Ch1 EVELYN
Evelyn is sleeping peacefully, there is a knock on her door. She murmurs a small ‘come in’, her bedroom door opens revealing a maid.
″Good morning Martha” says evelyn in her cute little voice which is still groggy from sleep. “Good morning sweetie” cooed martha while looking at the little girl.
Martha loves evelyn like her own daughter, infact every servant in the household loves her.
She still remembers the day when evelyn’s father, henry, hired her as maid for evie (as her father likes to call her). She was really grateful to him for the job, she was in desperate need of money because of her husband’s illness.
Though Martha thought in the back of her mind that now she had to deal with a spoiled brat, all her thoughts were thrown out the window when she saw Evelyn. Instead of a rude brat,there was a fragile and incredibly adorable girl.
She shyly waved at martha and gave her a heart warming smile showing her cute dimples. Martha watched the girl in awe, silver blonde hair reaching her lower back and light silver eyes.
Evelyn was getting homeschooled, when martha heard that from other servants she asked them the reason. They said, one day evelyn came home crying and when her father was informed about it he wasted no time and reached home immediately.
He saw her crying on the bed, he ran towards her and scooped her in his arms. “Princess, shh its okay. Tell daddy what happened” henry cooed.
“Daddy a b-boy pushed me a-and his friends made fun of me” cried evelyn. Henry’s jaw clenched but he remained calm for his baby.
“Fun, for what?” he asked. “B-Because i don’t h-have a mom” replied evelyn and started crying even more.
Henry’s heart broke seeing his daughter crying like that. Evelyn’s mother, Alice, died in a plane crash when she was 4. He never married again, his love for alice never died.
After listening all this he came to the conclusion that she will get homeschooled, to which evelyn happily agreed.
Martha’s heart cleanched after listening that. From that day she decided, she will keep evelyn happy, always.

“Martha”
“Martha” Martha comes out of her day dreaming when she sees small hands waving in front of her eyes. “Are you okay” asks evelyn, concern laced in her words. She smiles at her and says “yes my dear, i’m fine”. Evelyn murmurs a soft ‘okay’.
“Come on sweetheart, take a shower. I’m making pancakes” says martha. Evelyn smiles after hearing ‘pancakes’, she shot towards bathroom before saying a loud ‘okay’. Martha chuckles seeing her like this and starts fixing her bedroom.
Evelyn comes downstairs to see the dinning table empty. She sits on her chair and wait for her pancakes. While sitting her eyes goes to the empty chairs around her. She knows that her father loves her alot, but his work always comes in between them. Her father is a well known lawyer, Henry Winters, he is the best lawyer in London. Evelyn knows that her father does some kind of bad work too.
She was sad when she got to know about it, she confronted him about it. “Princess, i know its wrong but its my work, my clients are very dangerous people, i can’t say no to them, plus i’m getting a good amount of money for that. Please sweetheart, you know that i have no one except you and I’m doing this to keep you happy” those were his words.
Evelyn sighs, thinking about these things makes her anxious because the only meaning of this was that her father’s life is always in danger. And she hated thinking about that. But she knows that her dad is right, his clients are really dangerous people.
Her father clients are the owners of the storms company, she doesn’t know their names but she knows that they are three brothers who are triplets. They are billionaires, but the whole london knows them because of their merciless ways to handle the people who comes in their way or double crosses them. A chill runs down to evelyn’s spine while thinking about those cruel people.
Her chain of thoughts breaks when a plate of hot pancakes is placed in front of her, she looks up to see martha smiling at her. Evelyn gives her a big smile and closes her eyes and starts saying her prayers inwardly.
Going to church and reading bible are one of evelyn’s favourite things to do. She doesn’t consider herself as a church girl, she just like doing these things because it clears her mind.
After her prayer evelyn looks at martha and says “thank you” and starts digging in her pancakes. Martha just looks at her with adoration.
