Lord Dylans' pet

Evie Wiggs, the daughter of Lord Fredrick who was the former Lord of the country before he died. Her mother who was Lady Elizabeth, the Lady was well for her ruthless behavior and this made the people talk about her, even after her death. Back then, Evie had her secret lover who often suffered the wrath of Lady Elizabeth. Her secret lover was a simpleton, a young skinny boy who cared for their horses. Dylan. They usually rode on horses to the highest mountain to get away from the Lady. The death of the Lord and Lady was a tragic one for the Wiggs family. People began mocking and spreading bad rumors about them. Everyone she knew and loved let her, including her lover. Her lover left the country when she least expected it. It was rumored that he was banned years ago by Lord Frederick. Oh yes, it was true Lord Frederick banned him, to secure a brighter future for his daughter. Three years he came back to claim what's rightfully his in a revengeful way, after learning the truth about Evie Wiggs. ……………………………………………………………………………… "Dylan, we'll destroy ourselves," she said. "Then let's do that, again and again," he said caressing her hair. "You are the only one in this country, who has the right to call me by my name." She took a step back and the wall hit her back. He placed his hands above her shoulder, trapping her between himself and the wall. Then he began leaving wet trails on her neck, leaving her insides on fire. Standing right in front of her was no longer her lover she once knew, but the devil himself. She swallowed nervously as soon as he drew her to himself. He wrapped his arm around her and nuzzled against her hair. "Did you perhaps, use lavender?" he asked. "Yes," she said with a hint of nervousness in her tone. "You never change," he said tightening his grip on her. And his effect on her never changed, she hated it. At that moment, she knew what he was capable of. He could have anyone else, but he chose to have her and destroy her. And she couldn't do a thing about it.

Chapter 3

Evie had just arrived from her house service from where she worked and she was exhausted.

After eating and washing up, she got downstairs.

There was a little knock on the old door and she got up to answer it.

Looking through the peephole, she saw a guard standing outside.

She then opened it.

"The duke of Flummingtin is requesting for you to come to a dinner party tonight," he said and handed me an envelope.

I reluctantly took it and scanned it before nodding.

Then I shut the door close and brought out the paper in the envelope.

It read thus: Miss Evie Wiggs, you've been invited to the dinner party tonight.

Host of the party: Lord Dylan.

There's no way she was gonna meet Dylan.

And she's doing all this to get married to the duke.

Yeah, he's the man that's been asking her.

She sighed as she dropped the paper and its envelope on the table and then went upstairs.

She went through her wardrobe in search of a perfect dress.

At last, she picked out a glittery blue cocktail gown her mother had bought for her years ago.

It was a little tight on her but that's all she has got.

She then went through her mother's jewelry box.

The pieces of jewelry were worth nearly a thousand dollars each.

But each time Sophia brought up the topic of selling them, Evie declined, stating that it was her mother's possession and she wouldn't sell it for any amount at all.

She carefully poured them on the bed and began trying them out.

She finally picked the golden chain with blue crystal as its pendant and a diamond earring, with a silver wristwatch.

Then she took one of her mother's shoes and wore it.

She smiled as she looked at herself in the broken mirror.

She had her mother's silver eyes and brown hair just like Junior's own.

She let her long brown hair pinned behind her hair and she applied lipstick.

She had to look attractive to the duke if she wanted to get married to him.

Sophia and Junior who had gone to the park got back home and met Evie.

"I'm going to a dinner party I'll be back before eight," Evie said.

"I wish I could see you, I bet you look dazzling," Sophia said grinning.

Evie knew her grin, the type with a hint of sadness.

She hugged her sister and blinked back the tears that were building up.

"Take care," Evie said.

She got out and waited patiently for the duke to arrive.

She tapped her feet on the earth as she stared at the wristwatch.

Is she gonna wait till eternity?

Just then the duke's horse carriage pulled up in front of her house.

She managed to smile to impress the duke.

She got in with the help of the guard and met the duke grinning lustfully at her.

"Darling, you're looking gorgeous tonight," he said and she muttered a "Thank you."

The duke placed his wrinkled hand on her lap and she shivered a bit but she covered it up with a smile.

She wondered how she'd survive when she gets married because she'll have to bear kids.

Then the horse carriage stopped and she peeped out to see a huge building in front of her.

The duke took her hand and they got out together.

Evie stared at his large, protruding, rotund stomach.

It disgusted her so much by standing beside a man who had three wives already.

He then wrapped his hand around her waist and drew her to himself as soon as they got in.
