“Mom, you were right. I eventually grew up to be just as you expected, I wish you were here to witness it." Eva softly muttered to herself, nearly breaking into tears.Eva watched her face one more time in order to compose herself back but it wasn't working as she was still filled with too much emotion. She decided to force herself out of the bathroom despite the fact that her gaze was hazy due to the water of the tears threatening to pour down her face.Just after Eva walked out of the bathroom and took a few steps further, she suddenly lost her balance. Eva was prepared to fall down when a strong hand caught her. Her head snapped up and saw Damien before her through her blurry vision.“.... Dam…ien…..?” Eva called out in order to confirm if it was him. Her legs gave out again but he caught her again.Damien steadied her against his chest, his arms wrapped around her trembling body. He pressed his palm against her lower back, pulling her small waist towards him.“Shh….. I've got you
Eva raised her head up and peered into his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the fire burning within them. He wasn't even touching her yet, but it already feels like he had undressed her.“This blazer belongs to my brother.” Eva finally admitted, not wanting to push her luck any further. Damien paused. His gaze flickered to the blazer and observed it carefully. It was a much smaller size than Lucas' body frame, but the blazer still hung loosely on her body and that was because Lucien was bigger and taller than Eva. Even though she was also tall, she didn't have a big body frame. So she was telling the truth. “From the same parents?" Damien beseech."Same father. But he is my blood.” Eva replied Damien relaxed a little bit when he heard her. “Good."“Good," Eva repeated.“Marvelous." Damien mused, trying to see if she would say anything else.“Fantastic…..” To his dismay, Eva did.Damien narrowed his eyes, did she think it was a game? Eva's eyelashes fluttered and she loo
“Did you seriously not remember me?" He asked but Eva frowned at him again.“I do and that is because you've been crossing my path constantly and I'm beginning to wonder if you have someone stalking me. Now does that answer your question?" Eva impatiently replied. " I see.” Damien muttered as he released her wrist. "Go.” He shoved her lightly towards Lucas.“Hey-" Eva stumbled at the movement, she was about to turn around and complain when Damien interrupted her.“Remember me well." He commanded. “You can have as many boy toys as you wish, but remember this… .you will always belong to me.” Damien remarks, before Eva could respond to him he stalked off. Despite the fact that Lucas was standing behind her, Eva's gaze was still focused on Damien. How could she not? Damien's long legs carried him down the hallway. He rested a hand in his pocket, revealing the white shirt that clung onto his broad shoulder, outlining his powerful muscles. Not once did he look back, not like he had a rea
The moment Eva stepped out, blinding lights flashed in front of her eyes. Soon enough, Lucas stood directly behind her. And together, they were captured by the paparazzi for everyone to see. Very soon, the entire country would know that Evangeline Carter and Lucas Sander were on a date.Eva froze, it felt like roots grew from the ground, tying and keeping her in place. The lights flashed before her eyes, enough to cause her a seizure.She tried to compose herself but couldn't. Eva just opened and closed her mouth as the paparazzi took pictures one after the other, until her vision turned white.“Miss Carter, look this way!"“Miss Carter, are you and Lucas Sander official?!” "Where have you been all this while, Miss Carter after your failed wedding day?”"Is this a date?”Questions after the other were thrown at Eva. Eva trembled slightly, her breath caught up in her throat and her mind went blank. She couldn't think, much less blink or even react at the moment.Eva felt like she was
“Of course, of course, you'll be the only man my step daughter ever meets.” Laura responded in an assuring tone. “Although, you might have noticed how stubborn and prude she is, but I can assure you that she's not the kind of person to have many men around-” Laura was unable to complete her words when she was interrupted by Lucas."Then why is Damien Cross always seen with her?” Lucas snapped. Laura blinked for a couple of seconds. “I don't-" Lucas hung up the call, before Laura could respond." What the?!” Laura glared at the phone screen.Meanwhile in the car, Lucas let out a huge sigh and slammed his hand on the steering wheel. He scowled at the memories of Eva and Damien. He hated to admit it, but they both looked good together. There was a spark between those two and it was electrifying and the sight of them kept people on their toes. He gritted his teeth together and leaned back on his car seat. “Be patient." Lucas mumbled as he breathed out.Whether she liked it or not, afte
The next morning, Eva woke up after having one of the terrible nightmares about the past. She was quite surprised that she was having a nightmare because for the past few days she hadn't had one which made her believe that she was cured from her terrible dreams.However, she realized that she had hoped too soon because she would always be haunted by the past. Evangeline hoped and wiped the sweats that formed on her forehead and let out a sigh.“This will never end, will it?" She muttered softly to herself, before shoving the blanket off her legs and placed her foot down wearing the white slippers that were placed on the side of the bed. She rose up from the bed and headed straight to the bathroom to shower.After a few minutes, Eva walked out of the bathroom and made a way to the wardrobe and picked out a new set of clothes. It didn't take much time before she was fully dressed in navy blue shorts, a white button hub shirt and a long navy blue blazer jacket that was just a few inches
“Why did you bring me here?” Lucien asked as he glanced at Eva who had brought him towards a room door.“I have something to get from here, so I wanted you to come along before you cause any more trouble with your mother. It's too early for that." Eva replied.“But you've never let me once enter this place so why did you suddenly want me to enter this room along with you?” Lucien questioned. Eva had never once let Lucien enter the room because only she had the keys to the room and the things behind the door were precious to her.The room belong to Shenley when she was still alive, and after she died Eva had kept all of her mother's belongings in this room and only she had the access to the room, not even Matthew had the access to the room because Eva have made the room with a security code and only Eva knew the password."I know that and that is why I am bringing you here.” Eva muttered without looking at Lucien and entered the password to the room and opened the door.“Come in," Eva
“You are never going to come back here, are you?” Lucien suddenly asked, making Eva turn her head at him with a small gentle smile on her face. After a few minutes of just staring at him, she finally opened her mouth.“I'm not sure." She curtly responded while shaking her head.“I wouldn't come back if I were you, not after what happened?” Lucian coldly voices out. Eva giggled at his words. “I came here because of you and what happened was a given, because those two would have come up with another way to make all of this happen.” she replied. She knew for a fact that both Matthew and Laura would come up with another plan just to get her to go on another date with Lucas.“Then, if I'm the only one you came here to visit, don't. I would be the one to come and visit you whenever you wish to see me.” Lucien uttered and you looked away.Eva paused for a few moments taking her aback by surprise at what Lucian said. She hasn't heard him make an offer to visit her for once ever since she mov
