Chap_3. Most Generous Offer
최신 업데이트:
2022-08-22 19:42:58Every person has someone in their life. Like really an annoying one. But strangely, their absence bothered us much than their presence.
For Damien and Nathaniel, Julian was the person. Three of them were cousins come best friends. They were sitting in the VIP lounge of the nightclub, Red Rose.
On some other day Nathaniel was of pretty understanding nature unlike Julian but on days like today, they were nothing but annoying altogether.
Since Clarke had left Damien with that condition, they were finding it really thrilling too much for Damien's irritation.
Where Damien was expecting his mother, Caroline to be somewhat supportive to get out of this, it came out to be she was more excited than his father Clarke and both of them in unison was hellbound to see him married and according to them settled down.
"Damien, so when are we getting the chance of being your best man?" Julian asked dreamily getting Damien pulled out of his thoughts and glared at him.
Nathaniel laughed out only to get him even more irritated but one cold look from Damien, his laughter came to an end. He asked pulling out a serious expression, "Damien, have you thought of a way out?"
"No." For the first time ever Damien was being clueless about what to do not to mention his irritation for that.
Etheridge logistics was built by the hard work of his father and he would was supposed to be make it even more successful. It was his father's dream. Since he heard his father saying that, it became his dream too.
And to prove his capability, he had given his five years there but then..
"Right." Julian again got in with his suggestion, "Girls are dying to get this opportunity, man. Just choose one of them."
Damien knew there were plenty of girls ready to be his but no one was meeting his expectation. It was not exactly the matter because he wasn't searching for anything in them when it came to girls. What's the point! All of them are going to be the same.
"I hate woman of clingy nature and even more those who have some ulterior motive up their sleeves." Swirling his drink in the glass, he was holding he said and took it in one go and poured some into the glass again.
"So, you need a girl who doesn’t give a damn for your looks as well as your billionaire heir status." Nathaniel stated thoughtfully but on second thought, he spoke up, "Do you think there is a girl of this kind? I don’t think so."
"Irrespective of your cruel and playboy nature, girls really like the idea to be with you even for a night." Julian added sounding excited, "And this time Aunt Caroline and Uncle Clarke will be supporting her. So, there will be no way out for you like really."
"Right." Nathaniel nodded at Julian but the thought of a very specific girl as well as a bright exception for his as usual known girls popped into Damien's mind.
Eden McBride.
She would fit the role perfectly. Her words from their meeting at that coffee shop got ringing in his mind, "To be very frank, I don't dislike you. But I am just not necessarily excited about your existence nor do I want to entangle yours to mine. I have my life planned out and I am happy with it. I can do really well without someone like you."
Though her words irritated him that time, now it didn’t sound that much irritating. Rather..
"Damien, are you even listening to me?"
Julian was still going on with something, that Damien had totally missed being zoned out. But he knew his words would be of no help to him even if they weren’t irritating.But it wasn’t something that irritated him now. What irritated him was, he would have to talk to her and the very notion that she would be pissing him off with her words and this time, he would be the one giving her the chance to do that.
He placed the glass on the table almost with a bang that the drink from it splattered and it was about to break down into pieces.
Julian and Nathaniel looked up at Damien, confused as ever. Shrugging, Damien got up, "Anyone needs a ride?"
"With that attitude of yours! No, thank you." Julian said and Nathaniel was second to nod at that.
"Well then." With that, Damien left the VIP lounge and made his way downstairs, his eyes searching for a specific figure in the club but got disappointed.
He, himself calling his father to ask him to set a meeting with her was impossible and his calling her for that was just out of question. His goddamn ego was concerned here.
"So is your life." A little voice buzzed somewhere in his mind getting Damien irritated to the core.
But still, he hesitated to choose either of the options, well aware he had to do it anyway.
Destiny seemed to be favourable to him this time strangely. His father called him to inform that he had to fit his big shoes for the next two days in the office after this weekend.
For a few ridiculous moment, he thought his father was going to put an end to his ridiculous demand of getting him settling down but no. He seemed to be adamant enough for that.
It's just Clarke was going out of the town with his wife for attending a programme or something.
Damien had always loved the loving nature of his parents which just increased to some extent this time as his work became somewhat easy. For these two days, Eden was going to be there as his secretary and he would really make a good use of this chance.
~~
Damien didn’t expect Eden to be this professional and serious with her job. He expected her to be somewhat clumsy that would have been more girlie and his forte to get her listen to him for whatever it was. But nothing of his anticipation got working with his girl.
As much as he was happy that she was what he would like as his secretary but on second thought, he was at a disadvantage here.
He wasn't a begging man and he was sure as hell, he wasn’t going to start being one with Eden.
So, he thought of the most generous thing offering her that she would never be able to decline.
Though he was sure, it would work, he had other ways as well to make her agree. Either way he was sure to have his way with her...

Today was the day when he would be taking vows for a lifelong commitment to his love without bothering to think about what the future was holding on to. But whatever be it, he would make it as long as Eden was with him. Suddenly, he felt like talking to Eden and called her immediately.Eden was just done getting ready and her friends were also out of her room when her mother entered. "You are looking so beautiful, honey."Her mother stared at her as she continued with her eyes getting glossy. "Time flies so fast, doesn't it? You were just a little girl and now you are getting married. I am so happy for you that you are about to start your new family with Damien. He really loves you a lot." Evangeline said. Eden could feel her mother was happy for her
Fake Fiancee Chap_48. His Sweet Heaven

The wedding of Damien was a dream come true for her and she was determined to make their special day the talk of the town for years to come. It was just two days now before the wedding and the preparation was going on in full swing. Damien wanted to get involved in some arrangements but with Eden's too much of worries and Nathaniel threatening to tell the truth about his donating kidney to his father, he didn't. Eden wasn't allowed to do anything. Her going to the office was prohibited as well. All she was asked to take proper rest or sleep which was necessary to get the bridal glow according to Caroline and her friends. Eden's parents couldn't be happier finding he

"Why?" Eden looked up at Damien, "Why did you do it?""What did I even do?" Damien tried to feign ignorance as he quickly threw his shirt on, his hands busy buttoning it up."About the kidney, you were the donor, right?" Eden snapped as she got up and walked closer. "Eden, I_""It should have been me. He is my father. You didn't need to be this way, Damien." Eden's heart started feeling heavy all of a sudden. She had read about the side effects of kidney donation. For her, it was okay but if something happened to Damien, how would she handle it knowing for her he was like that?"Eden, I just wanted to see you happy and I did what it took me for having your smile back." Damien said as he got near and cupped her face gently. He wasn't sure if he would do that but after seeing her breaking down on the sidewalk, it wasn't in him to stop himself from going down that route."Even if you have to hurt yourself along the way?" Eden asked. It wasn't like a question though. It was more of a sta

Eden tossed on her bed for hours wondering about the reason behind Damien's sudden mood change at the restaurant. Did she do something wrong? Was it about their early wedding decision? But he only said he wanted to marry her. Then_ The memory of her meeting Tristan popped into her mind. Did he see them together then? She wondered. It seemed to be making sense as just after that she found him in a foul mood. But Tristan was only wishing her luck with him. Anyways, if it was the matter, he should have just asked her about it. Shouldn't he? She reached for her phone to call him right then but the time was 1 in the morning and it changed her decision. She didn't intend to disturb his sleep. Taking a mental note to talk to Damien about it first thing after her going to the office the next morning, she left her mind at rest and at some point, fell asleep. The next day, when Eden entered Damien's cabin in the morning, he wasn't in yet. She set his desk and made her way out to make his c

With him, she totally forgot about her past with Simon. With Damien, she felt warmth, loved, and secured like never before. Not to mention, she loved the feeling. She felt like she could forget all her worries, her heartache and all. She felt like she was at the edge of the cliff about to fall, but with Damien behind her ready anytime to hoist her up. Damien's parents were back and they were angry with them for a while as well for not informing them about Eden's father. But then he was okay now and above that, they couldn't be happier seeing Damien and Eden this much affectionate to each other. Things took a turn in the other direction as Damien's mother proposed for the early wedding. They were left to take the decision of the wedding date and all by themselves though. It would have been easy for Damien if Eden would have opposed it as

The sun was down long back and the numerous stars in the sky were providing light making the night gracefully lit up. Eden and Damien were still sitting by the beach on the sand.Eden stared at Damien being amused as he laughed while sharing his happy times on this beach with his cousins and parents. It wasn't an arrogant smirk or something. The smile was genuine. It was for the first time she saw him opening up to her like this and not to mention she loved it. She would have fallen in love with him if she wasn't already.When Damien sensed her intense gaze on him, he smirked and before Eden could move her gaze away, he crashed his lips on hers. Eden was stunned for a moment but then she responded to his kiss with the same passion and intensity. Their lips moved in sync sensually. Damien's one hand trailed to her back pulling her closer, carefully resting on her hips, massaging the fabric of her dress.Though the touch wasn't direct, Eden felt the electricity flowing all over her body
