Except for her there is no woman Trent has ever been with that regrets being with him. He always makes sure to leave his women with a smile on their faces even when he isn't going to call them back.Her constant denial that she wasn't going to marry him made Trent want to marry her even more just for the sake of having the last laugh.They were still on the topic of the brunette marrying him and her preferring girls, not that he was buying it when they were joined by a party of two.His attention was immediately snagged by the young woman who accompanied the man.She was hot and bore a striking resemblance to Evangel.

Probably cousins or something because when they were dating he knew Evangel to be the only girl.Initially he had thought her the only child and had only found out about an older brother deep into their relationship.

I didn't think it will take this long to get to my cousin who is on the other side of the room. It shouldn't have but I lost count of the number of guests that stopped me on the way to ask about Trent. Maybe because I was trying to hold in my anger that I forgot how to count.Finally, I got to my destination.The beautiful welcoming smile that lit up his face when he saw me went a long way to calm my anger, because I was almost boiling by the time I reached him." Why the long-face princess? " He asked once I was within reach. A little frowny expression appeared on his handsome face.Tito is one of her favorite cousins. He is the son of her father's third brother, Jacob. The Clark clan is so big with so many uncles and aunties, and plenty of cousins to keep track of.With her brother away all the time, Evangel would have felt like the only child had it not been for her family. But of all of them, Tito was the best. They get along so well that most think of them, as real brothers and s

" Ew! " Evangel made a face, and then sobered up as she regarded her cousin seriously." Stay away from him, " she warned. Her cousin is always attracted to the badboy types but Trent doesn't just flaunt the badboy look he is bad." Why? "Evangel thought back to high school and how Trent and his friends had beat up a guy because he was gay." Let's say he is a dangerous homophobic. " " How did you know? " There was plain curiosity written all over Tito's face as he regarded his cousin. Evangel can be a little secretive when it comes to her life. He was her favorite cousin yet he barely know much about her." We had a history in high school, " Evangel muttered reluctantly. She didn't want to bring it up but knew it was futile to hide it because soon everyone in the family will know unless she doesn't know her cousin Veronica well. She was certain that her beautiful cousin would have wiggled out her history with Trent by now.Evangel's face flushed red with heat at the thought of the
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Should I risk it
Trenton and Veronica dance lit up the whole room like the so many fancy Chandeliers hanging off the ceiling of the room, gathering everyone's attention except for one person as they moved fluidly and sensually to the classic permeating the room like air.Their perfect synchrony and beautiful movement sparked up the tension in the room as some of the spectators watched them with interest, and some with something else in mind.Trent was enjoying al the attention on him because he has always loved being the center of attraction but there was only one person's attention he was interested in. His eyes whisked away momentarily from the sensual bundle that is the woman in his arms to the one the one he wanted in his arms, but landed on the wrong group of people.Two elderly well dressed gentlemen and their equally fancy looking older wives who were gawking at him like he is some steak displayed on the grilling machine cooked and yummy ready to be consumed.A smug smirk curved his lips as he
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Why don't you bring her to dinner.
When Evangel reached her cousin Tito who stood behind the gathered crowd she moved in behind him and used her front knees to nudge him behind his knees causing them to bend and him to stumble forward smacking into the next person ahead of him. She muffled her amusement with the back of her hand. " Sorry, " Tito apologized to the man in front of him before turning sharply to his cousin a deep frown knitting his forehead. " What did you do that for? " he hissed through tightly glaring at the laughing blonde. " Serves you right for pawning me off back there, " she retorted, her blue eyes glittering with amusement. Tito huffed at her exaggeration. " Firstly, I didn't pawn you off, you are not a piece of jewelry. Secondly, it is just a dance, I didn't think you minded. "" Well, I did, " Evangel responded in all seriousness losing all trace of humor in her face. The last thing she wanted to be was in Trent's arms not with the way her body was acting around him, or for him to find out sh
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter fifteen: will you have dinner with me?
Trent was greatly surprised when Evangel's old man called out his name to come up and join him as he cut his birthday cake. The sound of his name generated a curious buzz as people began to wonder who he was. When he finally made an appearance from between the gathered crowd___ his cocky, and arrogant confidence in place___the buzz changed. The crowd began to wonder what his relationship with the celebrant family was. It amused him how quickly they jumped to associating him with Evangel. The speculation was about him being her boyfriend. A faint smile stretched his lips when he looked to feel twin blue orbs glaring daggers at him. Judging from the deep frown pulling at her brow he wasn't the only one picking up the speculations. It must incise her that her dad had called him up, knowing it will spark up rumors about them. Knowing the woman, she would hate having people think they are together. The old man's action proves that he wasn't the only one desperate for this union and that
I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter sixteen: I need your help
Evangel snorted when her eyes fell on Trent to find him still attached to her cousin. " Changed my foot, " she scoffed to herself and began heading for the door. It irritated her that seeing him with her cousin made her jealous. Why do I still feel this way, even though I have convinced myself I was over him, she wondered, her irritation building? Evangel heard her name being called by a familiar voice and ignored it. With the mood she was in she didn't think she wanted to deal with Trent. If she never sees the guy again that wouldn't be too much to ask for her peace of mind. But knowing his tenacity she didn't think she was going to have this particular wish granted. Once she was in the hallway, she pulled her phone out and dialed her driver. " I am ready to leave, " she barked into the phone as soon as he picked up. " Will be waiting out front, " was the immediate reply she got. Evangel heard footsteps hurrying in her direction and guessed that Trent must have come after her. Why

I CAN'T MARRY THIS BASTARD Chapter twenty eight: Your father is in the hospital
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.

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?

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.

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.

" 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.
