The next day was the court trial. It was still morning but the sun shone so bright one would mistake it for an afternoon.Outside the city courthouse, news vans filled the street and reporters waited with their microphones and cameras, ready to catch every scene. There was noise and the crowd was divided.Some were chanting Clara’s name while others were just there for the spectacle.Unaware of the reporters, Evan's car slowly came to a stop by the entrance. There was so much activity around, yet none seem to notice it. Inside the car, Evan sat in total silence with his lawyer.Dean sat well, holding a folder that looked heavier than it should.Evan, on the other hand, looked as if he were going for a casual meeting, calm with an unbothered expression.Just then, the door opened and he stepped out.On seeing him, the crowd erupted into disorder.“Mr. Lancaster! Did you really sue Miss Hilton out of revenge?”“Evan, is it true you forced her into silence?”“How do you respond to

It was towards evening as Evan sat in his penthouse, scrolling through the net. There was so many ridiculous news of him and Clara flying everywhere and all he could do was laugh. He continued scrolling, feeding his eyes and stopped when he came across a headline.“Oh? So now she’s emotional?” he muttered, feeling amused. “Clara, emotional? They really don’t know her.”He picked up the glass from the table and took a slow sip of wine. Just then, the door to the penthouse opened and someone came in.Evan didn’t look.he already knew who it was.“Sir,” his lawyer began, clearing his throat. “There’s a development regarding Miss Cla—”“I know,” Evan cut in lazily, swirling without lifting his eyes from his phone. “It’s all over the place.”The lawyer felt thrown off for a second. “Ah. Right. Of course.”Evan finally glanced up,“If she thinks crying in front of cameras is going to change anything, she’s delusional.”The lawyer stood awkwardly. “Should we respond to the… statements?”E

The next morning, Clara scrolled through her phone while in her apartment.They were everywhere.Every headline, every post she scrolled through.All she saw was Siena and Evan.Photos of them smiling. Holding hands. and even kissing.What got her more furious was when she saw the trending video of Marcus Garry, the man who helped her, getting arrested.All because of the same person which is Evan.She tossed the phone onto the couch. “I can’t take this anymore.”Her friend seated on the couch looked uneasy. “Clara, maybe just let it go. You have to move on”“No!” Clara cut in. “No one moves on when Evan is plastered on every blog like he’s some saint. "The friend breathed heavily. “ So what are you planning?”Clara grabbed a small envelope from the purse and pulled out a scan she’d printed weeks ago. It was a plan that Marcus Garry had set in motion for her to commence but seeing he will be away for a while, she decided to go through with the plan herself.It wasn't real but convi

Evan watched from the screens as intelligence agents, CIA operatives, and security personnel swarmed Marcus Garry’s multi-million dollar estate and took him out in cuffs.As they led him toward the waiting car, a massive crowd had gathered outside. People shouted, threw harmful objects and tried to get close.But the cops shielded the old man and took him into the car. Seeing this, Evan felt immense satisfaction He took a sip of the wine, his maid brought in earlier, gently gulping the whole content. He let out a hot breath as he dropped the glass, savoring the taste of the wine. Finally he has managed to bring down one for the ten. Nine more to go. He used his Marcus own strength which is the internet to bring him down, all thanks to Harland. He looked around and saw he was not there yet. His mind went back to Siena. He can't wait to see her. Just then , the door opened, and the guards that went to retrieve Siena came in one by one.His fear vanished when she came in, looki

The next day came fast as everyone gathered outside the Lancaster Monument Center, waiting. press cameras were set everyw as reporters wanted to catch the moment Siena would be released. Security personnel and intelligence agents were crawling all over the place, all waiting to see Siena return safely.There was a big billboard above displaying live commercials of Evan's cosmetics products. Everyone waited to see when it would happen. Meanwhile, at the same time, the captors entered the room and grabbed Siena. As they dragged her out, she squinted her eyes , adjusting to the sudden brightness. It was the first time she had been outside since her capture and the sunlight hurt her eyes.She blinked and looked around. The house she had been held in was a massive mansion with expensive cars lined up as far as the eyes can see. This sight proved her thought that someone powerful is behind them.They pulled her roughly toward the parking lot.She didn’t understand what was happening.

Videos of her last moments on the red carpet were replayed over and over again, gaining millions of views.Her social media fans flooded the internet, demanding answers. They even created an online movement with hashtags calling for her safe return, begging the authorities to act fast. Meanwhile, Siena was being held in a luxury basement. The room was clean, furnished, and even comfortable but the masked men and cameras in every corner reminded her she was a prisoner. MmBut to her amazement, her captors treated her politely. Her meals were brought on time and her comfort was kept in check.She was treated like an egg and no one raised a hand against her. But the men never left or stopped watching her.And when they noticed she was too scared to eat, one of the guards stepped forward.Slowly, he pulled his mask halfway down, showing part of his fac
