason Gold would slap her.Was that because of that filthy thing called Ava, whose body was that of a wretched girl.Why would Ava slap him and he would still be laughing and while Ava was playing hard to get, she willingly opened her leg for him and he had her right on her receptionist desk on Sun
Chapter 15The driver drove Evelyn straight to The Valentino's mansion, the driver entered the parking lot, he turned off the ignition.And it seems they are waiting for her already, there were several bodyguards who were in suits.One of them opens the car door for Evelyn and she steps out elegantly like a queen she was.As she steps up, the bodyguards all bow to her including the one that opens the car door for her.Evelyn was a little frightened as it is not like this in the Brown mansion, but she thought she had to get used to it, there are a lot more coming her way.The same bodyguard that opened the door for her led her in."Young madam please you have to wait for a while, this is exactly chairwoman leisure time and she is taking a nap" Johnny Mudrock said leading her towards the couch.Evelyn was lost of words, their so called chairwoman told the driver to bring her and she was here now to be told that the cha
Chapter 16The chef took Evelyn to the kitchen as an order by Evelyn to teach her how to cook."What are we cooking?" Evelyn asked."What did you want to know madam?" The chef asked."How to make pancakes… mum has always made it for me and I wanted to surprise her and make it for her whenever I visited her" Evelyn replied and the chef smiled."Alright, ma'am, we should get to work," The chef said. Drake was well aware of his mother's tricks and tactics, he was aware that the CCTV camera was all in the house and the only place where there is no camera is the bathroom.He went directly to the bathroom and he dialed his PA's number."Hello sir!" The voice at the other end came out."How is the company?" Drake asked."Just this afternoon, The chairwoman sent the guy Johnny Mudrock for inspection and I was told the company will welcome a new Director sooner or later" He replied.Drake was not surprised, this is what he had been expecting, his guess was right, the chairwoman was looking for
Chapter 17 Immediately he said those words, Mr. Finn punched his face while the stupid fellow staggered back. People in the restaurant didn’t come to his aid because people know it’s his fault, he was trying to molest a married woman. ”Hey, I could give you money and you could hand over your wife to me like trade by barter” He said with a smile and Amber, who Mrs. Finn wasn’t aware of her presence, giggled. Amber thought that the punch isn’t enough for him, he needs a severe punishment much worse than a punch. ”You still have the gut to be sprouting out nonsense, did you hit your head before coming here” Amber butt in and Mrs. Finn gasps because this is the first time Amber would come to her restaurant. ”Hey, you are also pretty, you should be mine also” He winked at Amber, Mr. Finn was totally furious, he punched the fool over his wife, not him wanting to molest his child also. Before Mr. Finn was a taxi driver, he had a black belt in judo. He flips the stupido over his should
Chapter 18 "How dare you pull my hair? Did you want to hurt my scalp… you this lower wretch" Viola shouted and Mr. Spooner gasped. This is exactly what he was saying, he should learn how to control her anger. They were trying to control her now that she has spoiled beyond repair. "This is what I'm saying Viola, you should know how to control your anger…. If you can't control it, then you should hide it till the time you will become American face, huh!" Mr. Spooner said. "Dad, did you mean I shouldn't slap this worthless thing that pulls my hair…. And you talking about the fans, I don't care what they think, I will behave as before" Viola replied and she dashed towards her room. "Why will you annoy her… you know those fans you said didn't like my daughter… when she got into the accident, they didn't care for her… she shouldn't show them mercy now that she is back" Mrs. Spooner said and Mr. Spooner nodded. Truly, his daughter and wife are correct. They shouldn't care about those f
Chapter 95 Drake's eyes fixed on Evelyn's pale face, his mind racing with worry as they rushed her to the hospital. The ambulance sirens blared in his ears, but he barely registered the sound. His heart felt like it was being squeezed in a vise, threatening to burst from his chest.As they arrived at the hospital, Drake's anxiety reached a fever pitch. He paced back and forth in the waiting room, his eyes darting to the door every time it swung open. Mrs. Brown tried to comfort him, but he was beyond consolation."What's taking so long?" he muttered, his voice laced with frustration and fear. "She's been in there for hours. What if... what if something's wrong?"Mrs. Brown placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Drake, the doctor will come soon. Try to stay calm."But Drake couldn't calm down. His mind was a jumble of worst-case scenarios, his imagination running wild with fears for Evelyn's safety and well-being.Finally, the door sw
Chapter 94Drake's eyes never left Viola's face during the video call, but his mind was racing with a plan. He had already sent his secret agent, Alex, to the location Viola had specified, anticipating her demands.As soon as the call ended, Drake swiftly gathered the properties papers and headed out the door, his heart pounding with anticipation. He knew Alex would be in position, ready to strike.Drake arrived at the address, a dilapidated warehouse on the outskirts of town. He took a deep breath, his hand on the papers in his pocket, and stepped inside.The dimly lit space was eerily quiet, the only sound the creaking of old wooden beams. Drake's eyes scanned the area, his senses on high alert.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Viola. Her eyes gleamed with triumph, her smile twisted and cruel."Welcome, Drake," she sneered. "I see you brought the papers. How nice of you."Drake's eyes locked onto hers, his
Chapter 93Drake paced back and forth in his empty house, his mind racing with worry. He had tried every possible way to reach Evelyn, but she was nowhere to be found. He had called her phone, her friends, her family - no one had seen or heard from her.Desperate for answers, he had hired several private investigators to track her down. But so far, they had turned up nothing.The Valentino's mansion was in turmoil. The servants were frantically searching for their mistress, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.Drake's anxiety was palpable. He couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. He was consumed by the thought of Evelyn being in danger.He had tried to reach out to Viola, but she was nowhere to be found. He suspected she was behind Evelyn's disappearance, but he had no proof.As the hours ticked by, Drake's desperation grew. He knew he had to find Evelyn before it was too late. But where could she be? And who was behind her dis
Chapter 92Ava walked alongside her roommate, Sophia, as they left the lecture hall. They were both pre-med students, and the professor had just finished explaining a complex concept in pharmacology.Sophia shook her head, "I didn't understand anything the professor was saying. I'm so lost."Ava smiled patiently, "It's okay, I got it. Let me explain it to you."As they walked to their dorm room, Ava broke down the concept into simpler terms, and Sophia's eyes widened with understanding."Wow, Ava, you're a genius! I don't know what I'd do without you," Sophia said, grateful.Just then, Ava's phone beeped, indicating a video had been sent to her. She hesitated for a moment before opening the message. Her world came crashing down as she saw the video of Gold, her boyfriend, in bed with another girl.Ava's eyes froze on the screen, her mind reeling in shock. She felt like she'd been punched in the gut. Sophia, obliviou
Chapter 91Drake Valentino stepped into his office, his demeanor transforming from romantic to ruthless. His staff greeted him with respect, dressed in crisp business attire, their faces professional. The Valentino Corporation headquarters buzzed with activity, the sleek, modern decor exuding luxury and success."Good morning, sir," his assistant, George, said, approaching him. "Your meeting with the British client is scheduled for now. They're waiting in the conference room.""Very well, George," Drake replied, his voice firm. "Let's get down to business."With George by his side, Drake entered the conference room, his stride confident. The British client, Mr. Johnson, stood up, extending a hand."Good morning, Mr. Valentino," Mr. Johnson said, his accent posh. "A pleasure to finally meet you in person.""The pleasure is mine, Mr. Johnson," Drake replied, shaking his hand firmly. "I trust you're ready to discuss the terms o
Chapter 90Hand in hand, Drake and Evelyn walked into the living room, expecting a quiet morning together. But to their surprise, the servants had prepared a special gift for them. It wasn't something costly, but the thought and effort put into it was priceless."Wow, this is amazing!" Evelyn exclaimed, her eyes widening at the beautifully arranged breakfast spread before them."We wanted to do something special for you both," Mrs. Jenkins said, her eyes shining with warmth. "You deserve it, after all you've been through.""Thank you so much, this is incredible," Drake said, his voice filled with gratitude.As they sat down to enjoy their breakfast, the servants couldn't help but giggle and gossip about the couple."I can't believe how far they've come," Agnes said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Remember when Viola tried to cause trouble between them?""Oh, dear, that was a trying time," Mrs. Jenkins added, shakin
Chapter 89The couples stumbled into the fifth round of the Game of Love Challenge, laughing and joking. Maxine announced, "For the final round, we're playing 'Love Confessions'! Each of you will write a heartfelt letter to your partner, sharing your deepest feelings and desires."The couples scribbled away, their faces flushed with excitement and alcohol. When they finished, Maxine collected the letters and announced, "Now, let's exchange them and read them aloud!"The couples exchanged letters, their eyes scanning the pages as they read their partner's confessions. Some laughed, some cried, and others blushed bright red.After the game, the couples stumbled out of the venue, arm in arm, laughing and joking. They hailed taxis and headed to their respective destinations, still buzzing from the game and the alcohol.Amber and Nathan tumbled into their taxi, giggling and kissing. They gave the driver a vague address and collapsed into the back s
Gold began his song while his guitar was also with him."In the moment I saw you, my heart beat fastI knew in that instant, our love would forever lastYour eyes shined bright like diamonds in the nightAnd I knew I'd spend forever, making you my delightYour touch ignites a fire that never fades awayWith you by my side, I know we'll face each new dayOur love is a flame that burns bright and trueForever and always, my heart belongs to youIn your eyes, I see a love so pure and realA love that fills my heart and makes my soul feelLike I'm home, like I'm where I'm meant to beWith you, my love, is where I'm free to be meSo let us cherish every moment we shareLet our love be the anchor that holds us together, always thereThrough every up and down, through every high and lowForever and always, our love will forever glow"As Gold sings this romantic ballad, the room is filled with a war
Chapter 87Evelyn tried to focus on what the client was saying, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach since Amber's cryptic message. Her husband, Young Master Valentino, was in trouble, and she needed to know what was going on.As soon as the photoshoot wrapped up, Evelyn excused herself and frantically searched for Amber. But her assistant was nowhere to be found. Panic set in as she realized she was alone and didn't know what to do.She rushed to Mr. Ronald's office, her boss and head of the agency. "Mr. Ronald, have you seen Amber? I need to speak with her urgently."Mr. Ronald looked up from his desk, concern etched on his face. "Evelyn, what's wrong? You look distraught.""I am," Evelyn replied, her voice shaking. "Amber sent me a strange message, and I can't find her anywhere."Mr. Ronald's expression turned serious. "I'm afraid Amber and Nathan just left th
