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
Eva is sitting on the cheap motel bed with her legs folded. She is still staying in a motel room, as she doesn't have enough money to rent a small apartment yet. So she rented a room in a motel near her office building until she could gather the money she needed to rent a small apartment for herself. But now, she is not sure about staying in this city any longer. After she demanded about what he wanted with her, Damien remained quiet as if he is lost in thoughts. Eva took that opportunity and pulled herself away from him. She ran out of his cabin and out of the building. She thought Damien would come after her. But so far nothing like that has happened. She is hoping that he would leave her alone. "I wanted to leave from this place. I want to find a place where no one recognises me. But my savings are almost gone. If I leave from this place now, I have to beg on the streets" Eva thought out loud. She worried her lower lip. "Why should I leave now? Dam
"Sir, c...can I help you with anything?" Eva tried to be polite and composed. She is pretending as if she doesn't know who Damien is. But she couldn't hide the panic that seeped through her voice. The stutter in her question is showing how scared she is. She thought Damien wouldn't bother her anymore. But his blatant display of authority is something she didn't expect. She thought he is done with her. But she should have known nothing is as simple as it seems with Damien. All the employees are giving the couple their complete attention now. Everyone has the same confused look on their faces. Women are jealous as well. They cannot understand how a handsome man like Damien Bishop could touch an ugly looking woman like Eva. As soon as Patrick heard the voice of Eva, he found it familiar. If Damien didn't inform him that this woman is Eva, he never could have found that out on his own. He has to appreciate Eva for her talent. She concealed her identity perfectly. Her ugl
Damien led Eva towards his cabin. He wrapped his hand around her waist and led her away from the other employees, who are all shocked.Eva stayed silent and let him guide her towards his cabin. He already has done enough and she is not willing to create another scene in front of the others by protesting. She wanted to deal with Damien in private.Damien is hiding his amused smile at the stiffness of her shoulders. She is walking like a military Marshall. Her body is stiff and her face is a mask of anger. He knows she is going to fight with him as soon as they reach the safety of his cabin.The other employees are looking at the retreating backs of the couple with shock and fear. Most of them are shocked. But a few employees who have thrown nasty comments at Eva daily are scared. Now that they know who she is, they are scared that she might fire them for being cruel towards her.On the other hand, Eva pushed Damien's hand away and moved away from him as so
Eva woke up feeling light. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings with a frown. She is lying on a huge bed, which is soft and comfortable. She is wrapped in a black coloured comforter.The room itself is bathed with soft lighting. There are two doors on to her right and another one on her left. The walls are painted with grey colour, peppered with black here and there. The room is huge and lavish.Before she could question herself about where she is, the unique male scent of Damien wafted from the sheets, tingling her senses. She immediately understood where she is. She remembered what happened in his cabin. Sadness overwhelmed her when she thought about her father.She composed herself before she could break down into tears again.'I should leave' she thought.Damien's words kept repeating in her head.'You. Are. Mine' Eva began to panic when she remembered Damien's possessive declarati
Eva twisted the handle a few more times, but it's obvious that the door is locked. Her face twisted with anger. She turned back and glared at Damien. "What the hell is this Damien? Unlock the doir now" she demanded angrily. Damien shook his head. "No" he replied calmly. Eva frowned. "What do you mean by no? You cannot keep me here forever. You have to let me go. I am not a prisoner" she demanded angrily. Damien smiled looking at her cute face, which turned red with anger. "Of course angel, you are not a prisoner. You are my wife. So your place is beside me. You will stay where ever I stay" he explained his intention of locking her in. What Damien said is true. But not entirely. He would have never done this if she is not so adamant about running away from everyone. He wants to stop her and make her realise that she is wrong. Eva on the other hand understood why Damien locked the doors. She knows him better than
