“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
Damien who was busy contemplating on how to catch his face tilted his head slightly with his piercing gaze that can even cut diamond. For some odd reason, his mind had been occupied and it kept drifting to that woman's face and her voice, most especially her mesmerizing and captivating eyes. When he stood closer to her yesterday he noticed the color of her eyes, it was bluish-green, like beautiful soft emeralds. Even with her ink-black hair and snow white skin, her eyes stood out, making them more alluring and mesmerizing. Despite the fact that she spoke to him, he didn't find her disgusting like other women.On the other hand, Shane wondered if Damien being attracted to a woman is a good thing or not. Damien was oblivious to the fact that he was torturing his assistant with his very chilling presence. Regardless, he would still act as if nothing had happened even if he knew. Damien turned to walk towards the couch. He leaned comfortably and inclined his arm over the couch and cros
Damien was sitting in his study room working on the documents he had brought home from the office. He had a dark expression on his face as he kept reading the document in hand.After a while, he placed the document down on the table and grabbed his phone beside him and dialed the number of a certain someone.“I saw her yesterday.” Damien suddenly spoke immediately the call connected.“The woman who took your virginity? Besides, did you see my caller ID and the picture? What does it mean?” The angry voice of a man rang out from the other side of the call. “Do not disturb.” Damien curtly responded. “Good. And you have the guts to call me. Do you have a death wish?”Damien ignored the message and typed nonetheless.“I need one answer from you.” Damien remarked.“What is it? I have no time to spare for you.” The voice urged in anger.“She denied knowing me yesterday? And she doesn't have any idea about who I am.” Damien Getting no response. One minute..….two minutes…..five minutes…..se
Eva closed the door behind her as she walked into her apartment. Surprisingly, when she carried the box she thought it was going to be heavy based on the big size but it turned out to be light for her. Placing the black on the glass table, Eva sat down on the couch folding her arms in front of her chest as her gaze bore deeply at the black box. When Nathalia had warned her about the things Damien could do, and based on the information she had gathered on the internet and the terrifying rumors surrounding the infamous Damien Cross she heard in the past. According to Nathalia and the rumors, he was a ruthless, merciless man who wouldn't blink at the idea of murder, torture and destroying an entire family generation and legacy that have lived for centuries to come. Not even the underworld wanted to offend him, his ruthlessness was a fearsome thing no one could ever play with. A flick of his finger was enough to send the people on their knees begging for his mercy. With all this Eva
Eva burst into a loud laughter when she heard Nathalia's words. “Your birthday is still seven months away, so I don't think you need an early birthday gift and particularly not this kind of gift.” Eva remarked.Even though Eva couldn't see her, Nathalia pouted when she got rejected by Eva too.“Besides, I have no intention of keeping this purse or giving it to you. I'm definitely going to return it back from where it came from.” Crossing her arms, Eva informed with a light sparkle in her eyes.Nathalia raised her eyebrows, “Return to where it came from? How did you plan to do it?” Nathalia asked in curiosity.Not just anyone could easily get in contact with Damien Cross. It was even hard for other CEOs from reputable companies to reach him. It would take months of booking in order to personally see him in person.“Besides, returning the gift might really make him come after you. What if he gave you this gift to test you…. I mean you don't want to keep making enemies with him by retu
