Eva and Matt closed the shop for the day after the men tried to molest Eva. She was shocked and couldn't come out of her shock even after she sat on the couch inside the safety of their house.
"Sis, drink some water" Matt offered her a bottle of cool water.
She accepted it but didn't proceed to open the cap and take a sip from the bottle. Everything that happened that morning is still fresh in her mind. She was scared and thought she might have to hurt someone to protect herself. But thankfully Matt came at the right time and protected like the protective brother that he is.
Matt looked at his sister worriedly. He cannot find fault with her behaviour. What she has gone through is a nightmare for every woman. He tightened his fists and tried to control his anger. Everything is happening because of Nancy Harman.
'That bi*ch' he cursed under his breath.
He always knew that she is spoiled beyond belief. But he never thought she would f
Eva collapsed on the floor as soon as she saw her father's dead body. Matt is in a state of shock and confusion. 'He was fine this morning. How can he do this to us ?' he thought as his eyes began to get moist. He began to recollect their happy moments together. How his father became his teacher and taught him how to ride a bike. How he learned to make his first flower bouquet, his birthday dinners together with his mother and father. As his mind recollected every moment he spent with his parents, his heart began to get heavy with grief. His eyes began to water and tears began to stream down his cheeks. He broke down and collapsed beside Eva, and began to cry like a little boy. Eva on the other hand is consumed with guilt and grief. 'It's me, I killed him. If I never stepped my cursed foot into their lives, then he would have been alive. It's me because of whom Nancy did this. If not for me, then my father would have been still alive. I
Damien is stressed. He never faced a situation like this in his life. But he is a master manipulator and smart. He faced so many difficult challenges in his life. Every time he faced them head-on and won as well. This time it is personal. He has to solve this mystery for his angel. He didn't want anyone to think about Eva badly. If she comes back, people will call her as a home wreck, even though she is his legal wife. Mia is claiming as if she is pregnant with his child. Media and the netizens are demanding him to marry her. If he brings Eva back, they would demand her to divorce him, so that he could marry Mia because she is pregnant. Already they all are blaming Eva for leaving him during a crisis. No one knows who her parents are, but they think that she is no longer eligible to remain Damien's wife. As she is not a yoke, she is not considered his equal to be his partner. They think Mia is his equal in every way. So everyone is vying for him t
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
