After spending the rest of the whole time with Eva, Nathalia decided to take leave when it was already late. She would have preferred to stay over but she had to make sure she was home because she had work to do the next day and her Manager- Sarah would skin her alive if she found out that she wasn't at home.

Eva closed the door after Nathalia left, she glanced at the mess in the living room and decided to ignore it for the next day because she was already tired from the long day.

She fell lazily on her bed and dozed off to sleep.

********

The next morning, Eva was woken up by the sound of her familiar ringtone next to her. Groaning and grumbling under her breath, she wondered why the people didn't let her sleep. With sleep weighing her down, she rumbled through the bedside table and picked up her phone at the last ring.

“Hello……?” Eva's groggily answered, barely able to keep her eyes open.

“Gasp! Why do you only pick up on the last ring? Why not first or second? Don't tell me you're

    “I almost forgot to tell you this, Boss. I received a message this morning.” Shane announced as he looked at Damien.For the first time since Shane had entered the office, Damien raised his head up to look at Shane. “Tell me.” He ordered.“I received a call and some documents of ownership were sent to me this morning?” Shane stated. A deep frown appeared on Damien's face when he heard Shane. “Ownership of what?” He asked.“A yacht.” Shane wasted no time and revealed it to Damien. “And there is no other information about the person who had bought the yacht.” Shane added on.Damien was silent for a while as he was in a deep thought. However, Shane was confused why his Boss had been silent, without anyone telling him who was behind the yacht he had his hunch that it was none other than Eva who had bought the yacht in return to the house and flowers Damien had sent to her the previous day.Shane couldn't help but secretly admire Eva's courage to go head to head with his Boss. No one ever

    “Oh my goodness, who is that beautiful woman? Who is she here to see?” One of the female students in the group of her friends whispered.“I know, right? She is so stunning. Look at her composure.” Another one whispered in support.“I wish I had a big sister like her waiting for me.” The girls gossiped as they walked past Eva to their car.Eva smirked at the comments she heard from the girls. They are still kids, so it's probably that they don't recognize her at all.Glancing at the watch again, she realized that she had been waiting for an extra five minutes and her presence was gaining too much attention which was starting to irritate her. “How long does that brat plan to stay hidden there before he comes out?” Eva mumbled silently to herself as she looked at the school gate. Eva sighted the small bench that was placed not too far from her so she made her way there and sat down while waiting for her brother. Since he had no idea that she was here, she can't blame him for keeping her

    “So, if he hadn't called you, you wouldn't have come to see me?” Lucien glared at Eva angrily. He was secretly hoping that Eva had come to check up on him because she missed him but her presence now was due to the fact that Matthew called her.Eva sighed when she heard him. “I'm sorry, I haven't reached out to you for a while now, I have just been busy handling some business.” Eva apologized, feeling guilty for ghosting Lucien for the past few months. “You are not forgiven yet.” Lucien said with a straight face, even though he could tell that Eva was extremely sincere about her apology.“Come on, don't be so hard on me and forgive this sister of yours. How about I make it up to you, hm?” Eva suggested and Lucien turned to look at her with a curious expression. “What?” He asked.“Let me take you out for lunch. I've missed eating with you.” Eva had a smile on her face. If anyone was to see Eva at the moment, they would be surprised to see her having such an expression on her way, she

    “Oh my, Lucien! How are you doing? It's been a long time since this big sister saw your cute face.” Nathalia teased as she chuckled slightly. “I'm no longer a kid so stop calling me a cute boy.” Lucien retorted back, but his response only made Nathalia laugh out loud.“You are to both me and your sister. Speaking of her, why is she in a daze? What happened to her?” Nathalia asked, switching the topic back to Eva. “I showed her the most trending news on the internet, perhaps she was shocked to see herself.” Lucien casually replied as he glanced at Eva.“Oh, that's enough for her to be in a daze." Nathalia commented.After a few more seconds of staring at the phone, Eva stretched her hand and grabbed her phone from Lucien who was surprised by his sister's swift movement. “What the hell is this?” Eva demanded from Nathalia, she was still holding Lucien's phone and staring at it intently, hoping it'd disappear the longer she looked at it.“You're back. Anyways, this image is going vira

    Eva couldn't tell the reason he was asking her that question all of a sudden but she could roughly guess the meaning of his question.“What do you mean? And what is the reason for asking such question?” Eva acted clueless about what he meant. “You know what I mean. I'm asking if you are feeling okay now after that day? Though my question is a little bit late but it's also your fault.” Lucien replied with a frown on his face. He was a little bit embarrassed that he was just asking the question now, plus he didn't want to mention that he was talking about her failed wedding day.Eva smiled when she looked at Lucien, she knew that it took him a lot of courage to ask her this question because he was being causious that he would reopen her healing wounds.“Oh my, are you worried about me?” Eva asked with a teasing smile plastered on her face.“You bet! Why would I be worried about you? I only asked that because I was just curious seeing how you're smiling from ear to ear.” Lucien quickly

    “Come on, you know what I mean. You seem to be making plans with them earlier to hang out, which I hope I didn't ruin by the way?” Eva asked.“Don't you think that question is a little bit too late. Besides I never planned to hangout with them in the first place.” Lucien replied which made Eva smirk at his comment.“Then that means I have you all to myself today.” Eva smiled cheekly at Lucien.“Don't do that.” Lucien rolled his eyes and looked away from Eva. “You're no fun sometimes….” Eva pouted her mouth as she leaned back on the chair. “That reminds me, I heard that you went to a blind date?” Lucien inquired as he looked back at Eva who was still sulking.“Ah, about that…..I did. How did you come to know about that?” Eva peered at Lucien.“Did you think my mother was going to keep her mouth shut after she finally had the chance to hook you up with someone?” Lucien replied, but his voice was lazed with sacarsm. One could tell by the expression on his face that, Lucien wasn't close

    However, he was expecting too much from the lady because her next words made him realized that it was useless trying to think that she was an understanding person.“Wow, the guts you have to tell such bullshit! Well, since you are very much aware of the fact that I don't use any other private room except for this one, it would be very best for you to go inside now and tell to evacuate the room this instance. Moreover, if you know that you can't carry out this simple order and task of mine, get me your restaurant manager. I will have you fired on this spot due to the fact that you're very incompetent at doing your job to satisfy a customer.” The lady adamantly refused to comply with the waiter's request. Instead, she tried to threaten the waiter with his job so that he would do what ever she wants.The waiter glanced at her with surprise, even though he was doing his job and duty perfectly that was not an enough excuse if the manager shows up here. If the manager comes, he would be the

    Even Lucien had to secretly glup when he saw the expression on Eva's face, he hadn't seen his sister like this in a very long time which made the feeling new to him in some ways. “Ma'am, I apologize for the inconveniences but this guest of ours is very hard to please. I know this sounds pretentious but please be understanding of my current situation.” The waiter had no other choice but to plead with Eva at the moment.“Not only does this sound pretentious but it is very pretentious. You know what?” Eva asked, making the waiter look at her attentively.“I will try my best and act like I didn't just hear any of what you had just said. Also, I have no intention to leave this room for anybody unless I'm done with my business in this room. So your VIP guest can go and use the other private room for all that I care.” Eva stated in a dry tone, after she made sure that the anger burning within her was already calm a little bit. She was trying her best not to lash out on the waiter because th

    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. "Despite your messy appearance, you carry yourself with grace. Your posture, ev

    Eva jumped in alarm, spinning around to find a young girl sitting on a hospital bed. The room was filled with vases of flowers, their cloying fragrance filling the air. The child, no older than fourteen or fifteen years old, looked at her with wide, innocent eyes, her long hair framing her delicate face.Eva blinked in surprise, her anger momentarily forgotten as she stared at the young child. Somehow she felt something about this girl resembling a boy she used to know. “Hello.”“What's your name, child?" She asked, just as the footsteps outside became louder.The girl smiled faintly. “You’re running from people.” she said nugging at the door.Eva's brows furrowed. “Yes, I am.”. “Quick! Look for her before Boss gets upstairs!”The sound of the bodyguards’ voices rang in the hallway, getting closer. Panic flooded Eva's chest. She scanned the room frantically, looking for a way out, but the space was small, and the windows were sealed shut.She turned back to the girl, her pulse racing

    Eva who was moments away from hitting him with the IV pole again when his pitiful plea caught her attention. “You can tell your boss to rot in hell—” she started, but the man cut her off.“Please, Lady Boss!” he cried, desperation in his voice. “I have a wife, kids, and a family to feed—”Eva's brow twitched at his words. Of course, he definitely wouldn't be a monk like his boss, however, she had a feeling he was saying this to make her feel guilty. “And you have a dog too, I bet?” she quipped sarcastically.His eyes widened in shock. “Y-yes! Exactly! His name is Chase!”She grit her teeth in annoyance, snatching the phone from his shaking hands. “What do you want?” she demanded, her patience wearing thin. She could guess that he was trying to stall time until he got here but she wasn't planning to let him meet her here.The bodyguards flinched in fear. They truly applauded her for her boldness, but they also feared for the poor woman's head! It would really fly if she continued talk

    Turning back to the bodyguards, she picked up the IV pole and tested its weight in her hands. It was lighter than she expected, perfect for swift strikes. She had a lot of experience fighting with wooden sticks in her days in the military.Her gaze landed back to the men, a dark scowl on her face.“I’m sure everyone of you all heard the conversation,” she said coolly, her voice steady. “If you value your limbs, step aside.”The men stood their ground, but the unease in their expressions was clear.When reinforcements arrived to block the entrance entirely, Eva's lips curled into a dark smile. They’ve made a mistake.Gripping the pole tightly, her eyes blazing with determination as she scanned the men creating a barrier at the entrance.“Fine, you've all made your choices. Let's see who’s leaving with bruises.”Eva's grip on the metal IV pole tightened as she positioned herself to strike. Her eyes locked on the bodyguards standing in her way, each one ready to brace for her next move

    She sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose in exasperation. If they were working for Damien, they wouldn’t stand insults against him. She smirked, deciding to bait them.“Fine. Is it your unbelievably stubborn, hideously jealous, and completely insufferable boss, Damien Cross?”One of the guards instinctively stiffened, muttering, “Our boss is not—” and immediately cut himself off, his face paling. He can't believe he just fell for that trick.“Aha!” Eva said triumphantly. “We have our catch. So it is Damien.”Smirking, she stalked back to her bed, grabbing her phone. She dialed Damien’s number, and unsurprisingly, he answered on the first ring.“Evs, you should be resting—”“Young man, tell your men to step aside,” she interrupted, her tone sharp.Damien frowned when he heard her. Asking him to order his men to step aside meant that she had gotten out of bed!His voice hardened. “What are you doing out of bed? Get back to bed right-”“You’re not the Boss of me. I’m not goi

    **********The soft rustle of fabric accompanied the nurse as she finished adjusting Eva's bandages. Moments later, a team of doctors shuffled into the room, meticulously checking her vitals and updating her chart. Their scrutiny felt endless, but Eva's irritation wasn’t aimed at them—it was at the glaring absence of Gabriel.Upon inquiring, she discovered he’d been reassigned and replaced with another doctor, a woman.Her lips twisted in a knowing smile. Damien. Of course, it was him.She sighed at the thought. Gabriel was probably one the best doctors in his department at Solace Hospital. Replacing him with someone else, especially out of jealousy, was as unnecessary as it was predictable. Damien's overprotectiveness knew no bounds, even though her blind date with Gabriel had been a complete dead end.‘Typical overbearing Damien Cross.’After the doctors left, Eva found herself sinking into boredom. The day dragged on, and as the sun set, casting long shadows across the pristine roo

    “Who is the person? Is it someone I know?" “No, you don't." Oliver's eyes narrowed. “You said the person is important? Like… a woman?”Damien was surprised by Oliver's question as he turned to look at the boy. She? It suddenly hit Damien at the moment that he probably still had some of Eva's floral feminine scent on him and Oliver's dog nose already smelled it.“It is a woman, right? Why is she at the hospital?” Oliver continues to question.Damien sighed. “Yes.”“Why was she hurt?” “Because she’s clumsy,” Damien replied, his patience wearing thin.Oliver's questions continued unabated until Damien zhot him a sharp glare. “Enough, Oliver. Go back inside. I have work and can't answer all your questions.”“But-" Oliver was about to protest but he couldn't anymore when Damien shot him another glare.“Alright, Big Boss...I'll stop asking questions…" There was no other expression on Oliver's face than the expression that made him look like a neglected child yearning for his mother's lov

    A faint smirk played at the corner of Damien's lips. The answer didn’t surprise him in the slightest. Velvet Vipers was infamous for managing low-level gangs to handle their dirty work—robbery, intimidation, and petty abductions. While they weren’t a significant threat to someone like Damien, their audacity to target his woman made them a problem that needed eliminating.Eric, already anticipating his boss’s next move, pulled out his phone to contact the necessary people. Damien stood, slipping on his coat as he prepared to leave. His work here was done for now.Just as he turned toward the exit, he noticed Oliver sulking in the corner, his hands gripping the knife tightly as he muttered under his breath.Damien approached the young man and rested a hand on his head. “You did well,” he said simply before walking towards the room exit. He didn't need to see the expression on his face for he already knew Oliver would be brimming with joy.As expected, Oliver's face lit up instantly, his

    Eric immediately set up a chair for his boss, and Damien sat down, crossing one leg over the other. He leaned back, his expression a cold mask of control.“Then let’s begin.”“Why did you and your men target my woman?” Damien asked, his voice calm but laced with deadly intent.The man’s trembling intensified as he stuttered, “W-we were hired… Just told to rough her up, n-not kill her!”“Who hired you?” Damien’s tone darkened. He wasn't sure if the person behind what happened to Eva was one of his enemies and rivals. Maybe they found out about Eva and tried to use her against him.“I-I don’t know…” the man sammered, his words faltering under Damien's piercing glare.Wrong answer.Damien frowned, the subtle movement sending a ripple of terror through the room. Oliver’s grin faded, replaced by a cold, sinister expression. He turned his sharp gaze toward the prisoner, who whimpered at the realization that he had failed.The dim, flickering light overhead cast sinister shadows across the ro
