"Yes?" Evelyn asked, seeing a beautiful tall girl dressed in a mini black dress smiling widely at her."I'm Sofia. I'm a model. I've worked for Mr. Knight's agency a couple of times. I was looking forward to meeting you," Sofia said.Evelyn didn't know that he was also running an agency. How many businesses did he do? "Nice to meet you, Sofia. You are very pretty." Evelyn said genuinely. She was tall, slim, and gorgeous. Sofia chuckled dryly. "I know," She laughed and Evelyn's smile dropped a little at the hint of attitude in her voice."Can I ask you something?" She asked as Evelyn gave her a nod."What did you do to trap the best rich bachelor in town?" Sofia asked and Evelyn's brows shot up."Excuse me?" Evelyn asked softly. She was completely muddled."Axel is a self-made billionaire with looks and power and what do you have? Nothing. You're not even beautiful. You must've had a good trick up your sleeve to lure him?" She asked with a raised brow and Evelyn's heart churned at he

Axel couldn't sleep properly and nor was he able to focus on work in his office. His mind was clouded by Evelyn. He was barbaric to her but did she deserve it in the first place? She might not even know what her brother has done. "So, how did the event go?" Daniel asked. He had observed that Axel seemed tense and the stone-cold man wouldn't talk on his own, which left him with no choice but to get it out of him. "Fine," Axel muttered. "I don't understand why you married that girl?" Daniel muttered as Axel glanced at him once before focusing back on the file in his hand. "To punish her brother," He said nonchalantly. "But you are hurting her as well," Daniel said and Axel paused. "She seemed so innocent and timid. I can almost bet that she has no hand in whatever happened," Daniel put forward his thoughts as Axel inhaled deeply. "I know," He muttered, restlessly. Her teary face flashed in front of his eyes and he felt like hurting someone. Grabbing his phone and keys he got

Evelyn made a blind dash into the woods. She wasn't even wearing any shoes but could care less. The sharp edges of the small rocks and the branches tore her skin and ruined her soles but she wasn't feeling any pain.All she could feel was the sheer amount of terror that enveloped her soul. At that moment she just wanted to run away from hell and the monster who was hell-bent on giving her pain. She just wanted to see her brother, she even told Axel to let her see him from afar and yet being a cruel monster he declined her.He left her no choice. She felt her mind would explode if she stayed in that cage even for a second. Evelyn heard a low growl from behind her and her heart churned in her ribcage as she fastened her pace.The rustling of the leaves under her feet was the only indication of life in the dark woods. The only source of light was the moonlight that made its way through the huge trees and fell on the floor in scattered pieces. She didn't know where she was going. She did

She couldn't sleep the whole night and kept weeping silently on the window sofa gazing out of the glass at the dark inky sky.He didn't warn her not to escape because he might already know she won't try again. After all, it was useless.Her heart was in pain and her mind was in chaos. She felt claustrophobic.The next day she stayed in her room. Parco was the one who brought her dinner at night. Despite her rejection, he didn't leave her room until she had at least half of the soup. Though the man didn't know what she was going through yet he could see her turmoil as he told her that everything would get better before he left her alone.Everything would get better? How? When? She didn't know. She just wanted to breathe. Evelyn left her room and made her way to the backyard. The cool breeze had her shivering. Her eyes fell on the pool lit with dim lights as she made her way to it.She didn't know what got into her mind as she stepped into the pool and with each of her steps into the

"Evelyn," He said again but she placed her hand on his mouth shutting him up."Master, let me talk or my mind would explode," She said in a slurry tone. Her body swayed left as he wrapped his arms around her waist and let her speak."I...I've never dated anyone and w...when you approached me. I...I was excited. I wanted to give our chemistry a chance and a...also you appeared like Knight in a shining armor when those thugs were after me. Y...you saved me, Axel. You were my angel," She whispered, moving her hand from his mouth and caressing his cheek, her thumb stroking his eyebrow.His heart was pounding wildly as he stared into her beautiful brown hues that were glossy."A...and then one day my brother was missing. Scary thugs abducted me and dropped me at your feet. Then it came to my knowledge that my Knight in shining armor was hell-bent on killing my brother for an unknown reason and just to hurt Josh more, you wanted to marry me," Suddenly her voice became louder as she gripped
