Damien is sitting in his cabin surrounded by his PR team and his legal team. They all are watching the mess made by Watson and Miller. As the minutes are ticking by, the situation is progressing from bad to worse.
"I can't believe he restored to such cheap tactics" Nathan muttered angrily.
Everyone is looking at each other with confusion. The stock price of the Bishop corporations all over the world are crashing down fast. If they don't take any action faster, then the situation might escalate to the point where they cannot control it anymore.
"Boss, I think you should issue a public statement" one of the members of his legal team suggested quietly.
Nathan shook his head.
"It doesn't change anything. It will only make people think that our Boss is trying to save face. The video posted by Miller already got 100 million views. People are thinking that Damien bullied Aaron. And even Watson's statement about Damien betraying his elder daught
Eva woke up feeling fresh. She stretched her body with a smile on her face. She opened her eyes and sat up on the bed while rubbing her eyes. Slowly she began to get aware of her surroundings. The very first thing she noticed is that, she is naked. She pulled the comforter a little and covered her exposed torso. She turned her head and noticed that Damien is nowhere to be found. She sighed with relief. 'At least I don't have to deal with that domineering man so early in the morning' she thought. She finished her business in the bathroom and showered under the hot sprays. Instantly she felt refreshed. She dressed up quickly in a knee-length skirt and a blouse. She slowly made her way downstairs to have some breakfast. All the while she kept looking for Damien, who is nowhere to be found. 'Where is he? He left for work already?' she wondered. Eva sat at the dining table and immediately a maid came to serve her coffee and breakfast. Slowly she be
Eva is trembling with anger and shock. Cassy took pity on Eva and began to explain everything from the beginning. She explained how it escalated and began to portray Damien as a monster. "Your father is behind all this. He is making everyone believe that Mr Bishop is the bad guy here. Actually, Mr Bishop knows that he might get arrested. So he was worried that you are alone at home. That's why he sent me here to take care of you. He doesn't want you to find out about all of this and get worried. But the situation was so bad, I couldn't hide my worry and anxiety" Cassy confessed. Eva's head is reeling with shock after listening to everything. "I actually asked him to reveal the truth that you are his wife. That will actually reduce the intensity of the hatred people are directing towards him. But he refused to say that. He said that he promised you, that only you could reveal that fact whenever you feel comfortable. It's bad outside Eva. I am worried for
Eva remembered how her father always refused to recognize her existence. How he abused her every chance he got. How he let Rose beat her almost to her death. The way he decided to get her married to Jake despite knowing that he is a murderer. How he sold her to Aaron for money. And then how he ignored her health after she suffered severe trauma and injuries because of Aaron. To date, he didn't bother to ask her how she is doing. But after almost two months since the day he pushed her inside Aaron's car, he came looking for her with a plan to destroy Damien, her savior. She began to remember how Damien always protected her from everything around them. Sometimes from herself and sometimes from others. He was always protective and he loved her despite her harsh words and rude behavior towards him. He figured out that Aaron kidnapped her and ran to that island to save her. If it's not for him, she is sure she would have been dead by now. And then he began t
Eva stood there in the middle of the chaos, unable to decide what to do. There are too many people around her, and it's impossible for her to get past all of them towards Damien. But slowly everyone began to notice her presence in their midst. Everyone began to turn in her direction, with sad and pity-filled eyes. "Poor thing, how she must have suffered" "She is really pretty" "She is looking like a goddess" "She is looking much more beautiful than her sister Rose" "That must be the reason he betrayed her sister and decided to kidnap her" "Oh my God" All the attention is making Eva uncomfortable. She is feeling like an exhibit in the museum. Her flight instincts began to kick in. She wanted to run away from here as far away and as fast as she could. But something happened. Slowly all the attention she is receiving is diverted towards Damien, who is now walking out of the Bishop towers with his guards flanking behind him
Watson is watching everything from inside the safety of his car. He is waiting for Eva to move forward and slap Damien like he told her to do. But to his confusion, she is just standing there looking at Damien, as if she is rooted to the ground. Miller on the other hand is watching everything play out from his house, as almost all the media outlets are telecasting the live footage from in front of the Bishop towers. Even he can see that something is going on there, which is not going to be favorable for him or Watson. He can see the change in the public surrounding Damien and Eva as well. Previously their aggressive stance is now not so aggressive anymore. The monster banners of Damien are nowhere to be seen either. 'Our plan is going to be ruined. She is going to ruin everything ' he understood. 'I should stop this before everything we did to ruin Damien Bishop goes in vain ' he thought. He immediately dialed Watson's number. Wa
Watson who is watching everything from a distance is fuming with anger. Everyone's attention is on the couple who are hugging each other with love. No one paid much attention towards Watson, who is fuming with barely contained rage. After doing everything he can to destroy Damien and make him feel helpless, all his plans proved to be a waste of time and energy. Moreover, he hates Eva. The fact that she is stealing his elder daughter's happiness is a bitter pill for him to swallow. 'You bitch, I should have killed you when you are born. I shouldn't have let your mother talk me into keeping you when I came to know that she is pregnant with you. Today you became a thorn on my side. Today you insulted me in front of so many people. I will not let you go easily. I can never let you be happy with Damien. You deserve to die and that's what I am going to give you as soon as I drag you away from Damien' he thought with barely contained rage. There is one p
Just when Damien was about to walk back inside the Bishop towers, the chief of the police department stopped him. "Sir," he said hesitantly. Eva frowned worriedly. "You don't have to take him into custody now, right? I am not kidnapped by him" she pointed out, trying to save Damien from the cops. Damien and the others chuckled at her words. The chief smiled sheepishly. "We were not taking him into custody in the first place. We were going to the place where that teenager was murdered to survey the crime scene. Unaware about what is happening here, the media and the people who were misled by Watson Yoke and Miller Rodgers thought we are taking Mr Bishop into our custody for interrogation" he revealed. Eva blinked with shock. "But he doesn't have anything to with that murder either. He was with me the entire time at the time of that murder. You cannot really believe my father's words. He didn't do anything" Eva defe
Damien listened to her words carefully. If he is not sure that she too loves him, then he would have felt guilty for forcing her to marry him. But he knows that she loves him. So he is not guilty at all. All he is feeling in that moment is contentment. "Lucky for you, the god must have heard your prayers. You are going to marry the man you love" he teased her. Even though his words are light and teasing, he knows they are true. If she doesn't love him, then she couldn't have been able to pull herself away from her father's grip. Watson has a tight grip on Eva, both physically and emotionally. She is bound to him emotionally, and it's impossible for her to pull herself away from that grip, unless and until she loves someone else more than she loves her father. Eva hid her smile at his comment. She is not sure if she loves him or not, but she is definitely married to a man who loves her more than himself. And she is grateful for the god for giving her such a hu
