FlashbackDylan alighted his sleek black SUV and jerked the lapels of his suit. Hunter quickly closed the door while silently analyzing his disheveled appearance. Dylan looked lost, his impeccable appearance and handsome features couldn’t mask the pain in his eyes. The forlorn expression on his face described how badly he was torn by Evelyn’s decision. Though she demanded only a few days, he didn’t want to go through that same ordeal once again. The man was determined to make her his, to win her heart, do everything in his power to earn her forgiveness, and make her see how much he loves her. What a fool he was who didn’t recognize a gem, who failed to see her selfless and innocent love. So as a redemption, he put his life at stake to win her but Evelyn still wasn’t convinced.And now his resolve has started to shake.Dylan was slowly losing hope. He had fabricated so many plans to lure her in the past that now his mind had also given up. It was now near to abandoning the promises it
Xander’s P.O.V.What the hell is wrong with me?Frustrated with my animalistic behavior, I kicked the chair and punched my fists on the table.This is wrong, what I did with Evelyn and what I am about to do was so fucking wrong. But I am helpless. Despite knowing that I am only forcing her, I am still firm on my decision and have no plans on backing down and that’s what is making me hate myself more.I need her to blink but not at the cost of her tears. Her broken face kept flashing in front of my eyes.“I will dear but only after I make you mine.”I swear, I didn’t mean it in the wrong way. I was so fucking pissed that the words on their own flew out of my mouth before I could control my tongue. But the damage was done. I still couldn’t forget how scared Evelyn was. She was horrified of me. And that look in her eyes stopped me and I am so thankful or otherwise, I have done something so horrendous and unforgiving that would have left me regretting forever. Leaving her shattered, I sto
“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. All I want is to protect Evelyn and I will do that no matter what. But since you’re her friend, I consider it my r
“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
“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? You stooped so low that you threatened
“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
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
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
5 years later“Breakfast is ready kids,” Evelyn shouted as she settled the pot filled with hot stew in the middle of the dining table.These past years brought nothing but boundless happiness for Evelyn and Dylan. Evelyn was hesitant to leave San Francisco so Dylan settled here only and took her to his mansion. Since they both were already married so it wasn’t a problem. Evelyn’s parents and Maria stayed in Evelyn’s villa and they used to come to visit them often. Dylan and Evelyn were blessed with two kids. Evelyn had Grace immediately as Dylan was determined to have a kid with her. And just last year they both got blessed with a beautiful baby boy, Chris.“Coming Mom,”A sigh escaped her lips when she heard her four kids shouting in unison. Placing her hands on her waist, Evelyn glared at her children who were busy playing video games with two grown-ass men, they were none other than her husband and her best friend. Evelyn huffed and sauntered towards them before standing in front o
“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. Huffing, she crossed her arms beneath her breasts and glared at looked at Dylan who climbed inside and kickstarted the car.The car rolled onto the cobbling pathway. Evelyn was awestruck as she gaped at the magnificent mansion. Dylan brought her to his house. He quickly got out and soon rounded to her side. Evelyn removed the seatbelt and tried to step down but Dylan beat her to it as he again scooped her
Three weeks passed in a blur. Just like the calmness after a raging storm, everyone got their respective endings. While it was shocking and disastrous for Xander, Evelyn received a happy end but it didn’t include Dylan. She gave priority to her family.Evelyn returned to her mansion with her parents and Maria. 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
