Thank you for reading. I'm not feeling well so only have one chapter. I promise to update more when I feel better.
Nina had not seen Evelyn for two days straight and neither was her phone going through. She couldn’t help but get worried. She went to find Jack in his office to ask if he heard or knew anything about her whereabouts. When she walked into his office, Jack raised his head and smiled at her but seeing her worried look, he stood up from his seat and walked towards her. “What’s the matter? Why do you look so worried?” Nina looked up at him. “It’s Evelyn. When you told me her uncle had taken her, I went to look for her at her place but they told me she had gone out to look for a job. And then I tried to call her but her phone was off. Something feels off.” She said, biting her lip. Jack furrowed his brows. He was surprised when he learnt that Damian had let Evelyn go but his friend said it was for the best so he didn’t think much about it. “How about we investigate? Maybe camp at her house to see if she’s really there?” Nina’s eyes lit up at his suggestion. “That’s a good idea.
Damian’s words stung. Evelyn felt her world crumble when he uttered those harsh words about her. Did he just say she was a pet he once used? And Zach could enjoy her if he didn’t mind? Her heart squeezed painfully. Who was Damian to give her away as he pleased? She wasn’t an object. They were talking about her like she was invisible or a stone without feelings. Thinking of how Damian had shown his true colors and insulted her openly, hatred brewed in her heart. When she saw him in the room, her heart thumped louder, she was happy to see him, thinking he was here to save her. But when her eyes landed on Sasha who was leaning into him, her heart dropped. The little hope that had been ignited in her was lost. The two looked like a loving couple that couldn't be separated. ‘So he has already replaced me with her or maybe I was just something he was using temporarily.’ She had thought bitterly in her mind. The pain she was feeling in her heart was unbearable and her eyes
Evelyn was mulling over how she would make her escape when the door to the basement was opened, making her heart leap to her throat. Each time that door opened, she dreaded what her kidnappers would do to her. So far they hadn’t crossed the line apart from training her on how to be an escort but she still had her guard up. She raised her head and glared at Zach who had just walked into the basement with his hands shoved into his pockets. “That was a great show from you and Damian. I almost believed it.” Zach said as he raked his eyes over Evelyn. She was still clad in her earlier outfit. His eyes darkened with lust. He couldn’t deny that she had an appealing body. Evelyn ignored him and turned her gaze away. It was best to keep quiet than to provoke him. Something told her this man had no limits. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Does it mean I’m right? Damian was pretending not to care about you, right?” Evelyn sighed and returned her gaze to him. “If he cared about me he w
Having made up her mind to escape that night, Evelyn waited until she was sure the club would be busy to make her move. Night clubs were the busiest at midnight and she was sure everyone would be occupied to notice her running away. She picked the lock with the small knife she had sneaked into the basement and when the door opened, she stuck her head out and peered around. When she saw no one, she stood on her tippy toes and stealthily walked up the stairs, and went on the left toward the back door as fast as she could. Her heart was racing faster than a galloping horse for fear of being caught. Luckily, as she had anticipated, everyone was busy entertaining clients in the main hall so she was able to walk out of the club without being noticed. Or so she thought. She walked out into the cold night. The surrounding was illuminated by the full moon hanging in the starless sky. A soft breeze kissed Evelyn’s skin and she couldn’t help but inhale it. The basement she was in had
In City B, Zach's territory. Two days had passed without Evelyn being given food or water. She lay tied to the bed in her birthday suit. When it got too cold, she had nothing to cover herself. Not being able to stand it, she caught a cold. No one had come to check on her and with the way she was feeling, she was afraid she would soon die from starvation. Just when she thought she would suffer a horrible death, Zach walked into the room smoking a joint. Evelyn was too tired to move. She looked at him through half-hooded eyes. “Have you come to your senses?” Zach asked when he was near the bed. “Are you still going to try and escape?” Evelyn had no strength to answer. Her throat was parched. She was very hungry and her body was running a fever. Zach didn’t mind that there was no answer. He knew he had already achieved his goal. He had plans to aggravate Damian more tonight. If all goes well, he would be able to determine how important she is to him. He grinned from ear to
Damian felt a pang of jealousy when Zach touched and kissed Evelyn in front of him. He coiled his hands into fists, fighting the urge to get up and punch Zach in the face. He was on the verge of pulling out his gun to kill him. How dare he lay his filthy hands on his woman? He narrowed his eyes dangerously but he couldn’t show any reactions to what was happening to protect Evelyn. He had a plan on how to rescue her and he didn’t want to alert the enemy at this point. There was no need for him to come to this event but he wanted to see how Evelyn was doing. It was not the right time to challenge Zach since Evelyn was still in his grasp. So he had no choice but to turn a blind eye to Zach’s provocation. However, no one knew the turmoil Damian’s mind was going through. A storm of emotions swirled through his chest but he couldn’t act upon them. He could only bury his jealousy and watch as Zach tasted something that should have only been his to taste. Evelyn’s lips were his t
Damian withdrew his hand from under Evelyn’s dress and pressed his index finger to his lips in a shushing motion. He then leaned down and kissed her softly. “Go first, I’ll follow soon after.” He whispered and pushed her towards the door. When she was about to open the door, he pulled her back into his arms by her hand. Grabbing the back of her head, he kissed her fiercely, nibbling on her lips. He let up and stared down at her, his gaze hard. “I’ll come for you. I promise.” Evelyn nodded while biting her lip. Her heart was galloping. She didn’t want to return to Zach but understood that this was not Damian’s territory. Even if he wanted to take her away, the place was surrounded by Zach’s men. It would be a suicide mission. Reluctantly, she opened the door and walked out. Zach was pacing back and forth in the hallway. He looked up the moment the door opened, his gaze landing on the door behind her. Seeing his gaze, Evelyn crouched down to distract him. She wrinkled her fa
Evelyn shivered. Her heart had jumped to her throat, threatening to escape. Zach looked terrifying, staring down at her lecherously. Her heart banged hard and she felt sick. She didn’t want him to touch her. Or any other man for that matter. Only Damian could touch her. Her heart was his. She writhed as Zach pinned both her hands above her head with one hand while his other hand began to take off her clothes. Her eyes rounded. Was this it? If this man managed to do anything to her, she couldn’t even imagine how her life would be afterward. She looked around the room as if she could find something that would help her escape. Desperation filled her soul, her heart squeezing painfully. ‘Damian, where are you?’ He had promised to rescue her but she hadn’t seen the spy he was talking about. Could it be that he had lied? Her heart sank. If he did then she really was doomed. She could hardly push Zach off, how can she defend herself? She closed her eyes as tears poured down her c
Several months later after Nina and Jack’s wedding, Damian held a party for Evelyn to celebrate their fifth anniversary. Unlike their wedding, this event was grand. Damian had decided to introduce his heir, Aiden Hill, the future Mafia boss of his empire. The Country was a much safer place with most of his enemies behind bars and the streets were clean of drugs. Not entirely though but now, he had many on his side fighting for a drug-free Country to protect their loved ones. Evelyn was dolled up in a silver off-the-shoulder gown that was fitted up to the knees then the rest of the gown was flared, touching the ground. The neckline had diamond details with a plunging slit in the middle, showing a little cleavage. Her curves were hugged perfectly by the dress, painting a picture of poise and grace. As for her strawberry blond hair, it was raised up into an elegant updo held together by diamond clips that sparkled when she moved. The simple makeup she put on her face accentuated h
Four years later. “I passed the bar!” Evelyn exclaimed the moment the call went through. “Wow. Congratulations kitten. You deserve it.” Damian’s equally elated voice echoed through the phone. Evelyn had completed her studies a while ago and had to sit for bar exams for her to become a lawyer. The following weeks had been difficult for her because she was worried about her results. It was not easy for one to pass the bar. Evelyn made sure she studied hard and with the help of her husband, she was able to understand most of the cases. Although the exam hit her hard as it was harder than expected. This was why seeing her name on the list of those who made it made her feel emotional. She never thought she would pass the bar on the first try. When she thought about how far she had come, tears couldn’t help but sting her eyes. “I’m so happy Damian. I can’t believe it. It’s a dream come true.” “You worked hard my love. You just got what you worked for. I am happy for you. We shou
Evelyn’s mind was filled with curiosity as Damian carried her out of the plane bridal style. With her eyes closed, she could only rely on what her ears could pick up to try and guess her surroundings. They entered a car and it drove for about an hour or so. Damian carried her once more and she could tell they were now on a boat. The scent of the ocean coupled with the soft breeze that brushed against her skin gave her a refreshing feeling. She wasn’t scared of not being able to see where she was going because Damian was by her side. When the boat came to a stop, she felt Damian carry her again and they soon entered a warm enclosed space that she assumed was where they would be staying. “We are here my love. But, I’m not taking your blindfold off yet.” Damian whispered huskily. Evelyn felt how Damian began to undress her slowly. His hands brushed her skin ever so lightly leaving tingles in their wake and when he finally rolled her panties down her legs, she knew she was in for
When Evelyn and Damian got back together, Damian sent Sasha away to work in the territory he had just taken over. He did this to avoid problems and he didn’t want Evelyn to be uncomfortable. However, Sasha felt aggrieved. She genuinely loved Damian and hoped he would keep her as a plaything forever since she knew he never wanted to get married. He didn’t want any form of weakness in his life. But when he suddenly fell in love and decided to get married, she knew that she was wrong. It was not that Damian didn’t want to fall in love. He just couldn't love her. Jealousy bloomed in her heart when she heard Evelyn was pregnant and then later heard about the wedding while she was doing some work in Zach’s former territory. She was angry that she was cast away like she was nothing. Her place was by Damian’s side but it was stolen by Evelyn. It was supposed to be her who held the lady boss title. The things she had done for Damian... There was no way she would accept walking away em
“Congratulations Eve. You got us all worried.” Nina said to Evelyn. She was seated by her bedside while Damian was holding the baby and Jack was making peek-a-boo faces at him. Evelyn smiled weakly. “I was scared too. There I was waiting to meet my baby and then I suddenly lost consciousness.” Nina held her hand. “I’m glad you’re ok now. You should have seen Damian. He almost lost it. The man really loves you and I can tell he will make you happy. If anyone deserves happiness, it’s you.” She was referring to how Evelyn spent unpleasant years in the orphanage. She had been bullied and there was no one to protect her. When her uncle came for her, they pretended to care for her but when her cousin Mark harassed her, they turned a blind eye. “We both deserve happiness.” Evelyn remarked. The medication she had taken was making her drowsy so she found herself dozing off. Damian noticed this from a distance and approached her. “Sleep, my love. I’ll take care of Aiden.” He promis
Damian raised one of his eyebrows, wondering what Evelyn was on about. He placed her leg that he was massaging down on his lap and stared at her. “What is that supposed to mean?” He asked, bemused at her sudden question. What did she mean by what were his plans for the future? Hadn’t they discussed this already? “Just that. What are your plans?” Evelyn asked again. Her voice rose an octave higher. “Well, you do know my plans. I intend to expand my territory while you get busy with school and also to make this Country a safer place for our child.” Damian replied calmly. “So you don’t plan to marry me? How come I’m not in your plans?” Evelyn yelled, her eyes brimming. Damian was shocked, to say the least. “Where is this coming from? Who said I don’t plan to marry you?” He asked. The poor man didn't understand what was going on. “I asked what your plan was and you didn’t include me in them.” Evelyn responded, her voice shaking. Being in the third trimester, she was becoming
Months later. Nina was preparing for a date with her boyfriend Jack. Things were great for everyone in the past weeks. Evelyn and Damian were expecting so they spent most of their time away from the club and Jack took up most of the work for Damian. Today was one of the rare days that he was having a break so he asked Nina out on a date since they had not gone around much due to their lack of time. Nina was combing her red hair when her mother, Grace walked into her bedroom. “Mom, why don’t you like knocking? One day you will find I’ve sneaked a boy in here.” Nina complained while seated in front of the dressing mirror. “That’s exactly why I don’t knock. Besides, why should I knock in my own house?” Grace sauntered into the room and took the comb from her daughter’s hand and began to comb her hair which was similar to hers. “You know, when you brought that man Jack to meet us, your father wasn’t happy that you started dating so soon. I’m also afraid that I might lose you s
“Nothing you say can change anything. They are gone and you killed them.” Evelyn choked as tears stung her eyes. “And I…” A sob escaped her lips, closing her eyes. “I’m a sinner. I’ve let them down for allowing last night to happen.” Her soul was burning with guilt. She felt like she had no right to go to her parent’s grave because she didn’t stick to her promise. Damian who was seated by the edge of the bed softened his gaze and reached out his hand, stroking her hair. She didn’t dodge this time. Wouldn’t she be a hypocrite pretending like she didn’t want him to touch her? After all, she had let more than an innocent touch happen a few hours ago. “Eve, I didn’t kill your parents.” Damian’s deep gentle voice came. Evelyn thought he was just trying to make her feel better so she didn’t bother to look at him and just continued to beat herself up. “I didn’t even know who your parents are. It was only last night when you mentioned it in your sleep that I decided to investigate
Damian glanced down at Evelyn who lay in his arms, sleeping peacefully. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead, his expression softening. The fire that had erupted between them during their hot session was still vivid in his mind. She still wanted him. Physically at least, she still had feelings for him. That was enough to give him hope. He could win her love back they just needed to talk and sort whatever problem they had out. Damian massaged his temples thinking women were really strange. It was hard to read them. Imagine someone just starts throwing tantrums without explaining their reason for it and expecting you to guess? He was willing to do anything for her as long she stayed with him. Now that he had calmed down and emptied his blue balls, he had a sound mind and could think properly. When he went through Evelyn’s medical files he saw that the pregnancy was eight weeks old. He remembered it was the period after they had Zach locked up in jail. They couldn’t keep
