LOGINI am Evelyn Scott, a replacement for my sister’s wedding after they found out about Sterling’s wealth. Evelyn’s family especially her stepmother, Jane wanted to get rid of her from the house and decided to send her off to get married to Adrian, an ordinary man who always brought troubles to the Sterling family. Little did they know, Adrian conceals a hidden identity that could change everything if revealed. “I’m sorry, I’m late,” Adrian uttered as he arrived late at the wedding. Evelyn smiled at him, “It’s okay, what’s important is that you’re here.” As they spend their time together, Evelyn finds herself drawn by how gentle Adrian is. He was always attentive to her, and it seemed like he was washing her problems and worries away. It was the very first time that Evelyn felt something like this to someone. “I… like you,” she confessed. Adrian smiled, cupping his hands onto her face. He gently kissed her forehead. “Me too. I like you so much.” Can this kind of love would have a happy ending after? Will they be strong and stay together until the end? Would Evelyn stay if she found out the truth about her husband?
View MoreBack at the Scott's house, in a dimly lit room, Jane, Evelyn's stepmother, hatched a sinister plan. Her eyes gleamed with greed and ambition as she meticulously mixed a colorless, odorless poison into her husband's favorite evening drink. Jane's resentment towards Evelyn had festered over the years, fueled by an insatiable desire for power and control. She perceived Evelyn as a stumbling block in her quest to acquire the family fortune and ultimately inherit the company. "My love, here's your medication," Jane said sweetly, her voice laced with a false tenderness as she handed the glass to Harold. He, trusting his wife implicitly, took the drink without a second thought and consumed it without hesitation. As the weeks passed, the insidious effects of Jane's malevolent actions began to take a toll on Harold's health. Unbeknownst to him, every dose of the so-called medication administered by his wife concealed the slow, venomous progression of the colorless, odorless poison. Harold,
"Mr. Sterling," Michael greeted him and sat down across him. Adrian sipped his coffee. He smiled at him, "How was she? Is my wife doing well in the company?"Michael nodded his head. "She's been a great help to the company. She's so good at designing. She really knows what she's capable of."Adrian nodded with a smile on the corner of his lips, proud of what Evelyn achieved. "But, Mr. Sterling, why don't you tell her the truth? That you're the owner of the Lincoln Designs? That you are Mr. Lincoln?" he asked, curiously. Adrian paused for a moment, contemplating Michael's question. He took another sip of his coffee before responding, "I wanted to see how people would treat her without knowing about our connection. I needed to know if they would appreciate her for her skills and dedication, not because of her association with me."Michael raised an eyebrow, "It's a risky move, Mr. Sterling. But it seems to be working well for her."Adrian nodded, "I needed her to believe that her suc
Adrian had been anxiously waiting for Evelyn's return. As she walked out of the building, he could sense something wasn't right. "Evelyn, how did it go?" he asked, concern etched on his face. She took a deep breath, a mix of frustration and determination in her eyes. "It didn't go well. They think I'm not qualified for the position." Adrian frowned, "What company is that?" Evelyn sighed, "It's the Lincoln Designs." Adrian's expression tightened with concern. "That doesn't make sense. You're more than qualified for any position." Evelyn was surprised, "I didn't tell you what position I am applying for. So, did you know about that?" He clears his throat, "Of course. It's all on the web," he lied. Adrian is the owner of that company, the real him. He's the Heir of the Lincoln Designs, but he didn't tell Evelyn about it. He wanted to see people's perspectives when he was a nobody to everyone, he wanted to know who would stay with him no matter what. Adrian's heart sank, hearing th
As he dried the plates, Adrian couldn't help but feel a sense of worry for Evelyn. He decided to gently approach the topic. "You know, you can always talk to me, Evelyn. If something's bothering you, I'm here for you," Adrian said, his voice filled with concern. Evelyn hesitated for a moment, looking into Adrian's eyes. She could sense his genuine care and concern. Finally, she decided to open up a bit. "It's just... family matters, Adrian. I went to see my dad today, and things didn't go well," she confessed, avoiding the details. Adrian nodded understandingly, "Family can be complicated. If you ever feel like sharing, I'm here to listen." She managed a small smile, appreciating Adrian's support. They finished cleaning up together, and then they sat on the couch, enjoying a quiet moment together. The next day, Adrian noticed Evelyn was a bit distant. He decided to surprise her with a small bouquet. As he handed it to her, he said, "I thought these might brighten your day." Eve
