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
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
