"That contract is wrong in so many ways," Damien said angrily.
Eva frowned at his statement. Everything he said is true. But she cannot change a thing. Her father decided her fate, and she cannot go against him. She never did.
"That's not the point here" she defended.
Damien raised his eyebrows.
"Is it? Then what is?" he asked looking at her intently.
He wants to know why she came here in the first place. He should have asked that the moment he saw her in the middle of the living area. But her alluring scent made him lose his mind. It's still affecting him, but her tears are the only thing that is anchoring him so that he wouldn't pounce on her like the beast that he is.
"You are my brother in laws friend..." She began to explain, but he cut her off in the middle.
"Would be" he muttered.
Eva looked at him with confusion.
"What?" She asked.
"I am not your brother in ... I mean, He is not your brother-in-law yet. He
It's been two days since Eva met Xavier. She often found herself smiling when she remembers their interaction. If she had a chance to choose a man for herself, she would go for someone like Xavier. Considerate, caring, and handsome. Let's not forget about the chemistry they share. "Let's go" Jake muttered with irritation, snapping Eva out of her daydreams. Like always, Jake insisted that he would pick her up from her college and she didn't have any other option but to agree to his demands. If she didn't, he would go and complain about her to her father. For as long as she could remember, she is vying for her father's love and affection. That's the only reason why she always agrees to everything he demands from her. She is hopeful that one day he might notice that she is a good daughter who never troubled him and begin to love her like he loves her sister Rose. So she silently endures everything, Jake throws her way. Eva folded hersel
Damien is stunned to find his Angel running blindly with tears in her eyes and three men chasing after her. If it's not for his driver who stopped the car in time, she would have been dead by now. He got out of the car and discarded his jacket. Slowly he walked to where his Angel is still lying on the ground struggling to get on her feet.The three men are now standing a few feet away from her and one of them stepped forward to take her away with them. But before that drunkard could touch his Angel, Damien punched him hard on his cheek. He fell a few feet away and didn't get up again. The other two looked at Damien's figure with fear and uncertainty. With the headlights glowing so brightly, Damien is sure they cannot see who he is.Their liquid courage must be driving them. Because The other two tried to lunge at him at once, but Damien moved out of the way of one man and kicked the other. Both of them stumbled oo their feet and tried to rush him again, but this
The next morning, Eva woke up feeling sore all over her body. But this time, it's because of the nasty fall and all the running she did to escape from Jake's friends."Hmm" she moaned with discomfort, immediately alerting Damien.His eyes snapped open and he looked at his angel who has her head laid on his naked chest."Angel? Are you alright?" he asked with concern.She mumbled something inaudible. Her eyes are still closed, but he noticed that her body is burning up. He placed his palm on her forehead to feel her temperature. Like he suspected, she has a high fever."Angel, you are burning up," he said, but he didn't receive any response from her. He looked at the time at noticed that it's still early, It's 4 am.He called his family doctor to come to the Bishop residency to look at Eva. After half an hour, one of the guards near the gate led the doctor inside the house. The doctor named William is shocked to find a woman lying on hi
Eva is confused."What fever. I don't have a fever, I am fine" she pointed out.Damien sighed."Since Last night you had a high fever. You are still under medication. You need to rest" he insisted.Eva frowned. Apart from her wounds, she is feeling fine."But Xavier, I have a class at 8o clock. I can't miss it. Can you please drop me home?" she requested.Damien is amused now."You mean, you had a class this morning?" he teased her.That's when everything began to click into place."It's really 6 in the evening?" She asked with her eyes wide.He nodded his head with amusement."I slept the whole day?" She asked as panic began to bubble inside her.He didn't like the worried look on her face. Damien erased the distance between them in two long strides and gently turned her head so that she is looking at him."What are you worried about?" he asked her gently."I didn't t
Damien couldn't help but be worried about Eva. After dropping her in front of her apartment, he drove back to the Bishop residency. As he ignored his work since this morning, he began to work from his home office. He looked at the time and noticed it's time for Eva to take her medicine. It's been 6 hours since he last gave her the medicine for her fever.He frowned. "Damn it, I didn't give her the medicine. And I don't have her number either. But she needs to take her medicine on time" he thought.He can call her friend, but her worried face kept popping into his mind. So he decided to go and check on her once. 'I can also give her the medicine' he thought. With that thought in mind, he picked up his car keys at 10 in the night to go check on Eva.Eva is crying thinking about her future with Jake. Jake left an hour ago, but his words kept popping in her mind. She knows Jake is a womanizer and not at all trustworthy
"Now tell me what's wrong" Damien asked softly. Eva looked into his eyes which are filled with so much care and concern. She never saw a person who cares for her this much apart from Cassy. She couldn't lie to him saying it's nothing. So she revealed everything that happened a few hours ago and how Jake so casually told her to sleep with his friends. Damien became furious after listening to everything. He gritted his teeth with anger. He wanted to demand her to cancel this wedding. But out of all people, he knows it's not that easy. But the thought of her marrying Jake is something he cannot digest. It's leaving a sore taste in his mouth. Jake doesn't deserve a girl like her. And the nerve of him to propose such an absurd thing is making Damien furious. "That ass*ole" he muttered angrily. Eva flinched looking at how angry he became. Even though she understood that it's not directed towards her, the anger that is rolling off of him in wav
The next day came too quickly for Eva's comfort. She doesn't want to go to this party. But her father wanted her there. To show to the world that their family is so tight-knit and happy.Eva sighed heavily and began to rummage through her closet for something to wear. All of her clothes are hand-me-downs from her elder sister Rose. Eva is a size smaller than Rose. But her sister prefers clothes a size smaller than her size. So that worked out in Eva's favor. She pulled out a black dress from her closet and picked red peep-toe heels to go with it.The sleeveless dress hugs her frame like a second skin and reaches just above her knees. It has a small slit in the back hemline. The plunging neckline reveals only a little bit of her cleavage, just like her father prefers.'Show some skin, but don't dress like a whore or a nanny' he used to snap at her for wearing conservative clothes. Eva always prefers to wear t-shirts and yoga pants. They are comfortable and
Rose on the other hand is glaring at Eva with anger and jealousy. When Eva is busy talking with Alexander, both Rose and her father slipped away from there. "What's wrong sweet pie? You look upset" Watson asked his daughter softly. Rose glared at Eva again. "How can she look so beautiful father? She is wearing one of my old dresses. And I am wearing a branded limited edition dress. But still, the moment she stepped inside, every male eye turned towards her. I don't want her here when Damien comes. I want her gone" Rose said with gritted teeth. Watson loves Rose to bits. He doesn't want to see her getting upset. "Don't worry sweet pie, I will send her away. She will not show her face until Mr Damien Bishop leaves the venue" Watson promised. Rose nodded her head with satisfaction. After talking with Alexander, Eva excused herself to go find her mother. But her father blocked her way. "Father?" She said with puzzleme
