"This can't be good." Bryan murmured as he witnessed Eva being pulled by Jasper Kent to his car. Initially, Bryan left a few seconds ago but reversed the car back a few yards. Therefore, he can see Jasper Kent pulling Eva. Bryan was going after to find an alternative to tag Kent's car. He has to protect Eva whenever it might seem dangerous for her."What do you want to eat for dinner?" Jasper asked Eva. Eva glanced at him and shook her head."Nothing; I'm not hungry." She reasoned, then lowered her head instead."But this is dinner time. You must be hungry." Jasper insists on his offer. His Beta, Everest, was driving the car while Jasper and Eva sat in the back seat."Not really," Eva murmured. She didn't feel comfortable with Jasper now. Something different about him distanced her feeling somehow."I'm hungry, and I want you to eat with me." Eva chose to stay quiet and sat beside Jasper calmly.The car arrived at one of the finest restaurants in town─ Novecento, which Jasper has rese
Gabriel raggedly cursed when he heard about Jasper taking Luna to dinner. Moreover, it was a romantic one. Bryan was still on the phone, gasping and annoying while reporting it to Gabriel."Damnit. I'll be there soon!" Gabriel cut off the call and then strolled out of his office. He growled and clenched his fist. Cheyne entered the elevator, left his room, and saw his Alpha."Alpha!" Gabriel was in the elevator, so he didn't hear the call. Cheyne had no idea about Gabriel at all. But seeing his tense expression, I knew something should be happening. Mostly, it could have been a better one."Where's he going?" Cheyne murmured. He took another elevator to follow Gabriel.Unfortunately, Cheyne was unable to catch Gabriel's steps. Gabriel went off immediately with his car without a driver. An Epsilon who intended to go with Gabriel stood on the last stair of the main lobby, stunned. He stared at his Alpha, then turned to see Cheyne, who had just arrived at the stairs."What happened?" ask
Gabriel walked into the Novecento along with his Epsilon, Bryan Hunter. He came to a reservation waiter and asked for a table."I'm the owner of Xander Enterprise; I want a good table for myself," Gabriel ordered, as cold as he was. The waiter does not argue, like when Bryan came before. He nodded and asked him to follow. Hence, Gabriel witnessed something that boiled his blood."What do you think about my offer?" Jasper asked after a long pause from Eva. Eva glanced back at Jasper, who was waiting for her answer."I'm," Eva stumbled with her own words. Was this the right thing to do? Or she only made another hell hole; she doesn't realize."I need time to think. Moreover, I have signed the contract. It's not even a week yet. So,"Before Eva continued, Gabriel approached their table. With two hands in his pockets, he barged in arrogantly."What a good night to see you here, Kent. This is the place where you have dinner, huh?" Gabriel strokes in with a cynical, unprepared confrontation
A few minutes passed, and Eva was still scooping her dessert into her mouth. Although she lost concentration after she read Gabriel's secret message, Eva managed to remain calm. Eva was thinking about how to avoid him. As the shivers ran down her spine for no reason, Gabriel put his stern gaze up at her from behind. Jasper glanced, then glared at Gabriel, who kept his stare at his table. "What does he want?" he gritted annoyingly. Eva heard it and then turned back. Gabriel's eyes peered straight at her. She widened her eyes and then got back to stare at the dessert. "Don't think about it," Jasper added, as if he sensed Eva's discomfort. Eva smiled slightly, then bit her lower lip, thinking of something. "I have to go to the bathroom," Eva said before standing. Jasper smiled while nodding. She went to the women's restroom with her purse. Gabriel took a glimpse of Eva and waited for his moment. Bryan then turned back before taking his phone to type something. Not so long after, Jaspe
"It was such a pleasure. Thank you for having dinner with me," Jasper smiled when he escorted Eva to her door. Eva also smiled and nodded. Jasper was getting closer, then took her right hand to clutch it gently. Still, at her place, Eva didn't do anything didn't but get hung up by him."Tonight is one of the most wonderful nights ever for me. I want us to have more dinner like this tomorrow or in a few days." Jasper continued. Eva slightly frowned, although she kept her gentle smile to herself.Eva asked curiously, "What do you mean?"."I like you. I want you to be my girlfriend. We can try for a new relationship. I think that we can work it out, right?" Jasper replied to her confidently with his proposal. Eva promptly opened her mouth, stunned by Jasper's request."I," she had no idea what to say. Jasper got closer and grasped her hands now. Meanwhile, Eva got confused and awry because Jasper asked the same question as when they were at the amusement park."You may think it's too soo
Emilia couldn't believe it when she heard Eva's confession. She even opened her mouth in shock."What?" she shrieked in surprise."This isn't the first time he's asked me to be his girlfriend. Jasper once said the same thing when he took me to the amusement park," said Eva, adding to her confession. Emilia folded her arms across her chest again. She looked even more annoyed because Jasper had acted out of line."Then what do you say?" Emilia said. Eva shrugged her shoulders slightly."I haven't answered clearly. I've only said I don't want to be in a serious relationship." Eva replied more. She lowered her head slightly, then caught her hard breath. Emilia also felt somewhat anxious. It seemed like she was burdening Eva with something unnecessary."You know we came to Miami because we were running away from your father, right? All this time, we don't know whether he is looking for us." Eva returned to paying attention to Emilia's words. She has yet to nod or give a response."Then sud
None couldn’t rest or sleep well tonight after what they experienced in the restaurant. Neither does Eva and Jasper. Each one of them was thinking something different. Jasper was bottomless in his thoughts about convincing Eva to be his girlfriend. It would be easier for him to imprint her as his mate if she stayed close.Meanwhile, Eva was thinking about paying her debt to Jasper as quickly as possible; she also recalled the night when she lost everything. Deep in her heart, Eva felt that Jasper was not the person who took her virginity or molested her in the hotel. It was so hard to remember because Eva was sedated that night.“Who is the devil?” she murmured while lying on her right side. Her right hand grasped the edge of her pillowcase, and then she closed her eyes to remember. There were some glances, yet they blurred. She forgot the memories because they were so traumatic.She sighed heavily and then laid on her back, changing her position on the bed. She was so tired, yet she
Bryan reversed his car when he saw one of the Levantines approaching. They shouldn't catch him because he would pick up Eva, or everything would be exposed. Slowly, the car moved away because it had attracted their attention. Bryan needs to learn what the Levantine Pack is doing to the residents. Nevertheless, he had to consider Eva's safety the most important thing.Meanwhile, Emilia was dealing with Jasper, who came to her house early in the morning looking for Eva. Emilia didn't want to let the man take the chance at all. Emilia was so confident that Jasper was the person who had been chasing Eva all this time, or worse, he was the person who impregnated Eva."What do you mean by talking like that?" Jasper raised his tone. He never thought that Emilia could accuse him that way."I'm not accusing you. I knew you were distrustful since you paid for Eva's hospital bills. What exactly are you planning, Jasper?" Emilia blurted out with her arms folded in front of her chest. Jasper scoff
