Thank you for reading.
Damian awoke with a splitting headache. He felt like someone was hitting the back of his head with a hammer. He groaned, cussing himself for having drank too much at the party. He tried to lift his arm to massage his temples but it was stuck beneath something soft and warm. Turning his gaze to the side, his heartbeat began to accelerate when he saw a naked Evelyn sleeping peacefully in his arms. He widened his eyes in shock and lifted the blanket to look under it. His heart sank when he confirmed his fears. They were both naked! Explicit images from their wild night floated into his mind, making him swallow. ‘Fuck, I got so drunk and lost control.’ It wasn’t his plan to sleep with Evelyn. He wanted her to leave and find a decent man. Someone who could love her and protect her from the evil world. Guilt-ridden, he jumped out of bed like he had been burned. ‘What have I done?’ He ran his hand through his hair just as his eyes landed on the crimson stain on the white sheets.
Sasha had been excited the past few days knowing Damian had gotten rid of his pet. Even though he was cold towards her, what mattered was the woman who was a threat to her had left. It would only be a matter of time before Damian realized he needed a woman who understood his world. And when that time came, he would choose her since she had always been obedient to him and didn’t ask him to love her. She knew that a Mafia boss didn’t need phony feelings like love. What he needed was a strong partner who can not be a distraction to him. In this fact, she was confident. There was no way Damian would choose that weak woman to be his partner. If he wanted to have a wife, it would be someone like her. Someone who had survived several hardships and knew how dark and bloody the Mafia world could be. Knowing Evelyn was no longer at the club, Sasha decided to make herself more visible to Damian so that her chances of being picked as his partner could be heightened. But before she could
When Evelyn heard Damian’s voice, her heart thudded louder in her chest. She was sure she was done for. Damian defended the vicious woman a few days ago. She was afraid today was no exception. But he surprised her by telling her to be the lady boss if that’s what she wanted. The crowd around them gasped in surprise while Sasha trembled with anger. ‘Why isn’t Damian getting angry?’ Damian shoved his hands into his black pant pockets and kept his gaze on Evelyn. His heart ached seeing her eyes looking watery. His jaw clenched as anger arose in him. “Who bullied you? Tell me. I’ll kill them for you.” Sasha’s heart skipped a beat. “Damian… didn’t you hear me? She was seducing this ma-”
A few days passed. Damian was discussing some business with Jack in his office. They had managed to capture the culprits who were selling drugs at the event Damian had attended a few days ago but before they could get any useful information, those men slit their throats with razor blades. Jack paced in front of the desk. “Damian, those guys sneaking drugs into the City must be coming from Zach’s Mafia. That’s why they killed themselves.” “Mm-hm, I know,” Damian responded calmly but his eyes held a glint of calculation. “Aren’t we going to retaliate? They are tainting the City.” Jack grumbled. Damian smirked in response, “we can’t make a move so soon without concrete evidence. I’m bidding my time. If we make a move now without knowing if we have spies in our group, we might cause the death of a lot of people.” Jack nodded. What Damian said made sense. They just couldn’t attack without a plan or proof of who was responsible for trafficking drugs in their territory. “Tonight’
The moment Damian walked into the VIP lounge with Evelyn, he regretted bringing her along. He couldn’t stand the leering eyes the men in the room were giving her. Only he was allowed to look at her. He took her to a couch and sat. Enrique, known to be an amorous man did not take long to make known his interest in Evelyn. Damian kept quiet at his rude remarks only because he was holding himself back. When Enrique asked Evelyn to give him a lip service, Damian clenched his fists as anger surged within him. He felt Evelyn inch closer to him like a scared kitten and his heart instantly ached for her. He shouldn’t have brought her here. She looked so frightened and he could feel her body trembling. “Come on… everyone has exchanged partners. It’s only right that you go serve someone else right? Damian, why don’t you give your female to me? You can have mine for the night.” Damian didn’t say anything and just took a swig of his whiskey. His face betrayed nothing of his true emot
The next day, Evelyn awoke to a gnawing pain in her abdomen. She was having stomach cramps and had curled herself up into a ball on the bed while her brows knitted and beads of sweat coated her forehead. Damian came out of the shower and frowned seeing Evelyn’s state. He walked towards her and placed his palm on her forehead to check her body temperature. “What’s wrong with you?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. Evelyn clutched her stomach. “I’m having stomach cramps. They will stop soon. This is normal.” Damian’s frown intensified. ‘She clearly looks like she’s in a lot of pain, what does she mean it’s normal?’ He said in his mind. He looked over at her and saw how she was trying to hide her pain. His heart ached for her. He brushed a stray hair on her face away, tucking it behind her ear. “You don’t have to go to the club today.” Evelyn shook her head and began to sit up. “No, I want to go.” She wanted to follow Damian. She would miss him if she was separated fro
Evelyn left Damian’s house angrily and entered the cab that her uncle had come with. She was hoping Damian would go after her and tell her he was just acting but he did none of that. Reality hit her hard. To him, she was just a sex pet. She was the fool who thought it was something more and even gave herself to him. She thought there was something more between them. The way he made her feel, the way he looked at her and how passionate he was when they made love. She felt loved and cared for so she believed she was special to him. Turns out it was all just her wishful thinking. Damian had many women, why would he see her any different? Perhaps he was like that with all the other women and she was the fool who read too much into his actions. But even after he broke her heart into tiny pieces, she didn’t hate him. She couldn’t. Evelyn just felt disappointed that she was the only one invested in what she thought they had. Her uncle entered the car with a massive smile on his face
Nina had not seen Evelyn for two days straight and neither was her phone going through. She couldn’t help but get worried. She went to find Jack in his office to ask if he heard or knew anything about her whereabouts. When she walked into his office, Jack raised his head and smiled at her but seeing her worried look, he stood up from his seat and walked towards her. “What’s the matter? Why do you look so worried?” Nina looked up at him. “It’s Evelyn. When you told me her uncle had taken her, I went to look for her at her place but they told me she had gone out to look for a job. And then I tried to call her but her phone was off. Something feels off.” She said, biting her lip. Jack furrowed his brows. He was surprised when he learnt that Damian had let Evelyn go but his friend said it was for the best so he didn’t think much about it. “How about we investigate? Maybe camp at her house to see if she’s really there?” Nina’s eyes lit up at his suggestion. “That’s a good idea.
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
