Chapter 5
"Where are you going all of a sudden? Aren't we friends anymore?" A blonde girl who is painting her nails on a couch asked."Yeah, I don't also understand the reason she has been packing" Another girl said, entering into the sitting room where Viola and the blonde were arguing."I'm going back to America since I'm done with my surgery" Viola replied checking the time."It's past 1 and my flight is at 2"."Viola, are we even friends, you didn't bother to tell us you are going back to America, is that what a true friend does?" The blondie replied, dropping the paint bottle and crossing her arms."You guys are funny, wouldn't I go back to my modelling career, and I have to go and possess my possession I left there, is that clear guys…..and I have been hearing that, that shabby girl Evelyn is growing more popular day by day, so I need to go back" she replied dressing her hair."So, if we didn't ask, you are gonna leave Paris for America without telling us… well it's your call though, you should go back" The other girl replied.Viola stood up from the couch, she engulfed them into a bone cracking hug."I'm so sorry guys, I'm just in a hurry" She replied checking her wristwatch."Time to go, will give you a call when I get to America" She replied, wheeling her traveling bag out."Yeah, whatever" The girl chorused while she smiled and left.Viola Spooner, a top high ranking model like Evelyn Brown.She is the second child of the billionaire family Spooner and a model to A.N.JELL company, although their wealth can't be compared with the Browns, but Spooner's are also known.Viola Spooner was the exact opposite of Evelyn Brown, she is very rude, she is a little taller than Evelyn, but her cleavage and beauty cannot be compared with that of Evelyn.She is twenty three years old.She also has a bad temper and she is known for being unfriendly to her fans.But all this was Spooner's fault, she turned into a spoiled brat because they pampered her because she is their only daughter.The Spooner and Valentino family are business partners.Viola Spooner knows Mrs. Valentino very well because her parents often take her along when they are visiting Valentino for a friendly dinner.Rumor had it that the famous model, Viola Spooner got into an accident, the rumor is true though, she got into an accident.Her beautiful face was totally ruined, she was treated in America and the accident left some scars.She can't withstand being made fun of or embarrassed, so she travelled immediately to Paris for a plastic surgery.The plastic surgery lasted for two years because her body is filled with scars.After the surgery she stayed for one more year with her friends in Paris.She boarded the plane and used a nose mask so as not to be found out.She was seated at the Vip section but still some fans saw her face and they started to murmur.Am I seeing things?!Isn't that A.N JELL model that was involved in an accident?I thought she was dead!"Everyone should be quiet please and fasten your seatbelt please, we are about landing!" A hostess voice came out in the plane megaphone.People became quiet and after some minutes, the plane landed in America.Viola got out of the plane, and close to ten bodyguards were already waiting for her with two SUVs.The leader of the bodyguard bowed immediately when she saw Viola, he collected the traveling bag."It's been long, Ms. Viola," he mutters with a smile."Yeah!" She replied shortly and the bodyguard shook his head.'The young miss grumpy nature didn't leave her even though she went for brain reshuffling' he thought and broke into a smile suddenly earning a glare from Viola.He quickly composed himself and said."You are looking more beautiful though."He replied while she ignored him and entered the SUV.The leader of the bodyguard drives her while the rest follow her with the second SUV. ****"Why will sis run away when we are in the middle of surprising her?" Amber asked no one in particular."Well I saw the guy's face, it's her music idol crush!" Nathan replied and Amber glared at her.He looked down immediately, well he has been keeping the gift given to them by Value restaurant because Amber didn't collect it and since then the awkwardness has grown more than before.After Evelyn left with the guy, they all sat down looking at the chairs in the room."Is Evelyn dating that playboy?" Mr. Ronald asked Amber."Nope, sis just like him, he is like her celebrity crush" Amber replied with a smile."But I heard he has numerous girlfriends," Stephen said.Amber took her phone and logged into her social media, she was anticipating if there will be any feedback from Valentino Drake to his fans.The social media handles have had his pictures since yesterday, but they haven't heard a reply from him."Well what happened to the billionaire, Drake Valentino, he hasn't replied to his fans' ' A trainee said."Yes, I think his manager said he is on a business trip to India or china" Stephen said and a trainee stood up."Can't believe this!."She mutters and they all look at her."What?" They chorused, including Mr. Ronald."Viola Spooner is back!" She dropped the bomb and they all started to bring their phones out."Vio what, didn't they say she travelled?" Amber said showing them her picture when she was getting out of the plane."But I almost didn't recognize her or did she have a surgery?" Nathan said."It seems we have to prepare Evelyn, her competitor has been back," Mr. Ronald said loudly."Yeah, but I don't think we should tell sis" Amber said."Yes" They chorused and logged out, out of their social media. ****"Happy birthday, I wanted to come yesterday, but I'm busy with a concert!" Gold said, flipping the strand of hair that fell on Evelyn's eyes flirtatiously.They were in a cafeGold Fernandez is a well known kpop singer and a soloist, and a big playboy and pant chaser.He has slept with almost all the actresses, small models and some popular ones but not only models, he deals with actresses also.He pierced almost every part of his body.He can go to every length because of women.Evelyn often goes to his concerts, the only thing she likes about him is his voice."Yeah, thank you!" Evelyn replied shortly."I bought flowers for you!" He said handing out the flowers to her.Evelyn smiles cheerfully because it's her favorite flower, rose!"How do you know that rose is my favorite?" Evelyn asked, perceiving the beautiful scent of the flowers."Oh, that you don't need to know!" He replied licking his lower lips flirtatiously.Evelyn knows immediately that he is flirting, well that is Gold she knows by the way."You are beautiful, nope…. Sexy!" He grins showing his tongue ring.That was when Evelyn looked at her strapless gown and gasped, she then remembered she was in the middle of a surprise birthday.She checked her phone and there was no call.One of the cafe staff saw Gold and rushed there."Hello, Mr. Gold, is it you or am I seeing things?" She asked."It's obviously me, baby girl," Gold replied stylishly, putting a hotel card in her hand.The girl smiled and asked what they wanted."Oh, it's Miss. Evelyn also, I'm seeing two celebrities at once" The girl said and Evelyn smiled."What would you like Evelyn?" Gold asked."I'm going back, I don't want anything" Evelyn stood up with a smile.She saw Gold when he gave the girl the hotel card. ****"Welcome back daughter!" Mr. Spooner said, engulfing her in a hug."Thanks dad, I miss you" She replied with a smile."And you are looking more beautiful!" Mrs. Spooner added."So will you take my company now that you are back?" Mr. Spooner asked."Of course not dad, is brother dead? I came here to continue my modelling career and I promise to make it to the top and destroy every barrier or obstacle in my way, "she replied."Your brother doesn't want to take the property, you know he doesn't listen to us, but I will support anything you want… about you going back to your modelling career go on and be the head my daughter" Mr. Spooner encourages and she smiles."So where shall we help you to start from?" Mrs. Spooner asked."How about me going back to industry, everyone knows that I'm back and reporters will seek an interview," She replied."Yes, that is good, I will make arrangements on A.N JELL, you just need to resume whenever you want" Mr. Spooner said."Thank you dad!" She replied and smirked.Evelyn Brown, let's see how you are going to maintain the top model forever!.Chapter 6"I have to go back to ANNING!" Evelyn said.Gold had a dissatisfied look, he thought Evelyn would at least fall for his charm and maybe it will later reach the stage of them branching to the hotel and getting laid."Oh..h why wouldn't you have a drink?" He stuttered, scratching the back of his neck angrily."Nope, seriously, I'm good and they will be probably waiting for me, got to go" Evelyn replied standing up."Then should I drop you off?" He asked."I wouldn't want to bother!" Evelyn replied and left the restaurant.Throughout the time Evelyn is with him, she is only seeing the guy who called himself an anonymous face on Gold face and she doesn't understand a bit."Shit! That chick escaped, what do I do? I need to fu**k!" He mutters under his breath looking around for whoever would be his prey.He smiles when he sees the girl and he snuggles his hotel card in her hand.The girl walked
Chapter 7"Welcome to Valentino family, daughter-in-law" Mrs. Valentino said with a smile and left with her minionsEvelyn bites her lower lips hard, almost making the lips bleed in anger.She knows the greeting isn't a normal one but a deadly one that will always remind her that she just got her hands in shackles.Mrs. Brown engulfed her in a hug and she whispered quietly in Evelyn's ear."It will be okay daughter!."Evelyn used the medium, she hugged her mum really tight and inhaled softly before disengaging from the hug."I will go to ANNING now."She replied and picked up her car key and hand bag and dashed out of the house.She arrived at the parking lot, hopped into a black Porsche and drove out of Brown mansion. ****"Viola! Is this really you" Mr. Cladius said, wanting to hug her but she ducked, making him fall down."I'm back, I want you to make me the number one model in the
Chapter 8Nathan couldn't sleep a wink yesterday because the rejection kept ranging in his ear and it hurt him badly.He kept changing his sleeping posture till morning.And Amber also feels guilty that she shouldn't have talked to him like that.Evelyn doesn't want to believe that Drake Valentino is her husband.She thought she was going to believe until she set her eyes on him. Drake Valentino was also anticipating who the girl he is gonna marry will be. ****Drake Valentino, Mrs. Valentino and Johnny Mudrock are in the living room.Johnny Mudrock stood to obey Mrs. Valentino's command.Drake was licking an ice cream making them think he is a fool to hear their discussion."Mudrock, I want you to go to Brown mansion with ten maids, her belongings should be in Drake penthouse as soon as possible."Mrs. Valentino mutters to Johnny Mudrock who bows his head in response and leaves.
Chapter 9Evelyn looks up with a smile."In your dream will I Evelyn bow to you not in reality, so it's true that you are back, huh?" Evelyn replied, crossing her arms."Of course I'm back, don't you supposed to feel scared, now that I'm back" Viola said.Evelyn starts to shiver playfully."Gosh, I'm scared!" Evelyn mocked with a grin and Viola smirked."We will see who will have the last smile" Viola whispers and Evelyn walks to her with a smile."I don't feel scared or insecure because of you, it will be good now that I have an opponent, I'm bored of being the only popular model," Evelyn replied, pinching her brow."I don't have time for your rant, compensate me for the damaged car" Viola said."Oh, did you become so poor after reviving from the death, and I Evelyn doesn't have a dine to pay you" Evelyn replied fearlessly."You bitch!" Viola fumed through gritted teeth."Plastic face
Chapter 10Mr. 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.
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 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
