Zach had been staring out the window when he saw Evelyn walk up to a tree acting suspiciously. He watched as she took something white out of her pocket and threw it under the tree. The folds between his brows tightened as suspicion grew in his heart. What the hell was she doing? Curiosity filled him as his gaze lingered on the white thing on the ground. Taking out his phone, he called Rogers. “Check what Evelyn has thrown under the tree in the backyard and bring it to me, now.” He instructed the moment Rogers picked up and cut the call soon after. Rogers came into his office a few minutes later with a folded handkerchief and placed it on Zach’s desk. Zach stared at it for hours without touching it. He then told Rogers to call Evelyn so that he could confront her. If she was working as a spy, he wouldn’t hesitate to put a bullet in her chest. But what surprised him was Evelyn appeared to be calm despite seeing the handkerchief on his desk. There were no signs of nervousness o
The day of the drug trade had arrived. Evelyn had been antsy the whole night, waiting for Zach to leave for the operation. She didn’t sleep a wink, waiting for the break of dawn. If everything goes well, she would be able to go back home and see Damian. So naturally, she was both excited and scared. Zach had kept her under surveillance after the handkerchief incident, she could barely breathe or go to the toilet comfortably. At first, she was worried he had caught on to something but he did nothing extraordinary so she figured he was just being his overly cautious self. A knock on the door made her jerk up from the bed and look at it. Her heart began to race involuntarily. She frowned, wondering who could be knocking at that time. Since she locked the door, she stood up and went to open it and was surprised to find Lisa at the door. What did she want this early? “Can I help you?” Evelyn asked, looking confused. Lisa rolled her eyes and folded her arms haughtily. “The mas
Damian spent two days preparing for the ambush on Zach’s territory. He had reached out to one of Zach’s men and given him a lump sum of money to bribe him and bring him on his side. It wasn’t hard to make him betray Zach. Zach had never been generous money-wise to his men. The man was successfully tempted and agreed to disable the traps around Zach’s mansion on the day of the attack and he did not disappoint. Damian walked past the traps with ease, leading his hundreds of men into Zach’s mansion. Zach’s men were caught off guard and killed instantly. They never expected anyone to infiltrate the mansion so they were unprepared. When he walked into the mansion, his men took down the rest of Zach’s men but the man he wanted taken care of was nowhere in sight. He could tell that Zach had escaped like the coward he was. But he had no time to worry about him as Evelyn had already run into his arms. He had to comfort her after the scare she had suffered earlier. Holding her in his
Zach was at his wit's end. He had gone back to his mansion but found it surrounded by Damian’s men so he had no choice but to stay in hiding. He could only flee into Damian’s territory as there was something he wanted to do before he left the Country. And that was killing one Evelyn Johnson. Evelyn dared to set him up and if he didn't make her pay, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace if he ended up being killed by Damian. He had to take revenge or else he would suffer a loss. If he was going down, he would take her down with him and make Damian suffer the pain of losing a loved one. Zach proceeded to Evelyn’s former home. He wore a black hoodie to hide his face since he was in Damian’s territory and didn’t want to be spotted. When he arrived at the house, he took out his gun and walked into the yard. He was oblivious to the several pairs of eyes lurking in the dark, watching his every move. He was about to burst the door open and keep Evelyn’s uncle hostage to threaten Evely
A sigh escaped Evelyn's lips as she sat sprawled out on a couch in Damian's office, bored to death. Weeks had flown by in a pleasant blur. Things between Damian and her were getting better with each day. The only problem is, he was too busy. Sometimes he would disappear without so much as a word to Evelyn. Then he would come back covered in bruises and claim that even though he got rid of Zach, they were still people messing around with drugs. He told her it would be difficult to get rid of all of them. They would always arise as that is human nature. But he would be there to root them out every time. Tonight was no different, Damian had received a call from one of his men and now, he was busy cocking his guns at his desk, ready to leave for the next operation. He raised his head to give Evelyn a glance, he saw how she had her arms crossed over her chest and a pout on her mouth. Putting his pistol on the desk, he walked over to the couch and sat on the edge, looking down at
Evelyn and Nina sauntered into the women's clothing shop. Seeing how pricey the clothes were, Evelyn hesitated. Nina had a good eye when choosing clothes but she had expensive taste. The last thing Evelyn wanted to do was splurge on someone else’s account. "I think we should check other stores." She said to Nina who was happily picking dresses for her. "Why? This store has the best quality of clothes.” “But… I don’t want to waste Damian’s money. Everything is too expensive here.” Evelyn replied. “Damian gave you his limitless card, meaning you can spend as much as you want. He will feel bad if you refuse to spend his money." Nina said and picked a pair of blue jean shorts and a peach lace crop top. "Here, try this on. You have a lovely tiny waist, I believe this can look good on you." She pushed the two pieces of clothes into Evelyn's hands and pushed her towards the fitting room. Sighing, Evelyn reluctantly changed into the clothes but she had difficulty buttoning up t
Many years ago, Raymond Ressler and his best friend Noah Johnson were prosecutors at a private law firm. Together they worked hard to put criminals behind bars. Noah in particular didn't tolerate injustice. To him, no one was above the law. If a case was brought to him, it didn't matter if it was a congressman who had committed a crime. He would always do his best to ensure justice was served. However, there were certain individuals who thought they were above the law. Those who belonged to the crime group called the Mafia. These people committed crimes, and conducted illegal businesses but were still left to roam around freely because they were deemed dangerous. Noah thought it was ridiculous for a country governed by law to be ruled by criminals in secret. So when a client went to him with a case involving the Mafia, he put his all into it. Noah was threatened so many times to stop digging into issues that didn't concern him but he was stubborn and stood firm in his belief.
"I'll be out for two weeks. Make sure our rivals don't find out. The last thing we want is greedy people coming after the empire when I'm away." Damian said to Jack as they drove back to the club after completing another mission. "Don't worry, I'll keep the empire safe. You can trust me on that." Jack responded. He was referring to the territory. If their rivals knew that their leader was gone, they would start an uprising. Even though they both knew their men wouldn't betray them by pledging allegiance to the other Mafia, they still had to be careful. Not everyone has the willpower to withstand harsh torture methods. They would end up surrendering in no time and it would be difficult for Damian to take back control of his territory from the enemy's clutches so they had to keep his absence a secret. "Mmmm." Damian hummed a reply. He crossed his arms over his chest and laid his head back in the seat, thinking about his kitten. He couldn't help but wonder. What was she doing n
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
