Damien is calling Eva as he tried to find out exactly where she is. It's been 1 hour since he started to search for her, but without any luck. He is becoming desperate and worried. There is no trace of Eva what's so ever. Here and there he found traces of what seems to be blood, but there is no direction or pattern to it. It kept revolving around the same rock and he didn't know what to do.
"Angel" he called again. This time the desperation and helplessness in his voice were evident.
Evangeline who is hiding on that tree heard his voice and became hopeful. But she could barely open her eyes. She lost so much blood, that she lacked the energy to do anything at all, much less getting down the tree. But she has to let Damien know where she is. He is her only hope. If she didn't, then he will never know that she is sitting on the tree.
She tried to call him, but her lips refused to move at all. Silent tears began to slide down her cheeks.&nb

It's been two weeks since Eva was discharged from the hospital. The soles of her feet were cleaned and dressed up by a doctor regularly, who comes by daily. She is currently staying in the Bishop mansion. Damien has been staying home since the moment she was discharged. He is working from home and attending all of his meetings with the help of skype. He helps her with her bath, dressing, feeding, and everything else. He became overprotective since this Aaron issue. He increased the security around the mansion. Every day Cassy comes to visit Eva after college and brings her the notes given by her professors. Damien informed and has taken special permission from her college. So her professors are sending her the notes that she needs to learn from their classes. It's been more than two weeks since she walked on her own two feet. Mostly Damien carries her everywhere or she uses her wheelchair on a few rare occasions. Not so surprisingly, none of her family me

"One more" Damien encouraged Eva from where he stood. It's been 4 weeks since the day she was discharged from the hospital and two weeks since she began to walk again. It's taking everything she got to put pressure on her feet again, but she is trying it anyway. The painful grimace on her face is evident enough that it is still hurting her. Damien cannot forget the day he found her lying on the rocky floor on that beach. She was lying in a pool of her blood. He was scared for her life. He is yet to ask her what happened after she was kidnapped by Aaron. He wanted to know how she ended up on that tree. It doesn't matter to him either way. Even if Aaron touched her, it would never diminish the love he has for her. He will love her either way. He wanted to know just because he wanted to punish Aaron for what he did. Aaron's father came and took his son away when Eva was still in the hospital. Bran and Rex were injured a little, but apart from that, nothing
My fiance's Brother Blackmail
Damien is looking at Miller Rodgers with a blank face. He has one of his legs folded over the other and his fingers stapled in front of his face in a relaxed pose. But he is nothing but relaxed. He wanted to rip Miller's throat and demand him to disclose his son's location. Damien is searching for Aaron for over a month now. But Miller hid him somewhere, and even he couldn't find out where. But he wanted Aaron's head to be served on a silver platter. The person who made his angel nearly lose her life only deserves death. Miller is scared as hell. The blank look on Damien's face is deceiving. The calmness in the office is making him feel like it's the calmness before the storm. He knows Damien is searching for his son. And Miller is sure that in no time Damien will find him. There is no place in this that is safe for his son if Damien wants his son dead. "Thank you for your time, Mr Bishop" Miller started politely. "Cut the crap Miller's, c

"You spoiled your son rotten. It's you because of whom he did what he did" Damien snapped at Miller. Miller had the decency to flinch and avert his gaze with guilt. He knows what his son did is wrong. But Miller never refused anything that he ever asked of him. And buying Evangeline is one of those things as well. But how would he know that this will backfire and cost Aaron his life? Miller doesn't have any other option but to blackmail Damien. He knows it will not work. But he can always try. He heard Watson Yoke is angry with Damien as well. He can always take Watson's help and save his son's life. "According to this contract, Watson signed over his daughter to my son Aaron. That woman is given to my son and Watson Yoke declared that he is giving all the rights to my son regarding his younger daughter. So legally what Aaron did is not wrong. He can take her anywhere he wanted to and do whatever he wants to. So if I complain against you in a police sta
My fiance's Brother Concern
After looking at Damien's angry face, Eva became restless. She tried to close her eyes and rest for a bit just Damien suggested. Her battered body is tired and it's demanding some rest as well. Her fractured ribs are yet to recover completely. She can feel the pain whenever she moved. The doctor gave her some pain meds, but they are making her drowsy all the time. So she refused to take them until and unless she needs to. She groaned with frustration as Damien's angry face kept popping in front of her eyes again and again. "Why is he so angry? Who made him so furious?" She wondered. Since the day he rescued her from that island, he never left her side until it's absolutely necessary. And nothing made him that mad either. 'Is it work? He was neglecting his work because of me. Is there any problem in his workplace? Is that why he was so mad? Did his subordinates messed up something? Since the day he met her, he was sucked into her mess of a life.

"Angel?" Damien exclaimed and rushed towards her to lift her off her feet.Damien carried her towards his chair behind the desk and made her sit on his lap. After she was rescued, this is the first time he did anything that is intimate or being this close to her. He always carried her everywhere, but as soon as they reach their destination, he used to let her go and move away from her.This is the first time he made her sit on his lap or maintain close contact for this long. Even though she is shocked, she is not repulsed. She welcomed his touch for a change."Do you need anything angel? Why did you come downstairs? You should have called me instead. Your feet must be hurting" he said with concern and began to slowly massage her feet just like the doctor showed him. Eva closed her eyes and bit her lower lip so that she wouldn't moan and embarrass herself. But her sore feet are now feeling so much better with the way he is massaging.She looked

He heard from her nurse and her doctors that she made good progress in these last ten days. If she tries a little harder, then she can walk like usual in no time.Even though Damien is happy that she recovering faster, he is sad that he couldn't see her progress by himself."Earth to Damien," Robert said as he walked inside Damien's cabin with an amused expression on his face.Damien looked at Robert and rolled his eyes at him.

Even during weekends, he will leave for work and she only saw him once during the entire week. She began to miss his presence.On the other hand, the nurse appointed by Damien is more interested in flaunting her cleavage in front of Damien than taking care of her.

My fiance's Brother Happily ever after
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
My fiance's Brother Back for love
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
My fiance's Brother Their love
"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
My fiance's Brother Date of death
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
My fiance's Brother Life and death
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
My fiance's Brother Not guilty
"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
My fiance's Brother Video fiasco
"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
My fiance's Brother Doctor William
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
