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
Eva tried to push him away, but he is not budging. She has her palms firmly placed on his chest and she is trying with all her might to push him away. Apart of her wanted to give in and let him hug her one last time. But her mind knows better. This is wrong in every way. "Let me go, Xavier," she said trying to push him away. Her eyes began to well up again, and tears began to stream down her cheeks. Tears of bittersweet memories, tears of regret and sadness. "Never," he said firmly and even tightened his hold around her waist to make it a point. "Xavier" she pleaded in between her tears. If it's any other case, he would have let her go. Because he doesn't want to hurt her more. But now, she is hurting because of him and he cannot leave her alone. "No" he refused softly. She broke down into sobs again. She remembered everything he has done for her so far. He never forced her against her will. He was always there for her when she n
Eva is still reeling from shock. She never thought Jake would charm even Rose. After Eva came out of her shock, she noticed that Damien is hugging her. No matter what Rose did, this is still bad. So she pushed him away, catching him off guard. She ran away from there before he could come after her.She directly ran towards the parking lot and dialed Cassy to come out. Together they left the Yoke mansion. Cassy kept looking at Eva, every now and then. Eva is still shocked about everything that happened at the party tonight.After reaching their apartment, without saying a word to Cassy, Eva locked herself inside her room. Cassy tried to talk with Eva, but in vain. Eva is not in a mood to talk to anyone right now. She cannot still digest the fact that Xavier is Damien. Like an idiot, she kept running into him again and again.Eva is now scared.'What if my father finds out about this? How will Rose react when she comes to know about this? Oh dea
Rose is furious. She was always worried about Eva seducing Damien. That's why she made sure to keep her away from him. She made sure that could meet personally. But last week when she saw the cold and calculating Damien hugging Eva with so much love and affection, Rose became shocked and Jealous. "I know I made a mistake by keeping an affair with Jake. But I wanted the love you have for Eva. I want you to bend backward to please me. I want to control you and the entire Bishop fortune. I want every other woman in the world to feel jealous looking at my good fortune. I want everything to be the best in my life. And you are one of the best. You are a cut above them all. And I want you. But that will only be possible if Eva is out of the picture. And I will make sure she is gone permanently" Rose slammed her palm angrily onto the mirror. It broke into several pieces. Her room is a mess of broken vases, mirror pieces, ruined bedding, and everything. She cannot share
Eva is hurt after she found out that Cassy hid the truth from her. But Cassy explained to her why she had to hide it. Firstly, it was between Damien and Eva. Cassy cannot involve in their personal issue. And secondly, Damien doesn't want Cassy to tell anything to Eva just yet. So she kept quiet when she found his concern for Eva genuine. Cassy is not wrong. Damien truly cares for her. But nothing matters now. He is who he is and she is who she is. They can never have anything together. Not even the tentative friendship they began. Eva shivered when she remembered his words from that night. 'Let me go Xavier' 'Never ' His blatant refusal to let her go and his possessive hold around her body is something she cannot forget. He was holding her as if he is holding his most valuable possession. Eva thought that after his true identity is revealed, he would now stop meeting her until and unless it is very important. But little did she know that he would show
Neither Cassy nor Eva noticed the black van slowly passing by them. Nor did they notice few people lurking by the streets in black clothes, watching both of them closely. One of them pressed some keys on his mobile and dialed someone. "They just entered the block. There are two women. Which one do you want us to kidnap" he asked in a dark tone. He is tall with a mustache and a nicely trimmed beard. Looking at him, no one can guess that he will kidnap people for ransom. He is looking like a regular guy, who works 8 to 5 jobs and relaxes in his home with a bear in the evenings. His name is Bran and he is a local bikers gang leader, who maintains a gang of 45 members. He does all these illegal things for money. But as a person, he is not as worst as Rose and Jake. This is his chosen profession to earn money. So when he got an offer from a rich and useless man, he agreed because it's good money. These rich people will waste money like they was
Slowly Eva's eyes adjusted to her surroundings and she began to panic. She vaguely remembers that last night when Eva and Cassy were walking towards their apartment, someone pressed a cloth on their faces and that's the last thing she remembered. Now after noticing her strange surroundings, she understood that they were kidnapped.Panic began to build up in the pit of her stomach. She looked beside her and found Cassy lying there still unconscious. Eva took a deep breath as shook Cassy."Cassy, Cassy wake up" she shook her friend not so gently.Cassy groaned and pushed Eva away."Let me sleep will you?" She mumbled sleepily.Eva is scared out of her mind. So she shook Cassy again."Cass, wake up. Someone kidnapped us" Eva whispered in a panic-filled tone.That caught Cassy's attention and she immediately sat up. That fast movement made her head hurt because of the chloroform they were given the previous night."My head" she gro
As soon as the kidnaper locked them in that room again, Cassy glared at Eva."Are you insane? What were you trying to do? Do you think I would go away from here leaving you alone? " She asked with a hurt look.Eva shook her head."No Cass, you need to run away from here. If possible you can find someone to help me. You can even give information to the police. Jake is after me. He might be feeling angry because he got ambushed because of me. I don't know what he has in store for me. He won't wait any longer to come and rub his victory in my face, or even finish what he started that night. But if there is a chance that you could escape from a certain fate, then I would do anything for you. I cannot let you suffer because of me. If he comes back, I will offer him all the money I have in my account so that he would let you go. Run Cass, run away before Jake comes here to find me" Eva told her friend.She still remembers that Jake wanted to give Cass
Bran is pleasantly surprised when he received a call from his old friend Damien. "To what do I owe this pleasure of being remembered by the busiest man of the hour" Bran teased Damien. But Damien on the other hand is not in the mood to jest with Bran. He is worried about his angel. "Not now Bran. I need you to find someone for me. Come to the Mansion. It's urgent" Damien said curtly before disconnecting the call. Damien rubbed his face with his palm, as worry began to eat at him. "Where are you, Angel? What happened to you? I am worried about you. I cannot live if something happens to you" he confessed out loud. He is still sitting in his car outside Eva's apartment building, in the hopes that she might come back any moment now. As the time passes by without a sigh of her anywhere, he is getting anxious and feeling on edge. Damien wants to be wrong for the first time in his life and wants his angel safe. But his gut is telling hi
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
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
"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
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
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
"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
"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
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
