Undesirable

Ch 6 - Haywire Emotions

I was glad we reached home. I so wanted to rid of him but as soon as I tried to open the door I heard click and I turned to look at him and he said "Eve.. whatever happens between us will stay with us and if you tried to tell anyone someone dear to you will have to pay the price".

I nodded but seeing his clenched jaws I replied "Yes Steven. I won't". He pulled me to him and kissed on my forehead before letting go. I opened the door and ran as fast as I can.

Evelyn's POV

I reached my room shut the door and locked it. I leaned on it and released a breath that I didn't know I was holding. I let myself go weak and fell on my knees. I would have continued when I felt a hand on my shoulder making me tense and I snapped my head to look at the owner to see my husband looking at me with a frown.

If my relationship with him would have been like other couples I would have melted in his embrace. I lift myself up and ran to the bathroom and shut the door locking it shut. I knew this is going to be my life my burdens and I am alone in this. Even though I am married I am the one who is married not him.

I heard banging on the door and heard him say "Evelyn what happened?"

"It's nothing you need to worry Mr. Evans" I said quickly so that I can be in peace.

"Are you serious? I am asking this because I saw a fully grown woman crying and falling so don't tell me it's nothing" He yelled.

"I..." I quickly thought and said the first thing I thought of "Mr. Evans... I.. I am on my periods and I had pain in my stomach so I fell " I replied so he will buy it.

"Dammit Evelyn, you had me worried for once. Anyways since you are going to be emotional and what not females feel these days, I am moving to my room" He said and walked away.

I sighed in relief but then I realized if he is not here then Steven would get the perfect opportunity to come in my room. I was terrified of the thought.

"Mr. Evans, if you move out, your family will get doubts about our relationship" I said opening the door peeking out.

He stopped in his steps and groaned and said "Look, Evelyn, I know but I can't handle emotional stuff like that".

"Don't worry Mr. Evans I won't bother you with myself" I said.

"Fine... I guess I have no choice" He said and went down to the study table to start working on his things.

I sighed in relief that he won't leave and I was safe in my room. I know he does not treat me any better but given a choice between him and Steven, I would gladly choose him. I filled water in the tub and added the herbs which were there on the cabinet and entered the tub to soothe myself before I again face him and his family.

I didn't know when I fell asleep because I woke with a knock on my door. "Evelyn are you still in there" He asked.

"Yes, Mr. Evans just a minute I will be out" I replied.

I pulled the rob from the counter and wrapped myself and another towel on my head I stepped out. I didn't expect Mr. Evans to be waiting outside. 

"Evelyn... what.." He said but when he looked at me his gaze raked up and down my body and then he moved in the bathroom and closed it.

I rushed to the walk-in closet to dress in an evening simple green dress so I can make the appearance for dinner.
