"Kiel, did you just hear what she said?" Paul asked the moment Evie was out of sight.
"Yes I did," Kiel responded dryly and walked away, "are you not going to apologize for being rude?" Paul asked almost screaming because Ezekiel was heading to his car.
Kiel halted in his steps and swiftly turned to see Paul standing beside him, panting a little bit because he ran to keep up Kiel's pace.
"Apologize?" Kiel snorted and looked away, "You are really funny Paul, I do not apologize to sluts. She is just trying to play hard to get, I know her type and how to handle them," Kiel stated proudly.
"Just because you saw her at the club the previous day does not guarantee that she is a slut and seriously speaking she looks genuine," Paul retorted.
"How do you she is genuine?" Kiel asked leaning on his car waiting for Paul to respond.
"My instincts tells me she is, even her dressing shows that she is not after you, maybe she is saying the truth when she said it is an arranged marriage," Paul replied.
Kiel was about to say something when he saw Evie in a Benz, they both exchanged glares before she drove away with great speed.
"I do not have time to waste Paul, if you do not have any other thing to say then I would be on my way," stated Kiel.
"You know you would never get married if you continue this way and this is the first time I am in support of one of your your bride candidates, remember that the kingdom needs you to get married," Paul said the last part in more of a whisper and then he got into the car.
Evie angrily got into her car, she did not drive off immediately because her mind did not seem to understand what just happened few minutes ago.
Did he just call her a slut? He must really be out of his senses, once she gets home she would tell her parents that she would never get married to that prideful asshole.
She started the car's engine and drove out of the car lot, her eyes came in contact with Kiel who was leaning on his car and seemed to be having a conversation with Paul.
His eyes were the things she liked the most, it had a way of drawing her to him but for goodness' sake why does this heartless creature have such beautiful eyes?
She drove off fastly not minding if she hit anyone or anything, she just wants to get out of here.

"How was it?" Her mother asked anxiously, Sonia had heard about the rumors about Ezekiel, but she chose not to believe.
Evie glared at her before finding her way to her room.
"Fuck!" She cursed as she shut the door behind her.
"F*ck dad! F*ck mom! F*ck Ezekiel! F*ck this entire messed up world!" She cursed loudly, she was beyond frustrated.
She sat on the sofa beside her window which gave view to the lonely streets, though the streets lights were on, it was eerily quiet and peaceful.
The memory of Ezekiel flashed back in her head.
"He is really prideful," she muttered under her breath, he called her a slut just because of her parents, or does he think she likes the idea of getting married to him?
He must really be full of himself, why does she even blame him? even herself testified that he is good looking.
His physical appearance was top notch, he had a well built body, his muscles and packs were the evidence of his gym activities, even in his shirt, it was still pronounced. His long legs were not to be exempted and he had a thick black hair which matched with his ocean blue eyes, his pointed nose did justice to his oval face. In one word he looked gorgeous but…
There was a 'but', his character was nothing to write home about,
No young lady would survive with him, he would definitely make them go crazy, even her first time meeting him was a disaster, no wonder he was rumored to be a gay and a devil's son.
"Young miss," Evie heard someone calling her, her gaze landed on the staff standing not too far away from her.
"Young miss, you have to join the family for dinner, order from sir," the staff said with a bow.
"Tell them I am not hungry," Evie ordered expecting the male staff to be on his way but he did not move an inch.
"Did you not hear me? Or did you suddenly become deaf?" Evie asked a little bit louder than usual.
"Young miss, unfortunately, I can not leave without you," he said with a bow.
"Do I look like I am ready to follow you, or do you want me to transfer my aggression on you? Get out of my room this instant!" Evie yelled but the staff was not moving.
"With all due respect, I am not leaving without you," though he was scared to death, he knew her father's anger was much more worse so he stood his ground.
"Alright then, grab a sit and wait for me," Evie said with heavy sarcasm, the male staff did not say anything hoping that she gets ready for dinner but the girl was doing otherwise.
She was going to bed, hell no! She can not go to bed now!
"Young miss, you…" he was cut by Evie.
"Hold it right there! I want to get my sleep, if you want to leave, you are free but if you want to be my watchman tonight then stay," Evie yelled and she closed her eyes.
Truth be told, sleep was miles away from her, she was just trying to frustrate the male staff, a wicked smile creeped on her face.
'Oh Evie! When did you become so heartless?' She asked herself
'No! No! She was not heartless, she just learnt to use her heart less' she reassured herself.
The young male staff was confused and did not know what to do? He could not stand here all night long watching her.
What would he tell her father? After gathering much courage, he left her room.
"Where is my daughter?" Richard asked.
"Sir, I am really sorry I could not bring her with me, she was too stubborn to listen to me and even went to bed," he narrated in fear.
"Leave," Sonia was quick to say because she knew her husband would not take it lightly on him.
"What has gotten into your daughter?" Richard asked, after the male staff had left, Sonia cocked an eyebrow, disbelief flushing her face.
"She is no longer our daughter but my daughter, if she is gentle, she is our daughter but if she is stubborn she becomes my daughter, of course she is my daughter whether stubborn or gentle," she rolled her eyes at him before leaving the dinning room.
'Evie has to marry Ezekiel Owens whether she likes it or not, is she not aware that he has lot to lose if she does not marry Ezekiel?
Evie is going to marry Ezekiel and there was no turning back at this one, she might see it as a problem but one day she would realize that he is doing her a favour,' Richard told himself.
Only if he knew he was sending her off to the lion's den, that he was selling his daughter into an unknown world. Only if he knew.
