IN THE SHADOW OF TRUST

In a busy city, meet Evelyn – a young, successful entrepreneur and the boss of a growing software company. Even with all her work achievements, Evelyn doesn't believe in love. To her, people are like monsters, and trust is easily broken by the inevitable betrayals that come with love. Evelyn's strong opinions also extend to relationships. She thinks dating before marriage is just about doing things you shouldn't and being selfish. She even rejects the idea of loving yourself, thinking it's not important in a world she sees as lacking fulfillment. As Evelyn handles her work life, her tough beliefs act like a shield, keeping her safe from the ups and downs of connecting with others. But as the story goes on, we'll dig into why Evelyn feels this way, uncovering her past and the experiences that made her resistant to the idea of love. The story will follow Evelyn's journey, wondering if her strong beliefs can hold up against unexpected turns and the chance for real connections. In the midst of success and feeling alone, Evelyn's story will unfold, pushing her to reconsider the limits she set for herself and, maybe, discover a deeper understanding of love and fulfillment.

CHAPTER 1

The Ice Queen's Domain

Good morning, Miss Evelyn," greeted Tessy, Evelyn's PA, as Evelyn walked briskly toward her office. Evelyn, wearing an eyeglass with her eyes covered and a black mask, maintained her stern expression.

"Morning, Tessy. How are you?" replied Evelyn, her serious gaze fixed in Tessy's direction.

"I'm fine, Missy," Tessy responded, hurrying to catch up with Evelyn. In one hand, she held a cup of coffee, and in the other, a small notebook with a pen.

Evelyn, still walking fast, inquired about her schedule. "What's my schedule like?"

"First, Missy, you have a meeting with the marketing team today, followed by a presentation on the new app. After that, you'll have a meeting with Oliver Stone for the app's launch," Tessy informed her.

"Okay, is the meeting with Oliver strictly business?" Evelyn asked, expressing curiosity.

"It is strictly business, Missy," Tessy assured her.

Amid the tall buildings in the city, Evelyn Williams, a woman in her late twenties, who is the CEO of a big software company called Evelyn Tech. Her office is modern and efficient, just like her. People respected her for being smart, but some thought she was a bit cold and bittered.

One evening, as the sun set, Evelyn sat alone in her neat office. The soft light from her computer screens gave the room a strange glow. Her usually sharp eyes looked far away as she sat at her desk.

Curiously, Evelyn picked up a framed photo from her tidy desk. It seemed to capture a happy moment from the past. A younger Evelyn smiled next to a man whose face was covered with black ink.

As she touched the photo, a story unfolded. The man in the picture was someone important, erased and replaced by disappointment. The room felt heavy with unspoken pain and secrets.

Evelyn's story is like a dramatic novel. In
her work and personal life, she seemed to face betrayals that shaped her. Each hurtful moment became a brick in the walls around her heart.

The drama peaked as the past betrayals echoed in her office. Her colleagues, busy with their work, had no idea about the emotional struggle happening in the corner office.

Evelyn, the queen of technology, came out of her memories. Behind her cold image was a vulnerable person. The sad story of love and broken trust had built the Ice Queen's world. Alone in her office, she teetered between success and loneliness, haunted by her own past.

The telephone ranged, "Let them in" she said as she sit up and focus on her computer.
