Evelyn jerked out of the chair at the sound of his voice. The scowl on his face was frightening enough but the jump scare made her heart pound."I-I didn’t see you there," she stuttered and studied his face. Did something happen? "Wait, did you knock? I guess I didn't hear you," she tucked her hair behind her ear-"Why are you googling a club?" His voice was so sharp and hoarse that it made her tense."I got a job offer-""A job offer?" he sounded unconvinced."Yes. A club waiter so I'm checking the reviews of the club before I accept-""You're going to accept it?" Did he hear her right? She couldn't put her bad habits away for a second, could she? She was always looking for the next man to seduce.She saw the conflicted look on his face and Evelyn innocently thought he was worried and didn't think the job was any decent.In a normal sense, who would want their wife working in a club when the first time they met was in a Casino? He was probably having the wrong idea."It's not what yo
While that was going on, Lucas had gone back to the office with his assistant and had buried himself and his thoughts in a pile of work.Mr. Parker rubbed his tired eyes as he watched his boss bring the pen to his lips with his stare hard enough to drill a hole in the document that he scrutinised.He wanted to go home and call it a day but since Lucas was here, who was he to leave his boss behind?Was it too much to ask for the end of the day to get some rest? It was already the end of the day - why wasn't he allowed to rest?He had walked out in secret and put a call across to one of Luca's good friends and so he waited patiently for his arrival.Where was he? Why was it taking so long? He was already under pressure just standing here under this thick air--The door suddenly burst open as a man barged in. Lucas and Mr. Parker gave their attention and he walked in with his shades on his face not caring about the time of the day.His smile was bright and smug and his attire was casual
Evelyn still refused to believe him until she had the contract in her hands.She finally saw her doom stare her right back in the eye and she fell silent.How could she have been so desperate as to make such a mistake? The first rule of signing a contract was to 'read everything first'-- shit! Everyone knew that!This was a trap all along! She hated how she guessed it all from the beginning but still allowed her desperation to walk her into it.It wasn't just any contract, Harry had made her sign a loan shark contract. It stated that the money she received was a loan and the only way to pay back was to meet his conditions.She wasn't allowed to disobey the terms which included that she couldn't refuse whatever job Harry asked of her.If he told her to dance, then she had to dance!The consequences of breaking the contract wasn't just to return the money, she would return it while still paying him a huge amount of money for damages and breach of contract.As she stared at a copy of the
Harry's door was kicked open and three of them barged in, lining up before his desk as he looked back and forth frantically. He had been thinking of how to get out of this situation ever since he laid eyes on Eric.He still couldn't believe that Eric was here with Lucas. He never heard the two were this close unless Lucas got him to pose…?"Harry, you have one chance to explain," Lucas warned. "Where's the document-""Ha! I'll be damned if I tell you shit!" Harry mocked. He wasn't about to fall for this sham-Eric stepped forward, "Let me explain your situation a little better. We can end this here on a good note or we can drag you to court and let the best man win. Last I checked there are rumours surrounding your club about drugs and sex trades."The threat in Eric's eyes was making him tremble. "I-I don't get it! Why will you go this far and spend a lot of money on that- that-" he pointed an accusing finger at Lucas.Eric blocked his vision by stepping to the side, "You don’t touch
Evelyn wasted no time in making the deposit at the hospital. She was bubbling with so much glee that the doctor couldn't help but smile. He only knew a little of her struggle with her brother's payment."Thank you!" she waved at the doctor before walking out of the hospital. Along the way, she composed a thank-you email to the CEO. She had gotten the email from the project they worked on."Now what do I get him as a present?" she wondered as she thought of Lucas with a smile on her face. She had been so overjoyed and emotional that she didn't know when she hugged him.She was distracted by the notification on her phone. It was a response to her email."Keep up the good work," the email read."Oh my God! He actually replied," she covered her mouth in shock. "Wow! I'm looking forward to a raise then," she teased as she made her way to the company."Evelyn."At the familiar voice, she turned to Alex's wide smile as he walked up to her."You're back," she said. "I didn't know you would be
Olivia shook, staring at Evelyn in shock who had tears on her face. No one would believe she just slapped two people with that look. She touched her face, her cheek stung badly and when she looked at her mother, her heart dropped at the red swollen area.She let out a scream in horror. She was afraid and mad! Her face hurt like she had been slapped with an iron fist. "How dare you touch me! I'll fucking call the cops! I'll sue you for physical abuse!" As she screamed, her eyes leaked with tears."Mom! Do something! Do something! She hit me! In front of all these people!" Olivia yelled with her hands over her face as she pulled her tantrum. "I've never been so humiliated in my whole life!"The manager of the store had been contacted earlier and he rushed down to see the commotion that was happening in his store. He came right on time to see a mad woman dressed in a good outfit display her craziness."Get them out of here!" He ordered the security and they approached the mother and daug
She wrapped her arms around his neck, lost in his skilled tongue as he stroked the flames to their passion. She barely got any air, his hands roamed her body, making her breathless as she desired more and more of him by the second.His lips were soft but his heart was raging at a ferocious pace. She buried her hands in his soft hair and he cupped her ass.She was pressed against him hard enough to be aware of every hard inch and she kissed him back with the same intensity.But somewhere at the back of her mind, she knew this was getting out of hand. While her body yearned for him, she couldn't make things more complicated.Slowly, she pushed him away, shutting her eyes as she tried to catch her breath. "We can't," she whispered. They were a contracted couple, who knew how long they would be together?Sex was too dangerous. What if they made a mistake and a baby happened? It would be ridiculous to raise a child in a house with no love.Lucas understood their situation but he couldn't r
"What about me?" Lucas asked. "What do you think of me?"The question made her hands freeze over the onions she was cutting. It was something she least expected.Hearing her praise the CEO version of himself, he wondered what she thought of him. To everyone, including his family, he was a waste of space, time and money-- not like his father ever spent a dime on him after his mother's death.The rumours were cruel and harsh but he had come to live with it. Those were probably the first things she heard before she agreed to marry him. He wondered if she too saw him as what everyone said he was.Her silence, however, stretched on for too long that he began to conclude she was just like everyone else.That was too bad, he had been looking forward to her answer."Forget I asked-""You're a good contract husband," she said over him.Now that was shocking… and new but very shocking still. "Wait, that's it?"She giggled and turned to him. He arched his brow in disbelief and she smirked, feeli
