“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

    The loud sound caused both Eva and Lucien to turn their attention to the direction of the sound, and to their dismay four young ladies walked into the room followed by the waiter behinds them.“Ma'am, this is wrong, you can't do this -” “Shut up!” The lady in red dress yelled at the waiter, causing him to swallow back the rest of his words.“You ladies seem to have entered the wrong room, please take your leave.” Eva remark without bothering to spare them a glance. She had already anticipated this kind of situation before hand when the waiter left the room. She was already guessing that the VIP guests that the waiter was talking about would cause some problem after she refused to leave the room.“It turns out that you are a woman after all. However, I came into the right room.” The lady in red dress uttered. She was quite taken by surprise when she saw that the guest in the room was a woman, plus she was a beautiful jaw-dropping woman at that.“What business do you have here, then?”

    The lady blinked for a couple of seconds when she heard Eva's question. “W-what is that supposed to mean? I asked you to leave this room because this is the room I normally use. You are just a mere customer that came to eat here for just one day where I am a VIP guest, so I presume to have more right to request you to leave at this instant!” She was already irked enough due to how Eva had ignored her earlier, the lady couldn't control her anger anymore and barked furiously at Eva as she looked down on her.Thankfully the room was sound proof. If not, the other customers in the other private rooms would have heard her loud voice.Eva wasn't fazed at all by the yell from the lady as she still maintained her blank and calm expression on her face. “Since you claimed to be a VIP guest, then I guess I have no other choice but to agree with you on that.” Eva calmly responded.“That's right, you should have-” One of the ladies behind was about to utter something, however she was suddenly inte

    “You despicable little brat. I only have your mother to blame because she had failed her duties to properly educate you which is the reason behind why you lack good manners. But I'll make you understand that there are severe consequences for your utterances." The lady declared angrily.“You're right, my mother might have failed in her duties to raise me but my sister over here did a good job taking care of me.” Lucien retorted back with a calm look.“Then, this sister of yours has done a terrible job. How dare a brat like you talk back to an adult?” The lady yelled before shifting her attention to Eva."It turns out your brother has inherited your sharp tongue and that would eventually cause his downfall in the future if you don't stop him now, but I doubt you would because it seems like it would be of no use." The lady claimed as she eyed Eva with a disgusted look."He is just a child, I thought you would be a bigger person and not take his words too personal." Eva replied in a nonch

    The dim candlelight cast a golden glow over the elegantly set dining table. A soft melody played in the background, filling the room with warmth. Christine had spent hours preparing this—his favorite dishes, the finest wine. Tonight had to be perfect.She glanced at the clock anxiously. Mark would be home soon. And she had to fix this.The front door finally opened, and Mark stepped inside. His face was tired, his eyes dark with frustration. He didn’t even glance at the romantic dinner she had prepared. Instead, he sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair.“Christine, what is this?” His voice was cold.Christine swallowed and stepped toward him. “A dinner. For us.”Mark scoffed, shaking his head. “A dinner? Christine, do you have any idea what I’ve been dealing with? My father’s furious. Investors are backing out after the Harper Luxuries. I've lost of funds.” His voice grew sharper, filled with exhaustion. “And do you know what people are whispering? That my own fiancée might

    The silence between them was thick with unspoken thoughts, but Damien wasn’t one to leave things unresolved. He turned slightly, his piercing gaze fixed on her.“Why didn’t you ask for my help?” His voice was calm but held an edge of something deeper—something close to frustration.Eva, who had been absentmindedly tracing the rim of her wine glass, glanced at him. A small smirk curled her lips, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Because it was something I could handle,” she said simply. “Like always.”Damien’s expression remained unreadable, but his fingers curled slightly against his knee. “And if you couldn’t?”Eva shrugged. “Then I would have asked. But it wasn’t time for that yet.”That answer didn’t satisfy him. He exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple. “Eva—”“I know what you’re going to say,” she interrupted, meeting his gaze head-on. “You think I should have let you take care of it. But Damien, I don’t always need you to fight my battles. Sometimes, I want to win them on my own

    Eva sat on the couch, feeling bored. The scandal had caused too much noise, and going home—where the paparazzi were undoubtedly lurking—was out of the question.With a sigh, Eva reached for her phone and scrolled through her contacts. Her finger hovered over Damien for a moment before she pressed the call button.The phone rang twice before his deep, smooth voice came through. “Eva.”Just her name. Nothing more. But there was something in the way he said it—low, controlled, yet sharp with attention—that made her exhale slowly.“Hey,” she murmured, leaning against the plush headboard.Silence. Then, “What’s wrong?”She almost smiled. He always saw through her.“I can’t go home,” she admitted, rubbing her temple. “The reporters are camped outside. And after today’s interview… they’ll only get worse.”Damien didn’t answer immediately. She could hear the faint rustling of papers, the click of a pen, before he finally spoke. “Where are you?”“Penthouse suite at the Grand Royale,” she repli

    ---A few days later, Eva made a rare yet calculated appearance on a live talk show—The Spotlight with Emily Lopez, one of the most-watched entertainment programs in the country. Coincidentally, it was also a show that frequently collaborated with Rachel Grant, the journalist behind the scandalous article.As the cameras rolled, the studio audience buzzed with anticipation. They were expecting either a fierce defense or a dramatic meltdown. What they got instead was something entirely different.Emily Lopez, the charismatic host, smiled warmly as Eva took her seat. “Eva, it’s a pleasure to have you here.”Eva crossed her legs gracefully, offering a poised smile. “Thank you for having me.”Emily wasted no time. “Let’s address the elephant in the room. There’s been a lot of talk about you recently, especially after that article. I have to ask—what’s your response to the claims about your alleged manipulations in the industry?”Eva’s expression remained calm, almost amused. She leaned ba

    Eva lounged in the living room of her hotel suite, one leg crossed over the other, casually munching on chips as she scrolled through the latest article on her phone. The bold headline blared across the screen:"The Truth About Eva: Manipulation, Power Plays, and Industry Secrets."A slow, amused smile curved on her lips as she read through the carefully crafted insinuations. Lies twisted with half-truths, designed to cast doubt on her success. Predictable.She let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head. Did they really think this would break her? Just as she was about to scroll further, the door burst open.“What the hell is this?!” Trix’s voice filled the room as she stormed in, holding up her phone.Gwen followed closely behind, her expression a mix of concern and frustration. “Eva, this isn’t funny! Someone is trying to ruin you.”Eva looked up lazily, still smiling. “I know.”Trix gaped at her. “You know?! And you’re just sitting here smiling? Eva, this article is everywhere—peopl

    Christine paced in her luxurious bedroom, her perfectly manicured nails tapping against her phone screen as she scrolled through the latest headlines. Every article seemed to be about Eva—her growing success, her latest campaign, the public's admiration. Christine’s jaw clenched in frustration. She needed to shift the narrative. With a deep breath, she dialed Tanya’s number. It rang twice before Tanya’s voice came through, smooth and professional. "Christine, what is it? It’s late." Christine rolled her eyes. "Since when do you care about the time? Listen, I need you to set up a meeting with a journalist—someone discreet but influential. Someone who can shape a story the way I want it." Tanya hesitated. "What kind of story are we talking about?" Christine smirked, settling onto her chaise lounge. "Something… damning. Something that makes Eva look less like the perfect little star everyone thinks she is. We don’t need lies—just a little exaggeration, a shift in perspective. Got i

Every brand connected to Harper Luxuries is distancing themselves. She’s lost all credibility.” Trix smirked. “Mark isn’t doing any better. His name is being dragged through the mud for backing a sinking company. There are even rumors his family is furious at him for making such a reckless investment.”
