"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

The two cars were now parked at the extreme corner of the road and hidden with a few tree branches. The four of them were now rapidly walking on the straight road, when Troy saw a gigantic boundary wall with a huge white colored gate. "This mansion is huge." "Yes sir. It is indeed. We will have to climb the gate and enter it. Since the alarm bells are off, they would not know anything." Spoke up a guy as he took out a black colored rope from his backpack. The other man took out a camera, while the third man took out a tiny gun. Soon they halted outside the gigantic gate, and one of the men threw the hooked rope at the top of the gigantic gate, making it fix in one hook. Soon they all were climbing the gate with the help of the rope and turn by turn jumped inside the premises. Troy looked to his left and then to his right, and could see well maintained lawns and a water fountain in extreme corner. "I hope they don't have ferocious dogs." The

The lady's back was towards Troy and she was holding a thick walking stick in her hand. Troy took deep breaths, stepping a little away from the fat lady. The lady's back was towards him, and seemed to have just stepped out of the shower. Her white hair were left open, while she wore a long white colored expensive looking dress. Troy could not see her face, but noticed only her thick looking glasses. The lady looked like she was in her seventies and pretty feeble. Troy further took a few steps back and noticed the lady picking up a cell phone from a drawer. Her hands were shivering from weakness, but yet she looked determined to dial the number. Troy in the meanwhile took a few more steps backwards, trying to notice the lady's face. He hid behind a gigantic couch, and popped out his neck so that he could see the lady. He managed to see her face and was a little raken aback by the amount of makeup she had done. Her face was extremely wrinkled and her hands

He took several pictures of the photoframes, which had Diana and the old lady standing side by side. After he had collected enough evidence, he was about to walk away when he spotted a minute lock next to a painting, across the hall. "This looks so mich similar to the lock in the palace. I have to see what is inside it." Troy yet again turned to look at the sleeping beauty and then slowly started to walk towards the door.He had just crossed half of the distance when suddenly he saw a man standing in front of him. He seemed to have just arrived the house and was holding a large suitcase in his hand."Ermmm.... Hi..." Troy grinned nervousely and was about to pretend to be a guest, when suddenly he realized that the man was nobody else than the queen's driver."What are you doing here?" The man frowned and looked at Troy suspiciousely."I... Errr.... I.. I am a guest. I was invited by the queen in this house to strike a deal." Troy
