This never happened before. Congratulations, This is what love is. Evelyn POV:- I was leaning on the wall and staring at the pillar filled with red clothes but I stared at mine and smiled widely looking at it. As I was staring at it, I didn't notice that Lawrence came back from work and stood beside me. "May our marriage last forever." I heard his voice as I squeaked and turned my head and exhaled in relief, "Welcome home," I said. He hugged me and pecked my cheek. He leaned beside me and held my hand. "Sometimes the unexpected can become our salvation," I said. "Yeah... Who thought that I'll have such a blessed life." He said as I rested my head on his shoulder. "I thought this was the end of my world, who thought it was the start of my world," I said as we chuckled. "It's all because of your love." He said. "Our Love." I corrected it. "Do you remember when you were sick?" He said. I laughed a little, "Yeah.." **** I was so sick, this time, Skyler was a year old. Since I
....You have the right to forget me. You have the right to abandon all the hopes I held in my heart. You have the right. But it's different for me because I love you......Evelyn POV:-I was standing in front of the mirror, just finished applying my lipstick and checked myself for the one last time to see how I look."Evelyn! Come!" My mother; Vanessa Sawyer, called me. I sighed, forming a smile and putting my heartbeat to normal by a deep breath and not afflicting my mind in any undesirable thought."Coming!" I yelled back and let out a sigh of disapproval again because no matter how much I dress up He will never notice me. I tried so hard to tell myself that if he doesn't care, why would I? But, My heart just can't get it out of its head. I just can't do it. My heart held those strange feelings for him for as long as I can remember. Just a glimpse of him is enough for me and that's the whole reason why I am going to his brother's wedding. Just a partial view of him is embedded d
...Even if you are not here but your very existence resides deep within my soul- A source of Salvation for me...Evelyn POV:-"SHAWN!!" I heard Aunt Kyla's voice. “What the-” Adrian paused, we both turned to them, perturbed immensely by the sudden scream, gaining attention.Uncle was on the ground panting heavily. We rushed to his side, worried about his condition."Father!" Both brothers yelled and began to rub Uncle's hand."Adrian! Call an Ambulance!" Lawrence said, panicking. Adrian nodded and stood up to call an ambulance. Father also came and bent and held Uncle's hand."Edward... Everything is ruined..." Uncle said as tears formed a screen in his eyes. Looking at him like that I also began to cry.“Uncle…” I sniffled, worried about his worsening state.I have never seen him cry before looking at him like that breaks my heart. Father began to rub Uncle's back."Don't worry, Shawn. I am here." Father said reassuringly."Nothing can save it... No one can save my lost respect n
…Your life with me is my deepest treasure…Evelyn POV:-"I would like to ask for your Son Lawrence's hand in marriage for my Daughter Evelyn." Uncle's eyes widened as I shut my eyes more tightly and let out a silent tear, forcing out a trembling smile to pretend it’s okay."You don't have to marry me, Evelyn," Lawrence said. My father's statement surprised everyone."Yeah, Evelyn, You are like my daughter. You don't have to. I don't want to force you." I sniffed as I wiped my tears."It's alright. I am not that heartless." I stood up and gave a cold look to Adrian who stood there absolutely stunned, staring dead into his eyes with this sentence."If I have to swallow my eternal feelings to save you..." I then looked at Uncle and smiled."I'll gladly do it." My answer shocked everyone in the room. No one expects me to say something like that."Evelyn..." Uncle began to say."How can I ever thank you," Uncle said wiping his tears."I am your daughter. How can I call myself your dau
…I am burning endlessly in my misery. You threw me into that dark abyss so mercilessly. And this is caused by nothing but the fire of my love....Evelyn POV:-I look at my reflection in the mirror and in that reflection there's anything but me. An aristocratic woman with a cold heart torn into pieces stood there. A void girl with exhaust feelings. “Am I doing the right thing?” I whispered under my breath. What am I feeling right now is beyond anyone's understanding- even mine. I don't know what I am thinking or what I should be thinking. I just know that I saved lives by destroying my own. From outside, I looked like an exquisite lady with graceful and ravishing looks. But from inside, I feel like my fragmented heart is in a desolate place all alone in despair with no one to save it.I closed my eyes for a brief moment to escape from my world and remembered the anguish I felt in all those years because of him.***I was 8 years old and was sitting in the hall and mother said, "Eve
…Even though our time together was brief. Even though your fingers intertwined with mine for a brief moment. But, it was the most everlasting moment of my life...Evelyn POV:-I stood still at the Altar with my trampled dream of becoming- Never mind. My blank mind was clouded with different emotions like fear and heartbreak. I felt like my soul is even giving up on me. I closed my eyes for a short-lived solace which I can never receive ever again. I listened to the vows."And in happiness and sadness, I would stay by your side. Holding you close to me whenever you need me."If I recall correctly, Lawrence wrote his vows himself. I never thought I'd be listening to these and like that. That moment I want to leave everything and run without caring for a thing in the world. Away from all this tribulation. But I know I can't. My dried lips and hollow self prepare itself for what the priest is going to say next,"Do you, Lawrence Bayford, Take Evelyn Sawyer as your lawful wife?""I do,
…My life with you is something I would never trade for anything…Evelyn POV:-After getting out of the hall and meeting a whole crowd of media, I and Lawrence sat in the back seat of the BMW, I closed my eyes and leaned back on the seat and let out a sigh. Then I realized that we are going home. My heart began to thump very loudly when the drive began. My blood turns cold by each time we get nearer. I gulped and looked at Lawrence whose eyes were closed. He looked frustrated and my whole being went numb looking at him like that. I never saw him this frustrated before. Terrifying thoughts began to roam in my mind;Living in the same house as Adrian's as his Sister-In-Law, how embarrassing it can be. I just want to be away from Adrian. ‘What if Lawrence knew about me liking Adrian. What Should I do?’Lawrence is stressed, who knows that he is also like me- fake from outside. What if he took out his wrath on me when we reached home. ‘No, Lawrence won't do it, he is a nice guy. What
…I may not be your first love, but I hope I will be your last… Lawrence POV:- Here, we bound her poor soul with me and they are taking it lightly, over-confident as if we will work. How can they be collected about it when I am burning from inside? I know Evelyn doesn't have a lover but what if she likes someone else? What if she doesn’t accept me? Anything could happen but despite all this, she agreed for this marriage. I am deeply grateful for her. “Okay, here goes nothing.” I sighed. My heart began to beat so fast. Maybe I shouldn't go. I gulped and took a deep breath and opened the door and went inside. I walked closer, my body felt frozen with strange sensations. I looked at Evelyn, the moonlight was falling on her face enhancing her features more. She gave me a scared look and turned her gaze away from me. “Evelyn…” I should have known. Was she always scared of me? I walked towards her and leaned on the other side of the window. She didn't dare to lift her gaze. I th

...She was like the only flower fully blooming in the garden filled with wilted flowers... Evelyn POV:- I smiled as my raven lock fell on my back. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and looked exquisite, Such bewitching looks. I smiled as I wore that red frock that Lawrence gifted me on our first wedding anniversary. I didn't wear it before because I wanted to wear it when Skyler grew big enough to wear it. I applied a red lipstick and Skyler, who look really pretty in it whined that she also want to apply makeup, "No, Sweetie, Kids don't wear makeup." I scold. She pouted as I giggled and patted her back. "You're already so beautiful, You don't need it," I said as her face lit up again. We got ready and looked in the mirror for the last time. I smiled widely as I held the pendant Lawrence gave me in my hands and let this feeling of benediction fill me up. By the way, I am elated for this special occasion. What occasion? Adrian and Danielle's wedding. Ever since they agr
...With those teary eyes, filled with hope, she looked at me and I stood still. Thinking, whether I should forgive her for the pain she caused me or I should bear the scar and leave her behind just like she did... Evelyn POV:- It's been a month and everything is pretty much normal. We all are back to normal. And here I am, trying to put my daughter to sleep. Seems like she is on some sort of sleep strike. She is not sleeping at all. It's night and she hasn't slept all day so in the night. Lawrence was looking at me as I was walking in the darkroom with my precious pearl in my arms. I continued to hum as she is constantly giggling and I am too sleepy. I continued to walk as she continued to giggle. For a second, everything calmed down and a spark of hope that she's asleep filled me but it faded away when I heard Lawrence voice, "Not sleeping, huh?" And upon hearing her father's voice Skyler jumped out of my arm and thankfully even in the dark, she didn't fall on the ground. B
The beguiling looks that made me move closer to you, that made me submerge in those eyes that glisten with the love for me. But, not anymore... Evelyn POV:- "Stop it! All of you!" We heard a voice and turned to see a girl resembling Myra standing there. She was crying and walked closer. Myra hands begin to tremble as she produces a vague sound, "Hellen..." My eyes widened in shock when I heard it. Lawrence looked at her as if he knew that she would come here. "Stop it... " She said in a low tone. I continued to look at her. "What are you saying? They-" Myra was cut off when Hellen yelled, "That was all a lie! Nothing like this happened!" By her words, Myra was taken aback so am I. Lawrence POV:- Finally, Hellen came, She just recently came back. We met a few weeks ago. and before coming here, I told her about this and to come here as well. Thank God, She came at the right time. *** I was in my office then I was told that she is here to meet me. "Hey.." Hellen smiled and en
When you are not here, my heart seeks you like crazy because a partial view of yours is enough for me to lose myself in your love... Evelyn POV:- "Evelyn!" "Evelyn!" "Evelyn!" I heard my name being called over again over again. I slowly opened my eyes and comprehended my surroundings and the sudden realization hit me about what happened. I quickly sat up as a sudden pain shot through my body but bearing it, I looked around and saw Lawrence holding me close. Tears pricked in the corner of my eyes. "Lawrence... Where's Skyler?" I asked in a panic. He remained silent. I held his shirt and asked again. "Tell me Lawence! Where's Skyler?" Tears began to fall followed by a stream of them. "Please... Lawrence. Tell me.." I put my head on his chest and continued to cry. He rubbed my back and kissed my head. Filled with dread, that was my sweet daughter. My body began to quiver in dread that might not happen to my Skyler. No, I don't want to think about these scary things. "Nothi
....I knew we were meant to collide, What I didn't know is that colliding into you will make me crumble... Evelyn POV:- We reach the Bayfords land. The property belongs to Lawrence. Since it has nothing but forest, I was perplexed by this. When there's nothing, why are we here and, to be honest, I haven't been here before. This is my first time coming to Bayford lands. "Lawrence, Where are we going?" I asked. "Somewhere alone." He replied with a smirk. "Alone!" Syler shouted in excitement. I shook my head and looked out of the window. The view was beautiful. The forests, giving a feeling of a heavenly lull I feel relaxed by this. Finally, after a painfully long ride, We reached a lone house in the woods. It was beautiful. The woodwork is admirable. I smiled when I looked at it. Lawrence got out and took Skyler out. "Papa, Race!" Syler shouted. "Let me put all the stuff inside first," Lawrence said and Skyler nodded. "Come, Skyler," I called her to come inside but she shook
..And the feelings you evoked within me can never be explained by some mere words. I am so fascinated by your charm and I have found myself getting close to you. And all the things aside and my first meeting with you aside...Adrian POV:-I can't believe that my father wants me to marry Danielle. I can't marry her. I knew that father would also force me to marry a girl of his choice just like he did with my brother but Danielle is just too far away. I never thought that I'd have to marry her. She and I can't be together. We are not meant for each other.It's midnight and I left to see Danielle talk to her about it. I knocked on the door and she opened it. Her eyes look void like she can't feel anything. I looked away and said, "Let's talk on the rooftop." She gave me a nod and we left to talk on the rooftop.Danielle leaned on the railing and I put my hand on my neck as awkwardness filled me up. "Listen, Danielle..." I trailed off and began to think about what I should say, "What do
... I have a dream. You come in my dream. I have become yours and you have become mine in it and I wish that I will never wake up from it...Evelyn POV:-"Skyler!" I called out to my one-year-old daughter who has recently learned how to walk and grew 6 teeth. We all are amazed at the fact how she is growing that fast.Since she is the only baby and the joy of the house she is near everyone's heart. I walked downstairs and saw Adrian and Lawrence playing tag with Skyler. I sighed and bent and called her, "Skyler." Upon hearing my voice she came running towards me and hugged me. I picked her up and tickled her. I kissed her forehead and took her with me to feed her. The hardest task ever."Skyler!" I called her name childishly so when she opened her mouth I could shove the spoon of vermicelli in her mouth and she did. I fed her and after washing her face which was always decorated with the food she ate, We went down.Adrian took Skyler from me and left me in the empty hall. I huffed
...I don't know when and how you become my reason to worship. I don't know when I lost control over my heartbeat. I don't know when you become a habit of mine but I know one thing, the feeling is bliss...Evelyn POV:-After the press conference, We all were having dinner and it was full of chattering as usual. We all were talking then Danielle called Lawrence. He excused himself and left. After a few moments, he came back."What was it about?" I asked. "You know, about the conference. She is squeaking like a fangirl." Lawrence replied monotonously. I let out a chuckle and continued to eat."I feel so lucky to be your wife," I whispered to him. He smirked and held my hand under the table. "Is that so?" He whispered back. I smiled and nodded.I love this feeling of ultimate pleasure I receive when he is near me.A Few Weeks Later:-Everything is back to normal and we are living our lives. I feel so fortunate to have a husband like Lawrence. He is my everything. And I am feeling extreme
