Mr Evan’s little pet

Chapter 10

The knock on the door jolted me out of my slumber, and I groggily called out, "Come in." The door swung open, and two girls entered, carrying a beautiful dress. "Mr. Evan asked us to style you for your first day at school," one of them said with a bright smile. Before I knew it, I was being whisked away to a world of pampering and primping.

As I descended the stairs, my hair slicked back into a neat ponytail, I felt like a different person. The sunlight streaming through the windows highlighted my features, and Aunt Agnes's eyes lit up with delight. "Ally, you look like a fairy," she exclaimed, pulling me into the chair across from where Evan sat, munching on cookies and engrossed in his phone.

As I sat down, Evan raised his head, and our eyes locked in a piercing gaze. My heart skipped a beat, and my eyes slowly turned red as I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me. I quickly looked away, my mind racing with thoughts and my heart pounding against my ribs. Evan's presence seemed to electrify the air around us, making every moment feel charged with tension.

Before I could gather my thoughts, Evan stood up, his movements fluid and effortless. "I have something urgent to attend to," he said, his voice low and detached. As he walked away, the room seemed to relax, the tension dissipating like a sigh of relief.

I spent the next few minutes eating breakfast with Aunt Agnes, chatting and laughing as we sat together. Meanwhile, in his study, Evan's world was a different one. "Speak," he answered his phone in a husky voice, the sound sending shivers down the spine of the person on the other end.

"She was in the car accident 15 years ago," the voice on the other end said, the words painting a picture of tragedy and loss. "The cam footage shows your parents' car sliding, swerving off the road into an incoming vehicle. She was in that vehicle with her mother."

Evan's grip tightened around the phone as he listened, his mind racing with questions and emotions. "Evan, don't beat yourself about it," the voice said, trying to offer some comfort. But Evan's thoughts were consumed by the past, by the what-ifs and the maybes.

"But why was she in an orphanage?" he asked, his voice laced with frustration. "Find out about her family background and why nobody looked for her." The line went dead, and Evan's eyes narrowed, his mind working overtime to piece together the puzzle of my past.

As the minutes ticked by, Aunt Agnes pulled me along to the door, where a car was parked, and the other helpers were loading up some suitcases. "Is Evan traveling?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me. Aunt Agnes chuckled and pinched my cheeks. "No, silly, these are your stuff for your dorm."

My heart swelled with gratitude as I thought about Evan's kindness. He had taken me under his wing, provided for me, and was now sending me to school. One day, I wished to repay him for his kindness, to show him that I appreciated everything he had done for me.

As I turned to get into the car, Evan appeared out of nowhere, his eyes piercing mine as he said, "Get in." I waved goodbye to Aunt Agnes, feeling a mix of emotions as I sauntered off to the car. I slid in, feeling the soft leather envelop me.

Evan walked past me to the other side of the car, his movements fluid and effortless. As he got in, the car door closed behind him, and we sped off, leaving the Airy villa in the woods behind. The trees blurred together as we drove, and I felt a sense of excitement and nervousness building up inside me.

As we sped down the highway, the world outside a blur, I couldn't help but think about Evan. What was he thinking? What was he feeling? Was he as detached as he seemed, or was there more to him than met the eye? I sighed, feeling a sense of frustration wash over me. I didn't know him, and yet, I felt drawn to him in a way that I couldn't explain.

The car slowed down, and I looked up to see that we were approaching a beautiful campus. The buildings were modern and sleek, the grounds immaculately manicured. I felt a surge of excitement as I realized that this was my new home, at least for the next few months.

As we pulled up to the dorm, I felt a sense of nervousness wash over me. What would my roommates be like? Would I fit in? Would I make friends? The questions swirled in my mind as Evan got out of the car and walked around to my side.
