Damien raised a brow at how she didn’t try to argue with him. He knew the alcohol tended to lower one’s inhibitions and reveal their true self. Does she always act like a docile kitten when she has a drink? He couldn’t help but pat her head lightly for her good behavior. “Did you eat something?” He knew she often skips meals, and he wanted to find out if she was drinking on an empty stomach.“ I don't want to eat.” She stubbornly replied, walking away from him feeling the desire to lay down and sleep. “You have to eat something, little one.” He grabs her wrist, pulling her closer to him. “But, i’m not hungry-” “Your stomach says otherwise.” he said, remembering how her stomach made a growl sound every time she refused to eat in front of him. She blushed at his words and tried to push him away, but he gently kept his hold on her.“Don’t be stubborn.” He curled an arm around her waist and a smile appeared on his face when he saw how she didn't try to push him away like she normally
“I can never change the past. Whenever I close my eyes ,all I see are the images of the people I broke, the bonds I severed, and all the awful things I have done! I’m such a bad person, I'm a villain , and even at my wedding-” Eva's voice became muffled when she was suddenly pulled into a tight hug by Damien. For the first time, he saw her in her vulnerable state. His impression of her had always been of someone who is confident, daring and feisty. He didn’t know this was how she thought about herself?“You said it yourself, the past can never be changed, my dear kitten. Instead of burying yourself in the past, learn from it. See it as a meaningful lesson and let it go. Besides, nobody is pure in this world, we all have done bad things, not just you. Everyone just has the limit of the bad things they’ve done and how long they can hide it. You were born and trained in a family that had reached its peak by being ruthless and eliminating everyone that stands in their way. Being kind to
Nathalia, whose plane was supposed to land very early in the morning had some delaymeny issues, so Ella had no choice but to rebook her flight for the next plane and she just arrived in Miami about an hour ago. Nathalia pouted and saw her blank screen. She had been spamming Eva's phone with messages and attempting to calm her multiple times to inform her that she was around and was on her way to her apartment- which was Sunset Condo, the current apartment that she knew Eva was living in, but she wasn't responding like usual.Knowing her best friend's behavior, she would probably still be hurled up in her room sleeping like an old lady with no plans of getting up. “Shouldn't she be awake by now? I still don't understand why she has to sleep for so long, it's not like she needs any beauty sleep unlike me?” Nathalia fumed angrily, she climbed out of the black luxurious car, Ella had prepared to pick her from the airport when she arrived in Miami.She pulled out her big sunglasses from
"Hey, Lucien.” Natalia spoke."Hello, sis Nathy.” Lucien's calm voice was heard from the other line." I'm sorry for calling you at this time. I hope I haven't interrupted you?” Nathalia asked, she had forgotten Lucien would be in school before she called him."You and my sister just have the habit of asking that question after you call. And we have classes now.” Lucien replied, making Nathalia curl her lips when she heard him." What exactly are you calling for?” He asked straightforwardly, knowing full well that Nathalia needed something that was why she was calling him." Um …… I just wanted to confirm if your sister is currently at the mansion?" Nathalia finally asked, not bothering to argue with Lucien since he was right.“She's not. But that would be the last place she wanted to come after what happened." Lucien casually responded, he was currently sitting under the huge tree in the school yard. They are seniors now, so they rarely have many classes.“Meaning? What happened?" N
Laying in Eva's bed was no other than her evil cousin, Damien Cross- the emperor of the business world! Her cold, ruthless, and indifferent cousin, a man who rarely smiled and laughed, he- he was actually lying on her best friend's bed! Nathalia shook her head, believing that she was still on the plane and dreaming currently. ‘Of course this isn't real.’ She raised her hand up and harshly pinched herself, still thinking that she was on the plane, and having terrible and vivid dreams. This is the last thing that could ever happen.However, after pinching herself multiple times, she didn't wake up. She breathed in shock, not able to believe the sight before her again.H-how was this possible?! Her cousin and Eva together? Even though she was hoping that these two would end up together, she wasn't expecting this at all.“Besides, I thought Eva hated Damien?” she muttered.Still confused at the sudden turn of events, Nathalia looked around the room for any sign of what happened before sh
From beside his legs, Nathalia let out a small noise. Her eyebrows creased together to form a frown on her face.Damien's gaze darkened instantly. “Keep that voice down. She is still sleeping.” His hissed at her, knowing that Nathalia would retort back in a loud voice. Unfortunately his harsh tone didn't match his action. He was still adoringly running his hand on Eva's back, hoping to comfort her back to sleep.Nathalia kept opening her mouth and closing like a fish. She couldn't believe his behavior. He is being such a pampering boyfriend! ‘What the hell?’“Listen here-" "Raise that voice again, I will not hesitate to have your manager cancel all your work and send you to your parents. They seem to have a lot of lecturing to give you.” Damien's lips pursed into a thin line.Nathalia felt her entire body tremble and itch in annoyance. However, she had no choice but to comply and whisper in a lower voice.“If you bully me, I'll complain to my Eva. Probably it would give her more rea
Eva's heart skipped a beat as she took a step back, her surprise quickly turning to apprehension as she realized the intensity of his anger. It burned like a flame, one that she didn’t shy away from. At the moment, he looked as if he wanted to interrogate her there and then about how and why she owned a gun. But who was he to care whether she had one or not? She knew he owned the S&W pistol as well. She was the first to break their staring competition and when she did, she noticed something weird. He was sitting on her bed, his suit jacket and tie gone while his crinkled shirt was half open, revealing part of his muscular chest. His legs were still tucked into the same blanket she had previously been wrapped in."What are you doing in my bed?" She frowned, coincidentally glancing down at herself to make sure that her clothes were still intact. She was scared that the same thing might happen again because she recalled what had happened nine months ago. She was worried that he might
*********“Where are the souvenirs that you said you got for me?" Eva asked as she stared at Nathalia who was sitting on the couch in that living room. “Oh, that. Yeah, I did say that. Unfortunately! When I had rushed back to the country, I was worried about my best friend not picking up her phone call for the one week with a bag of souvenirs and gifts to give her. However, when I got to your apartment, I couldn't find you and in panic I dropped the suitcase where I had brought the whole gift.” Nathalia remarked, staring accusingly at Eva.“You sure have a lot to say and I can tell that you're really pissed?" Eva asked, flashing a smile at Nathalia. This is the only way she tries to persuade her before she continues to complain.“How did you come to know that I was here?” She added, still confused how Nathalia knew was in this place."Humph! Took you long enough to ask. Anyways, I had to call Lucien, thinking that you were at the mansion but he told me that you would be here since yo
