Author's POV...

As much as Eden wanted to ignore it, she couldn't. This was a normal meeting and Eden was needed to take notes if necessary that she had done it so many times but today things started to go down in another way.

Simon Henderson wasn't fully concentrated on the meeting as well. Instead, his eyes were wandering around Eden every few moments. Eden for a few moments stood pale-faced as her past started greeting her after years but then tried to get herself together.

She tried to focus on the meeting, praying for it to end as soon as possible. When it finally came to its, as usual, successful ending, she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

With her given situation, she didn't want to give Damien another reason to blackmail her.

When Simon left the cabin with his PA following behind, Damien spoke up as he turned the pages of the file they just signed, "You can leave now."

Eden wasn't needed to say it twice and made her way out somewhat relieved that she would have

    The sun rays flickered through the curtains and fell on her face. Eden stirred in her sleep and turned to the other side as she tried to fall asleep again. But the throbbing headache didn't let her. Still, she tried to keep her eyes shut, praying the headache to go down soon. But just after a few minutes when she felt the warmth of the unfamiliar comfy comforter as well as the bed, she snapped open her eyes only to find herself in an unfamiliar place. She sat up immediately as her eyes traveled all over the place on their own. The bed as well as the room was empty except for her. Her throbbing headache was long forgotten as she looked all around the gigantic room once again. She tried to remember how she ended up here as she came out of the comforter and got down from the bed immediately. Last night she was at the club with Cassandra and Brenda and then she picked a random stranger. She danced with him and then... Her eyes immediately trailed down at herself. Her very own dress fro

    ...Eden's POV...In the morning when the driver drove me to my destination, I swore to myself not to drink again and sent a yearnest prayer to heaven not to face the man ever again with whom I spent last night doing what I didn't even want to recall.But here he was again in front of me at the doorway of Demon's cabin standing beside Nathaniel. The way we two were barking at each other, there was no way he didn't hear it. But more than that what surprised me was his smile.He was smiling at me so warmly but it only made me feel embarrassed. I looked everywhere but him. I was thinking of a way to escape from there anyhow. Strangely, Damien made it easy for me."Leave." He said coldly. I turned to him to know who was he referring to only to find his hard glare at the young man beside Nathaniel. Just after a few moments, Damien turned to me, "I asked you to leave. Get back to your cabin.""Okay, Sir." I responded and took my leave as soon as possible keeping my head down.I got into my ca

    Damien's POV When I saw Eden getting close to the only person I hated the most on the earth, I stood glued to my place for a few moments. Tristan Hoult.The heir of Hoult Enterprise as well as a billionaire playboy. I thought of Eden to be of a different type when she stood her ground in front of me, not falling for me, for my looks or my status. The girl beside me who was trying to call dibs on me from the moment I entered here, was still saying something seductively but my gaze stayed rooted on the dance floor as they walked there. I handled it till I couldn’t anymore. Nate and Julian were waiting for me in the VIP lounge. I knew I should just reach them and spend the night likewise, drinking one of my favorite brands and then.. My thought got paused when I turned to the dance floor again. The faces of Eden and Tristan were getting close. With anticipation, I seethed in anger. Before I could think much, pushing off the girl who was clinging to me, I had ascended the stairs and

    Eden was so sure that Cassandra was never going to agree to this job. But for once she thought of trying. Well aware her place was not a good option for this discussion nor the apartment where Brenda would be present. So, she had to behave so unlikely of her and call Cassandra out for a dinner. After waiting for almost half an hour, an ever so energetic Cassandra reached Eden and settled on the chair across from her. "Sorry, Edie. I got some work to finish. Anyways, what's the urgent matter? It was for the first time you know. It was always Brenda or me to get you to agree to an outing." Cassandra stopped as she read Eden's face, "What's the matter, Edie? Did anything happen?" "Nothing like that. I got a job for you." Eden said, trying to be all smiling. Cassandra knitted her brows in confusion, "For me?" "Yeah." Eden smiled as she asked her to be a part of the team being an announcer for a big project where she would earn a handsome amount. Everything was okay. Cassandra was just

  • Fake Fiancee   Chap_18. Uncomfortable Irritation

    As much as Eden tried to hide her teary eyes from Damien, he had already seen it clear. And a not so wanted feeling settled in his guts. Damien drove roughly all the way to his penthouse as the same thoughts crossed his mind. He shouldn't have asked her the question not at least when she had already answered the question in front of her parents. Not when she was still trying to meet his irrelevant demand. But he knew Hoult. If he had taken it this far to throw it open to him, he wasn't joking or something. And the way he had seen Eden approaching him, she would gladly accept him most probably. Eden never seemed to give a damn about him. So, there was no way she approached him being jealous of seeing him with a girl. He couldn't be the reason behind her behavior from that night. Did Eden just fall for Hoult at first sight? Did she? But he was also a billionaire playboy just like him. Then? Just like she said at their first meeting he was not good for her. Did she mean it then!!

    "Okay, then you guys continue. I will take my leave." Julian spoke up when he got his presence was getting ignored. He also had some work but not at the office.Damien voiced out, "Okay." and Eden flashed him a small smile as he walked past them."Make me a coffee." Damien demanded, thinking it would be enough to drive the giddiness away that was seeming to be making way for him.He really needed his bed and a few hours of sleep now. But after knowing about Hoult trying his hand to impress Eden and waiting for chances, the idea of bed and sleep was out of his mind immediately.Making Eden unavailable was his only goal now and he saw it to be fruitful. He would keep her too busy to have time for going on dates with Hoult.Nodding at him, Eden made her way to the refreshment counter and made the coffee as per Damien's choice.She was so tempted to have one too but had to give up the urge. Last night wasn't as usual for her as well. She was never a girl to care what others thought about h

    When the traffic light turned green and the cars from behind honked startling them, their staring moment came to an end. Eden pulled out her finger and freed her hand from his hold as well. As she covered the specific finger with her other hand, the heat spread all over her body. It wasn't supposed to go down this way. She wasn't supposed to feel like this. Not with Damien at least. She kept reminding her in mind over and over all the way to her. For Damien, he was getting frustrated with himself, not knowing why he was behaving that way. Both of them remained silent the rest of the drive, trying to get together their thoughts. After almost half an hour, they reached their destination and Damien pulled up the car by the entrance of her place. He gave her a side glance, "Get out." Not like Eden was expecting some good words from him before parting ways but as he took it into consideration to drop her home since it was late at night, he could as well behave not rude at the very lea

    As Damien pulled Eden to him, she fell on his chest. She pulled away immediately though as she snapped at Damien, "What are you doing? Leave me." "That's what I should ask you actually. What are you doing?" Damien glared at her as he matched her tone. "What did I do?" Eden asked as she tried to wriggle out of his hold. "You are going out with Tristan, right? Isn't this what you said when you called him?" "How did you know I called him?" Eden asked him being more than just confused. "I was there with him then. Now say.." Damien glared at her as if challenging her to lie on his face again! "I called him to ask him to stop with his flowery things. That's all." Eden said looking straight into his eyes, frustrated with herself that she took it that far to care to explain her doing to Damien and then jerked away from his hold. Damien got her words registered in his mind but still kept holding onto them. Before he could voice out something, Eden spoke up, "Your father was looking forwa

    Finally, the day reached.The wedding day... The most important day of every person's life. Standing in front of the mirror, Damien looked at his reflection, adjusting his cuffs and moving a hand over the Armani suit, he was wearing. Today was the day when he would be taking vows for a lifelong commitment to his love without bothering to think about what the future was holding on to. But whatever be it, he would make it as long as Eden was with him. Suddenly, he felt like talking to Eden and called her immediately.Eden was just done getting ready and her friends were also out of her room when her mother entered. "You are looking so beautiful, honey."Her mother stared at her as she continued with her eyes getting glossy. "Time flies so fast, doesn't it? You were just a little girl and now you are getting married. I am so happy for you that you are about to start your new family with Damien. He really loves you a lot." Evangeline said.

Though Eden wanted a simple wedding, Caroline had made it very clear she would not be cheated out of her one chance to throw the grandest wedding Rock Castle had ever seen. The wedding of Damien was a dream come true for her and she was determined to make their special day the talk of the town for years to come. It was just two days now before the wedding and the preparation was going on in full swing. Damien wanted to get involved in some arrangements but with Eden's too much of worries and Nathaniel threatening to tell the truth about his donating kidney to his father, he didn't. Eden wasn't allowed to do anything. Her going to the office was prohibited as well. All she was asked to take proper rest or sleep which was necessary to get the bridal glow according to Caroline and her friends. Eden's parents couldn't be happier finding he

    "Why?" Eden looked up at Damien, "Why did you do it?""What did I even do?" Damien tried to feign ignorance as he quickly threw his shirt on, his hands busy buttoning it up."About the kidney, you were the donor, right?" Eden snapped as she got up and walked closer. "Eden, I_""It should have been me. He is my father. You didn't need to be this way, Damien." Eden's heart started feeling heavy all of a sudden. She had read about the side effects of kidney donation. For her, it was okay but if something happened to Damien, how would she handle it knowing for her he was like that?"Eden, I just wanted to see you happy and I did what it took me for having your smile back." Damien said as he got near and cupped her face gently. He wasn't sure if he would do that but after seeing her breaking down on the sidewalk, it wasn't in him to stop himself from going down that route."Even if you have to hurt yourself along the way?" Eden asked. It wasn't like a question though. It was more of a sta

    Eden tossed on her bed for hours wondering about the reason behind Damien's sudden mood change at the restaurant. Did she do something wrong? Was it about their early wedding decision? But he only said he wanted to marry her. Then_ The memory of her meeting Tristan popped into her mind. Did he see them together then? She wondered. It seemed to be making sense as just after that she found him in a foul mood. But Tristan was only wishing her luck with him. Anyways, if it was the matter, he should have just asked her about it. Shouldn't he? She reached for her phone to call him right then but the time was 1 in the morning and it changed her decision. She didn't intend to disturb his sleep. Taking a mental note to talk to Damien about it first thing after her going to the office the next morning, she left her mind at rest and at some point, fell asleep. The next day, when Eden entered Damien's cabin in the morning, he wasn't in yet. She set his desk and made her way out to make his c

    The weekend was total bliss for Eden. She felt as if she was living a dream. Damien seemed to be the prince charming she was waiting for to come. With him, she totally forgot about her past with Simon. With Damien, she felt warmth, loved, and secured like never before. Not to mention, she loved the feeling. She felt like she could forget all her worries, her heartache and all. She felt like she was at the edge of the cliff about to fall, but with Damien behind her ready anytime to hoist her up. Damien's parents were back and they were angry with them for a while as well for not informing them about Eden's father. But then he was okay now and above that, they couldn't be happier seeing Damien and Eden this much affectionate to each other. Things took a turn in the other direction as Damien's mother proposed for the early wedding. They were left to take the decision of the wedding date and all by themselves though. It would have been easy for Damien if Eden would have opposed it as

    The sun was down long back and the numerous stars in the sky were providing light making the night gracefully lit up. Eden and Damien were still sitting by the beach on the sand.Eden stared at Damien being amused as he laughed while sharing his happy times on this beach with his cousins and parents. It wasn't an arrogant smirk or something. The smile was genuine. It was for the first time she saw him opening up to her like this and not to mention she loved it. She would have fallen in love with him if she wasn't already.When Damien sensed her intense gaze on him, he smirked and before Eden could move her gaze away, he crashed his lips on hers. Eden was stunned for a moment but then she responded to his kiss with the same passion and intensity. Their lips moved in sync sensually. Damien's one hand trailed to her back pulling her closer, carefully resting on her hips, massaging the fabric of her dress.Though the touch wasn't direct, Eden felt the electricity flowing all over her body

    "You aren't peeking, are you?" Damien asked as he led Eden somewhere with his hand covering her eyes. As the air was gotten clear between them, they immediately remembered it was supposed to be their first date actually. Damien said he had a surprise for her. If Eden felt excited about it, Damien was somewhat nervous. He didn't let it get his best though. It was for the first time, he was doing it for a girl and he wanted Eden to enjoy it. "I am not, Damien." Eden smiled. She really didn't think of Damien doing this type of cheesy stuff rather she thought him to be rude, arrogant, selfish, in short, a self-centered person. She was happy that she was proved wrong though. "Wait, I may have to pick you up." Damien said and before Eden could say something, she felt his arms wrapped around the back of her thighs and shoulders hauling her up. A gasp left her mouth. "Relax." Damien whispered hoarsely and when he sensed Eden would open her eyes any moment, he spoke up again, "And don't o

  • Fake Fiancee   Chap_42. Snap Decision

    Eden couldn't believe that paparazzi had already found them here. She turned to Damien who looked unaffected at the whole thing as if it were just a normal thing for him. But then he was most probably used to this type of thing by now. Not to mention he didn't just get the title of being one month prince out of nowhere. Besides, she had seen him facing journalists straight and doing lots of TV interviews in her short time with him. She was with him sometimes but her role was standing behind him as his secretary in a tailored suit. But today seeing her like this with Damien, they would never think of them that way for sure.Any moment now, she would be added to the list as one of the women, Damien had fun with.Just at the thought, she was hurt. She never thought things would end up like this for her. The excitement she felt earlier had died long back as her face got darkened in embarrassment and pain.Damien frowned at her expression as Eden had her head bowed down. He couldn't g

    Damien reached his cabin a little bit late than usual. He was thinking about taking another day off and spend with Eden but after hearing her, he couldn't think himself of doing it anymore. A file was opened in front of him but his mind was wandering about other obvious things. But the more he was thinking into the matter, the more he was enraged. Why wasn’t Eden seeing he was totally into her? Why was he being taken in the wrong way for whatever he did? When would he hear something good from her? When would she have a little bit of trust in him as in trust in them? He was hell worried for her whereas she was thinking he was spending his time with some other girl! Nathaniel entered his cabin knocking once. Placing a file on his desk, he sat across from Damien, waiting for Damien to acknowledge his presence but he seemed to be lost in some thoughts. Getting enough of his silence, he spoke up, "What's the matter? You weren't even supposed to be here today." Damien was startled for
