Evelyn's POV
"Ok guys... so we'll be closed for tomorrow. It's my wedding and I want all of you to be there..... and Christine.... I have to ask you something... ok wait. Come with me" I said pulling her out of the door. I'm taking her to my house which is just a few blocks away from my restaurant, I'm going to surprise her. Yes, I have my own restaurant, Uncle Roger, you know Caroline's dad gave it me as a present, but he said it depends on me, how I'll run it.
And since I majored in hotel management.... hmm... I managed it fine, I guess. It was Uncle Roger's first restaurant and then he managed to open his big business, and this had to shut down for years. He thought I deserve to have this part of his life. That's really kind of him. He's the perfect father figure I got. I always asked him why he never gifted it to Cara. He never answered but just gave me a smile saying, am I not his daughter too? I so wished for Cara to be present on my wedding. I always dreamed of asking her to be my maid of honor... but I guess... she's better off without me. She has enough problems in her life, telling her about my marriage will obviously lead me to tell her the truth.
"What now Eve? Oh, and congratulations!" Chrissy said as we entered my house, too excited for my liking. Everyone's excited for my wedding except me of course.
Anyways. "Sooo.... Chrissy? How do you like this dress?" I asked with a fake doubtful expression. I know she loves peach colour. And that is the colour I've brought for her. It's simple but yet a sexy dress. She's going to look so glamorous. She just nodded with her bright eyes that was still stuck on the dress. "Chrissy.... will you please accept to be my maid of honour" I asked blinking my eyes with a sad expression. She was frowning at my sad face but started squealing as soon as my words clicked in her mind.
"Of course! You didn't even have to ask!" She said hugging me. Crushing my bones!
"Damn girl! You're going to break me" I said coughing. She only started giggling.
"Hmmm..... so.... how do you like the dress?" I asked her."Do you even have to ask? Duh! It's clearly written on my face!" She said with a huge smile.
I heard my phone ringing and I took it out. Damn I really have to change this ringtone. It scares me to death! Christine quickly snatched my phone and asked, 'Who the hell is Mr. Arrogant?!' I just shrugged but damn did I have to blush! She gave me a knowing look and answered the call.
"Dafuck!" I screamed.
"Hello brother-in law" she teased. Oh gawd! 'Sorry who?!' I heard him scream from the other side.
"I'm Christine. And ever since Eve started working. We've been together. She's the elder sister I never had. So, in that sense you are my to be brother- in law" she said and after that I didn't hear a single word. She is talking jumping on my sofa....
"Ok.. I'll give it back to her..." she said giggling but covered the phone with her hand. "You know we're not working tomorrow... I have some work to do and the salon of course. You informed me about your wedding on the day before. I've to be ready, bye!" She said throwing my phone on my face! Ouch! That hurt! And shut the door behind her.
"Uhm... hello?" I asked not sure what to say.
"I'm coming over" he said and none of us replied for a few seconds.... and more... and.... he cut the call! Argh! He needs to learn some manners.
Last time he was here.... I was behaving like a sex crazed woman. Oh, and what happened? Nothing actually.... sadly...
.......he picked me so that we could move to another room, but my back hit a wall and his hand moved onto my breast moving my coat aside. I threw my coat away after that and lead him to my bedroom where he ripped my shirt and held my breasts squeezing them while the other was teased by his mouth.... and when his leg moved my legs apart...
Well.... then I suddenly pushed him off. Thinking I want to keep my virginity intact till my wedding night. Oh dear lord! He would've been so embarrassed. _I_ was so embarrassed. He didn't say a word. Just left. And now after two weeks I get a call from him. I thought he'd actually cancel the wedding. Which is actually depressing. I mean to me... I mean... Hmph.... oooh I'd just love to have that handsome piece of shit as my husband. I'd love to have him every day. But...
The doorbell ringing brought me out of my erotic thoughts. Oh Shit! I'm in my plain jeans and t-shirt. Can't help it. I just my combed my hair with my hand and wiped my face which I'm sure was damn oily. Why can I not look normal like every girl?! Why do I have to be extra ugly?!
And I quickly opened the door.... there stood... of course. His bodyguard! Mark! "Ma'am!" He greeted me stiffly to which I nodded, and he continued "Mr. Perkins asked me to bring you to the car" he said with his glasses on.
"What? He said he's coming here. Never said we're going out! I'm not ready obviously.... I'm not going anywhere. And tell him to come and ask me directly!" I said and slammed the door on his face. Ok.... it was not his mistake.
And then after a few seconds I heard banging on my door. I stood right in front of my door but didn't open it. I waited for him to stop but no it just got louder and louder!
I opened the door with force but pulled back when he was almost going to bang on my face. Almost! Thank god!
There he stood glaring at me. I could feel smoke coming out of his ears. He stood there in his usual Italian suit. Not a hair out of place. And his mouth clenching in a sexy way. ooh his lips "Why is that you asked him to tell me? Tell me directly" he said the last sentence trying to mimic me with a smirk.
"When you called you said you were coming over. Now you sent someone to bring me to your car. I'm not dressed to go out." I whined and he looked annoyed.
"Do you have lunch, or do we go out? Or do you want to order?" He asked. I obviously asked him to order and we settled on pizza. Which I know he hates. Not that much. Damn he's too straight. Why is he here? For lunch?!
We were sitting awkwardly waiting for the delivery to come. "Uhm... do you want watch movies?" I asked and he looked completely clueless.
"Sure yeah." He said finally letting go of his stiff attitude. He didn't smile but him being at ease makes me feel at ease.
"Come let's go to my room... bed is more comfortable than the sofa" to which he raised his eyebrows in a questioning look. What? "Come on..." I said and he shook his head smiling to himself. What's so funny? "Actually you wait here for the delivery guy, I'll clean my room until then. And there's my clutch on the table... you can use the cash" and ran upstairs to my room.
My house isn't that huge. Small. I mean very small. There's a small kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and in the corner is a very small room. And then upstairs there's just a single room with no door but an attach bathroom.
Nick came into room holding a box aaaand that's wine, I guess. That's in my fridge... hmm.... "what are we watching?" he asked quiet decently.
"The Big Wedding!" I said smiling at him.
"What!" Ugh! What?! How many times does he ask what in a day.
"I watched only half the movie that day on television. So, I bought a copy" I lied blinking at him... giving him the same innocent look.
He agreed at the end... but didn't speak a word the entire time. I quietly enjoyed my pizza since he wasn't eating much except the wine.
"That's gross. He likes his adopted brother’s sister?" He said making a disgusted face regarding the movie.
"Might sound disgusting to you. I mean it is but.... love isn't disgusting. It can happen to anyone at any point of time. There are different types of love" I said, and he had that look saying, 'oh really'.
Then we heard a moan and shit I thought this was the cleanest movie in my collection. Cause I have all erotic movies. I guess I forgot the ending. Nick's eyes widened but thankfully it was just five seconds.
When the movie ended, I dared to look at him first. I didn't notice before but now I did. His suit jacket was gone along with his tie. His sleeves were now folded up to his arms. His first three buttons were open, and I slowly looked up at his chest and then to his lips. But his eyes spoke differently. Was it because I pushed him away that day?
I'm going to make the first move. I thought and got up to stand but the table on my lap moved and my glass of wine fell on his still crisp white shirt. Shit! "Oh my God! I'm so sorry. I didn't realize… so sorry I didn't do it on purpose" I started blabbering.
"No, it's OK." he said squeezing his eyes tightly. I guess I've managed to screw it up. "It's ok. I have spare clothes. I've to just call Mark, could you bring me my phone" he asked. I nodded and quickly ran downstairs. When I got up to the room. He was standing half naked without his shirt. I placed his phone on his hand and I was still looking at his chest.
By the time I reached his lips he moved his eyes on me, freezing me right there. I couldn't control myself I pulled his neck down and smashed my lips onto his to which he responded too quickly by biting my lower lip and eventually entered my mouth. I nibbled on his upper lip and he pulled back smiling at me and invaded my mouth again not giving me a second to breath. We stumbled back into the bed. He ripped my shirt and unclasped my bra slowly. Just the way he looked at me brought sparks inside. He squeezed my breast while the other was in his mouth biting and nibbling on it. I stiffened only when his hands reached my jeans. He looked up at me giving me a reassuring smile. He pulled my pants off in a single go and then his pants too joined the floor. So, this is it? This is it! This it!
"No this isn't it" he said chuckling at me and pulled back like he realised something. "I know you’re not the kind of girl who'll give it to anyone. You're waiting for the wedding night, aren't you?" He asked but I didn't reply, and my silence gave it away.
"What?!" I screamed when he got up completely. He's not wearing boxers. I turned my face away which I'm sure is as red as a tomato.
He switched on the TV again and went through my collection. Oh Noo! He had a hidden smirk looking at them. He chose "Crazy, stupid Love". Oh well that looks decent too. While all the others had a cover picture with a man or women butt naked. He came back picking the wine bottle from the table and stood next to me. "Scoot over" he said but I didn't move instead I turned my face away. He sat behind me and slid his hand on my stomach pulling me back into his chest and his dick poking my ass. That made me gasp loudly and he laughed.
His hand moved down to my stomach moving down again until he cupped my wet core and rubbed it slowly making me wet as fuck. I held onto that hand and held his thighs tightly. My breathing got more ragged as he continued sucking my neck. And his hands moved in... and slowly entered. Doesn't it pain? I mean... even his fingers are long.... "oh my Nick" I moaned his name as I moved my hip matching the rhythm. He pushed my breast moving me back so that he could access my neck to bite it while I sat facing the TV. His fingers increasing their speed every passing second.
"Tell my name.. my name sweetheart" he rasped in my ear, he knew I was close.
"Nick.... Nick........ NICK" I screamed his name the last time as I exploded all over his hands and fell back onto his chest as he still held on to my boob hardly.
I looked back at him. At his eyes. Dark blue lust filled eyes. I could feel his desire for me. Never ever in my life did I feel so special and valued. He looked at me like I'm something precious. His touch so gentle yet rough all at the same time. I guess my life with him will be good.
"Close your eyes" he said in his deep voice and I quickly obeyed like a good girl resting my head on his shoulder like a pillow. Well a hard one. "Sleep" he said and pecked my lip lightly and I slept with a content smile.
The next day I woke up.... naked... next to this handsome naked man.
Mmm.... It feels so good. Waking up next to him. Half his body was on my half. His mouth pressed up just below my shoulder and his arm around my stomach. I guess I'm going to have a very sexually active life with a god-like husband.
"Nick...Nick!" I shook him awake. He got up opening just an eye. "Wake up… I've to go pick Chrissy and then to your mother's.... wake up. It's our wedding today" I said, and it did it.
"I'm up...." he said and suddenly came up on me straddling me as I put my leg around him.
"Ready to get married?" He asked and my smile slipped away..... am I? Am I ready to get married?
Evelyn's POV"Oh, sweetheart you look so pretty. That's a beautiful gown you've chosen" Nina said with a huge smile. "I can't believe you're finally going to be my daughter-in-law just as I always wished for" she said holding my hand looking me up and down with a bright gleam in her eyes. Wow! I didn't know someone would he this happy to see me as a bride. Her eyes filled with tears and she turned away from me going out of the room. Okaaaay... too emotional. I'm too excited and nervous all at together. It's going to be a Sunday wedding at sunset. Well we've decided at six and the ceremony will take place for an hour and it will be the perfect dinner time at our reception.I looked at myself in the mirror again. I hope nothing's missing. "Something old I said looking at my cute yet simple bridal hair crown with a veil attached to it. It seems it belonged to Nick's Mom. This was her wedding hair crown. I guess I only have 'something old', no someth
Evelyn's POVWe got into the waiting limousine and.... drove to I don't know where. I didn't take part much in my wedding preparations. soo... and I don't even know if I'm going to even have a "honeymoon"! I looked to my right to see him staring right back at me."We will be staying at my penthouse today. And tomorrow we will leave tooo.... uhm. I'll tell you tomorrow" he said with a gentle smile trying to reassure me that everything's going to be okay."Your penthouse?" I asked. The one where he takes his women?"No.. no... this is a new one. It's my hotel. The one that me and Daniel have in partnership. I only bought it for you. I mean for after the wedding. Our house will be ready by the time we come back... and it's not.. thaaat penthouse.""Yeah... such a long explanation" I said chuckling at his nervous state."What I wanted to say was that there's no other women. Before? Yes. But not now. And it's a
Evelyn's POV"Where would you like to go for lunch ma'am?" My cute little personal bodyguard Oliver asked. Personal bodyguard?! I know right? Very irritating. I mean what was the need?"Stop calling me Ma'am, Oliver!" I said strictly.But no use."Sorry ma'am. We are not allowed to" Ugh! I went towards the car while Oliver was already holding the door open for me. How sweet!But my mood soon turned dim looking at the number of cars and bodyguards behind me.I haven't yet gotten used to it. It's kinda creepy with so many men following you."You're here to see that everything is of my convenience, right?" I asked him."Yes ma'am" he said in his usual clipped tone."So Livvy....." I used that name purposely to annoy him. But that has no effect on him. "I don't want those men following me!" I told with my eyes narrowed at him."I'm sorry ma'am. We cannot do that. Mr. Perkins' orders" he said with his goggle
NICHOLAS'S POVAll this happened because of Oliver. He should've told me that he's bringing her to that restaurant. I'd stay a kilometer away from where she was. And to top it off Barbara is soo clingy! Did she have to hug me only when she, my wife was there, and I, like a fool held on to her thinking that she's hurt. Thank God I moved out of that place, otherwise she wouldn't even think before kissing me. Who was she? No one important!EVELYN'S POVWhere the hell am I? This white place looks like a fucking hospital!"We are in my private jet?" Nicholas answered guessing the question my mind."What?!" I abruptly got up from my sleeping position. I looked around me confirming what he said. "Where are we going?" I asked him."You forgot? I asked to pack your clothes for our honeymoon remember?" He asked making me gasp."But...... bu-" I stopped myself. I myself don't know what I want. I did want to go e
Nicholas's POV"I don't understand why haven't you guys finished this yet?! You don't even have a lead Mark!" I screamed into the phone."Sir we tried, but every lead is a dead end!" Mark said back with frustration. I don't care."I've no idea what you're going to do. But I want it sorted out quickly. Who was that guy who just walked into my wedding trying to spoil it, and none of you were aware of his actions if I hadn't alerted you. Forget him! He just died last week. What about those men who were following Eve at the mall? Thankfully they didn't attack, and your reason was that we had less men. What if they had actually attacked? I don't understand how my father chose you all to protect me?! Or to even enter into this field!" This shut him up, I guess.I was still waiting for him when suddenly I felt like I was being watched or someone's.... presence."Mark I'll call you back" I whispered and cut the call immediately.
Evelyn's POV"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
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
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
"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
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
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
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.
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. En
