Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 10 Interviews and Bad Day
Lucas dropped her home that night but to her dismay, he drove off, leaving her all to herself again. She didn't know what she was expecting from him but watching him drive away made her chest ache.Evelyn pushed herself for the next week. Instead of wallowing in her misery and loneliness, she went out looking for a job, submitting her application to top companies with her fingers crossed.It had been exactly a week since she did that and was yet to receive any feedback. 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. She could try again or find something small to do but when she opened her email, there was a new message.Her eyes bulged and she almost fell off the chair.An email from CoreLink Group requesting an interview! If this was a dream, Evelyn would never open her eyes again!CoreLink Group was a bigshot! In fact, after its establishment some years back, the company had surpassed

The last strength she thought she would have preserved for more job interviews, escaped her. Evelyn couldn't stop staring at the spot where she had seen Lucas with that woman. Her head played the scene over and over and she couldn't get it out.Evelyn went about the day to different companies for interviews but she did so with a heavy heart.The pit in her stomach and the sinking feeling in her chest suddenly came crashing to her. Had she been somewhat expectant of this arranged marriage?When did she place a little hope and faith in it to feel this overwhelming pull of disappointment?Throughout the ride back home, her thoughts were all over the place.Evelyn couldn't think straight and everything felt heavy. She hated it. She hated how she felt about this.She knew Lucas didn't love her and heck- she didn't love him too. They were just a contract couple. She knew this yet why was she stuck in this feeling?Maybe somewhere deep down, she had hoped to create a real family out of this.

Evelyn sighed heavily as she stepped out of yet another company. After a successful interview, she realised the pay wasn't all that.Why was it so difficult to get a high paying job around here? She just wasn't satisfied with the pay they offered."Why can't every company just be CoreLink?" she grunted as she walked down the street under the scorching sun.Dehydrated and tired as she was, she couldn't return home without at least landing one.It wasn't that the pay wasn't enough for a comfortable life, heck, if she wanted to live recklessly, she could as well take it but she had responsibilities so that alone had its own fair amount in the bills.If she was going to pay Peter's bills and treat his illness more seriously then the only well paying job was CoreLink Company.But since she failed the interview, she had to go about searching for an alternative with a closely related pay but so far, she would have to work two jobs at this point to match that pay.Damn! Why was everything so

"Bitch?" Evelyn mumbled. What was she being accused of this time? Last time she checked, she had walked out of the Graham's dinner party not upsetting anyone and besides, what were they doing here?Diana noticed they had gained quite the attention and a thought crossed her mind. She would do it so that Evelyn never showed her face here ever again!"I am ashamed of you, Evelyn!" she screamed at the top of her voice that anyone who didn't want to listen, would still get the full gist."Fantasising about your sister's boyfriend? How very despicable of you! Have you no shame? Even after getting married, you won't stay the fuck away from people's men!"Ever since Jackson found out Olivia lost the baby, their relationship had deteriorated and they hardly saw him at the mansion anymore.If her daughter's life was going shitty, why should Evelyn have it any easier? Strolling in and out of the hospital like she can afford to pay Peter's bills when they knew she couldn't!Olivia was trembling a

Lucas' gentle hold on her hand as he led her to the car was warm enough but when he pulled open the door for her, she couldn't believe her eyes."Thank you," she mumbled as she got in and he shut the door behind her. She waited patiently till he got in and started the car."How did you get the Dean to show up?" she asked. She had been curious ever since the Dean smiled at him like they were old acquaintances.He glanced at her through the rearview mirror and saw how she stared expectantly for his answer. This wasn't the time to tell her the hospital was under his CoreLink company so he opted for the most suitable lie."It's important to always reach the head of an organisation when things start to spin out of order," he explained. "I simply told him someone was making trouble so he stepped out.""But… how do you know the dean-""I'm a Graham," that wasn't even news."Oh!" she turned away, feeling quite embarrassed that she had forgotten about that. No how, Lucas should still have some

"Thank you," Evelyn said as the elevators dinged and the man stepped out. "Thank you so much," she said again but he simply smiled and walked away.She heaved a sigh, feeling lucky to have met someone so kind on her first day. This was a good sign.When she finally got to the department store, the noise she heard coming from there made her nervous.She walked carefully till she saw her colleagues, moving back and forth getting work done. Everyone had their hands full so Evelyn almost felt intimidated.The sounds of their typing and flipping of books filled her with so much expectations and she stared at them with so much admiration.The atmosphere was what she liked; not being a waiter at some Casino or doing some odd jobs-- this was her field."You're the new girl, right?" a pretty lady walked up to her with a big smile and a warm reception."Yes.""Come," she sized her up. "I'll show you to your table." She led the way and Evelyn followed her in silence before she got her own desk,

Lucas put the document away and reached for the next one without looking. His hand grabbed a hold of nothing and he turned to see he had no more documents to review.When did he finish? He had probably been too immersed in it that he lost track of time.The door opened and his assistant walked in."Is there anything else that needs my attention?" he asked, looking around to make sure he didn’t miss anything."You've finished all your work for today and very early too," Mr. Parker chuckled, pleased at his boss's diligence and hard work. "You have enough time to rest before your appointment tonight. You'll be meeting Mr. Justin, CEO of XX at a restaurant near the company to discuss cooperation matters."He could use the rest after working tirelessly all morning.Also, wasn't today the day Evelyn was supposed to begin work? He could as well find out from Mr. Parker but then he had never asked about anyone. Asking about a woman now would make his young assistant think something else.Sinc

After a nice dinner with Alex, Evelyn took a cab home. She felt a tad nervous after mentioning the salary advance especially after his reaction."Oh!" He sat up straight, blinking in shock. "I didn't expect that but uhm… there are requirements for such and one of them is that you're supposed to have worked for the company for a certain period of time," he scratched his forehead looking sceptical as he spoke."But I guess I could report it to the company just in case," he said. "Let's keep our fingers crossed but Evelyn, don't hope for it too much."She understood what that meant but she also hoped her luck would go before her. If the fee for Peter's treatment wasn't paid within three days, his treatment could be terminated.That alone shook her with fear. She bit down on her nails, thinking of her next line of action.Wait! That dinner with Alex... Did he go home thinking she agreed to dinner just to make profit?"Ugh!" Evelyn put her hands over her face, feeling stupid for a moment t

“ My father has always been a powerful man and my mother? Well, she was just a woman who had nothing but love for her only son,” he chuckled with a fondness that made Evelyn's heart sink.Despite the fact that he was speaking before millions of people - with the press capturing his every word– Evelyn knew who he was really talking to.Details of his past that she never thought he would visit were being told here and now and all for her.“ Death stole her from me. My father remarried. Our relationship turned sour, step siblings were born, and well… attention was divided. I was cut off from the family business and, well, decided to start my own company.”“Away from my father's name, I took on my mother's– a sign that her blessings will continue to be with me. I got married - a contracted marriage and… man!” He sighed heavily.“ The loveliest woman I've ever come across. A heart of gold, a smile full of warmth that actually warmed up this heart I used to think had turned into stone.”The

“ 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 other guests were dumbfounded too as everyone tried to be on their best behaviour.The Graham's said their greetings to some distinguished guests and soon hurled to one side, ogling the place.“ When is this going to start?” Mr. Graham groans. “It's been over an hour now.”The place was packed with guests and a few people from the press waiting to capture the event and the face behind the successful company.“ Maybe everyone's not here yet,” Morticia shrugged but who wouldn't come early for an event like this?Mr. Graham scoff

TWO WEEKS LATERShe mixed the floor in the pan and poured the eggs, stirring it with a small smile on her face as she hummed to a song she couldn't even remember.Evelyn lifted her head when she heard footsteps rushing to her and she smiled when Peter rushed in holding a drawing book.“Look, I drew it!” he cheered, all excited and proud of himself.It was supposed to be a chicken… well if you looked at it somehow, it could be a chicken. 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. What are you making?”She turned to the dough and shrugged, “I'm craving doughnuts.”He almost narrowed his eyes, “ You've been having lots of cravings these days. I didn't know you were a foodie.”,She scowled and scoffed.“Add some for me,” h

"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." We

"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
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 78 Her confession
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
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 77 Mental Asylums
"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
