Martha tried to reach Damien only to get stopped by his one cold glance. As much as she didn’t want to, not wishing to push his buttons that would get her done with him forever, Martha saw herself out.Damien walked out of his room and reached the bar, irritated with himself. He would have gladly taken the blatant offer that Martha was up to but...As much as Damien could remember, he had liked the company of Martha, and maybe it was because she was the only one who was okay with his ways as well as the hectic schedule that his job had always demanded of him.He never needed to put effort and girls tried to get his attention using any means and just a single smile from him, they were more than happy to throw themselves at his mercy.But still, for the other girls, he was involved with used to throw tantrums for this sometimes thinking their few hours of passionate time were supposed to take them somewhere and he never needed to take another moment of thought to cut them short.Shruggi
Why were things going this wrong with her? Eden thought for a moment as she took her hand to her side. Her ex was standing here in front of her, trying to get a chance to get things clear. As if it was possible! And as if it wasn’t already bad enough, Damien was standing at the doorway of her cabin! For the first time. He never entered her cabin before, then what brought him here today! Eden wondered. But with the situation going on, she couldn't even ask him. But when an awkward silence occupied the room, she tried to come up with whatever her mind supported her, "Sir, Mr. Henderson was.." but trailed off, not getting any suitable word. Damien took a few steps into the cabin and stood in front of Simon. He could feel something was off there. Ignoring Eden's words, he shot to him, "Do you know Eden from before?" Before Eden could say something, Simon spoke up, "Yes. I know her." he took a glance at Eden and then again turned to him as he added with a little bit of smile, "Damien,
As much as Damien was happy to see Eden affected by the closeness they were sharing, he felt angry as well on himself as a thought of need settled in his guts.It was always the girls to crave him. No effort was needed from his side. Until now..He desperately needed this woman. Though she wasn't the type of girls, he liked, she was getting control over his mind in this matter and he hated to lose control.With the little bit of restraint left in him, he pulled away from Eden, acting against his own wish. Not just he retreated from her, he left the cabin as well without uttering anything. As he was well aware, he wouldn't be able to hold back for long with his fizzy mind.A red Eden was left behind. The shade didn't come from anger. Well, not only from anger. A desire stirred in her which she tried to ignore in a futile attempt.She was well aware he was just messing with her but still, she had anticipated he was about to kiss her and dare she say she wanted him to kiss her to no end
"I am done for today." Eden said standing in front of Damien who was sitting at his desk, having a file just opened. "Okay. You can leave now." Damien said as he pretended to be busy in his file already. But when Eden didn't seem to be moving from her place, he frowned as he looked up, "Do you_" His words were stalled when he saw Eden placing the ring on the desk. He glanced at her bare finger for once and then faced her as she said, "I don't think it's necessary for me to wear it anymore. Your father is out of the country and the company is in your control. So, we can stop now, right?" Bewildered, Damien didn't say anything. Was she even real? He wondered. She would give up on the idea of taking a handsome for her act, he really didn't entertain the thought though she kept appearing as unfazed as ever for her own good. But this way she would surely drive him crazy without doing absolutely nothing but being herself only. Why was this girl so unpredictable? Not finding any suitabl
Damien's eyes lingered on her face from just inches away. Say you won't meet anyone. Damien's voice buzzed in her mind as the heated moment from then replayed in front of her eyes. Though Eden said she wouldn't, she was well aware that Damien was just messing with her that time.If he wasn’t, there would have been no visitation from one of his girls to his office that happened earlier today, Martha or something whatever the name was, she was already on her hate list.Not just Damien didn't say anything to stop her when she gave the ring back to him, he smiled at Martha when she appeared at his doorway while he ignored her existence right there.She had left his cabin almost immediately, not wishing to experience worse than this.She was well aware of Damien's reputation with girls and as she had already ended their fake engagement, she shouldn't feel hurt but free to make her decision without feeling guilty. But_Tristan was happy to find Eden not taking her hand out of his hold, not
Damien had called Eden for some reason but when she interrupted his thoughts, he only noticed the movement of her lips as she spoke up. Her full lips had just a bit shade of pink gloss on them that he was tempted to kiss right off and he was sure it wouldn’t take long for it only if she would let her. He moved his gaze away from her lips only to study her face. The woman in front him was much less adorned than the type of woman, he was accustomed to. Her face had only minimum extent of makeup, showing her flawless ivory skin. Her honey dripping eyes though were behind the glasses, were threating to suck all the moisture from him. Her long light brunette curl hair falling well past her shoulders and it looked as if it would be soft to touch. He would be able to sift it through his fingers and watch it spill over his pillow. Her well tailored suit that fitted her all perfectly but in a decent manner but it didn’t keep him away from wanting her. His gaze stopped on her hands. They w
Damien was well aware if not now, there wasn’t hope of getting this opportunity anytime soon again.She wouldn't know.His mind reminded him again but before he got giving in into the thought, he pulled back against his own wish.He never took advantage of any girl and obviously he wouldn’t like to start it by taking advantage of his sleeping heaven.He chose the road over flight because he liked driving and it had been a while he had drove himself away like this.He also wanted to use this chance to discuss over the matter of their fake engagement and find a win win situation for both of them and wished to knock some sense into her head as well and obviously wasn't ready to get this realization dawned upon him.His sleeping heaven!He himself was stunned with the possessiveness he felt over Eden at the moment. Well aware, he shouldn’t feel like this.His thought got interrupted when he noticed Eden stirring, apparently the seatbelt tightly set on her was getting her uncomfortable. Fe
As Damien pulled Eden closer snaking his arm around her waist, Eden flashed him a smile showing her dimples. As if everything got blurred from the background and it were just they were there, with a soft romantic song playing somewhere, spicing the emotions in them.Being lost in each other, they continued to dance passionately. But as the song came to an end and Damien caught Eden in his arms again after swirling her around, the applaud from all around pulled them back to reality. Damien smiled at Eden only to find Martha staring at him with confusion flickering in her eyes.His smile faded away in a matter of seconds. He didn't know when he started assuming Martha as Eden. He never danced with Martha like this. Period. He never danced with her. Martha thought.Damien looked around only to find Eden walking away. Before Martha could ask her something, he left the dance floor and followed Eden. He couldn't believe all the while he was thinking about Eden as he was dancing with Marth
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. Eden could feel her mother was happy for her
27th May_ It was decided for the date of Damien and Eden's wedding. The press released the date and wedding fever hit the town almost immediately. 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
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
