Evelyn woke up and walked to the living room, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw Dianna sitting on the couch. Evelyn's anger started to bubble up inside her, and she clenched her fists in fury. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief and irritation. Dianna stood up with a smirk, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Just taking a tour of the house of my future husband," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. Before Evelyn could respond, Alaric entered the room, his attention solely on Dianna. Evelyn's heart sank as she watched him ignore her presence. "Dianna, why are you here?" Alaric asked, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and curiosity. Without hesitation, Dianna rushed towards Alaric and hugged him tightly. A flicker of surprise crossed Alaric's face as he glanced at Evelyn. He stood there, his arms hanging on both sides, allowing Dianna to hold onto him. Evelyn looked away, her heart sinking even further. Tears welled up in Dianna's

The sun shone down on the grand exterior of Evelyn's maternal home, the luxurious villa of the Rockefellers, nestled in the heart of the city. As she walked towards the front door, Evelyn was greeted warmly by the servants who had been with her family for years."Welcome back, our young lady. It's good to have you home," greeted the head butler with a smile.Evelyn returned the smile, feeling comforted by the warm reception. "Thank you. It feels good to be home."As she stepped into the foyer, Evelyn was greeted by Freya, the housekeeper, who approached her with a smile. They exchanged a few words."Ms. Freya, where is Dad?" asked Evelyn, sensing the hesitation in the other woman's demeanor."Sir is currently in his study. He is... in a bad mood," replied Freya, her expression reflecting her unease."I see. Please inform him that I'm waiting for him in the living room," said Evelyn, trying to keep her tone steady. "Thank you, Freya."Freya nodded before turning to leave. "Do you want

Alaric was dropping Dianna off at her home after they visited the hospital. As he helped her with the seat belts, he asked, "Is your leg okay?""Luckily it wasn't a sprain." Dianna smiled, "Don't worry, I can walk now thanks to the medication."Alaric nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow, then." Dianna stayed in her seat, motionless. Suddenly, she grabbed Alaric's tie, bringing him close to her and kissing him deeply. However, Alaric didn't respond to the kiss, keeping his lips pursed together.Dianna pulled back, disappointed, and asked, "Why won't you kiss me back?" Alaric looked at her sternly and replied, "We shouldn't be doing this before our marriage. I don't want anyone to see us and make insulting comments about you."Dianna became angry and asked, "You keep telling me that we'll get married, Ric, but when is that going to happen? You still haven't gotten Evelyn to sign the divorce papers."Alaric paused, unsure of what to say. Finally, he cleared his throat and replied, "I did gi

The morning sun slowly filtered in through the window, casting a warm glow on the living room floor where Evelyn laid sound asleep. She was jolted awake by a gentle shake and the sound of her butler, Kenny's soft voice. Blinking her eyes and wincing because of the severe headache, she struggled to sit up."Madam, please wake up. Are you okay?" Kenny asked, his voice laced with concern as he knelt down by her side.Evelyn blinked her eyes several times to clear her head before looking around, trying to piece together what happened last night. As her gaze fell on the now-clean floor, she felt a pang of guilt for making Kenny clean up the mess."I'm sorry for making you clean up the mess," she said softly.Kenny shook his head gently, his eyes still filled with worry, "No, madam, please don't apologize. I wanted to place you somewhere more comfortable, but I was forbidden to touch you. I didn't want to anger Sir."Evelyn let out a sad smile in understanding and nodded. "Where is he?" she

Exiting the doctor's chamber, Evelyn's mind was in turmoil. She wondered how she would tell Alaric about her pregnancy. Deep down, she knew Alaric would not want to have a child with her, given their crumbling relationship.Lost in her thoughts, Evelyn's steps paused, and she found herself clutching the report tightly with one hand while protecting her belly with the other. She muttered to herself, "What if he asks me to abort this child?"The mere thought of abortion made Evelyn's heart ache and bleed.___________Amidst the chaotic, honking cars on the road, Evelyn's mind was in disarray. Unbeknownst to her, tears streamed down her cheeks. Wiping them away, she looked at the report once more, contemplating her next move. Just then, a voice called out from behind, causing her to freeze in fear."Evelyn?"Evelyn turned around, horrified to see Kevin, Alaric's best friend, standing there.Kevin's voice was laced with suspicion as he questioned her, "What are you doing in front of a hos
