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
Eva glared at Mia. This is the woman who made Eva almost ruin her own married life by creating misunderstandings between Eva and Damien. Like the fool she is, she fell for the deceiving tricks of Mia and ran away from the man who loves her more than himself. "I am pregnant with Damien's baby. What do you think I should do? In this situation, you should divorce Damien, so that I could marry him and give a father to our child. Don't you think?" Mia asked with a smug smile. Mia is testing if Eva realised that she is lying or not. She is prepared for both scenarios. Eva shook her head. "Stop acting will you? What do you want? You tried to kill me? So that means you are desperate. Are you even pregnant Mia? Even if you are, then I am sure the father is not Damien. So you are trying to kill me now? Do you think Damien would let it go so easily? He will hunt you down to the ends of the world and he will not rest until you are dead. Even if you kill me,
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
