Chapter 2: Caught in the trap

~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 turn the rest of my life hell or I jump from here and save myself from these devils.

I closed my eyes and prayed to God. I was still in my wedding gown but I don’t have any time left now to change it. I jumped from there and landed on a bush. The sleeves of the gown got torn off a little due to the thorns. But I didn't care about it and ran away to the garden area.

I peeked while hiding behind a bush. I could see many ladies and men dressed up in luxurious attires entering the mansion. I quietly made my way towards my car which was parked a few metres away from the mansion while sneaking behind the bushes.

I quickly got in and drove off towards the airport. I need to leave now!

Present time

Mrs. Black kept looking upstairs impatiently.

Mrs. Black: What's taking her so long?

She mumbled angrily.

"Where's the bride?" Mrs. Wills, her friend asked her in a mocking tone.

Mrs. Black: Ah!! She'll be here in a minute. I'll go and check. Besides Evelyn is going to be the daughter-in-law of the Blacks so isn't it obvious she'll take time?

She said in an arrogant tone making her scoff.

Mrs. Black then went upstairs to check for Evelyn.

Mrs. Black: What the hell!! What are you both doi-

She barged in the room angrily but stopped in midway when she saw Mrs. Clarke bawling her eyes out. She quickly went towards her and grabbed her shoulders tightly.

Mrs. Black: What happened?

She asked worriedly.

Mrs. Clarke: Evie, r-ra-ran away.

She said while sobbing hard.

Mrs. Black: WHAT!!

She hissed in anger making her flinched. She immediately called her son Dylan.

Dylan's P.O.V.

I was in the hall gossiping with my friends when all of a sudden, my phone buzzed. I checked the caller ID.

"Mom?"

I got puzzled but for sure it wasn't a good sign.

I answered it.

~OTP

Dylan: Hell-

Mom: DYLAN, EVELYN RAN AWAY!!

I clutched the phone tightly in my hand as soon as I heard that. I clenched my jaw and curled my fists in balls to control my anger. I quickly cut the call and stormed away from there.

I went towards my main bodyguard James and gripped his collar harshly. He looked at me in shock.

Dylan: What the hell were you doing? How did she escape?

I snarled.

James: S-sir w-we didn't k-know-

Dylan: Shut Up before I rip your head off.

I spoke with red eyes while gripping his collar tightly. I pushed him away and looked at the rest of my bodyguards.

Dylan: FOUR BODYGUARDS WITH ME NOW!

I then hurriedly made my way towards my ravishing love Bugatti and drove off speedily. James was with me while the rest two were in another car.

James: Sir, where Ms. Clarke will be now?

I smirked sinisterly. He looked at me puzzled.

"I am coming for you my love"

End of Dylan's P.O.V.

At ×××× Airport, New York 

Evelyn's P.O.V.

I had already booked the ticket for Boston during the ride. I couldn't go anywhere else since all the flights were full and I could get this one only right now.

People were giving me weird looks as I was looking like a runaway bride but it is now my least concern. After the security check I was quickly heading to board my flight when all of a sudden...

"EVELYN CLARKE"

I sure got a cardiac arrest as soon as I heard a thunderous growl behind me.

DYLAN!

My heart started hammering in my chest. All the blood got drained off my face. I started running away with full speed pushing everyone for my life.

Dylan: OFFICER STOP HER RIGHT NOW!

My heart was about to come out from my chest. I continued running away when all of a sudden two officers grabbed my arms from behind stopping me to go ahead.

Evelyn: NO!!LET ME GO!! 

I screamed my lungs out and started thrashing violently. Everybody looked at me in shock. I lost my senses and kept yelling and struggling to get away from their grip like a freak.

Suddenly Dylan snatched me away from their hold and hugged me tightly. I kept screaming and pushing him away.

All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain on my neck like something got pierced in my skin. I slowly started losing my energy. My body started becoming numb. 

It was like my body had become paralyzed but my brain was still working. 

Dylan then broke off the hug and carried me in bridal style towards his car. He looked at me. Tears kept rolling down my face but I wasn't able to speak anything nor able to move.

I just stared him blankly but pain was evident in my eyes.

He made me seated on the passenger seat and buckled up my seat belt. He then sat on the driver seat and looked at me. I was not in my senses anymore. I kept staring in front emotionlessly.

He cupped my face and wiped off my tears. I wanted to scream and punch him but I was feeling too tired. 

It was clear that he had drugged me.

End of Evelyn’s P.O.V.

~Time skips

At Black's Palace 

When Dylan and Evelyn entered everybody's eyes got widened as soon as they saw them...

Dylan was walking to the aisle while carrying Evelyn in his arms. He was smiling happily while looking at her who kept staring him impassively.

Everyone started cheering for the romantic couple. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Clarke quickly ran to the aisle as soon as they heard whistling and clapping. They both heaved a sigh while looking at both of them.

Dylan then slowly put her down and grabbed her hand. They both headed towards the priest. The priest smiled at Dylan which he returned back.

Soon the 'I DO' ceremony began.

Then they both exchanged rings.

Evelyn's P.O.V.

I don't know what was happening around but as soon my eyes landed on the ring I teared up.

It was a wedding couple ring which was chosen by me.

~Flashback

Dylan: Eve, check this.

He showed me a moissanite leaf gold ring. It was extraordinarily beautiful.

But I didn't want him to buy such an expensive ring.

Evelyn: Dan, that's too expensive and besides I want a couple ring.

My eyes then landed on a beautiful half heart-shaped ring.

Evelyn: Hey!! Look at this.

He whined after looking at it.

Dylan: Urgg! it's too simple.

Evelyn: No Dan, it is for soulmates. See if you connect them both it becomes a heart.

He burst​ into laughter after hearing it making me frown.

Dylan: There is no such thing like that. You're too stupid.

Tears brimmed at the corner of my eyes hearing his sarcastic tone.

Evelyn: Fine then choose whatever you want.

I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest.

Dan then wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

Dylan: I have already chosen what I want.

I blushed at his comments. He pinched my cheeks while chuckling.

Dylan: Okay. We'll buy this one only.

Evelyn: Really, thank you. I love you Dan.

I chirped.

Dylan: I love you too Eve.

End of flashback~

How he said those words so easily when he didn't even mean them. I was a professional woman but still my silly naive mind wasn't able to understand his dirty tricks.

I really love Dylan with all my heart​. He was my first love. He was a billionaire still I never force him to buy expensive things for me nor flattered him about his wealth and looks.

My love for him was pure. I was never after his money but now I faced the reality. It was completely my fault. I should had remembered that people like me should stay in their limits. We shouldn't fall for the charms of such royal brats for whom money, power and dominance are only their concern. They will never understand the meaning of true love or friendship.

Priest: The groom may kiss the bride.

While I was lost in my thoughts Dylan smirked and gave a soft peck on my lips.

I kept staring at him with tears streaming down my face. Everyone thought that I am crying out of happiness. Only if they knew the reason behind my tears.

But what Dylan said next shattered my heart into millions of pieces.

Dylan: I hate you Eve. I'll never love a disgusting nerdy ugly women like you. For me you're just a daughter of a gold digger.

He said those venomous words with so much hatred and anger while shooting dangers at me stabbing my already bleeding heart.......
