Chapter 7

"Welcome to Valentino family, daughter-in-law" Mrs. Valentino said with a smile and left with her minions

Evelyn 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 whole of America, I want America to forget the name Evelyn, now that I'm back."

She replied through gritted teeth and Mr. Cladius smiled.

"Of course, I will help you to take your position back as the top model, trust me," Mr. Cladius replied.

"But where is my PA?" Viola asked.

"Immediately, you have an accident and she resigned but I've got a new PA for you" Mr. Cladius replied.

"Who is that? You know I'm very picky?" She replied arrogantly.

"Good day Ms. Viola, I'm your assigned PA" A girl in a white shirt and black skirt replied.

Claudius Barryton is the director of A.N. JELL which the Spooners is secretly among the sponsors.

Claudius Barryton is known for his greed for wealth, A.N. JELL faces a lot of breakdown after Viola got into an accident.

Viola is not their only model, they have some many models but Viola is the real deal why they are called A.N JELL.

When Mr. Spooner called him that Viola was back, he wanted to die of happiness because he knew that with the help of Viola Spooner, A.N. JELL will be back to the top again.

'Now I will have to attend the directors meeting in pride, Ronald will regret ever mocking me' Cladius thought.

"So, Cladius where are we starting from?" Viola asked.

"First, you have to go on a diet and become more sexy . Secondly, we will start collecting jobs from small companies," Cladius replied.

She called him his name because they were more like a fuck buddies before she got into the accident.

"Why do I need to work for small companies? When I'm the daughter of the popular Spooner?" She replied proudly looking at her new PA.

"That's because, Evelyn is the face of America, you need to start from the bottom before becoming famous again," Cladius replied.

Evelyn arrived at ANNING group in a sad mood.

Everyone takes turns asking her what happened but Evelyn's response was mood swings, deep down Amber it's not mood swings but the marriage.

"So, sis what happened?" Amber asked when she and Evelyn were sitting alone.

"I have signed the marriage agreement and I have become the lawfully wedded wife of the Valentino family" Evelyn replied with a sigh.

"What sis, I thought you wouldn't agree, so did you see the groom? Where is your wedding?" Amber asked.

Amber wasn't aware that Evelyn mentioned Valentino's family, or else she would have known that his crush, Drake Valentino is the one.

"I asked mum if there is any other reason I have to get married to the son of my dad 's friend and she told me that if I don't get married to him, our properties will be willed to them, so I go in exchange for our properties" Evelyn replied.

She already knows that whatever she says now or does, cannot reset her fate, because she has already been caged.

"I thought so, so did you see the guy?" Amber asked.

"No I don't see him, all they were saying was that he is on a business trip, but looking at his mother, the woman is scary, her bodyguard also, he has an eye patch on his second eyes" Evelyn said and Amber hugged her immediately.

"You don't need to be afraid sis, whatever happens you have me" Amber said and Evelyn chuckled.

"Said by a person who can't monitor her step" Evelyn said and Amber blush.

Nathan came to them, he bowed his head in respect to Evelyn.

Evelyn smiles seeing that Nathan is finally taking a bold step to talk to Amber, but she prays Amber yield.

Amber looks at him and scoffs.

"Amber, can I talk to you privately?" Nathan asked.

"Nope, you can see I'm busy with sis" Amber replied grumpily and what happened next made Evelyn bursted into laughter forgetting her sorrow.

Nathan dragged Amber away, so she wasn't able to take her phone with her.

Evelyn brought out her phone, she decided to scroll through her social media.

There were up to millions of posts about her birthday from her fans.

She made an appreciation post and was still scrolling through when she saw Amber post.

Amber posted her pictures and a guy picture.

Evelyn hisses silently because the way Amber wishes the guy, it feels as if the guy is her boyfriend.

She zoomed the picture to see the guy's face, she thought that this is the guy Amber goes around talking about.

Evelyn zoomed in on the picture of the guy clearly. It seemed her eyes were deceiving her. She even rubbed her eyes very well.

The post was like this.

"Happy birthday to my sis, love, ANNING model, America goddess, my boss, long life and prosperity, Amber love you, Evelyn Brown."

And the second post goes like this.

"Happy birthday to my crush, my love, American idol, my everything, will die for you, Long life and prosperity my love for you will be pending, Drake Valentino."

'Why do I think this guy looks like the guy anonymous, or do I need glasses…. Of course not, I don't need one it's definitely him, his lips say it all' She thought.

She checked the name again and it was even written in capital letters.

DRAKE VALENTINO.

Evelyn looks at his surname and she remembers the words that came out of the woman before she left.

"Welcome to Valentino family, daughter-in-law."

Yes! She knows she remembers, it's the same name that came out of the cold woman's mouth.

She dropped her phone, and picked up Amber's phone from the table.

And truly her eyes weren't deceiving her, the guy picture was boldly on Amber phone wallpaper.

And on the picture, the name Drake Valentino was written there.

Now it clearly shows that Evelyn was going crazy.

"This can't be, this can't be" She sang just like a mantra.

She dropped Amber's phone and picked up her phone.

Evelyn goes back to her social media handle, she searches for the name Drake Valentino.

Nathan finally dragged her to a secluded place.

Amber snatched her hand away from and she turned red in anger.

Her blue orbs were slightly mixed with red which indicates she is mad.

"What the fuck happen?" Amber shouted in anger.

"Don't hurt your pretty voice by shouting, I can't bear to see that" Nathan replied and Amber scoffs.

The idiot dared to tell her thrash, well she thought he was finally avoiding her but no, this little adult is bent on making her his.

"I wanted to tell you something," he replied.

He really wants to confess his feelings to her, this has been eating him up, Stephen was the one that gave him encouraging words to face Amber.

"Don't waste my time and spit your thrash" Amber replied and Nathan turned sad immediately.

Even though he loves her, her words always shatter and break his heart. He doesn't know his offence, like why she hates him.

He has been wanting to ask her, maybe he will ask altogether.

"I love you so much Amber to the extent that whenever I woke up in the morning, your name will be the first that will came out of my mouth, I'm really losing my mind because of your beauty and whenever you fall, I always feel happy to lift you up, please Amber can you reciprocate my feeling, I love you dearly."

Nathan said and Amber chuckled.

"You need to see a doctor," Amber replied.

"No, I'm serious Amber, please if you can't date me or love me… can you please accept the gift given to us by Value restaurant" he begged.

"Doing all this makes me detest you more, I also have been asking myself why I hate you but I can't find any reason, and mind you I don't want your gift" She walked away.

Nathan's knee became weak immediately, he didn't know when he fell on his knees.

The rejection really hurt his heart that he thinks his heart is bleeding.

He feels suffocated and thinks that his lungs have left him.
