Fake Fiancee Chap_9. Not an Arrange Marriage Material
Eden's POV "Didn't you hear me? Coffee, two cups." Damien yelled at me. Groaning mentally, I made my way to the refreshment counter. What the hell is going on here! He should at least keep his personal life and professional life separate. The way Laura smiled at him, anyone could tell they didn't have just boss employee relationship but beyond that. Then why the hell he was trying to get married to me! Laura would have been perfect for this role. Then why me! Leaving the thought aside, I made two cups of coffee and made my way back to Laura's cabin. Damien was saying something but just with me appearing at the doorway, he stopped. Like I care! Without bothering to look anywhere, I placed the coffee on the desk and left from there. I thought Clarke would still be in the office but no. After the meeting, he was nowhere to be seen. I barely settled on my chair after entering my cabin when Damien barged into it. His face was cold as ever when he said, "You look bonkers. Take a h

Author's POV When Eden was out for doing the asked, Laura was about to open her mouth but one glance from Damien kept her lips sealed. Damien took a few strides and stood near the window wall seeing down the streets, the bustling city. After one minute or two when he turned to Laura, his look was as cold as ever, "What did you do?" "Damien, I.." Laura started but with the look getting colder, she corrected herself, "Mr. Etheridge, I didn't do anything." "In that case.." Damien's words got interrupted when the door pushed open and Eden entered the cabin. He waited for Eden to say something or at least stay there but all she did was leave from there. He didn't stop her though. He turned to the tray with two cups of coffee. One of them he thought for was Eden actually when he asked. Anyways he reached for one and again stood leaning against the window wall as he took a sip. "What's the progress of getting an announcer? You were working on that." Damien changed the direction of his

Eden stood still at her place as her eyes stubbornly stayed at Damien. His face was gleaming under the bright lights. The masculine jawline looked sharper and firm. His hair looked glossy. Damien was looking far way more handsome in his three-piece suit; a white smooth, cotton shirt, black skinny pants, and slim fit blazer. Damien's laughter dried down when he caught the sight of Eden staring at him. Her eyes strangely looked mesmeric to him today that was not covered with the thick frame glasses that he had been seeing since the very first day of their encounter. His eyes took her appearance in effortlessly and then turned to her face again. Both held each other's gaze for a moment or two before Caroline took Eden to the place where Damien was standing and introduced her to the people who weren't many in number. Just the family members of Damien and some close relatives to be specific. The pleasantries were shared for a good long time and then Damien and Eden were made to stand f

Damien's POV This girl's foolish bravery really amuses me sometimes. What does she think of me actually? "Okay. If it's what you want, I don't mind changing it." I said smiling back at Eden. Her smile died down but Mom's face lit up like a kid at a candy store as she said, "That's like my son." Before I could speak up again, Mom spoke up, "Okay. Now let's go downstairs. Everyone is waiting for you." Nodding at her, we two followed her in tow out of my room and then downstairs. After spending a good few moments, having dinner together and all, Eden along with her family were about to leave. As much as they insisted on not bothering us, Mom was stubborn enough to get them to agree to her demands. Though letting them go by our cars was enough, Mom asked me and Nate to drop them off. So, obviously Eden was with me in my car as I trailed behind the car, Nate was driving other members of Eden's family and her friends home. Breaking the silence and getting things normal, I thought of

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

"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_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
