She laughed at Brendan's comment as they walked down the road, sharing a box of greasy chicken and chips that had already started getting cold.
Roman would never say she looked hot. He'd say exquisite or some other posh word.
That thought made the laughter die on her lips as she put a chip in her mouth.
"You've been like this all day. Are you going to tell me what's wrong or not?
She pushed thoughts of Roman aside and concentrated on what was real.
"Nothing's wrong. But I still don't get what we're doing here. This isn't where we usually party."

What was Evelyn doing with that boy? Had she not bothered to read the new rules even now?“Is everything okay, Roman?” Vivian asked.He pulled his gaze away from the taxi to look at the woman hanging onto his arm. Her grip was so tight as if she was trying to fuse herself to his side.“It’s fine,” he lied as he pulled his phone out of his pocket while he led Vivian to the front door of her parents’ house.He sent Philip a quick text. Tonight was very important to him and he wouldn’t let Evelyn derail him. What had she even been doing here? Making sure he saw her dressed like that? Showing him that she didn’t give a shit about the rules?

It had been a while since Roman had been in a club. Between working, revenge, his father and Evelyn, there wasn't any time left over for anything else.There were queues outside the club when he got out of the taxi but he ignored them to walk to the front.And he ignored Phillip's grin when he met him at the door. That man had been doing that a lot lately and it was getting on his nerves."Good evening, sir," one of the doormen said as they opened the door for him.He nodded and walked in. It took a moment to adjust to the light and loud music. This place looked like a typical club - grinding bodies on the dancefloor and along the walls. Fuck knew what debauchery was hidden in the dim lighting. And Evelyn was

Eve didn't want to stop him.Even though her heart was shattered. Even though Roman had just shown her that she wasn't good enough for him. This would always be only about sex. Just a stupid chemical reaction that she didn't have the willpower to stop.She knew all of this yet she was still drowning in the bastard's gorgeous eyes as he knelt in front of her. He was doing that thing again where his eyes told her one thing when he clearly meant another. His eyes made her feel as if she was the only woman in his life.But that was a lie. He could have a million women like her tucked away anywhere in the world. And he also had women like that blonde bombshell who he took out to be photographed with.St

Eve's head was clear when they arrived at the house. She was stone-cold sober. Fear did that to a person. Roman was a billionaire and had the resources to pull off whatever he wanted, and she had pissed him off somehow.She hadn’t said a word to him the whole drive out of the city, but he hadn’t bothered to speak either. She could feel his anger suffocating her in the confined space, and it had pushed her own anger with him to the back of her mind.What had she done wrong?And if he was that pissed off, why had he brought her back here? Why hadn’t he just told her her services were no longer required and just left her in the city?Her answers would be in that contract but she knew deep down t

Roman downed another shot of whiskey as he tried to wash down what he was feeling.He had expected anger. He'd expected fireworks. But for Evelyn to be so scared that she didn't even want him to touch her? It never even crossed his mind.Everyone who did business with him did so with a healthy amount of fear. Even the women who threw themselves at him approached him with caution. He never apologised for the things he had to do to stay ahead.But Evelyn had never looked at him like that, not even once. It was probably the reason he had approached her with the contract to start with.No fear. Just pure lust.He had seen her going

Eve looked down at her phone as it rang again for the millionth time. It was Brendan again.He has been messaging and calling since the early hours of the morning. Besides replying with a quick 'I'm okay, I'll call you later,' just so he wouldn't think she was in a ditch somewhere, she'd ignored everything.Even Miranda and Josie had texted to ask where the two of them had disappeared to last night but she hasn't bothered to reply to them.What could she say?She'd just found out she was fucking the devil? She had given her mind and body to an evil bastard who liked to own people like property?He'd used her body's responses to him against her t

Roman pushed away the paperwork he'd been trying to do all day and looked at the food that had been sitting on the table since lunchtime.Evelyn didn't trust him? Really?Wasn't she the one who'd flaunted her boyfriend in his face? Wasn't she the one who'd started playing these games because she wanted him?Well, he was here so what was the fucking problem?He'd gone out of his way to find out what her schedule would be like so he wouldn't disturb her when she was busy with her academic work. He'd given her a date night. He had essentially guaranteed that he would be the one who was available for her, not the other way round.Like a boyfriend.

Eve watched the car drive away and released a shaky breath.Where was he going? Had he listened to her and realised it was over? Or was he going to come back?She felt the numbness leave her body as her fear of him returned. She'd spent all day in the bedroom wondering if he would come up and demand that she did 'her job'.And she'd also been terrified that despite what she knew and how she felt, her body would respond to him anyway. He had a hold on her physical responses that she would never understand. He had been right about that part but she had to let go anyway.As the car turned into the road and the gates slid closed behind it, she stood up and grabbed her phone. Her first call was the taxi

Roman opened the door before the doorbell could ring and ushered Phillip inside quickly. “Did you bring it?” He ignored Phillip’s eye roll as he handed him a bag. “I said to hide it!” he hissed as he hid the bag in his coat, “You made me drive all this way for this,” Phillip said. “It was an emergency,” he said. “And I don’t know why you’re complaining. There’s food here, you were going to find an excuse to come, anyway.” He walked to the stairs quickly. “Everyone’s outside. I will be there as soon as I can.”

Evelyn didn’t say anything after his life-altering confession. He could see the unshed tears in her eyes and her mouth dropped open.But no words.“Say something, Evelyn,” he whispered.The rest of his life depended on this conversation. Had he made the right choice? He’d put his heart on the line again knowing that he would never recover if she left him. But was it enough to just tell her he loved her?“There has been no one else for me since you walked into my building for your interview. No one. I saw your face that night when you saw me with Vivian, I know that’s when I lost your trust,” he said. “But I haven’t kissed anyone, I haven’t hugged anyone, I

Evelyn was falling for it again.She didn’t know why she had extended the invitation to him instead of just coming clean to her parents. Now he was taking the role of devoted boyfriend too far. He’d joined in and fit in so easily because that was what he did. He could charm the socks off anyone.And she knew this so why was she falling for it again?Just because they’d danced for the first time? Because he’d looked so vulnerable as if for a change they were having a real conversation?But he had done the same when he’d made her sign the contract. He was good at pretending to be what she wanted. Good at pulling at her heartstrings and making her forget who he was under all of that.

Did he buy enough presents?Roman looked back at the back seat full of wrapped presents, the ones he couldn’t fit into the boot.Fuck. It was too much. Would they think he was trying to buy their affection?The gate slid open and it was too late to pull away and dump the presents somewhere. He drove up the driveway with his nerves playing havoc with him and stopped the car next to Evelyn’s.He could do this. He could meet the parents and tell Evelyn how he felt. Just say it and let the chips fall where they may.He saw the front door open and realised he had been sitting in the car for a while. When he got out, he saw it was Evelyn who&rsq

Roman sipped his drink and looked around the club. There were a few couples just holding each other and swaying rather than dancing. By the looks on their faces, he doubted they even knew what song was playing, they were lost in each other.It made his chest ache.He turned back to his drink and the woman beside him. At least the music was low enough to allow a conversation.If he could open his fucking mouth.“How have you been?” he asked.“You could have asked me that when I came to your apartment earlier,” Evelyn snorted.“I know. But I think you’v

He’d done the right thing.Maybe for the first time in his life.So why did he feel like shit again? Like she’d stomped on his dead heart again?He’d poured himself another drink the moment she had left but he still had it in his hand fuck knew how long later. It had taken everything in him to let her walk out that door, so now he had nothing left.The sound of the door closing pulled him out of his thoughts. He gulped his whiskey down and set the glass down before Phillip walked into the room. Phillip looked at the empty glass and then at him. He was now like an annoying, nagging aunty more than anything.“I&

When the elevator stopped in the basement, Evelyn felt like a fool for assuming too many things. Maybe because the things she had read in Pam’s article had stuck in her head. Why had she even thought he would try to explain his actions? Or maybe tell more lies to try to get her back?She’d been so confident he would do that that she’d been thrown off track when he hadn’t. And then all the things she had wanted to ask had escaped her mind. Now she still didn’t know if her parents’ house was really a done deal or she would have to move them again.And if she was honest with herself, she was gutted that he hadn’t even tried. She’d expected something that would have at least allowed her some closure.What did he mean by saying he n

Eve stopped the car at the barrier and rolled down the window. There were two intimidating security guards in the guardhouse that made her want to turn back instantly.This was a mistake.“Um, I’m here to see Mr. Ashfield,” she said to them.She saw the look on the man’s face before he said, “Mr. Ashfield doesn’t accept visitors,” and then shut his window.Did they get this all the time? Women trying to see Roman without an invitation? Though she had washed her hands of him, it still hurt to think about him moving on.She could have called or messaged Roman to tell her she had arrived but maybe this was a sign

Roman slammed the phone down and ignored Phillip as he looked through the paperwork in front of him. He knew Phillip would have something to say about his behaviour but he was tired of hearing that shit.“Are you going home tonight?” Phillip asked.“Yes, when I finish all this. I’ll drive myself so you can do whatever you want.”“I can order some food_”“I’m fine, Phillip,” he said firmly.“You’ve just shouted at Penny for no reason,” Phillip pointed out.He’d been shouting at her a lot.
