Chapter 5 The Second Invitation
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Two weeks after Eva received the first letter from Julian, she walked into her elegant office, gorgeously dressed and her face beamed with a smile. Her wedding gown just came in from Dubai.
The sleek and effortlessly sexy wedding gown with a classic silhouette was designed by a famous designer known as Mandy Valentino.
The ultrafeminine wedding gown was carefully handcrafted with the finest materials. The French lace and the embroidered tulle gave it a regal feel. Its whimsy and vulnerability were top-notch, Eva could not repress her smile of satisfaction as she walked into her office.
They had just thirteen days before the wedding and everything was going as planned. There would be a bachelorette party in an exotic hotel a day before the wedding. James had sent out an invitation to some of his naughty college friends. They would be flying in from different parts of the world.
Eva sat on her swivel chair after adjusting it to her desired height. She went through her phone again, admiring the beautiful photos of her wedding gown. She brought her phone down when her eyes caught sight of a shiny object at the center of her desk.
It was a love letter envelope sealed with a gold wax seal stamp. She grinned and picked it up. James won't stop dropping romantic messages for her.
Last week, he left a romantic envelope on her car seat, sealed with the same gold seal when she visited his family. She did not know James left an envelope on his car seat.
She was dumbfounded when she was about to leave for office the next day and saw the envelope. She switched the engine off and unsealed the envelope. It was one of the most romantic things she had ever read.
Eva was about to open the envelope when James walked in with his contagious smile. His walk had a sunny cheerfulness because everything was just going as planned.
Eva stood up, tossed the envelope aside and James swung her into the circle of his arms, and began to eat her lips.
"Would you mind?" James whispered into her ear. Eva understood what he wanted through his body language and nodded her head with a giggle.
"Just picture, honey, I know you have it in your phone," James whimpered and continued holding her tight. Eva tried to free herself from his embrace.
"You will only see it on our wedding day," Eva smirked when she had freed herself.
"Okay, can you give me a description?" James tilted his brows, shrugged his shoulders, and put his hands in his pocket.
"It is a fairy-tale gown with some jaw-dropping elements," Eva said. James moved closer again and wet her lips with his kiss. He gave her a warm hug after the gentle kiss.
His eyes caught sight of an envelope that was on her desk. He frowned and began to pull slowly from her embrace. Eva read his body language again and lifted her gaze at him. She quickly looked in the direction his eyes were and was surprised.
"Why are you staring at the envelope you sent to me?" Eva asked, a bit worried.
"I'm surprised because I did not send a love letter to you," James said.
"What? Are you sure?" Eva asked and James nodded his head.
"Then who did?" She asked, picking the envelope up from her desk.
"Open it and find out. I hope it's not from Hampton." James said with worries written on his face.
Eva looked up at him before running her eyes on the four sentences that were on the letter.
She brought her hands down disappointedly, sighed, and flung the letter away. She did not want anything that would take her beautiful smiles away. The letter could not stride as far as she wanted, so it landed on Jame's feet. James bent, picked the letter up, and read out loud.
"I regret writing to you again over what is simply solvable.
I regret even more that you failed to honor my last invitation.
Well, it might interest you to know that you are about to make May 26, a day of weeping.
You have my address, come and tell me why you did it"
James frowned his face and fixed his gaze at Eva who looked less concerned.
"Did what, honey?" Jame asked, his face clouded with uneasiness.
"Sweetheart, I did nothing!"
"Are you sure this letter came from Julian Hampton? Julian of all people? No, I doubt."
"He said he regretted even more that I did not honor his first invitation in the second sentence. Julian was the only person that had ever sent an invitation letter to me. Obviously, this letter came from him.
"He is such a cheap blackmailer!" James yelled. "What is he going to do on May 26?" James asked curiously.
"Stop the wedding? He dare not!"
"Listen, honey, I'm not going to let this slip away. I don't care who he is or the number of fans he has all over the world.
I'm going to talk to one of our experienced attorneys. They would help us talk to him.
For now, Eva, I want you to resist the urge to engage him. I know part of you wants to ignore him, while part wants to know what you did. Honey, you did nothing to him." James said. "Even if you did, you know I don't care, right?" James asked. Eva looked at him and nodded. She knew James did not care what anyone would say about her.
"What are we going to do to ensure nothing interrupts our wedding?" Eva asked. "Honestly, I'm a bit scared.
James moved closer to her and put his arms around her waist. He gently planted a kiss on her neck and nibbled her ear before whispering into it.
"Our wedding comes up in thirteen days. I have booked a hotel for our honeymoon in the Maldives. All our fantasies must be explored," James said and they giggled.
"We are going to have a delicious dinner filled with satisfying aphrodisiacs–artichoke and oysters for appetizers, a Mediterranean seafood stew for the main course, and a chocolate-hazelnut dessert on our arrival.
After the dinner, we will go back to our room and have a long bath together.
Honey, I'm going to pounce on you as the tiger hunts her prey. I will flip you over, pin you to bed and give you a lot of tender bites.
After the multiple bites, I'm going to come in between your legs and devour you like a hungry lion. I can't wait to watch you whine in ecstasy for me," James said in a flat tone as he held her so tight.
"What scent would you chose for our candle? Sea breeze, sage and lavender, citrus and ginger, sandalwood?" James asked after nibbling her ear.
"I love peppermint, I find it quite pleasant," Eva giggled.
"I like the scent of a tangy orange; we can use the two," James said.
Eva held his head firmly with her right hand. They pulled away from each other after some minutes. James looked dreamily at her, wishing they were on their honeymoon already.
He tried to pull her back again, Eva protested. She noticed his passion which came without warning had begun to consume his body and soul. James bit his lips and lowered his gaze.
Eva picked the letter up from her desk and tore it into pieces. She tossed both the pieces and the envelope in a trash can. James admired her courage even though he wanted to keep the letter as evidence.
"I love you Eva," James said with a grin, looking admiring at her.

Eva took the envelope from her mom. She hesitated for some minutes. Her fear was stronger than ever and her heart beat willy-nilly. She breathed in shallow, quick gasps as she flipped the cover. It was an old picture of a woman. She looked at her mom as she slowly pulled the picture out of the envelope. A glazed look of despair began to spread over her face. Tears slowly found their way down her cheeks. Eva did not see anything that could stop her wedding. However, after looking at the picture, she realized her chances of wedding James were very slim. The picture showed Julian knew something about one of her maids who died six years ago. She walked slowly towards her bed and sat down. Eva noticed there was a short note at the back of the picture. She read it out. "Now you know what you did, please come along with the picture and don't breathe a word to anyone."Eva stood up from the bed and grabbed her car keys. "Where are you off to?"

She wound down her glass when she got to his private lane, none of the logisticians said anything to her. It was as though they had been informed about her coming, or probably, she came alone. Eva did not know why she was given easy passage. She pulled over behind the mini Stadium and began to walk towards the foyer. She was ready to take anything he would throw at her. She just needed one thing; his pardon. One of his domestic staff led her to the living and offered her a seat. She never knew Julian was in the control room with his friend watching her as she walked majestically towards the foyer. "Did you deliver my message to her?" Julian asked.

Tears covered Eva's eyes as she drove out of Julian's mansion. She kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief. She recalled all the mistakes she made when she was a teenager. Tears covered up her eyes and her lower lips began to twitch. She picked up her phone and sent a quick message to her father. James swept her into his arms when she pulled over and alighted. He looked into her eyes and felt like taking whatever that was bothering her upon himself. He walked slowly towards her bedroom. He lowered her on the bed gently and planted a kiss on her forehead. Eva drew him closer and began to smooch his lips. James was quite surprised because Eva had never done that. She hardly responds to his kisses. Burying his hand in her golden hair, James returned her kiss with delight. His mouth covered her lips. The kiss sent spirals of ecstasy through him and their legs intertwined.

You will taste my wrath if I make headlines tomorrow. Be as secretive as you can be. No one should hear this except the people I mentioned." Julian said. "Which wedding gown should I use?" Eva muttered slowly. "You have a wedding in five days, I'm sure you must have taken care of your wedding gown." "That's James's taste, he ordered for it," Eva said again without looking at his face.

Eva and Roy arrived at Julian's lane at 11:05 PM. The four feet high driveway luxurious gate had been closed. The logistics office was also closed. Roy blasted the horn for more than five minutes, and none of the logisticians on night duty came out. The rain was quite heavy, so the horn was not heard. "Let's go back," Roy said, switching the ignition on. Eva grabbed her clutch bag and opened the door. "Seriously?" "I'm going in," Eva responded and came down. Roy came down too. "I'm going with you." "No, go home," Eva said walking towards the gate. Roy continued following her. She raised her long gown and crossed the gate. Roy did the same too. The rain was quite heavy, but Eva did not mind. Eva never knew the distance between the entrance and the mansion was a bit far until that day. The road seemed endless. "Roy, please…go…back," Eva sputtered as a result of the cold and shivering that had taken over her body. "No," Roy continued walking beside her. A torchlight came dire

Julian stood behind the window of the hotel room where he spent the night. He couldn't sleep in his bedroom without Eva in his arms. Everything around the house reminded him of her. It was as though she had gone for long, so he took his bodyguards out and lodged in a hotel. He quickly turned when his phone began to ring and walked toward the small table in his hotel room. He accepted the call reluctantly. His father had called him more than ten times already without positive news."Julian, come back home," Dr. Viraj's voice came in as soon as he picked up the call. "Is she back?" Julian asked with a flat tone. "No, but you have training tomorrow and a tournament on Wednesday. I'm sure you don't want your opponent to defeat you in your home. Please start coming."Julian sighed and hung up. He dropped the phone on the table. He was surprised when another call came in on it. He rolled his eyes and picked up the call.

James liked to spend the weekend with his family, however, Eva was surprised when she arrived at his residence and his elder brother told her he had not set his eyes on James since they left Julian's house. She knew the only place she would find him - his house. He bought the house a year ago. Eva kept wondering why he decided to spend the weekend in his house. She was welcomed by a blaring sound of music and the unmistakable scent of marijuana as soon as she pulled over and alighted at James' garage. There were different types of exotic cars all over the place. Eva glanced down at her wristwatch and frowned. It was 2:09 pm. Some of his friends who were in front of the building when she arrived welcomed her with joy on their faces. She was led to the pool bar where James was with three beautiful blonde female strippers twerking him back and front. He was also touching them sensually. One of the girls was completely nude.

Eva shuddered when she opened her eyes and saw Nora smiling at her. She was dressed in a very short gown that accentuated her boobs and slim outline and big hips. Eva ran her eyes on her massive cleavage and wondered who she was trying to impress with the devilish dressing of hers. "Nora!" Eva said a bit loudly. "I saw James leaving, he looked sad. Are you guys fighting already?" Nora smirked. "What did he tell you?" Eva asked curiously. Nora had a wide mouth, so Eva was scared James must have told her about her condition. "Nothing, he did not respond to my greeting. He ignored me totally." "It's been long you know…I'm surprised to see you," Eva forced a smile. "You chased me away, have you forgotten? I decided to maintain my space." "I'm sorry…it's quite late, are you going to a party, or are you here to keep me company?" Eva asked, sitting slightly up. "Keep you company? When Julian is alone?" Nora smirked. "Eva, I'm not going to a party or here to keep you company. J

Eva was turned out by the ringing and childish giggle turning up from her father's exclusive lounge. She wiped her eyes and yawned. The two-hour sleep really helped her. She noticed her strength surged up.There was darkness in her bedroom, probably the bulbs were switched off since no one was using the bedroom. There was a thin reflection of light. Eva shrieked when she first saw it because she did not know what it was. She picked courage and walked toward it. Eva discovered a phone fell off the table and was lying face-down. The light was a result of a text message that came in. The phone unlocked immediately her fingers touched the fingerprint sensor. She was surprised James hasn't relinquished her access to his phone. She sat on her bed when the message reader began to read with an automated female voice. "Hi, James, how did it go? Did you get her back? I wish you luck. I must say, you are indeed a stallion just like my friend said."Eva dropped the phone and felt bad. She was

Julian crossed his legs and fixed his eyes on his phone. He was in his house so he was not in a haste. "How are you, Mr. Hampton?" Bruce Daniels asked after twenty minutes of silence. "I'm good," Julian replied after some seconds of silence too, still staring at his phone."Are you aware that you poke your finger into my eyes?" Bruce Daniels asked, keeping the gazette he was holding aside. Julian lifted his eyes and frowned. "Poked my fingers in your eyes?" He tilted his brows. "You called the wedding of James Daniels off simply because his bride's personal maid had an accident six years ago! As if that was not enough, you framed him up for murder because he wants his fiancee back! Do you know who you messed with? James Daniels, my second son! We lost millions of dollars! For what?...""What do you want, Mr. Daniels?" Julian asked arrogantly. "Are you out of your mind?" How dare you interrupt me!

The long-awaited day had come. Julian woke up with a smile. He could not wait to get James and his people off their shoulders. He believed everything was going to end today. His face beamed as he enjoyed his breakfast with his wife beside him. He wondered why Eva was not excited. Julian led his wife back to the bedroom since she wanted to rest her back on the bed. He kissed her lips and walked out of the bedroom. He began to supervise everywhere to make sure they were perfectly cleaned. His logistic manager walked beside him as Carlos who always kept him company traveled to Johannesburg to see his girlfriend who was a med student in Witwatersrand.
