“Uh,” Nathalia trailed off after they released the handshake. She glanced at the hesitant Eva to the happy looking Lucas.

“Eva, is it true that you'd be attending the birthday party of the Grason patriarch this weekend?" Lucas suddenly asked.

Eva glanced at him for a moment then nodded her head in response.

“Then do you already have a date? I can be your date-"

“I already have a date." Eva suddenly cut off Lucas.

“Oh, really. If you don't mind, can I ask who your date is?" Lucas asked curiously. He wanted to know if there was another man he didn't know about.

“Nathalia. She is my date to the party." Eva curtly replied with a serious expression.

Lucas was taken aback when he heard Eva, he glanced at Nathalia who gave him a small smile and nodded her head. “It's true, I'm going to be my best friend date to the party. “ Nathalia confirmed.

“I see," Lucas nodded and the three of them fell into silence waiting for the first person to speak again.

Nathalia glanced back and forth between E

    Eva paused. Who is this? She suddenly became on high alert as she took a good look at the driver. But then, she noticed a small golden pin on the chauffeur's suit. She narrowed her eyes and faintly made out a symbol of the Cross family.Instantly, she knew who sent the man. Eva swallowed hard as she had no choice. There was a saying that goes: Be Careful not to run away from the tiger and fall into the hands of the lion.However, in her case . To escape from the tiger, she had to get into the dragon's cave. Eva forced a small smile, tightening her grip on Nathalia. “Ah, is the driver you sent for?" Eva loudly asked, making sure that Lucas heard it well.“Yes." Nathalia calmly replied, making the whole scenario look real. Unlike Eva who was on high alert, she knew the driver was from the cross family and it was Damien that had sent him to come and pick them up. But she didn't want to act like she knew since Eva doesn't know that Damian was her cousin, so she has to continue acting cl

    Eva saw the chauffeur glance at them through the rearview mirror again. When their eyes met, he offered her a friendly smile and quickly looked away.“Though, I doubt any one among them can ever meet the standard of yours truly, Damien Cross." Nathalia snorted. Somehow she felt that Damien was starting to steal Eva away from her.Eva forced another laugh. " Oh, please. You're making us seem way too familiar-”" Yeah, yeah, sure.” Nathalia quickly hugged Eva and released the embrace." I'll see you later.” Nathalia elegantly stopped out of the car and as expected, she gained people's attention the moment she alighted the car.Eva let out a soft sigh and leaned against the window, watching how Nathalia elegantly strutted her way to the company entrance." Where are we going?” Eva asked the driver when the car began to move down the busy road again."To our destination.” The chauffeur informed, stepping harder on the gas. He was instructed to do incase Eva made an attempt to run.“And whe

    Eva gulped and pressed her knees together, glaring dagger at Damien. She knew she shouldn't have gotten into this car. Now, she was in the dragon's cave with no way to escape.“Are you aware that this is kidnapping?” Eva peered at Damien."Is it? Did anyone forcefully drag you into the car?” Damien asked back without sparing a glance at Eva.Eva's face dropped, she knew this is what would end it all. The fact that she had willingly entered this car in the first place can't even be considered as kidnapping. Even though Eva knows the truth she wasn't going to give up because her survival depends on it. " I'm going to scream bloody murder if you don't let me out." She threatened.Damien shrugged. " Wouldn't be the first time you've screamed loudly in my bed.” Eva could only look at him like he was crazy when she heard him. “What?" Damien asked as if he hadn't just dropped a bomb. Eva hated the things that this man could do to her. A single glance in her direction was enough for her en

    Eva finger traced the prominent veins on his masculine hand. “The truth about how you knew so many personal things about me?""Will you kiss me if I tell you?” Damien bantered.Eva paused for a while before she let out a small laugh. “If that's what would take you to tell me the truth. It's just a kiss." Hearing her response, he gritted his teeth as his jaw tightened, his eyes flashed dangerously and in an instant, Damien grabbed her hand and yanked her closer to him. “Do you agree with every man that asks for a kiss just easily?” Damien beseech in a cold voice that sent shivers down her spine. “Didn't you request for a kiss in order to tell me the truth?" Eva shot back. " If you're so desperate to know the truth, then kiss me.” Damien uttered in a soft voice.Eva swallowed. He was the one to start this game of seduction and she decided to join him, so she had to finish it. "Maybe if you plead with me to do it.” Eva had a cunning smile on her face as she leaned closer towards him

    “I didn't say that. I was just a little surprised to see that you're being nice to me while we are still working. It's unlike you.” Nathalia replied. She knew that her manager was a little bit harsh on her but only she knew the nice and warm hearted personality her manager possessed. But it was only whenever they were no longer working does her manager show this side to her, so seeing her manager suddenly being nice made Nathalia surprised. Her manager chuckled when she heard Nathalia. “You make it sound like I'm a demon. Anyways you've been working so hard, so I just wanted to be nice to you." She replied.“If you say so." Nathalia shrugged her shoulders not wanting to argue any further. If her manager was being nice to her, then she should just enjoy it and not question too much. Nathalia placed her phone beside her and grabbed the cup of iced tea. “Yes, I almost forgot!" Her manager suddenly exclaimed "What is that?” Nathalia asked after taking a sip from her drink.“It's about

    She wouldn't have been this scared if it was the Eva she knew before, because no one dares to pick on Eva in the society. Instead it was Eva who always picked on them. But with her current condition, there are going to be a lot of socialites attending this party not because it's the Grason patriarch's birthday but to basically pick on Eva. “That’s exactly why I planned to go with her as her date. However, my plans got ruined by those fools threatening me. How long is my contract with them?” Nathalia asked. “Well, toi still have about six months to go before the contract we signed with them expires." Her manager replied." I'm never signing a contract with them. But for now that is the least important thing to be worried about.” Nathalia mumbled as she nervously chewed on her manicured fingernails. She had told Eva that she would be at the party with her, so it was not possible to tell Eva again that she can't go with her. Nathalia knew that she needed to resolve this matter one way

    “What brought you here? Or did you come to insult me?" Damien demanded, knowing that Nathalia must have been in some kind of trouble and that was the reason why she is here." I came here for other reasons. Do you have plans this sunday?” Nathalia asked.Damien didn't quickly reply to Nathalia as he stared hard at the file in front of him. “What does that have to do with you?" Damien questions back.“Alright, it's no use talking to you right now." Nathalia muttered as she turned her attention to Shane behind her. “Did he get invited to the Grason patriarch's birthday banquet that would be held in two days?" Nathalia pointed at Damien and asked Shane, knowing that Damien would give her the response she wanted.“Yes, Boss was invited to the party as well." Shane nodded, curious to know what Nathalia was up to by asking such a question.“Is this workaholic brother of mine attending the party?" Nathalia asked, not failing to use the little opportunity to insult Damien.“Ah, no. I'm not s

    Did he think that she was seriously going to believe that?“Can you just do this one favor for me and be Eva's date to the party?" Nathalia urged. She knew that getting Damien to be Eva's date wouldn't be easy but she didn't realize and expected it to be this difficult.“Did you realize that she would find out about our relationship if I went to the party instead of you?” Damien uttered." Eventually, she would still find out about our relationship as cousins. And I hate lying to my best friend because my cold and aloof older cousin threatens me not to tell.” Nathalia said as she ran her finger through her hair. "Besides, why don't you want her to know the truth?" Nathalia asked out of curiosity." None of your business." Damien coldly replied."Tsk. I don't want to know either. Just tell me that you're going to the party." Nathalia pouted her face when Damien refused to tell her why he didn't want Eva to know about them.“She says she doesn't wish to see me again, so I want to avoid

    “I... I’m starting to think Eva might be trying to sabotage me. You know, with the awards coming up, and her growing popularity... I just have this feeling she’s trying to push me out of the competition,” Christine said, her voice trembling slightly as if she was on the verge of breaking down. She knew Mark would respond to weakness, to vulnerability, just as he always had.Mark’s voice was low, filled with annoyance. “What do you mean, sabotage you? She’s already got the public on her side. What else does she want?”“I don’t know, Mark. But I can’t shake the feeling that she’s behind some of the things happening to me lately,” Christine continued, carefully planting the seed of doubt. “She’s been getting more endorsements, more media attention... She’s always one step ahead, and I feel like she’s using me to boost her own career. Maybe she’s trying to push me out of the spotlight, making sure I don’t have a chance to win.”Mark was silent for a moment, processing the information. Chr

    Eva didn’t respond immediately. She could feel the seriousness in Everett’s words, and for a brief moment, the playful rivalry between them was pushed aside.Everett’s eyes softened slightly as she looked at Eva, a rare glimpse of concern flickering in her gaze. “What are you going to do about her? She’s the one who caused my accident but had that person lie he was a fan, right? Also with the recent things happening, I can tell she’s been pulling strings, trying to break you down.”Eva's expression hardened, her grip tightening on her wine glass. “I’m not sure yet. But Christine’s time is running out.” She gave a slight, bitter laugh. “I won’t let her destroy me.”Everett studied Eva for a moment, her face unreadable. “Be careful, Eva,” she said quietly, her tone more serious than Eva had ever heard. “Christine’s dangerous. And she’s got a way of making everyone believe her sweet little act.”Eva took a deep breath, looking away briefly as she processed Everett’s words. The concern wa

    The day of the event arrived, and Christine was glowing with victory. Dressed in an elegant gown, she enjoyed the attention as she mingled with industry elites, knowing she was now the headlining speaker.With Eva out of the picture, this was her moment.Then the doors opened.Gasps rippled through the crowd as Eva walked in, effortlessly poised, wearing a breathtaking designer dress. The cameras instantly shifted toward her, flashing in rapid succession.Christine’s smile faltered. “What is she doing here?”Before she could react, the event host stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand.“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special surprise. While there were some scheduling changes, we’re honored to have Eva here tonight.”Christine stiffened. “What? That’s impossible!”Eva merely smiled, making her way toward the front.Kai had pulled the right strings behind the scenes. Even if she wasn’t an official speaker anymore, she was still one of the biggest names in the room—and the audience

    Christine was livid. Every attempt to ruin Eva had backfired, and now, the industry was beginning to suspect foul play.Her carefully crafted innocent image was slipping, and she refused to let that happen.Gripping her phone tightly, she dialed Tanya, her voice sharp the moment the call connected."Tanya, listen carefully. I don’t care what it takes—pull every string, bribe whoever you need to, but make sure Eva does not attend the upcoming fashion event. I want her out, completely.”Tanya hesitated. “Christine, are you sure about this? Maybe you should—”“Don’t question me!” Christine snapped, her frustration boiling over. “Do you think I have the luxury of waiting? Eva is already taking the spotlight. If this continues, I won’t even be considered for the Top Ten Models Award!”Tanya sighed. “Fine. I’ll see what I can do. But Christine, be careful. You’re playing a dangerous game. If this backfires, it could cost you everything.”Christine scoffed. “Please. Eva won’t be able to prov

    Christine sat alone in the dimly lit hotel, her fingers lightly tapping against the side of her untouched wine glass. The usually confident and composed woman looked lost in thought, her expression unreadable as she stared at the city skyline beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.Everything she had planned against Eva had backfired spectacularly. Instead of destroying Eva’s reputation, she had only fueled the public’s admiration for her. The industry was turning against Christine, and the narrative was slipping out of her control.A soft click of heels echoed through the room, breaking Christine from her thoughts.“Christine?”She turned her head slightly, finding Tanya standing near the entrance, a curious look on her face.Tanya was one of the few people Christine trusted—or rather, tolerated—because she was useful. Smart, cunning, and always willing to play dirty, Tanya had been by Christine’s side long enough to know exactly how far she was willing to go to get what she wanted.“Wh

    A few days after Mark successfully cleared his name from the Harper Luxuries scandal, Christine sat alone in her dressing room, her perfectly manicured fingers tapping impatiently against the vanity table.She had tried everything—sabotage, whispers in the right ears, carefully placed rumors—yet Eva always came out unscathed. Every plan Christine devised had crumbled before her eyes, and it was beginning to drive her insane.If indirect tactics didn’t work, she had to change her approach. This time, she wouldn’t hide behind shadows. She wouldn’t need to.Instead, she would manipulate the situation so well that Eva would ruin herself.All she needed was the perfect stage.---An exclusive fashion gala was set to take place, attended by top designers, influencers, and media elites. Both Eva and Christine had been invited as brand ambassadors for their respective labels.Christine smirked to herself. This was it. The perfect opportunity.She had carefully arranged for the media’s attenti

    The dim candlelight cast a golden glow over the elegantly set dining table. A soft melody played in the background, filling the room with warmth. Christine had spent hours preparing this—his favorite dishes, the finest wine. Tonight had to be perfect.She glanced at the clock anxiously. Mark would be home soon. And she had to fix this.The front door finally opened, and Mark stepped inside. His face was tired, his eyes dark with frustration. He didn’t even glance at the romantic dinner she had prepared. Instead, he sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair.“Christine, what is this?” His voice was cold.Christine swallowed and stepped toward him. “A dinner. For us.”Mark scoffed, shaking his head. “A dinner? Christine, do you have any idea what I’ve been dealing with? My father’s furious. Investors are backing out after the Harper Luxuries. I've lost of funds.” His voice grew sharper, filled with exhaustion. “And do you know what people are whispering? That my own fiancée might

    The silence between them was thick with unspoken thoughts, but Damien wasn’t one to leave things unresolved. He turned slightly, his piercing gaze fixed on her.“Why didn’t you ask for my help?” His voice was calm but held an edge of something deeper—something close to frustration.Eva, who had been absentmindedly tracing the rim of her wine glass, glanced at him. A small smirk curled her lips, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Because it was something I could handle,” she said simply. “Like always.”Damien’s expression remained unreadable, but his fingers curled slightly against his knee. “And if you couldn’t?”Eva shrugged. “Then I would have asked. But it wasn’t time for that yet.”That answer didn’t satisfy him. He exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple. “Eva—”“I know what you’re going to say,” she interrupted, meeting his gaze head-on. “You think I should have let you take care of it. But Damien, I don’t always need you to fight my battles. Sometimes, I want to win them on my own

    Eva sat on the couch, feeling bored. The scandal had caused too much noise, and going home—where the paparazzi were undoubtedly lurking—was out of the question.With a sigh, Eva reached for her phone and scrolled through her contacts. Her finger hovered over Damien for a moment before she pressed the call button.The phone rang twice before his deep, smooth voice came through. “Eva.”Just her name. Nothing more. But there was something in the way he said it—low, controlled, yet sharp with attention—that made her exhale slowly.“Hey,” she murmured, leaning against the plush headboard.Silence. Then, “What’s wrong?”She almost smiled. He always saw through her.“I can’t go home,” she admitted, rubbing her temple. “The reporters are camped outside. And after today’s interview… they’ll only get worse.”Damien didn’t answer immediately. She could hear the faint rustling of papers, the click of a pen, before he finally spoke. “Where are you?”“Penthouse suite at the Grand Royale,” she repli
