“Can you remember what she had consumed within the past three hours?” The doctor questioned, gently flipping to a page on his tabloid. “No," Damien curtly answered, staring at Eva's face.“I see. Well, according to the treatment required that we gave her, we discovered unknown certain drugs and bacteria were found in her system. The sudden occurrence of high levels of bacteria attacking her immune system might've overworked her body. The drugs found were also used as an overdose. I mean to say that one pill of that drug is considered an overdose because of the chemicals in one pill and without being monitored under medical expertise it could be highly dangerous to take these drugs alone. Plus, we didn't just find one of these drugs in her system but three pills in her system which are on a whole different level of dangerous. If she was an hour late before being brought to the hospital, she might be in a critical condition because the drugs would have circulated throughout her body by
“That will be all for now so I will be taking my leave. I will order the nurse to come back and take care of the lady." The doctor announced.Damien didn't say anything and just nodded his head before the doctor stepped out of the room. "Nightmares? Little kitten, what could be making you have nightmares? “ Damien muttered under his breath as he touched Eva's forehead with his finger . He knew it wasn't due to working late that was making her not get any sleep since she was currently jobless, so the only other opinion was her having nightmares like the doctor had said.Damien stared at Eva for a few more minutes before pulling out his cellphone.Shane, who was halfway done with the task that Damien ordered him to do, heard his phone buzzing again. He let out a groan and nearly banged his head against the laptop in front of him.(Demon king: Go through all the security cameras and see who placed something into Eva's drink. She is in a blue dress.) Shane sighed after reading the message
“No, we're not." Damien coldly replied in a dry tone. He opened the takeout boxes and placed them onto a portable table. Eva arched an eyebrow, taken aback by surprise when he placed the tiny table onto her laps so that she can eat while in bed. She stared at him like he had instantly grown five additional heads when Damien handed her a wet wipes and utensil. Why was he being so nice to her? She thought he wanted her dead. Or is this the final phrase? Is he planning to poison her to death? Eva knew that she was being optimistic at the moment. But she had no choice but to be like this because the man standing in front of her was the dangerous man in the country and based on the rumors she heard about him, he is not the kind of person to forgive his offenders easily. Unfortunately, she had happened to be in the list of his offenders, however, she was still surprised that she was alive up till today but seeing him being this nice suddenly made her worry. She would rather prefer it if he
“What-" " Eat first.” Damien cut her off again coldly, his voice was stern and firm leaving no room for argument. Eva grumbled under her breath before heaving a sigh of defeat at the stubborn man standing right in front of her. Damien peered intently and hard at her, patiently waiting for her to object to his words like she normally does, but to his surprise she didn't.Using her spoon, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and began to eat like an obedient little girl. The faster she eats this food under Damien's watching gaze the earlier she can get her phone. Seeing her inhale the food like it was air, Damien's gaze softened. She was finally eating and putting so much needed nutrition in her body. He took off his jacket and placed it on the back of the chair. He sat down and crossed one of his long legs over the other, then leaned back on the chair. His sitting posture was no different to Demon king that he was, with the bright chandelier light basking down on him.Damien planned to
" Speak." George interrupted her from speaking finish, with his lips twitching uncontrollably. ‘This silly brat can't even make an attempt to coax me knowing that I'm angry.’ George thought in his mind. Just now when he had picked her call and heard her address him ‘grandfather' he was taken by surprise because no matter how hard he tried to tell Eva to address him by that, she didn't listen. He thought that the first time might have been a mistake or slip of tongue but when he heard her calling him again the second time his lips arched up into a smile.Originally, he was furious and agitated that she had disappeared for the past three days leaving only trails of crazy and absurd headlines published about her, though her name wasn't mentioned in the headline but how could he not recognize his granddaughter being held by Damien when he saw the pictures on the internet which caused a long lines of wrinkles on his forehead.He was incredibly worried about her, especially when his privat
“Grandpa, was that the only thing that you heard?” Eva asked in a teasing voice. She didn't need to be standing in front of George to know what kind of mood he was in currently, so she decided that teasing him might lighten up the dark atmosphere and his mood. She can't allow him to get angry as it wasn't good for his blood pressure.“Which hospital are you in? Can the hospital be able to provide the proper treatment you need? Should I have my people come and bring you over here so that you can have proper treatment from the family doctor?” George ignored her question, he knew she was trying to make the atmosphere better and it was a good attempt, but not distracting enough.That Mark Johnson never learned! He sure has a lot of guts attacking Eva without hesitation. Who did he think he was?“I don't know the name of the hospital but based on the look of things, I think I've been given the VVIP ward on the top floor…… “ Eva trailed off, unable to complete her words when the door opened
Since when did the dangerous, ruthless and cruel CEO become a babysitter for her? “I am." Damien curtly replied. “I came back to confirm if you have finished the food." He added on with a blank expression on his face.“Well, now that it is confirmed, so……..?” Eva trailed off while raising a questioning brow at Damien. She was really desperate to get rid of Damien immediately out of her ward room. “Besides, I'm quite sleepy , so you need to leave. I can't sleep peacefully if you are still in this room." Eva said with a yawn escaping out of her mouth. She started feeling drowsy after she finished the meal but she couldn't help but on her phone and call her grandfather first before he died out of worry. Damien didn't say anything and just stared at Eva for a few seconds before standing up from his seat. “I will be back after handling some matters." He announced.“No, don't come back and stay wherever you're going now." Eva immediately shook her head in refusal when she heard him. Being
“Don't think about it." Damien's cold voice cut off Eva, walking into the room with his hands tucked into his pocket, like a real thug. But instead of looking cheap, his appearance was more handsome and dangerous. The nurse couldn't help but marvelled at him in awe. He was even better looking in real life than seeing him in television. Wearing a dark grey suit, his eyes were blazing, his dark hair messily swept back as if he had run his hand through it many times, making him look as if he had just stepped out of a magazine.“Excuse me?!" Eva asked with a scowl on her face, though she was a little bit taken aback by seeing Damien in the room. Shouldn't this man be at his company? Why was he suddenly showing up here in her room?Eva clenched her teeth tightly and pulled out the needle in her arm by herself. She grabbed the nearest tissue and pressed on the wound to stop it from bleeding.Damien's angry gaze turned darker and become a blazing fire out for blood. “Are you stupid or dumb?
Okay, now remove your hands."Eva hesitated for a moment before doing as Damien instructed. When she opened her eyes, confusion flickered across her face. Darkness engulfed her entirely, so thick she could barely make out his silhouette ahead of her."What's going on—"Her words faltered as Damien pressed a button. In an instant, the oppressive darkness was replaced with a breathtaking display of shimmering lights.The scenery before her was magical, like something out of a dream. Majestic archways adorned with twinkling lights stretched as far as her eyes could see. Each arch was intricately designed with delicate white metalwork, interwoven with clusters of vibrant flowers. Fairy lights danced across the vivid blooms, their colors blending into a mesmerizing spectrum. String lights cascaded above them, adding to the enchantment.Her gaze drifted downward, and her breath caught. The ground was a carpet of roses—red, white, and pink—arranged in a heart-shaped pattern so intricate it s
Suspicious, Eva pulled out her phone and opened the camera. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the glaring red marks on her neck—two perfectly visible hickeys."You!" she gasped, smacking Damien’s arm as he burst into laughter."You… you…!" she stammered, completely flustered. Her thoughts raced in a whirlwind of panic. ‘Oh my goodness! Has it been there this whole time? Is that why people kept staring at me?!’"It’s not funny!" she scolded, now using her purse to hit him, much to the amusement of his bodyguards."If it makes you feel better, you can leave some on me too," Damien teased, winking playfully. She retaliated by swatting at him repeatedly, but he was far too amused by her adorable expression to take her seriously. The mere thought of her leaving a mark on him filled him with excitement, his eyes glinting with anticipation and unspoken hopes."You wish!" she snapped, instantly crushing his hopes, though his smirk only deepened."Careful what you wish for," he murmured,
After the haunted house, Eva eagerly dragged Damien from one ride to another—towering roller coasters, spinning swings, and even a few kiddie rides. For her sake, Damien endured the sweltering heat and the endless lines. He’d thought a regular FastPass was fine, but Eva insisted they live like “normal” people for the day.He glanced at her flushed cheeks and noticed her eyes drooping slightly from the heat. With a sharp flick of his wrist, his bodyguards stepped forward. One handed him a hat while the other awaited further instructions."Get iced drinks," Damien ordered, placing the hat gently on Eva’s head.Her curious eyes peeked up at him, and she began to speak, but he cut her off with a sigh. "You're overexerting yourself, silly." Pulling out a pristine handkerchief, he wiped the beads of sweat forming on her forehead with surprising tenderness."But it’s so much fun…" Eva mumbled, reaching for his arm. To her dismay, he dodged her touch at first, only to surprise her by intertwi
Before she could respond, he kissed her with a fierce urgency, his lips claiming hers with an intensity that left her breathless. His mouth was rough and demanding, pulling her closer, but there was also an undeniable sweetness in the way he tasted her. Despite the forceful kiss, a warmth spread through her, igniting a growing heat within her body.A sharp gasp escaped her when he nipped at her bottom lip, the sudden sting quickly soothed by his tongue, the tenderness of his touch both punishing and soothing in equal measure. His kiss deepened, and as promised, her mind spiraled into blankness, consumed by the sensation of his lips on hers. His hand slid behind her, giving her a gentle but possessive squeeze that made her heart race.The soft sound of her breath hitched as he continued, kissing her mercilessly until her lips were tender and swollen. Her legs were barely holding her up, but he was there, steadying her, marking her with every kiss, every touch. When he finally pulled aw
“Don’t worry, Big Boss. If you’re scared, you can always hide behind me!” Eva smirked, seizing the rare opportunity to tease Damien. When she saw his face darken, the corners of his mouth pulling down into a displeased frown, her laughter bubbled out uncontrollably. The sound was like a melody that softened his rigid expression, a faint smile threatening to break through.“Oh, and here—” she extended her hand toward him, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “You can hold my hand too. Don’t worry, dear prince, This knight will protect you.”Her challenge was met immediately as Damien grabbed her hand, his firm grip tugging her toward him. He leaned down, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, his voice low and husky, “Teasing me like this won’t end well for you.”Eva’s stomach flipped at the sensation of his breath on her skin, but she refused to give in. Smirking, she countered, “Not before I teach you who’s in charge today.” She was amused that, even though he was clearly scared, he
Everywhere they went, they drew countless stares. Some people even stopped mid-step, their gazes lingering on the captivating striking pair. Some stole discreet glances, while others openly stared, mesmerized by the strikingly elegant couple. Despite the commanding presence of the tall, suave man walking beside her, she did not appear overshadowed. Her sharp eyes and composed demeanor radiated confidence, her neutral expression betraying nothing as she took in her surroundings. Together, their combined aura was magnetic and overwhelming, an air of authority and sophistication that seemed almost regal. They were, without question, the embodiment of a true power couple.“Oh my gosh, he’s so handsome!” In a hypnotic daze upon seeing someone so blindly charismatic, one woman whispered to her friend. “I wonder if he’s a model or an actor.”“No, he looks like an immortal!” another chimed in, hearts practically radiating from her eyes."Pfft! Ivy, you’ve been watching way too many historica
Eva tried to push him away, but Damien effortlessly pulled her back, pressing her body into his chest, solid as a wall. “I don’t have enough experience for that,” she muttered, her gaze shifting away to hide her embarrassment. She was skilled in many things, but kissing wasn’t one of them.At her admission, a surge of possessiveness coursed through Damien. His voice was firm and resolute as he said, “You don’t need experience. I’ll teach you.” His dark eyes held a depth of devotion that sent shivers down her spine.Eva thought he was joking, but the intensity in his gaze told her otherwise. Reluctantly, she smirked, “Alright, have it your way.”Seeing her compliance, his lips curved into a contented smile that only brightened his mood further.“"I have somewhere to take you," Damien said, his deep voice drawing Eva’s attention.She glanced up at him, her curiosity piqued, but instead of asking questions, she handed him her purse and cell phone without hesitation. "Hold this for me," s
The next morning, when Eva woke up, she let out a sigh as her eyes landed on the empty side of the bed.Last night, Damien had called to inform her that he wouldn’t be able to come home due to some work he needed to handle at the office.Even though she didn’t argue with him, Eva couldn’t help but feel that his absence was because he was still upset about their disagreement the previous afternoon. Regardless, she missed his presence deeply.Little did she know, Damien’s absence was part of a carefully planned surprise.After her morning routine, Eva dressed in a simple white top paired with black jeans, grabbed her bag, and headed downstairs. Her mind was set on going to Elite Entertainment for a meeting.However, when she reached the staircase, her eyes widened in surprise. Standing near the entrance of the living room was a tall and lean figure, exuding casual elegance.“Damien…?” she murmured, his name slipping from her lips before she could even think.He turned, a pastel blue box
"Wait, really?!" Nathalia squealed, her sorrowful tone vanishing in an instant, replaced by over-the-top excitement. Usually, she had to scream, throw tantrums, and threaten to hold her breath until she turned blue to get her brother to relent."On one condition," Damien said, impressed by her earlier accomplishments. If anyone understood Eva best, it was his obnoxious little sister."What is it? Is it about that boy toy? Don’t worry, I kicked him to the curb ages ago! I have already turned into a new leaf, in fact, I now have a boyfriend. He is a CEO and very good, someday I will introduce him to you. Just tell me anything you want me to do.” Nathalia wagged her metaphorical tail, eager to agree to anything."Have you spoken to Eva recently?"The question caught Nathalia off guard. She almost blurted, Of course I did! But thanks to you, I can't speak to my friend for long. But she lacked Eva’s boldness, so she replied, "No. Why?""Never mind. You’re useless too," Damien muttered, rea
