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
Evelyn's P.O.V Dylan: Had fun? I looked at him blankly but he kept glaring at me. "Evie" Suddenly I heard Mom's voice. I looked behind Dylan only to see my mother coming towards me while smiling at me. I smiled back. Evie: Mom. I approached her. She hugged me. Mom: Enjoyed your hangout. I chuckled. Evie: Yes, a lot. Thank-you so much, Mom. I chirped. She then side hugged me and took me inside. End of Evelyn's P.O.V. Dylan kept staring at Evelyn while they both went inside the mansion ignoring his presence completely. Again, anger started building up in him but he recalled his Dad's words and calmed down. Dylan: I'll see you later. He glared at Evelyn's leaving figure and walked away. 🌹~Next morning 6:30 a.m. Evelyn was standing at the main gate. Her sparklin
Xander: What's going on between Eve and Dylan? Maria looked at him calmly. She didn't have a single scar of shock or worry on her face. 'But why?' Maria: They don't share a good relationship with each other. She replied in a cold tone. Xander scoffed at her reply. Xander: I am already aware of that. Tell me something I don't know. He glared at her because it was clear that she was hiding the truth from him. Maria sighed and spoke in a soft tone. Maria: I can't tell you that. Xander's eyes widened. Xander: WHY? He growled in anger. Maria: You will get to know the truth once the time comes and it will be good if you hear it from the right person. For now, I only request you to keep her safe from him. He frowned at her words. She nodded. Xander then heaved a sigh and nodded back. Xander: Alright. Take care of her. He spoke while lo
At Black Estates 11:45 a.m. Evelyn's P.O.V. I quickly rushed inside the washroom and locked the door. I checked myself in the mirror. Oh No! My neck was painted with hickies and bite marks. My lips were swollen and lipstick was totally smudged. I started panicking as I don't have a concealer to hide these marks. I don't have a phone even. My phone, money, credit card and all my stuffs were confiscated by Dylan. He never even paid me a single penny although I worked for him. I still remember the black day when I came to know how brutal and heartless, he is. ~Flashback 3 months ago I was in the library completing the presentation for Black Estates' new project which was for a brand-new luxury showroom of exotic cars. Dylan had still not given me my salary
