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
Eden McBride, a bubbly, quirky and fun loving girl with a beautiful face and perfect body features. She had spent her 23 years of life coloring with the rules. She had a pretty simple goal for her life which was to get her parents to open the bakery, they dreamed of once.Her father, Stephanie McBride was crippled after getting into an accident and from then, her mother, Evangeline McBride had taken the charge of the family. Besides studying, Eden had done part time jobs to support her mother financially.But Evangeline always made sure whether Eden was lacking anything as no matter what, Eden was their only child and not to mention had always remained their first priority.It was already bad enough for them that Eden has to do some part time jobs to fulfill her needs.When Eden was done with her graduation, she started searching for a job so that she could provide fully for her family and her mother could stop struggling with her job and at some point, fulfill their wish.No matter
Settling down in life and inheriting all his business empire Or losing it forever.Damien had given five years of his life in the family business but never saw it coming to be left with these two options by his father at some point. He wasn't brought up spoiled with getting the company just like that. He had worked hard to get his position there and he wasn't going to give it up anyway and the girl, his father had chosen for him was supposed to be a gold digger. So, dealing with her wasn't going to be hard. Damien thought and agreed to meet the girl. He was sure to scare her out of her mind and get her running for the hills.He wouldn't have to do much anyway. Because one look of him was going to be enough. He had graceful physiques and a greek god look but equally, apart from his playboy nature, he was well known to be a cold and ruthless businessman In business world.But one meeting with the girl was enough to ensure Damien that things weren't going to be likewise anymore... ~~
Irritated out of his mind, Damien entered the cabin of Clarke and uttered, "Dad?"Clarke was sitting at his desk, reading something on the laptop. He turned to Damien when he heard him.As Damien walked to the couch beside the window and slammed on one of the couches there, Clarke got up from his chair and walked near. Settling on the other couch, he faced Damien, "What happened? How did it go?""How did it go!" Damien gave him an incredulous look, "I am definitely not marrying that crazy girl. She says I am not good for her. Can you believe it?"Clarke gave Damien an amused expression as he uttered, "Expected.""What? You sound like you knew it was going to happen.""Yeah. When I asked Eden, she refused outright there at first. So I was expecting something like this. So, how did you feel meeting a girl who didn't fall for your charms like some other girls?" Clarke read Damien's face like the answer was written there.Damien knew where his father was going with this but surprising him,
It was the last meeting for the day and after that, Eden was back real quick to her place. It was a Friday night and one of her best friend, Brenda's birthday. She was expecting to spend a great time with her crew at the nightclub, Red Rose. But when standing in the line for almost an hour in front of the nightclub and still it didn't get them to enter there, she lost her patience and glared at Brenda, "Why out of all the places you have to choose this club for tonight?"Brenda didn't mind her look anyway as she answered dreamily, "Because honey, this is the only place where Adrian, the hottest DJ is supposed to show up today. And obviously, I can't miss this chance, right?""Yeah, right." Eden hardened her look though she knew she was just wasting her energy."Relax, Edie. Let her be. It's her birthday after all." Cassandra, the other one of her best buddies tried to calm her down.Eden knew the reason for their celebration and she was happy that her mind wasn't jammed with unnecessar
Every person has someone in their life. Like really an annoying one. But strangely, their absence bothered us much than their presence. For Damien and Nathaniel, Julian was the person. Three of them were cousins come best friends. They were sitting in the VIP lounge of the nightclub, Red Rose. On some other day Nathaniel was of pretty understanding nature unlike Julian but on days like today, they were nothing but annoying altogether. Since Clarke had left Damien with that condition, they were finding it really thrilling too much for Damien's irritation. Where Damien was expecting his mother, Caroline to be somewhat supportive to get out of this, it came out to be she was more excited than his father Clarke and both of them in unison was hellbound to see him married and according to them settled down. "Damien, so when are we getting the chance of being your best man?" Julian asked dreamily getting Damien pulled out of his thoughts and glared at him. Nathaniel laughed out only to
Thinking of the girls, Damien had been with till now, were obsessed with trying to look flawless and classy with their dresses, jewellery and all. Remembering last night and Eden's spoiled dress, he thought of showing off some money to her first that girls liked the most according to him.. He ordered a dress for her from Nicci, a mall, people getting average paychecks like her wouldn’t even dare think of visiting. Just to taunt her, he even asked to put the price tag in front. Damien expected an amused expression from her anyway but her look got him taken aback instead. He could really make out her words with her expression but was in no mood to take that now. So, pulling out a deadpan expression, he shot first, "Ms. McBride, do you really need this job?" Was that even a question! If it wasn’t necessary, why the hell was she doing it in the first place? Eden pressed her lips tightly though to stop the way out for her words knowing Damien was her boss here and she should stop bein
It was a long back Damien had left the cabin but Eden was still in her chair. She didn't even seem to be in a hurry to leave the cabin as she tried to brace herself.But no matter how much she tried to come up with a way out, she couldn't reach a conclusion.She didn't know why Clarke didn't come to the office today. But she couldn't reach the conclusion that Clarke was well aware of Damien asking her to do this.She didn't know if it was a good idea, she called Clarke but much to her disappointment, the voicemail response came to her hearing for her every attempt.Destiny seemed to be playing a prank on her. A very frightening one to be specific that would cost her so well planned life of hers meeting a dead end in no moment.How come her life reached this point? Eden wondered for a moment.What should she do?It wasn't a marriage that Damien was looking forward to but a game. A game that she never thought of taking a part in. Not even in her worst dream.The shopping bag from Nicci
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.

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
