Matt's frown deepened, as he became restless. Mia is making him feel repulsed. His skin is prickling with the sensation of being creeped out. Mia's dishevelled hair, her scary red brimmed eyes, her unkempt clothes, everything is making him feel like, he is looking at an insane woman. He understood that she will do anything for Damien.
That realisation only made their situation worse. They are not rich and influential like Mia. She can play any tune and people will applaud for her nonetheless. Even after her false claims about her involvement with Damien, most of her fans are raging at Damien for cheating their favourite supermodel.
They don't want to look at proofs or search for the truth. They are led by their blind love for Mia. They love her so much that they are refusing to believe that she might be lying.
Even if she decides to kill all three of them now, no one will point their fingers towards her. And there are no witnesses to reveal
Mia looked at Eva with a mysterious look that is difficult to interpret. "No, that will not do Eva. You have to go. I want to marry Damien. At this point, I cannot let you whisk him away. My reputation and my career depend on that. You are ready to die, but are you ready to sacrifice your family?" Mia asked. Now her tone is not mocking or angry. It sounded like she is discussing business. Eva's eyes widened when she heard Mia. "Sacrifice my family? What do you mean?" she demanded angrily. Matt on the other hand doesn't want his sister to listen to whatever Mia is talking. He understood what Mia is doing. She trying to scare them and push his sister away from his brother in law. She is not going to stop with her blackmailing until Eva agrees to her 'terms'. "Sis, don't listen to her. She will not stop until you agree to her stupid terms. Don't engage with her. Let's go home. She cannot do anything" Matt tried to assure his sister.
Damien found George Smith standing outside the hotel where he is staying temporarily. 'What is so important that Mr Smith wanted to talk to me privately? Is it related to Mia? I am sure he must have heard about everything. He must be worried about Eva. I am sure he is here to confirm about the news. Or is he here to warn me to stay away from Eva? Even if he did, what can I say or do? A father would be worried about his daughter's life if he heard that his son in law is having an affair with another woman. I will clarify that my love and loyalty only belongs to Eva and no one else. That should ease his worry a little ' Damien thought. "Sir, come on in. We can sit inside the coffee shop and talk. I mean, if you don't mind" Damien invited George politely. George looked around them and noticed several media people pointing their lenses in their direction. "I don't think a coffee shop would stop them from recording everything. Can we talk in your roo
"You know? But, how? " Damien asked. It's not possible for George to trust Damien, Because they met just last night. Not even 24 hours have passed, and it's not enough time to understand and trust a person so deeply. Before this, both the men never met each other personally. George might have known about Damien because he is Eva's husband. But even then it's not possible to know about a person's personality and nature by watching them from afar. 'So he must have found out from someone that Mia is lying. Who is it? ' Damien wondered? "Someone told you that Mia is lying, isn't it?" Damien guessed. George nodded his head to confirm Damien's statement. Damien frowned. 'So I am correct. Who is it? ' He thought. "If you don't mind, may I know from whom you heard that from?" he asked George. George looked at Damien with a grave expression. 'You wanted to destroy my daughter's happiness. Now I have come here to re
Damien left Maple valley to take care of Mia. The media personal's who came especially for him left the town as well. The once quiet town became quiet again. Everything came back to its normal self. The much talked about Harman wedding is done and the townspeople are now talking about Damien and Mia. "Do you think Billionaire Mr Bishop has an affair with that model?" one of the woman's who came to the supermarket for grocery shopping began to gossip with her friend. Eva, who came to buy groceries froze on the spot when she heard Damien's name. It's been one week since Damien left Maple valley. She thought he would come searching for her to her father's house. She prepared herself to reject him and demand for a divorce, even though that's the last thing she wanted to do.But that's the only thing that would protect her family from Mia. She thought she could see him one last time and save his memories in her heart. But to her disappointment, she hear
"Ouch..." Eva hissed with pain. Blood is oozing from her index finger, as the thorn from the rose stems she is holding grazed her finger accidentally. "What happened?" Matt asked with a concerned frown. He is unloading the flower bundles from the delivery truck they just received. "Nothing" Eva tried to brush it off. But Matt is too attentive to let it go easily. He gently placed the red rose bundle on the table and walked towards his sister. Eva tried to hide her hand, but he already noticed the drop of blood that dripped from her finger onto the glass counter. "Sis, hiding your palm doesn't reduce the pain. Here, let me clean it up for you" he said, before retrieving a first aid kit from a drawer. Eva sighed and let her brother clean the wound, before dressing it up with a band-aid. "Nowadays you are distracted" he said softly. Eva turned her face away from her brother to hide her tears. But Matt noticed her moist eyes
As soon as Eva heard Nancy's words, she became pale. She is not scared for herself, but she is scared for her father and brother. 'I need to do something. I have to pretend as if I don't know what she is talking about ' Eva thought "What are you talking about? Who is Evangeline? I am Angelina Smith. I know you must be bored and this must be your way to pass time, By playing pranks on others. But I am busy. You should go find someone else for these kinds of things" Eva said and pretended as if she is bored by this conversation. She began to arrange the flowers and tried to ignore Nancy. But it's impossible to ignore someone who just threatened to make your worst fear come to life. Nancy smirked. "Tsk tsk, using the outdated techniques are we now?" Nancy mocked Eva. She is undeterred by Eva's words. She came to cause trouble, and she is determined to do that. Eva's shoulders stiffened at her words. But she didn'
Eva is shocked to hear Nancy's words. She never thought a person's jealousy could make them do these kinds of things. 'What is my mistake here? What have I done? Why am I the only person to get on the bad side of everyone? Why is my fate so horrible?' Eva thought sadly. "Nancy, this is not fair. I haven't done anything bad to you personally. But still, I was always on the receiving end of your hatred. And now this. Please, Nancy, let's stop this here. I have always tried to stay away from you and your family. I never did anything intentionally. But still, you hate me for the things I haven't realized I am a part of. Please, Nancy, don't do this. Please" Eva begged. She did everything to protect her family. She decided to leave Damien so that Mia would leave them alone. Even though that's the last thing she wanted to do, she still did it. Now after everything she did, Nancy is threatening to expose her identity again. 'Will this ever stop?' Eva t
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
