Robert and Patrick looked at Jake with a sneer. They looked back at Damien who is now standing with his back facing them and looking outside through the glass wall behind his desk.
"I thought you would kill him" Patrick commented.
"I wanted to kill him too. But just like my angel pointed out, he is not worth it" Damien replied, trying to control his anger over the fact that, Jake tried to hurt her.
Patrick nodded his head in understanding. Damien knows his friends well enough to know that, they must have understood what Evangeline is to him. He too realized that she is his and there is nothing he wouldn't do for her. She is going to be a Bishop soon, Mrs Damien Bishop.
"So what are you planning next? We need to cancel your wedding with Rose and Evangeline's wedding with Jake. I heard Watson wanted to announce your engagement with Rose tonight. If he did that, then everything will become official. The media will have a field day if we cancel the wedding af
"Slap......"A harsh slap resonated all around the Yoke Mansion, mere minutes before the beginning of the party."Dad?" Rose gasped with shock, holding her throbbing cheek.Watson Yoke is furious. He wanted to announce his daughter's engagement with Damien Bishop tonight. By doing so, he wanted to divert the attention of the public and the media away from his company towards the engagement of the most eligible bachelor Damien Bishop. But to his bad luck, his daughter ruined his plans. The pictures sitting in his mailbox are proof of how worst the situation could go.Someone is blackmailing him for 1 million dollars and they are threatening to leak those pictures to the media. No father should see his daughter making out with a stranger. But he had that terrible fate of looking at those horrible pictures.Now he had to postpone his plans and he had to keep his mouth shut about that announcement."Shut up" Watson roared at hi
Eva slowly walked inside the Yoke mansion with slow hesitant steps. She never had good memories in this mansion and the last two times when she came here, she was kicked out once and she barely escaped from Rose's wrath the other time.Eva is looking beautiful in her dark red dress, minimal makeup, and red lipstick. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, and the ends are teased into curls. The yoke mansion is tastefully decorated with special shimmery drapes and some interesting flower patterns near the entrance. There is a red carpet laid in front of the entrance to welcome the guests. By the sheer number of cars parked outside, she can tell that the party is already in full swing.On the other hand, Cassy is wearing a baby pink body con dress, with a high neck. The dress is sleeveless and hugs her curves perfectly. She too pulled her hair up into a high ponytail. She is looking beautiful in her own right.Eva's palms are sweating with nervousness. She n
Damien's face is a blank mask. He is not letting anything show on his face. To everyone standing around him, he is calm and composed. But he is anything but calm. The look of pure betrayal and hurt which is evident on his angel's face is like a stab at his heart. He wanted to tell her that it's not his intention to hide the truth from her. It's just that, she assumed that he is Xavier and he let her. He couldn't let her get more worried thinking that her one-night stand is none other than Damien himself."Hello Evangeline" he greeted her in a deep voice. It's not the tone he uses with her. Whenever he is in her presence, warmth seeps into his words, and his face is never the same blank mask.Eva is having a hard time controlling her tears. Her eyes are burning and she is trying hard enough not to burst out into tears. She wanted to hit him and hurt him and demand him to explain why he did what he did. But her father is standing beside her, waiting for her to gree
Eva tried to push him away, but he is not budging. She has her palms firmly placed on his chest and she is trying with all her might to push him away. Apart of her wanted to give in and let him hug her one last time. But her mind knows better. This is wrong in every way. "Let me go, Xavier," she said trying to push him away. Her eyes began to well up again, and tears began to stream down her cheeks. Tears of bittersweet memories, tears of regret and sadness. "Never," he said firmly and even tightened his hold around her waist to make it a point. "Xavier" she pleaded in between her tears. If it's any other case, he would have let her go. Because he doesn't want to hurt her more. But now, she is hurting because of him and he cannot leave her alone. "No" he refused softly. She broke down into sobs again. She remembered everything he has done for her so far. He never forced her against her will. He was always there for her when she n
Eva is still reeling from shock. She never thought Jake would charm even Rose. After Eva came out of her shock, she noticed that Damien is hugging her. No matter what Rose did, this is still bad. So she pushed him away, catching him off guard. She ran away from there before he could come after her.She directly ran towards the parking lot and dialed Cassy to come out. Together they left the Yoke mansion. Cassy kept looking at Eva, every now and then. Eva is still shocked about everything that happened at the party tonight.After reaching their apartment, without saying a word to Cassy, Eva locked herself inside her room. Cassy tried to talk with Eva, but in vain. Eva is not in a mood to talk to anyone right now. She cannot still digest the fact that Xavier is Damien. Like an idiot, she kept running into him again and again.Eva is now scared.'What if my father finds out about this? How will Rose react when she comes to know about this? Oh dea
Rose is furious. She was always worried about Eva seducing Damien. That's why she made sure to keep her away from him. She made sure that could meet personally. But last week when she saw the cold and calculating Damien hugging Eva with so much love and affection, Rose became shocked and Jealous. "I know I made a mistake by keeping an affair with Jake. But I wanted the love you have for Eva. I want you to bend backward to please me. I want to control you and the entire Bishop fortune. I want every other woman in the world to feel jealous looking at my good fortune. I want everything to be the best in my life. And you are one of the best. You are a cut above them all. And I want you. But that will only be possible if Eva is out of the picture. And I will make sure she is gone permanently" Rose slammed her palm angrily onto the mirror. It broke into several pieces. Her room is a mess of broken vases, mirror pieces, ruined bedding, and everything. She cannot share
Eva is hurt after she found out that Cassy hid the truth from her. But Cassy explained to her why she had to hide it. Firstly, it was between Damien and Eva. Cassy cannot involve in their personal issue. And secondly, Damien doesn't want Cassy to tell anything to Eva just yet. So she kept quiet when she found his concern for Eva genuine. Cassy is not wrong. Damien truly cares for her. But nothing matters now. He is who he is and she is who she is. They can never have anything together. Not even the tentative friendship they began. Eva shivered when she remembered his words from that night. 'Let me go Xavier' 'Never ' His blatant refusal to let her go and his possessive hold around her body is something she cannot forget. He was holding her as if he is holding his most valuable possession. Eva thought that after his true identity is revealed, he would now stop meeting her until and unless it is very important. But little did she know that he would show
Neither Cassy nor Eva noticed the black van slowly passing by them. Nor did they notice few people lurking by the streets in black clothes, watching both of them closely. One of them pressed some keys on his mobile and dialed someone. "They just entered the block. There are two women. Which one do you want us to kidnap" he asked in a dark tone. He is tall with a mustache and a nicely trimmed beard. Looking at him, no one can guess that he will kidnap people for ransom. He is looking like a regular guy, who works 8 to 5 jobs and relaxes in his home with a bear in the evenings. His name is Bran and he is a local bikers gang leader, who maintains a gang of 45 members. He does all these illegal things for money. But as a person, he is not as worst as Rose and Jake. This is his chosen profession to earn money. So when he got an offer from a rich and useless man, he agreed because it's good money. These rich people will waste money like they was
