In her mind, the best case scenario she came up with at the moment was that he would get angry enough and that would lead him to tossing her onto the ground and the impact would be able to break the chair. The worst case is that she would be pummeled into submission. Right now she should prefer the latter lot because getting pummeled is not a very good scenario she'd want to imagine. Just as Eva was busy weighing her situation, she felt a hand grab her head and the next thing she knew her face roughly shoved into the floor, her forehead crashing against the hard surface. Her breath came in ragged gasps as she tried to straighten herself. She was surprised she was still conscious after having been hit in the head so hard just now. For a moment, she feared that the blow would knock her out completely, leaving her defenseless against whatever torment they had in store. At the same moment a plan instantly came to her mind. ‘Fake it till you make it, even when you wanna die.’ She dec
………….. An hour ago. Damien was busy working in his office as usual, however, he has been spacing out a little bit as he kept glancing at his phone like he was expecting a call from someone. Eva had sent him a message in the morning when she was going for her shoot and she said she was going to give him a call after she was done. Because he didn't see her call, he tried calling her himself but it was unreachable. Ever since then he has been spacing out on his. Just as Damien was checking his phone, his office door suddenly opened and both Shane burst into the office like he was being chased. His facial expression doesn't look good which made Damien crease his brow. “What is it?" He questioned and focused back on the file with him. He knew Shane might look like that because of the meeting he asked Eric to cancel for him without letting Shane aware of it. “B-boss, we have a problem. It's Miss Eva.” Shane said, making Damien pause and look up at him. “Eva? What about her?" He aske
“She left here a few hours ago and I haven't been able to reach her ever since then. Did she perhaps call you or something? I am worried that something bad has happened to my Eva….” Gwen explained. Though she didn't know the situation, she was having a bad feeling since Eva was not reachable. “I know. I will be there." Damien curtly replied with a deep scowl on his face. “O-okay." She said, still not understanding the situation “Boss, isn't Miss Eva the granddaughter of the Black family? Perhaps the patriarch is the one who took her." Shane suddenly said as they were on their way to the airport. Ever since they left the company in haste the temperature in the car has been so cold and unbearable that even Shane had to hold his breath. “Old Black is not sly enough to kidnap his own granddaughter.” Damien replied. George Black might be a sly and cunning old man but he knew George would not kidnap his own granddaughter and even if he wants to drag Eva to come and see him, he wouldn'
This time Kai frown deepened when he heard Gwen. She didn't take the company car he had prepared for her? “Gwen, what of the security team I asked to protect you guys?" Kai questioned as his voice turned serious. He knew the situation was now a different case. “What security team? The last time I saw any security team was when we were at the airport a few days ago. Did you send any bodyguards, big boss?” Gwen replied, surprised to hear that Kai prepared bodyguards for them. “By the way, I've already called and informed Mr. Cross about it. I don't know what else to do at this point. Do you think my Eva is okay?" She added worriedly. “Eva would be okay. You calm down. I will see what I can do." Kai reassured and hung up the call before calling the security leader and asked him about the men he told the security leader to protect Eva. However, it turns out that the security leader only gave his men orders to follow and protect Eva until she boarded the plane to California. Of cour
Though Kai told her to be calm, there is no way Gwen would be calm after knowing that something bad has happened to Eva on her watch. She couldn't help but blame herself for what happened, maybe if she had strictly asked Eva to take the company car it would have been easier to find her. Just as Gwen was busy pacing back and forth, her phone went off. She wanted to ignore the call when she glanced at her phone and saw it was an unknown caller but something told her to pick it, thinking it might be Eva. “Hello, Gwen Miller, speaking.” Gwen said after answering the call. She was expecting to hear Eva's voice but unfortunately it was a different partner called. " Good evening, Miss Miller. I believe you are the manager of Miss Evangeline Carter, right?” A male voice asked. To Gwen the voice was not familiar but if Eva was there she would have instantly known that the man speaking is Julian, her grandfather's assistant. ‘Oh, please don't tell this is a representative of a company that
Gwen took a deep breath and cleared her throat. She can't possibly lie to them so she would tell them the truth. " Honestly speaking, Mr. Reeves. I'm surprised to receive a call from you but currently, Eva isn't with me.” She said, after calming down a bit. " I don't understand? What do you mean Miss Eva isn't with you? Then you can at least let her know that her grandfather called once she-” " Mr. Reeves, Eva went missing from my sight five hours ago. I don't know where she is and she is not returning my calls just as you have been calling her too. I have a feeling that she is probably kidnapped.” Gwen quickly interrupted Julian and told him. "Kidnapped?! The young miss is kidnapped?” Julian yelled in shock, however before he had the time to ask more questions the phone got snatched from his hand. "What do you mean my granddaughter was kidnapped?” George asked, his voice cold enough to freeze the entire study room. Julian froze when he heard his boss' voice and even the way the
It was a bright and sunny day. White fluffy clouds drifted across the clear, blue sky.The distinguished guests dressed in their fanciest attire gathered on the top floor of a five-star hotel. They were here to celebrate the wedding ceremony of Evangeline, the Oldest daughter of the Carter family. She was getting married to Mark Johnson, the man she had been dating and engaged to for the past four years.The floor was covered with white snow lilies and red roses with a long red carpet cutting through from the entrance of the hall down to the aisle. The fresh fragrance filled the air. The guests happily stood along the carpet, all smiles and sending their best wishes.Evangeline was in a grand room getting dressed by the two stylists and their assistant that was hired to help her with her makeup. She sat in front of the dressing table as one of the stylists was applying make-up on her face while the other one was styling her hair."Miss Evangeline, you look perfect in this dress. The d
Standing across the road, Eva glanced back at the hotel where the event was being held for a few seconds before turning her attention back to the road. She reached out her hand to stop a cab that was driving towards her way.After the taxi stopped in front of her, she got in and settled down in the back seat of the cab."Where to Miss?" The cab driver inquired."T-take me to Grand land hotel." Eva replied in a weak and calm tone. She would rather be in another place than to stay back at the wedding event and witness the happy smiles on both Mark and Christine's face while she gets mocked by everyone. Grand Land hotel is a well-known and popular hotel. She didn't know much about the hotel but she heard about it on television and saw it on online platforms. The hotel was not only popular because it was a very nice hotel, it was said that the hotel has a club where people went often to have fun and spend their money. The club even had a private separate club which was known as the VIP
