"Would I be free from you after six months?"

How can he not understand that she was trying to see through his tricks? Of course he wouldn't show any reaction not to make her doubt him.And what does she mean by she would be free from him, is he a devil to her?"Then it's a done deal" Evelyn replied, sizing him up."The contract will be prepared by my Personal assistant when we get back," He gazed at her and the corner of his mouth curve secretly before disappearing as if it didn't appear.Evelyn nodded, not seeing the sly smile on his lips because her attention wasChapter 67Evelyn and Drake have arrived safely, but Evelyn was still giving him the cold shoulder which he can't do anything about, his Evelyn seems to hold grudges.

And to thank you for arranging the marriage between the young master and Miss Evelyn because she is their lucky star.” The Chairwoman Valentino stood up suddenly.Her eyes narrowed and brow furrowed, showing alertness. Her face hardened, she clutched tightly at the hem of her dress, even Johnny Mudrock has the same expression as her.“Didn't the psychologist say it's only fate that will determine if he can go back to his senses or not, how did he suddenl
Chapter 69When Viola Spooner received a call from Johnny Mudrock, she was so excited that even her parents wondered if she was really the Viola they knew, even the maids gossipped.Why won't she be happy when the Valentino's Chairwoman invites her out.“What happened to the she-devil recently, has her menopause period been over?” One of the maid who was cleaning the kitchen gossip with the other who was washing the dishes.The maid sigh suddenly and later shook her head, “You better caution your mouth, lest it lands you into trouble and what did you know, ever since she received the Valentino's family call, she has been acting weird, she neither cause trouble at home and you know what she didn't even quarrel with her parents like always.”The other maid widened her eyes in shock, it's obvious that she loves gossiping, “But how do you know that,” She suddenly remembered something and she was so shocked that she stuttered, “A… are… you talking

Chapter 71Viola's brow raised in pride, at least someone knows her just by hearing her voice. But wait, why does the voice sound so familiar and why is the person coming from Drake's room. Everyone was startled with Evelyn's voice and almost at the same time all of their gaze fell towards the staircase.Her steps were light as she descended from the stairs. She was in a comfy light gown which didn't hide her gorgeous figure. Compared to someone who looks like a slut, she looks decent just like an angel that descended from heaven, Drake thought while looking at her.Viola brow furrowed and she looked curiously at the source of the voice, her frown deepened when she notice was taking a light step as if she was some sort of queen.Then the familiar hateful face she loathed got down, her face was void of makeup, she looks flawless, clean and decent.

Chapter 72Viola was shivering badly as if she got the flu, only Evelyn knew that it's only the fire of jealousy that was burning in Viola's heart.She looks at the Chairwoman Valentino, her eyes playing the victim card but seeing that there weren't any changes on the Valentino's Chairwoman's face, she turns towards Drake Valentino whose attention is all diverted towards Evelyn.Everyone could see he was looking at her sensually, especially in that dress that makes her look like an angel.She walks slowly to Drake and stands in front of him, her eyes have become red and tears rolled down her cheek and her makeup becomes smudge while she looks absolutely like a clown.Evelyn wanted to laugh but she bit her lower lips to control her laughter while Drake was looking at Viola like she is a joke to entertain them.Viola looks at Drake's with her pitiful smudge face, her chest heaves continuously and she speaks slowly,“Why do you
Chapter 73Viola was fed with enough love from the couple that she almost vomited and even the person who brought her there wasn't helping, she just sat silently like a dumbo watching the drama unfold.Even Evelyn was intentionally making Viola die in fury, she turned her gaze to Viola whose face had become red from jealousy, of co she was going to make Viola face hell.And shifted her gaze to the Valentino's Chairwoman who was leisurely sipping her tea as if she wasn't the one who brewed this drama. The Valentino's Chairwoman soon noticed that someone was boring a hole in her body, she looked up and she met with Evelyn's snobbish face which held a proud smirk.They thought she was a fool and she doesn't have connections.

Chapter 74Drake sigh wearily, she is always reminding him that they are not going to be together in six months time.“I haven't forgotten, so stop reminding me, Eve.” She smirked and replied coldly, “You better not!”He nodded and decided to go straight to the point as to why he had to come to meet her, “ Well, you witnessed whatever happened in the living room, I hope you know what the Chairwoman was planning and she is not going to stop until she pushes Viola into this house.” “So?”“So, please, since we've already had a six month contract, I want us to act as a loving couple in the presence of the Chairwoman and Viola.” He replied and Evelyn nodded.Drake was surprised that she agreed easily, he thought he had to convince her before she could agree, he sighed and shook his head. Someone should remind him never to offend Evelyn whatsoever ever, she loves keeping malice.“Evelyn, I really had my reasons for disgu

He paced back and forth in the waiting room, his eyes darting to the door every time it swung open.

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

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
