Chapter 20 - Scheming Plans 2

 Evie gave a smile to Ryan then frowned when he didn't return her smile. "What stuff do you want me to get for you." "Oh dear it's for you I brought you something so you should check it out." Mrs. Reign said. "What is it mom?" Izabelle eagerly asked. "I wanted to give her our family crest as a gift from me." "That's nice." Kyle commented.

 "Thank you, I will go get it now." Evie started to go upstairs while the rest of the family went to sit on the dinning table."You should mind your steps so you won't have to fall."Rayla said when Evie was already at the top. "Maybe you should be the one to watch your back you are just a glorified baby mama not even a specified baby mama so your days in this house is obviously numbered." 

Evie said smiling. "Oh and besides even if I fall I have the whole Reign family to pick me up." Evie said flipping her hair to the side and walked away smiling triumphantly. "Let's see if the Reign's can pick you up once I'm done." She gave a wicked smile. She looked at the family that's sat downstairs.

 Evie found a small velvet ring box on the table. She opened the box and inside was the Reign's family crest in it. 

 "Why did you give that gift to Evie." Mrs. Reign smiled. "As you know our family crest is sacred and can't be given to other people outside, I gave her our family crest." Izabelle eyes were wide as saucers. "Our family crest.!!" Izabelle looked at Ryan but he only shrugged. "I didn't know that you trusted her this much." 

 Ryan said indifferently. "She is going to the wife of the first son of the Reigns. I am giving her the power needed against the types of Rayla." Mrs. Reign said as a matter of fact. Kyle looked at Ryan but he was staring at the direction Evie had gone. His eyes caught a single pearl on the floor. "What are you thinking about Ryan." Ryan gave a sharp turn to Izabelle's direction. Not saying but clearing his throat he drank water.

 Ryan wondered why a pearl was on the ground. His mind played a scene of Evie stepping on the pearl and falling down because of it. He shakes his head trying to think of another thing. But his mind wouldn't listen to him. "Stop it Ryan, since when do you care about her?" He tried to focus on what his family was talking about. His eyes unknowingly went to the pearl.

Evie was walking down the stairs staring intriguingly at the crest in the ring box. She didn't see the spilled water and broken pearl necklaces on the floor. Ryan saw Evie coming down staring at the crest. Warning bells rang in his head. He jerked himself off the chair shouting Evie's name. "Evie stop." Just as he called her name she looked up to see his face, she slipped on the water first.

 Trying to keep holding the crest and still gain her footing, she couldn't manage but try to hold on to the handrail. She slipped on the pearls this time and Ryan rushed up to help her. She fell on the stairs and Ryan rushed to help her. Kyle and Izabelle stood up to help Evie. "How could this have happened." Mers. Reign rushed to looked at Evie who was crying in pains while in Ryan arms.

 "Get the keys Izabelle, we need to go the hospital now." Ryan walked to towards the door quickly. Looking at what was happening, Rayla gave a dissatisfied look. "I thought Ryan didn't like her so what's up with his attitude." She turned to leave quickly so no one would suspect her but somebody had already seen her.

 At the hospital....

 "Nothing much, just some bruising and a broken ankle due to trying to break the fall, a few days of rest should be able to get her on her feet and some other drugs that I will prescribe now for her." The doctor said after Evie had slept. "Thanks to your quick reaction the fall wasn't that bad." Mrs. Reign gave out a breath of relief. 

 "That's good then." Izabelle said. "Thank you doctor Kyle here will follow you to get the prescriptions." "Okay." Just as Kyle and the doctor left. Danny, Lana and Dylan rushed in. "What happened to her?" Lana anxiously asked. "She fell on the stairs." "That bad why is she unconscious?" Danny asked next. "The doctor put her to sleep." 

 Dylan said nothing but only squeezed her hand. "How did this happen?" He asked after a few minutes had passed from staring at her. "Apparently water was spilled on the stairs and a broken pearl necklace was found." Dylan looked at Ryan. "Spilled water,broken pearls, how can both be there at the same time, don't the maids in your home know how to clean." Dylan was almost shouting at Ryan.

 Lana held his hands to stop him. "At least she okay." She tried to pacify him a little. "But..." He tried to speak again but she cut him off. "Why don't you and Danny go out for fresh air." Danny gave a look that said i-want-to-stay-here. But she shot him a murderous look. "Let's go Dylan." They both left the room.

 "I am sorry for his outburst but I don't blame him, Evie has never fallen on a stair not for once so seeing her in this condition is really painful and saddening." Lana tried to apologise not understanding why she was apologising for. "We should be the one apologising this happened in our home." Izabelle said. "But still Dylan is indeed right, theys no way your home is going to have a broken pearl necklace along with spilled water on the floor, 8 mean not even one your maid had the initiative to tidy it up."

 She looked at Ryan. "She went to your home right along with you, Rayla would probably have seen her." "Hold on are you suggesting that Rayla night have done that, she is the mother of my child there is absolutely no way she can do that." "Are you seriously trying to defend her, fine you know her enough to tell she can't do that but how can you be so show, look at Evie it's not her fault that you slept with some psycho but she paying the price."

 "You can't accuse people falsely Lana." Mrs. Reign said also doubting Lana. "I am not accusing her, she is a psychopath and she can actually do anything to people." "I said---" " Ryan stop, I did see Rayla there looking down at us and turning to quickly leave like she didn't want to be caught at the scene." Izabelle said stopping Ryan from defending Rayla anymore. Ryan only looked at Evie not saying anything else.
