"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
Damien's attention is not on the file which is sitting in front of him for the past half an hour. It's been two weeks since he began to work from his office again. But in these last two weeks, he is missing his angel more and more every day. If he wants, he can wait until she wakes up every day and then come to work. But he doesn't want to make her feel upset if she doesn't want to see his face in the morning. Moreover, he is trying to give her some space so that she could recover and adjust according to her own speed. 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.
It's been two weeks since Damien began to go back to work. Since then, Eva barely saw him. He usually leaves before she wakes up and will come back after she sleeps. 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. The top two buttons of her shirt are always undone, mainly during the morning hours when Damien leaves for work and evenings when he returns home.Eva is feeling irritated looking at that woman who is shamelessly trying to grab the attention of a married man. To his credit, Damien never looked at her once. Eva always observes their interaction from her room window or on rare occasions when she wakes up early.This past one week Eva is feeling more drowsy and tired like she used to feel when she was taking those pain med
"Are you giving her pain meds?" Damien asked the nurse. "Yes of course" she answered confidently. Damien frowned with an irritated look on his face. He told her not to give pain meds to Eva. But despite his instructions, this stupid woman is giving Eva the pain meds that are making her feel drowsy. "Are you out of your mind? I told you not to give the pain meds to her. Then why are you giving them again? Can't you follow simple instructions?" Damien asked with an irritated look on his face. If the nurse is a man, he would have punched him before throwing him out of the mansion. But she is a woman and he is trying to control his anger. Being a nurse she should take care of her patient. That should be her main priority. But this one is more interested in flirting than the task given to her. The nurse paled when she heard Damien's words. She vaguely remembered him instructing her something about some meds. But she was busy ogling him with her eye
The nurse is shocked to hear that the famous Damien Bishop is married. She blinked a couple of times to adjust to the words Eva just said. She looked at Eva with a confused frown. 'Mr Bishop is so famous and rich. If he is truly married, then it must have been a sensation by now. Why will he marry some nobody like her and that too secretly? Surely this woman lying' she thought. A sneer appeared on the nurse's face. "Do you think I am an idiot? Mr Bishop is the most eligible bachelor. He is handsome and rich. Why will he marry someone like you? And why will he keep it a secret even if he is married?" She asked with a snotty expression. Eva looked at Damien, who is looking at her with a strange expression. He is indeed the most eligible bachelor. She doesn't know why he married her in the first place. But she is really grateful that he did. She was indeed angry when he married her without her permission. But slowly she began to understand everything. He
Miller Rodgers had no other option left but to go and ask Watson Yoke for help. If he want his son alive, he needs someone who is willing to go against the Bishops. Right now, only Watson Yoke has the same mindset as Miller and he is the only one who would help Miller. On the other hand, Watson Yoke is in a sour mood. He is sitting in the living area of the Yoke mansion with a scowl. Since the day Damien let him go from his basement, Watson couldn't forget the way Damien treated him. Watson has some injured which are yet to cure. These are the same injuries caused when Damien and his friends tortured him for Eva's location. Watson is resenting Eva now more than ever. She snatched the chance to marry Damien away from his beloved daughter Rose. When he conveyed the same to his daughter, she became upset and destroyed every single item in her room. "If you think I will let you live a peaceful life after destroying my daughter's life, then you are wro
Rose is feeling miserable. She always dreamed of marrying Damien and leading a luxurious life, where everyone would respect her and the woman would envy her good fortune. But when her dad revealed that Damien married Eva instead, she became furious. She destroyed her room and every breathable thing she could get her hands on. But no matter what, she couldn't get rid of the deep-rooted hatred and anger that began to burn brighter than ever. Rose always envied and hated Eva. The younger Yoke daughter is effortlessly beautiful and would look good no matter whatever outfit she wore. That's one of the reasons why Rose enjoyed her parents pampering since she was a child. There is a silent war going on between Eva and Rose. Eva doesn't even know that Rose is competing with her since the beginning. That's why she gave the younger daughter everything that was used by the elder one. Even in used clothes and things, Eva used to look exquisite, which Rose always resented.&
As soon as Cassandra heard his son's plan, she understood she was right. She thought he would do something like this. He can really get some good cash by selling those photos. But what he is not understanding is that he will be the one who is going to suffer in the aftermath of the fire he is about to lit. "Are you out of your mind Jake? Do you have a death wish?" Cassandra snapped at her son. Jake frowned at her mother's words. He stepped out of the elevator when he reached his floor and walked towards his apartment. It's the first door on the right. "What? What do you mean mother? This was your idea from the beginning. You are the one who told me to trap Rose and blackmail her for money. Now, what is so different if I sell these pictures to the media? Money is money, no matter where I get it from" Jake pointed out while unlocking his door. Cassandra gritted her teeth with anger. She is so smart and scheming. But her son is so impulsive and never bot
Damien is leaning against the headboard while sitting on the bed in their room. He is answering some important emails while Eva is in the shower. He knows what she is doing. She is hiding from him. Since this morning after that nurse left and Eva declared him as her husband, she is trying to avoid him. He noticed that she is peeking at him when she thought he is not looking. But he misses nothing and her curious glances are no different. Moreover, he is in tune with every move she makes. She is trying to come to terms with her behavior. She is not understanding why she reacted so strongly to that nurse. Damien smiled with amusement. If she finds out that he would be sleeping with her on the same bed tonight, she will throw a fit. He looked at the bathroom door when he heard it unlocked. Eva on the other hand is distracted. She is feeling confused about her own behavior. She is not understanding why she became so angry that morning. She sighed and wrapped a towel arou
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
