Evelyn's Pov.

" Can you give me a moment alone, please?", My voice quivered. I was addressing everyone in the dressing room with me. Everyone fussing and fretting about increased my anxiety.

"We'll excuse for a while, my dear ", Mrs Greene said ushering everyone out without even questioning me. Once I was alone I loosened the tight grip I had on my dress.

I listened to the busy stir outside, sounds that were so close but felt distant. I felt detached like I was watching a movie and somehow I was still the main actress.

The huge oak door of the dressing room separates me from the few humming and laughter outside.

In the large mirror before me, I saw the reflection of a dazzling woman, clothed in the finest appearal, but inside I was falling apart, breaking into tiny pieces.

I needed to breath, to clamp down on the need to scream and pull my hair. To stop the exaggerated congratulations and clear envy.

My fingers trembled as I touched my face examining the expertly applied makeup, it wa

    Evelyn's Pov."Why the rush, husband?. I am enjoying the show", I whispered as well stretching to pull his earlobe between my lips.He stiffened, his fingers squeezing mine as he groaned into my ears."I'm not playing games", he whispered harshly still managing to keep his smile, he took the lead walking to meet the guests."Who said I was playing?", I said sweetly once he stopped to converse with an acquaintance.I wanted to know what control felt like, instead of squirming whenever he roared."The newest couples in town", a man said shaking Adrian's hand. He looked my way briefly acknowledging me with a stiff nod which I nicely return."I need to get something to drink", I said detangling our linked fingers. My feets lead me to a table filled with several glasses of champagne."Not even one of her family member in attendance, that's sad, at this point she's more like an orphan". I wondered if Adrian and his nosy friend knew I was still within earshot or maybe they just didn't care.

    Evelyn's Pov."Adrian's ruthless, Evelyn. Be careful". Those were the last words the stranger said to me before he managed to stealthily disappear behind the garden.I held onto the file tightly casting wary looks around me.Was this the life I signed myself into, where I had to constantly look over my shoulders in fear?.I released a sigh of relief once I see Joe walking hurriedly towards the gazebo."Joe", I called out to him in panic."Mrs Blackwood, what are you doing out here in this cold", he said lines of worry drawn on his perturbed face."Some.... somebody, a man was here just now and he gave me this ", I said in a trembling voice showing him the file.He takes it from me, flipping it left and right in confusion."Can you tell Adrian I need to see him, I think he's still at the party". I was mad at Adrian but I felt a sliver of trust that he will know how to handle this."Sure, ma'am".When they both arrive, with the file in Adrian's hand. I'm shocked beyond words as he lifts

    Evelyn's Pov.I relaxed once I felt Adrian pulling me to his warm body, eliciting sparks bursting through my veins."Calm down, Evelyn", He said wrapping his arms securely around me."I'm sure my men are handling the situation properly", He added. I nodded into his chest ignoring the cascading emotions messing with my mind. My heart pounded as my body trembled with terrifying thrills. His warmth seeped into me somehow chasing away the choking fear I felt. I shouldn't read too much meaning to this but I couldn't help it.I was a nervous wreck, disturbed by the commotion taking place outside on one hand, and also carried away by the distracting paroxysms raising the temperature around us.I wanted this moment to end quickly so I can go back to pretending that this never happened.We pulled apart from each other when the lights in the house flickered back on, it seemed as if the brief enchanting spell we were under suddenly dissipated.I met his melting eyes and willed myself to remain

    Evelyn's Pov."Get dressed we're going out", Adrian barked bursting into my room. I was standing by the window, gazing at the garden, it was an habit that was becoming hard to break."Where are we going?", I asked suppressing my anger. Just yesterday he had pulled me into his arms protectively, now he seemed okay for him to barge into my room without permission."You'll see, just change into something formal and befitting", He said. Of course my opinion didn't matter, especially since I'm a puppet meant to be controlled as he pleases.I was wearing my own clothes, not picking from the uncountable arrays of designers I couldn't touch because they reminded me of him."Alright", I nodded keeping my voice as submissive as I could.He watched me with an unclear expression leaning on the doorframe, his authoritative presence made the room seem small despite its enormous space."I'll be waiting downstairs. Don't waste my time", He said narrowing his eyes dismissively before walking away.I r

    Evelyn's Pov.I rolled my eyes ignoring the condescending way he spoke to me, I knew there was something he wanted to achieve, a point he was trying to prove. So I need to stay focused and not fall for his trap.Silence stretched through the office weighing heavily on me, the soft humming of the air purifier filled the room along with the distracting fragrance of his cologne. It was the only sound I could concentrate on apart from the light tapping of Adrian's fingers on the keyboard.I moved to the desk rigidly, I knew was watching me, observing my movements under the ridiculous guise of being busy.The office was enormous,so the space between us was bearable. The dark wooden desk was shining and smooth under my touch, I pulled the chair behind me and settled on it.Even though he didn't mention it, I knew deep down that this was a test of loyalty to stylishly know whose side I was on, I was ready to prove him wrong, to set myself straight but I was also determined not to break a s

    Evelyn's Pov.I stepped into the kitchen, grateful for a new day, despite the imposing sensation I felt when Adrian touched me yesterday,I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. The house today felt more like I was walking through a maze and I'm even more tangled up in Adrian's world than I thought I would be.The sun was still peeking through the sky, curtains moving slowly as the chilly morning air filled the kitchen."Good morning, Miss Evelyn", Mrs Greene greeted me coming out of the pantry with a basket of potatoes. Her warm smile made the air less tensed, everything about her made me feel calm."Good morning, Mrs Greene", I replied. A faint smile playing on my lips. Since I arrived here, she has always offered charitable help once in a while without faltering or questions. It made me feel like I wasn't completely alone.She dropped the basket on the kitchen slab, before coming to rub my arms with tender affection in her eyes, "If I knew Adrian was taking you to his

    Evelyn Pov.I kept my voice tight, my cold tone making sure he knew he had crossed a line this time, "Take your filthy hand away from me".His grip on my hand tightened holding me in place, I tried to yank my hand back as his touch burned my skin but his hold on me was strong, almost painful and I detested the way it made it seem like he had power over me, with the obstinate look in his eyes."Let me go", I hissed.He kept his voice cold and calm, "Not until we are done with this conversation".My pulse quickened in anger, he was going too far by physically restraining me moving in order to control me at his will.The heat from his body seeped into the thin fabric of my white silk blouse and it made my blood boil.I tilted my head up looking straight into his familiar icy eyes, the look that was meant to make me feel inferior, to make me cower in fear and passively adhere to his relentless commands without complain, but I'm currently on the verge of erupting to stop him from continuou

    Evelyn's Pov.Michael stood up, " Are you even listening to yourself. If you claim you were scammed why isn't there any report to confirm, Victoria. You're the real conniving bitch here", He bellowed.The air was harsh against my skin, the scent of expensive perfumes mingling with the tension filling the air, it all felt conflicting."That's enough. Evans please escort her out of here and ensure to inform the security never to let her in again", Adrian said.My shoulders bunched in annoyance at the words coming out of Adrian's mouth."Adrian you are making a big mistake by letting her go again", Michael warned." Just take her away", He gestured towards Victoria. He ignored Michael's warning and I felt livid. What kind of mistake was he letting himself make again?.I wanted to speak to him, to change his mind, but I stopped once I saw the deadset look in his eyes.What was the essence of digging up a crime just to let the person go so easily.

You're going to give a detailed analysis of the financial records of the boutique you're heading", he ordered.Victoria tenses whipping her head to look at Adrian as her mouth parted in shock." Analysis?", She questioned. Her perfectly arched brows wrinkled as she blinked in disbelief. Everybody watched her, the silence in the room almost deafening." Yes. You know very well that reports like that come up once in a while. Besides I haven't asked for a report from you for the past four years ", he said. " You should have told me before, I didn't prepare anything", She drawled passing warning glare at anyone who dared to look at her. I looked at Adrian, observing his cool and collected poise. I still didn't understand what he planned to do to her." Doesn't matter", He shrugged. " Pick up your system and do a quick rundown of the financial records, that's all. Stop stalling "."Adrian ", She whispered fluttering her fake lashes at him. " Can we talk outside quickly?".

    Evelyn's Pov."You're a coward".My words stopped him in his tracks and I inhaled sharply." What did you just say?", His nostrils flared."Let me help you", I repeated." Stop running", I added.I could see the conflict in his eyes, his silent battle with trust."I'm not doing this with you", he turned back to the door."Let me help you, Adrian. I'm not going to stop trying", I said.He halted and I closed the distance between us resting my hand on his shoulder, he spun around and I shrieked as he slammed his lips on mine. Keeping me locked in a kiss filled with so much uninhibited passion, I felt like I would pass out.My hands pressed against his firm chest, but I couldn't push him off, not when his tongue sent a feverish sensation down my spine. He suddenly stopped kissing me and cradled my face looking me dead in the eye." You keep messing with my mind that I'm resulting to drinking to keep myself sane but it only makes it worse", he said inhaling deeply. I watched him unable

    Evelyn's Pov." Come with me, you're going to regret scheming with Michael again ", he huffed holding my wrist firmly dragging me as he walked to his room."What's going on?", I asked."You keep finding ways to make me livid", he barked." At least you can tell me what I did this time", I said."What happened to the phone I gave you, and don't even try to lie to me, Evelyn", He raised his voice making me tremble I fear. How did he know about that?. I felt terrified beyond words, Michael had promised Adrian's hackers wouldn't be able to trace the encrypted software.Mrs Greene appeared at the bottom of the stairs gazing worriedly at us. We were still at the entrance of his room and his grip was becoming increasingly painful."What's wrong?", She asked.Adrian groaned looking even more angry than before, " I'm talking to my wife, Mrs Greene. Go back to the kitchen ", He bellowed." Adrian?", I blinked shocked by his rude tone." Get in the room now ", He shouted. I blinked back my tea

    Evelyn's Pov." Adrian still needs something concrete to pin down Richard Carter and expose his hidden agenda, that's what I've placed in your hands", he divulged." Okay", I whispered.

So I've provided encrypted softwares to conceal every information you gather until you're ready to show him", he relayed." Thank you Michael.

    Evelyn's Pov.I stood at the garden watching as the gardener snipped off excess growth on the Bougainvillea shrubs. The tempered wind blew the trees fiercely, the gardener worked regardless.I watched him distracted by my own thoughts, I felt more like the wind right now.I felt my phone vibrating in the pocket of my short, I moved to a shade after seeing Michael's name on the screen."Hello"."I saw your message, I was busy with work", he explained." I really needed someone to share my thoughts with. Adrian doesn't listen to me. And I don't want to burden Mrs Greene with these heartbreaking news about my father", I told him."What's wrong?", He asked.The wind was a bit still now but the clouds were dark and heavy with rain." Would you believe if I said he didn't even deny it when I brought up the things he did he did to your family."" Honestly, I believe you. He is twisted in the head. Sometimes, whenever I think about, I feel like he deserves whatever Adrian has planned for him.

    Evelyn's Pov.I shrugged, " I don't know. You asked me to stay in your room for a reason, and I won't leave until I have a valid reason to".He turned his head to the left observing me with caution."Do I have something on my face?", I said feeling self-conscious." No", he said looking away from me to focus on the plate of chicken à la king. The savoury smell waters my mouth."I got a call from your father, he said he wants to see you", he stated.I dropped my cultery squinting at him, "Why?", I probed." How am I supposed to know?. I wondered why he didn't speak to you directly ", he responded." I blacklisted him, Adrian. I was tired of his repeated threatening messages ", I clarified.He widened his eyes, " He is still your father, you know", he said." He treated me like an outcast, now that I know what the gravity of the evil he caused your family.

    Evelyn's Pov."I understand you might be feeling abashed", Joe cleared the thick tension in the car.I sat at the backseat, crossing my arms tightly over my chest. Stream of colours blurred the lights of the passing city as I stared out the window. Whirls of thoughts filled my mind about Adrian, I was livid but I tried to shove it aside. I had to ignore the nosy looks of people at the restaurant as I walked out with Joe, leaving Michael behind. I felt like a child caught doing something bad.And another major concern was Michael's clear explanation about the whole issue.There were so many pieces in this puzzle I was trying to figure out, so I couldn't afford to lose my composure."I understand you were only doing your job, Joe", I said. His expression was guarded, when he had walked up to me at the restaurant to relay Adrian's order to bring me back home. He looked reluctant, it was clear he was still on the edge of being caught in the crossfire between Adrian and I.As we got to t
