Part 1
"Nick! You come inside right now, or I'll not hesitate to throw your kids from the balcony!" Evelyn screamed.
Nicholas gave a tired sigh, looking at Mark and Oliver who were chuckling at him. Throwing a glare at them, he went inside to check on his wife. 'What did they do now?' He thought.
"In the kitchen!" she called out to him.
"What-" Once he entered, he saw the floor covered with flour and his kids bathed with it.
"Do you still have to ask me what's happened?" She said pointing at the two.
"I din do ith. Ith was all her." His son answered brilliantly pointing at his elder sister. Though he still had to work on his pronunciation, the boy was already on his father's footsteps.
"The idea wasn't mine either." His daughter replied still playing with the flour.
He looked at his wife who was now sitting on the kitchen counter staring at him.
"Mommy is over reacting, Daddy." His daughter chuckled.
Part 2 Caroline and I continued to chitchat, still waiting for our husbands while I saw someone arriving from the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a tiny girl’s chubby hands dangling while she slept. That’s definitely Chrissy’s daughter. "Chrissy...? Weren't you supposed to come tomorrow?" "Should I come back tomorrow?" She asked. I fake glared at her and gave her a hug, which was impossible with my pregnant belly and her carrying Jane, her daughter. She handed me a bottle of wine and started giggling to herself. "Aww... you can’t have wine can you baby? " At my frown she mellowed down. "Ok.. ok.. I actually wanted to remind you about tax filing.. other than that your restaurant is doing really well." "Yeah I know, I remember, how's Jane though?" I pointed to her daughter now sleeping peacefully in her arms. "Is she okay going to school now? No tantrums?" I asked. "Yep, she's doing okay, but she misses her 'daddy' a lot and I don't know what to say every time she questions me abou

I've had enough! All you want is your son, other than that you don't find happiness in anything. I'm just so done with you.""Why? Why should I? All you do is sit at home and enjoy your father's money. You just want to go to some university in NYC, against all our wishes for what? Just to sit at home like this or to live with your Dad's money like always?" My said bitterly, like
Current timeEvelyn's POV"Hey Carr.. come on girl cheer up!" I said to my best friend. Uncle Roger died in a mysterious accident. I don't know how. Of course, we all know that it's not just an accident. But then it's been a month. She was the one who brought me out of that shitty life. It's my duty to bring her back to life. Why does God have to do this to all good people.She has always been the lonely girl since that guy left her and now this. I seriously don't know how aunt Sophie is coping with it. After I ran away from home, I came straight to Carr's house hoping that she'd help me. We both got into the same business schools together. Of course, it was Uncle Roger who helped me through out. I have a house now all because of this family. And now that they don't have one, they don't want to stay in this house. It's not mine but their house. I agree I paid for my university myself, had to take up multiple jobs but without the
Evelyn's POVShit! Yupp... that's my first word! That's my first word after I saw Nick's text for the umpteenth time on my cell. First, he gave me a missed call and I foolishly let him know that it's me. I never told him my name. How the hell did he even find out. And then call after call. And here I'm trying to solve Carr's problem. God! She met with this asshole's friend and he got her to sign some stupid papers. Such a cheat! No.. poor guy. Why should I blame him? This woman didn't even take a look at it.'Meet me at the Barista near your house sweetie. Otherwise..... I already know where you live ;-) 'WTF! That's just pure invasion of my privacy. This man is going to get it from me. When he was supposed to marry me, he just pushed me away with his hurtful words and now he wants me back! I can't even remind him of the past.I was busy typing a reply when I heard Carr scream "KATHERINE!" Obviously annoyed by my lack of interes
Evelyn's POV"Oh yes! I forgot. Will you marry me?" He asked.What the.....?"I'm sorry what?" I asked. I think I misheard."You heard me right. Will you marry me?" Man! Has he gone crazy?"What in the hell possessed you to say that?!" I asked with disbelief. Is he for real?"Look just hear me out. Come on you can't just reject me right away" he said with puppy dog eyes! Doesn't suit him."But you did" I seriously didn't mean to say it out so loud."What?" He asked as I got him confused. Silly me! He doesn't remember me. Well I'm sure not even my parents would recognize me with the way I look now. Actually..... he might recognize but definitely not my parents."Hmph.... whatever! Nothing you say will make me agree to this shit you're trying to convince me about" I said rolling my eyes."I said just hear me out. For once!" He said almost on the verge of pleading. I didn't say anything, but I just s
Evelyn's POV"You do know how to be right? How to behave, how to talk... I mean they are very particular about it... wait.. uhm... Linard.... you too are a Greek..." he said.Yes... he showed me videos and pictures of his parents. Their likes dislikes. Well I don't know why he hates them. Cause when I was young, and when they used to come to home, I felt like they were good people. And even now I feel that they're kinda cool.....And we did this for almost two weeks. He kept me in disguise for those days. Wait. What Greek?"Uhm.. yaa... why is that a problem?" I asked confused."No-no... actually it's great. Well my parents are traditional Greek. Soo... it's good that you are Greek too. It's not going to take much to convince them" he said pretty excited. What is he excited to marry me? Is he happy so much?This man sitting beside me is so damn hot! Why oh why! Yes, I've had my fair share of guys, but none have got the
Nicholas's POVShe just fooled me. Bitch! I thought she was different. Different! Damn! She's like a witch from a different world."Mom? Dad? What are you all doing here?" She asked clueless."It was me dear." My mom said excitedly clapping her hands together. "I recognized you the moment I saw you that day. Your parents were so worried when you ran away five years back. We thought we scared you with the marriage proposal, so you ran away. But now everything's fine. You and my son have fallen in love. Finally! Our dreams have come true. We don't have to change our plans now. Me and Elena are so going to enjoy shopping for the wedding" My mom started rambling."Mom there's not going to be a wedding anytime soon" I interrupted."What?" My mom asked with a shocked face. But she was trying to be hopeful. Nope... I'm not going to cancel the marriage. I will go through this marriage with the same cunning women. "Oh my God" I heard my Mom
Evelyn's POV"Hey! Nick here. Come down." I heard Nick."I'm sorry what? You call me and-" I wanted to give him a nice tongue lash but he had to interrupt."Mom and Elena are here with me. And they were hoping to go wedding shopping" he said in a bored tone."What?" I screamed and got up from my bed."When is our wedding?" I asked annoyed that he might have already chosen a date just as a part of his revenge."I have no idea. You should ask them. And get ready. We'll be there soon." He said."What?!" And he cut the call....This man is getting on my nerves. I'm damn sure he would've suggested. And it's going to take 15 minutes for him to arrive here. But I need at least one and a half hour to get ready.Huh! I'm going to take my own time. I don't care what they think. I'm not the old Ev to get ready in 5minutes. Glasses and a lip balm. Now it's time to show them what I am.I got into the showe
