Chapter 11 - Everything is Wrong

-Eve-I am not sure what the hell was going on inside Vincent’s head. I know that he had saved me several times and I have to admit that I was the first one who pretended that he was my boyfriend but doing it for a long time is not my thing. Although I can’t say that I wasn’t tempted by his monetary offer. I don’t even know why he asked me when he could just ask any other girls. I know that they will be so willing to do it and they would even do it for free.“Why?” Vincent asked confusion filling his face.“I don’t know how to lie,” I lied. Seriously? I berated myself. I keep telling myself that I am not a liar even though it surprises me that I find myself lying almost all the time. I watched as Vincent’s brow rose, disbelieving me. “Okay,” I said as I raised both my hands. “I know I have lied several times but those are just white lies. What you’re asking of me is a long-term thing and I can’t do that. Not to mention that we need to fool your grandmother. Trust me, I am not a goo

Chapter 12 - Vincie… Vince….

-Vincent-I was in the meeting when Natalie called and told me about what happened to Evelyn’s grandmother. It was a good thing that I asked Carl to go back to the office to pick up some things that I needed for the next meeting. But once Carl gave me an update and her hunch as to what had happened to Evelyn’s grandmother, I decided to reschedule my meeting and let Carl focus on assisting Evelyn. “The doctors advised to keep Miss Anderson’s grandmother for the night to make sure that they didn’t miss anything,” Carl reported. I was glad that Evelyn’s grandmother was fine and that it was nothing serious, but what concerned me was what Carl found out. It seems that Evelyn’s grandmother was scammed. “Make sure to find out what exactly happened,” I told Carl, and I even asked him to make sure that everything that Evelyn and her grandmother needed had been taken care of. My phone rang as soon as I hung up with Carl, I immediately answered thinking it was Evelyn only to be disappointed

Chapter 13 - Deal…

-Vincent-“Is your proposal still open?” She asked and the sound of desperation filled her voice. “Come in,” I said as I stepped aside for her to enter.She walked in but stayed just by the door as she crumpled and uncrumpled her hands as if she was not sure if she was doing the right thing or not. “Are you okay?” I asked, trying to check if she would change her mind or not. “Yes,” she whispered. I closed the door and led her to the living room.“Are you just going to stand there or are you telling me the purpose of this visit?”I watch her scurry towards the couch opposite mine and I can tell with the way her body moves that she’s here not because she wanted to but because she had no choice and I can’t say I am not disappointed by it. “Is your proposal still open?” She asked once again but the way she said it this time made me realize that whatever uncertainty she was battling earlier had now disappeared. “Yes,” I replied and I heard a sigh of relief. “Okay,” She said as she co

Chapter 14 - Deal…

-Eve-I was a nervous wreck as I got home. I didn’t expect that Vincent would agree with everything, but he did. He fucking did. I replayed what had happened just an hour ago over and over to see if there was something that I had missed. “So,” I said as I looked at him with a smile, “What do we do now, babe?”I watched as his lips quirked up in a smile as he said, “Aren’t we in a rush, babe.” “I guess, I just want to make sure that things go smoothly,” I answered honestly. “Oh, don’t worry about a thing, because it would,” he replied teasing me once again. “For tonight, go home and rest because you will be very busy starting tomorrow.”“Busy?” I asked in confusion. Not sure if he would give me so many tasks as his executive assistant. “Yup,” he said as he stood from his seat. “Don’t come to work tomorrow. Carl will pick you up at ten in the morning.” I took that as a queue to leave. He led me to the door where one of his cars and Carl was waiting outside for me. Carl opened the

Chapter 15 - Serendipity

-Eve-My deal with Vincent felt so easy. Well, it is easy.All I have to do is play the role that Vincent asked me to and that’s it. But why does a part of me feel uneasy about it? That’s the power of money. It makes you do things out of the ordinary and justify your action with something like, ‘I have no choice but to do it.’ So even though I felt uneasy, I pushed it back and repeated the same mantra I had been repeating all my life, ‘It’s okay, I have no other choice.’Still, I don’t really have the choice to be choosy right now, especially since Vincent has already made a payment. “Where are we going?” I asked as I noticed that Carl didn’t go in the direction of Vincent’s office. “Creating your life,” Vincent replied.“What do you mean by that?” I asked in confusion. “I need my grandmother to think that you’re my prospect for marriage. To ensure that, I need to make sure that you would be able to fit the checklist she has.”“It’s not part of our agreement,” I blurted and he smil

Chapter 16 - Game ON!

-Eve-It took some time before the bookshop was done. And things had been pretty hectic since then. Vincent enrolled me in several classes that he thought would help me in performing my role well. Aside from my classes, Vincent and I continuously practice how to interact with each other to make sure that we won’t look awkward in front of everyone.It’s been weeks since the last time I saw him. He told me to finish what I needed to finish before our show officially began. He also told me to start letting my grandmother know that I have a new boyfriend because he doesn’t want to surprise her.I also went ahead and made sure that there weren’t any loose ends and no one would bother me and my grandmother again. So I went to the office after I got the money from Vincent to pay for the title of our house only to find out that the police had raided the office and returned all the titles to their respective owners.A part of me wanted to ask Vincent if he has something to do with it, but don’t

Chapter 17 - My Pretty Little Devil

-Vincent-Finally, the day that I had been preparing for has arrived. “Your grandmother called, sir,” Carl said pulling me back to the present. “What does she want now?” I asked with a sigh. Since I had slipped about having a girlfriend to stop her from setting me up with blind dates, she never stopped asking me to meet Evelyn. Leading me to make the first mistake I had ever made in my entire life. “We are having our annual charity ball this year,” she said yesterday morning. “I am expecting your girlfriend to be there or I’ll start setting you up for blind dates again.”I hate to admit that I forgot about the charity ball. Which left me with no choice. If my grandmother wants to know Evelyn, then she will know who Evelyn is. But on my own terms. “You’re grandmother wanted you to know that if you didn’t bring your so-called girlfriend, she will start matching you on the event tonight. And if you decide to bail, she will strip your title as CEO of Dreamweaver for fun,” Carl recit

Chapter 18 - The First Time I was Scared for My Life…

-Eve-I have never been invited to an event with more than ten participants.And as much as I hate going to big events I really have no choice about this since it’s part of my agreement with Vincent. “We’re here, Ms. Anderson,” Carl announced as he stopped by the entrance and ran out to open the door for me. As I got out of the car I realized where we were, it was one of the famous hotels in the city. Carl led me inside and I followed him. He stopped in front of a double-door room with two men guarding the entrance. “She is Mr. Beckett’s girlfriend,” Carl explained to the two guards. “The program just started,” one of the guards explained as they looked at me, making me feel unwelcome.“I don’t think you would want to know what would happen once Mr. Beckett finds out that you didn’t let his girlfriend enter the premises.”I wanted to pull Carl away and tell him to just tell Vincent that we’re here and that I’ll just wait outside until the program ends. But the look that Carl has o

Chapter 19 - The Test

-Vincent-If there was one thing Evelyn was very good at, it was studying.She is so good but still, I will always be better.I watched her interact with my friends and I can’t help but be proud of what she had become. One look at Emmet and Garrett I already know that they want to get a piece of her. Who wouldn’t when she looked so beautiful in the silver silk gown that she was wearing? I watched the way the two of them looked at her and for the first time, I felt the urge to let them know that no one touches her but me. I placed my arm behind her chair and intentionally moved her closer to me. Tony watched me silently but never said a word. One of the many things that I like about him.“I have eyes Vincent and one thing I can’t deny is that she is indeed good-looking,” Garrett said as he loosened the tie that he was wearing. A gesture I know so well. “Oh I know,” I replied, “I just want you to remember that she’s mine.”Both Emmet and Garrett looked at me. I know that my reply surp

Chapter 20 - The Beginning

-Eve-I waited until we were inside Vincent’s car, trying my best not to let my knees buckle underneath me as I tried to comprehend exactly what had just happened. “What the hell?” I said screaming, surprising not only Vincent but also Carl who was now in the driver's seat. “Why did you do that?” I asked in a calmer voice this time.“I never knew my grandmother would stoop that low,” Vincent admitted. “Why don’t you just go back inside and ask for an apology?” I asked. I would really hate it if one of the richest women in the world hates me so much. “No!” Vincent snapped, his face unreadable. “Just do what you were paid to do.” I was about to retort something rude back at him but decided that this was not the right time. “Where to, Mr. Beckett?” Carl asked. “Let’s take Miss Anderson home first,” Vincent said. The drive home was uncomfortably silent. But none of us said anything. When we reached my house, Vincent was the one who opened the door for me and helped me out. I was
