Evelyn eyed the bruise on her wrist, almost bursting into tears as she waved down a taxi driver "Excuse me, sir! Could you stop at the pharmacy?"she asked with a kind smile her eyes red with unshed tears but filled with unrequited consequences. The driver glanced at her through the mirror. His thumbs drumming on the steering wheel feeling uneasy but he couldn't put his thumb on the cause. "Sure. Are you alright madame?" He asked concerned as well as curious. Evelyn forced on a smile worse than crying, and worse than death. "I'm better than ever" **** At the pharmacy, Evelyn dumped the various ointments onto the counter, cursing Sam vehemently in her heart as she watched the cashier sort out the product. "Alright ma'am, that will be 500 dollars. Will you pay by cash or bank?"she smiled politely but Evelyn didn't have the heart to reciprocate the smile. She felt her heart bleeding internally as the cashier swiped her card then returned it with a smile clearly happy that she made sales. _Her precious money!!_ As she walked out of the pharmacy, her mood was low and she almost cried out of grievance. What type of bad luck did she encounter today? "Oh my god! It's you, Bitch!" she heard a shrill voice scream behind her.Then she heard hurried footsteps before she turned them rolled her eyes in irritation. Her originally irritable mood flared when she turned back to see Laura Scott charging at her, her finger pointed in her direction almost tripping as she rushes towards her. Laura raised her arm, intending to hit Evelyn hard but one glance instantly made her arm drop. Instead, she gritted her teeth, cursing at her, her eyes red with rage. "You! You're the one who set me up"she cried out angrily remembering all what she had been through. Evelyn blinked playfully, suppressing her irritation as she realised that Laura was probably coming to the pharmacy. Perfect! "I don't understand what Miss Laura is saying could you please elaborate. Oh! I'm sorry, I meant Mrs. Laura. You should be getting married soon right?" she asked but it's as actually a guess but seeing Laura's reaction she knew she guessed right. Her family was sure to find someone to pin the pregnancy on. Laura trembled, her eyes almost rolling backwards in anger. "You...you..."she stammered too flustered to speak. Evelyn looked around, innocently pointing to herself, "Me?, what did I do wrong?"she asked everyone so innocently. She then pouted, grabbing Laura's fingers. "Mrs Laura seems to have a misunderstanding about me. How exactly did I set you up?" She questioned earnestly, as though impatient to make amends. Laura's eye twitched. How was she supposed to say Evelyn had arranged her getting raped and that she was pregnant with a bastard's child? now because of her, she was getting married to a random person to pin the pregnancy on And in public too! Evelyn gazed at Laura with fake concern her curious gaze almost piercing through her. "Are you okay? Your face seems unusually red."she pointed out the obvious and the latter began hyperventilating in anger. 'This bitch!' Laura pushed Evelyn away lightly in disgust but it sent Evelyn tumbling to the ground. Murmurs of dissatisfaction and disgust rose from passer-bys as they glanced at her disdainfully as they began mummuring and pointing fingers. '"Such a spoilt princess". "Bully". "Green tea bitch". "A classic case of fearing the strong yet bullying the weak"' Laura's face turned green as she stuttered, backing off in fear of the crowd. "I ...didn't..."she wanted to explain feeling wrong but Evelyn cut her off, wailing pitifully like she had seen the end of the world. "Don't be mad. I'll bow, okay? Don't starve me" she began saying trying to hold Laura's legs to plead but the latter kicked her away frantically. The crowd burst into outrage, casting murderous glares at Laura. Taking out their phones, they began to video the scene and attack her online. With a sly smile, Evelyn crept away sneakily into the crowd who were too pumped up to notice.

**** Now in a better mood after causing trouble, Evelyn walked home, whistling in peace. She seemed to have forgotten about her earlier bruise. As she got to the entrance of her campus, she met a black Hummer parked in front of the gate. Tyler Robinson hopped out, walking towards Evelyn in long strides. He took in her appearance,a faint light of lust flashed across his eyes but he hurriedly concealed in. "We need to talk" he finally said after regaining his composure "..." Evelyn stared blankly at him completely and utterly speechless by his confidence. She couldn't help but question her new life. Why did she keep seeing people she likes the least? It seemed like the heavens wanted to see her miserable. First Ava was in the same room as her, then Sam came home to cause trouble, then her wrist was bruised, she met that crazy Laura ok the street now this,.... What a cruel joke. Forget it! At this rate, it was destined she would go to bed with a stomach filled with grievances and an eye heavy with unshed tears. "I don't wish to talk to you" she said determined to walk past him but he continuously blocked her path he took seems determined to talk to her and she finally gave up, exhaling in exhaustion. "You have 5 minutes, nothing less and nothing more" she said then entered his car while he followed behind her. "Let's go to Miami restaurant to discuss" he said wanting to bring life to the engine. "I gave you five minutes of my time. If you use it to give me a joy ride then so be it" she told him and he stopped before turning to face her. Looking at her under the bright light, he couldn't help but be mesmerised. He wondered why he picked Ava over Evelyn. Anyone with eyes could tell that Evelyn worth more than a hundred Ava. Now, he felt regret a deep seated regret. "You have 4 minutes more" she said and he snapped out of his daze. He then stared at her intently before speaking. "Why do you hate me so much?"
