Eva had no idea why her wandering feet brought her back to Stardom mall. She ran a frustrated hand through her hair, debating whether to leave. Just as she turned to exit, a thought stopped her. She needed a gown for tomorrow. Reluctantly, she stepped toward the elevator.

When the store representatives hurried to assist her, she waved them off.

"I can manage on my own today."

They bowed and stepped back, respecting her wishes. As the elevator doors opened, Eva stepped inside and instinctively pressed the button for the top floor.

Without a plan or specific destination in mind, she wandered aimlessly until her steps halted in front of NE. She blinked in surprise at her unintended destination, but what truly caught her attention was the sight of a familiar supermodel chatting with a store employee.

"Nathy?" she called out, startled to see her.

Nathalia turned sharply, her face bearing the same frosty expression her brother often wore. Who dared to quse that nickname reserved solely for

Ever since its announcement, the city couldn’t stop talking about it. With limited invitations, desperation ran high, and everyone scrambled to secure their spot.Socialites begged their partners, daughters pleaded with their mothers, and sons sought favors from their fathers, but entry wasn’t guaranteed, no matter the connections. The event’s exclusivity, coupled with top-tier security, made it nearly impenetrable. Reporters jostled for prime spots, hoping to capture the best shots of the glamorous arrivals.At one of Miami's most prestigious hotels, a crimson red carpet stretched from the street to the grand banquet hall. Velvet ropes lined the walkway, guarded by stern-faced security. Overhead, he

    The reporters held their breaths in anticipation as onlookers anxiously awaited the next big name to emerge. Fans gripped their phones tightly, and the air buzzed with loud chatter from reporters calling out to socialites and celebrities to strike a pose.A sleek black Lincoln limousine pulled up, capturing everyone’s attention.When an elegantly poised leg stepped out, followed by a woman clad in gold, the crowd erupted."It's Eva, the former Queen!"“The queen of modeling has graced this place!" "Damien Cross’s woman has arrived!""Is she representing Carter Corporation or herself tonight?""That dress... wow...""Isn't that the highly anticipated gown from the NE collection? I thought it wasn’t released yet!""As expected, her crown might have been taken, but her wealth remains untouched!""But why isn’t she here with Damien Cross?" A pointed comment sliced through the admiration, its speaker disappearing into the crowd with a smug smirk.Her words acted as a spark, igniting the w

    " Miss Eva, please tell us, is Mr. Cross your next big thigh? There are speculations that you're clinging onto him.” A reporter confidently asked, despite being under the pressure of Eva's calm gaze."Why would I need a ‘big-thigh’ when I am one myself?" she answered coolly, her dignified tone leaving the crowd stunned.Her words resonated deeply, shutting down any attempt to undermine her. Those who tried to tarnish her reputation were now questioning their beliefs.They all knew deep down that she was right. She was Evangeline Carter.Her name alone carried enough weight to silence doubters, and her commanding presence solidified it further. It was one thing to wear an exquisite dress, but to exude the grace and confidence that made it come alive was a rare trait. Eva needed no man's wealth or validation to define her. From the moment she was born, her legacy and the fortune tied to it were more than enough to secure a life of endless possibilities.Yet, some reporters, desperate to

    The growing buzz of the crowd was deafening. Eva knew the questions wouldn’t stop, and the scrutiny of the reporters would only intensify. Revealing the identity of the man in question, who is none other than Alex, wasn't an option. If the media dug deeper into his background, it could lead to connections with Crystal—something their contract strictly forbade.Her lips pressed into a thin line as she resolved to ignore the mounting pressure. But with the smug model flaunting herself nearby, the prying eyes of the reporters, and Nathalia struggling under the barrage of questions, Eva realized she needed to take control of the situation."Miss Eva, is the man in the photo a former lover, a secret fling, or someone you were involved with before Damien Cross entered the picture—"The reporters were silenced by the sudden shift in Eva's demeanor. Lifting her head, she fixed them with a calm yet piercing gaze. Her lips curved into a slow, confident smile that left the crowd momentarily capt

    Eva chuckled softly, her laughter light but carrying an edge that sliced through the tension between them. To an outsider, the scene might have appeared like a friendly exchange, given her relaxed demeanor, but the undertones were far from cordial. “Oh, Mr. Johnson,” she began, her smile widening slightly, “let me clarify something for you. I don’t get desperate—especially not for things I’ve already lost interest in.”Her smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold, emotionless expression that sent a chill down his spine. The light in her eyes dimmed, leaving only an icy resolve. The shift was so sudden and sharp that it left Mark momentarily stunned, the weight of her words sinking into him like daggers.Seizing the opportunity to paint herself in a good light, Christine flashed a bright smile on her face as she looked at Eva. “Sister, don't be offended by Mark. You know how he is sometimes, he doesn't mean-" “Shut up, Christine." Eva coldly cut her off, not bothering to let C

    The crowd tensed, a collective gasp filling the room. Several guests tugged at the collars of their shirts as an oppressive atmosphere enveloped the space. The temperature seemed to drop sharply, but the weight of tension pressed down on everyone like a suffocating fog. It wasn’t just the sharp sound of the slap that had people frozen—it was the towering figure that intercepted it.Damien Cross stood unmoving, his tall and lean frame emanating a chilling authority. His usually charismatic presence now radiated something far more ominous. His face was unreadable, his lifeless eyes making it impossible to gauge his emotions. Anger was one thing; his eerie calm was far more unsettling. To look into his eyes was like staring into an abyss. The oppressive aura around him felt like the embodiment of death itself, sending shivers down spines. The people standing nearby couldn’t help but take a few steps backward as if they could see the invisible specters of death swirling in his shadow.

    Mark's hands clenched into fists, his body trembling with barely contained fury. His vision blurred with red as a fiery rage consumed him, the mockery and humiliation clawing at his pride.Sensing his volcanic anger, Christine stepped in quickly, placing a delicate hand on his chest to stop him from lunging forward. Her voice was soft, almost pleading, as she whispered, “Sweetheart, don’t do it.” She stroked his chest in what she hoped was a soothing gesture. “It’s not worth it,” she murmured, her tone saccharine, attempting to pacify the seething man.Mark exhaled sharply, his grip tightening around Christine’s waist. The action grounded him, reminding him why he was here in the first place. He hadn’t come to this event to pick a fight or fuel a scandal—he had come to rebuild connections and salvage his crumbling reputation.Taking a slow, deliberate step back, he forced himself to swallow his anger. But the shame of backing down in front of Damien, Eva, and the entire room burned de

    Christine noticed the defeat in Mark’s eyes and frowned deeply. He resembled a fallen commander on a desolate battlefield, his armor shattered, his sword broken, and his dignity reduced to a tattered white flag fluttering in surrender.She refused to let him crumble like this. He was a Johnson, for heaven’s sake! How could he let a single insult from Damien Cross completely destroy his pride? Many others had faced Damien’s wrath and emerged unscathed, so why couldn’t he?A storm of emotions flickered in her gaze as determination hardened her delicate features. This was not the end of the Johnson legacy. A king might fall, but he could rise again.Clenching her fists, she grabbed Mark’s hand and led him away from the crowd of mocking onlookers. She blocked out their jeers and whispers, letting their insults fuel her resolve. She was done playing the damsel in distress. It was time to use her status and connections to rebuild what had been lost.“Haha, look at them slinking away with th

    Lucien entered the living room with his usual quiet air, his school bag slung over one shoulder. His dark eyes, cold and unreadable, briefly scanned the room before landing on his mother, Laura, seated gracefully on the couch with a teacup in hand. Her posture was as poised as ever, but Lucien’s sharp gaze detected the faint smugness that usually lingered after one of her scheming conversations with Christine.He said nothing, brushing past her with the silent intent of heading upstairs. His long strides were interrupted when Laura called out, her tone laced with a false warmth."Lucien," she said, setting her teacup down. "Come here for a moment."Lucien stopped mid-step, his back stiffening. He slowly turned around, his expression blank but his sharp gaze silently questioning her interruption.Laura’s smile wavered under his cold stare, but she maintained her composure. "Christine just got back a while ago. Why don’t you go upstairs and greet her?"Lucien raised an eyebrow, crossing

    Christine stormed into the Carter mansion, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor, her jaw clenched tightly in frustration. She tossed her designer bag onto the couch, her lips pressed into a thin line as she paced back and forth. The events of the day replayed in her mind like a relentless reel—Eva’s smirk, her cutting words, the way she had effortlessly dismissed Christine in front of everyone. It was a humiliation Christine couldn’t stomach."That woman," she hissed under her breath. "She always finds a way to one-up me. How does she always come out on top?"Laura, who had been sitting in the adjacent room sipping tea, looked up as her daughter’s angry footsteps echoed. She set her cup down gracefully and stood, smoothing her dress as she approached Christine."Christine," Laura said in a calm, measured tone, "what’s the matter now?"Christine stopped pacing and turned to her mother, her eyes blazing with frustration. "It’s Eva! She humiliated me again today, in front

    Once the deal was official, she turned to leave the meeting room with Gwen and Trix at her side. They made their way down the sleek hallway of HB Industry, their footsteps echoing on the polished floors. Just as they neared the exit, they came across Christine and her entourage, who had just arrived.Christine’s eyes widened when she saw Eva. Her usual fake smile quickly appeared, though there was a slight tension in her features. Eva wasn’t sure whether to laugh or feel disgusted as Christine approached her.“Sister!” Christine said, her voice sweet and syrupy as she stepped forward. “I am so sorry for being late. I didn’t mean to hold up the meeting like this. I just got caught up in some last-minute details.”Eva’s expression remained neutral, but she couldn’t help the slight roll of her eyes at Christine’s words. She had no intention of entertaining Christine’s faux apology, but Christine wasn’t finished yet.“Oh, and about last night,” Christine said in a tone that was just loud

    In the sleek, minimalist meeting room at HB Industry, Eva sat at the center, sitting by her sides were none other than Gwen and Trix, with her official company lawyer at her side. They were all dressed sharply, the atmosphere tense as they awaited the start of the meeting. On the other side of the polished conference table, Mr. Carl and his HB Industry team sat with the Whyte Corps representatives, their suits impeccably pressed and faces expressionless.It was a rare sight to see Eva waiting this long, especially for a meeting she had no patience for. She had already signed the contract in her mind, but the delays were irking her. The anticipation of what was supposed to be a routine procedure seemed to drag on indefinitely. The room had grown uncomfortably still as they all waited for the meeting to start. Eva’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of her chair, a subtle gesture that spoke volumes about her impatience .With a soft sigh, Eva glanced at Gwen and Trix, silently expre

    She stood at the doorway, adjusting the strap of her handbag as she prepared to leave for HB Industry. Damien followed her to the entrance, his hands casually tucked into his pockets, though his piercing gaze gave away his reluctance to let her go.“Don’t forget to call me if anything comes up,” he said, his deep voice steady yet tinged with a protective edge.“I won’t,” Eva replied with a small smile. She turned to open the door when his voice stopped her.“Wait.”She turned back, one brow raised in question.“You’re leaving without giving me a proper goodbye?” Damien asked, a teasing smirk tugging at his lips.Eva blinked, caught off guard by his request. “A proper goodbye? You’re serious?”He stepped closer, the warmth of his presence wrapping around her like a cocoon. “I don’t joke about such things. A goodbye kiss is mandatory.”Her cheeks flushed slightly, though she masked it with a playful roll of her eyes. “Fine,” she relented, taking a step toward him. “But I’ll only give yo

    After a pause, George returned to the phone. “Damon Cross,” he said, purposely mispronouncing the name to irritate him.Damien felt his nose twitch at the deliberate and grating mispronunciation of his name, but he maintained a polite tone, reminding himself he was speaking to an elder. “Yes, Grandfather?” He replied smoothly, emphasizing the title in retaliation. Two could easily play the game of pettiness.George resisted the urge to march over to the banquet and knock some sense into the boy for daring to use that title. Grandfather? He scoffed internally. ‘If you want to call me that, first show me a ring on her finger—and then give me some great-grandkids before you even think about it! I wonder what that useless grandfather of his taught him.’“Now listen clearly to me. If she stays at your house, it’s for tonight only. And if I find out you’ve done anything improper, I’ll personally see to it that you’re castrated. Do you understand?”Julian, overhearing the threat, nearly cho

    ---As the banquet neared its end, Damien escorted Eva to his car. He fully intended to take her home—to their home—hoping to spend the night by her side. But his plans were thwarted by an all-too-familiar figure: her meddling grandfather.The moment Eva settled into the car, her phone rang. Damien, still holding the door open for her, frowned at the sound. When he saw the caller ID, his expression darkened further. Of course, it was him.While Eva answered the call, Damien’s sharp eyes scanned the area. Hidden in the shadows near the back entrance, a figure lurked—one of George’s men, undoubtedly there to keep tabs on her. His presence only worsened Damien’s mood.“Yes, Grandfather, I’m leaving the banquet now,” Eva said into the phone, her tone polite but weary. “Yes, I’ve made a few connections… I’m heading home? No, not to Damien’s. I know, I know, there will be more rumors if—”Before she could finish, Damien snatched the phone from her hand.“She’ll be perfectly safe with me,”

    Eva turned to him, her voice barely above a whisper. "Did you do this?" She lifted her gaze to meet his, realizing he had been watching her the entire time, his piercing eyes fixed solely on her. She had heard whispers, unconfirmed reports that Lydia was behind the replica of the blue dress that was sent to her. But to see her now, reduced to this state, it seemed the consequences of her actions were almost... excessive. "Yes," Damien replied without hesitation, his tone calm but firm. He tried to guide her out of the banquet, his hand lightly pressing against her back, but Eva stood her ground, refusing to move. "Why?" she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. Damien’s sharp eyes narrowed at her question, his jaw tightening. What did she mean, why? That woman had orchestrated her public disgrace, and now Eva was hesitating, questioning the justice served? Did she not understand that showing mercy to enemies was akin to betraying herself? "She was responsible for your humiliati

    Christine’s nails dug into her palm, her anger simmering beneath a mask of civility. She longed to lash out, but Damien’s presence reminded her of her place. Any wrong move could lead to her downfall.“It’s unbecoming to insult others so publicly…” Christine’s voice was a deliberate attempt at calm, but it lacked conviction.“The truth often stings, get over it.” Eva replied coldly, her unapologetic tone reinforcing her dominance. The crowd e were not even surprised by her response because they were used to this behavior of hers, but they were taken back by Christine's sudden desire to argue with Eva.Wasn't Wasn’t Christine supposed to be the passive type, the one who ended arguments rather than starting or joining them? The sudden shift in her behavior was beginning to alter everyone’s perception of her, casting doubt on the image she had so carefully cultivated.Dusti standing nearby with a glass of wine, observed the scene with quiet amusement.
