Just when Eva was about to lose her conscience, the pressure around her neck was released and she stumbled to the floor trying to catch her breath. She took greedy gulps of breath and steadied herself. That's when she heard the sounds of punches and grunts. She looked in the direction of the sounds and found that Xavier has Jake pinned to the ground face first and he is raining punches on Jake. To her horror, Jake is not moving.
"Xavier" she croaked through her dry throat to attract his attention.
'If he keeps punching Jake, then he might kill him.
Eva is not worried about Jake. But she is worried about Xavier. If Jake is dead, then Xavier has to face a lot of trouble.
"Xavier stop, you will kill him" she pleaded with as much strength as she could muster.
Damien on the other hand wants to kill Jake.
Damien just came back today and was intending to just pass by his angel's apartment. He wanted to check on her once. But to his conf
Eva froze when his lips touched hers. He is her friend and friends do not kiss each other like this. They will not take a bath with each other under one shower head either. She is confused. She wants him to kiss her and make her forget Jake. But they are not supposed to be doing this. After tonight, she is more determined than ever to try and cancel her marriage with Jake. But that doesn't mean she can have an affair with Xavier. He is still her would-be brother-in-law's best friend and she might have to meet him every now and then. And she is still Jake's intended, completely off-limits to Xavier. She should have pushed him away the moment he stripped her naked, But she didn't. She should have told him no when he joined her in the shower, but she didn't. At least now she should push him away and remind him that she is still someone else's intended, even though she is not going to marry Jake. If that failed, then she will take Cassy's advice and run away
"Xavier" Eva whispered it as a plea. She wanted him to stop and think about what she is trying to tell him. This will not work out. Not now, not ever. He needs to understand that. Damien pulled back and looked at her. "What is bothering you so much?" he asked caressing her cheek with the back of his palm. Eva is taken aback by his question. She pushed his palm away and glared at him. "What do you mean by what is bothering me? Just now I explained to you why this is not a good idea. But still, you are asking me what is bothering me? Didn't you listen to a single word I told you just now?" She asked him flabbergasted. Damien smiled. "It's impossible to ignore you or your words. I heard everything you just said" he replied casually. His palms are caressing her exposed breasts, distracting her. She wanted to close her eyes and give in. But if this continues, it would be a disaster. So she slapped his palm away and once again covered he
Damien is laying down beside Eva. Eva is fast asleep, but he couldn't sleep. Neither he could take her body again. After he explained about Jake taking advantage of her innocence, he began to realize that he is doing the same. She doesn't know who he is. If she does, then she would never allow him to touch her so intimately. He is currently holding her naked body tightly to his own. She has her head laid down on his chest. One arm and one leg are draped over his torso and things. She wrapped a blanket before she went to sleep, but it fell off exposing her delectable body to his eyes to feast upon. He is caressing her naked spine absently. He is unbearably hard and wanted to take her body now and then. But he cannot do that. She trusts him as Xavier. But she doesn't know he is actually Damien Bishop, the man whom she thinks is going to be her brother-in-law. She respects Damien and she is attracted to Xavier. She will never betray her sister like t
"Oh? So you are being attacked by thieves and your fiancee ran away leaving you to die in their hands?" Damien criticized Jake. Jake gritted his teeth when he heard Damien's words. He too was thinking the same. 'Why the hell didn't she stop that man from beating me? Is he her lover? Is that why he attacked me? Because I was touching his lover?' Jake thought with anger. But he cannot let out his anger in front of Damien. Because his stepbrother already feels that he is useless. If he finds out that he was beaten by his fiance's lover, then he might laugh at him. "No, she must have been scared of that goon. He was so scary and hefty. It is better that she escaped. It must be a true tragedy if that goon caught her. She is irresistibly beautiful you know. I am sure he must have done something bad to her if she got caught. I escaped with some superficial wounds. But it must not be the case with her. It would have been a traumatic experience for her i
Robert and Patrick looked at Jake with a sneer. They looked back at Damien who is now standing with his back facing them and looking outside through the glass wall behind his desk."I thought you would kill him" Patrick commented."I wanted to kill him too. But just like my angel pointed out, he is not worth it" Damien replied, trying to control his anger over the fact that, Jake tried to hurt her.Patrick nodded his head in understanding. Damien knows his friends well enough to know that, they must have understood what Evangeline is to him. He too realized that she is his and there is nothing he wouldn't do for her. She is going to be a Bishop soon, Mrs Damien Bishop."So what are you planning next? We need to cancel your wedding with Rose and Evangeline's wedding with Jake. I heard Watson wanted to announce your engagement with Rose tonight. If he did that, then everything will become official. The media will have a field day if we cancel the wedding af
"Slap......"A harsh slap resonated all around the Yoke Mansion, mere minutes before the beginning of the party."Dad?" Rose gasped with shock, holding her throbbing cheek.Watson Yoke is furious. He wanted to announce his daughter's engagement with Damien Bishop tonight. By doing so, he wanted to divert the attention of the public and the media away from his company towards the engagement of the most eligible bachelor Damien Bishop. But to his bad luck, his daughter ruined his plans. The pictures sitting in his mailbox are proof of how worst the situation could go.Someone is blackmailing him for 1 million dollars and they are threatening to leak those pictures to the media. No father should see his daughter making out with a stranger. But he had that terrible fate of looking at those horrible pictures.Now he had to postpone his plans and he had to keep his mouth shut about that announcement."Shut up" Watson roared at hi
Eva slowly walked inside the Yoke mansion with slow hesitant steps. She never had good memories in this mansion and the last two times when she came here, she was kicked out once and she barely escaped from Rose's wrath the other time.Eva is looking beautiful in her dark red dress, minimal makeup, and red lipstick. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, and the ends are teased into curls. The yoke mansion is tastefully decorated with special shimmery drapes and some interesting flower patterns near the entrance. There is a red carpet laid in front of the entrance to welcome the guests. By the sheer number of cars parked outside, she can tell that the party is already in full swing.On the other hand, Cassy is wearing a baby pink body con dress, with a high neck. The dress is sleeveless and hugs her curves perfectly. She too pulled her hair up into a high ponytail. She is looking beautiful in her own right.Eva's palms are sweating with nervousness. She n
Damien's face is a blank mask. He is not letting anything show on his face. To everyone standing around him, he is calm and composed. But he is anything but calm. The look of pure betrayal and hurt which is evident on his angel's face is like a stab at his heart. He wanted to tell her that it's not his intention to hide the truth from her. It's just that, she assumed that he is Xavier and he let her. He couldn't let her get more worried thinking that her one-night stand is none other than Damien himself."Hello Evangeline" he greeted her in a deep voice. It's not the tone he uses with her. Whenever he is in her presence, warmth seeps into his words, and his face is never the same blank mask.Eva is having a hard time controlling her tears. Her eyes are burning and she is trying hard enough not to burst out into tears. She wanted to hit him and hurt him and demand him to explain why he did what he did. But her father is standing beside her, waiting for her to gree
