ONLY YOU
1. A TOOL
« The clock was ticking like it would burst, the ever busy mansion fell cold, the servants had already left and the whole room was covered in darkness. I hated him. I hated the man seated in front of me. Why did he have to exist? Why did he have to enter my life and control it? The long stretched silence broke with the tapping of his long, slender fingers. »
...
I'm giving you 5 years to build up a successful career ❄️
...
If you fail to prove your worth to me in these 5 years, then you'll have to marry me like your grandfather said ❄️
« I gulped down a huge lump of saliva. I wanted to complain. Complain about a lot of things. Just 5 years? I'll need more time. I need resources. I need workers. I need money. But it's just that my mouth wasn't in good terms with my brain during this conversation. »
...
I won't wish you luck because you don't deserve it ❄️
...
But don't crumple my plans. I look up to what you're going to do next... ❄️
Evara Louis ( FL )
I would prefer you calling me Ms. Louis ❄️
...
You don't deserve this title ❄️
...
This title was built by grandpa and you're just ruining it ❄️
« I scoff to myself. 'Grandpa'. Even I didn't call him like this. I was strictly ordered to call him 'sir', 'master' or 'Mr. Louis'. But look at him. An outsider calling him like he's his grandfather and not mine. Despite all of his words, I'm just capable of giving a nod. »
Evara Louis ( FL )
I have one condition ❄️
Evara Louis ( FL )
You are not allowed to interfere in my business in these 5 years ❄️
« He pondered for some time and then just nodded. He then stood up, fixed his suit and left. »
« I clutched onto my dress while looking at his fading steps. This is what I am. »
« A tool everyone can use. »
Evara Louis ( FL )
* falls back on the couch *
Evara Louis ( FL )
Once I have power, I'll surely murder you, Dexter Morris
Evara Louis ( FL )
This is my promise to myself
« As all these murderous thoughts were gathering up in my mind, a maid walked up to me out of nowhere and told me that my so-called grandfather wanted to see me. »
Evara Louis ( FL )
* stands up *
Evara Louis ( FL )
💭 Let's see what he wants to say now
Evara Louis ( FL )
* knocks on the door *
Evara Louis ( FL )
* frowns *
Evara Louis ( FL )
💭 Cold as always
« I quietly enter and close the door. »
Evara Louis ( FL )
You wanted to see me, Mr. Louis?
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
* lifts his eyes *
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
I heard Dexter was here ❄️
2. WORTHY
« I tried hard not to roll my eyes when he said that and I just nodded. What else can he think except for Dexter. »
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
Why was he here today? ❄️
Evara Louis ( FL )
He postponed our marriage to 5 years
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
* punches the table *
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
WHAT DID YOU DO NOW THAT MADE HIM POSTPONE THE DATE OF THE MARRIAGE!!?? ❄️
Evara Louis ( FL )
* sigh *
Evara Louis ( FL )
Him postponing the date of marriage has nothing to do with me
Evara Louis ( FL )
He just wants to test me
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
* scoffs *
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
Test YOU? ❄️
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
Are you worthy of getting tested? ❄️
Evara Louis ( FL )
* clenches fists *
Evara Louis ( FL )
* ignores his last words *
Evara Louis ( FL )
He gave me 5 years to make a successful career
Evara Louis ( FL )
If not, I'll have to marry him
Davian Louis ( FL grandpa )
Tell him you don't need 5 years. After all, you're not capable if doing anything ❄️
Evara Louis ( FL )
Mr. Louis, I'm not going to reject this offer no matter what * straightforward *
« Saying so, I marched out of his study. Behind me, I could hear him shout my name and cursing me and my mother. »
« If only dad was alive, me and my mom wouldn't have to bear this much. »
Evara Louis ( FL )
* sitting on her bed *
Evara Louis ( FL )
5 years... * mumbles *
Evara Louis ( FL )
What career can make me rich in 5 years?
« While I was thinking, a knock on my door fell and I looked up. »
Evara Louis ( FL )
Come in
« The long skirt flowing in the wind, a soft smile and kind look. My mom. »
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
I heard that you bickered with him again
Evara Louis ( FL )
* nods *
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
What happened this time?
Evara Louis ( FL )
It's a long story, mom
Evara Louis ( FL )
Just know that he tried to snatch a chance from me which could save our lives
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
* sits down next to her *
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
* sigh *
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
Is it because of Dexter?
Evara Louis ( FL )
What else 🙄
Evara Louis ( FL )
Your father only knows one thing and that is Dexter
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
It's not true, darling
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
He likes you too
Evara Louis ( FL )
💭 Likes my foot!
Evara Louis ( FL )
I don't think he does
Evara Louis ( FL )
If he did then we wouldn't have to be humiliated every single day
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
At least he gave us a place to live
Evara Louis ( FL )
And made you work day and night like a maid
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
It's not that bad
Evara Louis ( FL )
Mom, stop it!!
Evara Louis ( FL )
Stop taking his side!!
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
* looks down *
Evara Louis ( FL )
If only dad was here
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
...
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
Your dad is dead, Evara
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
And dead people can't be brought back to life
« I could hear the brokenness in her voice but I didn't bother to hug her and just stayed quiet. »
3. DON'T MAKE ME WEAK
« After a long time of silence, mom finally spoke. »
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
Dexter is your childhood friend
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
You should atleast give him a chance
Evara Louis ( FL )
* scoffs *
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
Darling, please
Evara Louis ( FL )
Mom, I'm not that weak to surrender myself to him
Evara Louis ( FL )
Even if he was my childhood friend, he's now my enemy
Evara Louis ( FL )
I won't marry him
Evara Louis ( FL )
And that's my final say
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
But-
Evara Louis ( FL )
Mom, I don't want to hear anything
Evara Louis ( FL )
Don't make me weak
Evara Louis ( FL )
If I could make money then we could get out of here
Jessica Louis ( FL mom )
* looking at her *
Evara Louis ( FL )
Now please go back to your room and rest
Evara Louis ( FL )
I don't want quarrel with you
« She said nothing. Just stood up and left and I laid on the bed. I don't want to live like a prisoner anymore. Not until I'm alive and breathing. »
« I closed my eyes as tightly as possible and began to stir up a plan. A plan to be free and reach the heights. »
