Fake Fiancee Chap_33. Fall for Me
Eden knew Damien wasn’t wrong when he said about her body craving his. Though she didn’t accept it, she knew he picked it all right except for the convenient thing.Nor did she expect Damien to see it in that light. But what she could expect from a player like Damien! Eden sighed with this thought. It was her fault that knowing it all along, she went down that road. For the past few days, she had been trying to talk to Damien but every time, she was in front of him, she couldn’t muster up the courage facing his cold behaviour. She wasn’t even sure why he was behaving so rudely with her than before.And now when he finally admit it himself, it hurt her even more. She wasn’t expecting to have it on her face like this. If there was anything, he was craving her body whereas she was craving for his heart more than his body. And she knew it was just out of the equation. She couldn’t help skipping the hangout with Brenda and Cassandra where she was supposed to go after office today. Instead

Eden didn't know how she found it in her to say everything straight to Damien but she was glad, she said it anyway. The possibility of Damien falling for her was near impossible though and she was well aware of that. Now he would shower her with cold words and show her her place gracefully. She thought. And she needed some of these to get back to the reality. Damien didn't do as per her anticipation, rather he stared at her. His heart stopped few beats as her words got registered in his mind. Her words were simple but frightening at the same time. He shook his head, convincing himself more than Eden that there would be no falling for each other between them. It would just be a marriage of convenience. That's all.Though Damien didn’t do anything like Eden thought, Eden got her answer in his look, in his silence. She got up with an intention to leave but she didn't even make it to few steps ahead before Damien stopped her."What are you_" Eden's words were stalled as Damien kissed her

Early in the evening when Eden got back to her place after office, it seemed strangely quiet like never before. She searched for her parents but having no sight of them, she took out her phone to call her mother as some panicky thoughts crossed her mind. But startling her, her phone started buzzing with the same number flashing on the screen. Eden answered the call without wasting another moment. "Mom, where are you and Dad? You didn't mention going out." Eden said, trying to sound normal."We are at the hospital, Eden." She tried to sound normal but the effort, she was putting in, Eden felt it all."For as usual health checkup on Dad?" Eden said, desperately hoping to hear a yes. Though she knew her father's scheduled check-up routine. It wasn't today, but still two weeks to go to be specific."Eden, Dad isn't well. I brought him to hospital.""What happened to Dad?" Eden's face turned pale as she voiced out.~~All the way the drive to the hospital, Eden felt her heart banging at

When Damien reached his cabin, his as usual coffee wasn't waiting for him. Nor his desk looked like arranged neatly. He took an overall glance at his cabin and then turned to the wall of his cabin. Eden's cabin wasn't next to his but he still stared at it wondering if she wasn't in yet. She had never been late until now. He walked to his desk and took the intercom to make a call to her. His direct phone calls and messages were getting ignored anyway. Her intercom also remained unanswered too much for his irritation. Half an hour passed but there was no sight of Eden and this time, Damien got worried. Did she decide to leave the job? Leave him altogether? Without even bothering to talk to him for once! He took the intercom and called the receptionist to know if Eden was in. Her answer disappointed him even more. He reached for his phone only to notice the text from Eden. She was asking for two days off. No, she wasn’t asking. She was just informing him that she was taking it. Who

Eden waited for a few moments as if wondering whether she was dreaming when Damien said all this. Because she had a strong belief Damien would help her anyway. She was okay with his showing her coldness but she never thought Damien would be this cruel and turn her down when she was in desperate need of money. Even if not for help, to get her because more than her, he was the desperate one to get her to agree with his terms. Or was she being delusional all this time? Damien moved his gaze from the file in his hand and turned to her, "Ms. McBride, what are you waiting for? I said out of my face. NOW." His voice had dropped a few degrees as he uttered the last word and this time, Eden realized she wasn't dreaming like she thought and left from there blinking back her tears. Her only hope was shattered. Now she would have to go back to the hospital nearly empty handed in comparison to the amount, she needed. She exited the office building. Instead of taking a cab or bus, she started

When Eden took another step toward him, Damien casually kept the ring on the desk as if it had nothing to do with her. His voice was as cold as ever when he voiced out, "You should have knocked." "Sorry, Sir. I did a knock. But you didn't respond." Eden replied with a frown. What's the matter with him? Just now he was staring at the ring longingly that belonged to her a few days back. No, not belonged to. She had it on her finger just. Her mind reminded her. "Then you should have waited." Damien said coldly and shoved the ring into the drawer. He turned to her again and said, "Anyways, you were saying something?" "Yes, Sir. You have a meeting in half an hour." "Okay. You go. Arrange it. I will be there." Damien was thinking of asking about her father but at last, he didn't. What's the point? ~~ Two days got passed but the air between Damien and Eden was still dense. None of them tried to clear it having different types of thoughts going on in their mind. Damien was relived findi

Damien knew Eden wouldn't go to visit her father today and that's why he decided to visit him. Not just today but he went there for a few times. He chose the time when he was sure Eden wouldn’t be there. Eden's parents were so warm to him that he couldn't help but visiting them. But what he didn't expect to find out today was the family moment of grief. After talking to Dr. Johnathan, he wasn't feeling assured. He talked to his family Dr. Smith and asked him to take care of the matter. When he saw Eden making her way out of the hospital building, he also took his leave from her mother and followed Eden out. She seemed to be in lost in some thoughts. He had a pretty good idea about it anyway. When Eden pleaded with her father, he could see the desperation in her eyes. Her eyes tell it all that she would do anything for her father. Her father wasn't any less when it came to Eden as well. Suddenly he felt lonely and started missing his parents, missing his cousins, his family. He kn

Moments had passed but they were still lost in each other and when they parted, both of them were breathless. Surprising Damien, Eden looked shy as she looked down refusing to meet his gaze for the first time. Damien chuckled as he cupped her reddened face softly, "Don't worry too much. Everything will be alright." Eden looked into his sparkling bluish iris and nodded softly. She desperately wanted to believe him. She wanted her father to be healthy and with them back here again. Everything would come after that. "See you tomorrow, Eden. Good Night." With that, Damien took his hands to his sides and walked out of her place. A smile crept on her lips as she replayed the happenings in her mind. Damien wasn't the person, she thought of him. He had a soft side in him that he rarely showed to the world. Or maybe he was like this just for her. She would be happy if the latter was the case here. ~~ Damien reached his apartment and after he got freshen up, the first thing he did was call

Fake Fiancee Chap_49. The Wedding
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
Fake Fiancee Chap_48. His Sweet Heaven
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
Fake Fiancee Chap_45. A Night of Jealousy
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
Fake Fiancee Chap_44. Pulling Back
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
Fake Fiancee Chap_43. First Date
"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
Fake Fiancee Chap_41. Might Be Mr. Right
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
