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 to him, she couldn't glance up at his face.She had her head low, blushing heavily, the god of Cassanova is in front of her, of course she would blush heavily.Gold used her finger to lift her jaw up flirtatiously and not only the girl's cheek turned red, her ears also went down red."You should look me in the eyes if we are getting down together!" Gold said stylishly, holding her finger."What did you think? Should we get down to business in Gold hotel or what?" He asked, bringing out his tongue slightly showing her his tongue ring."Ye..yes, my time is over and another person has taken over, we can go!" She stuttered and he spank her ass."Yeah, good girl!" He replied and stood.He escorts her to his car and drives her to Gold hotel, the hotel he owns.Gold had seen almost all of his female staff pants except one lady Ava.She hates to see him not to talk of getting laid with him but Gold has promised the girl that she will willingly take off her pants for him which isn't possible till today. ****"Sis, why can't you call any of us to bring your car but are you sure that pervert didn't get down with you?" Amber whispers, earning a knock on her head from Evelyn.She rubbed the spot and pouted."So I'm here now, I'm sorry I left you guys, it's just that it's been a long time since I saw Gold, let's continue!" Evelyn said."Yes, we should!" They all shouted and Evelyn chuckled.It's pretty obvious that they didn't want to tell her that Viola is back and they want to cover it."You guys shouldn't chicken out, I know already that Viola is back, I have my phone, remember" She replied and they gasp, including Mr. Ronald."Well we shouldn't all chicken out and show them ANNING is the born leader, Viola or Violet, I don't need to fret" Evelyn added and they all smiled.Evelyn just brightened up their mood, she herself doesn't know where the courage comes from, she knows Viola very well because they attended the same highschool, before she got into the accident, she is always finding a means to steal the spotlight wherever party they both attended."So guys, let's cut the cake," Stephen grins."Yes, by the spell of Evelyn!" They chorused.They play with the cake, using it to rub each other's nose and talk about some random stuff before Evelyn shoots for Skincare.After some minutes"Amber, I really want you to advise me on the marriage, I don't know what to decide and I promise mum to give her a reply today!" Evelyn said to Amber."Sis, don't you think there is more reason to it while Mrs. Brown is insisting you should get married, don't you think maybe your property will be the groom's family if you didn't marry them" Amber suggested."But sis, this is your life, whatever that will favour and not hurt you, you should decide, I will advise you to think thoroughly, can you tell me the name of the family maybe I know them.""I didn't even bother to ask, I left in anger" Evelyn replied."So sis, decide for yourself what is good" Amber added and left.Evelyn stayed there for some time thinking before she bade them all, bye and left in her car.She got home and a sweet aroma of pancakes welcomed her, she didn't hesitate a bit.She made her way to the kitchen and Mrs. Brown was in apron making pancakes."Hi, Mrs. Brown!" Evelyn said with her hand up."You are back at four Ms. Brown, wassup?" Mrs. Brown asked and Evelyn immediately looked dull."Well, that will not be my case, because whether I like it or not, Ms. Brown will turn to Mrs" Evelyn said with a sigh.Mrs. Brown turned towards her and hugged her with the glove in her hand."You don't need to be sad, daughter. I promise to be there for you. if the guy is ugly, you should use an eye patch so as not to see him" She said and Evelyn smiled."Nevertheless you didn't say I should come back home but to use eye patch, is it true that you aren't telling me something I don't know about this betrothed thing?" Evelyn asked and Mrs. Brown looked down and looked at her eyes again."If you don't marry her son all our properties will be willed to them!" Mrs. Brown replied and Evelyn gasped."Mum, dad went as far as that, whereas I can't even question him now" Evelyn cried, Mrs. Brown rubbed her back pacifying her."So does that mean you've agreed?" Mrs. Brown asked."Yes, call them tomorrow that I'm ready" She replied and Mrs. Brown hugged her dearly."So, mum I will eat all the pancakes you make, I will eat the last food you will make for me" Evelyn cried."Ye..yes daughter, eat it all, when you are married you can call me and I will bring whatever you want to you" Mrs. Brown also cried.She also needs to be pacified, but what can she do? Nobody is there to pacify her. It saddens her that her only child has to be the sacrifice of her father's promise.She is going to be alone forever without her model baby, all this also hurts Mrs. Brown. That's why she is making the last pancakes for her only daughter.They later disengage from the hug and Evelyn asked Mrs. Brown to teach her how to make the pancakes which she messed up.They laugh and play together lastly, Evelyn ate most of the pancakes while Mrs. Brown only ate little and watched.They took some pictures together and Evelyn took some of Mrs. Brown secretly.They watch movies and eat some popcorn, with hotdogs which they ordered.This lasted for night, both the mother and daughter retired to bed, they slept on Mrs. Brown bed and was covered with one duvet.Evelyn wasn't able to sleep throughout the whole night, the only thought in her mind was the marriage, how her life is going to be after the marriage, how she isn't going to see her number one friend; Mrs. Brown, again.Next MorningEvelyn had her bath and was waiting for the worst because today is the day, she already called Amber and told her about her decision.Amber also pacifies her with some soothing words, she told Amber she would be late and she should tell Mr. Ronald that she went on a picnic with Mrs. Brown.She combed her hair neatly making them fall to her shoulder, her lips with nude lipgloss, she wore a white shirt under a black suit jacket and the jacket black pants and a matching seven inch heel.Mrs. Brown already called Mrs. Valentino and Mrs. Brown who is hurriedly on her way.Mrs. Brown is also nervous because she has heard who Mrs. Valentino is and she fears how Mrs. Valentino is gonna treat her daughter. ****"Mr. Drake, about Evelyn Brown you asked me, she is the only child of your father's friend Mr. Brown and she is also 21, she is the popular ANNING model" Drake Valentino PA said."Alright! Let's see if she is mum's puppet or a show" Drake replied."But boss, your fans are still anticipating your reply and Viola Spooner is back, it seems she's here to compete with your would-be wife.""I see this is getting more interesting than I thought, I will watch till the end" Drake replied."But are you going to let her believe you are a moron? Or you will show her you are not?.""Where is the witch right now?" Drake Valentino asked."Evelyn Brown didn't want to marry you before so I think her mother persuaded her or something, so they called this morning and the girl agreed," Samson replied."Can you show me her picture?" Drake demanded and Samson wanted to show him when a guard entered Drake's room.Samson quickly put the phone in his pants pocket."What are you doing in the young master room?" The guard, who is one of Johnny Mudrock's men , asked."I came to check on him," Samson replied and quickly rushed out.And the guards chuckle and shake his head."The fool is chatting with a moron."He closed Drake's door and left.Drake Valentino gritted his teeth in anger, how dare an ordinary guard talk to him like that, well the guard is one of the rebellious people he will take down when he is done. ****Mrs. Brown already prepared pasta for breakfast as Evelyn demanded but they both are little from the pasta.They sat together in the living room expecting their guests.And shortly Mrs. Brown arrived with Johnny Mudrock and a man who is a lawyer.Mrs. Brown welcomed them and the three sat on the same chair while Evelyn sat beside Mrs. Brown."Is the guy here the groom?" Evelyn asked, looking at Johnny Mudrock."No, I'm not Ms. Brown, as you have been told before, your groom is on a business trip and the man here is the lawyer that will be binding your marriage before it is done in a grand style" Johnny Mudrock replied.Evelyn chuckled, the woman who came here by herself on that day isn't even talking today."So Ms. Brown you need to read this document thoroughly before signing that you agreed" The lawyer said a d hand over the document to Evelyn.Evelyn didn't bother to read it before signing, she signed and handed over the document back to the lawyer.Johnny Mudrock and Mrs. Valentino maintain eye contact with a smile."But I have my conditions also," Evelyn mutters, staring at Mrs. Valentino."List your conditions, Mrs. Valentino is listening" Johnny Mudrock replied."First, I wouldn't stop my career because of a marriage, second, I don't want it to be leaked out to the fans that I'm married, so I will disagree with the grand wedding, third, I will only be your son wife or Mrs. Valentino at his house, my name wouldn't change because of my career and lastly, I will move to your son's house whenever I want" Evelyn listed surprising Mrs. Brown and them all."Well, Ms. Brown I think you didn't read the document very well, but I will tell you, in the document, it states that you are to move into your groom house immediately or the next day if you are busy" Johnny Mudrock said."What did you mean by that? Won't I pack my belongings?" Evelyn replied."You need not to worry about that we got your belongings covered, we will bring you ten maids who will come to pack it tomorrow and the rest of your condition, Mrs. Valentino accept" Johnny Mudrock replied and they stood up."You are welcome to my family, daughter in law" Mrs. Valentino mutters and they leave.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 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 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
