Eva is sitting in her class, but no matter how much she is trying to concentrate, she couldn't. Her mind refuses to process a single word her professor is teaching them. Where ever she look, she is seeing Damien there. After his confession last night, it's as if her mind is short circulated. She didn't respond to his confession, which he doesn't seem to mind. In fact, he is confident that he would make her fall for him and soon. With the rate he is going, she is sure he will fall for him. His late-night confessions, him opening up to her. Them sharing their most troubled past.
He is doing everything right and his efforts are genuine.
"Eva" Cassy hissed from beside her, snapping her out of her daze.
Eva looked at Cassy, only to find her professor standing right beside her desk.
"Miss Yoke, if you are not interested in my class, then you can go out" he glared at her.
Eva cringed with embarrassment.
"I am sorry Mr Martin" she
Damien folded her in his arms. This is the first time she touched him willingly. But he is not happy, because she is clearly scared of something. "What happened? You look a little pale" he asked her softly. Eva kept seeing him everywhere since this morning and his thoughts and his confession from last night are disturbing her too much. She thought she would become angry when she sees him the next time for disturbing her like this. But anger is the last thing she is feeling right now.She is feeling content and her stomach is fluttering with nervous excitement. Clearly, something changed between them last night. She is looking at him differently now. The concern in his eyes and the way his palm is spanning her small waist ani d the lack of distance between their bodies, she is noticing everything.His woodsy masculine scent which she began to love is soothing and it relaxed her instantly. She is sure he will take care of her no matter what. S
"Not again. Damien, you gave me a week remember? I still have 4 more days to go" she complained. Damien sighed and averted his eyes from Aaron. He looked at Eva and his hard eyes softened instantly. "Angel, I know I am not giving you many options recently. But trust me on this one. Aaron Rodgers is bad news. And I don't think it's a coincidence that he came to your campus today. Something is off here. Until I could figure out what the hell is going on, just trust me and move in with me. This is for your own safety" he explained to her softly. Eva huffed and turned away from him. That's when she saw Aaron in the side view mirror. He is glaring at them with a scary look in his eyes, which made her shudder with fear. 'What the hell is he doing? Why is the glaring at us like that? Is he insane?' Eva thought with a frown. That's when she remembered an old news about Aaron a year or two ago. He was a suspect in a murder case. At that tim
"Dad stop. Where are you taking me?" Eva resisted which forced Watson to stop. He looked at her with annoyance. "I need to talk to you. Come with me" Watson made up a story. Eva frowned at his explanation. "We can talk in my apartment" she pointed out. Watson pointed towards Cassy who is still standing by the doorway and looking at them with confusion. "Your roommate will be there in your apartment. I need to talk to you alone" he explained. Eva is finding everything so suspicious. If he ever wanted to talk to her, then he used to call her to the Yoke mansion. But this is the first time he came here himself just for the sake of talking. "She can stay in her room until we are done. I trust her" Eva pointed out. Watson glared at her. "But I don't trust your roommate. What is so wrong with coming with your father? Don't you trust me?" Watson decided to guilt-trip her, which always worked in the past.
"Oh really? I thought I saw your car passing through Mabel street. I was in that area, so I thought of giving you a call" Damien is pressing for information. He is anxious and he is feeling uneasy for some reason. He is restless as if something is wrong with his angel. When Watson heard Damien's words, he began to get tensed. 'What? He saw my car passing by Mabel street? If I agree with him now, then I will be in too deep trouble. I should get myself out of it. I don't even know the man who purchased Eva. I haven't seen his face properly and didn't even bother to ask his details. And moreover, if Damien becomes suspicious, then it's game over for me. I will refuse outright that I was not in that area' he decided. "What? Mabel street? No, i's been a long time since I have been to that area. Usually, Eva comes to the Yoke mansion for a visit. I don't go there unless it's necessary" Watson laughed it off like it's a joke. He can sense that
Eva woke up feeling dizzy and confused. She is lying on the hard marble floor. She looked at her surroundings through her still blurry vision. She is confused for a minute. She rubbed her eyes and looked once again. What she saw made her gasp with shock. Because she is currently sitting inside one of her old high school classrooms. Her classmates are sitting in their chairs like they used to sit and their teacher is standing there with one of her hands pointing towards the board, as if she is teaching something. Upon close observation, Eva noticed that they are wax statues. But they look so real, for a second she thought they are all real. Slowly Eva pulled herself up from the floor, as her heart pounded with fear and uncertainty. The last thing she remembered is being sprayed with something on her face by Aaron. She didn't forget that it's her own father who forced her towards Aaron's car. Tears of betrayal stung her eyes, as she remembered her father'
Aaron looked at Eva, who is laughing and crying at the same time. 'Everyone whispers that I am mentally unstable. But looking at her now, it's this girl who is not stable. She is laughing and crying at the same time he thought with a bored expression. If it's anyone else, they must have understood that she is breaking apart. Her heart is crying because the man she thought would protect her is the one who sold her off to someone else today. The trust and love she build-up for her father slowly came down crumbling piece by piece. Every piece that came apart is hurting her more and more. Her blind trust, love for that man came crashing down soundlessly, as she came to the painful reality of her situation. Eva wiped away her tears and composed herself. She looked at Aaron who is standing there looking unaffected and bored. "Why am I here? You bought me for 50 million dollars. Surely you must have planned something for me. What is it? After 6 y
Aaron is gaping at the wedding ring like a deer caught in headlights. Eva looked at her ring and smiled at it fondly. 'I never thought you married me to protect me from people like this. I always thought about how to explain this to my family and how to break this marriage. But now that I don't have the shackles of my family tying me down, I can truly appreciate it' she thought. After all, marriage is a big decision for anyone. And to Damien Bishop who is tied to another woman by a contract is even more difficult. But now, Eva can see that he truly loves her. If not, it's impossible to take such a big decision in such a short time. "Y...You are married?" Aaron stuttered with shock. "I am" Eva confirmed. Aaron is in a dilemma. He thought only Jake is the problem here. But she is already married to someone else. He remembered how Damien was touching her progressively. Aaron is sure it's not Jake whom she married. Because his men are follow
Aaron is sitting in his room with a panicked look on his face. He took Eva to a secluded island owned by his father. Even though it's impossible to normal people to trace her location, it might not be so hard for Damien. He is the kind of man who can sell sand in a desert and earn millions from that. 'I am sure Damien will find her. If he finds out that it's me who kidnapped her in the first place, he will definitely kill me. Even though I bought her from her father, no amount of papers will stop him from taking what belongs to him. And everyone will surely support him. He even controls the government and the cops. What to do now? How can I save myself?' Aaron began to get worried. Soon, an idea began to form in his mind. 'Damien will kill me if he finds out that I am the one who kidnapped her. If I kill Evangeline and threw her body in the ocean, then there is no one on this planet who can prove my involvement with her disappearance' Aaron though
