Chapter 255 - Cold treatment

" I am leaving tomorrow." Edward said.

" Leaving?" Evie asked.

Edward nodded his head and said," Yes, I will hand over all my work to the VP of our company and then I'll take a long break to clear my mind."

" How long?" Evie asked.

" I don't know. I need lots and lots of time to get you out of my system." Edward said.

Pausing for a while, he continued," And if I manage to get you out of my system, I'll come back and get engaged to my father's business partner's daughter." 

" Without love?" Evie asked.

" Maybe, I mean I haven't met her yet so what if she is nice? What if she makes me fall for her too like you did?" Edward asked.

Without saying anything, Evie rolled down the window and looked outside.

After some time, Edward stopped the car and said," We are here." before stepping out of the car.

Evie took a deep breath and got out of the car.

Passing her the suitcase, Edward said," Here is your suitcase and go safe okay? Drop me a text when you reach there."

Evie nodded her head and said," Okay."

Giving her a hug, Edward said," Take care of yourself."

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Evie asked," Is this the last time I am seeing you?"

" I don't know, maybe." Edward said.

Tightening her grip around him, Evie buried her head in his chest and said," I'll miss you Ed."

Pulling her away, Edward wiped her tears away and said," You are going to be fine Evie, you are a strong woman." before kissing her forehead. 

" Are you really not going to be here when I come back?" Evie asked.

Edward shook his head and said," No, I won't be here. It's time for us to move on and find someone whom we can actually stay together with."

" So are you going to hug someone else like you hug me?" Evie asked.

Edward smiled and said," You should go otherwise you'll miss your flight." 

Wiping her tears away, Evie took a deep breath and left.

After she left, Edward sighed and boarded his car.

….

Silvia and Kevin's apartment.

Not long after Evie left, Kevin arrived home with a shopping bag in his hand.

Placing the bag on the couch, Kevin said coldly," Wear this and get ready for the party, we will leave at 6." Before walking towards the guest room.

Silvia quickly got up and asked," Did you eat anything."

" I am not hungry." Kevin said coldly.

" But-" before she could finish her sentence, Kevin left.

Silvia sighed and sat down on the couch. Kevin seemed really angry and she wasn't liking it. 

Rubbing her stomach, Silvia groaned in frustration. She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday night except for a small piece of a leftover sandwich and was feeling very hungry.

Ignoring the strong hunger pangs, Silvia picked up the bag and took out the dress that Kevin had bought for her.

It was a long red colour slit off shoulder dress paired with a set of diamond earrings and pendant.

Brushing her hands through the dress, Silvia smiled before walking towards her room.

….

Inside the room.

Dressed in a black suit, Kevin entered the room to grab his watch. 

Silvia, who was struggling with the zipper of her dress said," Kev, can you help me with this?" Before shifting her hair to the side exposing her fair and smooth back to him.

Without saying anything, Kevin helped her pull the zipper and left saying," I'll be waiting downstairs."

Silvia sighed and helplessly shook her head. She had to work hard.

….

Outside.

" Kev, where is Silvia?" Janet asked.

" She is getting ready." Kevin said.

" You see that? Only you are the one who was getting impatient. Look at Kevin, he is waiting for Silvia patiently." Martha said.

" We are seriously getting late." Chris said.

" Yes, that place is quite far and will definitely take more than 45 minutes to reach there." Matt said.

Just then Silvia stepped out of the building looking beautiful and alluring at the same time.

The red dress fitted her body quite well and the slit was making her look s.e.xy. Those diamond earnings gave her the glam look and the sparkling black colour purse completed her look. She had very light makeup on and had her hair tied into a loose bun.

" Oh my God Sil, you look beautiful." Janet said.

" You are looking gorgeous." Martha said.

Silvia smiled and was about to thank them when Kevin said," We are getting late, let's leave." Before walking towards his car.

" Is he still angry?" Janet asked.

Silvia sighed and nodded her head.

" He seems really angry." Martha said.

" We had a joint meeting today so I had to go to Glory. Kevin was literally shouting at every employee who was inside the meeting room. The employees were so scared that they did not even make any sound." Rocky said.

" Seriously, what did you do Sil?" Chris asked.

" I just said that I don't want a wedding banquet." Silvia said.

" What?" Everyone shouted in unison.

" But why? Why wouldn't you want one?" Bella asked.

" Are you out of your mind Silvia?" Janet asked.

" Oh no wonder he is so pissed." Matt said.

" Let's discuss this later, we should leave." Chris said.

….

Outside the venue.

" We are here." Kevin said coldly before getting down from the car.

Silvia quickly got off and hooked her arms around his.

" What are you doing?" Kevin asked.

" What? Aren't we supposed to enter this way? I mean we are a newly married couple and we should look like one." Silvia said.

Removing her arm, Kevin said,'' Don't you want to keep our relationship a secret? Since you don't want everyone to know that I am your husband so you better maintain some distance otherwise people will know the truth." Before increasing the gap between them.

" Kev I-"

" Ahh look Kevin is here." Someone shouted.

Just then everyone started walking towards them.

" Ahh is she sister-in-law?" A man asked.

" No wonder Kevin looked like a love struck fool. Sister-in-law is a real beauty." Another man said.

Looking at Silvia, Kevin said," She is Silvia my- well, you all know who she is."

Silvia frowned slightly when Kevin did not refer to her as his 'wife' in front of everyone.

" Ehh Kevin there is a problem." Someone said.

" What is it?" Kevin asked.

Looking at Silvia, the man hesitantly said in a very low voice," Your ex, Emily is here too with her husband. Her husband's father happens to be an ex army too so he brought them here. I hope you don't have a problem, especially sister-in-law."

" She doesn't have any problem." Kevin said.

Silvia frowned and glared at him. Of course she had a problem with his ex being here too. What was Kevin trying to do? Their fight was a different thing and his ex also being here under the same roof as him was a different thing.

" Ahh thank God, we were so worried about it." The man said.

Just then Matt, Chris, Rocky arrived along with their wives.

" Hey Matt, it's been a long time." Someone said.

As the men got busy talking to their old comrades and other people, the ladies decided to get themselves a drink.

" I heard Emily is here too." Martha said.

" That bitch is here too? Ahh what a pity." Janet said.

" Wait, Emily is Kevin's ex right?" Bella asked.

" Yes she is." Martha said.

While they were busy talking about Emily, Silvia was busy looking at her handsome husband who was busy talking to someone with a wine glass in his hand but Silvia wasn't the only one who was staring at Kevin.

A woman dressed in green was ogling over Kevin for a really long time.

After being forcefully brought to the party by Richard, Emily excused herself and was currently sitting all alone trying very hard to ignore all the judgemental eyes and pointing fingers.

After gulping down her eighth glass of whiskey, Emily saw Kevin who was looking more handsome and outstanding than the last time she had seen him.

For all the men she had been with during her extra marital affair, Emily had always fantasized about Kevin. 

Emily missed his touch, his gentleness and his charm. She was also determined to do anything she could to bring him back into her life.

…..

Half an hour later.

Looking around, Silvia frowned when she did not see Kevin anywhere. 

Walking towards Rocky who was talking to someone not too far away from her, Silvia asked," Rock did you see Kevin?"

" Kevin? Umm I guess I saw him going to the washroom a while ago." Rocky said.

Silvia nodded her head and left.

…..

Outside the washroom.

Standing outside the gents washroom, Silvia contemplated and thought for a while but decided not to enter it.

" Excuse me." Silvia said when she saw a man entering the washroom.

" Yes." The man asked.

" Can you please check if my husband is inside or not? His name is Kevin. " Silvia said.

The man nodded his head and entered the washroom.

After sometime, he came out and said," No he is not inside."

Silvia smiled and said," Thank you so much." Before entering the ladies washroom.

….

Inside the ladies washroom.

Placing her purse on the marble slab, Silvia was washing her hands when she heard faint m.o.a.ning sounds from the last cubicle.

Wiping her hands with a tissue, Silvia made her way towards the last cubicle when the m.o.a.ning sounds became louder and much more clear.

" Ahhhh yeah Kevin just like that…...Ahhh God I missed you so much babe….Aregghh yeah."
