When The Wrong One Loves You Right NINETEEN
"JASON!" NORA loose a squeal of excitement and ran towards him the moment she noticed him walking into the hallway. Jason lifted her into his arms and hurled her up in the air which made her squeal more in excitement. "Hiya, kiddo!" He said in his best cowboy accent trying to imitate Ray from Nora's favorite kid's show "Treasure Hunt With Ray". That was their little ritual. Nora giggled. " Hiya, Jason!" She replied, planting a moist kiss on his cheek. "Why haven't you been around for a while now?" She pouted her bottom lip. "Don't you miss me?" "Of course I miss you, little princess" he said smoothing out her hair that had been ruffled up from hurling her in the air. "I've been really busy lately. Here's a peace offering." He took a little pink backpack— designed to look like a unicorn— off his right shoulder. "Wow! Unicorn!" She grabbed it from him. "Thank you!" "Where's daddy?" Jason asked striding towards Brad's bedroom. Nora flickered her little foref

EVELYN AWOKE the next day to find the bed empty and Jason had disappeared. It had been quite chaotic last night deciding on who will take the bed and who will take the coach. After minutes of controversy, they had both agreed to sleep at the far ends of the king-size bed. Evelyn had added more spice to it by building a barricade of pillows cutting off his own half from hers. The barricade of pillows which were scattered all over the bed. Evelyn grabbed her phone from the bedside table and slide it into her pocket as she pulled herself up. She came to a halt at midway. For some unexplainable reasons, she felt a sudden pang of starvation hit her. Hard. She groaned, gripping her stomach, and made a beeline for the kitchen to make herself a quick breakfast. On getting there, she found Diane sitting cross-legged in all her loftiness, leafing through a fashion magazine as Flora, Jason's cook, made her a platter of what seemed like a Greek salad. WASN'T SHE THE ONE S

YOU KNOW YOU REMIND ME OF THIS GIRL. SHE WAS JUST AS LIKE YOU. SAME ATTITUDE, SAME LOWLINESS. BUT IT DIDN'T QUITE END WELL FOR HER... A FRIENDLY PIECE OF ADVICE, STAY AWAY FROM JASON BEFORE YOU REGRET IT TOO... Diane's words echoed in Evelyn's mind. They chased around her brain even now, later the next day as she prepared to go check out her new space. The rate at which orders for her clothes were flooding in, she needed a temporary space to work in and she also needed to hire someone to help, maybe two or three someones. A few weeks ago, Doris had contacted her to recommend a real estate agent her family knew and the woman named Rosa was a connoisseur who lived up to Doris' description of a go-getter who knew her business. However, the entire process took time. A couple of listings Rosa showed them were pretty good— not perfect, but adequate— and Evelyn could have been content with either of them. Though yesterday she had found the perfect space she wanted, she still

EVELYN MOANED stroking her throbbing temple. She had quite anticipated that reaction from her. "Jorge?!" Doris repeated her disbelief patent. "You're meeting with that prev? Are you kidding me?!" "Can you not yell?" Evelyn winced. "My head is throbbing." Doris took a deep breath and collected herself. "Sorry... but I'm struggling to figure out why you would meet up with that scumbag after what he did to you?" "From the way you sound someone would think he attempted to murder me," Evelyn murmured. "It's not like he inflicted any physical harm on me." Doris grimaced at that. "Oh? You're waiting for him to inflict physical harm on you before you avoid him? Since when are you in The Jorge's fan club." "I didn't say I was a fan, but the man's a brilliant PI and I really needed urgent info on Brad, okay? There wasn't anyone who could get it that fast." There was an extensive stillness as Doris scrutinize her friend squarely. "Just for the record, I'm totally aga

THERE WAS something up with Evelyn, Jason knew that for sure. She'd been awfully quiet the past couple of days which was entirely way out of her character. She'd never responded to any of Diane's contemptuous remarks and even when he had teased her she'd just ignored him too. Evelyn was like a ghost. Roaming around with not even the slightest sound. She never came out for breakfast which was quite weird because no one loved to eat as Evelyn does. Was she annoyed with him that he hadn't kept his promise of getting Diane a house as quickly as possible? She hadn't been much of herself lately. Her whole attitude had undergone a subtle change. Jason didn't believe it but he actually liked her better when she was been defiant and unruly. What was even extra weird was Evelyn and Julia seemed to be spending time together. He couldn't grasp the sudden friendship between them and when he had asked his PA about it, she had just brushed it off as ‘Girls' stuff’ and nothing

IN THE early hours of the following morning, Evelyn slid off the deserted bed. She felt better but a little sour and weak. Naturally, her slender feet carried her to the kitchen. She'd literally eaten nothing throughout the previous day, besides the occasional sips of lemonades and energetic drinks. The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs filled her nostrils as she got to the kitchen's doorway. They were her favorite and on a normal occasion, her appetite and palate would jump for joy at such aromatic deliciousness, but for some bizarre reasons, she felt disgusted looking at the meal. Evelyn wrinkled her nose and shifted her gaze to Jason and Diane. She noticed the awkward tension between them and the sense that the air temperature had slipped several degrees towards arctic. What is wrong with the both of them? "Good morning," Evelyn said as she emerged into the kitchen. When Jason's eyes met hers, there was some emotion in them she couldn't identify. Her heart

EVELYN WOKE the next morning with a not-so-nice feeling of queasiness. She moaned and swallowed quavering as the sensation grew acute when she tried to sit up. She fell back on the bed, but that didn't help. Neither did Jason's big arm landing over her belly. "Ugh... get off me, Jason." Jason sat up in bed, giving her a look of intense scrutiny. "Huh? What's the matter?" He frowned. Evelyn scowled at him. She felt terrible and he was adding to it. As she readied to unleash the beast of frustration right on him, nausea caught up with her at the same time. She almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time as she threw up. Jason's expression cleared immediately and he leaped out of the bed with entirely too much vigor when she lurched back. "Are you okay? You look pale. What exactly is wrong with you?" Evelyn glared at him and snapped, "If I knew would I..." She breathed in and said more calmly. "I'll use the shower first." She shuffled to the closet— which was l

EVELYN LOOKED up into the branches of the trees that lined the streets and focused on the pitch of the birdsong rather than the incessant voice of uncertainty that laced her mind. The house numbers at Rowan streets were mostly hidden behind elaborated railings but as Evelyn's gaze browsed the houses she spotted a luminous gold and white hand-painted sign attached to a stone gate pillar. ‘Rodriguez House’ That was definitely it! Evelyn inhaled sharply and turned towards the narrow terraced house. It didn't quite look different from the others from the outside. Two stories. Oxblood red brick with tall sash windows and stone window edges. In two strides she pushed open the black wrought metal gate and crunched her way up a brick and gravel path to a covered porch. The front door was painted in the same creamy white as the window frames and a pair of trees in bright painted pots delivered a splash of welcome green against the dark wood. Evelyn could hear the rhythm of

When The Wrong One Loves You Right EPILOGUE
"And the Grammy Award for Record of the Year goes to... Jason Lyndon for his hit song 'Hello, Lover!'" the announcer boomed into the microphone, as a huge cheer rose from the crowd. But there was no sign of Jason on stage. A moment of confusion passed through the crowd as they waited for the winner to accept the award. The announcer equally confused, gave another shot at calling him. But there was still no answer. Where was Jason Lyndon? He was just sitting amongst the other celebrities with his wife a few moments ago? Finally, Jason's current personal assistant, James Clarkson, looking dapper in his tuxedo, walked up to the microphone and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone," he said. "Jason Lyndon is unable to come up on stage right now. His wife has just gone into labor!" The crowd burst into whoops and applause, understanding the situation and happy for the new parents. While the crowd was still congratulating Jason, the PA spo

EVELYN'S HEART slammed painfully against her chest, as the lights dimmed and the first model walked down the runway. THIS WAS IT! This was the moment she had been waiting for all her life, the culmination of months of hard work and endless nights of toil to craft the best collection. Now, she was here in the Paris Fashion Week and her designs readied to be on display for the world to see. And she wasn't here alone. Her loved ones who'd been there for her through it all were here to witness this big win with her. As each model stepped onto the stage, wearing her creations, Evelyn's breath ceased and her heart thumped faster. She watched as the crowd gasped and murmured, their eyes drawn to the fabrics and the shapes that her designs created. It was like a dream come true. With each new design that appeared on the runway, Evelyn felt a surge of pride and happiness. Her vision was coming into existence, right before her eyes. She could see the intricate deta

IT WAS NOVEMBER 20TH AGAIN. The day The Rodriguez would never forget. The day they had lost Clarissa. The family had been unable to hold a memorial service for her since her death because they felt it would be a travesty to honor her while her killer walked free. It was too painful to commemorate her life when there was still so much left unresolved. It felt like admitting defeat, like giving up on justice. But even though they hadn't been able to properly honor her, they had never forgotten her. They still carried her memory in their hearts, and they knew that someday, they would come a year when they'll be proud to give her the memorial she deserved. As she looked out at the multitude gathered to honor the life of her sister, Evelyn felt a surge of emotion. She had never expected such a turnout and it brought tears of joy, sadness, and a sense of fulfillment. For a week straight, the words "We're sorry, Clarissa" and "Rest in peace, Clarissa" had been topping th

"WHOOAA!!!" LIVVIE exclaimed as she gaze around The Lyndons Manor living room. "I feel like I just died and went to an inventor's heaven." Evelyn was in awe too. In the corner of the living room, there was a massive holographic projector, which could display anything from a relaxing fireplace to a movie screen. The lighting could be shifted to suit any mood, from a cozy glow to a bright, energizing hue. A zero-gravity recliner that can massage the muscles and even heat up for added comfort. The Lyndon's Manor was truly a sight to behold. It was both futuristic and cutting-edge, while also exuding luxury and comfort. The interior was adorned with state-of-the-art gadgets, from self-cleaning floors to an AI-powered fridge that could order groceries and meal kits when it was running low. Every corner was designed to maximize productivity and efficiency, while also providing a space for ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. The decor was sleek and minimalist, with an emphasis on clean l

"JASON...?" Evelyn searched his pale and weak face as his eyes fluttered open and focused on her. When he saw her, a smile broke out on his face. "Hey!" Jason whispered, his voice hoarse from disuse. Evelyn's heart swelled with relief. "I was so worried about you," she said, her voice shaking. "Are you okay?" He reached up to brush her face but she took his hand in midway and squeezed it gently. "I think I'm okay now," he said. "You think?" Evelyn dropped his hand, abruptly. "You think...?" She began to beat his chest softly in feigning annoyance as Jason laughed and groaned weakly. "Do you know how worried I was? I thought I'd lost you. How could you scare me like that? How dare you try to die on me?" Evelyn said, still thumping his chest. "Aw! Evy..." Jason winced. "I'm a patient, remember?" "Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to hit hard," He rubbed the front of the blue and white striped hospital attire. "My chest hurt." Evelyn caressed his che

JASON DIDN'T care if the criminals were successfully disarmed by the cops, his priority was Evelyn. His heart was pounding in his chest, and his hands trembling as his eyes scanned the room for any sign of the woman he loved. Then he saw her. She was sitting on a metal chair, her hands bound to it. Her eyes were closed, her face was slightly bruised and her cloth bloodied. But she was still breathing, and he felt a rush of relief wash over him. He ran to her side, dropping to his knees and gently lifting her head, checking her body for any other sign of injury. "Are you okay?" He asked, his voice hoarse with emotion. "Ja--Jason! She did it. She--she killed Clarissa," Evelyn stuttered, her eyes unsteady. "She killed my sister." Jason nodded. "Shh! Shh! I know. I know," said softly, trying to free her from her bonds. "Get the keys to this damn thing." One of the uniform officers passed him the bunch of keys he found on the table while the rest fanned out, securi
When The Wrong One Loves You Right SIXTY-SEVEN
SEVEN YEARS AGO: THE DAY OF CLARISSA'S DEATH... Clarissa was disheartened and looked all ruffled up as she trudged reluctantly away from Jason's mansion. Like having that horrible fight with her little sister wasn't enough for one day, that lunatic Diane Smithson had to show up and launched her latest exhibition of obsession on her. But how had she found out about Olivia's biological father? Clarissa thought. Julia was the only person she'd told about this. No one else. Not even her family. She was already suspicious of Julia, especially after she'd found out about her background which Julia had so flawlessly lied about. She'd still given her the benefit of the doubt because probably she might have been ashamed of her past. But disclosing what she'd told her in confidentiality was not acceptable. Clarissa pulled out her phone in the intention of confronting Julia about it but her weak voice over the phone discouraged her. Instead of confronting her, she resulted to as

EVELYN INHALED, stirring groggily. Her eyes fluttered open as she slowly began to regain consciousness. Her vision was still blurred as she struggled to figure out how where she was. She was in a dimly lit room, the only light coming from a single bulb hanging from the ceiling. The room was bare, save for a few cardboard boxes and a single, metal chair that sat in front of her. She tried to sit straight, but a wave of dizziness and nausea hit her and she slumped back down. Her head throbbed, and as she raised her hand to reach for the back of her head, she realized that her wrists were chained to the arms of the metal chair she was sitting on and as her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she could see that her ankles were shackled to the legs of the chair. She winced as she strained her head, striving to remember how she had gotten here, then her memory came surging with maximum force. She began to call out, hoping someone would hear her and come to her aid. As she strugg
