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. Viola's breath got hitch in her throat and she almost staggered but thanks to her star she was standing nex
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. The fact that Viola had started modeling for ANNING and her sponsor was the Valentino's Chairwoman herself isn't hidden from her.The Valentino's Chairwoman looked calm on the outside but she was deeply furious, how dare this
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

She doesn't want to talk to him and he should respect that but no! Gold was taken aback by the slap, his face stings and he felt it with his hand, it was slightly hot and swollen. He slowly looked up and met her eyes, Ava could swear, she saw the hurt and pain on his face like he was pitiful, why is he acting like this, did he want to make her feel guilty. Gold averted his gaze and he slowly walked back to where he was seated before. Ava sighs and bites her lower lips, could she have done it wrong? She was just frustrated and fed up with his attention here and there, she felt he acted like a pest or leeches around her but why does she feel bad after slapping him? This is what she wants right, she has slapped him and he walked away from her, that means no more disturbance, she fidget with the mop in her hand and looks over to the p

Chapter 77“Breakfast is ready.” Viola muttered followed by scoffs from several people, Evelyn only smiled.Drake rubbed his temple in frustration. First he is getting irritated by Evelyn, now there is another person to add to his frustration.Drake clears his throat announcing his presence to Viola who was busy dishing out the food. Viola gasps dramatically and quickly opened her hand bag, she brings out her mirror and checked herself if she looks presentable to be able to face Drake.Evelyn's mouth can't help but to twitched, the girl is truly an attention seeker.She turned to Drake and smiled, “You are here, good morning Drake.” Drake was startled, why was she greeting him with that ugly smile of hers, her face really looking like a burnt cake.Drake's mouth curved up in irritation, “Why are you here again?” Viola feigned hurt and pouted, “I'm here to make breakfast for you.”“Oh, did you think that th

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

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

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.
