"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
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
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
