BETROTHED TO YOUNG MASTER DAVE

"Mum, what are you insinuating? They came today!" Evelyn shouted over the phone.

"Yes, come home right now" Mrs Brown replied.

"Why will I? I told you I don't want this!" She said,

"Please, Evelyn don't run away, come home straight" Mrs Brown pleaded.

"Who am I if I can't come? If my father believes I have my own virtue, he shouldn't have sold me to his friend's son," Evelyn said angrily.

She wanted to do her makeup for her photoshoot when her phone rang and it turned out to be her mother. She was asked to come home, her betrothed family are home already and she is angry and sad at the same time.

"What? An arranged marriage!" Amber shouted.

Evelyn quickly hung up the phone and Amber bursted into tears.

"Sis, that means I wouldn't work for you again, then who is gonna employ me because of my clumsy nature!" Amber sobbed while Evelyn wiped her tears.

"Who says you wouldn't work as my PA again, we are glued by gum, I would rather run away with you than to get married!" Evelyn pacifies her and she blushes.

"Sis, did you mean it?" Amber asked with a smile.

"Did you expect me to say that... I will be back and listen, don't tell this to anyone" Evelyn replied rushing out to her car.

"Sis, you have to shoot for Skincare and Mega cream!" Amber shouted but Evelyn already zoomed off.

Evelyn Browns is a high ranking model and she was well known in her country, America and internationally.

She is not famous because she is the only daughter of the Brown family, the second richest family in America but because of her cheerful and gentle nature.

"I just wish his betrothed is handsome and popular gosh!..I can't wait to snap with him and post it on my social media handles" She shouted but covered her mouth quickly.

"She said not to tell anyone!" She mutters, biting her lower lips.

****

Mrs Brown was outside all while praying for Evelyn to show up and her prayer yielded.

She sighs when Evelyn comes out of the car, she knows Evelyn Brown is an obstinate girl like her father and wouldn't agree.

"Mum,what are you telling me over the phone?" She asked.

"The truth, Evelyn!" Mrs Brown replied.

"Let's go in first, please act normal" Mrs Brown pacifies.

"Yeah," She replied and entered.

"I guess this is my daughter in-law" Mrs Valentino mutters with a smile.

The Valentino family are well known all over the world and America because they are the richest family.

Valentino and the Brown family were friends before Mr Brown and Mr Valentino died.

But during their friendship period, Mr Brown made a vow to Mr Valentino, that their children should get married when they are eighteen.

"Yes she is," Mrs Brown replied.

Evelyn sat down beside Mrs Brown.

"If you have agreed, I have chosen a date for them" Mrs Valentino mutters and picks her phone from her handbag.

"Where is the groom himself, is he a lame that can't even walk, making you come on his behalf?" Evelyn asked, staring at the perplexed Mrs Valentino.

Mrs Valentino had a surprise expression by Evelyn outburst.

She thought Evelyn would agree easily and not question because she heard Evelyn is a gentle girl.

"Well, he is on a business trip and he told me to come on his behalf" She replied, staring at Evelyn.

"Then...I don't support this marriage,I have to see my groom before jumping into the marriage, even if it's an arranged marriage" Evelyn replied hotly standing up beside Mrs Brown.

Mrs Brown pinched her but Evelyn didn't look like she got the clue.

"Calm down, daughter-in-law,he is truly on a business trip,he knows you and he wanted to get married to you before he went on a business trip but I told him, I will inform you first. So I wanted to use this as a surprise for him" Mrs Brown lied because his son didn't know that he was getting married.

"Then, tell him when he returns from his business trip that I, Evelyn Brown, rejected this marriage" She replied and left immediately.

"Evelyn!" Mrs Brown shouted going after her but she returned back when she saw that Eve had driven out of the parking lot.

"Maybe you should come some other time, I will talk to her" Mrs Brown said to Mrs Valentino who had stood up.

"Alright, I will take my leave" Mrs Valentino replied and left the house.

****

As Evelyn left the house, she went directly to a playground where she always came anytime she found herself in a mess or when she was sad.

The playground is not very far from her home. She often comes here because nobody can bother her, not even her fans.

She sat on the swing, swinging forth and back, nonstop.

She was very furious,the way the woman's words sound.She thought over and over about it.

"Don't kill yourself woman!" A guy said suddenly, making Evelyn stop swinging.

Evelyn maintained eye contact with the latter but she wasn't able to withdraw her eyes.
