THE ICE PRINCE'S RUIN

A DEAL TO REMEMBER

Evelyn's POV

~5 years later ~

“Jonas you have a visitor.” The female police officer screamed at me as I stood up from a bed and walked over to the door. She placed the handcuff on my wrists and led me out to the visiting area.

I froze for a while, staring at the man who sat, staring at me. “I wasn't expecting him so who is he?” I asked.

“You should sit down before you ask questions because you do not have all the time in the world. Your visiting time is only 10 minutes but with Mr Augustine you have an exemption.” I scoffed and sat down with my hands on the table.

“So tell me why are you here? I mean after five years. You were aware five years ago that I was wrongly accused.” I started and he raised his brows.

“Be careful what you say, I wasn't aware but I knew that you did not have it in you to kill another human.” He replied. “I'm Adrian Augustine.” He started and I nodded.

“I know, why are you here?” I asked, clearly not interested in whatever he wanted to say. I looked at him,his hair was neatly styled,his tuxedo smelled richly of money and his lawyer was almost invisible to me. Adrian is a handsome man and that's something I've registered in my head.

Ever since his days as the country's best hockey player,he has been every little girl's dream,not until his nephew took over from him.

“How badly do you wanna get out of here?” He asked and I chuckled. “First of all,I was framed so I guess that should be your cue on what my answer will be.” He nodded and passed a document to me.

I took it, flipped it open and glanced at the content. I froze as our eyes connected. “What's this?” I asked and he sighed.

“Your ticket to becoming free, see this as my way of helping you.” I passed the document back to him and stood up. “I think you should consider my offer and I really think you should take the offer up.” He said and I scoffed again.

“I'm not interested.” I said calmly and was about walking back to meet the officer when his next statement stopped me.

“I know what Dylan did, I'm just typing to correct it.” I turned to look at him and nodded. “So does Dylan know about this deal?” I asked, walking back to meet them as I sat down.

“He doesn't and he really isn't interested in getting you out of here. According to the news he spread in school,you were an easy fling.” I flinched at his statement and I saw him smile a little.

“You're enjoying this.” I whispered but he shrugged. “You're to infiltrate La Quinta, get information about their operations and I'll take it from there.”

“And in exchange I'll be a free lady.” He nodded and turned to look at his lawyer.

“If you're interested,you need to sign here, and here.” He said, flipping the document to show me the signature spot. I took the pen and signed on the paper, refusing to break eye contact with him.

“Nice, get ready for my call. It'll be soon.” He said and walked away with his lawyer as I was escorted back to my prison cell.

Exactly one week after that visit, Evelyn Jonas died. I sat in the waiting room of the hospital, awaiting the doctor who's going to conduct the surgery for me.

I stared at the phone in my hand with the news headline glaring at me.

EVELYN JONAS DIES IN PRISON AFTER A FIRE OUTBREAK IN HER CELL,IT TURNS OUT…..

That's what they believed,that I had snuck in a lighter and burned myself to death but in the real sense, Adrian had flown me out to India to get cosmetic surgery.

“The doctor will see you now.” The nurse said as I picked my purse and walked in. A few hours later, I stared at myself in the mirror and I couldn't recognize the lady staring at me.

My eyelids were more pronounced,my lips had enough fillers in them,my cheekbones were sharper,my eyes had a different shade of lenses. In all,I looked totally different from Evelyn Jonas.

“You'll go by the name Skyler Thomas,and this is your job description.” Adrian said, handing me a folder as we got out of the car.

“That's alright as long as I don't get sent back to jail.” He nodded and was about getting into his car again but he paused.

“What do you plan on doing when our deal is over?” He asked and I sighed. “I'll get revenge on the people who framed me, I just hope you're not one of them.” I saw the shock flash across his face before he chuckled and got into his car.

I stared at the building before me. Black as sin,the name LA QUINTA stared at me boldly as I walked in. “Hi,I'm here to see Mr Pedro La Quinta.” I said as the receptionist raised her head to look at me.

“Just one moment.” She said and typed something on her system. “Third floor first office.” she said with a polite smile.

I knocked on the door and heard a faint “come in,” but nothing prepared me for what I walked into. Two ladies were on their knees, kissing each other and groping each other's boobs. I froze but Pedro stood up.

“Get out.” He ordered the ladies and immediately,they hurriedly left the office.

“You look just like him.” I heard him whisper. “What did you say?” I asked and he shrugged.

“It's nothing, come on you must be my new personal assistant, it's nice to finally meet you.” He said and I smiled and stretched out my hand but he left it hanging.

He carried a pile of files and with a loud thud,they hit the table.

“Get to work.” He muttered, locking gazes with me.
