____________Evanora paced the room restlessly, her eyes darting to the clock every few seconds. The rhythmic ticking seemed louder than usual, each passing moment only heightening her anxiety.The sound of a car horn broke her frantic thoughts, and she rushed to the window. A smile spread across her face as she spotted him stepping out of the sleek black car.She hurried to the door but stopped abruptly when she saw him heading upstairs. Gathering her composure, she met him at the foot of the staircase, her excitement bubbling over. "Welcome home, hubby," she said cheerfully, reaching for his suitcase.Leonardo's eyes glinted with mild surprise at her enthusiasm. He hummed a vague reply, allowing her to take the suitcase before walking ahead.Undeterred, Evanora followed him, her voice bright and eager. "How was work today? Was it fun? Were the clients nice?"Leonardo huffed, his tone dry. "Since when do you care so much? If you want something, just say it."Her smile faltered, and s
---"Who disrespected you?" a deep, commanding voice interrupted, its tone smooth yet laced with a dangerous edge. "And... you're pregnant?"The sound sent a shiver down Evanora's spine. Both she and Santier turned sharply toward the voice, their movements stiff with unease.Standing a few feet away was Eros. His tall, imposing figure was framed by the faint glow of the hallway light. He wore a tailored black suit that clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, his hands casually tucked into his pockets as though he had all the time in the world. Despite his relaxed posture, the aura surrounding him was anything but calm. It crackled with tension, his very presence exuding authority and menace.Behind him, his guards loomed like shadows-silent, watchful, and ready to strike at a moment's notice. Their sheer number made the room feel smaller, the air heavier.Evanora's breath hitched as her gaze locked onto Eros. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, her widened eyes betraying the storm
_________The woman on the TV screen smiled brightly, addressing her audience. "What's up, New York City? I know most of us are eagerly awaiting tomorrow's event. In just 20 hours, our superstar and Brooklyn's beloved mayor, Evanora Scott, will be marrying the Grammy-winning singer, Denim King, in front of the whole world.

It's going to be an unforgettable day!""Evanora Scott and Denim King are exchanging vows on stage in New York City tomorrow, and after that, they're jetting off to a private island for their honeymoon," another commentator added."Honestly, Evanora deserves the best," a woman chimed in. "After so many failed relationships, she's finally found the right man. I'm so happy for her!"Evanora couldn't stop smiling as she watched Jimmy Fallon and other hosts discus
***(DRACO CLUB)"I can't believe this. Can you believe he said I was a nun" Evanora yelled as she gulped down the glass of a wine, and by now everyone attention was now on her.She didn't care... She was so hurting Inside and needed to get wasted. "Can I get another drink?" She yelled to the bartender who huffed."Ma I think is inappropriate. You have had 8 drink now, wearing that wedding dress. I don't even know you" The bartender said.Her eyes widened in surprise and then she bursted into laughter. "You don't know me! That's the first time I got to meet somebody like that" She yelled laughing crazily."What do you mean you don't know her!" Someone smack the bartender head. "That is the popular actress Evanora""Oh my goodness! She is supposed to be getting married today right!" "Well I heard she ran from the venue after she saw the video of her husband to be and her Best friend kissing each other" She muttered to the other.Evanora scoffed, tears flowing down from her eyes. "I am
---Evanora stirred awake, her body sinking into unfamiliar, soft sheets as the first hints of daylight seeped through her closed eyelids. A dull, persistent ache pulsed in her head, and as she shifted, an unusual soreness in her limbs reminded her that this wasn't her bed, nor was it the morning she'd planned.Her heart quickened, a sudden wave of disorientation washing over her. As she opened her eyes, a dim, elegant room slowly came into focus-a room she'd never seen before. She pushed herself up slowly, clutching the sheets to her chest as the fragmented events of last night drifted back to her in flashes.She remembered the crowded club, the swirl of music and lights blurring together, and the haze of emotions she'd been trying so hard to escape. She had barely noticed anyone at first, consumed by her own thoughts, until something-no, someone-had caught her attention. A laugh, a warm smile across the room, and the thrill of making eye contact with a stranger who seemed to hold he
(ONE MONTH LATER)....She makes me wanna get off the roadWish I could turn it off, let it goBut she's too fucking beautiful.- "Beautiful" by Michele Morrone*****In the heart of the woods, far from civilization, a grand, ominous mansion stood tall. The silence was broken only by the occasional cries of agony and despair echoing from deep within.Inside the lavish lounge, a man sat on an opulent chair, sipping wine while gazing at a photograph in his hand. His lips curled into a smile as he studied the image—a woman with flowing brunette hair, her nose scrunched as she held a playful puppy.A servant approached hesitantly, carrying a tray. Curiosity flickered in his eyes, wondering about the photograph that had softened his boss’s typically stern demeanor.“Sir, the ice cubes,” the servant announced.“Leave them on the table,” the man replied curtly, his voice cold yet commanding. Rising with a glass of wine in hand, he strode toward the fireplace.“You make me crazy,” he murmured,
*******Evanora eyes widened In surprise as she stared at him hoping to see it was a joke but it was obvious he was damn so serious.She stared at him for a while and bursted into laughter, while the male just huffed."Oh my goodness! You are such a joker" She said.She glared at him and made to walked out but he pushed her back harshly, he pushed her to the wall and trapped her in his hold while Evanora just gulped down."I am not a man of joke if you know me too well and I mean whatever I say. I want to get married to you, and the lest you can do to yourself is say yes to me because I don't take no for an answer" "Let me go Mr Eros" She said, trying to sound bold but she knew better.He tilt his head and huffed before he let go of her.She hissed and made to walk out but found herself not being able to move."What the heck!" She struggled,as her legs refused to moveand turned around only to see him staring at her with a smirk and slowly he wrapped his hand around her waist, and lic
*******Soft music could be heard playing in the background and everyone was dancing crazily.Andrea gulped down nervously as the male had wrapped possessively around his waist, daring her to move away from him. "She's so pretty. I see you don't go for something less" one of the male said staring at Andrea who gulped down."Oh yeah! and I hate it when someone stare at what's mine" Zenon said darkly, and they quickly turned away knowing what he can do."Andrea?" Someone called from behind and they all turned around to see Evanora staring at them."Oh Eva? Zenon, this is my stepsister Evanora" Andrea introduced.He tilt his head to the side and smirked. "I see the reason why he can't let go of you" he muttered under his breath while Evanora just stared at him confused.Just then screams, and murmured filled the hall, and Evanora turned around.She stared eagerly at the entrance trying to see who stepped in. She frozed immediately she got to see who it was, and fear gripped her in the c

Andrea opened her eyes slowly, her vision adjusting to the dim light of an unfamiliar black wall. A dull ache throbbed against her skull, forcing a low groan from her lips. She winced, bringing a trembling hand to her temple. Her head was spinning-a cruel souvenir from last night's reckless decisions. The memories were hazy, but the sensation of cold sheets brushing against her skin grounded her in the present.Something was off.Her eyes darted down, and she froze. The clothes she had been wearing were gone, replaced with an oversized black shirt. Panic surged through her veins, icy and unrelenting. Her breathing hitched as dark thoughts began to swirl in her mind.What if he changed my clothes? What if he...? She didn't dare finish the thought.The creak of the door swinging open broke her downward spiral. Andrea's gaze shot up to see Zenon entering the room, a tray of food balanced effortlessly in his hands. His sharp features were unreadable, though a glint of amusement flickered
---"So, how does it feel being married? I mean, it's always been your dream, hasn't it?" The interviewer's tone carried a hint of mockery, her words slicing through the air with a teasing edge.Evanora huffed, doing her best to ignore the jab. "Well, it's been good. Marriage is filled with love and all that," she said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.Lies upon lies! She needed someone to save her from that godforsaken marriage.That's one thing about being a celebrity. You will have to lie so you will keep your popularity and fame intact.The interviewer leaned forward, her expression smug. "Hmmm. Your fans were pretty surprised when you got married just a month after breaking up with Denim. Perhaps you were already cheating on him?"What the heck!Her laugh grated on Evanora's nerves, and she clenched her fists under the table, anger bubbling to the surface. She tried to keep her composure, but it was no use. Rising abruptly, she glared at the woman, her hands itching
---(DRACO CLUB)The Draco Club was alive, pulsating with energy as neon lights bathed the night in a kaleidoscope of colors. Inside, the beat of the music synchronized with the crowd's collective heartbeat, filling the air with electric anticipation. Laughter and murmurs wove through the atmosphere like a seductive undertone. Yet outside, amidst the thrumming vibrancy, Eros stood still, his silhouette stark against the club's chaos.He raised a glass of whiskey to his lips, the amber liquid burning a trail down his throat. But the fiery drink failed to extinguish the inferno in his mind. His thoughts were chained to one name-Evanora.Eros exhaled slowly, the weight of his emotions settling over him like a suffocating shroud. He leaned against the marble railing, eyes scanning the endless sea of people. To them, he was an untouchable force, a man who ruled with an iron fist. But tonight, even that aura of invincibility seemed dimmed.A hand, soft and familiar in its intrusion, slid ov
(EROS MANSION)Evanora paced anxiously in her room, biting into an apple. The crisp sound echoed in the silence as her footsteps paused before the large mirror. Her reflection stared back, her gaze drifting toward her stomach. With a heavy sigh, she placed a hand on her abdomen."Should I tell him?" she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible, yet the question lingered heavily in the air. Her reflection offered no answers, only a reflection of her turmoil."What if he says he's not ready to be a father? What if something happens?" Her voice cracked, the weight of her secret pressing harder on her shoulders.The sharp ring of her phone startled her. She glanced at the screen, her tension easing as she saw the name. She answered swiftly."Have you made up your mind, Evie?" the male voice on the other end asked.She sighed, scratching her head as her thoughts churned wildly. "I'm still thinking about it, but for now, please keep it a secret. Don't tell our friends or anyone else."
---The heavy oak door swung open, and a guard stepped aside, bowing deeply as he exited. The man walked out with a presence that commanded the space, his steps firm and calculated. Every guard along his path bowed as he passed, their fear and respect evident. His aura was no joke-it carried the weight of authority and danger, leaving no room for defiance.He strode into the dimly lit bar, his sharp eyes taking in every detail. A chorus of giggles erupted from a group of girls by the counter, their excitement barely contained as their eyes followed his every move.Dressed in a sleek black suit that hugged his well-built frame, his twisted-back hair revealed his perfectly sculpted face. His features were sharp, his jawline defined, and his intense gaze was enough to make hearts flutter-or stop altogether. His expensive attire, tailored to perfection, spoke volumes of his wealth and power."Zenon!" one of the girls screamed excitedly, her voice filled with adoration. Others quickly join
______________Welcome back, ma," the maids greeted as Evanora walked into the house. She ignored them, handing over her bag silently.Tears prickled behind her eyes, threatening to fall. She tried to hold them back, but the pain was too overwhelming. All she wanted was to throw herself onto her bed and cry until the ache dulled.She glanced around the sitting room, noticing its emptiness. A frown crossed her face as she looked at her phone. Her eyes widened at the text from Eros: "I'm coming to pick you since you're not here yet."She sighed and dialed his number, but before the call connected, the phone flew from her hand and smashed against the wall.Her heart skipped as she whirled around, her gaze landing on Shantel, who stood smirking with a dark satisfaction."What the hell was that for?" Evanora snapped, her anger bubbling.Shantel's smirk widened. "Mere mortals always think they have control. I've been keeping quiet for far too long, but since no one is home-not your sweet hu
******"Here comes the new member of the family" Kenna said as the couple walked downstairs, and Evanora just smiled at her.Staring at the family seated, she knew they were more than just powerful. Their Aura was just insane and it will take a while for her to get use to them."So how was your night sweetheart?" A woman asked with a smile and she knew she was Eros mum. The resemblance was so there."Yes" She simply replied with a forced smile. "So what are you going to do today. Got any plans" Kenna asked as she chew on her apple. "Hmmm I have an interview with Jimmy Fallon at 2pm. Anything?" She asked, and Kenna just smiled. "Hey family" Someone yelled, and everyone look upstairs only to see a young girl coming downstairs.She was a girl in her early 20s and she was so pretty. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Evanora. "Oh my goodness! She is real!" She muttered gasping.Evanora huffed staring at her. The female rushed towards her, and hugged her almost choking her. "I am a big f
