Chapter 11
Before Evelyn would arrive, different thoughts flew into Drake's mind.Should I tell her about my predicament also?Should I behave normal to her?He had to test her first to see whether she can be trusted or not.So, he will show her his moron side."This face looks familiar," He said to Evelyn.Evelyn thought she would pretend not to know him, he was also behaving like the pervert he is now.Almost caging her in the wall, their first meeting he wanted to sit on her leg."Of course not, I don't know you," Evelyn replied."Alright" He replied and nodded slightly before sitting on the couch in the living room."Butler Jameson, I want to watch cartoons!" He whined, almost scaring Evelyn.Is he for real, a billionaire…. not a CEO as the internet states, begging the butler to help him put on a cartoon, Evelyn couldn't believe her ears.Butler Jameson rushed down hurriedly, he couldn't afford to offend their ill young master."Yes, master!" Butler Jameson replied with a bow."Help me with cartoons" He requested and Butler Jameson choked on nothing.Even though the young master is ill, how can he behave like this in front of his newly wed wife?"Master, you mustn't behave like this in front of your new wife" Butler Jameson whispered to him inaudibly but Evelyn still heard.He looks at Evelyn before looking at Butler Jameson."Is she?" He asked and Evelyn couldn't believe her ear.He was acting as if he wasn't the one who told his mum to get her married to him.Wasn't he on a business trip, Evelyn thought."But, I told Mrs. Valentino that I didn't want to get married, why would she bring a girl to my cartoon house?" Drake asked angrily.'So this is it, he also doesn't want to get married, but why did his mother say he likes her' Evelyn thought again."If you don't want to, you can tell your mum to cancel the marriage," Evelyn smile. This is a big opportunity to get out of this unwanted marriage.'So, she doesn't want to get married which means she was forced by mum' Drake thought."Should we go to her now?" Drake asked.Evelyn smiles cheerfully."Of course," She replied and Butler Jameson nodded negatively."Master, you can't, Madam wouldn't allow it."Butler Jameson holds Drake's leg but the duo chuckled and Evelyn looked at him.He is not different from the other day, he was just behaving like a kid she thought he was."I'm going nowhere, Mrs. Valentino boy already gave me an ice cream as a bribe for this marriage" Drake chuckled and Evelyn looked at the Butler.She does not understand what is happening, why is he behaving totally like a kid or an idiot."Evelyn, can you see me for a while" Butler Jameson mutters walking to the balcony, Evelyn follows quickly."Evelyn, the truth is our young master is suffering from an unknown illness, it once happened to his grandfather…."Butler Jameson stops to catch his breath and Evelyn urges him to go on."I'm listening, so what is the illness?" Evelyn asked impatiently."It is moron, he is a moron, he acts like a kid, the exact opposite of what he means… please keep this secret for the Valentino's family" Butler Jameson pleaded.Evelyn cleans her ear very well, why isn't she hearing clearly when she cleans her almost every day.'Getting me arranged to a moron was all their plan…. I don't need to make a fuss about this, it seems it's my victory, I don't want this marriage and getting me arranged to a moron is good, I will be the one to control him' Evelyn thought happily."No problem, I will keep the secret for the Valentino family because I'm now their daughter-in-law," Evelyn said, more like a gentle person.Butler Jameson couldn't believe his ears, she wasn't making a fuss, she was totally betrothed to a moron!She smiles at Butler Jameson and Butler Jameson smiles back awkwardly.Drake was hastenstly waiting for her to throw a tantrum, he was very aware that Butler Jameson wanted to discuss his predicament with her.But he doesn't hear any argument or disagreement, is this what he thinks it is.She is his mother's puppet, she is definitely, he is not going to fall into plan, definitely not him, the next thing is to be nice to her, to destroy their plan with his affection to her, to make her fall in love.Evelyn went back to the living room, she sat on the couch happily.Butler Jameson's phone made a sound and he brought it out of the pocket to check.It's a message from Johnny Mudrock, he quickly scrolls up to read it, he is afraid of the ugly guy in the devil form."What was her response?" Johnny Mudrock asked in the message."Pardon?" Butler Jameson replied back immediately, but didn't understand what he was asking."Young madam answer after you've told her about the young master predicament" Johnny Mudrock replied and Butler Jameson started to shiver.He is in deep trouble, they were told that no one must find out about the young master predicament not excluding their young madam.He just told the girl because she is quite good to them on her first day.She wasn't as arrogant as other rich heiresses used to be, she is the gentle, innocent and respectful type.Death is his wish, he is so doom.His hand trembles to reply."No, I didn't inform her," Butler Jameson replied to the message."Old man, did you have a death wish? The CCTV camera is right on the balcony. I just wanted to let you know that you are being watched," Johnny Mudrock replied.'The phone fell down from Butler Jameson, he was being watched, he has such a blabber mouth' he thought. Agnes, the cleaner, shows Evelyn the way to the couple's matrimonial room, the kitchen and every other place Evelyn needs to know.There are several wardrobes in the room and they contain all her belongings.She brought out pajamas, she cladded in one, No one can describe how excited Evelyn is, she fell on the matrimonial bed.Drake also enters the room to sleep on the same bed."Hey, new wifey can you shift I wanted to sleep" Drake mutters to Evelyn who occupied the whole bed.She spread her two without leaving any space."No moron, I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor, huh" Evelyn ordered sitting up on the bed.No, why will I?" Drake disagreed."If you don't then I will make your life a living hell, no more cartoons, no more ice cream" Evelyn replied and Drake quickly slept on the floor.This is what Evelyn likes, she can control him the way she likes.She has the bed all to himself, but she looks at him pitifully, the floor is so cold and he is shivering lightly."Hey!" Evelyn called and he looked up, his pajama's two buttons loosened, giving out the peak of his sexy pack.Evelyn looks away from his chest, he is a moron.Drake chuckles silently thinking she has started to be charmed by him.He intentionally loses all the buttons, so Evelyn throws the duvet at him."Cover your exposed body with the duvet and sleep" She mutters and Drake nodded negatively."I'm not feeling cold," Drake replied, trying to take off the pajamas pantEvelyn quickly turned her face to the other side."No, you don't need to take off the pants, the shirt is okay, now sleep so you can watch " Evelyn said and Drake wore back his pants.Evelyn decided to gist Amber a little since Amber is online on her social media."Hello, sis," Amber messaged."Yeah, guess what?" Evelyn asked."Alright, hmmm…. Maybe they've cut off your marriage with your betrothed" Amber replied immediately."Nope, you have your big head for nothing, it isn't" Evelyn replied and Amber replied with a crying emoji before messaging back."Maybe… your betrothed died in an accident" Amber replied and Evelyn imagined herself giving her a peck but she giggled loudly.Drake looks at her curiously, who is she chatting with to make her giggle like that, he thought."No, he didn't die in an accident but he is a moron" Evelyn replied."Moron as how, I don't get you" Amber retorted."I'm serious, I'm in his penthouse right now and I was told by their butler that he is a moron" Evelyn answered."And you believe that sis, have you seen him, did he show it in his character?" Amber asked."Of course, I clearly saw it with my own eyes, a grown up man crying because of cartoons," Evelyn messaged."But sis, didn't you tell me that your mother-in-law said he is on a business trip, something is wrong?" Amber asked."Yes, I was also surprised when I saw him," Evelyn replied.Chapter 95 Drake's eyes fixed on Evelyn's pale face, his mind racing with worry as they rushed her to the hospital. The ambulance sirens blared in his ears, but he barely registered the sound. His heart felt like it was being squeezed in a vise, threatening to burst from his chest.As they arrived at the hospital, Drake's anxiety reached a fever pitch. He paced back and forth in the waiting room, his eyes darting to the door every time it swung open. Mrs. Brown tried to comfort him, but he was beyond consolation."What's taking so long?" he muttered, his voice laced with frustration and fear. "She's been in there for hours. What if... what if something's wrong?"Mrs. Brown placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Drake, the doctor will come soon. Try to stay calm."But Drake couldn't calm down. His mind was a jumble of worst-case scenarios, his imagination running wild with fears for Evelyn's safety and well-being.Finally, the door sw
Chapter 94Drake's eyes never left Viola's face during the video call, but his mind was racing with a plan. He had already sent his secret agent, Alex, to the location Viola had specified, anticipating her demands.As soon as the call ended, Drake swiftly gathered the properties papers and headed out the door, his heart pounding with anticipation. He knew Alex would be in position, ready to strike.Drake arrived at the address, a dilapidated warehouse on the outskirts of town. He took a deep breath, his hand on the papers in his pocket, and stepped inside.The dimly lit space was eerily quiet, the only sound the creaking of old wooden beams. Drake's eyes scanned the area, his senses on high alert.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Viola. Her eyes gleamed with triumph, her smile twisted and cruel."Welcome, Drake," she sneered. "I see you brought the papers. How nice of you."Drake's eyes locked onto hers, his
Chapter 93Drake paced back and forth in his empty house, his mind racing with worry. He had tried every possible way to reach Evelyn, but she was nowhere to be found. He had called her phone, her friends, her family - no one had seen or heard from her.Desperate for answers, he had hired several private investigators to track her down. But so far, they had turned up nothing.The Valentino's mansion was in turmoil. The servants were frantically searching for their mistress, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.Drake's anxiety was palpable. He couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. He was consumed by the thought of Evelyn being in danger.He had tried to reach out to Viola, but she was nowhere to be found. He suspected she was behind Evelyn's disappearance, but he had no proof.As the hours ticked by, Drake's desperation grew. He knew he had to find Evelyn before it was too late. But where could she be? And who was behind her dis
Chapter 92Ava walked alongside her roommate, Sophia, as they left the lecture hall. They were both pre-med students, and the professor had just finished explaining a complex concept in pharmacology.Sophia shook her head, "I didn't understand anything the professor was saying. I'm so lost."Ava smiled patiently, "It's okay, I got it. Let me explain it to you."As they walked to their dorm room, Ava broke down the concept into simpler terms, and Sophia's eyes widened with understanding."Wow, Ava, you're a genius! I don't know what I'd do without you," Sophia said, grateful.Just then, Ava's phone beeped, indicating a video had been sent to her. She hesitated for a moment before opening the message. Her world came crashing down as she saw the video of Gold, her boyfriend, in bed with another girl.Ava's eyes froze on the screen, her mind reeling in shock. She felt like she'd been punched in the gut. Sophia, obliviou
Chapter 91Drake Valentino stepped into his office, his demeanor transforming from romantic to ruthless. His staff greeted him with respect, dressed in crisp business attire, their faces professional. The Valentino Corporation headquarters buzzed with activity, the sleek, modern decor exuding luxury and success."Good morning, sir," his assistant, George, said, approaching him. "Your meeting with the British client is scheduled for now. They're waiting in the conference room.""Very well, George," Drake replied, his voice firm. "Let's get down to business."With George by his side, Drake entered the conference room, his stride confident. The British client, Mr. Johnson, stood up, extending a hand."Good morning, Mr. Valentino," Mr. Johnson said, his accent posh. "A pleasure to finally meet you in person.""The pleasure is mine, Mr. Johnson," Drake replied, shaking his hand firmly. "I trust you're ready to discuss the terms o
Chapter 90Hand in hand, Drake and Evelyn walked into the living room, expecting a quiet morning together. But to their surprise, the servants had prepared a special gift for them. It wasn't something costly, but the thought and effort put into it was priceless."Wow, this is amazing!" Evelyn exclaimed, her eyes widening at the beautifully arranged breakfast spread before them."We wanted to do something special for you both," Mrs. Jenkins said, her eyes shining with warmth. "You deserve it, after all you've been through.""Thank you so much, this is incredible," Drake said, his voice filled with gratitude.As they sat down to enjoy their breakfast, the servants couldn't help but giggle and gossip about the couple."I can't believe how far they've come," Agnes said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Remember when Viola tried to cause trouble between them?""Oh, dear, that was a trying time," Mrs. Jenkins added, shakin
Chapter 89The couples stumbled into the fifth round of the Game of Love Challenge, laughing and joking. Maxine announced, "For the final round, we're playing 'Love Confessions'! Each of you will write a heartfelt letter to your partner, sharing your deepest feelings and desires."The couples scribbled away, their faces flushed with excitement and alcohol. When they finished, Maxine collected the letters and announced, "Now, let's exchange them and read them aloud!"The couples exchanged letters, their eyes scanning the pages as they read their partner's confessions. Some laughed, some cried, and others blushed bright red.After the game, the couples stumbled out of the venue, arm in arm, laughing and joking. They hailed taxis and headed to their respective destinations, still buzzing from the game and the alcohol.Amber and Nathan tumbled into their taxi, giggling and kissing. They gave the driver a vague address and collapsed into the back s

Chapter 87Evelyn tried to focus on what the client was saying, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach since Amber's cryptic message. Her husband, Young Master Valentino, was in trouble, and she needed to know what was going on.As soon as the photoshoot wrapped up, Evelyn excused herself and frantically searched for Amber. But her assistant was nowhere to be found. Panic set in as she realized she was alone and didn't know what to do.She rushed to Mr. Ronald's office, her boss and head of the agency. "Mr. Ronald, have you seen Amber? I need to speak with her urgently."Mr. Ronald looked up from his desk, concern etched on his face. "Evelyn, what's wrong? You look distraught.""I am," Evelyn replied, her voice shaking. "Amber sent me a strange message, and I can't find her anywhere."Mr. Ronald's expression turned serious. "I'm afraid Amber and Nathan just left th
