Thank you for reading.
After leaving the ice cream shop, Damian took Evelyn to a jewelry shop. His eyes scanned the different necklaces on display and they suddenly landed on a blue sapphire which immediately caught his attention. He thought, for a fact, it would look good on his little pet. Signaling to the seller secretly… he arranged with him to have it sent to his address. After making the payment, his brows furrowed, he was confused by his own actions. When did he become so soft and even bought gifts for a woman? His eyes landed on Evelyn who was busy gawking at the diamond rings inside the display glass cabinet and he knew why. Her. She was changing him. Because of her, he could openly flirt and talk more than he usually would. She was like the sun illuminating light into his dark life. Walking over to her, he leaned next to her ear and whispered. “Let’s go. Or do you want me to buy you a ring?” Evelyn jumped in alarm, feeling startled. But his words rang loudly in her head. “No… why would
Three days later. Damian had received a report that some drug dealers were sneaking drugs into City A. He had briefly left Evelyn at the club to deal with the situation. City A was his territory. Damian was determined to wipe out every drug dealer that was tainting the City. His dream was to have a drug-free City. He hated drugs and that was why whenever he heard of such a case, he would personally lead the mission to catch the dealers and punish them accordingly. He believed those who went against his rules and still dealt with drugs deserved to be punished severely and imprisoned for the rest of their life. After dealing with the drug dealer who refused to speak about the person backing him, Damian and Jack were ready to go back to the club. Damian suddenly recalled that he was supposed to take Evelyn for a candlelight dinner. 'I've been so caught up with finding the drug dealer that I almost forgot about our date.' He instructed his driver, Mr. Jones. "Take me to the
Evelyn rubbed her hands together to keep warm while waiting for the driver to arrive. She kept glancing at the road to check if the cars passing by were her ride. It had taken longer than expected, she wondered if she should have waited inside the club instead. Not being able to take it anymore, she took out her phone and called Mr. Jones. "How far?" She asked the moment the call went through. "I'm so sorry Miss Evelyn. I am stuck in traffic. Looks like there's an accident ahead and it's a one-way road. Just be patient with me a little bit and I'll be there." Evelyn internally groaned in frustration. Her feet were killing her since she wasn't used to wearing such high heels. 'I better go wait in Damian's office or I'll freeze to death.' She was about to turn and head back inside when someone suddenly approached her from nowhere, making her jump in alarm. "Ahhhh!" She placed a hand on her chest in an attempt to calm down. "I'm sorry Miss. I didn't mean to startle you."
Evelyn was shaken to the core. The child’s death was not something she anticipated. Everything happened as if in slow motion. The bad man slit the child’s throat and Mike removed another gun from behind his pants and shot him in the middle of his eyebrows. “Ahhhh!” A scream tore through Evelyn’s throat. She clamped her hands over her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. This scene was all too terrifying. She just witnessed two people being killed in front of her for the first time in her life. The dangerous encounter made Evelyn jump out of her skin. She couldn’t fathom how these people could easily kill a person without remorse. After snapping out of her dazed state, she rushed to the child lying on the cold hard ground and held him in her arms. Her heart broke seeing the young promising life that was stolen away by a selfish bad man. At that moment, she regretted feeling sorry for him. ‘I should have let Damian’s men deal with him. He deserved it.’ She muttered to hers
Damian had been looking forward to the date with his kitten. After taking a shower, he went to the hall to take a final look around to make sure everything was perfect and would be to her liking. Although he didn’t realize it himself, he was working extremely hard to impress Evelyn. At the thought of Evelyn’s cute expression when she saw what he did to the place, the corners of his lips curved into a smile. The bodyguards around him shared secret looks when they saw their ruthless boss acting like a young boy in love. What frightened them the most was seeing Damian smile to himself like a fool. They had noticed the slight changes in him ever since Evelyn came into his life so they treated her with respect knowing she was special to Damian. Even though he denied it. Damian was enjoying a glass of wine when the door to the hall opened and Evelyn strode in. His heart soared but soon, his face fell when he saw how she looked. He felt his heart race, worried that something may
Evelyn felt better after pouring out her heart to Nina. After deciding to apologize to Damian, she felt better and her mood was lifted. “So, is there a hot guy that you can introduce to me?” Nina asked excitedly. Ever since she heard that Evelyn had been taken by the Mafia, she had been itching to pay her a visit and take the chance to look for her own prince charming. She wanted a boyfriend from the Mafia so much that it was all she could think about these past days. Now since Evelyn was here, she would not pass on the chance to ask her to hook her up with someone. Evelyn rolled her eyes. “They are dangerous Nina. Are you sure that’s the type of boyfriend you want?” “Yes. Bad boys are my type.” Nina squeaked. “Doesn’t Damian have a friend or a right-hand man?” Evelyn sighed. Nina was too persistent there was no way she would let her sleep if she didn’t get what she wanted. “He does. His name is Jack.” Nina jumped on the bed excitedly. “Tell me more about him. Is he handsome
Evelyn didn’t know what came over her. It was not like Damian and her were an item. Yet, she felt herself feeling extremely jealous when she saw him with another woman. A lump formed in her throat at the sight, making it hard to swallow. Seeing Damian like that unexpectedly hurt her very much. Her heart dropped and her stomach twisted painfully. To make matters worse, he didn’t stop what he was doing or acknowledge her presence. It seemed she had been reading into things a little too deeply. She wasn’t special to him. They were just bound together by a pet contract. Hence, she had no right to feel jealous or get upset. This was a fact that Evelyn knew too well and she couldn’t fathom why she felt weird in her chest. Her chest felt so heavy like a huge mountain had been pressed down on it. When she left the club, her mind was cluttered with thoughts. The scene in the office kept replaying in the forefront of her mind like a broken record. Each time she thought about it,
“Damian, we are set for tomorrow's event. I’ll make sure to identify those who are secretly trading drugs.” Jack said as he sat across from Damian in his office. There was a party the following day for the socialites in the City. But it wasn’t a simple party. On the surface, it looked like a group of people gathering to talk about charity and wealth but it was secretly some sort of a black market where illegal things were sold. Damian’s Mafia gang had gotten wind of some suspicious movements from his rivals. Not everyone was happy with his banning of drug trafficking so other Mafia were trying to overthrow his rule so they could bring drugs into his territory and make more money. As a child, Damian had to witness his father, Gerald Hill lose himself because of drugs. He had become a lost cause and ended up selling his own son to the previous Mafia boss to pay for his gambling debts. Back then, Damian would go through the trash and collect scrap metal to sell and buy food since h
Several months later after Nina and Jack’s wedding, Damian held a party for Evelyn to celebrate their fifth anniversary. Unlike their wedding, this event was grand. Damian had decided to introduce his heir, Aiden Hill, the future Mafia boss of his empire. The Country was a much safer place with most of his enemies behind bars and the streets were clean of drugs. Not entirely though but now, he had many on his side fighting for a drug-free Country to protect their loved ones. Evelyn was dolled up in a silver off-the-shoulder gown that was fitted up to the knees then the rest of the gown was flared, touching the ground. The neckline had diamond details with a plunging slit in the middle, showing a little cleavage. Her curves were hugged perfectly by the dress, painting a picture of poise and grace. As for her strawberry blond hair, it was raised up into an elegant updo held together by diamond clips that sparkled when she moved. The simple makeup she put on her face accentuated h
Four years later. “I passed the bar!” Evelyn exclaimed the moment the call went through. “Wow. Congratulations kitten. You deserve it.” Damian’s equally elated voice echoed through the phone. Evelyn had completed her studies a while ago and had to sit for bar exams for her to become a lawyer. The following weeks had been difficult for her because she was worried about her results. It was not easy for one to pass the bar. Evelyn made sure she studied hard and with the help of her husband, she was able to understand most of the cases. Although the exam hit her hard as it was harder than expected. This was why seeing her name on the list of those who made it made her feel emotional. She never thought she would pass the bar on the first try. When she thought about how far she had come, tears couldn’t help but sting her eyes. “I’m so happy Damian. I can’t believe it. It’s a dream come true.” “You worked hard my love. You just got what you worked for. I am happy for you. We shou
Evelyn’s mind was filled with curiosity as Damian carried her out of the plane bridal style. With her eyes closed, she could only rely on what her ears could pick up to try and guess her surroundings. They entered a car and it drove for about an hour or so. Damian carried her once more and she could tell they were now on a boat. The scent of the ocean coupled with the soft breeze that brushed against her skin gave her a refreshing feeling. She wasn’t scared of not being able to see where she was going because Damian was by her side. When the boat came to a stop, she felt Damian carry her again and they soon entered a warm enclosed space that she assumed was where they would be staying. “We are here my love. But, I’m not taking your blindfold off yet.” Damian whispered huskily. Evelyn felt how Damian began to undress her slowly. His hands brushed her skin ever so lightly leaving tingles in their wake and when he finally rolled her panties down her legs, she knew she was in for
When Evelyn and Damian got back together, Damian sent Sasha away to work in the territory he had just taken over. He did this to avoid problems and he didn’t want Evelyn to be uncomfortable. However, Sasha felt aggrieved. She genuinely loved Damian and hoped he would keep her as a plaything forever since she knew he never wanted to get married. He didn’t want any form of weakness in his life. But when he suddenly fell in love and decided to get married, she knew that she was wrong. It was not that Damian didn’t want to fall in love. He just couldn't love her. Jealousy bloomed in her heart when she heard Evelyn was pregnant and then later heard about the wedding while she was doing some work in Zach’s former territory. She was angry that she was cast away like she was nothing. Her place was by Damian’s side but it was stolen by Evelyn. It was supposed to be her who held the lady boss title. The things she had done for Damian... There was no way she would accept walking away em
“Congratulations Eve. You got us all worried.” Nina said to Evelyn. She was seated by her bedside while Damian was holding the baby and Jack was making peek-a-boo faces at him. Evelyn smiled weakly. “I was scared too. There I was waiting to meet my baby and then I suddenly lost consciousness.” Nina held her hand. “I’m glad you’re ok now. You should have seen Damian. He almost lost it. The man really loves you and I can tell he will make you happy. If anyone deserves happiness, it’s you.” She was referring to how Evelyn spent unpleasant years in the orphanage. She had been bullied and there was no one to protect her. When her uncle came for her, they pretended to care for her but when her cousin Mark harassed her, they turned a blind eye. “We both deserve happiness.” Evelyn remarked. The medication she had taken was making her drowsy so she found herself dozing off. Damian noticed this from a distance and approached her. “Sleep, my love. I’ll take care of Aiden.” He promis
Damian raised one of his eyebrows, wondering what Evelyn was on about. He placed her leg that he was massaging down on his lap and stared at her. “What is that supposed to mean?” He asked, bemused at her sudden question. What did she mean by what were his plans for the future? Hadn’t they discussed this already? “Just that. What are your plans?” Evelyn asked again. Her voice rose an octave higher. “Well, you do know my plans. I intend to expand my territory while you get busy with school and also to make this Country a safer place for our child.” Damian replied calmly. “So you don’t plan to marry me? How come I’m not in your plans?” Evelyn yelled, her eyes brimming. Damian was shocked, to say the least. “Where is this coming from? Who said I don’t plan to marry you?” He asked. The poor man didn't understand what was going on. “I asked what your plan was and you didn’t include me in them.” Evelyn responded, her voice shaking. Being in the third trimester, she was becoming
Months later. Nina was preparing for a date with her boyfriend Jack. Things were great for everyone in the past weeks. Evelyn and Damian were expecting so they spent most of their time away from the club and Jack took up most of the work for Damian. Today was one of the rare days that he was having a break so he asked Nina out on a date since they had not gone around much due to their lack of time. Nina was combing her red hair when her mother, Grace walked into her bedroom. “Mom, why don’t you like knocking? One day you will find I’ve sneaked a boy in here.” Nina complained while seated in front of the dressing mirror. “That’s exactly why I don’t knock. Besides, why should I knock in my own house?” Grace sauntered into the room and took the comb from her daughter’s hand and began to comb her hair which was similar to hers. “You know, when you brought that man Jack to meet us, your father wasn’t happy that you started dating so soon. I’m also afraid that I might lose you s
“Nothing you say can change anything. They are gone and you killed them.” Evelyn choked as tears stung her eyes. “And I…” A sob escaped her lips, closing her eyes. “I’m a sinner. I’ve let them down for allowing last night to happen.” Her soul was burning with guilt. She felt like she had no right to go to her parent’s grave because she didn’t stick to her promise. Damian who was seated by the edge of the bed softened his gaze and reached out his hand, stroking her hair. She didn’t dodge this time. Wouldn’t she be a hypocrite pretending like she didn’t want him to touch her? After all, she had let more than an innocent touch happen a few hours ago. “Eve, I didn’t kill your parents.” Damian’s deep gentle voice came. Evelyn thought he was just trying to make her feel better so she didn’t bother to look at him and just continued to beat herself up. “I didn’t even know who your parents are. It was only last night when you mentioned it in your sleep that I decided to investigate
Damian glanced down at Evelyn who lay in his arms, sleeping peacefully. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead, his expression softening. The fire that had erupted between them during their hot session was still vivid in his mind. She still wanted him. Physically at least, she still had feelings for him. That was enough to give him hope. He could win her love back they just needed to talk and sort whatever problem they had out. Damian massaged his temples thinking women were really strange. It was hard to read them. Imagine someone just starts throwing tantrums without explaining their reason for it and expecting you to guess? He was willing to do anything for her as long she stayed with him. Now that he had calmed down and emptied his blue balls, he had a sound mind and could think properly. When he went through Evelyn’s medical files he saw that the pregnancy was eight weeks old. He remembered it was the period after they had Zach locked up in jail. They couldn’t keep
