Chapter 2

Evelyn called her father's butler to take care of the car and called a taxi home. She went straight to the shower and had a relaxing bath, the incident between her and Xavier replayed in her mind over and over. She had no doubt he was Xavier because she had seen the black card which only one person possessed which was him. But something kept clicking in her brain, he had the same name as her father's company.

Well it might be a coincidence, she wondered. She felt the cold air hit her body reminding her that she was still in the shower, wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she got out of the shower to get dressed.

Evelyn headed downstairs for dinner and met her father sipping coffee while reading the magazine in his hands

"Hey dad"

"Princess" Thomas smiled "how was your day?"

"Urmm.. "

Thomas reaised his brows up "did you cause any trouble Evie?"

Evie coughed slightly "no dad"

Thomas shrugged, "I won't be around for a week, I got something to do with the company"

Evelyn sighed, he hasn't always being available for her since she was little and ever since the death of her mom. She picked up her forked and cut part of the steak on her plate. At least she didn't have to make an excuse for her date with Xavier.

Evelyn went up to her room after having dinner to facetime her bestfriend Katherina.

She picked up her phone and dialled her number. The later picked up on the third ring.

"Hiya" Katherina smiled through through the phone screen

"Hey, how are you doing" Evie asked

"Fine babes, I've got something going on right now tho"

"What's that?" Evie inquired with curiosity in her voice. Katherina was always a jovial type she had less bad news coming from her and when she does, she took it serious and might get depressed for days

"You know about mason's and i affairs?" She asked, "turns out I'm pregnant and Mason isn't ready to be a father"

Evelyn scurried her brows in confusion "since when kat?"

"Three weeks gone now" Katherina replied with a sadden tone

"Why didn't you tell me kat?, I'm your bestfriend and bestfriends don't hide things from each other"

"I'm sorry Evie, i doubted it at first until I went to the hospital to confirm a week ago and I was told I'm three weeks gone"

Evelyn sighed "fine, so what do you wanna do with the pregnancy uh?"

"I'll keep it even though Mason is insisting in an abortion"

"That's good Kathie, I'm here for you" Evelyn said with a smile.

"So....any juicy talk today?" Katherina asked with a playful smile on her lips

"Yeah.. i met Xavier today"

Katherina furrowed her brows in confusion, "Xavier?"

"Yes. Xavier Daniels, CEO of Alphaplay"

Katherina gave out a sarcastic laugh " trust me babes, that person you met isn't Xavier Daniels, he's just an imposter who claims to be him"

Evelyn felt a light surge of anger within her "I'm sure Kathie, he showed me his black card"

Katherina couldn't hold her laughter anymore and bursted out laughing

" Trust me babes, that card is fake "

Evelyn felt annoyed that Katherina couldn't believe her, she had never lied before so why would she now?.

Keeping her anger at bay, she said "I'll call you later Kathie, I've got something to do right now" then she ended the call.

I need a photograph of him, she thought. That was the only way Katherina could believe her.

She stared at the purpled color walls of her room for a very long time until she felt a fluffy object clinging unto her leg. Guessing it was her cat Nala, she looked down and picked it up, stroking its pure white fur.

Kathie doesn't believe me Nala, she said to her cat who meowed in response.

Evelyn sighed and layed down on her bed and fell into a dreamless sleep with Nala by her side.
