Eva was dumbfounded as she just stared at his back view until he disappeared from her view. “Wait, was he looking out for the stress that I was doing?” She mumbled silently while tilting her head. After a while she finished planting the flower she was doing in that area and also headed to the main mansion. The maids came to inform her that dinner was ready and she met Damien already sitting at the dining table when she got to the dining room. Unlike what Eva expected for their first dinner together since they got married, it was rather quiet. She stole a few glances at Damien who was pretty much focused on his food. “Is my face more satisfying than the food?" Damien suddenly asked, almost making Eva jump at being caught. She didn't know that Damien had caught her staring at him. “Of course the food is delicious and satisf
After three days.The Black mansion was in chaos. The old butler can’t control the mansion’s wild princess anymore. Two days ago, the butler mentioned that Damien was actually taking such a long time whenever he goes abroad and he said that a month was surprisingly the shortest, making Eva shocked because she was told that he would take a week before he comes back. She really needed to discuss her plan with him immediately. However, at the same time, she was glad, for she didn’t expect that she would be given so much time to prepare for the approaching battle and prepare how she would tell him. Being jobless for the past few days, she then came and insisted on making some changes in the mansion’s garden. She wanted the dark, chilly garden to turn into something romantic. She wanted to add some colors in its monotone look. She wanted to transform it into a perfect dating spot for future purposes. However, she didn't know that this garden would surely come in handy for her.Well everyo
“Yes, he asked me to be his girlfriend a few days ago before I arrived. However, even though I agreed, I told him we aren't announcing yet because we are just getting to know each other.” Nathalia replied as she watched Eva's expression."I forgot to ask what his name is?” she finally asked after a few moments of silence." Stanley Breaker.” Nathalia answered immediately. She was nervous about what Eva would say about him.“Alright, since you like him, I wish you the best and I'm happy for you. However, look out very well. I don't want you ending up in that same crappy relationship you had with you know who." Eva remarked, her eyes burning dangerously.“Really? You're in support of it, thank God." Nathalia let out a huge breath she had been holding.“Of course, I would. I want you to be happy just as much as I am. Were you nervous because Ella didn't approve of it?" She asked.“How did you know that? Well, it's not like she didn't agree, Ell was just being over cautious about him and
“I am interested now. And if this turns out to be true, then it's the perfect place to start taking back what was stolen from me.” Eva replied, her eyes darkened dangerously."First of all, before I tell you if it's true or not. Tell me what was the exact reason you married Damien?” Nathalia inquired.“I told you already, Nathy. I'm done regretting and beating myself up Nathy. It's time I leave up to that reputation that everyone knows me as." “And that is…..?" Nathalia trailed off, she wanted to get a real response from Eva, that way she would know that her Eva was finally over Mark.“My position as the Queen of Socialites. Don't you think my throne has been resting all this while? Everyone sees me as an evil, wicked, vicious, spiteful, jealous woman, so why should I try to convince them? Rather than convincing them that I'm not, I would just expose the people that they think are the heroes.” A sinister smile graced Eva's face.“That is what I'm expecting to hear! Finally I have my
************A few minutes later, Eva finally arrived outside a huge black gate. The security team watching from the CCTV had told her to wait for some minutes so that they could confirm from Old Lee when she told them she lived here.“We apologize, madam for keeping you waiting.” The guard apologized when they confirmed that was the new madam of the mansion. Eva nodded her head, not offended by their action. In fact she would have scolded them personally if they had let her enter like that without confirming her identity since she hadn't properly introduced herself to every worker here.As expected, Old Lee was waiting for Eva when she parked her car and got out of it. She smiled apologetically at the old man for keeping him awake at this time because she arrived late.****The next day******Eva got dressed, grabbed her bag and went out of the black mansion. She insisted on going out on her own but the worrywart butler just won’t let her, but since she was in a happy mood today she
"You see it as sass, I see it as a genuine question." She shrugged, much to his dismay. "Oh, and my visit to the house you're so hung up about was only because of my brother. Trust me, I have only one more visit to make to that place and it's the last time you see there. Besides, you should thank me for coming home, if not your mistress wouldn't have been able to successfully hook me in another annoying date.” Eva added, completely disregarding her father's warning and keep addressing Laura as a ‘mistress’“Evangeline Carter! How dare-" "Besides, you’ve never helped me before in the past. Why start now?" She cut him off before he could complete his words. She turned her back to him and walked away to hail down a cab. However, before she had the chance to do so, Dylan stepped up."I’ll drive you home." He was obviously worried about her. It was already late at night and she had already experienced enough trouble.Getting into a taxi right now would be very dangerous, especially for a
Lawrence noticed how sullen and upset his prized granddaughter had become. Her shoulders were slightly hunched over and with the dim lighting, she looked pale and lonely. Despite the fact that she was surrounded by people, the more he looked at her, the more he realized how depressing this dinner was.He knew he should’ve warned her in advance that her family would be at the table, but he knew she would immediately refuse to come.He hadn’t seen her in a couple of days and after she went to deliver the file to Cross Enterprise and he wanted to personally see how she was doing.He couldn’t help but sigh at how ironic this situation was.Whenever any of his children or grandchildren yearned for his attention and acknowledgment, he didn’t spare them a second glance. But when it came to this specific granddaughter, he was the one who was always initiating for her to come to him.She rarely visited him and he knew it was because she was fearful of appearing too clingy. In fact he was even
Matthew slammed his hand onto the table, the water on his cup swishing from the momentum.He glared at his daughter with so much intensity, one would think she killed his firstborn. "It seems I haven’t disciplined you well enough. To talk back to your father and even dare to interrupt me, it seems you haven’t learned your lesson.""I’ve raised a brat like you for twenty-three years, and this is what I get in return? A disappointment of a daughter and a failure of a woman. No wonder you were abandoned by your fiance. Disrespectful and rude, you sure have a lot of guts." He seethed, each word going through one of Eva's ears and out the next.She looked at him, bored. "I’m glad you know. And as for my fiance, it's not my fault he doesn't have a jewelry maker's eyes, if not he would have been able to see the hidden gem in me. Something you are too blind to see as well,my father.." She said, crossing her arms. Despite the prickling pain in her heart, her face remained haughty and passive-a
The feeling was totally different compared to the one she felt for Mark. At the time, it has been nurtured over the years and had been borne from their supposed lifetime together. There was an irrational sense of relief bubbling through her at the thought that she’s quickly moving on from him.‘No, you're wrong. I'm his wife now. And even though I haven't healed completely. I have been taking too much time and using my broken heart as an excuse to not move. Rather than waiting for the time to heal completely, I will become the vengeful woman they branded me with to heal.’"Young Miss, are you alright?" The driver gently asked upon seeing her ghostly complexion in the rearview mirror.Eva's usual snow kin had turned even more translucent, almost resembling a piece of paper.The voice of the driver brought her back to reality as she took in an unsteady breath of air to calm herself. "Y-yes, I’m fine. Thank you." She briefly said, looking out the window once again.She blinked and chided
