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
Today was the last time she made up her mind to use public transport again.Earlier, she had taken Lucien's word to heart and also realized that she needed to put an end to her public transportation. After she watched Lucien enter his school, she made up her mind to branch out to a car shop and buy a car for herself which led her to be standing outside this car shop. This was her first time visiting this place, when she was still in the car with Lucien she had quickly browsed the internet for the most famous car shop in the country and this was one of the places that popped up on her screen after she pressed her question answer so she decided to go with this place first. That was the reason why she gave the taxi driver the address of this place.This place is one of the most popular car dealers that sells expensive and luxurious cars in the country and most wealthy and rich individuals normally visit this place to purchase cars. Eva finally made her way to the entrance of the buildi
“How much does the car cost?” Eva asked in a composed demeanor. She was sure that it was going to be expensive because of all its cool features but she didn't feel threatened about it anyway.“Well, this car is a whooping sum of fifteen million dollars." The saleslady revealed with an excited expression as she was glad that Eva wouldn't be stepping away from the vehicle but this was the moment of truth to know if her luck would shine at this moment.Eva went silent for a while, thinking about the decision she was going to make. At the same time her silence also made the atmosphere tense and the saleslady was sweating nervously. She was beginning to think that the price was too much for Eva and it was the reason why she was quiet. Even though Eva was dressed in expensive clothes which made her look like she was from a wealthy family, that doesn't mean she can afford to buy the car. After all, it's not all the rich individuals that can afford such an amount of car and this was the sore
Eva sighed, thankfully she hadn't placed that phone close to her ears. If not she was sure that she would have lost her ear due to Nathalia's loud voice. “Chill and calm down. I'm currently driving on the highway. And what news are you talking about?” Eva calmly replied feigning ignorance to what Nathalia was talking about. “Don't tell me to calm down. Why do you love to just shock this friend of yours like this? Besides, what do you mean you're driving?" Nathalia questioned, confused by what Eva meant that she was driving."Well, I bought a car, so I'm actually driving my car now.” Eva responded.“What?! When did you buy a car and didn't let me know." Nathalia pouted her face in anger.“I just did about fifteen minutes ago. Besides, why are you calling me?" Eva inquired.“About that…… we have to meet right now. I will send you the address right away." Nathalia replied.“Fine, I understand. I will meet you there in an hour." Eva said with a sigh. She knows that there is no way for h
