Inside Black's Palace
Evelyn's P.O.V."NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS" I screamed on top of my lungs with tears rolling down my face as I saw him staring me with cold eyes. There was no softness or sympathy in those beautiful blue orbs. His expressions were icy cold as he looked at me sternly.Dylan: Listen there is no use of yelling and putting up a show now as we have already arranged-
Evelyn: Shut the Fuck Up!! Do hell with your arrangements. I had made it clear. I won't marry you. That's it.
Mom: Evie, Shut Up! You have to-
Evelyn: You all Shut the Fuck Up now. I had enough with your bullshit. How could you do this to your own daughter? Am I really your child?
I yelled while tears kept falling down like a river.
Mom: What are you saying, Evie? You're not in your senses anymore.
She tried to calm me down.
Mr. Black: See we need to hurry up. The guests are about to arrive. So just get her ready.
Evelyn: NO! I WON'T.
I screamed furiously and was about to run away from there when Dylan grabbed my wrists tightly and pulled me back.
Dylan: No sweetheart. You will.
He glared me with his murky eyes making my blood boil in anger.
End of Evelyn's P.O.V.But what was the reason behind Evelyn's decision of not marrying the man whom she had loved with all her heart?
~Flashback
An hour beforeEvelyn's P.O.V.Today is my wedding with my love, my boyfriend Dylan Black. He is the CEO of Black Estates.Dylan is four years older than me. We met 2 years ago on a business trip in London for discussing about a project which was designed for the collaboration of Black Estates and Clarke Enterprises. I was the leader of the project. Dylan immediately liked it and agreed to work with us.
After that we started meeting each other frequently. He used to hit on me which I didn't liked first but eventually fall for him later. Soon we started dating. Then one day he proposed me which I gladly accepted.
Dylan is very caring and protective towards me. Many girls envy me as he is too hot and charming but that handsome hunk had fallen head over heels for a simple girl like me.
I was completely dolled up now and Man, I looked amazing!
Mom: Evie, hurry up. Let's go.
Evelyn: Yeah coming.
I checked myself up and exited the room.
While I was walking in the hallway suddenly, I heard some moans coming from a room which made me disgusted.
Evelyn: God!! What the Hell? Can't they not do it here?
While I was mentally cursing that freaking couple when all of a sudden, I heard a familiar name which made my heart stop.
"Mmmm...Uh.....D-Dylan!"No way!Tears started welling up in my eyes as I heard a feminine voice.'What the hell is happening?'My palms started sweating badly. I carried my footsteps to that mysterious room hesitantly. But the closer I got, the louder those sinful sounds become.My heart was hammering in my chest wildly. I wasn't able to comprehend anything. I just kept praying that it's just a dream. They are someone else.
I grabbed the doorknob slowly with my trembling hands. I was breathing heavily. I slowly opened the door gaining my entire courage.
The world stopped around me!It was Dylan and Sophia kissing each other wildly, basically sucking each other's faces.I remained glued on my spot and kept staring at them in shock.
All of a sudden Sophia's eyes landed on my panic-stricken face. She widened her eyes and pushed Dylan away from her. He looked back confusingly but as soon our eyes met each other, he became shocked.
Sophia: Evelyn, I can ex-
I didn't wait for her damn explanation and ran away from there quickly to my room.
I slammed the door shut and started bawling my eyes out.
Evelyn: How could he? What did I do?
I kept crying my heart out while sitting on the cold floor.
🌹
~Time skipsMom: Evie, open the door. We need to talk.I immediately opened the door and was about to run in her arms but she gripped my wrist and pulled me inside the room closing it.
I became perplexed by her behaviour but still I tried to tell her the truth.
Evelyn: Mom Dyla-
Mom: I know.
Evelyn: What?
I was taken aback by her reply.
What does she mean by that she knows?
Mom: I need to tell you everything. Please first calm down and listen.
I nodded as I was still in a haze. Mom: Evie, Dylan and your marriage is actually a business arrangement. His Dad and your Dad had arranged this marriage for partnership purpose. Blacks have invested approx. 50 million dollars in our company as it was going downhill. They had agreed on this condition only if you and Dylan will get married.I was looking at her in complete shock while she kept explaining to me.Evelyn: But Mom, Dylan have a girlfriend. He cheated on me-"I never loved you"Suddenly Dylan barged inside the room making me flinched. I looked at him with teary-eyes completely shaken up with his words.Evelyn: What?Dylan: You heard me.How could he?Evelyn: But why?Dylan heaved a deep sigh before answering me.Dylan: See Eve, this was all a deal. I had no interest in you. In fact, I didn't even like you at the first place. My parents had forced me into this. I was acting all lovey-dovey with you just to win your heart and for that shit marriage thing. But I assure you once we get married, I would never force myself on you. You can do whatever damn thing you want to do in your life. I have a girlfriend Sophia and I love her very much. We'll act as husband and wife only in front of others else-Before he could complete his sentence, I gave a hard slap on his face. His face got flung to the right making him glare at me angrily.Evelyn: Shut Up. You think everything is so simple. Everything is so damn easy. You all believe that you would just confess your shits right on my wedding day and I would happily agree with it. What am I to you all? A toy, a damn puppet. NEVER... NEVER EVER I am gonna marry a cheater like you.Mom: EVELYN!Evelyn: ENOUGH! YOU PLAYED WITH MY HEART...WITH MY FEELINGS. YOU ALL MADE ME A FOOL. HOW COULD YOU? AND HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN DAUGHTER?Mom: IT'S FOR THE COMPANY.Evelyn: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR COMPANY. YOU ARE BASICALLY SELLING YOUR DAUGHTER MOM. I NEVER KNEW THAT YOU THINK OF ME AS A PROS-Before I could complete my sentence, I felt a stinging pain on my cheek. I held my cheek and looked at her with teary-eyes.Mom: SHUT UP! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING PIECE OF SHIT!My eyes widened in shock while she kept spewing venom at me, stabbing my heart. Mom: What would you had done even? You would have saved our company from this loss. We had already made a huge mistake by appointing such a pathetic girl like you as the manager of our company. Because of you only our company couldn't make any progress for two years and we were still bogging under that huge debt. And now when someone is lending a stick for us to hold you think I'll let you snatch it away. No way in hell I will allow you to do that. You will marry him, Evelyn Clarke. End of Discussion.~End of FlashbackI kept struggling in his hold which made Dylan only tighten his grip on my wrist.Mrs. Black then approached me and said in a threatening tone.Mrs. Black: Enough of your tantrums. Steady yourself and be prepared for the ceremony or I'll send your entire family in jail.I became numb by her threat. Evelyn: YOU CAN'T DO THIS!They all started laughing except my parents who kept shooting daggers at me.Mrs. Black: Oh Honey! You have no idea about us and our power. We'll make your life a living hell if you don't follow our commands. Marry or see yourself rot in hell.I was crying badly while she was smirking at me menacingly. I was now left out of words. Really, I couldn't do anything. I looked down in defeat. Dylan then pulled me towards him. He wiped my tears and led me to the makeup room. I was walking half-heartedly. I was completely broken. My parents think of me as a burden and piece of shit. I am good for nothing. I had put my best efforts to overcome from this loss. I worked day and night for that project which we had discussed with Dylan's company. I was oblivious with the fact that it was already a plan. They just shut me up by saying that all my hard work were just lame efforts.Really Mom and Dad?I was lost in my thoughts while tears kept falling from my eyes.Dylan: Doll her up again and make sure my bride looks perfect.He said while smirking at me. I didn't look up at him. What was now left to see or listen?NothingWhat was the point of fighting now?NothingDylan left the room. The stylists then made me sit and started doing my makeup again while I kept staring in space sadly. End of Evelyn's P.O.V.🌹~Time skipsDylan and his parents were busy greeting the guest. Evelyn's parents were also addressing all their friends and relatives.Mrs. Black: Mrs. Clarke, call Evelyn.She said to Mrs. Clarke. She smiled at him and left.
Mrs. Clarke's P.O.V.I went inside her room. But there was no one. I was about to check inside the washroom when suddenly I saw..the window was open.....My breath hitched.
Oh My God!
‘Did Evie ran away?’*****~Flashback Few hours ago Evelyn's P.O.V. I was sitting while staring at my reflection blankly. The stylists looked at me in pity. After doing my makeup they left the room quietly. Finally! I immediately ran and closed the door. I quickly grabbed my purse. Luckily, I had some money in it. I grabbed my phone and car keys and went towards the window opening it. I looked down. Fortuitously there was no one around there as it was the backyard. Stupid! However, it was approximately 10 feet high. Jumping from here will definitely end me up in a hospital. But right now, I don't give a fuck about it as my main priority was now to escape from this hell somehow. It was just a 'Do or Die' case. Either I marry this monster and tu
(Warning: Triggering scenes ahead, do watch at your own risk) Evelyn's P.O.V. The fake wedding ceremony was over. My mom shed crocodile tears during the farewell. However, Dad looked remorseful and I know why. I know my mother must had forced him for this marriage as she's​ crazy about wealth and property. Dad tried to hug me but I backed away as there is no use of crying over a split milk now. If you help someone in crime you become a criminal as well. Right now, I was in his bedroom fuming with anger. The effect of that bloody drug was over by now and I was literally ready to burn all of those filthy scums with my raging eyes. Really how could they do that to me? And my own parents were even involved in this crime which made me weaker and sadder as I don't deserve it at all. I don't think that selling your daughter just for your damn company sounds right from any point.
(CAUTION: This chapter might contain some disturbing scenes so if you feel uncomfortable, skip it) ~2:30 a.m. Evelyn's P.O.V. I opened my eyes and slowly got up. I found myself untied. I checked the time. It was beyond midnight. I glanced my surroundings only to find myself alone in this huge bedroom. I found a balcony. I slowly got up as my ankle was hurting badly and headed towards it. It was not so high. An idea of running flashed in my mind. I immediately locked the door. I pulled of the bedsheets and quickly tied them up to the metal railing of the balcony so as to go down. I eventually made to the ground and dashed towards the main gate. It was so dark making it difficult for me. I saw some guards over there. Damn!!! Evelyn: Now what? I whispered yelled. But something ticked my mind. Last time
At Black Estates 9:30 a.m. Evelyn's P.O.V. I entered the office which was filled with the ringing sounds of telephones and chitter-chatter of men and women. My eyes wandered around the large boisterous hallway. I felt myself like a lost kid as I kept walking inside this colossal building. All of a sudden, a click-clack sound of heels caught my attention. I looked up only to see a beautiful girl with shiny brown locks approaching me. "You're Evelyn, right?" I nodded. Rose: Well, I am Rose. I am the chief manager of accounts department which means I am your head. 'Accounts department but I am a management student?' She extended her hands for a handshake. I accepted it nervously. Evelyn: Nice to meet you Ms. Rose. But I am a ma- I stopped myself as I immediately recalled. "At the office you're gonna be an average em
At Black Estates 9:30 a.m. Dylan's P.O.V. Everyone bowed to me as I entered the office. While I was heading towards my cabin suddenly, I heard chuckles and cackles coming from a cabin. I clenched my jaw as soon as I heard a sweet giggle. 'Eve' I easily recognised that this voice belonged tonone other than Evelynas she has a very sweet voice. I immediately barged inside the cabin only to see Eve cachinnating at Ian's jokes while holding her stomach. Anger rushed inside my veins. I curled my fists in a ball as they both were busy in their own world irrespective of my presence. But as soon Ian's gaze landed on me, he panicked and immediately stood up. Evelyn got confounded and followed his gaze. But my blood boiled when she just stared at me emotionlessly. Ian noticed me blazing with fire. He shook her a little. But she heaved a sigh and got up still staring me with a poker f
Four months had passed since Evelyn started working for Black Estates. It had now become the most prolific company of America. It's productivity and value in the share market was unbeatable. All the other industries were gradually declining as it had emerged as the top-notch company of America where everyone was dying to work. Dylan was now a high-flier. He was being called 'whiz kid' of the business industry. Everyone was impressed with his intellectual and canny business tactics. Clients from all over the world were clashing with each other to work with his company. Everyone desired to 'go for the gold' as Black Estates had become the Growth Company of America. The Blacks were now seen as one of the most affluent people of America. Dylan was slowly becoming too ruthless and inhuman. He had started using dirty business tactics in order to make the manager of other companies lick his shoes if they wanted to work with him. He would ask them a prodigious amount for mak
At Black Estates 2:30 p.m. While the trio were having a gala time a man with dark eyes and clenched fists was staring at them with a piercing gaze from a distance. He was none other than Dylan. Dylan: What are you both doing here? They all stopped laughing and snapped their heads towards his direction. Brandon: Playing football, wanna join? Evelyn chuckled at his response. Dylan glared her. Dylan: Ms. Clarke, don't you think you are getting too much in my way today? He snarled with gritted teeth. Xander then held her arms as he pulled her towards him. Xander: She isn't doing anything. We approached her first. He spoke in a stern voice. Brandon: And what is your problem? Stop disturbing us. Dylan was already fuming and now Brandon's words only fuelled up his anger more. He immediately marched toward them angrily. Dylan: I don't give a d
At Black's Palace 8:30 a.m. Evelyn's P.O.V. I was in my room eating breakfast quietly while my mind was still lingering around yesterday's incident. 'But why did he do that?' I have done everything what he wanted from me but still that guy.... Huh! Whom I blaming even? It's all my fate. It's all being done by God. He is also enjoying my sufferings. First, he shows me a ray of hope and then he hide it under the dark pessimistic clouds when I get to live again. He is also playing with me so why am I even blaming those filthy human beings. A sad chuckle escaped my lips as I laughed at my poor, helpless and pitiful life. End of Evelyn's P.O.V. Maria's P.O.V. After preparing the breakfast, I entered the room only to find Evie smiling with tears streaming down her face. My heart shattered into million pieces looking at th
