Watson Yoke visited the Bishop mansion, to request their financial help for his company, which is in crisis. But upon visiting the mansion, he found out that Damien Bishop is out of town.
"I don't know that Mr Damien is out of town. Do you have any idea when he will be back?" Watson asked Alexander Bishop.
Alexander shook his head.
"I don't know Watson, he never discusses these things with me nowadays. And I am too old and tired to involve myself with all those details anyway" Alexander replied apologetically.
Watson sighed with resignation. Damien was his last hope to pull himself out of this crisis he is facing. But now that he is out of town, Watson has no other option left.
"I tried calling him, but he is not answering his phone. He might be busy" Watson murmured absently.
"He might be" Alexander agreed.
Watson frowned, trying to figure another way out of this mess.
"I don't know what to do now. I need money urg
It's been one week since Eva last spoke to Xavier. It's as if he is giving her the silent treatment. They are not in a stage where they usually speak regularly. But this time it's different. They argued and since then he didn't bother talking to her.Her father seems to have recovered from the crisis Xavier inflicted upon his company. He explained to the people through the media. He made up a story about their rivals trying to defame him and his company and people seem to buy it. Everything became normal and even Rose seems to have recovered from the effects of that cream.But since that day a week ago, Xavier is giving her a silent treatment. He neither called or texted her. It's not like Eva tried calling him either. She doesn't know what to tell him if she even called him. They are at a standstill. He is not liking her being loyal towards her undeserving family and Eva doesn't know how to turn her back on them.And she is not totally on board with
When Jake heard Eva's refusal, he became angry. He stepped out of his car and closed the door with a bang. He walked towards Eva with long angry strides. The streets are almost empty and only Eva, Cassy and Jake are present on the street. As they are not walking through the main road, there is no one around to help them. Cassy stood beside Eva and tightly held her hand lending silent support. "How dare you? Do you think you are better than me? Is that what you think?" Jake sneered at Eva. He is just an inch away from Eva and his alcohol breath is making her gag. "She said she doesn't want to come. Let her be" Cassy interjected. Jake glared at her with resentment. "I know you are the one who is teaching her all this. You good for nothing whore. It would be fun to let my friends have fun with you tonight, when I take her virginity" he threatened Cassy. Eva's face became pale. "She has nothing to do with this. Leave he
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
