Four people stood around the bed. They were all looking very worried for the pale girl that laying on the soft mattress.Evie was having a high fever. Ever since she fainted, Mrs. Arsen was the one who take care of her the most. After John carried her to the bed, Mrs. Arsen wiped her body and changed her clothes to keep her warm.“The doctor’s here, Mom.”Lee said to his mother that keeps caressing Evie’s head. She looked really worried and sad. Evie was like her own granddaughter this whole time. She is the soft, kind-hearted girl that she had ever met. She didn’t deserve this.“Come on, Mom. We need him to treat her, so she can get better really soon.” John said and brought her out of the room. Let the doctor and the nurse entered the bedroom.Mrs. Arsen nodded and walked towards her husband. He was sitting at the long couch in the living room.All of them now were still in Evie’s apartment, as they were searching for some clues of both Alex and Evie’s disappearing.“We have to move
“Grandma? What happens? Why I didn’t know anything?” Evie sobs.Her mind was full of speculation. What else Alex didn’t tell her? Did he lie?“Here drink first. I already told Lee to prepare your meal earlier. You need food and drink first, my child.” Mrs. Arsen told her and Evie could only nod. She didn’t have the energy to say no.She didn’t know why, but lately, she always felt like throwing up if she looked at any kind of food. Even cakes. She thought it might be because she was always afraid of Leo who brought her food before he treat her badly.After drinking a glass of water. Evie felt a little refreshed.“Why didn’t we ask the police for help?” Evie asked her softly.“My child. We can’t tell the police about this matter, because… It will lead them to other things…” She sighed heavily.“The Wayne family was running not only some legal businesses but… underground business, which I believe you want to ask young master directly about it…” She cleared her throat.“What?” Evie’s eye
Lee knocked on the door of Evie’s bedroom and he could hear his mother tell him to come in.Lee opened the door with his left hand his other hand was holding a tray full of meals and fruits.“Your food, Miss.” He said bowed politely.As much as he was a straightforward person that always make him receive death glare from his brother. He always has to respect his master or the lady of the house. In this case, Evangeline was the first and only candidate for this. So, she had all his respect for her.Then, he finally realized the shock and sadness on Evie’s face. He changed his gaze towards his mother and she was already looking at him with a look that told him, Evie already knew everything.He sighed heavily. It was obvious the young master didn’t tell him anything about the dark secret between the two known families. It was a disgrace for both of the family.But soon, she will most likely be the one who runs the household and all the things in the mansion. She deserves to know everythi
Evie was standing on the side of the road where Apollo drop her two days ago.It was three a.m in the morning, the sky was still lighted by the moon. She was already waiting there as Leo requested.It was a chilly morning. Even though she already wore warm clothes but she still felt a little cold from the breeze wind.Evie took a deep breath and inhale the fresh air to relax. She repeatedly told herself that she could do this. This was at least something that she could do to save him, to meet her Alex again.Soon enough, a black car stopped in front of her and Evie knew this was Apollo.She was right because the next second, Apollo got out of the driver's seat and approached her.He bowed a little before standing straight and greeting her.“Good morning, Miss.”“G-good morning…” Evie answered softly.“I need to check you first before you get into the car.” He said took a step forward.Evie frowned and seemed confused as she tilted her head to the side.Apollo was silent for a moment,
“What do you say, baby?” Leo lean closer to the side of her head and whispered the words to her ear. Evie’s eyes were already brimming with tears. She tried so hard not to cry but it seemed that she would fail soon.Leo stared at her eyes and gave her a sharp stare.“Why? You know I can’t do that…” Her shaky voice came along with her sobs.Leo laughed, threw his head back, and laughed like a madman. Evie was so terrified that she froze in her place.A second later, Evie screamed as Leo suddenly grabbed her shoulder roughly and shook her violently.“Why!” He growled at her face.Evie closed her eyes and the tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn’t dare to look at his murderous eyes.“Open your eyes and look at me, you damn woman!” He shook her body making Evie cry helplessly and wince from the pain. She braved herself and opened her teary eyes.“Tell me now baby, why you can’t do that with me? I know you did it a lot with him! Oh, are you playing innocent now, huh?” He hissed against h
Alexander’s POV “Wow… you empty the plate today, handsome. That’s really impressive.” The disgusting woman’s voice could be heard as she collected the empty plate from the floor. I jerked my hand as soon as I felt her on my skin. This woman is a disgusting slut, I didn’t even want to open my eyes to look at her hideous face. “Still feisty aren’t you?” She chuckled. “Lucky for you, today I won’t inject you the drugs. Boss said he wants to talk and he wants you in the proper and best condition. So, please wake up when he is here…” She talked with her made-up sweet voice and I want to vomit. But I didn’t react or even move my eyelids. I could hear her walk away, open the cell bar, and close it again. When I’m sure she was far away. I opened my eyes and gaze around without moving my head. At first, I thought he place me in jail. This room looked like one. A small square room with a toilet in the corner. They used a huge padlock, along with a long iron chain around the bars. The
Evie held her breath all the way Leo lead her inside the building.She was tense as ever when the tall man beside her hugged her so lovingly and excitedly, humming, like they were on a beautiful trip.Meanwhile, the beautiful woman beside him looked so pale and weak. She almost fainted every second, but Leo didn’t even care.He was in a really good mood now. He didn’t notice the way Evie walked even though he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and almost drag her all the way to a place he wanted to show her.“We are almost there. Don’t forget your promise, baby girl.” He said happily.Evie didn’t react to anything until she felt his tight grip. She quickly nodded and said a single, weak, ‘yes’.They were walking in the long hallway. This was a mental asylum but Evie didn’t see any patients on their way here. Only some workers, nurses, and a couple of men and women dressed like a doctor.It was a hospital, but she saw many scary men, guarding the building around, they dressed just lik
Alex’s breath became pants as he heard the words coming out of Evie’s mouth.So many emotions mixed in his mind but his face remained cold and he couldn’t say a single word. Only his eyes kept staring at the woman he loves.His eyes were cold but Evie could feel the warmth from his big palm that rubbed her belly softly.The corner of her lips lifted. She knew he understood what she was saying earlier and he approved of it.But Alex kept his mouth shut because Leo had already woken up from his unconscious state. Evie began to panic because she knew what will coming next. She quickly got closer to Alex and kissed him. Alex closed his eyes and enjoyed the brief sweetness and warm from her lips.“I love you..” She whispered softly. A tear slipped from her beautiful eyes. Alex frowned looking at her tears. He wiped her wet cheeks and coo her with sweet words to calm her down. He felt more pain seeing her crying than all the wounded he got from here.“Baby… My sweet baby, please don’t c
Evangeline’s POV I took my umteenth deep breath as my nervousness was not going to leave me anytime soon. I squeezed the flower bouquet in my hands lightly. Sometimes I inhaled the soft, fresh smell from the roses and it did relax me a little. The veil on my head still covered my face, I hoped no one can obviously see my tense expression. What if I ruin everything? Will I walk normally in these ridiculously high heels? Do I look pretty? Why this dress tail is so long?! I cleared my throat and straighten my back as I was facing the door to the wedding hall. “Are you okay, dear?” Grandpa called me and he was already standing by my side. I forced a wide smile as if nothing happen. “Yeah, I’m fine, Grandpa… No, I’m not..” I gave up a second later. “What’s bothering you, my dear? Everything’s gonna be alright…” He assured me. “Well… I am too nervous. What if I ruin my walk or fell down on the floor it will be embarrassing!” My anxiety consumed me too much this time. To my surpris
Evangeline’s POV Four days from our wedding ceremony. I was so surprised when he said that. But Alex is Alex, I couldn’t do anything about his plan. I also didn’t find any harm in that plan, so I went through with it. I already chose my wedding dress. Alex invited the best wedding dress in this country to the mansion. Along with my makeup stylist and all. I was overwhelmed by all the preparation. But I was also thankful because Alex made everything ready beforehand so my job was only to choose it to my liking. I called my family. They were surprised but also happy for me. The mansion is already busy the moment I got here, now I finally understand it was because Alex already told them to prepare everything. Today, the preparation is almost one hundred, I just need my beauty care, spa, and anything else to prepare myself mentally. But now, I was sitting in a car, waiting for Alex to invite me inside the house. This was one of the farmhouses Alex owned. It has beautiful scenery I
Evie was already a moaning mess. Her hands grabbed the white sheet beside her head tightly as she was enduring the tingles and tickles all over her body. It was never meant to be like this so quickly. She still had so many questions for him. But she was a little too carried away by the situation. She missed him, his touch, his body pressed so tightly onto her, his tongue that will explore all over her skin. Evie didn’t know when Alex take off her nighties. She was already naked, bare as a newborn baby, and so was he. Meanwhile, Alex was busy devouring the poor little cherry on top of her soft breasts. “Hmm…” She sighed as the man greedily sucked her nipple and let it out with a loud pop. “Baby, they are so sweet. I could suck on them all day.” He licked her repeatedly then put it inside his mouth and sucked the poor nips like he was milking her. Meanwhile, his hands massaged and squeezed her breast like some dough. He loves playing with her large, soft, creamy boobs. “Ah…” Al
Alexander's POV"I know, I lied to you. I'm sorry..." The guilt I felt for the things I hide from her was obvious.I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer even though she was already so close to me.The idea of her immediately hating me for this haunted me and made me tighten my grip on her little waist. Though I was still careful enough not to hurt her."Alex... Will you let him go?"Her little voice came into my ears like a melody and sighed looking at her innocent angelic face."No." I answered her.We stared at each other like this while in my wicked mind, asked the question how could I be so lucky to have this little angel in my arms."Then... Why are you keeping him this whole time?" She whispered, her eyebrows knitted as she was asking me this question.I caressed her soft cheek with my thumb. She is so delicate and fragile. So fucking innocent that I didn't have the heart to say things what had I done with that bastard."Baby, I don't think you want to hear that...""Please
Evangeline’s POV Humming to my favorite song as I fold mine and Alex’s clothes were my daily routine now. Alex did tell me that I didn’t have to do anything here but that will be so boring. He also assign a personal maid for me which I thought was not necessary at all. So, I often just ask her to do her job with her other friends. There is nothing she could do for me. I don’t really have that much to do so, mostly I would just clean the bedroom myself or read some books. The maids and Lee were surprised when I asked them where the cleaning tools were and told them I wanted to clean the master bedroom myself. They seemed afraid, which I guess to Alex, and told me politely repeatedly that was their job to do. Alex asked me about it and I told him, I don’t want anyone to enter our bedroom. It’s my privacy and his. So, I want the one who can enter this room to be either me or Alex. He agreed, with so many conditions on it. If I am tired, I don’t have to do it. If I feel not well, I d
“I told you to get on the ship.”Harry Gillard spoke with his eyes staring nowhere. The tone was showing no emotion left in him.He was helpless.“Then what? Leave you behind?” Leo snickered looking at him.Harry was changing their plan on their way to the airport. He dropped Leo in the harbor and told him to go with one of the commerce ships. Using their private property will be too obvious.In this plan, Leo will go on board by ship and Harry by plane. They will meet overseas and start a new life there. It will not be easy. But they need to try.But here they were now, sitting on the seat of a moving car truck with both of their hands cuffed on their back and facing each other.Roger and his men found them when they were hiding and bickering at the harbor.No matter what, Leo will never leave his uncle behind.“This is my end. Kill him for me.” Leo sighed and closed his eyes.Obviously. He lost this game. But he didn’t die yet. Maybe he still got a little chance to crush his dear br
Alexander’s POV I pressed my lips onto hers a little bit longer this time. Brushing her soft lips slowly before smooching them repeatedly. God, I miss her so much. “Baby, wake up soon. I miss you.” I whisper against her cheek. She was not as pale as I saw her a few hours ago. But she was still so weak. We were not in that damn house anymore. We were here in the mansion. After her condition was stable, I asked Lee to prepare the helicopter and brought her out of there. We left the wooden house. I told some of my men to stay there but not to do anything with it. Because I already have a great plan for my so-called bastard brother. I looked at my Evie again. She must be through so much and all of these were my fault. I was the one who brought her with all of this mess. She is so innocent, my angel is so pure. She didn’t deserve any of this. I brushed her hair away from her beautiful face. Run my finger on the soft pale skin on her cheek, to her chin, neck, shoulder, hand… Not onl
“What?” The doctors panic and quickly stepped closer.But then, the other nurse who was calmer with the situation placed her two fingers on Evie’s neck to check her pulse.“Wait… It’s there, but it’s so faint I can’t barely feel it.” She said, looking at her colleagues.All of them sighed in relief but then quickly move to save the young lady who laying almost lifelessly on the bed.Thirty minutes later, Alexander made it to the wooden house. The poor, frightened man drove the car at unbelievably high speed. He couldn’t stop trembling even though they already arrived at their destination. The feeling when the gun pressed on the side of his head was there until now.Alex got out of the car as soon as the car stopped.“Evie!” He screamed, calling out to her.Everyone was in relieve when he saw him finally come. But then, the tension came back as they couldn’t imagine what will Alexander do when he saw her current condition.“Evie!” He barked into the house.John rushed to him and tried
“Uncle Harry?” Leo looked at him, frowning. But soon, he smiled and acted like he was doing something content to his liking. “Look! I’ve told you before, I save her.” He pointed at the paled, fragile girl on the bed. Harry run towards the bed and in a nervous state checklist if she was still breathing. Fortunately, she was breathing, but it was too weak that he almost thought that she died already. Harry sighed in relief but soon he stood straight and glared at Leo who was still smiling and humming, caressing the girl’s head so lovingly. Harry cursed lowly and grabbed his nephew's arm tightly. “We need to get out of here, now!” He yelled at him impatiently. “What? Why?” Leo frowned. He was still standing in his place and didn’t move a bit from his uncle pulling. “For God's sake, Leo! What is going on inside your mind now?! Stop making it like all this is fine! You are in trouble, I am in trouble! If we don’t go now, we die here!” Harry was panting. He still remembers the wa
