He 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

Evelyn's POV"Wake up baby..." I heard Nick's voice tugging at my ear. I was already awake; I just didn't have the courage to wake up and show my face to him after what happened last night. Ok I know I was drunk, but I wasn't completely drunk, I should've controlled myself. Instead I just rambled like a fool! And what happened? I didn't even get the right answers for everything I asked instead I revealed more ofmyself. Shit! That just shouldn't have happened."Baby.... we have to go home... now get up" He shook me once more and got up pulling his shirt over his head. I was peeking through my eye half open. 'Where did he get this new shirt from. He looks freshly showered.'"Yes, I just took a shower and Mark bought these clothes." Shit! He heard me."You've already showered" I said like a fool. Cause I obviously didn't have anything to say and I didn't want to sit quiet."And see these are for you" he replied hand

You couldn't just move out of this place before you created any more ruckus. Even Isabella left this place. Now Nick blames me! That asshole! He'll get it from me one day. Just wait Mr! Now find a reason to escape from this Mr.He stood in front me as he burned holes into my bag. He quickly pulled the bag out of my hand throwing it away from me and I looked up when he suddenly tugged my hand."Nick?!" I screeched seeing him act like this towards me."Just... shut-the-fvck-up!" He breathed through his clenched teeth and I followed him wide eyed. What the hell! Like seriously... what did I actually do this time?! "Nick what is wrong and don't give me that shit! I've taken it once not always" I said regarding the way he just acted towards me. His reaction was just a glare directed towards me.
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 25: Accidents!
Evelyn's POVI woke up alone in bed. No warm or rather hot body of my husband next to me. No warmth, nothing! This wasn't the time to get upset aboutthis.I knew what I got myself into last night, and this isn't any lovey-dovey relationship to expect such things. Right?But he did tell someone on phone that day that he can't wait to get a divorce from me, right? Doesn't he love Melanie? Isn't that why I'm leaving? Then why did he doitlast night? Oooh forget it! Don't find reasons to stay now Evelyn Katherine Linard! You made up your mind last night, didn't you? It's your last time.I covered myself with the duvet and moved into the bathroom.

I thought to myself and quickly finished with my shower which is
The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 26: Away from him.
Evelyn's POV'Okay' was the last word I remember I said before I walked out of that mansion. Never in my dreams did I think that we'd actually end up this way. I knew we'd not last long but.... our parting was somewhat incomplete. No words spoken. I just put forth what I want in front of him and he just agreed. No arguments. Didn't he feel anything towards me? Of course he wouldn't... he has Melanie.I don't even feel any disgust towards her now. I'm just jealous. No denying! Iamjealous.It's been two days and there's not a single phone call from him.Call.... oh and Carr did call me to invite me to her sudden wedding that is tomorrow. I did sound excited to her; I didn't want her to suspect anything odd. But I'm not sure... I mean I hope she didn't make this decision in a haste, hopefully they're not getting married just because she's pregnant. I hope Daniel really loves her. I think they do love each other... hmph

Unknown POV"Son I cannot wait anymore!""Dad just wait... few more days?" I said but he wasn't ready to listen."My wife's dying there... have you ever known that feeling?!" He asked and I quickly snapped my eyes at him, and he squeezed his eyes shut at what that meant. "Sorry.... but we've to go get her quickly.""The woman you’re talking about is also my mother, I don’t want to lose her either. I get what you're saying dad! But.... give me some time, did she have to go marryhim!" I screamed and he pursed his lips."I don't know about all that. I have no idea how you're going to do this.. just get her! And.. it will be much easier for you now that she left that horrid man and his place." He stared into me and I nodded at him. That's all he needed, before he left taking his men with him.Nicholas’s POV'Fvck! Where did she go now?' I searched the entire wedding venue.

Evelyn's POV"Chrissy! I'm not doing this. If I had my doubts, then I'd first tell Nick and we'd do this together!" I hissed at her, but she still looked quite calm."Together?" She innocently asked while I stood glaring at her."See... you'd tell Nick if you had your doubts... and now you don't have any. You're sure that you're not with a baby then try it. What's there in trying?" She asked. 'What's there in trying?!' Well there's the entire problem. Idoactually have my newfound doubts!"Fine!" Let’s get this over and done with.Nicholas’s POV"Mark?" I said as I took the file."Yes Sir""Yes Sir"I heard both of them say at the same time."Why don't you both change your names?!" I already had enough problems on my platter.

The Billionaire Playboy's Bride Chapter 29: Confirmations...
Evelyn's POV"Did you talk to him?" Chrissy asked."Of course not! I waited the entire night. And the next day I get to hear from his mouth that he was out with his ex the entire night!" I said as I blew my nose with a tissue."The entire night? How would you know that? I heard him Kate. But whatever he said could also mean that he just met her and came back." She said in a duh tone."You think so?" I asked."Of course! Now go talk to him!" She pushed me to stand up.I stood up.... but instead of going to him I went into the back garden. I took out my phone and called Nick."Nick.... come down to the back garden." I whispered.All I heard was the sound of his breathing. I simply cut the call and didn't wait for his reply because I knew he's going to be coming down by now."Evelyn?" He called out and I looked back at him and nodded for him to come forward and sit next to me. He frowned when he saw I was

Evelyn's POV"Chrissy.... now what do I tell him?" I cried."That you're pregnant." I threw my pillow at her."That I know! But how...... he seems so annoyed even with the thought a baby."

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

Part 1"Nick! You come inside right now, or I'll not hesitate to throw your kids from the balcony!" Evelyn screamed.Nicholas gave a tired sigh, looking at Mark and Oliver who were chuckling at him. 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.
