"Are you packed?" He asked.
"Yeah... done. Uhm... Nick? Can we go home?" I asked.
"That is where we are going" he said in a matter of fact tone.
"Home... I mean my home... you know" I said. He nodded his head understanding what I meant. "I've to collect few more clothes of mine and then we could go home" I said nervously.
He's going to agree right? Who cares, I'll go by myself."Sure. We'll collect your clothes and then go home ok?" He asked and I nodded giving him a smile.
He deserves it... I mean he's trying to impress me by agreeing to everything I say. So, I can at least smile. Ok yeah it hurt when he didn't reply when I asked about OUR love life. But it didn't start as a love story like theirs. It was an arranged business deal all the while..........
It took almost three hours until we reached New York. I was sleeping next to Nick while he kept looking at me

Evelyn's POVI heard a few hard knocks and then the banging! Who is it?!"You!""You!"I heard two familiar voices at the same time. Oh oh! Shit!"What are you doing here?""What are you doing here?" I heard them ask each other again at the same time as I ran down the stairs.Oh God why?!She stood there glaring at him and for the first time I saw Nick being speechless. She was assessing him from head to toe noticing his shirt. Those missing buttons which flew away as I tore his shirt apart. And his tousled hair. Ugh!"Aaaah... come in." He finally said and she took a quick look of the living room. I knew it. I was just packing everything; it might look to her as though...... we were doing... 'stuff'? Here in the living room. Well that's what it looks like with all the things thrown on the floor. Most of the things were fallen or broken. Isn't it embarrassing!? I think I should make myself know
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 16: New Entry
Evelyn's POV'Oh gosh... my husband is such a fool', I thought as I ran upstairs to bring the key to the back door. I usually don't use the back door, only when I've to clean. Finally, my back door is of some use.I unlocked the door and ran outside with a grin trying to find Nick. What were they saying? Too many people... that's why they are behind some tree? Big tree...? I thought and looked to my side. Great! There I find Nick and Mark conversing with each other."NICK!" I screamed. He turned back with a shocked face."How the fu*k did you get here?! Didn't I lock you inside?" Nick looked at me with confusion and anger. Let me tell you really angry."Yes Jerk, you did!" I was walking screaming at him.When I reached him, I stood right in front of him glaring at him."How- how the fuck did you even come out?!" He asked furiously."Remember it's my house! I do have a back door, you smartass" I smirked

Evelyn's POVAfter that torture scene, Nick brought me to our room. "Are you fine now?" He asked with concern lacing his voice. Watching Mark hurt that man felt like I was in a trauma."Yeah. I'll be fine" I whispered with a sigh."Is something wrong sweetheart? I mean.... I know that you've seen people die right in front of your eyes. And I don't think that seemed to bother you before…" He asked confused."Yeah, I know... I know. It's just that... that man seemed oddly familiar. Like he was my own... something I just don't remember". I said. I tried. I tried so much… to remember him but I can't. "Nick, I want remember him. I know, I know him. Just can't remember where I saw him" I said with a cry."Eve, just calm down. Like I told you that man was following you every day, maybe that's why he seems familiar. Don't worry too much about it" He said rubbing my arm. "But I don't like it when you're near him. That bloody o

Evelyn's POV"What happened? Why so serious? Is it something your dad said?" I guessed. But I just knew it was something his dad said. They stood in a corner and discussed something in a hush voice. I wonder what it was about."Yeah... he said should discuss it with you before I take my decision" He said rubbing his jaw and his glass in the other hand. So hot!"Ok... give me a minute. I'm feeling hungry. I'll get ice cream." I got up excitedly. When I came back with my box of vanilla ice cream, he was still looking at me weirdly. "What?!" I asked."You just had your dessert back at the hotel?" He reminded and I smiled at him sheepishly."I felt hungry" I shrugged. "Now tell me what is that you wanted to discuss? I'm ready!" I said sitting straight, righting my posture.While he poured another glass of brandy for himself. "Woah! Is it that serious?" I teased as he glared back at me."I informed him about the men follow
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 19: Harsh Slap
Evelyn's POV"This!" Nick interrupted before I say anything wrong. "This is my wife." He said. 'This?' I mouthed at him. "I mean she's my wife Evelyn" He introduced properly correcting his personality which had slumped with her presence."Wife?" She asked raising her eyebrows."Yes, we just got married few months back." It's been more than a month, 'few months' is fine. I gave my hand to shake, and she narrowed her eyes at me, but quickly covered it with a smile and held my hand but just too tightly, that her ring pressed into my hand. "Ah!" I pulled back my hand with a cry. It wasn't painful, it would've been if I'd let her continue. But puh-lease, do you even have to teach me drama?Oh, and I had to create a scene in front of Nick, right?"You alright bae?" Nick pulled my hand up to his face seriously and glared back at her."Katherine?!" I heard a scream tear my ear. Haven't heard the name since long."Matthew?" I
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 20: Affair with my Husband!
Evelyn's POV"Oh god please! You're still not talking to me now huh?!" He asked.I sat on bed removing my sandals. On the entire way home, he kept pleading. NO! Scratch that! He kept teasing me. I wasn't really angry at him. But there's a lot fun in torturing your husband, even he knows I'm not that angry."Come, we'll go sleep. It's too late" He said, and I looked at him annoyed. Isn't he going to woo me? Try to melt me with words like in romance novels? What the fu*k ya! Cara's description about Daniel is so much better than him. My husband is so plain and he's such a bore."You're such an asshole! Like really?! Why do you even want a wife? One-night stands suit you much better. Sleep with them and the next day throw her out and don't see her face again! Relationships are too difficult isn't it?" I asked somehow agreeing with my own statement."And why did you get that sudden thought madam?" He asked raising his eyebrows removing
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 21: Misunderstood Feelings
Evelyn's POV"Mom! Dad! What are you all doing here?! Isabella! Why are you asking him to move the sofa" His voice boomed as Isabella stood there instructing his men to move the sofa vertically."You didn't seem to want to come home to Greece. So here we are. Much safer!" Dad said, more like muttering to himself."Aww. I missed you my little boy. And Eve what's with the hair?" Mom came pouncing on us as we descended down to the last stair. I stood amused, shocked and even blushed at her words while he glared at everyone, I could almost feel the smoke coming out of his ears and nose."So, are we going to the lucky grandparents any time soon?" Dad asked as I looked down. I felt Nick hold my hand tightly and pulled me along with him, moving back up the stairs again. I don't know how I walked behind him with the soreness between my legs. I was half jumping, half walking."Nick! Nick!" I hissed into his ears when I saw Mom's face droppi
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 22: Past Revelations!
Evelyn's POVHe held me to his chest as we moved together in between the crowd. He held me so close that no one could even touch a hair on my body. Drunk people around us everywhere. Some drunk. Some onto each other. And here I still have someone with me too. At times like this I feel so secure in his arms."Shit! I had called my driver to pick the car, and he's taken it now." He sounded frustrated."You were going to spend the night here?" I asked. But just the thought of him with a girl got me upset. Of course, which wife wouldn't be. I'm not in love so... no I am in love. What! I'm so confused.... I squeezed my eyes shut, as I buried my face in his chest."Yes, I was planning to actually stay the night here" He said carefully expecting some reaction from me. When I didn't reply he continued "But not with a girl... if that's what you're thinking." He finished as he pulled the jacket, he was wearing to cover me as well."Yes, I kn

Part 2 Caroline and I continued to chitchat, still waiting for our husbands while I saw someone arriving from the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a tiny girl’s chubby hands dangling while she slept. That’s definitely Chrissy’s daughter. "Chrissy...? Weren't you supposed to come tomorrow?" "Should I come back tomorrow?" She asked. I fake glared at her and gave her a hug, which was impossible with my pregnant belly and her carrying Jane, her daughter. She handed me a bottle of wine and started giggling to herself. "Aww... you can’t have wine can you baby? " At my frown she mellowed down. "Ok.. ok.. I actually wanted to remind you about tax filing.. other than that your restaurant is doing really well." "Yeah I know, I remember, how's Jane though?" I pointed to her daughter now sleeping peacefully in her arms. "Is she okay going to school now? No tantrums?" I asked. "Yep, she's doing okay, but she misses her 'daddy' a lot and I don't know what to say every time she questions me abou

Throwing a glare at them, he went inside to check on his wife. 'What did they do now?' He thought."In the kitchen!" she called out to him."What-" Once he entered, he saw the floor covered with flour and his kids bathed with it."Do you still have to ask me what's happened?" She said pointing at the two."I din do ith. Ith was all her." His son answered brilliantly pointing at his elder sister. Though he still had to work on his pronunciation, the boy was already on his father's footsteps."The idea wasn't mine either." His daughter replied still playing with the flour.He looked at his wife who was now sitting on the kitchen counter staring at him."Mommy is over reacting, Daddy." His daughter chuckled.

"What's this card?" Nickflippedit checking what it was that was clutched soo tightly in his wife's hand. Evelyn's eyes were still foggy due to sleep, so she didn't notice that he had it in his hand. She only just 'hummed' with her eyes closed.What he saw inside warmed his insides. A Father's Day card made by her, on behalf of his child. "You made this?" He asked but there was no reply on the other side. She'd fallen back to sleep. With a kiss to her head, he let her go back to her sleep as she curled into him.Evelyn's POV"Oliver? You need something?" It was early in the morning; I woke up to Nick next to me and left the bed early just so I didn't have to face him. I was in no mood to start a fight with him again. But in no mood to take shit from him again!'Yeah right.'My inner voice screamed at me. Back to the reality!I saw Oliver moving his lips and quickly interrupte
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 41: Locked.
"Nick! Nick!" She screamed. She didn't know that slimy thing was. Whatever it was, she wanted to get out of there. She banged the door hardly. She was cursing herself as to why she gave her phone to Nick.Then she stopped calling his name. "Somebody help!! Help!" She looked around for some clue or some lose end but the room was eerily dark.During this broad day light, there wasn't a single ray entering the room.'There had to be a window or something.'She thought but didn't really have the guts to move around in a room where she had insects moving all over her body.When something passed over her feet she screamed again.'Argh!'Here on the other hand, each time Nick heard her scream, he followed her voice and got closer to her room. The mansion where he grew up in suddenly looked like a maze to him. Her voice echoed from everywhere. "Evelyn? Evelyn, is that you?" He was dreading the answer.She who stepped forward t
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 40: Get together
Evelyn's POV"Are you ready? Shall we go meet them." Nick asked and I looked at him nervously."Come on... it's not first time that you're meeting them." Nick informed his parents about mine and this will be first time I meet them after that."First time after they know that I'm their enemy's daughter. And you bloody organized a get together party! Really?""If it makes you feel better then you must know that my dad is really cool with it.""And your mom?""Aaah... she's a different case.""Aww, that makes me feel great!" I said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and pulled me behind him as he slowly placed my hand on his arm. "I think your mom might murder me." I said in a daze."Don't be stupid! She won't do any such thing especially after she gets to know about our baby.""She still doesn't know?" He shook his head as 'no' and pasted a fake broad smile as he looked ahead at everyone.I dared to lo
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 39: Answers.
Evelyn's POVNick looked at Riccardo and shook his head. And my newfound brother looked everywhere but me. Uh oh! Wrong question to ask at the wrong time.Now sitting at the table next to Nick, with different varieties of mouthwatering dishes in front of me, I asked him. "What was the look that you gave my brother?""A look that said, 'I will tell her later myself.' Why?" He said and I shook my head as 'no' and continued to devour the food.The entire time, I thought as to how I ended up in my mum and dad's hands. They were cruel, yes. Rude, mean, unfair and partial... but I still considered them as my parents. I only just ran away, but I never thought of hurting them.Nick held my left hand bringing me out of my thoughts. "You're not having anything?" He asked.I looked at my untouched plate. "I'm having..." I whispered back at him. Except for Raymond... as in my father. Everyone was happy looking at us, extremely happy wit
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 38: Questions.
Evelyn's POVI woke up to find Nick glaring at Rand who had come with a breakfast tray. Had I not guessed before! That I see something strange in Rand."You may leave now... I know about you now. You work forhim.""Now that we know... I think it's fine." I tried to convince him."Actually, I worked as a cook at the Salvatore's... I know how to work with a knifeanda gun." He looked really uncomfortable having this conversation."Great!" I took the tray from his hand and shooed him out of the room. "So, you'll continue to work here." I said and closed the door on him. Only that I didn't see Nick fuming behind me. I waited and waited for him to say something... I could see the nerve on his jaw working. I looked at him, waiting for him to say something... but he just picked up his suit jacket and left the room."I'll be back late at night." I heard him scream behind my shoulders.
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 37: Partial?
Evelyn's POVThere was an awkward silence with Nick and Riccardo looking at each other. No more glares. They were both looking like fools."Any mutual enemies?" I asked. Again, they gave a blank stare. "So, I believe you are not going to fight anymore?... Gosh! Stop giving me that blank stare!"Riccardo stared at us both and I moved closer to Nick, he pinned me with his eyes and when he knew that I wouldn’t be forced into submitting to him, he gave a nod and stood up buttoning his now torn suit jacket. "I'll leave for now. I'll come and pick you later Evelyn." He smiled. He smiled!"You're not taking her anywhere-"Ugh!"Nick! Stop it now! Aah..." I turned to convince Riccardo, but he already nodded with understanding and left."Why did you leave the mansion?" He asked once I turned to look at him.With a huff, I walked out of the house and threw the key at him. "Lock the door."I sat in my car and w

Evelyn's POV"Are you serious!" I gritted my teeth looking at that face."Who's that hottie..." Chrissy squealed next to me.And then he stood up with his hands-on hips pushing his suit jacket away which revealed his gun attached near the belt.Chrissy next to me, gasped."Don't worry… he'll not hurt us." I whispered. I was sure. A day with him and I almost... already knew him. "What are you doing here Riccardo!?" I directed my question at him stepping inside the house."I've come here to get you. Why else do you think?" He sounded stern. Not ready to listen to anything I say. "Let's go." He gritted his teeth."Eve!" That was Nick's voice coming from behind, huffing. "Eve! Don't you understand! You've already been abducted; we haven't even had the time to-" he was ready to give me long lecture until he saw Riccardo behind me inside the house.I turned around to see him looking behind me at Riccardo.
