“Gwen, why are two company cars following behind us?" Eva asked when she noticed the two black cars she recognized as Elite Entertainment cars following them. "Eva, I've told boss Kai about this, so he also wants a few company bodyguards to escort us.” Gwen explained to Eva. Of course, she wouldn't keep her mouth shut after she figured out some dangerous plot against Eva. " Is that really needed?” Eva questioned again, making Gwen snap her head to look at her " Don't joke around. This is more than needed. I will do my best to protect you. You also need to protect yourself at this point Eva, so don't slack when you get to the airport because we've got prey to avoid.” Gwen remarked. "Gwen, what do you think? Did you think I wasn't prepared in the first place? Don't worry, by now I already know that I'm attracted to trouble." Eva replied while maintaining her calm smile. Now that everything was within their control, what was there to be afraid of? Four years ago, she had already
The fans' questions grew louder and louder. Meanwhile, passersby began to take photos and discuss amongst themselves. They all knew the rumors about Eva not having manners but this situation just made all the rumors about her true. In comparison, they believed in Christine's character more. Everyone surrounded Eva, leaving her no room to retreat. So, she calmed down and removed her sunglasses, revealing her bare face to the fans and passersby, "If you want me to answer your questions, that's fine. But first, can I ask a few questions?" She calmly asked. "Go ahead," the anti-fans looked at her like they were waiting to see what tricks she could play. "Firstly, you said you are my fans. In that case, can you tell me what year I debuted and what awards I received?" As soon as the anti-fans heard this, they were stunned. How could they possibly understand Eva? They hated her so much. The reason for being here was because they wanted to sabotage her reputation. "We... We are a
"I recorded this..." Gwen said and lifted her phone, "When the time comes, I will give you a big present." After speaking, Gwen immediately called the police. In less than ten minutes, the police immediately sent people to escort Eva. With the addition of Damien’s bodyguards who they had mistaken as the bodyguards Kai sent, it didn't take long for Eva to disappear from sight. However, before she left, she whispered something to the police. "Eva, Christine's manager has already made the topic of stealing Christine’s endorsement the number one," Gwen said as she looked at her phone. “Hm, is that so? It seems like Christine's manager is really focused on taking me down.” Eva casually remarked. “That crazy bitch just doesn't know when to stop, does she? What are you going to do?" Gwen asked. “Let them enjoy it for now. Once we arrive in California, I will send you a video.” Eva said. "What video is that?” Gwen was surprised to know that Eva had a video she was saving and wanted
********* Both Eva and Gwen stepped out of the plane as they walked towards the car that was already waiting for them. One of the bodyguards helped them load their luggages into the car trunk and opened the door for Eva. “Gwen, I've sent you the video now." Eva told Gwen, who nodded and checked her phone. After a while of watching the video herself, Gwen turned to look at Eva. “Eva, how did you get this?" She questioned. This was the video of how Everette was pushed down the stairs a few weeks ago before the fashion show. She heard that the video was not full due to the fact that the CCTV cameras were already half destroyed. But in the video Eva just sent to her, it was a full video and very clear. It showed how Evertte was pushed from behind and the image of the person who did it was clear to the extent she can tell that the person was a male due to his body shape and figure. “I have my source, Gwen.” Eva casually told her. "I've sent an attachment file to you now. It's the info
Meanwhile, Christine was still secretly happy about the trending news when President Adolf sent for her to his office. “President Adolf, I was told you wanted to see me?" Christine asked as she walked into the office. "Come quickly, my Top Ten Model Awards winner is here.” President Adolf waved at her to come in. Christine raised her brow and looked at him. “What are you talking about, President Adolf?" She asked him. “Quickly, Christine, you have secured an international makeup brand and we have a meeting soon." President Adolf informed Christine, who's eyes widened when she heard him. “Are you serious right now?" She asked him. “Christine, I would never joke about something like this. Let's go to the meeting immediately." President Adolf stood up from his seat. Christine nodded her head and followed President Adolf. Her heart was filled with joy. President Adolf and Christine entered the meeting room along with a group of people who also entered the meeting room to discuss
At this moment, Gwen was also in the fan group. She looked at the anti-fans and laughed at herself, "I never thought Christine was such a two-faced b*tch, yet we were so infatuated with her. We must have been blind. From now on … I will hate Christine for the rest of my life." "Me too …" "Me too …" "I don't understand why BTG Industry and Christine would stoop so to do something as wicked as that to Everette. Even though Everette is a competitor, this should have been a fair battle between the two models.” " What do you expect? Christine knew that our Evertte was obviously going to win the contract so she did such a dirty trick to take out our beloved idol.” " I hate Christine more than ever and we fans of Evertte deserve an apology from you stupid people that call yourselves the devoted fans of Christine.” There were several posts and comments from Everette fans that were lamenting angrily on the internet after finding out that Christine and BTG Industry were likely to b
This was a message sent by Christine's official chat group. It also meant that Christine's fan club was in complete disarray. Even her most loyal fans had started to turn against her. How could the public still believe Christine's words? The media slandered each other and the netizens went crazy. Even the advertisers that had used Christine as their spokesperson immediately started making phone calls to President Adolf and some began to withdraw their advertisements and sent out letters from their lawyers. Seeing this, Christine knew … she was finished … she was completely finished! “Ahhhh!!!! Why is all of this happening to me right now?!!!" Christine couldn't control her anger and threw her phone to the ground. Everything she had worked so hard to build had just started to crumble in a span of two weeks that Eva made an announcement of returning back to the industry. "Christine, pull yourself together. Even if, in the end, you can't become a famous model, you can still be the wif
……….… As soon as Eva stepped out of the car, she received a phone call from Damien. At the same time, Gwen quickly searched for the results of the battle. The situation was looking good. It seemed, the two-faced saintess wouldn't be able to make a comeback so easily. “Hello, Damien? Why did you call?" Eva asked, after she answered the call. "Should I congratulate my wife for winning yet another battle?" Damien sat in his swivel chair. Under the reflection of the sun, his firm facial features looked exceptionally handsome. Eva let out a small chuckle when she heard him. He sounded cold and indifferent over the phone as usual but she was used to it already. "Are you going to congratulate me every time I make a big move?" "Can't you tell? I was just looking for an excuse to call you … " Eva's heart raced for a split second. She said in a low voice, "It's a pity I can't go home tonight." "If you say I miss you, there might be a miracle," Damien teased. "Do you want to try?" "I mi
---The next morning, the media was ablaze with photos of their romantic outing. Paparazzi had captured them at the amusement park, painting them as the ultimate power couple. In every image, Damien’s protective nature was evident—his arm firmly around Eva, his gaze never straying far from her.The headlines praised their chemistry, their undeniable connection. While most media outlets dared not mention Eva’s past, a few foolishly brought up her previous engagement to Mark and unearthed unflattering photos from years ago.Damien was swift in his retaliation. The companies responsible were swiftly dismantled, their employees blacklisted, and the malicious articles erased from existence. His actions sent a clear message: any attack on Eva would be met with swift and merciless consequences.Unaware of the media frenzy, Eva woke up to a flood of messages. Most were from her estranged family, whose sudden interest in her life only deepened her disdain.[Mistress]: Ungrateful child! Why did
Her words seemed to shatter the last of his control. Damien’s movements became more deliberate, his hands exploring her body with a confidence that left her breathless. She felt the heat of his touch through the thin fabric of her dress, and when his lips found the sensitive spot at the base of her throat, a soft moan escaped her.The tension between them built with every touch, every kiss, until it was almost unbearable. Damien’s hands found the straps of her dress, and he slid them down her shoulders, his lips following the path they left behind. She felt vulnerable yet safe under his gaze, the intensity in his eyes making her feel like the most precious thing in the world.Just as they reached the point of no return, the shrill sound of Damien’s phone shattered the moment. He froze, his forehead resting against hers as he let out a frustrated groan. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he muttered, his voice filled with irritation.Eva couldn’t help but laugh softly, her cheeks flushed a
She trembled at his words, their certainty sending a ripple through her. He spoke with such confidence, so assured that she would stay by his side for the rest of their lives, and to her surprise, she found comfort in it. There was something deeply reassuring about his unwavering resolve, about knowing he was the kind of man who would cross oceans and move mountains to keep her close—even if it meant chasing her to the ends of the earth just to bring her back."I never intended to run," she whispered, her voice soft but resolute. Her words made his heart race. He tightened his arms around her, unwilling to let go.Eva remained nestled against Damien’s chest, her breath steadying as his strong arms cocooned her in warmth. For a moment, the world around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them in the magical ambiance he had created. The distant hum of the city and the lingering scent of roses faded into the background, replaced by the quiet, steady rhythm of his heartbeat
Okay, now remove your hands."Eva hesitated for a moment before doing as Damien instructed. When she opened her eyes, confusion flickered across her face. Darkness engulfed her entirely, so thick she could barely make out his silhouette ahead of her."What's going on—"Her words faltered as Damien pressed a button. In an instant, the oppressive darkness was replaced with a breathtaking display of shimmering lights.The scenery before her was magical, like something out of a dream. Majestic archways adorned with twinkling lights stretched as far as her eyes could see. Each arch was intricately designed with delicate white metalwork, interwoven with clusters of vibrant flowers. Fairy lights danced across the vivid blooms, their colors blending into a mesmerizing spectrum. String lights cascaded above them, adding to the enchantment.Her gaze drifted downward, and her breath caught. The ground was a carpet of roses—red, white, and pink—arranged in a heart-shaped pattern so intricate it s
Suspicious, Eva pulled out her phone and opened the camera. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the glaring red marks on her neck—two perfectly visible hickeys."You!" she gasped, smacking Damien’s arm as he burst into laughter."You… you…!" she stammered, completely flustered. Her thoughts raced in a whirlwind of panic. ‘Oh my goodness! Has it been there this whole time? Is that why people kept staring at me?!’"It’s not funny!" she scolded, now using her purse to hit him, much to the amusement of his bodyguards."If it makes you feel better, you can leave some on me too," Damien teased, winking playfully. She retaliated by swatting at him repeatedly, but he was far too amused by her adorable expression to take her seriously. The mere thought of her leaving a mark on him filled him with excitement, his eyes glinting with anticipation and unspoken hopes."You wish!" she snapped, instantly crushing his hopes, though his smirk only deepened."Careful what you wish for," he murmured,
After the haunted house, Eva eagerly dragged Damien from one ride to another—towering roller coasters, spinning swings, and even a few kiddie rides. For her sake, Damien endured the sweltering heat and the endless lines. He’d thought a regular FastPass was fine, but Eva insisted they live like “normal” people for the day.He glanced at her flushed cheeks and noticed her eyes drooping slightly from the heat. With a sharp flick of his wrist, his bodyguards stepped forward. One handed him a hat while the other awaited further instructions."Get iced drinks," Damien ordered, placing the hat gently on Eva’s head.Her curious eyes peeked up at him, and she began to speak, but he cut her off with a sigh. "You're overexerting yourself, silly." Pulling out a pristine handkerchief, he wiped the beads of sweat forming on her forehead with surprising tenderness."But it’s so much fun…" Eva mumbled, reaching for his arm. To her dismay, he dodged her touch at first, only to surprise her by intertwi
Before she could respond, he kissed her with a fierce urgency, his lips claiming hers with an intensity that left her breathless. His mouth was rough and demanding, pulling her closer, but there was also an undeniable sweetness in the way he tasted her. Despite the forceful kiss, a warmth spread through her, igniting a growing heat within her body.A sharp gasp escaped her when he nipped at her bottom lip, the sudden sting quickly soothed by his tongue, the tenderness of his touch both punishing and soothing in equal measure. His kiss deepened, and as promised, her mind spiraled into blankness, consumed by the sensation of his lips on hers. His hand slid behind her, giving her a gentle but possessive squeeze that made her heart race.The soft sound of her breath hitched as he continued, kissing her mercilessly until her lips were tender and swollen. Her legs were barely holding her up, but he was there, steadying her, marking her with every kiss, every touch. When he finally pulled aw
“Don’t worry, Big Boss. If you’re scared, you can always hide behind me!” Eva smirked, seizing the rare opportunity to tease Damien. When she saw his face darken, the corners of his mouth pulling down into a displeased frown, her laughter bubbled out uncontrollably. The sound was like a melody that softened his rigid expression, a faint smile threatening to break through.“Oh, and here—” she extended her hand toward him, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “You can hold my hand too. Don’t worry, dear prince, This knight will protect you.”Her challenge was met immediately as Damien grabbed her hand, his firm grip tugging her toward him. He leaned down, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, his voice low and husky, “Teasing me like this won’t end well for you.”Eva’s stomach flipped at the sensation of his breath on her skin, but she refused to give in. Smirking, she countered, “Not before I teach you who’s in charge today.” She was amused that, even though he was clearly scared, he
Everywhere they went, they drew countless stares. Some people even stopped mid-step, their gazes lingering on the captivating striking pair. Some stole discreet glances, while others openly stared, mesmerized by the strikingly elegant couple. Despite the commanding presence of the tall, suave man walking beside her, she did not appear overshadowed. Her sharp eyes and composed demeanor radiated confidence, her neutral expression betraying nothing as she took in her surroundings. Together, their combined aura was magnetic and overwhelming, an air of authority and sophistication that seemed almost regal. They were, without question, the embodiment of a true power couple.“Oh my gosh, he’s so handsome!” In a hypnotic daze upon seeing someone so blindly charismatic, one woman whispered to her friend. “I wonder if he’s a model or an actor.”“No, he looks like an immortal!” another chimed in, hearts practically radiating from her eyes."Pfft! Ivy, you’ve been watching way too many historica
