Dylan's P.O.V.
"How is she?"
I asked Iris worriedly. She looked away and said in a serious tone.
"She has a fever but don't worry I had given her the medicines. She'll be fine."
I sighed in relief. I was about to thank her but she immediately left without saying anything. I shrugged it off and entered the room. Evelyn was awake. She was staring at the ceiling blankly. I went near her.
"You, okay?" I asked her softly.
She didn't reply and started getting up. I immediately held her shoulders.
"No! what are you doing? You need to rest."
But she quickly yanked my arms away and pushed me. I stumbled back.
"Don't.touch.me."
She said with gritted teeth. I glared at her. I quickly approached her and held her arms tightly.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT GLARE, UNDERSTOOD? YOU FILTHY SHIT, YOU SHOULD THANK ME FOR NOT LETTING YOU DIE. THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY FOR MY KINDNESS!"
I screamed fiercely while clutching her arms in a death grip. But in an instant my face got swung to the other side. She slapped me.
End of Dylan's P.O.V.
Evelyn's P.O.V.
"KINDNESS? WHAT KINDNESS? YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MY SUFFERINGS. YOU'RE THE MAIN REASON OF MY PAIN TODAY. I CURSE MYSELF FOR FALLING FOR A DEVIL LIKE YOU."
I yelled on top of my lungs angrily while shooting daggers at him. He immediately pinned me down on the bed and hovered above me. His eyes turned blood-red and face was dark. His jaw was clenched and he was holding my wrists in a tight grip making me yelp.
"It's your fault not mine. I don't even love you." He snarled while grinding his teeth in rage.
"THEN WHY DESTROY MY LIFE?" I shouted furiously.
"DON'T YELL AT ME!!" He yelled back.
I gave up. I was too tired of their games. Tears started escaping my eyes as I looked at him painfully.
"Why you're doing this to me?" I cried in pain.
But a smirk got plastered on his face as soon as he saw me crying making me confused.
"You wanna know the reason?"
Dylan spoke menacingly while looking at me with his fiercely gaze. I nodded. He then cupped my face and wiped off my tears making me frown.
"You're gonna work for me from now on."
I got struck with panic as soon I heard his words. I jerked away his hands and tried to push him but he didn't budge.
"NO! GET OFF ME."
I kept struggling but Dylan just chuckled in return. He then grabbed both of my hands with his one hand and with another hand he caressed my cheek. I kept moving but he put his entire weight on me.
"Oh, my silly Eve! You think I got worried for you that's why I took care of you. Hahaha... You're really so dumb."
I looked at him in shock while tears kept falling down. He chuckled.
"But you said that I am not a good manager. My skills are poor and I don't-"
"You're Mom said that I didn't."
I looked at him puzzled.
‘What's going on?’
Dylan snickered darkly at my confused face making my blood boil in anger.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
I yelled with red eyes. He then squeezed my face painfully making me wince in pain.
"TO BUY YOU...TO MAKE YOU WORK FOR ME... YOU’RE MINE NOW...MY SLAVE...YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR THE BLACKS FROM NOW ON."
I struggled while he just tightened his grip.
"You're a genius Eve. Your parents are so stupid to not understand your worth. You have incredible business tactics. When I saw your presentation of the project, I immediately made up my mind to have you by hook or crook because no one in such a young age can develop such amazing management skills. You were just a beginner then. On that day I made up my mind to get you work for my company. That's why I myself proposed for this marriage with your parents but I made it clear that it will be just a business proposal but your gold-digger Mom sold you immediately to me just for my money and saving her ass from this myriad debt."
I continued staring at him in shock with teary-eyes. Dylan slowly removed his hands and started playing with my hairs.
"So now my dear wife, you are left with no choice but to work for my company."
He snickered while curling a strand of my hair between his fingers.
"No! How could you all do this to me? And why you need to marry me for that? To keep an eye on me?" I whimpered but he just smiled and nodded his head.
"Well, I can't be this cruel to you. You loved me so much. You trusted me blindly so I thought it will be better if I would at least reward you with something which makes you happy. And trust me you watching me with Sophia was just an accident. Actually, I was in no mood of revealing the truth to you ever."
I instantly lost my cool hearing his sarcastic reply.
‘How could he be this calm while tearing someone's heart apart and shattering down his/her hopes?’
I instantly kneed him harshly. He fell on the ground groaning in pain. I stood up and yelled infuriatedly.
"YOU ASSHOLE! SO, YOU WERE PLANNING ME TO KEEP ME IN A LIE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE? THIS IS YOUR TRUE COLOUR YOU SNAKE."
But Dylan immediately got up and slammed me on the wall.
"SHU-"
I spit on his face in disgust and again tried to hit him when he slapped me. I fell on the bed. I couldn't stand up as my ankle got twisted. Dylan then went to a drawer and removed a rope and a handcuff. He then tied me to the bed.
"LET ME GO!!"
He then pressed a button and growled wildly.
"BRING HER FOOD!"
I flinched by his tone. Suddenly a maid came inside the room with a bowl full of porridge. Dylan took the bowl in his hands and sat beside me.
"EAT IT!"
He spoke in a threatening tone. I shook my head. Dylan then put the bowl on the table. He grabbed my hair harshly making me whimpered and quickly shoved a spoon full of porridge in my mouth. I instantly spit on his face. He closed his eyes in anger.
But all of a sudden, he punched my face brutally. My lips started bleeding. I started crying hysterically. He then grabbed my cheeks and started feeding me roughly.

Dylan fed me the entire porridge and made me eat my medicines forcibly. My head was aching like hell. Blood was continuously dripping from my mouth. He then took a tissue and started wiping my blood. I was sitting idly wincing in pain. He then cupped my face making me look at his evil orbs.
"I am leaving you today since you're not well. But tomorrow you're gonna join the office. Rest for now." He spoke in a calm voice.
"And if I don't agree?"
Dylan growled and tightened his grip on my cheeks.
"Don't.you.dare.test.me."
"Please don't do this to me."
I begged him helplessly. But he caressed my cheeks with his hands while staring at me seriously.
"Listen well, you have to follow my orders from now on and don't you dare disrespect me or my parents or else I'll make your life a living hell." His vicious eyes showed no mercy.
Dylan then stood up and left while slamming the door shut. I rested my head on the headboard while tears kept falling down my eyes slowly.
"God, please save me"
