Fake Fiancee Chap_33. Fall for Me
Eden knew Damien wasn’t wrong when he said about her body craving his. Though she didn’t accept it, she knew he picked it all right except for the convenient thing.Nor did she expect Damien to see it in that light. But what she could expect from a player like Damien! Eden sighed with this thought. It was her fault that knowing it all along, she went down that road. For the past few days, she had been trying to talk to Damien but every time, she was in front of him, she couldn’t muster up the courage facing his cold behaviour. She wasn’t even sure why he was behaving so rudely with her than before.And now when he finally admit it himself, it hurt her even more. She wasn’t expecting to have it on her face like this. If there was anything, he was craving her body whereas she was craving for his heart more than his body. And she knew it was just out of the equation. She couldn’t help skipping the hangout with Brenda and Cassandra where she was supposed to go after office today. Instead
Fake Fiancee Chap_34. Have to Stop
Eden didn't know how she found it in her to say everything straight to Damien but she was glad, she said it anyway. The possibility of Damien falling for her was near impossible though and she was well aware of that. Now he would shower her with cold words and show her her place gracefully. She thought. And she needed some of these to get back to the reality. Damien didn't do as per her anticipation, rather he stared at her. His heart stopped few beats as her words got registered in his mind. Her words were simple but frightening at the same time. He shook his head, convincing himself more than Eden that there would be no falling for each other between them. It would just be a marriage of convenience. That's all.Though Damien didn’t do anything like Eden thought, Eden got her answer in his look, in his silence. She got up with an intention to leave but she didn't even make it to few steps ahead before Damien stopped her."What are you_" Eden's words were stalled as Damien kissed her
Fake Fiancee Chap_35. Need An Anchor
Early in the evening when Eden got back to her place after office, it seemed strangely quiet like never before. She searched for her parents but having no sight of them, she took out her phone to call her mother as some panicky thoughts crossed her mind. But startling her, her phone started buzzing with the same number flashing on the screen. Eden answered the call without wasting another moment. "Mom, where are you and Dad? You didn't mention going out." Eden said, trying to sound normal."We are at the hospital, Eden." She tried to sound normal but the effort, she was putting in, Eden felt it all."For as usual health checkup on Dad?" Eden said, desperately hoping to hear a yes. Though she knew her father's scheduled check-up routine. It wasn't today, but still two weeks to go to be specific."Eden, Dad isn't well. I brought him to hospital.""What happened to Dad?" Eden's face turned pale as she voiced out.~~All the way the drive to the hospital, Eden felt her heart banging at
Fake Fiancee Chap_36. I am Ready
When Damien reached his cabin, his as usual coffee wasn't waiting for him. Nor his desk looked like arranged neatly. He took an overall glance at his cabin and then turned to the wall of his cabin. Eden's cabin wasn't next to his but he still stared at it wondering if she wasn't in yet. She had never been late until now. He walked to his desk and took the intercom to make a call to her. His direct phone calls and messages were getting ignored anyway. Her intercom also remained unanswered too much for his irritation. Half an hour passed but there was no sight of Eden and this time, Damien got worried. Did she decide to leave the job? Leave him altogether? Without even bothering to talk to him for once! He took the intercom and called the receptionist to know if Eden was in. Her answer disappointed him even more. He reached for his phone only to notice the text from Eden. She was asking for two days off. No, she wasn’t asking. She was just informing him that she was taking it. Who
Fake Fiancee Chap_37. Deeply Hurt
Eden waited for a few moments as if wondering whether she was dreaming when Damien said all this. Because she had a strong belief Damien would help her anyway. She was okay with his showing her coldness but she never thought Damien would be this cruel and turn her down when she was in desperate need of money. Even if not for help, to get her because more than her, he was the desperate one to get her to agree with his terms. Or was she being delusional all this time? Damien moved his gaze from the file in his hand and turned to her, "Ms. McBride, what are you waiting for? I said out of my face. NOW." His voice had dropped a few degrees as he uttered the last word and this time, Eden realized she wasn't dreaming like she thought and left from there blinking back her tears. Her only hope was shattered. Now she would have to go back to the hospital nearly empty handed in comparison to the amount, she needed. She exited the office building. Instead of taking a cab or bus, she started
Fake Fiancee Chap_38. Not an Ethical Thing to Do
When Eden took another step toward him, Damien casually kept the ring on the desk as if it had nothing to do with her. His voice was as cold as ever when he voiced out, "You should have knocked." "Sorry, Sir. I did a knock. But you didn't respond." Eden replied with a frown. What's the matter with him? Just now he was staring at the ring longingly that belonged to her a few days back. No, not belonged to. She had it on her finger just. Her mind reminded her. "Then you should have waited." Damien said coldly and shoved the ring into the drawer. He turned to her again and said, "Anyways, you were saying something?" "Yes, Sir. You have a meeting in half an hour." "Okay. You go. Arrange it. I will be there." Damien was thinking of asking about her father but at last, he didn't. What's the point? ~~ Two days got passed but the air between Damien and Eden was still dense. None of them tried to clear it having different types of thoughts going on in their mind. Damien was relived findi
Fake Fiancee Chap_39. More Than Just Perfect
Damien knew Eden wouldn't go to visit her father today and that's why he decided to visit him. Not just today but he went there for a few times. He chose the time when he was sure Eden wouldn’t be there. Eden's parents were so warm to him that he couldn't help but visiting them. But what he didn't expect to find out today was the family moment of grief. After talking to Dr. Johnathan, he wasn't feeling assured. He talked to his family Dr. Smith and asked him to take care of the matter. When he saw Eden making her way out of the hospital building, he also took his leave from her mother and followed Eden out. She seemed to be in lost in some thoughts. He had a pretty good idea about it anyway. When Eden pleaded with her father, he could see the desperation in her eyes. Her eyes tell it all that she would do anything for her father. Her father wasn't any less when it came to Eden as well. Suddenly he felt lonely and started missing his parents, missing his cousins, his family. He kn
Fake Fiancee Chap_40. A Piece of Good News
Moments had passed but they were still lost in each other and when they parted, both of them were breathless. Surprising Damien, Eden looked shy as she looked down refusing to meet his gaze for the first time. Damien chuckled as he cupped her reddened face softly, "Don't worry too much. Everything will be alright." Eden looked into his sparkling bluish iris and nodded softly. She desperately wanted to believe him. She wanted her father to be healthy and with them back here again. Everything would come after that. "See you tomorrow, Eden. Good Night." With that, Damien took his hands to his sides and walked out of her place. A smile crept on her lips as she replayed the happenings in her mind. Damien wasn't the person, she thought of him. He had a soft side in him that he rarely showed to the world. Or maybe he was like this just for her. She would be happy if the latter was the case here. ~~ Damien reached his apartment and after he got freshen up, the first thing he did was call
