Evelyn's povIt always of a couple of seconds and my father was already at the door, he ushered me in and he could understand the signal in my eyes that I didn't want the other person that was next to me to follow in as well, so he quickly came and casually blocked the entrance to his office when his stepson was actually trying to make an attempt to come in. “Kelvin, I'm sorry but if you want to speak to me you will have to come another time,”. From over his shoulder, I could see this disappointment that was written all over his face. He really thought that he was going to step in with me. I guess he needed to be shut down like this because I was telling him he looked ridiculous and I could see his face getting red. “Oh, I can stand outside until you're done…” I rubbed my fingers against my forehead at this point. This guy could not really read a hint even when it was thrown right at his face. Even my father, who was usually a fountain of patience, was not like that to him today.
Evelyn's pov I was about to leave when my father called me back and he told me that he had some questions for me as well and I felt my body tense up. I reluctantly agreed and turned around hoping that he would not ask me any questions that would put me in a tough position. I was hoping to confront him to get him to tell the truth if that was really the truth.Just before my father could say anything the door was plastered open by one of the guards and he looked at him with surprise, the guard was sweating as he related that there was a commotion in front of the mansion, that a huge crowd of people had gathered in and he could not tell the reason why but in case it was a violent one we had to be protected. I furrowed my eyebrows with annoyance.“What are you talking about? If there is an issue then I'm supposed to be there to deal with it, don't worry Father there shouldn't be a reason for a mob outside, so I'm going to just check, I'm sure it's nothing violent,”My father ran his fi
Evelyn's pov My eyes immediately widened with shock and I shook my head to shun away from such a terrible suggestion and besides I didn't know what she was really capable of or if she was just lying and I didn't care. “I'm already married to him, I'm sure that gives us as much compatibility as possible. We have been married for a while and there have been no issues,” She looked at me spreading her hands across the table that she had placed on the street. Her face appeared to be so amused as if she was about to burst into laughter at any point in time, like I had just told her the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.“Well where is he now?” her question felt like I was being grabbed by my throat, but I quickly adjusted myself and told her that it was none of her business where my husband was right now and I didn't have to explain anything to her. “So from what you are saying he's not with you right now?... Then perhaps he is with someone else…”I could feel my blood boilin
Evelyn's pov I couldn't believe what my ears were telling me, especially since the words were coming from somebody that I thought was my friend but was actually not my friend. It was someone who was just waiting for the perfect moment to betray me. Obviously, if she was working with Kian she couldn't have good intentions for me. “What do you mean that my relationship with him will bring doom?”I asked her interrogatively and she played the Palm on her head shaking from side to side saying that I should not doubt her prophecy, that she had never seen a score that was as bad as mine.“Not only will you make each other miserable but you will ruin the lives of other people. It will be so terrible and any fruits of that Union will be a curse to the world…”I wanted to brush away what she was saying but then the doubt in my heart started to grow. Truly if he had stayed back and my father found out everything he would have been hunted down and in the situation where he most likely survived
Evelyn's pov Those words came out of my mouth before I could even stop them but I knew that they had been buried in my heart for far too long and what she said provoked me to speak even if it sounded foolish. At first, she let out a very dry laugh. “So you're telling me that despite the warnings that I have given you, you are still going to pursue after him. Do you know how insane that makes you sound? Isn't the safety of your people supposed to come before everything else?”For someone like her, she was really going so far I thought in my mind before I responded to her, “I understand everything that you have said, you claim that our Union will bring disaster to the world, well it still doesn't change my feelings for him even if you like it or not,”She appeared to be so appalled as if she was going to throw up on the sidewalk at that moment because of my words alone then she planted her hands definitely on her hip and told me that I was just joking but I couldn't be serious about
Evelyn's pov I was quiet and my silence alone was enough to tell her that I didn't know that much about him; she immediately landed on that with glee.“Here you are declaring your unending love for him, and he doesn't even feel remotely the same way. If not he would have told you the truth but he didn't…”I opened my lips while my mouth was dry and I knew that I couldn't defend him. I was sure about my feelings but I was not 100% sure about his own. There was still a chance that all of this was nothing but a game to him.If he was serious about me, why didn't he tell me this? He should have been able to but instead, he intentionally held back on that information. I had nothing to say back to Hailey, bitterly I turned around and she continued to pour more and more insults on me but I was so overwhelmed that I didn't even hear her at some point.I returned back home and made a beeline for my bed quickly before anybody could interrupt me or catch me and start asking several questions th
Evelyn's pov When I fell asleep, then I got into a deep dream I found myself in the woods and it was dark at night but the light of the moon kept everywhere bright, I was struggling to get up on my feet and then someone suddenly stretched out their hand, I was so desperate that I was ready to just reach out and hold on to the person's hand until I got a look at the person's face.Quickly I took my hand away as if I was about to touch an electric naked wire and I could see the hurt that came over his face when he noticed that but he quickly wiped it away and offered his hand again to me which I also refused again. “What am I doing here? And what are you doing here? You're supposed to be as far away from me as possible, by now you're not supposed to be here right now. I need you to leave…”I said, as I struggled my way up to my feet and then he shook his head. He told me that he was not leaving unless I gave him a chance, but I didn't want to listen to him. I didn't want to give him a
Evelyn's pov At first, like every other normal person, I wondered if I was hallucinating but his touch was so real, that I could feel the warmth that ran across my cheek as soon as he pressed his hand against me and it was startling as it was exciting.But I quickly got back to my senses. He was not supposed to be here, he was not supposed to be on top of my bed and he was definitely supposed to be several miles away, so why on earth was he here? He had a sly smile on his face, it was like he could tell just how mortified I was by everything, he wasn't supposed to be here, I had made so many arrangements to make sure that he would be as far away as possible not for him to crawl back into my bed, well there was a solution for everything. I told him that he had to leave as soon as possible I didn't want my sacrifice to be in vain, and then he dropped a bomb on my head, he told me that he had been interacting with me when I had been asleep and he knew how I felt I could feel the blood
