Christy’s POV
I had a terrible feeling when we parted with Kendrick at the intersection but I didn’t think much about it.
"Can you take to any eatery around? I need to get sothing for everyone to eat" I said to Evans.
"Sure, there is one in front" he replied as he was focused on the road.
A few minutes later, he stopped in front of a huge restaurant and I got down from the car.
"You don’t need to follow , I will be quick" I said when I noticed that he got down too.
"Boss asked to ensure your safety, so I have to go with you" he replied with a calm expression.
I knew there was nothing I could possibly do to make him change his mind so I allowed him do as he pleases.
"Hello, I will like five of the family combo and a single al" I said to the waitress after glancing through the nu.
"Hello Mr Evans, how are you doing? Do you rember ?" An annoying and high pitched voice ca from behind .
Who else would have such a hateful voice?
"Sorry Miss, I don’t rember ever eting you" Mark replied with his usual calm tone and I almost laughed.
I didn’t turn back as I didn’t want her to notice , so I just enjoyed her little episode.
"You must have forgotten because of the nurous things you do as Mr Black’s personal assistant" She gave herself a reason to not feel awkward.
"Let reintroduce myself, my na is Emily, the Heiress of the Michaelson family" she said with arrogant voice.
" Oh, it’s Miss Michaelson? I rember now. Weren’t you thrown out from the company a few days ago because you were trying to sneak into Mr Black’s office" Evans said calmly.
I wanted to laugh at the beginning but when I heard the end, a naless anger flashed in my head.
"Who would have thought that the almighty Michaelson Heiress is such a shaless person" I turned to face her and her expression was worth the wait.
"You...What are you doing here?!" She stuttered while glaring at .
"If I wasn’t here, how would I have known that you are so desperate to seduce my boyfriend" I gave her a provocative smirk.
Her face contorted hideously and the layers of powder on her face cracked slightly.
"Your boyfriend? He dumped you!" she yelled angrily, her spoiled princess attitude was starting to show.
"Why would his assistant be with , if he really dumped ?" I asked her with a smile.
"You... You...Bitch!" she stuttered but couldn’t find anything to say, then she suddenly tried to get physical but Evans restrained her.
"You better watch yourself because I wouldn’t hesitate to kick off that plastic nose of yours" I warned angrily and she looked at with a stunned expression.
"What... WhatWhat.. Nonsense are you talking about? I have never had any plastic surgery" she said angrily but it was so glaring that she was lying.
Her nose was so sharp and pointed that even a blind man wouldn’t believe it was natural.
"Are you treating us like we have issues with our brains and can’t differentiate between a real and fake nose?" Evans frowned at her.
"No.. No, that’s not what I ant" she tried to explain but we just turned away to focus one the waitress that was bringing my order.
"I will definitely not let you go!" she yelled before storming away on her heals.
"Here is your order" the waitress handed two huge bags and a small one.
Evans carried the big bags and I held the small one as we returned to the car.
He started the car and we headed in the direction of the Lancaster family residence.
"How long have you been with Kendrick?" I asked him a question that I have been aning to ask for a while now.
"It’s been twelve years" he replied with his eyes fixed on the road.
"That’s nice... Did you guys et in school?" I asked curiously.
"No, I took a few courses eight years ago... I never went to the university" he replied, I didn’t know how to ask more to not make it seem like I was being too inquisitive.
"Boss is a very good person, he is the reason why I am alive now..." he seed to have noticed my hesitant expression, so he decided to tell .
"He saved you?" I asked and he nodded.
"I was raised in a really poor family, my father was a gambler and my mother had nurous lovers.
I was the only child, they didn’t care about . My father got beaten up every few days by the gambling dens while my mother would be gone for months with her lovers.
One day, my mother brought her new lover ho and when she saw , she imdiately hurled insults at . I was ten at the ti, so I cried my eyes out as it usually helped to feel better but this ti it didn’t.
Her new lover saw crying and offered sothing that would make numb to all the pain.
He gave a bunch of pills and I took them imdiately, it actually worked and I felt lighter.
He continued bringing more for and by the ti I turned twelve, I was already an addict" he paused to take a deep breath.
My heart ached for him, who would have ever thought that such a calm person had gone through so much.
"I was twenty two when Boss found , he and Anderson, were out to have fun that night and he saw being beaten up by a drug seller because I stole so pills.
I couldn’t afford them anymore as all my savings have already been spent on the pills because I took them more frequently.
The boss paid the seller and then he walked up to . I was expecting him to laugh like all the other rich kids but he was different.
He helped up, asked for my na and then gave so money, along with his phone number.
He told to call him only when I was ready to get clean. I went ho that night and gave him a call the next day.
I didn’t have much hope but he really showed up and took to the rehabilitation facility.
I was there for four years and when I finally got cleaned, he made take so courses in business administration.
He gave a job and an apartnt, so everything I have and I am, is all thanks to him" he finished narrating his story.
I don’t know at what part I started crying but my face was already soaked with tears.
"He really loves you, please don’t ever leave him" he suddenly said and I nodded.
"It seems like he has a thing for saving people... HeHe literally pulled out of the abyss I was in and gave a whole new lease on life" I said with a smile.
When we arrived at my family’s residence, I heard a lot of voices coming from the inside.
"Finally.. I was starving" Mira said when she saw the food we brought.
She grabbed one of the big bags from Evans and imdiately opened it, before stuffing her mouth with fried chicken.
"Eat like a lady!" my mother yelled on seeing her.
"Arrgh.. I am so hungry, I will be a lady when I am done" Mira replied with her mouth still filled.
"Stop being disgusting.. Jasper is here, don’t you have any sha" Mother grumbled angrily but Mira didn’t stop.
I turned to look at Jasper who had no reaction at all like her eating like a starved lion cub was a normal thing.
Dexter and Kelvin also grabbed so and before I knew it, the food had been distributed round.
"Here is yours Evans" I handed the small bag to him and we all started eating and gisting.
We talked about how we deserved Oscars for our acting as it wasn’t easy to pretend and be all tense for more than two months.
Thankfully everything is settled now, except the issue of Celeste and the others.
BANG!
"Was that a gunshot?" Dexter asked as he swiftly pulled out his gun.
Kelvin and our father also pulled out their guns while Jasper and Evans led the won to a corner.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
More gunshots rang out and it seed like our people were exchanging bullets with whoever was trying to get into the mansion.
"Be ready, I can hear footsteps which ans they are close" My father said and the front door was imdiately kicked down.
Three n dressed in all black attires walked in with guns.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Dexter, Kelvin and father, took each one out with a bullet to the head.
More imdiately rushed in while shooting sporadically. We all ran to hide from the flying bullets.
I noticed that the n were focused on and before I could react, they were already firing in my direction.
BANG!
BANG!
I watched as the bullets flew towards and closed my eyes knowing that there was no way I could escape but the expected pain did not co, instead, I heard a muffled groan before a heavy thud.
When I opened my eyes again, I noticed the attackers were hurriedly retreating and a few of them had been shot dead.
I looked down and my body imdiately froze.
"Evans!"
