"Who is knocking on the door by this hour?" Diana grumbled as she tightened her robe heading down the stairs to attend to her late night visitor.Was it Olivia? That girl knew better than to show up at the house this late at night. Her father would eat her raw with his naggings and complaints.After which she would get an ear full that she wasn't raising a daughter but a whore.If only he knew his other daughter- Evelyn- fucked a stranger for money. She would kill to see the pathetic look on his face.Not like he even seemed to care. He had abandoned that side of his family years ago and he couldn't be bothered by their shenanigans.It was one of the reasons why she could easily swap Olivia in place of Evelyn for that Godforsaken marriage.She would never allow her daughter to end up with a cheap scum like Lucas. Handsome or not, money maketh a man. Being pretty was a woman's job. The man had to have all the cash.The knock sounded again and she groaned, "Hold the damn horses. I'm com
Olivia scrolled through her inbox with her jaw hanging loose. The death threats she received all morning was no joke.Where was this coming from? Her phone buzzer and buzzed with notifications and with each text, she was this close to losing it.It wasn't until she came across the blog that her eyes widened in shock and a scream tore from her lips."What? What's wrong? Olivia!" Diana banged heavily on the door. She was passing by when she heard Olivia's scream.Another scream came from the room again and her heart began to pound. Was there a serial killer in there?What was happening to her daughter?"Open the damn door, already, Olivia! What the hell is wrong with you-"The door was pulled open and she came face to face with Olivia's teary eyes.She quickly cupped her face and searched her eyes. There were no bruises on her, she looked alright then what the hell was that all about?She hadn't picked up her phone all morning so there was no way she could know what was going on.Olivia
Evelyn blinked and her lips were being devoured by Lucas. The last thing she remembered was getting into the house with him and now they were kissing like they didn't just return from a hearing.Her heart was drumming fast and the more when touched her ears, hair and back, she was losing her senses, moaning into his mouth as his tongue continued to dominate her mouth.“You taste so good,” he broke the kiss just to mumble, making her cheeks flush till they hurt. “I can kiss you all day.”“Lucas,” the things he said was making her body burn like his hands were cool to the touch, the only solution she needed to keep her sane.She was thanking him for his support just a while ago. How come–Her eyes bulged when he put his hands under her top, touching her breasts and moving his hands behind to unhook her bra.How did he get so skilled with that? No eyes yet he knew just what to do.She moaned when he cupped her breasts as she climbed the stairs with her back to it, wrapping her arms aroun
Evelyn dropped the groceries on the table, humming in delight as she moved back and forth in the kitchen. She was enjoying her leave, thinking of her bosses generosity, the trial and pretty much everything that had happened these past few days.Peter was doing well. She could see it in the way he moved and how jovial he was. Things were finally starting to fall into place.She glanced at the clock and figured it would still be another two hours before Lucas got off work. She could make it just in time by cooking something good-She heard a car pull into the driveway and she froze. She quickly wiped her hands when she heard the car door shut and as she stepped into the living room, Lucas was opening the door.His face was in a big smile when he held her gaze."Hello you," he said, making her heart take a flip with butterflies in her belly as he approached her with a bottle of wine in his hands."Uhm… hey," she responded in a daze. He pulled her into a hug, kissing her on the cheek."Wh
It didn't take long before Evelyn tracked down Olivia's car by tapping into the camera's on the street she drove through. Her hands moved so fast the same way her heart pounded.She couldn't be even a second slow. The pressure was choking her but she managed to remain calm.Lucas noticed the pressure she had around her and he clenched his fist, wishing he could have handled this with his connections but she was faster, of course and more skilled.“We should leave now,” Evelyn announced. “They are headed for a dead end. If we leave now, we can leave before anything happens.” She gulped, already thinking of the worst.The policemen dashed out with Evelyn and Lucas behind them. They got into their separate cars and drove down to the address Evelyn had given.The place was an old warehouse at the outskirts of town. It was dark and spooky. Evelyn could already imagine how terrified Peter would be in the arms of that maniac.“We have the place surrounded. You two stay here and don't move a
"Insanity?" Evelyn scoffed, refusing to believe her ears. "They are pleading insanity? Oh no way! She wasn't insane when she did that! She was fine and in her fucking right mind!"Olivia's lawyer thought it was best to say his client was mentally unstable and Evelyn knew what that meant.She would escape jail time if he managed to convince the judge."I've known Olivia for years and I can tell you that she's never been to a psychiatrist all her life. You have to believe me, Lucas." She pleaded, feeling frustrated already.She paced the floors of the courthouse, chewing nervously at her nails. "She's not mad! She can't get away with this so easily.""Calm down, Evelyn. I'm sure there's a way to go about this," Lucas hoped yet he sounded so sure, Evelyn almost started to relax.Why did it seem like he had everything figured out?She didn't want Olivia escaping jail. That was totally unfair.Even after all the evidence they brought up on her kidnapping Peter, they were going to rule her
ONE WEEK LATEREvelyn grabbed her bags from her desk once it was time to leave the office. She rolled her shoulders as she walked down the road and stopped by a coffeeshop to get some pastries.For the last week, her life had been full of ups and downs, from one drama to the other.“Thank you, come again!” the attendant said with glee and she smiled back politely.She sipped from her hot tea as she walked down the road in the cold with a small bag of pastries in her other hand.She was in no rush to go home. Her first stop was the hospital. She needed to visit Peter as she had been doing every morning and evening before and after work.He was always eager for her visit.She should hail down a cab but for some reasons, she felt like walking. A long stroll to ease her mind from all the chaos she had gone through these past few weeks.Diana was still in jail, no chance of getting out. From what she heard from the warder, she was going through a lot. Her cell mate was a big bully.Evelyn
"Here's a full report on how our stocks dropped my 3%"Mr. Williams sighed as he rubbed his temples. His head was throbbing and he could use a break right about now. It was already 7p.m but he had to stay at the company and have this meeting with his staff.There was a commotion outside and everyone turned their eyes to the door. A woman barged into the meeting and when she walked forward, Mr. Williams was sitting upright."Evelyn?" He asked in shock. What was she doing here?"What is the meaning of this-""Is it true?" She barked, ignoring the fact that this was a company. She was seething with so much anger and the look in her eyes was fierce and terrifying."Don't be such a mad woman, Evelyn. Whatever it is, we can discuss it at home-""I asked if it's fucking true! What happened to my mother, is it fucking true!" She screamed at the top of her voice, ignoring the presence of everyone else.The hall was silent as everyone waited for the CEO to speak. They were dumbfounded by the sh
