Chapter 8

Nathan 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.

She faces Drake and smiles.

"Your wife is on her way and you need to behave properly from now on and you will be moved to your penthouse."

She said rubbing Drake cheek like a kid.

"Penthouse?, What's that?" He asked withdrawing the ice cream from his mouth.

"Your doom!" She replied with a dangerous smile.

Drake thought about what she meant by his doom.

"Doom?" He asked, pretending.

"You are married now, you and your wife will be staying there and I can live alone in this house freely, moron!" She replied and left for her room.

Drake Valentino smiles because little by little, he is getting to know who Mrs. Brown is.

****

Johnny Mudrock arrived at the Brown mansion with ten maids scaring the hell out of Mrs. Brown.

He entered the living room and greeted her.

"We are here to pack Ms. Brown belongings ordered by Mrs. Valentino."

Johnny Mudrock mutters and he climbs the stairs not giving Mrs. Brown room to reply.

The ten maids follow and Mrs. Brown also follows them hastenstly.

Can you give us some more time, maybe a week, my daughter still needs some time to adjust" Mrs Brown said and Johnny Mudrock stopped.

"Your daughter signed the document herself and I believe you are there Mrs. Brown" He replied with a smile and Mrs. Brown opened reluctantly.

Evelyn is not in the mansion, she went out for early morning exercise in a jogger and pants with a black sneakers.

'Oh, lord protect my daughter, this family is more dangerous and clever than I thought,' Mrs. Brown thought with a sigh.

"Where is Ms. Brown?" Johnny Mudrock asked after seeing the empty room.

"Sh..e we..nt for a workout" Mrs. Brown stutters.

Johnny Mudrock signals towards the maids with a clap and they rush to Evelyn's various wardrobes.

It's as if Valentino already know, Evelyn had ten wardrobes in total.

Two maids open their assigned wardrobe at once and it contains her luxurious dresses.

As they pack the dresses, the two maids determine that the two wardrobe contains gowns of various kinds, off shoulder, flayed, strapless, ball, and some short gown.

The two maids open their mouths wide, they've never seen some of the dresses before and they believe she is truly a model and a billionaire heiress.

They were able to pack the dresses in the two wardrobes into ten traveling bags, and the other maids helped them to take the bags to the Lamborghini outside.

The total of the cars outside are also ten, with their different drivers.

The maids came back and two maids opened another two wardrobes.

They noticed the two wardrobe contains pants and tops.

The first maid starts to fold the various round neck tops, off shoulder, armless tops into the traveling bag and this alone contains ten traveling bags.

Johnny Mudrock sighs in frustration, he thinks the thing is going to be easy, but he now finds out it's not.

The girl is supposed to open a mall or start up a dress business.

"Hurry up!" He shouted and the maids trembled in fear.

Evelyn arrived home in sweat, She saw the ten cars and was scared, the car filled their parking lot, so she proceeded in.

'Apart from getting me into an arranged marriage, did my father take out a loan with the house?.... That can be…. We are a billionaire,' Evelyn thought.

She didn't see Mrs. Brown in the living room so she proceeded upstairs.

On climbing the stairs, she saw two maids who bowed and passed beside her.

She becomes alert immediately that they are parking her clothes because of the traveling bag, she bought all the traveling bags herself.

She didn't wait a minute before rushing into her room, at first she didn't notice Johnny Mudrock.

She collected her traveling bag from the maids who were packing her undies.

Johnny Mudrock already faced the other side because of the undies they were packing.

The maids continue in packing her undies.

"Are you matching fools deaf? Leave my belongings" She yelled angrily at them.

The maids didn't stop, neither did they answer her.

"Then I really need to call the cops since none of you is answering me" Evelyn replied and brought out her phone.

Mrs. Brown sighs before collecting the phone from her, this is when Johnny Mudrock turns to her.

"Ms. Brown, it's the order from Mrs. Valentino to have your belongings packed," Johnny Mudrock mutters.

"So, you bastard is also here while they are packing my undies and your Mrs. Valentino doesn't need to send maids to pack my belongings, I can do it myself" Evelyn replied angrily with a smirk.

Johnny Mudrock was cunning and his face is always void of expression and emotion.

The patch makes him look scary to people which is the true definition of him.

"My name is Mudrock, Ms. Brown or should I say young misses Valentino and not bastard and I will inform Mrs. Valentino about not packing your belongings in the future" He replied not blinking.

Evelyn gritted her teeth in anger, she hasn't got to their house and she is already regretting her decision, seeing the crazy eye patch guy and their so called Mrs Valentino, Evelyn thought that the son Drake Valentino wouldn't be different and her happy life will become sour.

The maids are done with the packings and Evelyn wardrobes are now empty.

Johnny Mudrock signals to them with a clap and they all leave hurriedly, more like disappearing.

"She must arrive straight at her lawful wedded husband's penthouse after work and she shall leave there from now on, but if she disobeyed my orders, then her life as the Valentino daughter-in-law will be difficult…. This was the message Mrs. Valentino asked me to deliver, goodbye" Johnny Mudrock mutters and leaves.

"Lawful wedded husband? And who did she think she was!" Evelyn shouted angrily and her voice echoed in the room.

"She is the wife of the richest man in America, Chairman Valentino and she is Mrs. Valentino" Johnny Mudrock replied from the stairs.

Johnny Mudrock entered one of the cars and the maids entered the rest, they left the Brown mansion.

"Mum, I can't believe you called them dad friend… mum I can destroy the document right?" Evelyn mutters with tears trickling down her eyes.

"No, my daughter, the document Is with them, you have signed it, there is no turning back" Mrs. Brown replied.

Evelyn sat on her bed for a while, she wiped her tears and stood up at once.

"I know what to do," She replied and dashed into the bathroom.

Seeing her leave Mrs. Brown climbed down the stay and she went directly to her room.

She got into her room and bursted into the tears she had been holding.

She can't believe her being insulted, she is the chairman of the Brown companies but she can't do anything.

She cleaned her tears, she went into the kitchen and she made some noodles for Evelyn.

Evelyn came out of the bathroom, she wore a flared gown and heels she had chosen before the Valentino's arrived.

There was no makeup or anything, everything was packed.

She proceeded to Mrs. Valentino room, she put on Mrs. Valentino makeup before returning back to the living room.

"Evelyn, your noodles are ready" Mrs. Brown mutters and Evelyn nodded negatively with a smile.

"No mum, I will be good with coffee" She replied and Mrs. Brown quickly made coffee.

Evelyn drank it all, she bade Mrs. Brown bye, picked up her car key and she left the house.

She entered a black Porsche and was driving to her work place.

She was so engrossed in her thought not remembering that she was driving, her car bumping into another car that was what woke her up.

She gasped and rushed out of her car.

"I'm so sorry" She mutters with a bow and the door of the car she collided with opens.

"Yes, that's how you will later bow in respect to me when I become the American goddess" A voice which Evelyn had heard for a long time replied with a grin.
