After they were done eating, both Eva and Nathalia spent the rest of the day binge-watching K drama movies then switching the TV channel to the latest variety show on the best couple in Miami which gave Nathalia the opportunity to throw popcorn at the screen.Nathalia was extremely exhausted from all the day's events, slumping lazily on the couch, Nathalia slept like a child as her body was curled into a ball and her arms tucked underneath her face.Eva chuckled at this sight, she switched off the TV before walking to her bedroom and walked back to the living with a heavy blanket which she used to cover her up.Tying her up her long hair, she began to clean up the mess they've made in the living room. If it was the woman from nine months ago, she would've left the chores to the housecleaner. Since she would be twenty-three years old this year and a grown adult, she figured it was best for her not to remain lazy. Being able to clean the house and do her laundry was something she shoul
Eva's entire life was built around a man that shattered her. From a young age after the death of Eva's mother, as if it was planned, she was drilled on how to become his pillar of support, after Eva stopped modeling, her father forced Eva to help Mark manage his multi-million cooperation, she wasted her time learning how to handle paperwork, secretly helping him fulfill his position when he was absent, she was his safe haven, and also a perfect wife. Eva thought she was doing all of this out of her love for Mark. However, all of her training and endless night of working hard was completely shattered within the span of nine months. In just nine months, Mark had forced Eva to her lowest point because he betrayed and fell in love with Christine.Nathalia knew that Eva was hurting so bad, because a similar situation had happened to her mother. It was like a deja Vu for Eva.Eva sighed, not angry about the fact that she was being yelled at by Nathalia. "Okay, fine. I'll think about it bu
A black shadow flew at the speed of light and before anyone could react, a hand had smacked her face with so much force that it turned to the side.The crowd gasped in shock. Never in a billion years would they expect Mark to strike a woman.Eva's face was immediately swung to the side with so much force, she knew she just received a whiplash as she could feel a taste of blood in her mouth. Tears gathered in her eyes at the stinging pain in her cheeks, but she pushed them back. She didn't even slap Christine so hard like this earlier."Oh my god! Mark, are you okay?" Christine immediately grabbed Mark's rough and stiffened hand. It was bright red because of how hard he had smacked Eva."Does it hurt?" She gently asked him with her sweet, angelic voice, she blew air into his red hand, lightly rubbing her cold fingers against him.Mark's eyes softened at the sight of the fragile woman beside him. "I'm fine, sweetheart." He whispered to her. Eva hatefully glared at them, she sneered in
"What the fuck!" Eva who was still half asleep immediately her drowsy eyes flew wide open when she heard the distant yet familiar voice."Good morning, father. It's nice to hear your voice after all this while. I apologize, it wasn't my intention to ignore your calls but it's rather strange because I wasn't expecting to receive a call from you today." Eva explained in a modest manner."How brazen you've become! Now I have to make an appointment with you before I call you, huh? So much guts you've got!" The voice yelled again."Of course not. You can call me anytime you want, which you rarely do unless you need something from me or someone to yell and vent your anger on. The morning seems to have a good vibe so, let's not waste each other's time and get straight to the point of why you've decided to call me today of all days?" Eva said with a yawn, she was already sick of him beating around the bush. Besides, she desperately wants to go back to sleep. She has never woken up this early
After hanging up the call, Eva had a dark expression on her face. She hated it whenever Mathew had to always have to bring up her mother's name to get her to do whatever he wanted.The marriage between both Eva's mother- Shenley Black and Mathew Carter was a political marriage. The Black family is one of the top five influential families in California, and since the Carter family have a close relationship with the Black family. At that time the Patriarch of the Black family was looking for a suitable husband for his daughter Shenley Black, so the Carter family used their close influence to make Shenley marry their son who was no other than Matthew.The two people were reluctant to marry one another but they couldn't refuse their family. The first three years after their marriage the two people living under the same roof had a very distant relationship. However, the heavy pressure Matthew received from his family elder to copulate the marriage and make Shenley bore a child. The elders
When Nathalia opened the door of the office, she couldn't help but be captivated by the view of the office. First, the entire office was big and spacious, it was even bigger than her best friend's entire apartment. Second, it was spotless clean, no spec of dusk could be noticed. Nathalia was sure that the cleaning team had taken a whole day to clean this whole office. Third, everything in the office all the way to the bookshelf and documents, was neatly arranged in an orderly manner. The thing in the office that captivated Nathalia aside from the enormous black desk was the walls of the office which were made of glass which gave the perfect view of the skyscrapers lining the city. This wasn't Nathalia's first time being in the office, but everytime she visits Damien she couldn't get enough of this view."At least, he gots something that I like in this office apartment from those annoying looking papers." Nathalia muttered as she walked to the small mini living room in the office and
Sia immediately raised her head up, shocked by what she just heard. She knew that she was on the course of losing her job which she couldn't let happen, knowing how much stress she had to go through before being employed.In this situation, she had to think of a fast way to sort things out. "T-there seems to be a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to trip on you Mr. Cross. It was a mistake, please, I beg you. Forgive me just this once and I promise it will never happen." Sia finally understood how severe her situation had become so she quickly abandoned her plan of seducing Damein and crawled on her knees towards Damien."If you don't wish to lose your job, next time you don't allow people like this in my company." Damien stated not sparing the woman another look before he walked out the department along with Shane."W-what?! No, you can't fire me!! I'm sorry….. Manager, plead to the CEO on my behalf." Sia immediately turned her attention back to Manager Perry who was still stupified by
“Who are you talking about?” Nathalia asked, faking a clueless expression to what she just heard.“That daring woman, what is her name again?” Damien repeated his question again, but Nathalia became anxious at the question. She stared at Damien's face trying to figure out what he was thinking, but Damien was too good at masking his emotions and his facial expressions remained the same which made Nathalia feel scared and an unsettling feeling began growing in her stomach.She gulped hard seeing his dark expression. Was he trying to get more information about Eva and was planning to ruin her best friend's life? “Cousin, she is my closest and best friend. You can't do anything to harm her at all, she is off limits. That girl has been through a hard time and her experience in life was not something good. Don't do anything that would harm her again.” Nathalia stated with a serious facial expression. Since she already knew what had transpired between both Eva and Damien and knowing Damien
