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
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
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
"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
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
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
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
"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
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
