The Game of Pretence

last update Last Updated: 2023-11-25 02:16:38

Evelyn was roused with the most heartbreaking news that someone had shot Dominique Blanchett. It was a deadly attack.

Evelyn was shocked out of her wits. She wasted no time and rushed to the hospital where she was met with a sobbing wife who was crying helplessly in her son’s embrace. They were no other than Mrs. Blanchett and Theodore. Theodore was fighting hard to control his tears while consoling his broken mother.

Evelyn took baby steps in their direction, her eyes turning misty.

“What happened, Theo?” She asked Theodore who immediately turned stiff as a board as soon as he heard her. Fear crept in his eyes but he pushed it back and turned to face her.

“I-I don’t know. Someone shot him last night. Dylan was the one who took him to the hospital.” He replied to her. Evelyn furrowed her brows. But then it hit her.

“Was that why he was calling me yes-”

“Yeah,” Theodore answered her query. Evelyn cast her eyes down. Guilt jabbed her hard.

“But I don’t blame you, Evelyn. It’s fine-”

    Dylan whispered in a deadly tone and covered her mouth with his large palm.

    “These are perfect. I give it a pass.” Evelyn spoke while leafing through the interior designs of the hotel. They were apt and flawless. Contended, Evelyn then turned to Grace, Theodore’s assistant, and snuck a glance at Dylan who was already staring at her, smiling like a love-struck fool.“Get the approval of Mr. Black.” She said and gestured to Grace who was exhilarated with her response. She immediately snatched the file from her hands even took Evelyn off guard and dashed to Dylan. Evelyn cocked a brow as the girl rounded to the table and strutted near his chair to show him the designs. She was shocked at her bold move.Dylan who had his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair while twirling the pen between his fingers smirked at Grace’s crappy attempt to lure him. He was aware of the effect he had on people, especially females.Grace bent much lower on her knees to reveal her cleavage before handing him the file.“Please take a look, Mr. Black.” She spoke in a saccharine ton

You no longer need to be shy.The night is ours today so just live the moment as the pleasure will be too damn high.And just like that, the tension in the air soared. The sky turned darker and the moon hid behind the clouds to give the couple privacy.Evelyn ran out of words. His deep baritone turned her knees weak. Those buried feelings again surfaced but before they could overpower her Evelyn decided to shun them. Looking away, she tried to weasel out of his grip but Dylan had other plans. He wasn’t going to let his kitten escape no matter what happened. Evelyn glared at him when he didn’t move aside but her eyes widened when he took a step forward. She quickly retreated.“What are you-” her mouth turned dry when her movements got hindered by the wall. She looked back and then at Dylan only to realize that he had ve

    Evelyn was in her cabin. Her desk was all stacked up with files and papers waiting for her attention but she didn’t spare them a glance. Because a storm was brewing deep inside her. A storm of contrite, self-loathe, and rage.She was regretting kissing Dylan. She shouldn’t have agreed to come with him to Paris. It just sounded so wrong as on one side she was craving him while on the other hand, she was giving Xander false promises. No doubt, he was the perfect gentleman and would prove to be the best life partner. Xander inhibited all the qualities she used to search for in Dylan. He was kind compassionate, prudent, understanding, and most importantly he respected women. She needed someone like him in her life who understands her, respects her decisions, and adapts to her lifestyle instead of changing it. Even her father had approved of her relationship. He qualified all the conditions that she was looking for in her man but still, she was in a plight. Her heart wasn’t ready to accept

    Dylan was a bit concerned as Evelyn after that heated session chose silence for the rest of the day. She slept the whole day in the office and woke up in the car when Dylan was driving her back to the hotel. Evelyn also showed no resistance when he carried her in bridal style and dropped her safely to her room, on her bed. Dylan had a hunch as to why she was avoiding him but didn’t pressure her. It would be a bit too much.The amalgamation of his grunts and her moans snatched her sleep. She couldn’t peel off that memory that was only condemning her for giving in so easily. It wasn’t like he forced her, she had her fair share of pleasure but every time she gave in to his sinful desires, she fell a little from grace. So, she picked up silence as a punishment.Which with passing days turned her routine.Dylan was worried as after that day, Evelyn never interacted with him. He would try to make some conversations but she would give him a wide berth. She wouldn’t even look at him so talkin

    The world stopped around him.She loves him.Overwhelmed with happiness, Dylan stared at Evelyn in disbelief, her confession rang in his ears on a loop. With trembling hands, he managed to hold her face and tried to look for any lies in her eyes.“What did you just say?” He spoke, still in a trance. Evelyn nodded with a blank face.That’s when his heart swelled and a wide smile etched on his face. His happiness knew no bounds.“Even after everything you did, I failed to erase you from my mind. Yes, your betrayal killed me. It was true that I hated seeing your face. Even breathing in your presence revolted me but the day you saved me from Miller, you revived those feelings which had ignited the flame of love in my heart around three years ago. ” She spoke, her eyes bore nothing but truth.Dylan felt his heart somersaulting watching her brown orbs teeming with love. Oh, how badly he had waited to see that affectionate smile of hers.“You stirred those emotions again when you saved my di

    Evelyn finally reached her home after completing her journey that was full of wild and raging emotions. True to his words, Dylan didn’t bother her and maintained his distance. But he tweaked the rules as instead of speaking, he resorted to non-verbal communication. Evelyn had to do all the work herself as she hadn’t brought her staff along while Dylan had his entire army. And he was well aware that she would never use Hunter’s help because he was his man. So, he carried her luggage and didn’t let her do anything. Evelyn tried to object but he ignored her. She noticed the harshness in his actions, the man was already on the edge so she just backed out and let him do what sailed his boat.But as soon as their way parted, she got cold feet. Evelyn wasn’t clairvoyant but she could feel something terrible in the air.

That’s when his gaze flickered. His eyes followed the trails of my tears but neither he said anything nor I did. We both just stood in silence as if contemplating the whole situation.“This had to be done, Evie.” Mom’s voice broke my trance. I didn’t look at her and continued staring at Xander who couldn’t hold the eye contact anymore and averted his gaze. I could feel a sense of discomfort rolling off him as if he was regretting making me cry. But he wouldn’t apologize, it hurt his male pride but I know that even if he did, I would never forgive him. Some mistakes can’t be forgiven with a simple sorry.But what broke my heart more was my parents’ rooting for him. Like seriously, can’t they see wh

    “D-Dylan, listen to me,”Evelyn mewled as she buried her face in his toned chest. Dylan on the other hand stormed out of her office while holding her tightly in his arms.Evelyn died in embarrassment as her staff watched the duo with open mouths. Dylan stopped near the car and opened the door with his one hand before placing her carefully on the passenger seat.“Dylan, where are we going?” Evelyn queried but he didn’t bother replying to her and fastened her seatbelt before slamming the door shut. Evelyn was gobsmacked but she quickly tried opening the doors only to find them locked.

Dylan didn’t stop her but she had seen the pain in her eyes when she decided to part ways. Xander snatched the days she had asked Dylan to figure out her feelings. There was still a small part of her heart that was deterred to accept him. It was still scared of Dylan and there was nothing wrong with that. He has given her enough reasons to back out. Evelyn was grateful to him for saving her mother’s life but she doesn’t want to reward him with her devotion. She still was reluctant in taking such a huge step.Marriage is a sacred bond that not only relies on love but trust and understanding. And the cornerstone should be respecting each other. Her marriage was a damp squib, Dylan

    Xander couldn’t believe his eyes. The girl standing in front of him was not his Eve but...“Giselle?”He whispered, still in a trance as he removed her veil with trembling fingers and lifted her chin to look at her face. But no sooner their eyes clashed, than rage swelled inside his heart.“Yes sweetheart,” Giselle uttered and flashed him a smirk.Flashback“What are you waiting for, Boss? Let’s blow her brains out. She is no longer useful and if she lives then she will only be a nuisance for us.” Hunter whined and looked at Dylan who unlike him was relaxed. Giselle on the other hand was horrified.“NO!! PLEASE. I did what you said. I also helped you rescue Mrs. Clarke. Please don’t kill me.” She cried and grabbed Hunter’s legs but he jerked her off.“My gun opened your mouth, bitch. Shame on you, despite being a woman you let a man exploit another woman. Helped him in his nasty plan, and let him hold her mother hostage, in your own fucking home. You sold your morals over a few bucks

    Clutching her heavy gown, Evelyn alighted the car keeping her gaze on the floor. She acted according just as Brandon told her and till now was successful in tricking Xander’s people who were appointed to keep a keen eye on her. A bunch of girls quickly came forward and helped her with her long flower veil. Evelyn raised her head, and a scowl appeared on her face as she expected media and hustle and bustle but the place was eerily silent. Still frowning, she lifted her head. Her jaw dropped as instead of the church, she was in front of a humongous and marvelous villa.Frightened, she looked at the girl who was standing beside her. Her eyes lit up as she was none other than Sara.“Sara?” she whispered, still not able to believe her eyes.“Don’t worry Ma’am, you’re safe,” Sara chirped and pointed her finger to the front. Evelyn followed her eyes only to see Joseph climbing out of her car. He was her chauffeur and she didn’t even realize it.A chuckle escaped her mouth which they both ret

    “Move.”Brandon growled as the female bodyguards who were assigned to guard Evelyn’s room blocked his way.“I am sorry Sir but no one is allowed inside.” One of them replied in a professional tone. They had strict orders not to let anyone enter the room without Xander’s permission.Brandon smirked and tilted his head to the left.“Can you tell them to move?” He spoke. Those two women frowned and followed his gaze to see whom he was talking to. A shocking gasp flew out of their mouth and they spat blood when Brandon slit their throats in one swift move. Both the women unstably succumbed to death. Their blood spattered staining his white suit but he wasn’t a tinge bit bothered as he pushed away their dead bodies and nodded at Aaron who quickly came out of his hide spot and began his work to hide those corpses.Brandon dropped his gaze to his coat. A scowl marred his face.“Fuck!!” He gritted and immediately wrenched out his coat and threw it on those women.“Hide it too. We can’t leave

    “Get down Eve,” Xander spoke in a stern tone as he eyed the stubborn girl who was sitting beside him. Evelyn ignored him and kept her eyes fixed on the window following the trails of the water droplets cascading down the glass pane.Xander was keen on executing his plan. The demons inside his head had no mercy for any of the wrongdoers. Xander couldn’t afford the slightest mistake, especially at this crucial point, so he decided to be his sole companion on his journey. Xander didn’t want to rely either on Brandon or Giselle whom he had assigned to keep Mrs. Clarke in check. He took everything in his hand and to expedite his plans, he forcefully brought Evelyn to the shop to buy her a wedding dress despite the raging storm.“I am asking you one last time, get down. Don’t provoke me to use force.” He grated, his hold tightening on the steering wheel.Evelyn on the other hand snorted and turned to face him, “What more can you do other than force me?

    “Finally home,” Giselle sang and chuckled to herself before turning off the engine. Undoing the seatbelt, she alighted her brand-new Mercedes. Her gaze sparkled as they raked over her giant opulent possession. It was the latest model and she was able to get her hands on it. Tracing her fingers over the tinted windows, she smiled and headed inside her apartment. The bounce in her walk exuded her joy.Instilling the key in the hole, she twisted the knob and entered her room which was swathed with darkness. Giselle stretched her hand to turn on the switches and then proceeded to lock the door. Stepping out of her heels, she jogged to the living room.“Ahh!! I am tired-OH MY GOD!!”A horrifying shriek escaped her mouth when her gaze fell on the tall, muscular intruder who was ensconced on her black leather couch, with one leg resting over his knee.“You were dead,” She murmured not believing her eyes. Dylan on the other hand smirked at her petrified state.“Thanks to your prayers that I a

    “W-What?”Xander broke down in cold sweats. Every cell of his body buzzed with terror. Brandon watched him with a quizzical expression.“What what? Haven’t you locked Aunt Maria and Evelyn in their rooms?”Xander closed his eyes, relief washed over him. Brandon frowned, something was fishy.“Uhmm, that’s necessary. Evelyn would run away and Aunt Maria is not on my side so I have to do that. I told you not to worry, I will make everything right.” Xander quickly spoke and forwarded his legs to leave the room, not to prolong this conversation but Brandon jogged to him and grabbed his forearm from behind.“I am not done yet. Why Mr. Clarke is on your side?” He threw another question but Xander dodged it.“I told you to leave everything to me.” He reiterated and yanked his hand away from his hold, “You don’t trust me and I don’t have any intention of winning your trust either.
