Just like he promised, Damien dropped Eva near her apartment building. Eva ran inside and locked herself inside the safety of her room.
"What just happened? I asked for a one-night stand. But I got him instead. I will surely never drink again" she thought.
She showered and changed her clothes from last night. Her panties are missing, thanks to that beast of a man who tore them off her body. She quickly brushed her hair and dashed off towards her first class, which is about to start in 5 minutes. Her friend has an early class today, that must be the reason why she is not waiting for her by the door and demanding what exactly happened last night.
The day passed by slower than Eva wanted to. Her body is sore and she can feel her muscles protest with every single move. Every time her muscles ache, there is a tingling sensation between her legs, despite her core being sore.
After the day ended, just like she expected Cassy was waiting for her as soon as she stepped inside her apartment.
"What the hell Eva? Where were you? I was so worried for you. Do you know who that man is? Don't tell me you lost your virginity last night. Say something, why are you standing there like a statue? I was pacing all night with worry and you didn't even think of calling me and telling me that you are fine. I asked around the pub and found out his name and identity. But none of his friends are willing to tell me his address. Did he hurt you? What happened last night?" Cassy bombarded Eva with so many questions, that Eva was not given a second in between to answer at least one of them.
"Now stop and breath for a second" Eva muttered and plopped on the couch tiredly.
Cassy sat beside Eva and looked at her expectantly.
Eva sighed and shared everything that happened last night with her friend. She intentionally left out their intimate details. After she finished telling everything, Cassy is speechless.
"Cass, you are scaring me," Eva said when Cassy remained too quiet for comfort.
Cassy looked at Eva with an anxious expression.
"Eva, you don't even know his name. But you went and called him gay and provoked him to sleep with you. And he did, damn why won't he? He is a powerful and dominant man for God's sake. These kinds of men are always up for a challenge. If you challenge them, there is no way they will back down" Cassy began to mutter almost absently. Like she is talking to herself and not to Eva.
Eva is shocked to hear that the guy is not powerful and rich. She thought he must be an average businessman. By the amount of confidence coming off of him, it's obvious he is powerful. She never felt this much power even in the presence of her father. Her father is a businessman who belongs to a Yoke family. He is rich and powerful in his own right. But not like this. She was in shock this morning and she couldn't think straight and assumed he is just a rich man. But now she knows differently.
Cassy is not done, she was still talking to herself. But what she said next made Eva's heart pound louder and faster with fear.
"His name is Xavier and he is a friend of your brother-in-law Damien," Cassy said.
Slowly Eva turned towards Cassy with wide anxious eyes.
"Cass?" She said and the fear in that one word made Cassy stop talking and turn towards her best friend.
"What?" She asked with barely contained frustration.
"He is my brother-in-law's friend?" Eva asked with a panic-filled voice.
Cassy sighed feeling bad for Eva.
"He is" she confirmed.
Eva is now shaking with fear.
"How sure are you Cass?" Eva asked, her mouth is now as dry as a desert.
Cassy is feeling anxious and she is worried for Eva.
"Last night your brother-in-law was supposed to come to that same pub. Three of his friends were waiting for him in the VIP area. And Xavier, your one-night stand is one of them. I inquired around and found out that it's their usual. They always come to this pub once a month to cool off" Cassy revealed what she gathered from the patrons in the pub last night. But sadly none of them know where Xavier lives. So she couldn't warn Eva.
Tears are now streaming down Eva's cheek.
"If my father finds out about this, then he will kill me. Rose will taunt me as long as I am alive. Jake will take this and use it to continue fooling around after our marriage. I made everything worst" Eva whispered sadly.
Cassy placed a reassuring hand on Eva's shoulder.
"Eva, all this will happen if it gets to your father. But what if it doesn't? You said you didn't share any of your details with him last night. So he might never find out you are Jake's fiancee. Relax" Cassy tried to assure Eva, but even she can find a hundred loopholes in her theory.
Eva shook her head in denial.
"They will all come to the engagement ceremony next month. Damien and Rose's engagement is also on the same day. There is not a chance that Xavier wouldn't see and recognize me then and there. He is my brother-in-law's best friend. He will definitely share this with him. Rose always tells me how much my brother-in-law loves and pampers her. There is no way he will hide this from Rose. Everything will come crashing down as soon as she finds out. What did I land myself into, Cass? I am scared" Eva confessed with fear.
Like the best friend that she is, Cassy decided to stay by her best friend's side in every odds that she faces. If this escalates, she knows she has to feel the heat as well. But she cannot leave her best friend when she needs her the most.
"Don't worry Eva, we will try to find a way out of this" she said trying to assure Eva.
In a massive glass building, which is tall and looks quite stylish and expensive, a man is walking from the front door. Everyone is moving out of his way and their heads are bowed down in submission. The raw power coming of this man is like the heat coming off of the sun when the sun is near. Five people three men and two women are speed walking behind him so that they could catch up to his long strides. "Sir, your friends are waiting for you in your cabin" one of the women named Stacy informed the man politely. Damien's eyes narrowed when he heard the words his assistant told him just now. 'I just met them last night, what is so important is that they came to visit me so early today?' he thought. But he kept his face blank and didn't let anything show on his face. The only way his assistant knows that the boss heard her words is the single nod he gave her. "You have a meeting with the new client at 10 am" his other assista
Eva and Cassy were walking towards their next class the next day. Eva is on the edge and she is feeling restless. She is scared that her father might find out about her one night stand with none other than her brother-in-laws best friend. She is scared that he might find it as a blow to his reputation and beat her or even disown her. Cassy is feeling bad for her friend. She wanted to help her to come out of this trouble. Neither of them knows that it's the same pub that Damien Bishop comes every month to. If they know they wouldn't have stepped inside it ever. Just then, an idea came to Cassy's mind. "Eva, you said he was nice to you the next morning, and he even dropped you off near the apartment. So if you explain your situation to him and plead with him not to tell anyone, he might consider it. No one would want to create trouble for you if you ask them nicely" Cassy said. 'Except my family and Jake, no one usually mess with me if I smi
Damien stood on the last step of the staircase and watched Eva, who has her back to him. Her scent is intoxicating and all he wants to do right now is to tear her clothes and have his way with her. But he clenched his fists and remembered that she is Jake's intended.Eva slowly turned to face the man and squeaked when she saw he is standing there in just a towel wrapped around his waist. Her eyes lingered a second too long on his muscles. She particularly caught the nail marks on his torso, which look fresh. She understood who gave those marks to him.She became red and flustered and turned away from him. Her face is hot and her nipples became hard.'Oh dear moon goddess, why am I reacting so strongly to this man? Focus Eva, focus' she scolded herself.Damien is amused by her reaction. A smile tugged at his lips and his feet carried him closer to where she is standing. He saw the Hickey's he left on her neck the other night. Instantly he became possessive
"That contract is wrong in so many ways," Damien said angrily.Eva frowned at his statement. Everything he said is true. But she cannot change a thing. Her father decided her fate, and she cannot go against him. She never did."That's not the point here" she defended.Damien raised his eyebrows."Is it? Then what is?" he asked looking at her intently.He wants to know why she came here in the first place. He should have asked that the moment he saw her in the middle of the living area. But her alluring scent made him lose his mind. It's still affecting him, but her tears are the only thing that is anchoring him so that he wouldn't pounce on her like the beast that he is."You are my brother in laws friend..." She began to explain, but he cut her off in the middle."Would be" he muttered.Eva looked at him with confusion."What?" She asked."I am not your brother in ... I mean, He is not your brother-in-law yet. He
It's been two days since Eva met Xavier. She often found herself smiling when she remembers their interaction. If she had a chance to choose a man for herself, she would go for someone like Xavier. Considerate, caring, and handsome. Let's not forget about the chemistry they share. "Let's go" Jake muttered with irritation, snapping Eva out of her daydreams. Like always, Jake insisted that he would pick her up from her college and she didn't have any other option but to agree to his demands. If she didn't, he would go and complain about her to her father. For as long as she could remember, she is vying for her father's love and affection. That's the only reason why she always agrees to everything he demands from her. She is hopeful that one day he might notice that she is a good daughter who never troubled him and begin to love her like he loves her sister Rose. So she silently endures everything, Jake throws her way. Eva folded hersel
Damien is stunned to find his Angel running blindly with tears in her eyes and three men chasing after her. If it's not for his driver who stopped the car in time, she would have been dead by now. He got out of the car and discarded his jacket. Slowly he walked to where his Angel is still lying on the ground struggling to get on her feet.The three men are now standing a few feet away from her and one of them stepped forward to take her away with them. But before that drunkard could touch his Angel, Damien punched him hard on his cheek. He fell a few feet away and didn't get up again. The other two looked at Damien's figure with fear and uncertainty. With the headlights glowing so brightly, Damien is sure they cannot see who he is.Their liquid courage must be driving them. Because The other two tried to lunge at him at once, but Damien moved out of the way of one man and kicked the other. Both of them stumbled oo their feet and tried to rush him again, but this
The next morning, Eva woke up feeling sore all over her body. But this time, it's because of the nasty fall and all the running she did to escape from Jake's friends."Hmm" she moaned with discomfort, immediately alerting Damien.His eyes snapped open and he looked at his angel who has her head laid on his naked chest."Angel? Are you alright?" he asked with concern.She mumbled something inaudible. Her eyes are still closed, but he noticed that her body is burning up. He placed his palm on her forehead to feel her temperature. Like he suspected, she has a high fever."Angel, you are burning up," he said, but he didn't receive any response from her. He looked at the time at noticed that it's still early, It's 4 am.He called his family doctor to come to the Bishop residency to look at Eva. After half an hour, one of the guards near the gate led the doctor inside the house. The doctor named William is shocked to find a woman lying on hi
Eva is confused."What fever. I don't have a fever, I am fine" she pointed out.Damien sighed."Since Last night you had a high fever. You are still under medication. You need to rest" he insisted.Eva frowned. Apart from her wounds, she is feeling fine."But Xavier, I have a class at 8o clock. I can't miss it. Can you please drop me home?" she requested.Damien is amused now."You mean, you had a class this morning?" he teased her.That's when everything began to click into place."It's really 6 in the evening?" She asked with her eyes wide.He nodded his head with amusement."I slept the whole day?" She asked as panic began to bubble inside her.He didn't like the worried look on her face. Damien erased the distance between them in two long strides and gently turned her head so that she is looking at him."What are you worried about?" he asked her gently."I didn't t
