After closing his mobile phone, Damian turned around and as he walked over to Eve. Eve, who had deliberately pretended to be asleep, woke up."Hoam....!" Eve yawned and stretched her arms up.Damian smiled, "Are you awake Eve? Why are you sleeping outside?"Eve turned her head, "Oh, did I just fall asleep? I didn't seem to realize. I wanted to get some fresh air, so I lay down here on purpose. Eh, I ended up falling asleep! I'm sorry, aren't I? Did you come a long time ago or just now?" Damian shook his head, "I just came maybe about five minutes ago. Are you bored, Eve? If you are, hmm...how about we go traveling? I want to take you somewhere! Get ready, bring just enough clothes! We're going on holiday!" Eve froze, if she was going on holiday, then it would be even further out of Allan's reach, right? For some reason Eve felt uncomfortable around Damian now. After the many secrets that Eve just found out about Damian that she never knew so far made her look at Damian in a different
Allan set off in his car to a point where Bert had last spoken to Allan's men or bodyguards.After arriving there, Allan found nothing but a van used by their bodyguards.Allan got out of his car followed by Bert and Allan's bodyguards or men who followed them behind. Meanwhile, Tom chose to accompany Narti in the car and forbade her to get off because he was worried that she was still in danger."Miss Narti, it's better for us to wait here until the bodyguards explore this place and deem it safe, then we can go down." said Tom persuading Narti who seemed impatient and wanted to go down too."But...I want to see Eve!" Narti looked ahead where there was a car on the edge of a highway."Eve might not be there yet, Miss Narti! It will be dangerous if we go down now! Because we don't know what happened there yet. So, be patient for a while!" said Tom, still forbidding Narti who seemed to be a little stubborn because of her worries."Hmm...okay!" Narti finally gave up, even though she had
An Hour EarlierEve was very surprised when she heard the statement from the woman in front of her who was none other than her own cousin Claire."Why, are you surprised? Did Damian not tell you about this? Well, well, Damian, I really didn't expect you to lie to Eve! Your own best friend, moon?" said Claire while clapping her hands.While Damian growled he turned to look at Eve and shook his head, trying to convince Eve that what Claire said was a lie. At least it wasn't the truth."Well, it is! Daddy asked Damian for help because...because the company is in trouble! And it's all because of who? Because of you! Your wonderful husband Allan Watson! He tried to take your revenge on us, didn't he? By having him destroy the company your own father built! Isn't that great? What does that mean, don't you realize that he's indirectly trying to destroy your company, while you're having fun falling in love with him! What a shame!" said Claire sarcastically."I-that's impossible! Allan wouldn't
A middle-aged man with white hair but still looking dashing with a woman of about the same age only slightly younger appeared with his displeased gaze looking at Damian and then at Eve who was still standing still in her place."What do you want to do with your fiancée, Damian? Do you want to hit her, is that it? And all for the sake of this obscure woman? Huh?" the middle-aged woman exclaimed with an annoyed look.Claire stared at the two and ran over to the woman who seemed to be defending her, "Auntie, look! What Damian is doing with that woman! I can't stand it! They're having an affair behind my back! Hik Hik Hik...it's no wonder that these days when I ask Damian to come to my house, he makes excuses! I just want us to be a lot closer!" Claire played her role very well, she was the one who was hurt here, even though she had just done or thrown her hand at Eve, but she seemed like she was the one who was wronged."Is that right, Damian? Who is this woman? Why does she live here? W
Eve meanwhile closed her mouth. The puzzle that had been encountered all this time was revealed. Maira is Damian's half-sister, although they are not related by blood, but it seems that Damian loves her very much.Wait a minute, Aunt Liana? If Maira is his sister then....Aunt Liana..Damian's stepmother?Eve just remembered that in their house there used to be a woman who worked as a cleaner, named Aunt Liana, with a little girl. Eve and Maira were the same age, which made them play together more often. Eventually, they also went to the same school. Until one day, Auntie Maira left, leaving only a piece of paper to Eve's mum and dad.Damian turned to Eve who still looked shocked."Well, she's Maira! Your little friend Maira, your best friend my mum Liana! Your family kicked her out, and they've been running ever since Eve! Why would your family kick her out, after you helped her? Huh?!" said Damian looking at Eve with a hurt look on his face."Wait a minute, we never kicked her out! M
Eve froze and was a little happy that it was Allan Watson who came. "Are you alright, Eve? You hurt your knee! Who hurt you? Who hurt my wife? Answer!" Allan growled as he hugged his wife with one arm and looked at everyone who was there."Why are you in my house? You have no right to enter my private property! Guard!" Damian shouted without answering Allan's question.Damian moved to approach the front door of his house but then someone pushed some of the injured people towards Damian."Forgive us, sir. There are so many of them! We can't hold them back!" exclaimed one of Damian's house guards who was still conscious.Damian growled, he didn't expect his well-trained men and even some of his former military men to lose to Allan's men. "You fools! How can you lose to Allan's men? You're trained, you can't even fight his men!" said Damian in annoyance."Hahaha...are you surprised Mr Lions? Of course they lost! You were wrong to face me Mr Lions! You think your men are that good? Huh?
"You!!! What did you say? Control me?" Damian walked slowly towards his uncle with a terrifying look.Making his uncle frown."Yeah! I said control yourself! Look at you! You're acting like a madman because of a woman? Who doesn't even deserve it?!" said the Uncle who wasn't scared and didn't budge.Damian walked closer and closer to his uncle, while Allan, who did not accept Eve being called inappropriate, was about to speak but was then surprised because Damian suddenly shouted."Inappropriate you say? She is far more than deserving than you! You're the one who doesn't belong here! It's not Eve! Eve's an honorable woman! She's always taken good care of herself! And she's never taken advantage of me! She wants to be friends with me without even knowing who I am! She accepts me for who I am! As for you? You and your wife took care of me for nothing more than because I'm the heir to my family's entire estate! My father's entire legacy! You think I don't know what you're doing behind my
The extremely loud gunshot made everyone surprised and unexpected. Everyone in the room was shocked and froze in their places.Similarly, Eve who heard the gunshot from a distance was equally surprised. Eve who was in the car prepared by Allan not far from the entrance to Damian's house froze and turned pale instantly. Eve's mind immediately went to someone. Allan Watson."What happened there? Why are there gunshots? Is...oh, no! Allan!" Eve struggled to get out of the car but was held back by Narti and also by Tom!"Eve! Hold on! Calm yourself down! It's dangerous for you to go down there! We don't know what's going on inside!" Narti shouted while holding Eve's hand firmly.Eve looked at Narti in confusion, "But, Allan is in there, Narti! Let go of me! Can't you hear it? There's a gunshot over there! I can't just stay here! Allan..Allan...Let go of your hand! Let me go inside!" Eve was about to run back inside the house but was held back and hugged by Narti, "Calm down! Look, Aleen
A few months later.Eve wore a very beautiful wedding dress where the top was a skin-coloured brocade as if Eve was not wearing anything because it resembled her skin color as the flower motif was like a tattoo on Eve's skin alone. Eve's top and dress were jeweled with a flowing gown with very long tails. Eve also wore a head covering only on the back of her hair with light blue coloured gems.Eve was held by Allan's grandfather in place of her parents and walked slowly towards Allan who was waiting at the podium in his white tuxedo. All eyes were on them as if they were afraid of missing this precious moment.After returning from Bali they went straight back to formalizing their marriage, and exactly a few months later they celebrated their current marriage in private at their newest hotel Bali Sensation in the Bali area at one of Allan's hotels on one of the Nusa Penida islands in his hotel's very luxurious and magnificent ballroom.Eve had actually refused, but both Allan and Allan
Eve frantically went back downstairs and scattered towards Allan, Allan's leg was injured, it seemed he forced himself to climb the stairs above him and slipped.Eve held him up while sobbing, "Oh my God! Allan! Why didn't you tell me? That...that...ah, how stupid of me! Of course your leg still hurts! There's no way you can heal that fast, right?"Allan felt that he was now playing with Eve's feelings, but he disappeared for no reason.After arriving upstairs, Eve sat Allan down on a chaise lounge near the pool."Let me see your wound!" Allan dismissed Eve's hand that was about to look at his leg, "No Eve, I'm fine! It's just a blister!" "Why, let me check!" Eve didn't care, but when she pulled up Allan's material trousers, precisely on her right leg Eve cried. Allan's wounds still left very visible marks. Eve sobbed."Your wound...I'm sorry Allan! I didn't know! I didn't know..." Eve shook her head while looking down.Allan took Eve's face and looked at her, Allan wiped her tears,
Two Years LaterEve was very beautiful today with her hair in a bun and a flower on her left side making her look like an angel. Eve was wearing her favorite color light blue with the same underwear and an organdy-like material with flowers embroidered on the outside.Eve smiled and waved to Narti that she wanted to walk along the beach to avoid the crowd. She hasn't liked crowds, actually, since two years ago. Since...But today is the happy day of her best friend, Narti and Tom. Yep, today is Narti's wedding day and Eve is the bridesmaid. Eve originally refused to attend, but Narti is her only friend. Narti has helped her through everything. From their growing company, to accompanying Eve with her loneliness. Including when... Allan left her. "Puff!" Eve let out her breath remembering what happened two years ago.After Allan regained consciousness Allan found out that his right leg could not be moved and Allan was declared paralyzed. Allan couldn't accept it, he always looked gloo
One Year LaterIt was like any other day when Eve would walk into the ward of her husband, Allan Watson. Eve never got tired of visiting him every day and it had been one year. Allan had never regained consciousness after surgery on his leg and skull which turned out to have deep wounds, resulting in trauma.Allan was in a coma.Eve still remembers what the doctor who treated Allan said a few days after the surgery, "It is with great regret that we have to inform you that Mr Allan Watson is most likely in a coma and...has paralysis in his right leg. I'm sorry, but we tried...but..." Eve covered her mouth at that moment and screamed."Allannnn!!!" Eve took a deep breath. If Eve keeps remembering that.But Eve doesn't care! Eve continued to wait. Eve never got tired of spending most of her day here. Waiting for her husband and telling him about her busy day even though Allan never responded. Eve would return after dropping off or picking up Aleena who had started back to school. After
Eve frantically and continuously sobbed while holding Allan's bloody hands, his injured face, and the worst was Allan's leg that was torn almost to the groin. Eve continued to join the small run following and pushing the gurney with her free hand that carried Allan to the operating room with several nurses and a doctor with them while running around."Hang on, Allan! Please...not like this! Don't leave me and Aleena! Please..." she continued to speak beside Allan and continued to sob. Her vision was now blurred by the tears that kept flowing.Meanwhile, Aleena was crying very loudly in the arms of Narti, Eve's best friend who kept struggling to be put down but was still held by Narti. Narti was saddened and even crying seeing the condition of her best friend and their daughter. Besides Narti, Tom and Bert were also there to accompany them.When they arrived at the door of the operating room, a doctor held Eve and said."Sorry, Madam. You can't come in! Let us take care of your husband
Maira looked at their departure with relief and then approached Robert, "Aren't you okay, Robert?" Robert tried to get up as Maira carried him into the restaurant. "Please...take my mobile phone from the right side of my trouser pocket Maira! Please call...my uncle!" Robert cried softly.Maira took Robert's mobile phone and searched for a contact name, fortunately Robert had named his uncle Allan Watson. Once connected, Maira put the phone on speaker.Robert grinned at his uncle's response which was always sarcastic to him."Uncle! Come quickly! Help me...I mean...help Eve! Eve needs help! Someone's after her! Hurry! I'm on the Johnsonville road..." Robert's speech was cut off.Tut!"Robert!" Robert suddenly fainted.Flashback Off*****Allan, who got a call from Robert, took his car keys back which had been placed on the living room table.Allan was about to run but was held back by Jordan's grandfather."What's wrong?" he said."I have to save Eve, Grandpa! Robert said someone is
Eve hurriedly approached her daughter who was being carried by a cook. And then took over carrying him."Sorry, she was playing to get into the kitchen, but unfortunately she slipped. That's why she fell down! Sorry, we were too busy to notice this little girl appearing, otherwise...maybe I would have helped her sooner!" exclaimed a cook who was still wearing an apron."No! It's not your fault! It's my fault, I should have looked after her! I'm sorry! And thank you!" exclaimed Eve."No problem Mistress! Then I'll go back to the kitchen!" she exclaimed."Thank you again!" exclaimed Eve, the cook just smiled."Are you hurt, dear?" said Eve, looking at Aleena. "Why did you leave without telling Mummy first?""My knee hurts, Mummy! Sorry! I was just curious to see what was in there!" Aleena looked down."No problem, but next time tell me first?" Eve said and Aleena just nodded. "Oh my! You hurt your knee a little! Wait a minute! Mummy brought a band-aid! I think it's in the bag!" Eve stru
Someone approached the two slowly. Eve bolted up as did her best friend Maira."Robert? Why are you here?" asked Eve, looking confused."He didn't go with you, Eve?" asked Maira looking at Eve. Eve, who was stared at by Maira, quickly shook her head as she spoke, "No! It was just the two of us here! Did you follow us, Robert? Did Allan tell you to follow us, did he?" Robert looked at Eve, "Sorry Eve I followed you here by accident, I was passing by my Uncle's house and...then I saw you sneaking out of a convenience store! I thought your behavior was very suspicious, so I followed you! Turns out...you met Maira!""Oh...I thought..." Eve reluctantly continued her speech."Sorry Maira, Eve I overheard your conversation! Because I was curious why Eve had to hide, I thought she was meeting someone! It turned out to be you Maira! But I didn't expect you to go this far Maira! I thought you were...a good girl! I remember you guys were always together, weren't you at school? I wonder why you
Eve, who heard Maira's words from her own mouth, was so surprised that she even stood up from her seat. She had heard this at Damian's house. But Eve never expected that this reason that made Maira hate her was something that Eve did not understand."You're making this up! My father, I mean our family never threw your mother and you out, Maira! It was your mother who chose to leave our home secretly! But not for the reasons you mentioned! You're wrong!" Eve shook her head with a sad look."You can't insult my mum Eve! She herself told it to me out of shame! She's the talk of the town! And...I...I had the whole school laughing at me! I tried to hold it in so my mum wouldn't be sad, but she found out eventually and was very sad! When she found out she decided we should leave your house! My mum has been sickly ever since! Which then...then...she died in deep heartache! It was all because of you! You and your father! You were the ones who spread that cheap gossip in my school and to the pe
