Even though she was pretending with Clarissa she was going to make it real just to prove to her father that he couldn't control her. What the hell is with the caveman attitude, Evangel thought angrily as she made her way towards the living room. Her entrance caused everyone to look in her direction. Clarissa saw the anger and sadness in her best friend's eyes and immediately went to her. " Hey, are you alright? " she asked tenderly as she came to a stop before Evangel. The tight control she was holding onto her emotions was slipping and Evangel didn't want to break down in front of Trent and her cousin. " Can we leave, " she whispered her voice heavy with emotions she was barely keeping at bay. Clarissa's clenched at the pain and weariness in her best friend's voice. What happened with her father?

The next day found Evangel sitting at their small kitchen table lost in thought with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was still in her nightwear, a long grey T-shirt that fell just before her knees. The cup was held up with her two hands, one leg up the kitchen chair, a vacant look in her eyes while she stared off the distance. The morning was a little chilly but inside the house was kept by the heater. Evangel troubles thoughts swam around the events of last night. And what had her mind so troubled wasn't the horrible encounter with her father and him acting like a male chauvinist. No, there is just one thought she can't do away with no matter how much she desires it. The kiss. She hadn't been able to put it out of her mind. Last night when they came home Clarissa had acted as if nothing happened. She had wanted to talk about it. I mean that hadn't been part of the plan. She wanted to know how her best friend felt about the kiss and to apologize if necessary. She has always be

Most of the day was spent finalizing things in the hospital, making arrangements for the surgery to go on and signing all the papers that needed signing before her father can be taking to the hospital. Amidst all these Evangel could feel Trent's sharp presence in the room like a strong perfume scent that refuses to go away. After her little talk with her father she had not been able to look him in the face. A fact that is a problem in itself seeing she will soon be getting married to him. Something Evangel wishes in her very heart that she could forget or be a nightmare she has the luxury of waking up from, but she has given her dad her word so this is now her reality. Trent's presence hasn't been all bad, he had given her the comfort she needed to put things in order for her father. If not for his presence she didn't know how she would have carried on.

" How are you and Mrs. Castro? " she asked as she is lead through the familiar long well-illuminated corridor leading to the ballroom in the left wing where the party is being held." She is alright, and will be greatly pleased if you can come around and see her, " Mr. Castro replied with a happy glint in his eyes. Happy to see the woman who is like a daughter to him after such a long while."

I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter twenty six: She doesn't belong to anyone
Every jaw around the table hit the ground when the two women kissed. The room grew silent as the other three could only gawk like idiots. Evangel had only meant for the kiss to be a chaste one to further sell their relationship but the softness and sweetness of Clarissa's lips were one she never expected. She was shocked and aroused by it and hungered for more. She moaned silently into her lips and deepened the kiss. Clarissa was still in shock. She couldn't believe she was kissing her best friend. Her heart thundered like a war drum in her chest as her lips trailed across Evangel's soft ones. Out of their volition, her hand moved up to Evangel's nape to pull her closer as her eyes fluttered close in excitement. Everything else disappeared for the two women as they got lost in each other's lips. The feeling rushing through them was one they never bargained for or even believed possible. No one has ever made Evangel feel this hot just from a kiss alone, not even Trent. She sucked

The tension Veronica's question caused around the table was like a jungle monster huge and scary. Everyone looked toward Evangel to answer, but she wasn't looking at anyone.Evangel swallowed her throat thick with confusing emotions. Her plan had been for her father and Trent's sake, no other family member was meant to find out. What should she do? She jumped out of her skin when she felt Clarissa's hand in hers. She wanted to snatch it away because she could feel Veronica's snake eyes on them but restrained from such an obvious action. Clarissa could feel her best friend freaking out. Admitting their relationship to a fourth party had not been part of their plan but if they can't cross this hurdle now everything will be for nothing and they will come off looking like a fool to her father so there was no other option than to continue. She wished Evangel will say something before their plan unravels. When the silence began to linger a mocking smirk curved Trent's lips. He knew all
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter twenty four : Who are you?
The sound of the bell ringing killed the conversation happening in the living room. The four occupants glanced at one another, questions glaring in their eyes. Who was ringing? " Dad, are you expecting anybody else? Maybe her mother from the grave, " Evangel added in her thought still seething from her dad's latest ploy. What is he playing at? Trent was the last man on earth she will ever want to marry. Maybe telling her father what kind of a man Trent is will cure this madness of making him a son-in-law. Steven glared at his daughter not appreciative of her sarcastic tone. " None that I am aware of, " he looked towards the door as if expecting it to give him a clue as to who is outside. " Castro! " he called The older butler magically puffed up at the sound of his master's voice. " You called sir, " Castro answered as he made his way into the living room from the kitchen, giving his master a curious glance. " Someone is at the door, " Steven told him with a frown trying to
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter twenty three : Party crashers
Trent had a good time with his friends. He had felt like a man bragging about his affair with Veronica while he is pursuing Evangel. His friends had joked and teased him about it and he had preened under their attention but when all that was gone and they became serious. They tried to warn him that his game could backfire fire but Trace had waved their concerns away. How could it? He will make sure that the two women don't meet. And he will keep stringing Veronica along while trying to woo Evangel. He had done it before with the brunette and he could do it again.He whistled in excitement as he drove towards his house. His outing he had with his friends had lasted longer than he expected and it was almost time for his dinner with Evangel and her father. He was looking forward to it. His phone rang from the pocket compartment that separates the driver's seat from the front passenger's seat. He took his eyes off the road for a moment to glance at the glowing screen...Veronica wa
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter twenty two : Meeting her dad
The door to her father's house was huge but not that huge but as Evangel stood in front of it waiting to knock and be let into her charade they looked like a giant gate of hell with the face of the devil himself smiling wickedly at her daring her to do it. " I can do this, " she muttered and moved her hand back to ring the bell but it never made it to its destination because the door was suddenly opened and there stood...Their butlerEvangel jumped back a little though not physically and soon a tight polite smile got fixed on her face. " Evening Castro, " she greeted her butler. The older man stood smiling brightly at his young mistress. The young woman was looking exceptionally beautiful this evening and her presence is sure to cheer his master up. The master of the house has been looking all gloomy since after his party and the butler can't seem to figure out why it is so. But with this dinner, he is sure to get back to his good spirits. The man he knows has lost his laughter

" Breakfast is ready, " Clarissa told Evangel setting down the plate of eggs and bacon on the table and heading off to the fridge to get some juice to go with their breakfast. " Thanks, " Evangel looked up from the laptop towards Clarissa, who stood by the fridge with her apron rooting around inside, and the domesticity of the scene hit her like a slug causing a weird feeling to feel her. What if it was real? Clarissa as her girlfriend, making breakfast for them. A smile appeared on her face at the thought. It wasn't a bad thought. " What is funny? "Evangel jumped at Clarissa's voice then trembled to shake off her smile. " What smile? " she looked innocent but her smile wouldn't stop pulling at her lips. Being with her best friend like this made her happy. Clarissa shook her head at her attempt to play coy even as she was still smiling. " That smile, " she pointed towards Evangel's lips. Evangel quickly wiped her mouth, like a kid caught stealing from the pot and wants to
