"I asked you a question Mia. What are doing here? Who gave you my room keys? Get out of here right now" Damien demanded angrily.
Damien was expecting Evangeline. But Mia showed up. This would be the worst time for Eva to show up and look at him like this. He is just wrapping a towel around his body and Mia is looking at him with her eyes filled with seduction.
Mia smiled coyly at Damien's outburst. She is looking at his wet body, beading with water droplets. His tight muscles are flexing when ever he moved. He is looking like a Greek God who came straight out of heaven.
"Why so angry Dami? You need to relax a little" Mia said and slowly walked towards him.
She used his nickname to remind him that she is his childhood friend. Only she calls him Dami. He used to like her nickname when they were kids. But as they grow up, that name sounded childish. So she asked her never to call him that. And more over his late mother never liked that name either.
The hotel manager is shaking with fear. He recognises the woman who is currently sitting on the floor holding her dress with embarrassment. People around them are snapping pictures of Mia, who's back is wide open as the zipper of her dress is undone. As she is a super model, everyone knows who she is. And everyone knows who Damien Bishop is. No one dares to snap pictures of him, as everyone are aware of his reputation as a ruthless man. But Mia is entirely another story though. As she is a model and she is currently half naked, people are falling all over themselves to snap pictures of her. Mia is embarrassed and trying hard to keep her tears at bay. She always heard that Damien is cold and utterly emotionless. But this is the first time she is witnessing it herself. She heard he would not spare the people who dares to cross him. But being a woman and his childhood friend, she thought she could get away with these kinds of things. But she is wrong. She underestimated
The next morning, Maple Valley, a small town which most of the population in the country never heard about, became a overnight sensation. Mia's humiliation is the only thing everyone is talking about. They are all curious about why she went to a town named Maple Valley and who the guy is who pushed her out of his room. They couldn't help wonder about how strong his will is, that he rejected a willing super model. The people who know about the guy and who are scared to share his name on social media began to gossip. Slowly the word began to spread like wild fire through word of mouth, that Damien Bishop is the man who pushed Mia Bridget out of his room. Everyone who thought that he might forget his wife who went missing half a year ago and move on with Mia were left in shock. Now the Harman's wedding is not the thing that people in Maple Valley are talking about any more. They are whispering about who Damien Bishop is and why he came to their town. After findi
"Are you going to that wedding?" Robert asked Damien. Robert, Patrick and Damien are talking in a conference video call. After the fiasco last night, none of them expected it to escalate into something that would attract the media attention so fast. They guessed it will be all over the news the next day, as it involves Mia, who is a super model. But never imagined that one incident will attract the media's attention so fast, that this small town would became so popular over Night. "I have to. If I don't, then everyone will start searching for answers as to why I came here in the first place. That will bring us back to square one" Damien said with an irritated frown. Both Robert and Patrick nodded their heads. "I don't know how she found out about Eva, but I never thought she can be this vicious " Patrick muttered indicating Mia. "Ya, tell me about it" Damien muttered. All three of them know Mia since their childhood. They grew up
Eva is surprised to see so many reporters swarming in front of the country club, demanding to let them enter inside. But the guards stationed outside the gates are ignoring their demands, and are only letting the guests enter the venue. Each guest has to carry their invitations so that it could be served as an entry pass as well.Eva began to panic.'What if they recognize me?' She began to get worried. But the thick tinted windows made her sigh with relief.'Thank God. I don't think they can see through this tint' She assured herself."I forgot my invitation" Eva informed the driver, who is driving the car.The driver looked at her through the rare view mirror and gave her a gentle smile. His name is James. He is a middle-aged man who is also an acquaintance of her father George. He is gentle with a kind smile and soft assuring eyes. Her father once told her that James is been working for the Harman's for a very long time. He is
Damien turned out the noise of the Harman woman, who is going on and on about how good he is. His eyes are fixed on the entrance, anxiously waiting for Eva. He caught sight of her, as she stepped out of a car. His breath caught in his lungs, at the mere sight of her. She is wearing a dark navy blue dress, that is studded with stones on the bodice. It is hugging her figure until her waist and flared down and reached until her knees. Her hair is blowing in the breeze, occasionally teasing her face. Her pink lips are lush and full. Her stone-studded heels are making her soft, toned legs look longer than usual. "Excuse me" he muttered and walked away from his unwanted companion, towards his wife. Eva caught of Damien as soon as she walked inside the venue. She noticed Nancy Harman talking to him, and his face is showing his distaste towards her. Her breath caught in her throat, at the mere sight of him. He is looking as handsome as ever in his navy blue tux
Eva could feel Damien's eyes on her throughout the wedding. She began to feel uncomfortable after some time. So she decided to leave as soon as the bride and groom exchange their vows. Just as the bride said 'I do' everyone began to clap their hands to cheer the newlyweds. Eva slipped away from the venue unnoticed. She know she cannot avoid Damien for longer. He tried to talk to her more than once, but she ignored him every time. There is nothing she wanted to hear from him, and she is done with him. After Mia confirmed their affair, there is no use talking to him. She will file for a divorce as soon as she can. With that thought in mind, Eva walked away from the venue. On the other hand, Nancy Harman was observing Damien and Eva the whole time. The more she observed, the clearer she became. "So Angelina is Evangeline Yoke" she understood. Nancy hated Eva since the day she saw the latter the very first time. Eva is exceptionally beautifu
Eva sneaked out of the venue, carefully avoiding the media who are still milling outside. As she doesn't have a car with her, she is forced to walk back or use public transport. She can call her brother to come pick her up, but she is not ready to face anyone just yet. Her heart is still raw from the bruises of betrayal, and she wants to have some time alone. She needs to clear her head before she could declare her intention to divorce Damien. She kept remembering their time together. Everything he did for her, every sweet gesture, every time he protected her. He was always thoughtful and considerate. He never did anything which would hurt her in the future. Even their marriage, which he forced upon her is his way to protect her from everyone, including herself. Even though she realised later, his intention was never bad. These past six months away from, she realised she loves Damien Bishop. She can never forget him, no matter whatever he did. She is stil
Damien came out empty-handed in his quest of searching for Eva near the venue. He gave up his search and decided to go check on her near her home. He needs to talk to her before it's too late. With that intention in mind, he walked away from the venue, towards the parking lot. On the other hand, Matt and George who came to attend the wedding noticed that Eva is leaving. So they decided to follow behind her so that she can cool down a little and think for herself. But when Matt saw a speeding truck going directly towards his twin sister, he ran towards her. "Eva, move" he began to yell so that he could attract her attention. Eva is startled when she heard Matt's voice. She looked up and saw him running towards her with panic written all over his face. He is looking at something behind her. She frowned and turned her head. Her eyes widened as she noticed a huge truck, which is only a few meters away from her. She is so shocked, that she forgot to
After five years... "Uncle Matt" little Elena called her uncle excitedly. Matt looked at his cute little niece fondly and sat on his knees to match her height. "What is it my sweet little Elena" he asked feigning an equally excited voice. Elena ran towards her uncle closely followed by an annoyed Adrian. Matt hugged her and kissed her head lovingly. "See what my dada gifted me for my fifth birthday" she pointed towards a small pony which is suitable for her age. Matt looked at the pony with a grin. "Damn, your dada is something else" he let out with a grin. Elena looked at Matt with her eyes wide open. "Uncle Matt, you just used a bad word" she whispered as if it's a big sin. Matt shook his head and kissed her on her chubby cheek and chuckled. "Sorry, my dear. Uncle Matt will never repeat that again" he promised. Elena nodded her little head with approval. "Elena, uncl
After Damien and Matt heard the doctor's words, they both jumped up and down with joy like little kids. They ignored the curious looks of the people around them. "Congratulations Brother in law. I am so happy for you both. You both are going to become parents " Matt gave Damien a bear hug. Damien returned the gesture with a broad grin on his face. "Thank you, Matt, and congratulations to you too. You are going to become an uncle as well" Damien said happily. Matt and Damien laughed with barely contained excitement. Soon they both became sad when they thought about Eva. "This should be the happiest moment of your life. You are supposed to share this happiness with my sister. But now.." he stopped abruptly. His eyes tingled with tears and his throat closed up. Damien nodded his head and turned away from Matt. His eyes became moist with sadness. Both the men returned to their seats outside the hospital room, waiting for
"The day she leaves me is the day of Damien Xavier Bishop's date of death" Damien declared firmly. Everyone standing inside the hospital room are left with shock. After his declaration, no one dared to utter a single word of protest. The doctors quietly left the room, leaving only Robert, Patrick, Alexander and Damien. Alexander looked at his son sadly. Robert and Patrick looked worried for their friend. They can see where this is going. The doctors are confident that she might never recover. That means Damien will forever be this way. Sitting beside her bedside with a vacant expression in his eyes. Damien quietly sat on the chair he was sitting early. He ignored the others in the room. He held Eva's cold palm with his warm one. He is looking at her face with a heavy heart. "These people think that you are More. But I know better. You would come back for me, don't you? You will not let me take my life, will you? You know I cannot live without you" he
Alexander took a deep breath before unfolding himself out of his car. Just like he expected, he was instantly surrounded by eager reporters. His hired bodyguards began to make way for him and he walked inside the hospital with his head held high.'Sir, how do you feel about miss Mia''Were you really drugged?''You are going to be a father at this age. How are your feelings?''You spent a night with a young and hot model. How was your experience?'Alexander planned to ignore the media, but the last question infuriated him. He stopped in his tracks and turned towards the female reporter who asked that question. He looked at her employees id and read her name out loud."Melissa turner" he acknowledged her by her name.All the other reporters pushed their microphones closer to Alexander and were eagerly waiting for his reaction."Miss Turner, before I answer your question, will you answer one of mine?" Alexander asked
Damien is sitting outside the ICU. Eva is lying on a bed inside the ICU. She is breathing with the help of life support. Matt is fighting for his life just like his sister. Doctors are not very hopeful about their situation. "They inhaled too much gas. It paralysed their system. We gave them the antidote to fight the effects of that poison, but so far it is not looking good. We cannot say anything until 48 hours. Let's hope for the good Mr Bishop" the good doctor said 5 hours ago. That was last night. Just like every other day, the moon has gone down and the sun is shining brightly in the sky doing its work and so does the people around him. But Damien is stuck in a trance like state. He stopped living the moment he saw his angel lying lifelessly on the staircase. He couldn't see or hear anything since then. She is the only thing that matters, and she is fighting for her life inside the ICU. By the time he rushed home, he found Matt and Eva lying on the
"Do you still think we have a future together?" his question made Mia think properly. When she was using Alexander, all she thought about was marrying Damien. She acted out of anger and frustration. She wanted to become Mrs Bishop, and she didn't think beyond that. Now his question made her think. And what she realised is not pretty. She turned to face him. Her eyes are misty. "I was in love with you since we were young. I always thought that we could marry each other and have a happy life together. But you had to sign a contract with the Yoke's. As a close family friend, I know the importance of that contract. It's an age of tradition and I thought you wouldn't break it for me. So I accepted my fate and left the county. But then I found out you married another woman whose second name is not Yoke. So I came back to see what is so special about her. But by the time I came here, she left you. I could see how much you love her. I became jealous. So I delib
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
"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
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
