Eva stood behind her curtainless window staring at the beautiful trees that were well aligned in her mom's garden, very close to her bedroom window. She drew in oxygen from the trees' youthful air into her lungs and grinned.

She stared down and admired some of the tree branches that had gone haywire. She wondered why her maids left the branches untrimmed. 

Eva was so obsessed with nature. She loved trees and talked to them as though they were humans. She saw them as the best gift given to humanity. That was why her parents gave her one of the rooms that faced the trees. 

They also had the bedroom curtain removed and mounted a shelf in front of the bedroom window for partial coverage. Her parents filled the shelf with a house plant in a decorative vase. 

When she was a child, she would stand behind the shelf and stare at the trees, loving how they swayed when a soft breeze blew. 

She ran to her bedroom and stared at the trees whenever she was annoyed. She found the view quite therapeutic. 

A feeling of joy crept through her as she stood behind her window, inhaling some fresh air. Her wedding came up in six days and everything had been arranged. 

They had finalized the seating arrangements and sent them to the wedding planner. 

James had earlier double-checked their flight time, confirmed their hotel bookings and dinner reservations. 

James's father loved him so much, so he invested a lot of money in his son's wedding. The news about their wedding had become a top search on the internet and the latest trend on social media. People couldn't wait to watch the wedding videos. 

Eva turned gracefully when her bedroom door swung slowly. Her mom and her maids stood behind the door staring at her with smiles on their faces. 

Eva looked down at the wrapped gifts the maid were carrying, tilted her brows, and grinned. People had been sending gifts to her since the news of her wedding went viral on the internet. 

"Sweetheart, I was about to come to your house when Leah told me you were here," Molly said as she began to walk towards her. Leah was one of her maids. 

"Mom, I went to a jeweler to get our rings professionally cleaned. I want to add more sparkling to them," Eva grinned, stared at the rings she kept on a table, and looked through the window again. "I missed my favorite view already." 

"Thank God you are here. Eva, you don't pick up a wedding dress and save it till the day of your wedding. You need to try on the full ensemble, including shoes and jewelry to finalize your look. 

You will walk down the aisle in six days and you need to practice and make sure everything feels comfortable. 

Your shoes are brand new, and you will be wearing them for a while on the big day. You also need to wear them for a short period each day and walk around the house on different surfaces. 

Eva, Bruce Daniels is a very influential person and you know his friends are moneybags. I want everything to breathe perfection!" Molly smirked. 

Eva walked towards the gifts the maids kept on her bed with smiles. Her mom sat down on one of the sofas in her bedroom. She was holding about ten envelopes from her friends and well-wishers. She began to pass the envelopes to her daughter one by one. 

The last envelope looked so familiar, Eva's face changed when she saw it. She sighed and stood up from the bed. 

Molly looked at the envelope and wondered why the sudden mood swing. She became worried as the envelope looked quite different. 

"Sweetheart, is there anything I should know?" Molly asked. 

"No, not at all mom. It's something I can handle." Eva replied. Molly frowned her brows. Eva was her only child and she had been the one handling her affairs. 

"Have you been receiving a letter with this kind of envelope, sweetheart?" Molly asked. Eva nodded without looking at her. 

"Who is the sender?" 

"Julian Hampton." 

"Julian Hampton, the famous footballer?" Molly asked with her hands akimbo. 

"According to the address he included in his first letter, yes. I checked the internet, it was his residential address."

"What does he want from you?" 

"I don't know mom." 

"Is James aware he's been sending letters to you?" 

"Yes," Eva responded. 

"What did he say?" 

"Nothing, I...mean what would he say?" Eva sputtered. 

"You don't know what he wants. Does it mean he never included his intention in any of the letters?" Molly asked. 

"The first letter was an invitation to come and see him, but James, after reading the letter, thinks there is more to it. The second letter was more like blackmail. He said he wants to know why I did it….but you know what mom, I don't care!" 

Molly turned and signaled her maids to leave the bedroom. They all stood up and walked out. They were enjoying the small drama and wanted to know what was inside the envelope. 

"What did you do, sweetheart, talk to me, I'm your mother," Molly moved closer to her. 

"Nothing, mom." 

"Think, my dear; you must have done something to him unknowingly," Molly said with a smooth and low voice. 

"Mom, I haven't seen Julian in person. I only see him on the television, in newspapers, and on social media. I don't need to think, because I'm sure I did nothing to him." Eva said. "Mom, give me the envelope, I need to get it burnt. You won't like what's inside, trust me," Eva tried to take the envelope from her mom, she quickly hid the envelope behind her back. 

"If you are sure you are telling me the truth, then allow me to read what he wrote," Molly said, still hiding the envelope behind her back. 

"Just make sure you dispose it properly after going through it," Eva picked her car key and her diamond ring from the table and began to walk towards the door. "No one can stop the wedding," she muttered on her way out. 

"Wait, Eva!" Molly said. "Are you sure you don't want to read what he sent to you?" Molly asked. Eva waved at her and began to hurry down the stairs. 

Molly glanced down at the envelope and began to open it slowly. 

"Oh my god!" She screamed and sank into a sofa.

Eva walked back to the bedroom to take the phone she left on her bed, she saw her mom staring into space with tears racing down her eyes. 

She walked slowly towards her. She knew the content of the letter was the reason why she was crying. Probably, she had read the part where Julian threatened to turn her wedding day into a day of weeping. 

Eva stood still and continued staring at her mom. 

"Mom, I wanted to set the envelope and the letter ablaze, but you declined. If I had burnt it, you wouldn't be here crying over it." 

"It...is... not... a...letter," Molly stammered with a tear-smothered voice, without looking at her daughter. 

Eva, who did not care about the envelope and its content became panic-stricken. There was a chilled black silence in the bedroom. She couldn't control the spasmodic trembling in her hand as she lowered her hand to take the envelope from her mom.

  • Blackmailed To Marry Him   Chapter 94 The End

    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

  • Blackmailed To Marry Him   Chapter 93. Eva Goes Back To Julian

    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. "Julian, did you just hang up on me?" Dr. Viraj asked. "I'm sorry

    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 stood there, staring at them. James knew she was st

    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

    Molly turned and saw James walking towards them with his hands in his pocket. She quickly swiveled him so he would not look at Eva who had refused to dress up. She was only putting on a g-string. Her chest was bare and her big bounty mounted like two watermelons. "James, please, wait in the lounge, she will be with you shortly," Molly said walking him to the door. "Is everything alright?" James asked. He was quite worried. "Everything is fine. Fetch her father at once.""Mrs. Miles…""Please, wait in the lounge," Molly said and banged the door. "Eva, please go in there and pick any of your nightwear""Mom, please let me be, I'm not thinking straight right now," she said, sitting on her bed again. Molly opened her closet, brought out nightwear, and threw it at her. Eva tossed it aside. "Your dad is coming up to see you, please put on that gown now," Molly said. Eva ignored her and continued staring outside through the window. Molly grabbed her bedsheets and wrapped it around he

  • Blackmailed To Marry Him   Chapter 89.

    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
