Hidden Heiress Rising: Married to my Ex-Husband’s Uncle Chapter 53
~ EVANGELINE POV ~I picked up the folder, and it was heavier than it looked.I opened it and read the header, then read it again because the first reading didn't fully sink in.The Linden contract.I knew this contract. Everyone in the European fashion world knows about this contract. It was the kind of distribution deal that did not come available often and when it did, the names competing for it were not small. John Boldwin had mentioned it at his party, congratulating Damien and also indirectly insulting me then.And yet, here it was on the dinner table in front of me.I looked up at Damien."Why are you giving this to me?"He looked like the question had not been part of his planning. His hand went to the back of his neck and he took a moment before answering."I did not know I needed a reason to give you something."I gave him a look that said ‘really bro.’"Okay, fine," he said, lifting his hands a little. "I got the contract for you before the Isabelle situation started. It

~ DAMIEN'S POV ~The hotel was quiet, just the way I wanted.I had cleared it earlier that morning before leaving because I had planned to surprise Eva.Give her the news of Alexandre being dealt with, and her winning the competition, then support it with the Linden contract. But Alexandre, I do not have.Regardless, I still wanted us to have the evening to ourselves. I planned on using the kitchen on our floor without being disturbed by staff and security.Eva went to shower, and I went to the kitchen. I had watched four videos on the subject over the past week and had taken what I considered to be reasonable notes.The recipes I had chosen were not complicated, so it was going to be easy. I was not attempting to be impressive.I just wanted to make food that was edible and warm and made with my own hands rather than ordered from somewhere.I entered the kitchen and started making the seafood pasta I had planned. An hour later, I looked at what I had made and felt satisfied.I did no

-~ EVANGELINE POV ~I found the room number Roman had sent me and stood outside the door for a moment before pushing it open.Marty was propped up against the pillows with his head bandaged and his eyes closed, and Roman was beside the bed in the chair closest to him, holding his hand with both of his, his head bent forward slightly like a man in the middle of a private conversation with himself.Neither of them heard me come in.I stood in the doorway and looked at them, and my chest tightened as thoughts of how Marty almost died because of me filled me.The tears I had been holding since the corridor in that building, since Alexandre's voice and all the possibilities that I might not have made it back, began streaming down my face. I could not stop them.I pressed my hand over my mouth as a small sound tried to escape. Roman looked up.He saw my face and stood immediately, releasing Marty's hand with a gentleness I registered even through the blur of what was happening to me.He cro

~ DAMIEN'S POV ~I gave Gustavo twenty-four hours.Not out of generosity, but out of strategy. A man who has been given time to think about what is coming makes worse decisions than a man who is caught unprepared.And I wanted Gustavo to have had time to think about it. I wanted him to sit with the possibility of what I could do when I arrived at our second meeting.When I got there, he was waiting in one of his casinos.His men were positioned around him. He even managed to look unbothered, even though I could see the lines between his eyes, a tell I had come to recognize as him being unsettled.He was not as comfortable as he wanted me to think. Good. I had had enough of him.Roman was standing at my right while Nero was at my left. The rest of my men positioned themselves at the exits before Gustavo's people had time to think about running if it came to that.I sat down across from him. Gustavo looked at me."Back so soon," he said."I told you I would be."He studied me for a mome

~ EVANGELINE POV ~"Mom, help. Alexandre came into my room again last night. You need to do something."My mother was at her vanity, running a brush through her hair with the unhurried patience of a woman who had decided the conversation was not worth interrupting her routine for."Eva, darling. What exactly do you want me to do?""Talk to him. Talk to Dad. Just do something." I sat on the edge of her bed, pressing my hands together in my lap. "It is not normal, Mom. He comes in and he won't let go of me. He makes me call him honey. He won't let me use his name. He holds onto me and I can't make him leave my room and it scares me."She set the brush down and looked at me in the mirror."You are twenty years old and you are still behaving like a child." Her tone was not unkind. That was almost the worst part about it. She said it the way someone states an obvious fact. "Alexandre loves you. That is just how he shows it. If I had a brother who loved me the way he loves you, maybe I wo

~ EVANGELINE POV ~ I didn’t plan it. The feeling simply would not leave me. His hands. His voice. That scent stayed on my skin no matter how many times I scrubbed in the shower. I tried to ignore it at first. I showered again, changed clothes twice, but nothing worked. The sensation stayed under my skin like something alive and kept eating away at me. The harder I pushed it down, the stronger it grew and puke. So I went to him. Damien was in the adjoining room on a call. When I walked in he noticed me right away, not because I made any sound, maybe it was how I stood there. He ended the call without another word and came toward me. For a moment neither of us spoke. He looked unsure whether he should reach for me or stay back. I noticed him lift his hand and then drop it again. My fingers stayed curled into my palms, pressing hard enough to ground myself through the discomfort. “I can still feel him,” I said at last, my voice low. Damien’s whole body pulled back slightly.

~ EVANGELINE'S POV ~My head was pounding when I opened my eyes. I instantly regretted it as sunlight streamed through the windows like tiny knives stabbing my brain.Fuck! Where was I?I looked around and noticed I was in a different guest room. This wasn't the room I had been staying in.Wait. Ho

~ DAMIEN'S POV~ I stared at my laptop screen but couldn't focus on the words. The events of yesterday still played in my head and I couldn't get the images out of my mind. My head kept playing out an imaginary Eva standing alone in that ballroom. Surrounded by our enemies. I even saw a video of

~ EVANGELINE ~ "You're doing fine." I turned around and saw Roman. I raised my brows in question at him. Understanding what I meant, he quickly replied. "Damien asked me to keep an eye on things." "I can handle myself." "I know. But tonight's going to be a little complicated. Trust me on t
