Troy was moved hearing the girl's words but he knew that the girl might just be saying it out if care and not love. He wanted to have the girl, when she was fully sure that he is the person for him but not Rick. "Listen, please go on a date with him tonight. A date of two hours will not hurt me. I am fine! Trust me!" Troy smiled a bit sadly, looking at Eva.
"No! I will not go. I want to be with you." Eva nodded her head in disapproval.
"I know that Eva. But Rick is also important to you and today if you reject him, all our hardwork is gone. He might not ask you again ever. Think about it." Troy sighed with a heavy heart. He wanted to tell the girl to not go and meet Rick, but he knew that he would be too unfair towards the girl. He could not take undue advantage of the girl just because she was taking care of him in the hospital.
Eva sighed and kept looking at the blank wall ahead of her. "Hmm... you are right. You met with an accident because you are m

"Troy? Is it looking that bad? Do you want me to go and change? Tell me quickly, Rick must be waiting for me at the restaurant." Eva waved her hands coming close to the boy, trying to pull her out of the daze. "Huh?" Troy blinked several times and turned away his neck in embarrasement. "No... ermm.. you look very beautiful that is why I could not take my eyes off you. I am sure Rick's reaction will also be the same. All the best." Troy got up from the bed and walked upto the girl. He then hugged her tightly and placed his head on her shoulder. "I hope you really find true love Eva and I wish you all the happiness. May you live your entire life with the person, who loves you with pure heart." Eva smiled a bit and hugged back Troy, lightly, making sure to not cause him any pain. "Thank you Troy. That is so sweet of you." Another tear dropped down from Troy's eye and he quickly wiped it, retracing his arms from the girl. "Take care of yourself

"Let us go inside." Rick turned his body and held out his elbow for the girl to hold. He could sense everybody was now staring at them, and he could only feel more pride. Eva blushed a little and held his elbow, while they both walked inside the restaurant. Soon they both were walking in a long hallway, and entered the luxurious restaurant which had no single person inside it. "Huh? How is this place so empty today?" Eva looked at the circular hall in confusion. Rick smiled proudly, looking at the girl's confused face. "I wanted us to have alone time. So I booked all the tables." Eva gasped in utter shock and looked at Rick's face. "Is that a joke?" She then turned to look at the gigantic place, which had several tables all over. The place was extremely costly, and booking a single table here meant paying a hefty amount of bill. "Of course not." Rick shrugged his shoulders, grinning looking at Eva's face. He wante

"Hahaha... is that a joke Eva. You also hate your old boring self as much as I do. Of course, I would have never asked you out if you would have looked your ealier self." Rick grinned happily, as if je jad cracked a funny joke."Hahah... yeah... so funny. I was just kidding. Is not that obvious that I looked so ugly earlier." Eva too forced a smile on her face, while her face flushed a little more.Soon a waiter came near the table and placed a bottle of wine, along with two wine glasses. "Sir, the wine you ordered.""Great! Thank you." Rick smiled happily, looking at the costly red wine.Eva looked at the bottle in much nervouseness. She had no experience in drinking and now she could not refuse to Rick, as she had earlier pretended to be very cool about alcohol. For a few seconds, she wished that Troy was here to help her, so that if she trips after drinking, he will handle her. "Are we going to drink Rick?"

"Oh yes. I get it. The publishing company is a great way to earn good money." Eva smiled a bit awkwardly, and soon the waiter brought the girl's order on the table."Let us dig in." Rick smiled as he continued to have the earlier dishes he had ordered, while Eva started to eat her vegetarian pasta."This pasta is delicious." Eva nodded her head in approval, as she gulped the cheesy dish in her throat."Oh, you have got some sauce on your lip. Here, let me help you." Rick held out his index finger and wiped off the sauce on her lower lip.As soon as his finger touched her lip, she shuddered a bit. Rick lightly licked his index finger and looked at the lipstick mark on his skin. "It is indeed an honour for any guy to have your lipstick mark on his finger."Eva pursed her lips and blushed a little. "Oh stop it Rick. You are acting like, you are meeting me for the first time." Eva shrugged her hand, feeling too shy, by the

A surge of huge jealousy errupted in Rick's heart as he saw how lovingly Eva talked about him. "Eva... d... do you like him?" "Huh?" Eva raised her eyebrows and looked at him in much surprise. "I.... I am sorry, but I just wanted to confirm. I hope there is nothing in between you both except this fake marriage." Rick asked as his heart was now beating rapidly. He was too nervous about the girl's reply. Eva looked at him in much surprise, holding the fork in her hand, as if she was a statue. "D... Do I like him?" She repeated Rick's words as if thinking about it carefully. Rick too raised his eyebrows looking at her confused face. "Why do you have to think so much about it? Eva... d.. do you love him?" Eva blinked several times as if coming out of a deep trance. Suddenly she was reminded of the time that she had called up Troy and there was another girl with him. "Heck no! I was surprised that why are you even aski

Eva nodded her head in approval and smiled a bit. "Thanks for understanding Rick." After another 30 minutes the two of them were already making there way out from the restaurant. Rick had a big smile on his face as he had held Eva's hand, while Eva seemed to have been lost in some thought. Soon they both halted outside Eva's car and Rick gave a tight hug to the girl. "Thank yoi for coming Eva. I love you!" Eva was taken aback hearing the three magical words from the boy's mouth. Sge hesitated for a bit and then hugged him back slightly. "Thank you for the wonderful evening Rick. Goodnight." She retraced her arms immediately and sat inside the car waving a goodbye at Rick. As soon as Eva entered the hospital room after changing her clothes at the palace, she saw Troy who was lazily sitting on the bed and watching television. "I am back." Troy turned his neck and smiled looking at the girl. "I am so glad. How did it go?" He force

Eva too was now looking in his eyes and they both were lost in each other. "You need a man who will protect you and pamper you. Even though you are a warrior princess and can fight your own battles, but you need a faithful companion to give you equal amount of love that your parents have showered you with." Troy continued to speak his heart out looking in her eyes. Eva's eyes went moist as she heard the boy's words. "Why do you always know how to speak the most accurate thing. You always know what I want and what I want to hear." Troy looked at Eva in much longing, while Eva kept looking at him in much thankfulness. "We have a special connect from the beginning. I just know what you need." "Thank you for everything Troy." Eva hugged him tightly and placed her head on his shoulder. Troy too hugged him back trying not to cry. They both hugged for a very long time, when suddenly Troy's phone rang. "It is grandmother. I hop

Troy smiled thankfully and then turned his neck to look at the television screen. "I am watching avengers. Do you want to join?" "Sure! I would love to." Eva nodded her head and comfortably lied on the bed facing the screen. Soon they both were watching the movie, and dozzed off to sleep. Few days later..... Troy was finally discharged from the hospital though he still had mild pain in his head and back. They both had shifted to the castle. This time Troy had decided to be a little more careful and clever. He could not let Diana kill him or Eva. He used to keep an eye on Diana's every move now and was tracking all the places she visited. He was currently sitting in the balcony of his room, when his cell phone buzzed. Troy instantly picked up the call, and seemed like he was waiting for this particular call from a very long time. "Yes Francis? What have you gathered?" "I have been following the driver and also Dian
