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
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
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
Damien reached his cabin a little bit late than usual. He was thinking about taking another day off and spend with Eden but after hearing her, he couldn't think himself of doing it anymore. A file was opened in front of him but his mind was wandering about other obvious things. But the more he was thinking into the matter, the more he was enraged. Why wasn’t Eden seeing he was totally into her? Why was he being taken in the wrong way for whatever he did? When would he hear something good from her? When would she have a little bit of trust in him as in trust in them? He was hell worried for her whereas she was thinking he was spending his time with some other girl! Nathaniel entered his cabin knocking once. Placing a file on his desk, he sat across from Damien, waiting for Damien to acknowledge his presence but he seemed to be lost in some thoughts. Getting enough of his silence, he spoke up, "What's the matter? You weren't even supposed to be here today." Damien was startled for
Eden couldn't believe that paparazzi had already found them here. She turned to Damien who looked unaffected at the whole thing as if it were just a normal thing for him. But then he was most probably used to this type of thing by now. Not to mention he didn't just get the title of being one month prince out of nowhere. Besides, she had seen him facing journalists straight and doing lots of TV interviews in her short time with him. She was with him sometimes but her role was standing behind him as his secretary in a tailored suit. But today seeing her like this with Damien, they would never think of them that way for sure.Any moment now, she would be added to the list as one of the women, Damien had fun with.Just at the thought, she was hurt. She never thought things would end up like this for her. The excitement she felt earlier had died long back as her face got darkened in embarrassment and pain.Damien frowned at her expression as Eden had her head bowed down. He couldn't g
"You aren't peeking, are you?" Damien asked as he led Eden somewhere with his hand covering her eyes. As the air was gotten clear between them, they immediately remembered it was supposed to be their first date actually. Damien said he had a surprise for her. If Eden felt excited about it, Damien was somewhat nervous. He didn't let it get his best though. It was for the first time, he was doing it for a girl and he wanted Eden to enjoy it. "I am not, Damien." Eden smiled. She really didn't think of Damien doing this type of cheesy stuff rather she thought him to be rude, arrogant, selfish, in short, a self-centered person. She was happy that she was proved wrong though. "Wait, I may have to pick you up." Damien said and before Eden could say something, she felt his arms wrapped around the back of her thighs and shoulders hauling her up. A gasp left her mouth. "Relax." Damien whispered hoarsely and when he sensed Eden would open her eyes any moment, he spoke up again, "And don't o
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
The weekend was total bliss for Eden. She felt as if she was living a dream. Damien seemed to be the prince charming she was waiting for to come. 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
