Chapter 3 You Are Not A Good Lawyer, But A Good Liar

Evelyn quickly pulled back from Valentino before their lips could touch. She took a step back and struggled to calm her rapid heartbeat.

She didn't understand what happened to her since she didn't usually behave this way. He has made her unable to think clearly. 'He belongs to my mom, not mine,' She told herself.

"Can we go back now? I-I have to study. I have a test tomorrow," Evelyn lied to him. He smiled casually, as if nothing had happened while she was still trying to clear her head.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a test tomorrow?" he asked.

"I-I forgot to tell you," Evelyn replied, avoiding his eyes.

"Then let's go back now," he said. Even though he knew that she was telling a falsehood, he decided against exposing her lie. He took her hand gently and led her out of this place.

*******

Valentino was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed inside his luxurious apartment. He looks so hot in his black satin nightgown. He drank the glass of wine in his hand with his mind filled with Evelyn.

His eyes shone devilishly, thinking of her. Her beautiful face and sexy body fascinated him. She was indeed a beautiful, untouched flower that made him crave to f*ck her and torture her in his hands.

The sound of the doorbell broke through his thoughts, making him look at the door. He wondered who was behind the door. He put the glass in his hand on the table next to the sofa and stood up, walking to the door.

"Eva," he said, feigning surprise as he opened the door.

She smiled sweetly at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I came here as soon as I finished the meeting. I'm so sorry for not having dinner with you," she said in an apologetic tone with her eyes fixed on his.

He gave her a fake gentle smile. "It's okay. Come on in," he said. She nodded with a smile and took her arms from around his neck. She walked into the room and sat on the sofa.

He closed the door, walked over, and stood before her. "I'll get you a drink," he said.

She suddenly grabbed his arm just as he was about to take a step and made him sit on the sofa. She sat on his lap with her body facing his. "I don't want to drink. I want you now," she said lustfully, looking into his eyes.

She kissed his lips in a hungry kiss. Her lustful breath fanned his face. He closed his eyes, holding back his disgust toward her. Suddenly, Evelyn's face appeared in his mind. His heart fluttered whenever he saw her whether she had makeup or not. He recalled the kiss they didn't have in the nightclub. Suddenly, he felt that the person kissing him right now was Evelyn.

He opened his eyes as Eva kissed his neck while her hands were traveling on his hard chest. Lust and desire smolder in her. All her body clenched and her pussy got wet. She untied the belt of his nightgown in a quick motion. She couldn't wait to suck his cock and put it in her pussy.

"Eva, wait," he said, holding her arm as she squeezed his cock and his balls under his briefs. She looked him in the eyes while holding back her lust.

"I hurt my back," he said honestly.

Eva's eyes widened in surprise. "How did you get hurt?" Despite her concerned tone, her eyes were still filled with lust.

He seemed to think of something interesting. The man's mouth curved upward in a half smile. "I saved a little wild cat."

At that, Eva shook her head and sighed helplessly. "Ugh, you're always so kind-hearted."

She wrapped her arms around his neck with her flirtatious eyes fixed on his. "Then you have to pay for making me wait," she said in a sexy voice.

"Just wait and see. I'll pay for that with something you'll never forget," he said. His voice was deep and gravelly. She smiled, biting his lip. "I can't wait for that," she said in a sexy whisper. He smiled gently at her with an evil look in his eyes.

She then stood up from his lap and sat next to him. "Oh, yes," she said into his face as she remembered something. "I read the news. You won Lisa's case." He nodded his head as he tied the belt of his nightgown.

"Why would you want to help her? You should help her boss. You'll get a lot of money from him," she said, curious.

He turned his head to her. He could see the evil and greed in her eyes. "I helped her not without reason. I gained popularity by winning her case. Everyone knows I am a good lawyer," he lied to her.

She chuckled. "You are a devil. You are not a good lawyer, but a good liar," she teased him. He responded with just a smile.

She smirked as she looked ahead. "That girl is so stupid. Why did she have to kill herself just because her boss raped her? She should have used her body to earn a lot of money rather than of being a corpse," she said without pity.

He stared at her with anger, hatred, and disgust filling his eyes. His face turned into a smile as she looked back at him. "He not only raped her once, but many times. He also abused her. But I don't care about her. All I care about is money and popularity," he said. She smiled back at him."Me too," she said.

He chuckled before he looked at the clock. "It's late now. You need to sleep or you'll be late for your business trip tomorrow," he said into her eyes. She held his arm with a pleading look and said, "Please ... come with me to San Francisco."

"You know I can't go with you. I have to work."

"I'll be dying if I'm not with you in a week."

He gave her a fake gentle smile and put his hand on her cheek. "It's only a week. I'm yours. I'll be with you forever," he said in a soft voice. She paused, staring at him with sparkling eyes. His gentle gaze and his words had made her heart melt. She didn't realize that all along she had fallen into his trap.

"I love you so much. You are everything to me," she said from the bottom of her heart. "I love you too," he said with a lie.He then kissed her forehead gently and looked back into her eyes. "Go to sleep now. I'll be with you soon. I still have something to do with my work," he said.

She nodded at him with a smile. "Good night," she said, and pecked his lips. "Good night," he replied.

She then stood up from the sofa. He watched her walk into the bedroom with his cold gaze. He clenched his jaw in anger. He couldn't wait to make her suffer at his hands.

Evelyn's POV:

I stared at the book on the table in front of me with dark circles around my eyes. I couldn't sleep last night. I see Valentino in my mind every time I close my eyes.

I can still feel his touch on my skin. I can't forget the way he looked at me that made my heart flutter and made my cheeks burn. The sweet smell of his cologne still lingers on my body, which makes me feel like he's still with me.

I woke up from my thoughts in startle when I heard the bell ringing. My class is over. "Alright girls. I'll see you on Monday. Have a nice weekend," my teacher said before she walked out of the classroom.

"Evelyn." I turned to my left as Lucia called my name. "Are you alright? You don't look like you slept well." I tried to smile at her. "I'm fine. I read books all night," I lied to her. She smiled back at me and put the book on the table in front of her into her bag, and so did I.

We both stood up from our chairs and walked towards the parking lot. We stopped our steps with curiosity filling our minds when we got there. All the girls looked excited and also amazed, like they were looking at a movie star.

My eyes suddenly opened wide with my heart racing as I looked in the direction they were looking. I saw Valentino standing next to his luxury black sedan in his black suit. All eyes were on me as he waved his hand at me with a smile on his handsome face.

"Oh, my God! Isn't he the guy who saved us? You were upset that he talked to you as though he was your dad. Why's he here?" Lucia asked without blinking, staring at him with sparkling eyes.

Smiling bitterly, I explained, "It turns out that the guy who saved us that night is going to by my stepfather soon. He's my mom's boyfriend."

I surprised her by saying that. She was speechless as she almost dropped her jaw.

"I have to go now," I said hastily and walked towards Valentino, leaving her, who still couldn't believe what she had heard.

"Why are you here?" I asked in nervous as I stood before my future stepdad. He gave me his gentle smile. "I'm here to pick you up," he replied.

"Where's Edgar?" I asked, curious. Edgar is my driver.

"He can't pick you up today. He has something to do," he said and smiled. Somehow, I can feel there is something behind his smile.

He then opened the front door of the car for me. "Shall we?" he asked me.

"No, thanks. I can take a taxi home. I don't want to inconvenience you." I immediately refused, shuddering at the thought of that kiss yesterday. I didn't want to go anywhere near this man again.

Valentino nodded thoughtfully. "Well, I don't mind standing here and arguing with you a little longer. I'm sure your classmates are curious about our relationship."
