Thank you for reading
Four years later. “I passed the bar!” Evelyn exclaimed the moment the call went through. “Wow. Congratulations kitten. You deserve it.” Damian’s equally elated voice echoed through the phone. Evelyn had completed her studies a while ago and had to sit for bar exams for her to become a lawyer. The following weeks had been difficult for her because she was worried about her results. It was not easy for one to pass the bar. Evelyn made sure she studied hard and with the help of her husband, she was able to understand most of the cases. Although the exam hit her hard as it was harder than expected. This was why seeing her name on the list of those who made it made her feel emotional. She never thought she would pass the bar on the first try. When she thought about how far she had come, tears couldn’t help but sting her eyes. “I’m so happy Damian. I can’t believe it. It’s a dream come true.” “You worked hard my love. You just got what you worked for. I am happy for you. We shou
Several months later after Nina and Jack’s wedding, Damian held a party for Evelyn to celebrate their fifth anniversary. Unlike their wedding, this event was grand. Damian had decided to introduce his heir, Aiden Hill, the future Mafia boss of his empire. The Country was a much safer place with most of his enemies behind bars and the streets were clean of drugs. Not entirely though but now, he had many on his side fighting for a drug-free Country to protect their loved ones. Evelyn was dolled up in a silver off-the-shoulder gown that was fitted up to the knees then the rest of the gown was flared, touching the ground. The neckline had diamond details with a plunging slit in the middle, showing a little cleavage. Her curves were hugged perfectly by the dress, painting a picture of poise and grace. As for her strawberry blond hair, it was raised up into an elegant updo held together by diamond clips that sparkled when she moved. The simple makeup she put on her face accentuated h
A round of applause erupted from the crowd in the hall when the students on the platform took off their graduation caps and raised them up in the air. A sign it was finally over. “Can you believe it? We are graduates!” Nina squeaked sharply in Evelyn’s ear, making her cringe. She smiled at Nina, fighting the urge to dip her pinky into her ear and rub the itch off. “Yes… I’m glad we both reached this far.” Evelyn beamed, grabbing Nina’s hand and leading her out of the hall. “We did it! We did it!” Nina jumped in excitement and Evelyn couldn’t help but smile… her best friend’s enthusiasm was contagious. “Congratulations Miss Nina… you worked hard!” She said dramatically, bowing slightly, making Nina giggle. They took off their hired gowns and dropped them off at the college administration. Evelyn sighed, taking a look around the campus. This had been her favorite place for the past four years and even though she is very happy to graduate, she will miss it. “So, now that scho
Evelyn trembled in fear, looking around the tiny smelly room she was kept in. ‘What are they going to do to me?’From the peeks she stole as they rushed her in from outside, she was in the basement of a nightclub – a place she had never been to, and never had the intention to go to ever.“Keep her here so we can have a little fun ourselves later,” the man who was in charge of the little group laughed, showing his yellow teeth, “the boss cannot know about this, understand?”Damian had one rule, no harm to women or children.“We are in deep shit if the boss finds out…” The little guy hesitated. He looked nervous.“No harm is done if the boss doesn’t know,” The leader smirked in a dangerous tone, “right?”The guys around him nodded quickly.‘The boss doesn’t check this basement. I’ve sneaked in a few toys occasionally so he wouldn’t know of this one too.’ “Mmmm,” Evelyn groaned when she was suddenly dropped to the ground harshly. “W-what are you going to do to me?” She asked nervously,
“That’s right,” Evelyn took a deep breath before she took his hand, a tingle shot through her body at the touch like lightning and made her shiver, “please, can you help me?”The man curved his lips, his deep blue eyes nailed into hers.“I don’t see how I can not,” His husky voice lured Evelyn’s mind away from all the fear and horror, “miss-?”“Evelyn,” Evelyn blurted quickly, “You can call me Evelyn.”“Evelyn,” The man took her offer with a polite smile, and hearing her own name roll off his tongue with that deep voice gave her an unexpected blush, “please give me a minute.”Evelyn nodded, still lost in his gaze that she forgot to let go of his hand. The man let out a little chuckle but he didn’t let go of her hand, instead, he turned around and snapped his finger at the hallway, and a few men charged into the room at his summon.“Get to the bottom of this.” The man tilted his head at the table, his voice suddenly all cold and sharp, “I want to know where the drugs came from and who
"Boss." Titus, who had just been arrogant to Evelyn in the basement, looked so pale now. His eyes were full of prayer and Evelyn realized she was right. These little bastards are afraid of Damian. No women, no kids, that was Damian’s code. "Do you know the girl?" The dark-haired man asked him in a cold tone. Titus turned his attention from the polite man to the black-haired man when he heard the question. When he glanced at Evelyn, his eyes became fierce suddenly and then he pretended as if nothing had happened when he looked back at the dark-haired man. Evelyn, however, did not miss that even though it was only for a split second. So did the polite man. He narrowed his eyes and returned to his true nature soon when he saw the change in Titus’ expression. "I- I don't know her." Titus said in a trembling tone. "Liar!" Evelyn was so angry, why was he so sophistry? "If you think you can be ok by pretending not to know me, you are totally wrong." Evelyn looked like an enrage
Damian’s smile alerted Evelyn. She shrank back and narrowed her eyes at Damian. And the kitten-like action teased Damian once again. "You insist that your cousin doesn't owe me any money, right? So what if I prove that he really owes it?" Damian cocked his eyebrows and asked.He is a notorious, ruthless mafia. She is so stupid to bet with this kind of person who wins and will not admit it! "I'm a good girl, so I'm going to stay away from gambling." Evelyn rolled her eyes, rejecting his proposal outright."I think you know you are wrong, and that’s why you don’t dare to..." Damian looked at Evelyn, his eyes were full of mockery."I am not that kind of person!" Evelyn snorted, "I just worry you won't keep to your promise if you lose! I am a reasonable person, and I stick to logic.""Reasonable? That works, too." Damian sat up straight, his hands on the table with a serious negotiation look, "So it is natural to pay off debts, right?" "Of course," Evelyn nodded, smiling unblinkingl
Damian squinted his eyes at Evelyn’s uncle in silent warning. He didn’t like seeing the little kitten upset. It was evident that she was just learning of her family’s true nature at the moment. The tears in her eyes irked him. Evelyn clenched her hand into a tight fist. She couldn’t believe what was happening. Was her uncle about to say they used her money and didn’t inform her for no reason? ‘I thought they were sincere, yet they only cared about my parent’s money.’ “There’s no money so how will we pay for the debt?” She asked as she looked at her relatives. Her heart was aching from their betrayal but she couldn’t forget the fact that they were still in the mafia’s territory and they still had to pay back his money. Seeing that they didn’t answer, Evelyn sighed in disappointment. They caused the problem but yet they offered no solution. “I put up the house as collateral. You can get the title deeds while we look for money to pay back the debt.” She said, now turning to f
