"When last did we share a drink?" Andrew wondered as he looked to the other two were sprawled on the booth in the private room.

There were over ten drinks on the table and neither of them seemed like they wanted to stop any time soon.

Eric owned the place so he could very well pass the night and he wouldn't mind if they did too but Lucas? He was fucking married.

"It's past 10p.m. Why are you here again?" He asked Lucas who narrowed his eyes at him.

Lucas didn't know what to say to that. He was confused and didn't know what to think.

So last night he texted Evelyn that he would be working overtime which was true because he had some files to look at. He got home early by 3a.m in the morning and he joined her in bed after a shower. They kissed and they even had sex.

The next morning, he woke up alone in bed which was normal and alright. When he got to work, his assistant informed him that Evelyn had taken a sick leave.

According to him, she got to work, felt sick and went back home.

Nevertheless, she rubbed his head and smiled at him.“You did good. You should draw more often,” she encouraged. It was a different feeling seeing him in normal clothes and outside the hospital. Her joy knew no bounds and it filled her heart.He grinned, “Yes, yes, I wanna be an artist. I'll draw something else.

    “ Goodness me!” Morticia exclaimed as she walked into the hall with her husband, Mr. Graham by her side as well as her children.It wasn't just the gold floors or the bright fancy chandelier of the mansion, the decorations looked out of this world.“ I've never seen anything like it!” Liam, the second son of Graham had his jaw hanging loose.Morticia couldn't tell her son to control himself this time around because she too couldn't stop gawking at the place.

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    "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

    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

    "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

    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

    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
