6:30 a.m.
Evelyn's P.O.V.
Scorching rays of the sun burned my skin waking me up from my deep slumber. I squinted my eyes a little.
Oh God!!!
I saw Dylan hugging me while my head was on his chest and his arms were wrapped around me tightly. I panicked and pushed him a little that seem to have woken him up. He looked at me and I immediately pushed him back. I got up but my blood froze when my eyes landed on the shreds of dress which were scattered all along the floor.
My eyes widened in horror. I immediately looked down only to find the front part of my dress was torn. My cleavage was on display but it was a relief to see that I was still covered. I quickly covered my chest with my hands. Dylan got up from the bed and tried to touch me but I screamed on fear.
Evelyn: NO! STAY BACK!!
He flinched by my raging growl
(Warning: Mature content 18+) Xander's P.O.V. Evelyn: Why are we here? Eve asked me confusingly as I stopped the car near a cafe. Xander: I have heard that they give good breakfasts. I spoke nonchalantly while loosening my seat belt. She looked at me in shock. Evelyn: But I had my breakfast. Xander: But I didn't. I chuckled looking at her confused face.I then unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door. She also came outside. Xander: Shall we go? I asked while extending my hands for her to take it. Eve smiled and I intertwined my fingers with her and led her inside the cafe. I pulled the chair for her to sit. Xander: Ladies first. Eve chuckled and sat down. I also sat beside her. Evelyn: Why didn't you had your breakfast? Xander: Hmm? Just think I wanted to have it with my beloved. I winked at her. Her e
It's been two weeks since Dylan and Evelyn got together. Dylan was too much soft on her and started caring and pampering her a lot. Maria was also happy for both of them as she already knew it from the starting that Dylan loved Evelyn very much. But Evelyn wasn't happy. Although she gave Dylan a chance to improve himself but she was herself in a dilemma as he had left too deep scars on her soul leaving her heart wounded. It was definitely true it would take time for her to forgive him completely. Evelyn had forbidden Dylan not to reveal their relationship to Xander and Brandon to which he happily agreed. She was still friends with them and didn't want to get their friendship affected by this new relation. However, Dylan had started becoming uncomfortable because of the closeness between Brandon and Evelyn. Since the past few days, Brandon was getting so much close to Evelyn. He would stick with her all the time and would get jealous when she would talk to Ian and Xan
Black Estates 6:00 p.m. "I JUST DON'T GET IT" Brandon screamed on top of his lungs as he banged his fists on the table with a loud thud. Xander: Calm down Bear. Xander tried to hold his shoulder but Brandon jerked his hands off him and shouted. Brandon: HOW THE FUCK CAN I CALM DOWN? I MEAN HOW CAN THEY JUST CALL OFF THIS DEAL? THEY THEMSELVES HAD SAID THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH US!! I KEPT WAITING FOR THEM LIKE A FOOL FOR THE PAST ONE HOUR BUT WHAT DO I GOT IN RETURN? NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! DAMMIT!! He bellowed and again slammed his fists on the table angrily. Dylan: STOP IT NOW! Dylan yelled and grabbed his wrists in his palm. Brandon yanked away his hands and glared him furiously. Although Brandon was a nice and friendly guy but he was also egotistic. When it comes to business, Brandon Tate is a guy whom no one should e
Evelyn's P.O.V. Evelyn: Dylan There stood my husband and my tormentor Dylan Black dressed up impeccably in his Armani suit looking like a handsome devil. He was standing right with his arms crossed over his chest as he stared directly in my scared eyes. Glaring me with his red rimmed eyes he took threatening steps towards me making my heart shudder violently. Dylan: Leave. He spoke in a husky voice while his eyes were glued on my trembling figure. The driver bowed to him and quickly got in the car. I also turned around and opened the door hastily. I was about to get inside when I felt a harsh grip on my left arm pulling me back. Evelyn: NO!! LET ME GO!! I screamed my lungs out and I tried to yank his hands off me but he only increased his grip and dragged me all the way from there. I kept screaming and shouting for help. Dylanthen took me inside his penthouse and threw me in harshly. I lost my balan
Evelyn's P.O.V. Evelyn: Dan, s-stop you're scaring me. I whimpered as Dylan stared at me with an intense gaze. All of a sudden, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the bed. I panicked but he quickly held my shoulders and made me sit. Evelyn: D-Dy-Dylan? Dylan: Ssshhhh.... Dylan hushed me by putting his index finger on my trembling lips. He then took out something from the drawer. I couldn't see it well as the lights were too dim. He then grabbed my right-hand and... *Click* My eyes widened as he handcuffed me to the bed. Evelyn: W-WHAT A-ARE Y-YOU D-DOING? I started shouting in panic. Dylan immediately grabbed my chin harshly and made me look up at him. Dylan: Don't.yell.okay? He spoke with gritted teeth and yanked away my face harshly. He immediately grabbed his coat from the couch and put it on. Evelyn: WHAT THE HEL
"Cry, Forgive, Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness" - Steve Maraboli Black Mansion 7:00 a.m. Maria's P.O.V. "Mom, get up." I opened my eyes a little only to see Eve smiling at me while holding a tray in her hands. She sat beside me and placed the tray on the floor gently. Maria: Child? I looked up at her only to see her smiling at me. Evelyn: Good Morning Mom. My eyes widened a little but slowly a smile crept on my face as I saw her happy. Maria: Good Morning my child. I sat up and looked at her. Maria: Why did you got up so early Eve? And why did you make my breakfast? Evelyn: Why? Can't I make breakfast for my Mom? She spoke while pouting cutely. I
"Don't push away the ones who really loved you because once they're gone, they never come back" Evelyn: Ian? Evelyn exclaimed happily as her eyes shone with excitement watching the tall brunette staring her with teary-eyes. Ian immediately ran to and clasped her in his arms. Ian: OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!! MY BABY PANDA!! I can't believe this. He started yelling while hugging her tightly while Evelyn just chuckled and hugged him back. 'Rather they both know that someone was watching them from afar with red eyes and clenched jaw.' Dylan was staring them while holding the steering wheel in a death grip. His knuckles turned white as he saw that fair guy giving Evelyn a bear hug. Dylan: What.the.fuck.is.going.on? He snarled with gritted teeth while his face turned red with anger. Meanwhile Eve
"The truth always comes out in the end, No matter how hard anyone tries to hide it or stop it. Lies are just a temporary delay to the inevitable." Black Estates Inside CEO's office 11:25 a.m. Dylan's P.O.V. Evelyn: So, if we check the previous records of Smith Corporation, they are renowned as the richest investors and they would be the most appropriate shareholders for the company. Talking about Smith Enterprises, they do invest a huge amount of money but only when they are totally satisfied with the project and expect favourable or you can say beneficial outcomes. So, we need to plan a more efficacious strategy which should be more accurate and goal-oriented. In this way we will be able to attract affluent investors that would also be capable to support the com
Evelyn's gaze landed on Mr. Swift who was standing in front of her along with the senior police officer, Detective Drake Anderson. Detective Anderson was a good friend of Dylan’s dad Mr. Black. Anderson gave a death glare to Dylan and his parents. He then walked towards Mr. Black and grabbed his arms. "You're under arrest for abusing, humiliating, blackmailing your daughter in law and also for trying to kill her parents. I am so shocked and also disappointed with you, Wills. Despite being a respected and famous business magnate of America, you committed such a disgusting crime. You should be ashamed of yourself. Your shameful and odious acts had not only me let down but had also brought a shame in our society." He spat in disgust and handcuffed him. A lady officer then handcuffed Mrs. Black who was weeping silently on her sordid life. Dylan raised his hands in air and let the cops handcuff him, his eyes never left Evelyn who was staring everything
The party which was on its full swing a few minutes before deluged with sheer silence. Shocking gasps and murmurs could be heard in the dark hall after Dylan's shocking confession. He was still on his knees, talking to Evelyn with a sorrowful voice while she kept listening to him patiently. Dylan: I know Eve. I know whatever I’ll say, neither it would make any sense nor it will be useful as it's high time now. But just let me confess my sins today. He cried. Evelyn still didn't utter a word. Dylan took her silence as a cue to continue further. He immediately stood up on his feet and faced everyone who was watching him with bewilderment. Dylan then heaved a deep sigh before speaking in his husky voice. Dylan: I know that this news must have come as a shock to you all but it's the truth. Evelyn Clarke was earlier the manager of her dad’s company, Clarke Enterprises. I met her in US around three years ago. She caught my eyes at our first meet and arouse
At Blue Moon hotel Brandon's P.O.V. Xander and I have been waiting for Evelyn and Aunt Maria for the past 30 minute but there was no sign of them. Xander kept glaring his shining Rolex every now and then impatiently while I was also getting fretted as to what was taking them so long. This hotel was none other than mine. I personally choose this venue as it would avoid unnecessary hassles and also to avoid my sick friend, Dylan Black. The hall was festooned with golden and black colour balloons and a golden chandelier was dangling from the ceiling whose golden rays was illuminating the whole area. The stage was decked with pink and purple curtains. Only Evelyn's close friends that are Lily, Ian and Rose were invited to the party and the decorations were kept simple and beautiful, just the way she wanted. I was waiting eagerly for Evelyn. Since our heated argument, Xander was giving me a cold shoulder. I know Xand
Brandon: HURRYYYYYY!!!!!!! Xander: WAIT IDIOT!! I WOULD HAVE TUMBLED UPON THE STAIRS. Xander yelled while gripping the wooden railings at Brandon who was standing at the entrance wearing a scowl. Well, Xander and Brandon had thrown a grand party for Evelyn's birthday in Blue Moon Hotel. They both were ready in their expensive Armani suits and were looking devilishly handsome. Xander abruptly stopped near the staircase. He then walked to the mirror that was placed on the left side of the staircase and started checking his hair. Brandon: WE'LL GET LATE MARILYN MONROE!! Brandon shrieked and grabbed Xander's left elbow making him flinch. Xander: What the- At least let me check my hair. He whined and tried to snatch his arm but Brandon tightened his grip further. Brandon: Do it in the car. We are getting late. Come on man, we are the hosts of the party and it's our duty to reach on time. Have you ever seen that guest
Black's Palace 12:00 a.m. Evelyn was in deep slumber when all of a sudden, she felt something soft beneath her. Her brows furrowed and unconsciously she removed her hand from her eyes and touched it. Her breathhitched. It was a bed. Evelyn immediately opened her eyes as she sprang up but was immediately pushed down by a heavy weight that was placed on her lower waist. Shelooked down only to see a veiny, muscular arm wrapped around her waist possessively. Her brows creased in confusion. She turned her neck to the right only to flinch back in fear. Dylan was sleeping right beside her; his face held an expression of peace and content. Evelyn instantly jerked away his hand. Dylan frowned and opened his eyes only to see Evelyn glaring him. But to her surprise, Dylan looked at her and his lips broke into a smile. Evelyn: Why am I- "Happy birthday my Genie"
"Whatever you do, never run back to what broke you" Evelyn's P.O.V. I got off the bus and started walking towards the Black's Palace. My mind was a mess. All the hectic events of today had totally exhausted me. I looked around only to see a few kids playing with each other, few couples walking while smiling and cuddling with each other. My heart twitched with pain as I saw these carefree people who are enjoying their life and then there's me whose life is a no more than a melodrama. I don't know why people can't let me live in peace. I don't know what wrong I have done with everyone. Neither I fought with them, nor badmouthed about them, nor mocked them nor passed them rude taunts. Then why the hell they are bothering me? Why can't they just let me live in peace? ~Flashback Brandon: You're coming with us and I won't take a no as an answer.
Black Estates, America Evelyn had locked herself in a random cabin and was pacing back and forth like a mad woman. She wasn't asleep, she was just pretending. Dylan got a call from Mr. Swift and he immediately left. Taking the chance, Evelyn ran out of his cabin not caring about the weird glances which she was receiving by the people who were present in the hallway. She went inside a random room and locked herself inside it. Evelyn was utterly terrified of Dylan. The fire which she saw in his eyes was not of anger or lust but of madness and a sick obsession. Madness to have her, obsessiveness to possess her. Evelyn was sick of him. She wanted nothing to do with him anymore but does he even care? She thought finally she had moved on, finally she could live her life as a free bird. She knows that she won't be able to get her original life back, her original smile back, her original dreams back but still she was optimistic as she can at least spend the
"W-Wait, what are you doing?" Evelyn rushed to Dylan with tottering steps. Her heart was hammering in her chest wildly. She had never imagined that one day she had to stop her own tormentor from confessing his sins. The situation was frivolously ironic. But was that the only reason? Evelyn: Please Dylan! Evelyn ran to him and immediately pulled his hand which was about to grab the knob. Dylan turned his head to the side and looked in her eyes which were desperately pleading him to stop his madness. Dylan: Leave. He spoke in a calm but deep voice. But Evelyn didn't budge instead she tightened her grip. Evelyn: No, please. Don't do this. She spoke in a heavy voice. Dylan turned around and pulled her towards himself making her land on his chest. Her eyes widened in shock. He then coiled his arms around her waist and looked straight in her eyes. Dylan: Why? Don't you want that?
Black Estates Inside CEO's cabin Silence. An eerie and dead silence crawled inside the closed room after the three words escaped her lips. Everything turned so still that one could even hear a pin drop. No words were exchanged after that heated conversation. Evelyn looked at Dylan nervously, her hands were trapped in his large ones. He was still sitting on his knees in front of her but he was quiet, awfully quiet. His posture had turned rigid. His gaze was fixed on their intervened fingers but his face held an unfathomable expression. Deadly calm and stoic. But Evelyn wasn't able to digest his calmness. It only meant two things... One, he was shocked and was left with no words. And the second, She didn't even want to think about it. That mere thought was enough to giv
