In the heart of bustling city life, Eva Lowes, an enigmatic heiress to a vast fortune, finds solace in the arms of her devoted husband, Blake Torres. Yet, beneath the façade of marital bliss lies a carefully guarded secret: Eva has chosen to conceal her true identity from Blake. As their love deepens, Eva grapples with the moral dilemma of revealing her affluent background, fearing it may jeopardize the authenticity of their relationship. Caught between the desire for honesty and the fear of losing Blake's love, Eva navigates the intricate web of deceit, hoping to preserve their bond while concealing the truth that could unravel their world.
View MoreA tense silence hung in the air as Blake met Eva's gaze. A ghost of a smile played on his lips, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. He extended his hand, the unspoken words "I wish us a pleasant cooperation" hanging between them. Eva's expression remained a mask, her emotions carefully guarded. Slowly, deliberately, she turned to Irish, offering a firm handshake and a genuine smile. "Wish us a successful collaboration, wouldn't you agree?"Irish's smile faltered slightly as she grasped Eva's hand. A ripple of disquietude seemed to emanate from Blake, a subtle shift in the atmosphere that sent a prickle of unease down Irish's spine. She offered a polite, "Absolutely, a successful collaboration is what we all aim for."With a furrowed brow, he retreated into his thoughts. The weight of the issue pressed down on him, leaving him paralyzed by indecision. He yearned for a simple solution, a way to navigate this crisis without further complications.Eva signed the contract, b
"Xian Senna was behind this!" Axel exclaimed.Eva's brow furrowed at the mention of Xian's name. It wasn't a surprised. After all, she'd won his beloved car in a recent competition knowing his competitive streak, she wouldn't put revenge past him.Even as Xian enacted his revenge, an unexpected calm settled over her. Fear was nowhere to be found. "Eva" Axel inquired with a glint in his eyes. "Do you want me to hire someone to counter the online attacks?" Maybe we need some damage control online" Axel suggested."Let me deck that dude, Ev!" Owen's jaw clenched and a dangerous glint entered his eyes. He muttered through gritted teeth. Eva shook her head, a playful glint in her eyes."Revenge isn't my style" Eva smirked."No need to worry, Eva reassured them a resolute glint in her eyes. "I won't stoop to his level but Xian will learn from his actions."Eva plotted her revenge in the gleaming sheen of the freshly painted Bugatti Veyron. The once familiar car was now a shocking shade of
"Marian!" Jackie hissed, her voice laced with a barely controlled fury. The shock of betrayal battled with a surge of anger, leaving her speechless for a moment.A wave of crushing disappointment washed over Blake. His eyes, once filled with affection for his sister, now held a chilling emptiness. "Marian," he breathed, his voice laced with a barely contained fury."Marian, this is…unbelievable. Selling those documents to DIY Group? Look, I understand frustration about the frozen cards, but this? We always took care of you. You had everything you needed." His voice, laced with disappointment, trailed off.Marian bristled under the heat of Blake's glare. In a defiant gesture, she crossed her arms, a flicker of anger momentarily overriding her fear."I've already worn all that jewelry before. "Look, I needed the money, okay? And those files were just lying around, practically begging to be used! It's not like they were some top-secret documents, even Eva could go in there and clean
Noticing Blake's evident fury, Jackie trembled, her voice quivering as she spoke. Despite her efforts, she found herself unable to refrain from commenting about Eva."Blake, how dare you speak to me in such a manner? That woman is nothing but trouble. She played with fire, and now she's getting burned. I can't believe you're defending her!" "Blake, your tone is unacceptable. That woman is deceitful and manipulative. She pulled dirty tricks on us, even going so far as to steal our project. My response was merely sending a lawyer's letter. Count yourself lucky I didn't involve the police!"Blake's expression hardened as he spoke, his voice carrying a stern edge. "I made it clear that I would handle this matter. No one has the right to meddle in my affairs."Jackie's carefully crafted smile faltered under the heat of his glare. A wave of fear washed over her, momentarily silencing the venomous retort that had been on the tip of her tongue. But beneath the surface, a steely resolve har

Eva, being so young, couldn't
Blinded by her dislike for Eva, Jackie couldn't fathom Blake losing the project on his own merit. She clung to the belief that Eva had somehow manipulated the situation."Look, Mom, I know you don't understand, but trust me, I tried everything. This is business, not a game, and somehow Eva came out on top. Now I'm at a loss. Any ideas on how to reclaim the project?""Why not?" Jackie asked coldly. "The bitch has got a lot of benefits from you in the past three years of your marriage. There's nothing wrong with asking her to return the project to you. Besides, who knows if she has taken any valuables from our family after you divorced?""Eva's involvement with World Group on this project raises a few red flags. Did she have any prior knowledge of the bid? Maybe a more aggressive strategy is needed to reclaim what's rightfully ours." She paused, her eyes widening in horror. 'No, I have to check it now!"Blake's face darkened.He never realized the depth of his mother's disdain for Ev
Xian stared at the screen, disbelief etched on his face. "How is that possible?" he muttered, the question more for himself than Eva. The video replayed on a loop, each frame showcasing Eva's undeniable victory. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a defeated sigh escaped his lips. "Alright, fine. You win." "Can I have the car keys now?" Eva held out her open hand in front of Xian. "Surely the future heir of Senna Group wouldn't deceive a simple country girl like me?"Xian's jaw clenched tight. Each beat of his heart hammered a painful reminder of his promise. Eva's words hung in the air, a challenge he couldn't refuse. A surge of anger, fueled by frustration and heartbreak, flared within him. "Fine!" he spat, the word laced with bitterness. He tossed the car keys at Eva, the metal glinting coldly in the light. The weight of his sacrifice settled heavily on him, a constant reminder of the promise he kept, but the heart he broke."This Bugatti Veyron is a limited edition, s
Eva's Audi struggled to keep pace with the lightning-fast Bugatti Veyron.Meanwhile, Blake silently trailed behind them in his black Ford, keeping a vigilant watch over Eva."Eva, it's not over! You can pull out. The bet doesn't matter. I'll handle Xian." But the only response was the continuous howl of the wind, a chilling reminder of the breakneck speed and the immense distance separating them.Eva could barely hear him. She was focused on racing and didn't even bat an eyelid at him.The growl of the engine resonated through Eva's core, a primal rhythm that quickened her heartbeat to a frantic drum solo. A surge of forgotten passion coursed through her veins, a heady mix of adrenaline and defiance. In that moment, the roar of the engine wasn't just noise; it was a symphony of forgotten dreams, a battle cry for a past she'd locked away. This wasn't just a race; it was a reawakening, a taste of a life she'd yearned for, a life where the thrill of the chase coursed through her very be
"Ugh, this is getting old," Eva muttered, her gaze flickering towards Xian. "Ready to ditch, Jenny?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of defiance. "We've said our piece, and clearly, it's not landing."Xian, misinterpreting Eva's frustration as fear, puffed out his chest, a smug smile spreading across his face. His arrogance only fueled Eva's resolve to leave a lasting impression, one that wouldn't involve wasting another minute on him.A harsh voice sliced through the air. "Scared, are we, Eva? Used to a lavish lifestyle thanks to Blake, now manipulate other men to get what you want. Shame on you!"Eva froze, the comment a sucker punch to the gut. It was a low blow, designed to trigger insecurity. But as the sting subsided, a steely resolve settled in her eyes.Eva, ever the pragmatist, knew arguing with Xian was akin to wrestling a pig - messy and ultimately pointless. But his latest barb landed differently. This wasn't just another insult; it was a trespass on a deeply perso
