Just like Nancy threatened, everyone in the town came to know that Evangeline is the Evangeline Yoke and the girl who was sold to Francesca by none other than George smith. Everyone began to gossip and come up with different stories as to why George must have sold her. They didn't spare Evangeline either. They began to talk badly about her character.
'George Smith sold his own daughter? Oh my dear God, why would he do such a thing?'
'I heard about people selling girl children for money. I never thought innocent-looking George Smith would be one among them'
'George actually sold his own daughter for money?'
'I have known him for a very long time. I saw how his wife suffered. He asked for money when she was admitted to the hospital. I think he must have done that when he was out of options '
'How can anyone sell their own children?'
'I think his wife's illness is a front to sell his daughter for money
'We should
On the other hand, even George is receiving the same treatment. No matter where ever he went, people are taunting and made nasty comments on him. He went to deliver a flowers order in the town next to Maple Valley. The news of Evangeline being his daughter and how he sold her spread faster than he thought possible. Even the people in the next town are looking at him as if he is a criminal. "Hey look, it's the George Smith. The shameless man who sold his own daughter for money" a woman pointed out loudly. George parked his car in front of the house where he is supposed to deliver the roses. He was unloading the flowers when he heard that dreadful comment. That comment garnered the attention of the nearby people and they began to gather around to look at George properly. The man who ordered the flowers came out of his house to help George. But as soon as he heard the commotion, he stopped in his tracks to see what the fuss is all about.&nb
Eva and Matt closed the shop for the day after the men tried to molest Eva. She was shocked and couldn't come out of her shock even after she sat on the couch inside the safety of their house. "Sis, drink some water" Matt offered her a bottle of cool water. She accepted it but didn't proceed to open the cap and take a sip from the bottle. Everything that happened that morning is still fresh in her mind. She was scared and thought she might have to hurt someone to protect herself. But thankfully Matt came at the right time and protected like the protective brother that he is. Matt looked at his sister worriedly. He cannot find fault with her behaviour. What she has gone through is a nightmare for every woman. He tightened his fists and tried to control his anger. Everything is happening because of Nancy Harman. 'That bi*ch' he cursed under his breath. He always knew that she is spoiled beyond belief. But he never thought she would f
Eva collapsed on the floor as soon as she saw her father's dead body. Matt is in a state of shock and confusion. 'He was fine this morning. How can he do this to us ?' he thought as his eyes began to get moist. He began to recollect their happy moments together. How his father became his teacher and taught him how to ride a bike. How he learned to make his first flower bouquet, his birthday dinners together with his mother and father. As his mind recollected every moment he spent with his parents, his heart began to get heavy with grief. His eyes began to water and tears began to stream down his cheeks. He broke down and collapsed beside Eva, and began to cry like a little boy. Eva on the other hand is consumed with guilt and grief. 'It's me, I killed him. If I never stepped my cursed foot into their lives, then he would have been alive. It's me because of whom Nancy did this. If not for me, then my father would have been still alive. I
Damien is stressed. He never faced a situation like this in his life. But he is a master manipulator and smart. He faced so many difficult challenges in his life. Every time he faced them head-on and won as well. This time it is personal. He has to solve this mystery for his angel. He didn't want anyone to think about Eva badly. If she comes back, people will call her as a home wreck, even though she is his legal wife. Mia is claiming as if she is pregnant with his child. Media and the netizens are demanding him to marry her. If he brings Eva back, they would demand her to divorce him, so that he could marry Mia because she is pregnant. Already they all are blaming Eva for leaving him during a crisis. No one knows who her parents are, but they think that she is no longer eligible to remain Damien's wife. As she is not a yoke, she is not considered his equal to be his partner. They think Mia is his equal in every way. So everyone is vying for him t
Eva looked at her brother, who is sleeping on the couch. She wiped away the tears that refused to stop since the moment she began to accept the reality of her life. She is crying for the father whom she lost as soon as she found him. She is crying thinking about the unfairness of life. She never harmed anyone intentionally. But life was always unfair when it came to her. She is cursing herself for being the reason for her father's death. As soon as Matt mentioned Damien's name, the shock of losing her father began to wear off, leaving her feeling empty. That's when she understood that Damien is her anchor. 'He is better off without me. But how can I live without him?' She thought thinking about Damien. The tears began to slowly roll down her cheeks for being the bad omen in her father's life. 'I am sorry Matt. You were happy without me. But I ruined everything for you. I should be gone. I am a bad omen. I will only bring bad luck to you. Have a
Eva is printing the copies for a meeting that is going to start in half an hour. It's been two weeks since she started her new job in a new city, far away from her previous life. She pushed her thick-framed glasses over her nose. She is not the old Eva people recognise easily. Now she concealed her identity by hiding behind glasses which she doesn't need. Her loose ill-fitting clothes conceal her true figure. She tied her hair into a tight bun. Her straight white teeth now has unflattering braces. She hid her milky white face behind dark make-up. "Angela? Are you done? The new CEO who acquired our company is coming to meet all the employees. Come on, make it quick. He doesn't appreciate tardiness" Natasha De cruise, Eva's immediate boss said in a rushed tone. As soon as she reached this city, she saw an ad about a company hiring new staff for the company it acquired recently. Eva checked in a cheap motel and applied for the job. After two days and three rounds of int
Natasha welcomed her boss with a flower bouquet. Which Patrick accepted on behalf of Damien."Welcome sir" Natasha and the other employees who came to welcome Damien said in union. Damien just nodded his head and walked inside, forcing everyone to follow behind him.As soon as Damien stepped inside the building, his heart began to beat faster. As if someone he loves is close by. His breathing picked up and his eye brows furrowed."What is this strange feeling? What is happening to me' he thought. But soon he composed himself and walked towards the elevators, as if his heart is not telling him to walk faster.Patrick noticed the slight change in Damien. No one could identify the change, but as Patrick is Damien's best friend, he noticed it.Once they are standing inside the elevator, Patrick gave Damien a questioning look. But Damien shook his head and brushed it off. After that, they became busy with meetings all throughout the day."S
"Miss de cruise said she is sending her assistant with the files. The assistant will help you with anything you want. I will go look into other things we need to deal with in here" Patrick told Damien before leaving his cabin. Damien sat behind his desk. He looked at his mobile phone and tapped on the screen. Eva's face is displayed on the screen. She is smiling widely. She is looking at something on her right. It's clear that Damien captured this picture when she is not aware that someone is taking a picture of her. "I miss you angel" he whispered looking at the picture. Just then a knock came from the other side of the cabin. Damien turned away from the door and faced the wall to ceiling glass window behind him. He is trying to hide his emotional state from whoever is asking his permission to enter. "Come in" he said after clearing his throat.Unaware of the fact that her fate is about to change, Eva stepped inside the bright illu
