“First of all, you know that you have a bad relationship with Lucien from day one so you shouldn’t be giving me a cold attitude for that.” Matthew replied, not understanding why she was throwing a fuse about that.

“Lucien is my son and I should be able to have a proper conversation with him. He would be the future head of this family and he needs his mother’s advice but thanks to that crazy, nutcase daughter of yours, I can't do that. She and her mother have always been a hindrance to me and even after mother died your daughter keeps finding ways to kill me. Sometimes, I wish she would have died along with her mother! Plus, I don't know how news of my bad relationship gets the ear of my friends but they’ve been questioning about it,” Laura ranted angrily again. Of course, she knew Lucien might have to take over the Carter corporation someday and before then she needed a good relationship with him. And she alo hated the fact that her sour relationship with lucien was getting out as w

    " You don't particularly have to tell her to stop since her husband's family would do the job of telling her to stop.” Laura replied with a sly smile on her face, making Matthew raise his brow at what she was saying. " What are you talking about?” He asked. "Are you forgetting that we set Eva up on two successful dates with Lucas Sander. During that time, I can tell that Lucas really likes her. How about we don't hook them up anymore and just get them married? It's because Eva isn't married or engaged that's why she has the freedom to come after Christine but if she is already married she would think twice about her decision. Besides, having Eva marry into the Sander family would be a great benefit to us.” Laura remarked. She knew that a family like the Sander family would want to have a perfect daughter-in-law and they would restrict some of Eva's movement if she successfully got her to marry Lucas. It would be a problem solver for her and she wouldn't have to be worried about her

    Eva was speechless and didn’t know what to do. She looked over at Damien as she covered the mouthpiece on her phone and asked for his opinion, "Um….she is my manager and I apologize on her behalf just now. She just seems to have a misunderstanding regarding my sudden moving house. So...I need to pop out for a little while to explain to her." She gently told him as she looked at her calm and blank looking husband. She had to explain to him who Gwen was because she had heard of Damien's ruthlessness and didn't want him to go after her poor manager who had no clue who she was calling a bastard. "Do you trust her?" Damien suddenly asked. In actual fact, Damien had already investigated all of the people surrounding Eva currently and that included Gwen as well in private. She was passionate and professional - even though she was often simple-minded and her reputation as a top manager was something to not ignore. Despite her being simple-minded, she was very overprotective of Eva, loyal to

    "Da-damien, stop messing around with me. I have something to do and I don't understand what you mean.” She replied, still refusing to show that she was flustered by him. "Then let's bathe together.” He didn't waste time and told her. This time, Eva raised her head up to look at him. She carefully looked into his eyes and saw how he had a teasing small smile on his face. “You brute! Take your shower yourself." Knowing that he was just teasing and playing with her, she raised her hand and gently pushed him away. She didn't wait for Damien before she stomped out of the bathroom, but she could hear the light chuckle that escaped from Damien's mouth. ‘How dare he tease me like that for his own fun.’ Eva thought after she closed the bathroom door. She knew being naked with Damien might not mean anything to him since they had both shared the night together before. However, she could barely remember that night at all because she wasn’t sane. …….. Meanwhile, Gwen was extremely frus

    Gwen let out a "hmph", raised her head and glared at Eric before making her out of the apartment with Eric staring at her back figure before following behind her. This was the reason he had chosen not to get involved with women because of their dramatic ways. He led her towards the car and watched as she boarded the car with him. Throughout the entire journey, Gwen kept trying to test Eric by threatening him with all different methods, even mentioning Eva’s family background. All that was missing right now to fully make her threatening mission complete was a knife to his neck. Finally, as the car pulled up into the estate, Gwen who had been ranting nonstop in the car finally grew silent in shock. Dark Vale estate. This is one of the most popular estates in the city and she has heard that only one person was in possession of this estate. She couldn’t remember the name of the person she heard owns this place since it's not something most people talk about regularly but she knew that

    “Tell me, what made you make this type of decision? I know I'm not in the right position to tell you who to marry but this is too hasty, Eva. Were you forced?" While Gwen was busy questioning Eva, Damien had just finished dealing with some business issues and walked out of his study room and headed downstairs to the living room where both Eva and Gwen were sitting. Upon hearing footsteps, Gwen turned around and to her surprise, she saw Damien who walked over behind the sofa, leaned over affectionately and whispered gently into Eva's ear. Gwen quietly stared as she watched Eva turn to face Damien and nodded obediently, "I know, I won’t take longer than half an hour." Damien nodded his head, pleased with her response. He observed Gwen for a moment and headed back upstairs. Everything that happened in this short moment was enough to make Gwen freeze in disbelief. “Gwen? Are you okay?” Eva called her manager who had just turned into a statue after Damien left. "Eva, quick, pinch

    “It’s a bit complicated and I don't think I have the time to tell you all that now. Damien is just a backup plan for me in case I'm at my worst. I do not have plans to announce my relationship with Damien as of yet," Eva explained calmly. She gave off a confident and dazzling aura, “With the help of Damien, I know my career would advance in leaps and bounds, but other people would only acknowledge me as Damien's wife and not Evangeline the model. It was the same mistake I made when I listened to Mark and stopped being a model. I lost my title and when I was dumped, no one recognized me. Years ago, I managed to become the top model in Miami and top in the world ranking. Now, I am confident I can do it again with my own ability. I will retrieve what originally belongs to me." "Gwen, you should have already known what my intention was when I came back so if you are still willing to help me, then we are going into this together. If you don’t want to, I won’t pressure you. I will cancel

    After their conversation, Eva asked Eric to escort Gwen back to the company. As expected she didn't see Damien in the room when she entered since he had gone to the company. Taking the time that she was less busy, Eva walked out of the room again and went to find Old Lee who was busy tending to the flowers she had planted in the garden when she first came here. “Grandpa Lee, you're too old to be doing stuff like this. You should have asked one of the maids to do it for you or even called me." Eva remarked as she walked over to Old Lee. “Young madam, I just wish to do it. It's nothing serious, I see you're done attending to your guest?” Old Lee replied with a smile on his face as Eva gently collected the watering can from him. " Yes, she's gone.” Eva nodded her head. " Grandpa Lee, I received permission from Damien to do anything I like at the mansion, so I came to meet you. I'm thinking of adding some little things to brighten up this place.” She added as she looked at Old Lee

    "When are you going to tell me the reason why you are on the run? If my guess is correct, only brother Felix and brother Kevin are the ones on the run from grandfather. Why have you suddenly joined them as well?” Eva asked. Felix and Kevin are both Harry's older brother and the other two male cousins she was very close to. But unfortunately, she can't contact those two because they use a private number to call her and it has been a year since she spoke to either of them. “Because I hacked into our grandfather's bank account and wired some money to myself. Technically it was for fun and when I was able to break the security code, I decided to take some cash as payment for my service.” “As for why my father wants to kill me, a client paid me to attack the company security which I did but I didn't do much harm to the company security though. However, my father is literally after me to give him the name of the client but I can't disclose my clients information despite them paying me

    Just as Rex reached for his expensive wine again, the door to the room burst open with a thunderous crash, silencing the revelry in an instant. Crimson laser dots swarmed the room, targeting every man, freezing them in place.Rex barely blinked when he saw the commotion. It was not something new to have enemies barge into the place he was having fun. Probably, it would end with another threat conversation before the other party leaves. Calmly, he sipped his drink and set it down. But just as his fingers released the glass, a bullet shattered it, spilling the expensive liquor onto his custom Dior shoes."Bold little bastards," Rex muttered, his patience wearing thin. Reaching into his waistband, he pulled out a pistol.Upon seeing the lethal weapon in his hand, the women beside scattered like frightened mice, their shrieks piercing the tension-filled air. They weren't women who worked for the clan, instead, they were just simple escorts and prostitutes called in to please these big-sho

    After switching the light on, her eyes landed on a set of bags near the couch. The scent of familiar dishes wafted through the air, and her heart twisted painfully. He had brought her favorite foods, likely intending to eat with her.He had wanted to eat with her. Her chest prickled with guilt and for a moment, she hesitated.But then she glanced at the shattered vase she had thrown in anger, and the guilt was replaced by frustration. Gathering the bags, she marched to the door and opened it to find Damien’s bodyguards standing stiffly outside.“You must be hungry standing out here all day,” she said, shoving the bags into their hands. “Take these. I’m not in the mood to eat.”The men exchanged bewildered glances.“Lady Boss, are you sure—”“If you don’t want them, throw them away,” she said curtly, shutting the door before they could protest further.“We can't really toss this away, can't we? This is too expensive." One of the bodyguards said, glancing at the bag while the others nod

    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.
