Eva wasn’t hopeful nor was the type to try and comfort herself with lies. She faced the harsh reality that none of her family members would associate themselves with her unless it would benefit them. What good would come of it for them if they meddle with a discarded and useless woman like her? The only reason why they had all been calling her endlessly was because they all wanted the same things, they were trying to get close to her so that they could benefit from her relationship with Damien and she was sure that was the reason why Matthew was at her apartment thinking that she was living there.“Um, can you place that phone on the loudspeaker?” Eva requested, wanting to make sure that Matthew and Laura would hear the next things she was going to say. “Yes, ma.” The receptionist nodded her head and did what Eva had instructed her to do. “It’s done, ma.” "Good. I will be arriving there soon." Eva uttered and instantly hung up the call.“That brat is going to leave us here standin
Eva was sure that Matthew would have slapped if they were having this discussion at the mansion, but because this was a public place he was holding back from disgracing himself any further.She remained passive unlike both Laura and Linda who were quivering in fear at his frightening voice. Her face was very calm, almost nonchalant when she heard him. Shouldn’t she be scared because of the harsh scolding from her father? “Just why on earth are you asking the obvious, Mr. Carter? I have indeed lost my mind and I'm very glad that you have just realized. Though I expected you to have figured it out sooner since other people like your wife over here are already aware.” Eva finally replied, her voice distant, and dry.Everyone was taken aback when they heard her calm and composed voice. It didn’t even show that she flinched or hesitated one bit when she replied to Matthew.Matthew was also shocked as well as everyone else by the blatant disrespect, his mind suddenly went blank . Did he he
Clara had been here for five years now. It was already enough for her to understand how precarious the situation is currently, and how far it had turned the already harsh Mark even more unbearable to work with. Ever since the Smith Enterprise had cut off the connection between the two companies , the Johnson corporation stock had been slowly dwindling. She was one of the core workers who knew about Eva’s existence in the Johnson Corporation. Before she was promoted to become CEO Mark private secretary, she had already been a part of the CEO’s team of secretaries. Not many people knew that ever since Eva stopped being a model , she had immediately taken on running the company as Mark proxy. Clara had witnessed first hand how Eva spent a whole year holed up in the office with them, barely eating and sleeping, resulting in the drastic skyrocketing of Johnson Corporation’s net worth.Eva ran a tight ship. Every single contract and proposal went through her, and she had led the managemen
Clara looked back at the loving couple and felt her mood turn incredibly sour when she saw that they did not wait for her to take her leave before getting into a compromising and intimate position. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at how inappropriate they were in the office. ‘Can’t they control themselves, or better still get a room for goodness?’ Clara complained to herself, feeling nauseous and the scene before her. This is also one of the reasons why she disliked Chistine, she doesn’t compose herself and can’t refuse it at times. Clara was aware that there are times a couple might get carried away by their emotion but it wasn’t the case for christine. Thinking about it now, Clara couldn’t but believe that Mark never loved Eva because there was never a time she had seen him get intimate with Eva when she was still his fiance. He always had a frown on his anytime she visited, probably because he heard news that eva had caused trouble again somewhere. Clara couldn’t understand ho
The living room was filled with the sound of a hauntingly sorrowful melody. Along the way, she began to sing the lyrics of the song that came to her mind at the moment. It was one of her favorite songs which was sung by the artist Adele - Someone Like you.Eva forgot all of her worries at the moment and began playing the keys of the piano to match the song.“I heard that you're settled down.That you found a girl and you're married nowI heard that your dreams came trueGuess she gave you things, I didn't give to youOld friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight itI had hoped you'd see my faceAnd that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over.Nevermind, I'll find someone like youI wish nothing but the best for you, too"Don't forget me” I beg I remember you said“Sometimes , it last in love, but sometimes it hurts instead" A memory flooded through
"I've told you to stop cutting me off like that. And yes, you can. I'm only agreeing to let you go because I need your full attention tomorrow at the fashion show. The last thing I want is for you to make a whole mess of everything, I don't really care if the show gets ruined but I'm worried about your public image." Ella remarked with a serious expression. She didn't want Nathalia to make a fool out of herself tomorrow if she kept looking dull like this.“What did you take me for? Even if I'm not in a good mood, you should know that I have always put on the best facial expression on my face when it comes to working." Nathalia grumbled while crossing her arms in front of her chest. Her mood was already starting to change to her usual self without her realizing it.“Then I shouldn't bother with booking the flight since you are confident in yourself." Ella replied.“No, of course not. But what about the fashion show? Wouldn't going to Miami take more time?" Nathalia asked.“It won't. It
“ I will handle the consequences later. Break the speed limit.”Ray was a little surprised at his order, but nonetheless, followed it like it was the law. Less than a few seconds, he was speeding down the highway , dodging cars, and breaking into the city streets. He drove the black Bentley Bentaya to its limit, like a car racer with a heart of frenzy for speed.Eva was too busy daydreaming out of the window to even hear the whisper coming from her phone in the background. She pressed a finger onto the window and started tracing out the people below that looked like ants with a blank and bored expression on her face.She didn’t realize that her emotions were growing unstable as if she was taken back to the version of her from nine months ago. She remembers herself swearing to her grandfather back when she used to live with the Black family before coming back to miami. Goerge had asked her to promise him that she would keep her emotions under control. That was the only thing he asked h
“Don’t lie to me, Evangeline.” Damien’s voice was so soft despite him calling her by her full name. She felt a warm and fuzzy feeling within her when she heard his voice.“Now, be a good girl and open the door.” Damien said, knocking on the door, waiting patiently for her to open the door. He didn't ask which apartment she was staying at because he was already aware of the apartment she was in, thanks to the information Shane had gathered about. However, he needed her to open the door for him, because unlike when he carried to her other apartment he was able to easily unlock her apartment door because of her fingerprints and her gullibility to mumble answers to the questions he was asking her while she was asleep.Eva felt a slight buzzing in her head and her cheeks felt warm. Stumbling her way to the door, she opened it to see him standing in front of her in all of his full glory. She couldn’t control herself and got herself mesmerized and captivated by him again. The lights from the
