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

    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

    “Since, you know, then coming here was useless.” Damien stated coldly, standing up from his seat and wearing his coat.“Really, you can't!” Whining, Nathalia grabbed his hand as she also stood up from her seat too.“Don't try to stop me.” Damien gently brushed her hand off, before turning to look at Shane, “Let's get going.” He remarked and headed towards the entrance.“Ha, wait! We aren't done with this discussion!” Nathalia had a scowl on her face as she followed him out of the office and entered the elevator along with Shane.When they got to the parking lot a black Rolls-Royce cullinan was waiting for Damien. His bodyguards who were standing in the parking lot quickly bowed when they saw him step out of the elevator. One of the bodyguards wearing a black suit immediately opened the car door for him.Damien turned to look at Nathalia who was still following behind him when he got to his car. “Since you won't tell me her address then make sure you continue to keep our relationship a

    Eva didn't overthink about the issue on ground. After all, they were equally at fault and he was the one that dragged her into the room. She sighed thinking about how she had to receive two phone calls early in the morning. ‘I hope I don't receive any phone calls for the rest of the day.’ Eva thought as she pulled out the items in the shopping bag she had placed on the cabinet.Earlier after she hung up the call with her father, she couldn't sleep any longer because of the bad news she had to receive so Eva wore her coat and head out of her apartment and went to the grocery store close to the apartment complex. She had noticed some ingredients were missing yesterday when she cooked for both herself and Nathalia. In the past few months Eva had stayed hidden in her apartment, whenever she was tired of sleeping, she found a new hobby which was cooking. Eva took her time to learn how to cook, she watched cooking videos on the internet and food network channels on the TV. Seeing the deli

    “You asked to see me?” Shane quickly asked after he closed the door behind him.“Have you found the person?” Damien's eyes remained glued on the documents in his hand. ‘Is he really inquiring about that woman when it's lunchtime?’ Shane looked at Damien in disbelief. Earlier after Nathalia left, Damien had ordered him to find everything about Eva. “Did you or not find anything before you stand there thinking of some weird things.” Breaking his train of thought, Shane snapped out of it and cleared his throat.“The lady's name is Evangline Carter, she is the eldest daughter of the Carter family, one of the most influential families in Miami. She is a model in the entertainment industry but from my resources, despite being a model it seems like she has retired for the past four years now, but she still has a five year signed contract with the agency. She has been living a normal life and currently her reputation isn't very good at the moment.” Shane reported the information he found o

    “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
