Noticing Evelyn, Alaric pushed Dianna away and looked at Evelyn, fuming with anger, "What are you doing here?"The next moment, Alaric's gaze then traveled to Bryan, silently asking for answers. Before Alaric could question, Bryan replied, "I tried to stop Mrs. Pritzker, but she didn't listen."Evelyn interrupted and let out a laugh, her eyes fixed at Alaric, "I was told you were busy with a meeting, but now I can see what kept you busy."Alaric's anger grew, but he still didn't explain that earlier Dianna suddenly kissed him, catching him off guard. He cold-heartedly asked Evelyn, "What do you want?"Evelyn calmly controlled her anger and said, "I want to talk to you," then she looked at Dianna and said, "Alone."Bryan understood that it was time for him to leave. He said, "I'm leaving first," and he left, closing the door.Evelyn, Alaric, and Dianna, were the ones standing in the room now. "Ms. East, I think you didn't listen to my words clearly." Evelyn shifted her gaze to Dianna
"If you're here to talk about the news, then I've already had it taken down from the internet," Alaric said, his cold-hearted expression back on his face. "Also, I'll handle our families."Evelyn's expression softened right after Dianna left the room. She looked at Alaric with a mix of sadness and disappointment, and said, "Alaric, how could you do this to me? You know that I did everything in my power to make you love me."Even though a wave of guilt washed over Alaric's mind, his expression was still hard. Seeing that Evelyn returned to her gentle self, he calmed his tone down, and he replied, "We can talk about this later. Right now, I have work to do."Evelyn's anger started to rise again, and she exclaimed, "No, Alaric Pritzker! We are going to talk about this right now." She shouted out, "You know how much humiliation that I will suffer after being abandoned by you! Please tell me, what was my fault?! Why was I not enough?!"Alaric let out an exasperated sigh, "Evelyn, this is m
Alaric grabbed Evelyn's delicate body and fiercely thrust into her. Their unclothed bodies brushed against one another. Their clothing was all over the floor. Their groans and labored breathing could be heard across the entire room. Even though Alaric despised Evelyn, he couldn't help but feel good about her. Evelyn moaned on and on until they reached their climax, at the point when Alaric poured his seed inside of her.They finished, panting and looking into each other's eyes. Alaric felt a strange unnamed emotion towards her, but he quickly brushed it off.After a few minutes,Alaric finished buttoning up his shirt and turned to face Evelyn, who had just finished zipping up her dress. She smiled to herself, thinking that finally, Alaric had looked at her. She had been waiting for this moment for so long.But her smile quickly faded when Alaric spoke. "You need to take an emergency pill," he said, frowning. "I don't want any unwanted pregnancies, so it's better if you take one."Evel
Main house of the Pritzer Household,Aurora was pacing back and forth in her room, visibly irritated. Just then, she noticed her ringing phone, and she hurriedly answered it.Dianna finally called her, "Hey, Aurora, I just finished my photoshoot and I called you as soon as I saw your text. Is everything okay?"Aurora growls, "No, nothing is okay!"Dianna was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?" Her scream echoed in the empty green room.Aurora told her, "That bitch Evelyn finally got what she wanted. She finally managed to climb into my brother's bed."Dianna was horrified, "What?"Aurora's voice was filled with disgust, "That slut Evelyn is very cunning. Today, I went to their place and guess what? I saw hickeys on her neck. That bitch had the audacity to flaunt those marks."Dianna took a pause. Indeed, she was wondering why Alaric had been out of touch since the past few days. This is the reason she sent Aurora over to the Azure villa, to check on him.Hearing everything, Diann
Evelyn woke up and walked to the living room, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw Dianna sitting on the couch. Evelyn's anger started to bubble up inside her, and she clenched her fists in fury. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief and irritation. Dianna stood up with a smirk, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Just taking a tour of the house of my future husband," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. Before Evelyn could respond, Alaric entered the room, his attention solely on Dianna. Evelyn's heart sank as she watched him ignore her presence. "Dianna, why are you here?" Alaric asked, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and curiosity. Without hesitation, Dianna rushed towards Alaric and hugged him tightly. A flicker of surprise crossed Alaric's face as he glanced at Evelyn. He stood there, his arms hanging on both sides, allowing Dianna to hold onto him. Evelyn looked away, her heart sinking even further. Tears welled up in Dianna's
Evelyn was cooking in the kitchen, her eyes downcast as she stirred the boiling pot. She heard the sound of footsteps and looked up to see Dianna walking in. Evelyn's heart dropped, she knew Dianna was here to cause trouble."Hello soon to be ex-wife," Dianna mocked, a cruel glint in her eyes. "I hope you know that Alaric is going to divorce you soon." She added, "Since he doesn't love you anymore."Evelyn, feeling a surge of anger, clenched her teeth but remained silent, not wanting to engage in any argument with Dianna. She tried to focus on the cooking, but Dianna kept taunting her."What happened to you now?" Dianna sneered. "Last day you were quite bold."Evelyn took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. "I have nothing to say to you, Ms. East. I suggest you leave before things escalate."Dianna's eyes burned with rage, and she stepped closer to Evelyn. "How dare you ignore me, bitch?" Dianna spat, grabbing Evelyn's hand roughly and spinning her around.Evelyn winced i
The sun shone down on the grand exterior of Evelyn's maternal home, the luxurious villa of the Rockefellers, nestled in the heart of the city. As she walked towards the front door, Evelyn was greeted warmly by the servants who had been with her family for years."Welcome back, our young lady. It's good to have you home," greeted the head butler with a smile.Evelyn returned the smile, feeling comforted by the warm reception. "Thank you. It feels good to be home."As she stepped into the foyer, Evelyn was greeted by Freya, the housekeeper, who approached her with a smile. They exchanged a few words."Ms. Freya, where is Dad?" asked Evelyn, sensing the hesitation in the other woman's demeanor."Sir is currently in his study. He is... in a bad mood," replied Freya, her expression reflecting her unease."I see. Please inform him that I'm waiting for him in the living room," said Evelyn, trying to keep her tone steady. "Thank you, Freya."Freya nodded before turning to leave. "Do you want
Christian's frown deepened. "This marriage is based on a lot of business deals, Evelyn. You can't just divorce Alaric."Evelyn clenched her fists in frustration, feeling trapped. He took a heavy sigh. "There were a bunch of suitors I had offered you. You rejected everyone because you fell for Alaric. You even dropped your flourishing career and became a full-time housewife. What do you expect me to tell you?"His words hit Evelyn like a ton of bricks, the hurt and disappointment evident on her face."Look, you decided to get married to Alaric, and I didn't refuse you because his status matched ours. Now that you both are planning a divorce because of some mere game of feelings, what do you think will happen to the two companies that have a strong relationship thanks to your marriage?" Christian expressed concern, his words weighing heavily on Evelyn."The only choice you have now is to improve your relationship with Alaric," he said, his tone softer now.Evelyn's eyes welled up with
"What do you mean?" Evelyn questioned.Kevin began to explain, "Jeremy, Dianna's older brother, was Alaric's bodyguard. When Alaric was around eleven years old, he was almost killed by enemies of the Pritzker family. Jeremy took a bullet for him and died to save his life. Jeremy's last request was for Alaric to take care of his only family, his baby sister, Dianna. Since then, Alaric has carried immense guilt for Jeremy's death and has treated Jeremy's family as his own. Alaric started spending more time with Dianna to ease her grief and ensure she didn't feel her brother's absence, he also sponsored everything for her. Dianna, too, supported Alaric tremendously, and on her eighteenth birthday, she proposed to him. Out of care for her, Alaric ended up promising to marry her and care for her for the rest of her life, not truly understanding the meaning of love. However, Alaric's parents didn't approve of Dianna as their daughter-in-law due to their status."Evelyn offered a sad smile a
"You're pregnant?" Kevin questionedEvelyn, unable to hold back her emotions any longer, remained silent as tears began streaming down her cheeks. She nodded slowly, confirming Kevin's suspicion.Knowing Alaric well, Kevin understood that he would never want a child at this point in his life. He cleared his throat, trying to find the right words, before finally asking, "Does Alaric know about this?"Evelyn wiped away her tears with a trembling hand and shook her head, imploring Kevin, "Please don't tell him. I beg you, he will want to get rid of the child."Sighing deeply, Kevin knew he had to do something. He reached into his pocket, grabbing his phone, and dialed a number. With a concerned tone, he spoke into the receiver, "Hey buddy, I'm sorry but there's an emergency I need to deal with. I'll catch up with you later."After hanging up, Kevin turned his attention back to Evelyn, his face filled with an unknown emotion. "Let's have a talk," he suggested.Evelyn looked at him in conf
Exiting the doctor's chamber, Evelyn's mind was in turmoil. She wondered how she would tell Alaric about her pregnancy. Deep down, she knew Alaric would not want to have a child with her, given their crumbling relationship.Lost in her thoughts, Evelyn's steps paused, and she found herself clutching the report tightly with one hand while protecting her belly with the other. She muttered to herself, "What if he asks me to abort this child?"The mere thought of abortion made Evelyn's heart ache and bleed.___________Amidst the chaotic, honking cars on the road, Evelyn's mind was in disarray. Unbeknownst to her, tears streamed down her cheeks. Wiping them away, she looked at the report once more, contemplating her next move. Just then, a voice called out from behind, causing her to freeze in fear."Evelyn?"Evelyn turned around, horrified to see Kevin, Alaric's best friend, standing there.Kevin's voice was laced with suspicion as he questioned her, "What are you doing in front of a hos
At noon, Evelyn rushed to the bathroom sink and began to vomit again. She gagged as she threw up everything she had for breakfast, feeling utterly uneasy.After washing her face, she stumbled back to her bedroom. As she sat down on the edge of her bed, she took out her phone and opened the calendar.Her eyes widened with concern as she muttered to herself, "My period is late." She quickly stood up, panicked, and hurriedly opened her drawer to check for her intact packet of birth control pills. Upon realizing that she hadn't been taking them regularly, she mumbled, "Oh shit, this can't be happening."Evelyn frantically grabbed her purse and rushed out of her house. Outside, she flagged down a taxi and hopped inside, gasping, "Please drive me to the nearest hospital."As the taxi sped towards the hospital, Evelyn was still in a state of shock. She spoke to herself in a low voice, "How could I be so careless?"______________________________________________________________Two hours lat
The morning sun slowly filtered in through the window, casting a warm glow on the living room floor where Evelyn laid sound asleep. She was jolted awake by a gentle shake and the sound of her butler, Kenny's soft voice. Blinking her eyes and wincing because of the severe headache, she struggled to sit up."Madam, please wake up. Are you okay?" Kenny asked, his voice laced with concern as he knelt down by her side.Evelyn blinked her eyes several times to clear her head before looking around, trying to piece together what happened last night. As her gaze fell on the now-clean floor, she felt a pang of guilt for making Kenny clean up the mess."I'm sorry for making you clean up the mess," she said softly.Kenny shook his head gently, his eyes still filled with worry, "No, madam, please don't apologize. I wanted to place you somewhere more comfortable, but I was forbidden to touch you. I didn't want to anger Sir."Evelyn let out a sad smile in understanding and nodded. "Where is he?" she
"So, you've finally decided to come home?" Alaric was angry, but Evelyn did not seem to understand why her so-called husband was waiting for her.Evelyn, clearly drained, simply replied, "I'm too tired for your taunts."Attempting to leave, Evelyn was halted by Alaric, who grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.A demanding tone filled Alaric's voice as he asked, "It's 1 am. Where have you been since morning?"An irritated expression on her face, Evelyn replied, "I said I'm tired."Alaric felt his anger building up, but his gaze shifted to the dried bloodstain on Evelyn's forehead. Curiosity took over, and he gently inquired, "How did you get this injury?"Alaric reached out to touch the wound, but Evelyn slapped Alaric's hand away, defiance in her eyes. "It's none of your business," she retorted.Alaric furrowed his brow and released his grip on her. Calming himself, he repeated his question, this time with a mix of fury and concern."Where have you been, Evelyn?" He asked.Respondi
Alaric was dropping Dianna off at her home after they visited the hospital. As he helped her with the seat belts, he asked, "Is your leg okay?""Luckily it wasn't a sprain." Dianna smiled, "Don't worry, I can walk now thanks to the medication."Alaric nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow, then." Dianna stayed in her seat, motionless. Suddenly, she grabbed Alaric's tie, bringing him close to her and kissing him deeply. However, Alaric didn't respond to the kiss, keeping his lips pursed together.Dianna pulled back, disappointed, and asked, "Why won't you kiss me back?" Alaric looked at her sternly and replied, "We shouldn't be doing this before our marriage. I don't want anyone to see us and make insulting comments about you."Dianna became angry and asked, "You keep telling me that we'll get married, Ric, but when is that going to happen? You still haven't gotten Evelyn to sign the divorce papers."Alaric paused, unsure of what to say. Finally, he cleared his throat and replied, "I did gi
