Eva is nervous as hell. It's not the first time that she visited the Bishop family mansion, but this is the first time she is coming as the daughter-in-law of Alexander Bishop. She checked her makeup for the tenth time and she smoothed out her dress removing the imaginary wrinkles on the fabric.
Damien is finding all of this funny. He had never seen her this nervous before.
"You were never this nervous. Even when you came to talk to me in the beginning, you were calm and composed. But look at you now, you are a nervous jittery mess. Relax, he is the same man you met countless times before. Nothing changed" he assured her.
Eva nodded her head and gave him a small smile. They walked inside the mansion hand in hand. The mansion is bustling with maids and servants who are busy with the last moment preparations. The mansion looks spotless and fresh flowers are adorned in the vases here and there. The mouth-watering aroma of food is wafting from the dire
The night progressed with lots of smiles and laughter. All of them enjoyed the seven-course meal hosted by Alexander. Everyone complimented the chef for his talent and thanked Alexander for having them. After he decided to reveal everything to his son, Alexander is not feeling so guilty as before. He understood that this might be the last dinner with his son before the truth comes out. he is not sure how Damien would react after he reveals everything. So he tried to enjoy the dinner as much as he can. After dinner, everyone retired to the living area with their drinks in hand. Alexander decided that it is the right moment to reveal everything. "Damien, I need to talk to you about something. Let's talk in my office" Alexander said, which caught the other's attention. "Are you seriously going to discuss business right now uncle Alex?" Patrick asked with a frown. It's so out of character for Alexander to bring business in the middle of family time.
Robert, Patrick and Damien are now standing in different corners of the office room. They are still trying to comprehend everything that was revealed by Alexander just now. Not even in their wildest of dreams that they imagined this kind of twist in the events. Everyone was confused as to why the DNA matched. Damien never touched Mia but still, the baby DNA is matching with his. He was confused and so were the others. Now everything is clear. Alexander is now sitting on his desk chair, holding his head with his palms with his gaze downcast. "That explains why the baby DNA matches with yours" Robert muttered, finally breaking the heavy silence that settled over the room since Alexander finished his side of the story. "Yaa" Patrick agreed. Damien's mind is moving a mile a minute. He is the one who is the most affected by all of this. He was sure Mia was lying when she announced to the world that he is the father of her baby. He was a
"Hey baby" Mia purred.The men in the room gritted their teeth with anger. Only Damien looked unaffected, but he is like an active volcano that is ready to burst."What do you want now?" Alexander snapped at her."Tsk tsk.." She made a noise mocking Alexander.The men remained silent but angry."Oh Alex, I told you to kill that woman. But you couldn't even do that simple thing. What am I going to do with you Alex baby?" she asked with mock sweetness.Alexander is startled by her words. He looked at the others with a worried look. So Damien came to his rescue."I am sure you must have already guessed that" Damien replied with an even tone.Mia's laughter rang from the other end."You were always a smart man Damien. That's why I am obsessed with you" she praised Damien.But he didn't respond to her words."Anyway, how did you guess?" she asked trying to mask her irritation. He ignored her confession and
A few minutes before Mia called up Alexander... After the stranger left the Bishop family mansion, Eva and Matt were catching up with each other on what happened to them in the past few weeks. Eva is still holding the drink handed over to her by the stranger. She is yet to take a sip from the glass holding the orange coloured liquid. "I was so disturbed that I began to think that I am responsible for our Dad's death. I thought my bad luck might ruin your life as well, so I left. I reached a new city with a new identity and concealed my looks. But ended up working in the company owned by Damien. Despite my horrible makeup and ill-fitting clothes, he recognised me and made me realise that I am important to him" she reiterated the events that transpired after she left. Matt became emotional and hugged his sister. "I got scared, sis. You were mentally unstable after dad's death and one day you got up and left just like that. I was so worried
Matt is confused. He looked at his sister and brother in law with puzzlement. 'What is wrong with him? I thought he might get upset that Eva spilt the drink he sent for her with love. But instead, he is looking releaved that she spilt it. What happened?' he contemplated in his head. "What happened?" he inquired after a few minutes. Damien loosened his hold on Eva but didn't let her go completely. He kept her close. He is scared for her life. After he found out that Mia wanted to hurt his angel, he doesn't want to take any chances. "That drink is poisoned" he revealed, earning a gasp of shock from Eva and a concerned frown from Matt. Damien looked around the living area to see if he can find anyone or anything suspicious. He is satisfied that he found none. "What? It is poisoned? By who?" Matt voiced out the question which is plaguing Eva's mind as well. Damien gritted his teeth with anger. "Mia Bridget" he spat th
Doctor William is the Bishops family doctor for over two decades. He is in his early 50's. The grey hair peppered on his head indicates his age and experience. But the fear in his eyes is something Damien has never seen before. It's the indication he wants to confirm that the doctor is indeed a corrupted one. "It would be better if you reveal everything by yourself. You know very well how it would be if I had to make you reveal it all" Damien said coldly. Damien is sitting on the couch flanked by Robert and Patrick on either side. William is standing opposite them. He is shuffling uncomfortably from side to side. His forehead and upper lip is beaded with sweat. He is looking at Damien with fear. He never thought this would come out at all. As the given DNA matched with Damien's DNA, he thought he could cover what he did. But looking at the coldness surrounding Damien Bishop, he is scared that he might freeze to death if he doesn't agree with what
"We can use this video recording and Doctor William's statement to prove that Mia is lying" Patrick pointed out. Robert is driving the expensive limited edition car. Damien sitting in the passenger seat and Patrick occupied the seat in the back. They are driving back from the Doctor's house. The night sky is pitch black, indicating that it is a new moon day. It's 12.30 am and they are yet to figure out a way to deal with Mia. They are trying different scenarios to deal with her, but nothing is working out so far. "We can use the doctor's confession if she doesn't have a video recording of that night. The moment she releases that video, it's game over for us" Damien pointed out. Patrick grunted with frustration. "Do you think she will release the video? She will also lose face if that comes out. That will be the end of her career. I don't think she would want that to happen" Robert pointed out. Damien snorted. "She lost he
As soon as Mia heard his words, she smiled with happiness. "Why are you not angry or sad? I thought you would be fuming with anger the moment you found out that I poisoned her. But strangely you are calm and quiet. What is more shocking is that you are actually talking to me. It's a miracle" Mia shared her observation with a big grin. Damien should act more carefully now. He cannot reveal much more than he should. So he simply gave her a half-smile. Mia is not satisfied with his response. She frowned at his odd behaviour. She looked around them and found it empty and quiet. She turned back towards Damien, who is yet to look at her. "Your behaviour is odd. What is going on Damien? Are you planning something? Is that why you called me here. This place is far away from the city. No one would come here at this time. Are you planning to kill me?" she asked warily. Fear is evident in her voice and face. She was so happy when he called he
