Damien paused for a few minutes when he heard the question. That's right, the reason why he had approached Eva and offered her this marriage contract in the first place was not only because he wanted her to borrow his power and status to get revenge on Mark. The real reason was because he needed an heir due to his grandfather who kept pressuring him to get married and have his own child.

He had been ignoring his grandfather's antics about getting married since he wasn't interested in any woman. But after that one night stand he had with Eva, his interest in her increased and each and every time they encountered each other, she always did something that kept wanting him to be close to her. His curiosity about her was what made him offer her the contract at the restaurant, since she was also the first woman he would ever sleep with.

However, he hadn't thought much about what to do if Ev1a completed her own side of the contract and gave birth to an heir for him. All he knew was that he

    ***********Just like that after having breakfast, Eva was escorted back to the bedroom. When the maid bowed and was leaving, Eva suddenly stopped her.“You, what is your name? I can't keep calling you ‘you’ when you have a name and I forgot to ask you yesterday as well." The maid blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Eva would want to know the name of an insignificant maid like her. ‘I thought she was from a rich household? Is she supposed to ask my name?’ The maid was confused but still decided to reply anyway.“Tasha. You can call me Tasha, Madam." The maid replied.“Okay, thank you for escorting me around, Tasha." Eva smiled at her, making Tasha go into a daze at Eva's smile. Who would have thought that her Madam had such a beautiful smile and she would smile at a maid like her?Eva raised a brow when she saw how Tasha was dazed. “Tasha, are you alright?" She asked, snapping her finger in front of her eyes to bring her back.“Ah, yes, Madam. I'm sorry, I was dazed for a moment

    “What is it?" Eva asked with a seriousness like she was about to strike a business deal.“I can't have our Madam doing all that hard work alone, so I will have a few maids assist you, if that is okay with you.” The head chef revealed."Sure, I can live with that." Eva nodded her head and the head chef quickly called three maids over to assist Eva while they cleared a space for her.A few minutes later, Eva was done preparing the cake. “Madam, we can handle the rest from here, we will let you once the cake is ready." One of the maid assisting Eva told her after she placed the cake in the oven.“Alright, thank you for assisting me." Eva didn't bother to argue with the maid, she nodded her head and asked one of the maids to lead her to the living room, since she didn't want to go back to the bedroom. She was really starting to consider taking the tour Tasha had offered her but she couldn't find Tasha anywhere.Eva sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. She scrolled through the chan

    “And what made you eat cake all of a sudden?” She added, her voice still serious.Eva raised her brow when she saw how her playful friend turned serious. "I'm at home and this is a celebration cake.” She casually replied, ignoring the boring gaze from Nathalia."Don't fool me, young lady. This is your home, I can tell just by looking at the background behind you? Tell me exactly where you are right now? And besides, what are you celebrating all of a sudden?” Not buying the reply Eva gave her, Nathalia asked her further.“Which one do you want me to answer first? Is it telling you where I am or the reason for my celebration cake?” She asked, instead of answering Nathalia's question. Eva was purposely trying to prolong this because she knew if Nathalia knew where she was, her reaction would be fun and she was preparing to witness her expression.“Anyone, but answer both questions." “Of course, I would. First of all, this is a celebration cake, that I got married without any drama. And

    “Wait!" Nathalia yelled. “What are you talking about? Who and where did you hear such things that Damien Cross and I were dating?" Just at the mention of it, Nathalia felt like puking all the food she had eaten out. ‘Just who would date that devil!’ “I overheard one of the maids working here?" Eva casually replied. Of course, she didn't hear anything from anywhere. In fact this was a self made lie that she was telling Nathalia. She wanted Nathalia to be the one to tell her what her relationship with Damien was but knowing how stubborn Nathalia was, she wouldn't tell her the truth if she asked directly." Just which maid would say something like that? Have they lost their god-damned minds and can't realize that I'm Damien's cousin. Why would I date that devil who calls himself my older cousin. Are they all tired of working? I need to call Mr. Lee-” Nathalia stopped talking mid-sentence when she saw Eva who was frowning before now smiling at her. Her eyes widened when she realized that

    As a matter of fact she wasn't only feeling nauseous and itchy alone, she couldn't breathe properly anymore. “Is…….is anyone….out there?” Eva managed to call the maids outside for help while gasping and battling for air desperately. However, because her voice isn't loud, none of the maids outside heard her.Seeing that no one could hear her, Eva attempted to stand up from her seat. She couldn't hold on any longer as she was starting to feel dizzy. Just as Eva tried to stand up her hand mistakenly knocked the glass cup of water onto the floor and caused a loud chatter sound.Meanwhile, Tasha who just arrived outside of the dining room waiting for Eva to finish eating before she escorts her back to her room, just like she does. Although,. Eva had told her that she remembered the way to the bedroom, she still came. The real reason she was here was because when she was running some errands, one of her colleagues who was stationed in the kitchen had stopped her and gave her a share of the

    Some moments later, the door of the ward Eva was placed in opened. A tall handsome young man wearing a navy blue scrub and a long white coat walked out of the room. He was busy reading a medical report file about Eva as he strolled out of the room.When both Shane and Mr. Lee saw the man walking out of the room. They stood up from the chair placed outside the room and walked towards him.“Mr. Aiden, how is Miss Eva doing? Is she okay now?" Shane was the first person to question the man when they got to him.The man raised his head up from the file and glanced at the two men looking at him. "The young miss you brought here is okay, now.” Aiden calmly replied.Shane breathed out a sigh of relief when he heard Aiden. He didn't know what he would tell his boss if something happened to Eva.“Then can you tell us what happened to Young Madam? Why did she suddenly faint?" Mr. Lee was the one to ask this time. He wanted to know what had caused Eva to faint all of a sudden."It was an allerg

    “Is she Old Lee's granddaughter or what? No, it can't be because Old Lee keeps addressing her as ‘Young Madam’ and you seem pretty nervous about your Boss not finding out. Ah, that reminds me, where is he? Is he not aware that I'm back in the country?” Aiden asked. He had heard the way Mr. Lee was addressing Eva but acted like he didn't hear anything.Shane had an awkward smile on his face when he heard Aiden. Of course, he knew that he would ask him the question but he didn't know how to tell Aiden about it. Though, it's not like he can't tell Aiden that Damien got married, however, he was more worried with the way Aiden would accept it. Aiden Maxwell, the son and heir to one of the top seven influential families in the world. The Maxwell family and the Cross family have been friends and business partners for generations, so it wasn't weird when both Damien and Aiden became friends. Despite Aiden being the heir of his family, he had refused to take over the family business since his

    Aiden nodded his head and conducted a few more checks on her. All her vitals seemed to be perfectly fine. Then he turned to look at Shane. "Now that she has woken up, she is completely fine.” "Thank you, Dr. Maxwell. Thank you so much," Shane said, after breathing another sigh of relief. The young miss was okay now and he can finally think of a way to tell Damien about what happened.“Um……excuse me.” Eva finally said, making both Aiden, Shane and the nurse look at her. "Since I'm okay now, then can you get this stuff out of me and can I take my leave?” Eva asked pointed to the drip connected to her hand with her other free hand.Aiden raised a brow at Eva. For some reason, he got a vibe that Eva isn't someone he expected her to be.“Miss Eva, I think you should still remain in the hospital so that you can still be monitored in case you develop some other symptoms.” Shane told her. Even though Aiden said she is fine he wanted her to be perfectly fine because if she isn't he might lose

    His scowl deepened, and for a moment, she thought he might explode. But instead, he bit back whatever retort had been on the tip of his tongue. He knew that pushing her further would only backfire.“I understand you hate hospitals,” he said after a long pause, his voice gentler. “But staying here and resting is for your own good. You’re too stubborn to take care of yourself, so I have to do it for you.”Did he view her as a child? Why was he so persistent in keeping her here? She could recuperate somewhere else with a personal doctor — anything was fine, as long as it wasn't this chemical-filled location brimming with painful memories.Eva’s lips pressed into a thin line. “I don’t need your intervention.”His eyes narrowed, his irritation simmering just beneath the surface. “Don’t be stubborn—”“You’re a hypocrite,” she shot back before she could stop herself. Well, to some extent, she was hypocritical."Ehm, ehm……you demand me to not be stubborn, but here you are again, also being st

    Eva felt her heart ache at the tone of Damien's voice, so small and fragile, like that of a lost child. Her chest tightened with guilt for having pushed him to this point. Her logical mind chastised her for taking things too far, while her heart yearned to soothe and comfort him.“Will you do it again?” she asked softly, her fingers tracing gentle circles over his rough, calloused hands.Immediately, his hand shifted to clasp hers tightly, intertwining their fingers in a firm yet comforting grip. Her heart skipped a beat at the gesture, a tiny smile tugging at the corners of her lips.“I can’t promise you a definite no,” he admitted, his deep voice muffled as he rested his head on her shoulder. He breathed her in—the intoxicating, calming scent of jasmine filling his senses and clouding his mind. “But I will try my hardest to be lenient.”She paused, unsure how to respond. Sensing her silence, Damien tightened his hold on her fingers, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.“Are you sti

    Eva’s heart pounded as she searched for a way to diffuse his anger. She knew that escalating this tension would only make things worse. Desperate, she decided to play a different card—a gamble.“Tell me, how would you like to handle the consequences? Perhaps I should start with—" He was interrupted when she abruptly stepped forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. The suddenness of her action made him freeze in place.“What are you doing?" He blinked. "Damien," she murmured softly, her voice sweet and soothing. She pressed her face against his chest, rubbing her cheek against the silk of his shirt.His body stiffened, his clenched fists trembling at his sides. "This won't work," he said, though his voice had lost its sharp edge."I'm cold," she whispered, her words muffled against his chest."Eva," he warned, but his tone lacked conviction."Won’t you hug me?" She tilted her head up, gazing at him with wide, pleading eyes and a slight pout on her lips. Her heart ski

    After bidding Belle goodbye and promising her one last time that she would return tomorrow, Eva walked down the hospital halls with a spring in her step. A soft hum escaped her lips, her arms filled with snacks Belle had insisted she take. The little girl had brightened her day and made her feel less alone in the dreariness of the hospital."You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you sayI'm talking loud, not saying muchI'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochetShoot me down, but I get up," Eva softly sang, her favorite song playing in her mind as she strolled back to her room. She smiled, wondering if her friend Nathalie would enjoy the snacks she was carrying.“I'm bulletproof, nothing to loseFire away, fire awayRicochet, you take your aimFire away, fire awayShe was in such a good mood that she even gently danced along the hallway to her. “You shoot me down, but I won't fallI am titanium………..”“You shoot me down, but I won't fallI am titanium” a low voice suddenly com

    She paused, her mind flashing back to the countless fights, the shattered dishes, the cold silences that followed her every rebellion. "But I didn’t let their expectations control me. I chose my path, even when it meant walking away from them entirely." Eva let out a sigh, her gaze still focused outside the window. " I really loved it when I refused them, even though it would earn me being slapped senselessly. I always find pleasure somehow and I took pride in becoming the perfect, graceful black sheep of that damned family.” Belle hung on every word, her eyes wide with admiration and curiosity."But," She continued. “I only did it when I was a grown adult, legal enough to make my own choices. My plan wasn't perfect nor did it work in pleasing my family, but then again, why should I continue to please them when they were never family to me in the first place?" Eva gently moved her gaze back to Belle, leaning forward, "However, as someone who has gone through all that, you should k

    "So, Belle," Eva began, pulling a chair close to the bed and sitting down. "Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself? What brought you here to this hospital room?" Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the overflowing flowers and gifts surrounding the small child."I caught a fever a few days ago," Belle replied glumly, her voice quiet. Though it was just a fever, she’d been stuck in this hospital for a week. She felt fine now, but her parents insisted she remain."I'm all better now. Nothing hurts anymore. I just want to go home, but they won’t let me." Belle’s lips turned down in a bitter frown as she recalled how her parents refused her calls and ignored her requests to leave. Deep down, she knew they preferred her absence."Why not?" Eva asked softly, though she already sensed the answer."Because they hate me."Eva’s heart clenched at the words, so full of pain and resignation. She studied the young girl, who stared back with guarded eyes that looked far older than her years.

    Once the door shut, the girl turned her head slightly. "You can come out now."Eva pushed the gifts aside and slid out from under the bed. She straightened up, her gaze meeting the child’s lifeless, cold eyes. They lacked the innocent sparkle of youth."Why were those men chasing you? Who are you?" the girl asked, studying Eva intently. Despite her disheveled hair and rumpled gown, there was no mistaking the elegant air that surrounded her.Eva smiled faintly, deciding to test the girl’s intuition when she noticed how she was studying her. ‘Let’s see if you're smart. "Who do you think I am?"The child’s eyes narrowed. "You’re not a simple patient.""Oh? What makes you say that?""This is the VVIP floor, accessible only with a private keycard. Your gown is made of high-quality cotton, reserved for VVIP patients.""Well, I could’ve stolen the keycard and clothes," Eva countered.The girl’s gaze didn’t waver. "Despite your messy appearance, you carry yourself with grace. Your posture, ev

    Eva jumped in alarm, spinning around to find a young girl sitting on a hospital bed. The room was filled with vases of flowers, their cloying fragrance filling the air. The child, no older than fourteen or fifteen years old, looked at her with wide, innocent eyes, her long hair framing her delicate face.Eva blinked in surprise, her anger momentarily forgotten as she stared at the young child. Somehow she felt something about this girl resembling a boy she used to know. “Hello.”“What's your name, child?" She asked, just as the footsteps outside became louder.The girl smiled faintly. “You’re running from people.” she said nugging at the door.Eva's brows furrowed. “Yes, I am.”. “Quick! Look for her before Boss gets upstairs!”The sound of the bodyguards’ voices rang in the hallway, getting closer. Panic flooded Eva's chest. She scanned the room frantically, looking for a way out, but the space was small, and the windows were sealed shut.She turned back to the girl, her pulse racing

    Eva who was moments away from hitting him with the IV pole again when his pitiful plea caught her attention. “You can tell your boss to rot in hell—” she started, but the man cut her off.“Please, Lady Boss!” he cried, desperation in his voice. “I have a wife, kids, and a family to feed—”Eva's brow twitched at his words. Of course, he definitely wouldn't be a monk like his boss, however, she had a feeling he was saying this to make her feel guilty. “And you have a dog too, I bet?” she quipped sarcastically.His eyes widened in shock. “Y-yes! Exactly! His name is Chase!”She grit her teeth in annoyance, snatching the phone from his shaking hands. “What do you want?” she demanded, her patience wearing thin. She could guess that he was trying to stall time until he got here but she wasn't planning to let him meet her here.The bodyguards flinched in fear. They truly applauded her for her boldness, but they also feared for the poor woman's head! It would really fly if she continued talk
