Eva's POV It is the day of Damien and Maya’s engagement.I spent half the day at the spa. My best friend, Dana accompanied me.While I got my body tended to, I saw Dana's reflection through the mirror. She appeared to be deep in her thoughts.“Dana?”She turned to me abruptly.“Hey, you done?” She walked up to me, asking.“Not yet. After now, we'll have to check out outfits for tonight's party.” I answered and noticed that she had lapsed into deep thoughts again.The spa attendant left me in the tub to soak up the honey and milk.“Dana, are you okay? I noticed you haven't quite been yourself.”She sighed heavily and spoke in a rush, “Eva, do you really think you can trust this Enzo? I mean, we don't even know him.”“It's too late to be having thoughts now, Dana. I'm married to him and it's just for the purpose of the revenge.” I assured her.“I still think it's not all worth it.” She continued, “We don't even know if this is some kind of trap. I've never heard of the name Enzo Hartle

Damien's POVI stood before the French window, staring at the city of New York, sipping the wine from the glass.My mom was seated a few meters away, a cigarette in hand. The doctor has just discharged her from the hospital after a few weeks of illness.I was glad because my mother means the world to me and I would never let anything happen to her.“Damien.” She called. “I'm glad you have finally decided to move on with Maya. It's the best decision you've made.”My face remained expressionless.She continued, “The engagement party tomorrow is going to be lavish. New York has never seen what's coming.” “I planned just the best for you, darling.”After sipping from the glass, I spoke calmly without turning my gaze, “You should prioritize your health, mom.”“Nonsense!” She brushed it off. “I made sure to hire the best event planner and I oversaw every single arrangement down to the kind of flowers to be used.”“It's my only son's engagement.” She declared, “Nothing matters most.”I rema

Eva's POV After seeing the Constable with me, Bianca and her girls dared not lay hands on me. The humiliation on Bianca's face was a great satisfaction for me. I turned and walked away triumphantly, the bag in my hands.If it were before, the warden would have scolded me for coming late but she did not say anything and simply took me a hotel room to spend the night.“A car would pick you up tomorrow morning.” She said once I'd been lodged.I nodded and stepped into my bliss. After three years of torture and poor living, I find myself in the luxuries of a comfortable hotel room.A phone was placed on the bed. After a thorough shower, I took dinner and turned on the phone.The first thing I saw was the picture of my Caleb and Dana rescued. They were on a dinner table, having dinner. The bandage on Caleb's head showed that they'd already been taken care of.I couldn't be more grateful to Enzo. He had to be my guardian angel.A text message followed, “Get ready by nine tomorrow. I'll pi

Eva's POV.He turned and stared at me.“I will marry you, Enzo.” I said, “If possible, right away. Can we save Dana and Caleb?”“Yes. I'll have my guard on it.” He answered, pulling out a document from the suitcase and handing it to me.“I imagined you wouldn't want to waste anymore time, so I already had our marriage certificate prepared.”I took it and collected the pen he offered. I read through the certificate bearing our names.Enzo Hartley and Eva Cole. It already has his signature.I launched into deep thoughts that were clouded with my brother's bleeding head. Is there anything more important than their safety?I would lay down my life any day for my brother. Marrying a stranger to aid my revenge should not cause any worry.With that, I signed the certificate. “I'll be back in a few hours.” He said to me before he turned to leave but I grabbed his arm.As if reading my thoughts, he said, ”Don’t worry, I'll save them.”I let go off his arm slowly, nodding.As I returned to the

Eva's POVClank!The warden's baton hit my cell. I looked up, expecting another taunt or to be dragged out and whipped for rules I never disobeyed. Instead, she said, “You have a visitor.” I stepped out of the cell in my tattered prison uniform that clinged to my lean frame. My hair fell messily over my face as I followed the warden to the visiting area, wondering who the visitor was.Except for my best friend Dana and my brother, Caleb, no one else has visited in the past three years. Of course no one else could visit, I was an orphan and the man I loved put me in here.I stopped upon seeing the handsome man in front of me. He was oddly familiar yet I couldn't place where I'd seen him.A strand of his jet black hair hung above his brows, casting a casual and composed aura around him. His piercing green eyes met my blue ones at once.“You need to sit, Eva.” He spoke, his voice reverberating in the cold room.“Who are you?”He tilted his head lazily and said, “There's only one way t
