Chapter 31: Catching Culprit
Evelyn woke with a throbbing headache, groaning as she sat up in bed. The sharp sun rays filtered through the window, intensifying her discomfort. Rubbing her eyes, she scanned the room, and a frown crept across her lips as she realized she was in Zevian’s house.
What happened last night? The only thing she remembered was going to Bobby’s bar with Zevian and sharing how they fell in love with the twins.
"Ahhh!" she grumbled as her head pounded, her hands quickly reaching to massage her temples.
"Good morning, Ma’am," Agatha said, smiling as she entered the room to check on her. Placing a coffee tray down on the nightstand, she handed over the hangover tonic Zevian had given her.
"Thank you, Agatha," Evelyn mumbled, drinking the tonic in a few gulps. Her alcohol tolerance was very low, and it seemed like she had drunk quite a lot last night.
"Would you like to have breakfast here, Ma’am?" Agatha asked.
Evelyn shook her head. "No, I’ll freshen up and come downstairs. Where’s Kiana?" she asked, wondering if she was alright. Sabrina’s scene might have taken a toll on the poor girl as well.
"She went to school from Reign Mansion, Ma’am," Agatha replied. Looking at the clock that was ticking past eleven, she added, "If you’re free today, we can pick her up at three." Kiana had looked somber not finding both her daddy and mommy in the morning, and Agatha knew Evelyn would help lift the little girl’s spirits.
Evelyn nodded with a smile. She decided to take Kiana out in the evening to cheer her up like she did for her father last night. As Agatha left, Evelyn quickly texted Avery and went to freshen up.
