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
Shane followed behind Damien and opened the door to the office and entered after Damien entered the office. As usual, just like Damien's personality, the room was lifeless and chilly. Damien strolled towards his chair and sat down behind his big desk. “Today's schedule?” Damien's deep voice rang out in the room.Shane cleared his throat and began his report as he looked at his tablet. “Well, you have a meeting with the CEO of Sky corporation at 2pm. You also-” “Postpone that meeting.” Damien cut off Shane with a dark expression.“What?! Okay, I understand.” Shane replied with a sigh, knowing Damien for years now he was already used to his expression. He knew it wasn't intentional but sometimes he wished that Damien could control his facial expressions. “What about the LT Corp CEO who is requesting another meeting with you? Do you wish to deny or accept?” Shane asked.“Deny.” Damien replied without much hesitation to think about it.“Okay.” Shane nodded his head. He was already anti
The presence of the knife gleaming under the light, made Shane swallow his saliva in fear. For a second he thought Damien was about to throw the knife at him again for voicing out his thoughts. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Damien cut through the box.Shane could feel his hand shaking slightly in extreme anxiety and anticipation of what inside the box. It was impossible to even think of entering the Cross Enterprise office building with having a workers ID. However, someone was capable enough of not only entering the building to the Cross Enterprise but also possess the private key card that gave the access to the highest floor in the building. This was practically impossible and unacceptable, only a few handful of people have the access to the private key card and they were mostly Damien's trusted men. So, how the heck was this a possible to be a hand delivery.Shane felt his heart beating faster and faster against his chest with each passing seconds as he watch Damie
After both Shane and Mary left the office, Damien stared at the big window behind his desk. The world looked so small to him as gaze down at the city from high up. He owned everything within a 70 mile radius and beyond, there was nothing he couldn't afford or get as long as he desired that thing in the world.The women threw themselves freely at him purposely and discreetly.Even when other country's most beautiful women threw themselves and approached him, he never flinched or even spared them a second glance. He wasn't interested in them even when they all did different kinds of schemes just to get his attention. He still didn't bat an eye for those kinds of women that shamelessly show off their bountiful bodies.Damien's mind wandered off to Eva and a slight frown appeared on his face, there was nothing special about Eva nor her background could be compared to the background of other ladies that were willing to sacrifice everything just to get his attention. Eva was different but y
Despite the fact of losing her title and position, the handful of people she was still acquainted with seemed to like her more than usual because she was now a single woman. She also remembers how Nathalia made fun of her about it, saying that most of them were like that because they knew that the spot beside her was empty and there was a chance she might fall in love with one of them.Eva didn't really believe that because she didn't plan to fall in love at this point of her life. She placed down the white card and grabbed her cellphone phone. She scrolled through her contact list for a while contemplating on who to call. After a few minutes of scanning through her contacts, she decided to text a high-profiled CEO that deals with cars in Miami.Eva had a small smile on her face, he really is trying to flaunt his wealth to her. He gifted her a purse, then she gifted him a wrist watch which was twice the price of the purse but now he is giving her this necklace which cost three times
“Your father informed me that you are going to attend the birthday party of the Grason Patriarch. He asked me to set a date for you with the Sander family heir because he doesn't trust you to not embarrass the family reputation with the date you will bring along.” Laura explained. Eva had a scowl on her face when she heard Laura's explanation. ‘Sander family?’ “Since when did you take charge of hooking me up with some random guys? How is that any of my father's concern about my date to the party? Wasn't he the one that wanted me at the party? Why did he want to choose my date for me again?” Eva questioned with an irritated look on her face.“What do you mean by that statement, Evangline Carter?! As the Madam of the family, I can order you to go on the blind date without your father asking me to.” Laura yelled angrily, she hated the fact that Eva wasn't treating her as the Madam of the Carter family. “As long as you're part of this family you have to follow every order.” She added.“
