Chapter 16

Evelyn's Pov.

I was at Atkins Air company again, this time I was careful. I avoided those that needed to be avoided like poison and did what I was supposed to do like a puppet.

Last night was like a dream come true though I panicked instantly when I saw myself in a very expensive room and began to cry that I was taken advantage of but it was the reverse case.

I was treated like a queen and served a luxurious meal that made me feel nervous, despite all my tricks in asking who was behind all of these kind gestures.

Today, I had to attend to some clients and send the report to the boss and it hasn't been hectic until a figure stood in line.

His hair was long, really long and dark but he wore a coat, using a hoodie to hide his face.

"Uhhmmm, sorry sir but can I know your name to register for your card and passport?"

He didn't give a reply but I could bet on my left ass that he was staring at me through that dark gaze beneath the cap and hood.

Everything he wore was black, from his jackets, inner shirts, pants and shoes. Custom made with a scaled design which was really beautiful, I couldn't even see a skin because he wore gloves and his neck was covered in his turtleneck attire.

"You're on the line Mister, Can you tell me?" I asked calmly despite finding his attitude so unprofessional.

"Give me any name you want." His deep voice made me freeze for a moment but I cleared my throat and shook my head.

"Pardon?"

"Anything Evelyn, I'll go with that."

The way he mentioned my name sounded so sensual, it reminded me of who I wasn't supposed to remember, but I did.

"It's against the rules, I'm sorry."

" Then break a rule for me.... again"

I got confused, he sounded so confident and familiar. Like he owned the world and he was going to show it soon enough.

"I've never broken a rule, Mr Mysterious. I'm not planning on trying."

"You did, you broke a rule by working here when you should be on a throne like a Queen, you're doing that again by violating a customer's rights and you're breaking the most important one by letting other men see your beauty.... it's defiling..."

My lips trembled at his words, I wanted to see his face. He had no right to talk and act like Draven, my fingers were shaking and I had to exhale deeply and play along.

"Fine, I have a name to call you. I hope it matches your identity"

He did not say a word so I scribbled down a name and passed to him.

"You'll use that"

"Draven??" He called out with a chuckle and my chest tightened, I gritted my teeth in anger.

"It's not funny, that's a very powerful name you're seeing." I glared at him and I could see his jaw twitching.

"Why use a powerful name for me, he seems special."

"Because he is special and I miss him...a lot. You happen to give that vibe, so go with Draven and have a safe journey ahead". I told him sincerely and stamped on the card, inputting some figures in the system.

"I missed you too Vixen." His voice echoed in my ears and my fingers went weak, raising my head up, I realized that he was gone and the next person in line was a fat ugly man who winked at me, stretching his card for registration and tears welled in my eyes.

"Draven..." I called out desperately, pushing the files away from me as I stood and ran out, ignoring the weird stares I got from the others and checking everywhere for him but it was as if he disappeared into this air and never existed.

I could bet on my life that he was the one, no one called me that except him. I'm so used to the pet names directed at me by those Kings. I even had to run out to check if I could see him but he was nowhere to be found until I felt a tap on my shoulders and it threw my gaze sharply, expecting to see him but got extremely disappointed to see Cassidy.

"What's wrong? You left your duty post Evie, you're in tears too." She groaned worriedly at me and I even let the tears pour out more.

"I saw him, Cass...." I choked on my words desperately and stared back at the streets.

"I saw Draven...I just want to go back." I sobbed bitterly in regret and all she could do was hug me as she wore a confused expression.

"Your Dragon King?" I nodded eagerly at her question and she chuckled.

"You're so delusional, you look crazy right now if I never knew you as my friend. " She added, making my heart wreck in pain and I bit my lips.

"The boss seeks your presence immediately, you shouldn't have run out like that, now the poor guy is worried." She said, dragging my hands backward while I kept looking back just in case I caught a glimpse of him.

I got to the office of the psychopath a few minutes later and his eyes were fixed on my stomach, I got uncomfortable and stared down too if there was any way I had mistakenly unbuttoned it but it wasn't the case.

His sharp jaw was perfect, I wouldn't lie, he could pass for a model but he was a jerk and not even on my list of Kings who could beat the whole world with their beauties.

I can't believe I'm comparing him to other men and before I could ask why I was summoned, he threw a file at my feet

"Sign it." He ordered and I raised my brows at him.

"What's it for?" I asked him and he smirked.

"What do you think? A contract. Be my wife and give me your child and I'll pay you in millions. You're suffering, I would transform your life while you give me the baby once he is three years, I'll pay for the child too....All I need is an heir."

I was too stunned to say a word and laughed.

"You want to buy my baby and take me as a contracted wife?"

"The money is good, you won't choose to stay with your father anymore and you can fuck who you want, I don't mind as long as I get my share. It's going to be a win-win after all..."

"You're so stupid!! The worst among men!" I seethed and went to pick the contract to tear it off but I watched in horror as the file went up in flames, burning before my eyes to ashes.
