The next morning, Eva woke up wrapped in Damien's arms. She knows who is holding her even before she opened her eyes. She should feel guilty that she is lying beside another man who is not Jake. But she doesn't care at this moment. The comfort and warmth coming off of Xavier are so comfortable that she wants to bury herself beside him and not face the world again. But she knows she has to get up and go back to reality soon. Just then, as if to destroy her peace, her mobile rang from beside the bed. She remembered losing her purse last night.
She understood Xavier must have picked it up. She sighed and picked up her phone. Her heart began to beat louder and faster when she saw who is calling her so early.
"You don't have to pick it up if you don't want to" Xavier murmured from beside her.
Eva shook her head.
"You don't know my father, he will keep calling until I pick it up. And then he will make sure to punish me afterward" she explained sadly
Rose is under the impression that, if Damien married her, then he wouldn't have any other option but to stay with her. So she doesn't want someone to grab his attention away from her.She was always insecure about Eva. She looks effortlessly beautiful and Rose has to go to the salon to look good. So she is desperate to keep Eva away from Damien's eyes.Last night's incident made her even more insecure and jealous. She is sure Damien went out to the backyard to see who the woman standing there is. So she is blaming Eva for standing there in the first place. If she didn't stand there, then Damien wouldn't have become curious and he wouldn't have walked out to see who she is. And Rose wouldn't have followed after him, trying to seduce him. And she wouldn't have been insulted by him in front of so many guests.She is so angry with Damien, but she cannot do anything to him. So she is pushing all the blame on Eva and using her as a scapegoat to vent out her
Cassy looked at Eva, who is lying on her bed with her eyes closed. After finding out what happened inside the Yoke mansion, Cassy cursed Watson Yoke and Rose Yoke a lot. Eva was taken to the ER to tend to her wounds. Thankfully Rose didn't break any bones.Eva has bruises all over her body, including her face. Cassy looked at the five finger marks on Eva's cheek and gritted her teeth with anger. Eva told her everything that happened inside the mansion and cried. She didn't eat anything since that morning.Cassy tried to give her some soup, but Eva refused it. Cassy helped Eva in applying the cream the good doctor suggested. Cassy slipped a sleeping pill in the broth she forced down Eva's throat a few minutes ago. Eva needs to sleep and recover. If she keeps panicking about her college fees like she is doing since that morning, then she might end up in ER again.Cassy's family is not rich. So she cannot help Eva in paying her college fees. She can hel
Damien never explains his actions to anyone. But Cassy is loyal to his angel. She has his angel's best interest in heart. That's the only reason why he is letting her know that he will never hurt his Angel."Rose can try to hurt my Angel. But she can't. I will let her taste her own medicine. You don't have to worry about Rose hurting Eva again. I will never let that happen again. I shouldn't have let my angel go to her parent's place in the first place. It's a mistake on my part. And Rose dared to raise her hand on my angel because I slapped her and insulted her last night. So it's my mistake and my angel was punished for that. I will make up to it" he promised sincerely.Cassy knows that everything that he just said is true. His eyes are filled with worry and concern for Eva. But their situation is different."I know you will protect her. But one day all of this has to come out. What will happen that day? You are to marry Rose and she has to marry Jake. N
"What happened? Why do you look so happy?" Cassy asked with confusion. Eva is smiling from ear to ear, even though her cheek is throbbing. She is so happy. "Look, my fees are fully paid. I think my father was trying to scare me yesterday" Eva showed her laptop screen to her best friend. Cassy's eyes widened with surprise. Damien Bishop's face popped into her mind. She clicked the fee details link and found that her suspicion turned out to be true. Under the last semester fee, it's written that it is paid by an unknown source. All the other semester fees are paid by the Yoke group. But the last semester's fee is paid by someone else. "Don't look so happy. It's not your father. It's someone else" Cassy muttered. She doesn't know how she should feel. Damien Bishop is a lifesaver for Eva. He cares for her and protects her from every harm. But the sad part is, he is Eva's future brother-in-law and her one nightstand. Cassy is happy th
Robert and Patrick shared a puzzled glance. "So you are planning to scare Watson Yoke?" Robert asked Damien. Damien just stared at him without a word. His friends are at it for the past half an hour since the moment Damien revealed what he is planning for Watson Yoke. For some odd reason, they both are finding it hard to take in. Robert and Patrick are shocked to hear that Damien is actually planning to hurt Watson, who might or might not be his future father-in-law. They never thought Evangeline Yoke will become someone whom Damien would come to care deeply about. She will be his future sister-in-law. She is to marry Jake in a few months. They both are not understanding why he cares so much about her. She is a Yoke and she is their responsibility. Damien is not the kind to get driven by his emotions. He is cold and calculating. They never saw him getting so attached to a woman before. He always uses women for only one purpose and would di
She doesn't know what Xavier told the receptionist, but after the phone call, her entire demeanor changed towards Eva. Now the other woman is looking at Eva with curiosity and a hint of fear. Eva was swiftly led towards Xavier's cabin. They used the elevator which is marked as private. Eva noticed all the others are using the other four elevators and no one is using this one. 'It must be only for higher-ups ' Eva thought. The Bishop towers is one of the biggest high raises in downtown. It's entirely made of glass and chrome. It's stylish and practical at the same time. The entire tower is used for all of the operations carried on by the Bishop corporations all over the world. It's like head office to all the branches of the corporation, which are spread across the world. When the elevator reached the 45th floor, the receptionist walked outside and Eva followed behind her, trying to hide her face. To her surprise, there is only one door on the entire flo
Robert and Patrick left soon after they greeted Eva, offered an understanding nod towards Damien.Damien tipped his chin, giving a silent message to start working on what he said about Watson Yoke. They both nodded their heads in agreement and left his office cabin.Eva hid behind Damien until both of his friends left."If they are your friends, then they might be friends to my brother-in-law. What if they tell him that came to see you?" She asked with a panicked voice.The moment she referred to him as her brother-in-law, he became uncomfortable. For some reason, he is not liking that title coming from her mouth. He is trying to find proof about Rose's infidelity. The moment he does, he will call off their wedding. It's one of the reasons why he kept pushing the wedding dates for the past couple of years. And he can easily call off his angel's marriage with Jake. Over the years, he gathered enough proof against him to make their contrac
After they successfully named their relationship, Damien ordered lunch for them. Eva decided to have a vegetable sandwich, as she doesn't prefer eating nonveg much. Damien ordered a chicken sandwich for himself and a strawberry milkshake for Eva, to go with her sandwich.They finished their lunch, all the while chatting about nothing in particular. Soon, he had to get back to his work. As her body is bruised, she too was tired. Unintentionally she dozed off on his couch. Damien noticed her and smiled softly. He covered her body with his suit jacket, before resuming his work.His assistants came a couple of times inside his cabin to deliver some files or remind him of his meetings. When they saw a woman lying on his couch, they couldn't hide their surprise. They have been working for Damien for more than a couple of years. In all those years, they never saw him getting tangled up with a woman before.Damien was always in the news for his ruthless busi
