Evelyn woke up with a pounding headache. She held her head as she sat up, looking around her room with a strange feeling.How did she get back home? Last thing she remembered was drinking with her supervisor, Jane. Did she call her husband later?“Ugh!” She groaned as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to shower. After the cool water washed from her head, she felt a bit relieved before making black tea to drink to get rid of her hangover.What happened last night? She hoped she didn't make a mess of herself when she got home. She would have to ask Lucas about that.She picked up her phone and saw a text from Alex instructing her to call once she saw his text.“Hello,”“I was wondering when you'd call,” he smiled over the phone. “I'd like to see you before I leave.”“You're leaving again? Don't worry, I'll take care of Charlie-”“No, Evelyn. I mean I'm leaving the company.”“What!” she didn't know when she yelled. “B-But how? Why? What's wrong-”“Haha! Why don't we hang out
Their eyes met and he threw her a smile before walking towards her direction. Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, refusing to calm down. She was too immersed in staring at Lucas that for a moment, she forgot she was having a conversation with Alex."Found you," Lucas said once he got to her and he leaned down to place a kiss on her cheek. He pulled back only a little, admiring her shocked look with a pleased smile.He looked up to her guest who was sprouting a frown, "I didn't see you there. I thought you were done, babe."Alex flinched at the word but he didn't back down from the hard stare they shared. He felt the competition had been brought to him even though it seemed he had lost the battle."No," she snapped out of it and before she knew it, Lucas was pulling out a chair to sit beside her."Then I guess you don't mind me joining you. Your boss and I are acquainted, I'm sure he doesn't mind."On the contrary, Alex was holding himself back from eating him alive but Lucas could see the
"It's over. See yourself out," Harry said. He couldn't stress it enough. He had told her over the phone already and she still didn't get it. What was hard to understand that he was calling their relationship off?"What the fuck do you mean by that? What happened, huh?" Olivia yelled. She was in his office at the club."After your sister cost me so much? I'm done with your family!" he yelled back. He was yet to recover from the sight of Eric at his office. He still didn't know how a lowlife like Lucas managed to score such a big guy but he knew he never wanted any of them near him again."Evelyn? What has that bitch got to do with this? Did you fuck her? You scumbag! How dare you cheat on me!" she stormed to him and raised her hand to slap him but he caught her wrist before she could land a hit, squeezing her hand tight."Get out of here before I fuck you up!" he growled, throwing her hand off. She retreated, reigning curses at him before storming out of his club.She was all alone now
Evelyn checked the time after she got out of the restroom. Where was he? She knew she shouldn't have come all by herself.The loud music and the disco lights were blaring in her eyes and ears. She had quickly taken a bathroom break and now that she was out, Lucas was yet to call.Well his last text was that he would find her. So she just needed to stay in a place where he could.She picked up her bag, ignoring the sudden weight as she felt she was feeling rather tired all of a sudden.She squeezed herself through the dancefloor, avoiding their sweaty bodies as she headed towards the door.Two security guards stood in her way, their arms folded as they stared at her with hard eyes and an expressionless face."Uhm… excuse me?" she wondered what was wrong."There's been a report of a stolen item," one said in a loud voice. The music was low in this area so there was no need for either of them to yell. "Open your bag." Yet others walked out without being stopped.Were they trying to say s
It almost felt like a dream seeing her here. Eric never thought he would ever lay eyes on her again. The first time was a mistake and he now saw why his friend was keeping her away. Such a beautiful woman-Were those tears in her eyes? Oh shit! Lucas was going to kill him!Someone rushed into him in a hug and he froze when he looked down at the strange woman. She pulled away wearing a pitiful face as she rubbed her eyes even when they were dry as fuck! She looked somewhat familiar but at the moment, he was too concerned with Evelyn and the cops."Thank goodness you're here! This woman is causing a scene. She stole some clothes and she's trying to run away. She stole it to get your attention, I'm sure. Such a disgusting move," she scowled at Evelyn before batting her lashes at him in a seductive attempt."And you are?" Eric arched his brow in question. Who was she to badmouth Lucas's wife?"I'm Olivia Williams. Daughter of the Williams house," she proudly said.Williams? Wasn't Evelyn
Olivia gawked at him. With that suit, shoes and sparkly wrist watch, he looked almost unrecognisable. She had always been aware of Lucas' handsomeness and sometimes envied that Evelyn had such a handsome man by her side.If he wasn't an unfortunate poor man, she would've married him a long time ago.“Look who it is,” she quickly caught herself gawking before she began to drool over him. “Don't let them fool you, Eric. This couple is as poor as they come. One would actually think you're somebody not knowing you're nothing but the outcast of the Graham family. Unlike Eric here who has his own money and whose family still loves him.”“Where did you get this suit from and that watch? Those shoes are obviously branded. You either borrowed them or your wife here helped you steal them like she's doing now-”“Stop that nonsense, Olivia,” Lucas warned. He couldn't want for Evelyn's family to just disappear from their lives already.“Someone tell me what's going on here and why my wife is being
Eric lead them to a restaurant inside the club and after they got a seat, he place an order for all of themEvelyn didn't want to look at the menu. She knew at first glance that everything here was freaking expensive. She just sucked it up and acted cool.How was Lucas so relaxed? Well he was a Graham so… that explained it. She, on the other hand, was calculating just how many months they could use this money on groceries. She would cook more delicious food at home-She almost moaned when she put a full spoon of the food in her mouth.Eric smiled, pleased by her reaction. She and Lucas were seated side by side and man, did they look good together. He had seen Lucas go through all powerful emotions just for this woman.“How did you two meet?” Evelyn asked, she had always wanted to know ever since she saw them together.“Outcast,” Lucas and Eric said simultaneously.She stared at the two who were focused on eating.“We were both outcasts of our family,” Eric explained. “So it was easy t
Evelyn was conscious of his hand on her waist and when he pulled her closer till she wrapped an arm around his back as they swayed softly and tenderly to the slow music in the air, she concluded that this was the best dream she's had in a while.It was surreal. She never knew he could be such a romantic. This was straight out of a fairytale; expensive dinner, a beautiful house with a nice view and an equally beautiful dress and now this? Dancing like there was no one else in the world.She sighed, closing her eyes to bask in the moment. This was beautiful. She could do this all day and every day. Her life felt like a fairytale whenever he was with her."This place," she didn't pull away from his embrace, he smelled divine and she didn't want to part with that. "It's beautiful. Does it belong to your boss?"He nodded.That bit wasn't a lie. It did belong to his boss and he was the boss of himself."And the car too, right?" goodness! It looked so expensive she didn't need to be told the
