LOGIN“Oh, Evelina, you look so beautiful,” Diana marveled as she looked at Evelina in the white wedding dress.
Evelina, on the other hand, did not smile. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. The dress was beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with it, but standing there and knowing that this marriage to Adrian would be nothing more than a contractual one left a bitter taste in her mouth.
The dress was far more expensive than Evelina had ever thought of spending. A
The Ole CaféOlivia walked into the café and looked around. A displeased expression crossed her face as she took in the place. Despite everything she had done, the café was doing remarkably well. It had received praise from various people and had even been featured in articles describing it as one of the best cafés in the Chicago district.After reading about its success, Olivia had felt sick to her stomach. She had been trying her best to get Evelina’s café shut down, but she had not been successful. It turned out that having a powerful name like Beaumont meant that people thought twice before challenging you.She scanned the café and spotted Evelina wiping down tables at the far end of the room. Immediately, hatred filled her heart. In Olivia’s eyes, Evelina was the woman who had taken Adrian away from her, and she could not stand seeing her enjoy the success she had tried so hard to destroy.Olivia walked towards her, her high heels clicking against the wooden floor. As soon as Eve
The Next MorningThe Beaumont Urban Estate BuildingAdrian woke up that morning feeling exhausted after being unable to sleep the entire night. He was still bothered by Olivia’s warning that he should leave his wife. He had spent hours trying to think of multiple ways to get rid of her, but none of the plans seemed likely to work the way he wanted them to. The last thing he wanted was to be called a murderer simply because he had wanted to get rid of Olivia.As soon as he walked into the building and stepped out of the elevator, he could hear commotion coming from the hallway leading to the offices. When he finally reached the source of the noise, he saw that it was none other than Olivia, arguing with one of the managers, who was doing his best to stand his ground.“I have told you to do what I said! Do you know who I am? Very soon, my position in this company will rise, and I will show each and every one of you, including you!” Olivia yelled at the manager. The moment the manager no
Adrian and Evelina's HouseThe celebration had gone better than Adrian had hoped it would. Even though it was a small party involving himself, his wife, Noah, and a few members of the household staff, it had been enough to make his day. He had almost forgotten about Olivia's ultimatum, even if only for a few hours. The laughter and happiness in the house had made it easier for him to pretend that everything was finally falling into place.Later that night, Adrian lay in bed beside his wife, with her hands wrapped around his waist. While Evelina slept peacefully, he could not help staring at the ceiling. His mind went back to the night he had gone to help Olivia. That was when everything had started going from bad to worse. Every time he thought about it, he wished he had stayed away from her and avoided getting himself involved in her problems.His phone rang again. Adrian turned his head towards his bedside table and reached for the device. When he looked at the caller ID, he realise
The moment Adrian heard those words coming out of Olivia's mouth, he froze right there in his office. Of all the bad things that could have happened, this was by far the worst. All he could think about was his relationship with his wife, Evelina, and how everything between them would crumble if the truth ever came out.He stepped away from Olivia. He knew the kind of woman she was. She was cunning and would do whatever she needed to do to get what she wanted, even if it meant lying to him. Adrian had always known that Olivia was not someone he could easily trust, and now, standing in front of her, he had every reason to be suspicious.He looked at Olivia for a while, studying her facial expression and trying to see if he could catch her slipping up. He wanted to believe that she was lying, that this was just another one of her attempts to get his attention. However, when he looked at her, he could see that she was serious, and that alone sent Adrian's blood cold.“I don't believe you
Adrian and Evelina's HouseAdrian had arranged for another vehicle to be brought for his driver so that he could drive him home. Once he arrived at his property, the driver unlocked the door, and Adrian walked out.He needed to remain calm. He had told himself that so many times, hoping that it would be enough to convince his wife that everything was okay.As soon as he walked into the house, Evelina hugged him tightly, as though he had been lost on a voyage for years and not that they had seen each other only a few hours ago at his office.“Wow, why am I getting such a lovely hug from?” he joked.The moment he was done joking, Evelina looked into his eyes.“You don't have to try to pretend as though everything is okay. I know what happened at work, with someone smashing your car windows and also deflating your tires.”Hearing those words come out of Evelina's mouth, Adrian knew that he had been tryi
“How... how did you get this piece from the runway when it has barely been released to the public?” Olivia asked, beyond shocked.The dress that had been on the runway just the night before was suddenly standing in Adrian’s office, displayed on a mannequin in a much larger size.“Well, let’s just say that when you have money, you can pull off a few things,” Adrian answered with a smirk. “In addition to myself buying the designer’s collection, I also made sure that she worked throughout the night to create a larger-sized dress for my wife. I also gave her a warning... never to try to bully my wife again.”Olivia turned her attention back to Adrian, and he could see the anger in her eyes. They were red, and she was nearly on the brink of tears as she clenched her hands into fists.“You don’t get it, Adrian. You can’t be doing things to someone like that. She does not deserve you... I do. I love you.” Olivia tried to approach Adrian, but he stepped away from her, making it clear that she
