"F-Fine," she said and squeezed her eyes shut. "I'll do it." To keep her job and pay her nephew's hospital bills, Evelyn agreed to a one night stand with a casino client. In the dim corridor with red lights, someone grabbed her waist, the evil chuckle hot against her ear. No. She didn't want this. That smelly man! She didn't want him! There was a door right before her and she squinted her eyes. What did it say? The wordings looked too long to be the 'exit'. "Stay still," the man growled behind her and started to pull her away. "That's the presidential suite. Our room is right-" She elbowed him with all her strength that he yelped and let go of her. Panic set in her heart as she ran to the exit room right in front of her. She grabbed the door handle and was about to push it open when it was suddenly yanked open. Evelyn lost her footing and fell face first into a hard brick! What kind of wall was warm and smelled so sweet, enough to keep her temperature cool?

Chapter 1 1- The Bargain

The sharp and sudden noise like a crack of thunder catches everyone's attention as the bottle hits the floor and shatters into pieces followed by the casino chips falling around her feet. Evelyn had her face turned the other way, almost shaking from the client's sudden anger."You little bitch!" he screamed, almost deafening her as he began raining curses. He grabbed her arm too, pulling her closer into his body that was bathed strongly of heavy perfume. By now, the whole Casino had turned silent and every eye was on the two.Evelyn gasped in shock with her heart hammering in her chest. She yanked her hand from his grip at once with a frightened but annoyed look on her face. His touch was like a million maggots crawling up her skin.The man scowled even further and she knew at once she had landed herself in even bigger trouble. Not one of her colleagues stepped in to help. Instead, they watched her like she was their entertainment for the night. It was a cruel world where no one cared...

Chapter 2 The Graham's
The Graham's.Only the wealthiest family across the city from old money and respect in society. They were noble with an ancient heritage owning lots of properties to their name. It would be anyone's dream to marry into such a family but…There were rumours. The eldest son of the Graham's, Lucas, had a terrible scar on his face that no one had seen him for a long time. He was also the outcast of the family for being completely useless with no decent job, no dreams and aspirations. He simply had plans to leach on his family until his father kicked him out."That's who you want me to end up with?" Evelyn asked in a scared voice, afraid to believe and accept the cruelty of her step mother. What happened to being family?"Yes, dear," Diana replied with a concerned look on her face. "Is something wrong?"Evelyn's jaw almost dropped.Not just something, everything was wrong in that! Every damn thing!Olivia wasn't doing her a favour! She simply wanted to get rid of her responsibility and pus

Chapter 3 Her Husband
The dreadful day arrived at last.The hall was like a dream come true. She never expected that she'd be getting married with such beautiful decorations fit for a queen. Judging by Diana and Olivia's hanging jaw, they too couldn’t believe that this was happening to her.The Catholic Church looked like a piece of heaven. With scented candles giving off a nice scent in the air, it was warm and welcoming. The floor to ceiling window gave a perfect view of the warm sun, the soft music of the piano and harp eased her spirits and somehow lowered her guard.This wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. It wasn't bad at all. It was a simple yet sophisticated setting and a few people were already seated.Evelyn suddenly felt out of place in the church. Her soon to be husband was from a wealthy family and they had taken the time to plan his wedding so beautifully. It suddenly felt like she had no one on her side but herself."Are you sure he was disowned?" Olivia asked her mother, wanting to ma

Chapter 4 Two- Faced
"Y-Yes, I- I do," Evelyn stuttered, unable to take her eyes off him. This… surely wasn't who she was expecting.From his hair to his suit, tie, shoes and wristwatch, her husband didn't look like the pauper that everyone had portrayed him to be. He looked… well fed, put together and organised.What the hell was going on?"By the power vested in me, you may now kiss the bride," the priest continued, oblivious to Evelyn's inner conflict.Wait! K-Kiss-"I'm sure we have plenty of time to do that once we get home, don't you agree?" Lucas interrupted her thoughts, flashing her a flirty smile that heated up her cheeks.Last night was still burned in her memory that she blushed silly, unable to look him confidently in the eye for too long.Evelyn nodded stiffly and turned to the Priest who smiled and had no problems with it."Shall we?" Lucas offered his hand and she stared at it for a little while before sliding hers in. His hold was firm and tender than for a moment, Evelyn forgot she was p

Chapter 5 His return
Lucas never returned home that night, nor the next morning or even the next day.Evelyn finally gave up waiting after the fifth day. She was filled with so much rage but what could she do? She couldn't hold a grudge against a man who probably forgot about her existence.She stared at the ring on her finger, the small silver felt heavy and cold. Her marriage felt like a prison.Why did she even expect an arranged marriage to run smoothly? They were two strangers bound by a ring after all.If only she didn’t have to dance to her stepmother's tune. She could still recall Lucas's cold and glaring eyes like he harboured a secret grudge against her.Evelyn suddenly jumped to her feet. She had completely forgotten about Peter. How could she--Fuck! He must be so lonely all by himself. Before, she used to be so busy but still managed to take out the time to care for him.What was she expecting anyways? That Lucas would support her in Peter's treatment? How delusional!"Stupid, stupid," Evelyn

Chapter 6 Questioning Identities
Evelyn shuddered at his stern voice and turned to see her husband standing behind her with a glare in his eyes directed at her father.He was the last person she expected to be here. How did he even know where to find her?Haven't seen him in days, he looked much more handsome than the last time she saw him. It suddenly felt like all the days she waited felt like nothing seeing him now.How did her anger dissipate just by his presence?“Let go of me!” Her father yelled, trying to pull his hand away but it felt like the man was made of steel. He didn't budge no matter how hard he tried.He readied his fist and swung at him but Lucas caught his hand in the air, his eyes going even darker-“Don't fucking put your hands on my husband, you begger!” It was Diana's turn to yell now as she sprung into action, pushing Lucas off and grabbing into her husband.“You're dirtying his clothes. Just take your wretched wife and leave!”Olivia chuckled as she eyed Lucas' outfit from head to toe. Since

Chapter 7 Parties and Gifts
The party happened that evening and as Evelyn stepped into the hall with her arm locked in her husband's arm, her jaw dropped as she took in the scene.It felt like she had just stepped into a fairytale live action. The hall was decorated with fabrics that screamed extravagance at first glance. The tables, covered in rich velvet cloths with sparkly chandeliers hanging over their heads. The music was soft in the background, it was a rich melody that soothed the atmosphere.The air smelled of fresh flowers and champagne and she could hear the clicking of glass and the mumblings of conversations. The guests weren't left out in the event, they too had come prepared in their finest clothes and their necks and hands bedecked with fine pearls and jewelries.Everyone looked so good that for a moment, Evelyn felt a little self conscious. There was nothing special about her dress but she tried to lift her head and brush it off.She couldn't hold it against herself for not having money. If had e

Chapter 8 A Rare Gem
The crowd was in shock and no one uttered a word. They waited for the joke to be over and waited for their eyes to perhaps recognize the gift but they were all looking at the same thing.A stone!Like a bomb going off without warning, that was how their laughter erupted.They held their belly with their mouths gaping open as they laughed, making mockery of the prodigal son who spoke like a king about a gift but made a fool out of himself.Evelyn tightened her hold on Lucas's arm. Just what had he done? How could he have given his father a stone? Was this just to make a mockery of him or what?But Lucas didn't seem fazed at all. If anything, he looked like he hadn't done anything wrong. He still wore his confidence so strongly that it made Evelyn relax.She didn't know how or why but she felt a deep trust somehow for her husband. It didn't matter if this was his plan or not. She was his wife and she would stand by him, no matter what.Mr. Graham signalled to one of the guards and they

Chapter 9 The truth
'A thousand bucks,' Evelyn thought. He really got it for a thousand bucks? She wondered but couldn't bring herself to doubt Lucas.He seemed like he knew the worth of the stone and presented it to his father. Why didn't he just keep it for himself?He could live a much better life with a hundred million and even start something good.Now they walked out in absolute silence and she opened her mouth to speak-"Lucas?"The smooth sultry voice came from behind and Evelyn clamped her mouth shut. Who would call out to her husband so seductively?They both turned to the woman and Evelyn's brows jerked up in surprise as she took in the hot model standing before her.She had a banging body in that red thigh high slit dress. Her blonde hair was wavy and falling over to one side of her shoulder. Her gaze was filled with so much grace and ease that at first glance one could tell she was in a higher class in society.The woman's face eased softly and her cheeks flushed as she looked away briefly,

How hard was it these days for a computer engineer to secure a job?It was the start of a new week and Evelyn was on the verge of giving up hope.
