~ DAMIEN ~

I was in the middle of reviewing the building project budget for Eva's new company that I wanted to give her when my office door burst open without warning.

My Aunt Catherine swept in like she owned my office, she was followed by my cousins John and Vivi.

I didn't look up from my laptop. "Good morning to you too, Aunt Catherine. I wasn't aware we had a meeting scheduled."

"We don't need an appointment to visit family," she said, settling into the chair across from my desk. "Besides,

    ~ DAMIEN ~I was in the middle of reviewing the building project budget for Eva's new company that I wanted to give her when my office door burst open without warning.My Aunt Catherine swept in like she owned my office, she was followed by my cousins John and Vivi.I didn't look up from my laptop. "Good morning to you too, Aunt Catherine. I wasn't aware we had a meeting scheduled.""We don't need an appointment to visit family," she said, settling into the chair across from my desk. "Besides, this couldn't wait."I sighed and closed my laptop and looked at her properly. Aunt Catherine was my father's younger sister.On the surface, she looks elegant, but she is very sharp-tongued, and doesn't respect the boundaries of others.John and Vivi positioned themselves behind her like bodyguards.Those two were brats. I don't like them around me. "What couldn't wait?" I asked."We want to meet your wife," Catherine answered. "Properly. At a family dinner where she can act like a proper Blac

    ~ EVANGELINE ~The next morning, I stood in front of my closet staring at the rows of clothes. Today was the Lila's Fashion Magazine interview. I need to look perfect. Polished and powerful.I chose a tailored pencil suit in white with a creamy blouse underneath. The jacket had fitted shoulders that gave me an authoritative silhouette. I paired it with red pumps and minimal red sapphire jewelry along with my wedding ring.I pulled my hair back in a sleek low bun. I did my signature red lipstick with black smoky eye makeup.When I looked in the mirror, I saw a CEO. A woman who commanded respect. Not the scared girl who used to hide from her father and foolish ex.I grabbed my red clutch and headed downstairs. Damien was waiting in the kitchen with coffee."You look incredible," he said, his eyes traveling over me appreciatively."Thank you." I accepted the coffee he offered. " But I'm a little nervous.""Don't be. You're going to be brilliant."I nodded, though my stomach was still

    ~ DAMIEN ~I was in a meeting with George Farrah, heir to the Farrah Real Estate empire.George, like everyone else in the business world currently, wanted to be a sponsor in the Linden project.The project consisted of a fashion gala show where designers would showcase their work in a global forum that all sorts of tycoons and elites from around the world could attend.For such a large audience, just getting a table alone cost more than two hundred thousand dollars.Just imagine the thousands of people who would fill the hall that day, all paying that amount of money.And that wasn't even counting the designers who would showcase their work that people would auction for.I could already see that this was going to be a massive project.First, it was a smart move for Eva to insist we work together because working together brought more sponsors. More sponsors meant more income. Even the estimated profit of a billion euros was likely going to be far more than that."Mr. Blackwood," Geor

    ~ EVANGELINE ~Blaire arrived at exactly 2 PM in a black Lamborghini car.I was still in my studio, sketching preliminary designs for the collection I would like to use for the Linden project when she knocked on the outer door.I went outside and our new housekeeper, Mrs. Mex, was already bringing her to my studio. I nodded at her and she slipped back to the kitchen. Mrs. Mex was a very quiet woman. Damien had introduced her to me through a text after leaving saying she had been working for him and he couldn't just fire her. "Mrs. Blackwood? Mr. Blackwood sent me to escort you."I raised my brows. "Right. The shopping trip.""Yes, ma'am. He's waiting at the boutique."I grabbed my bag and followed her to the car.The drive took about forty minutes through the traffic. Blaire pulled up in front of an exclusive designer boutique on Madison Avenue called "Maison Laurent.""Mr. Blackwood just messaged me to inform you to browse while you wait," Blaire said as we entered. "He's being he

    ~ EVANGELINE ~My phone wouldn't stop vibrating.Even in my sleep, I could feel it buzzing relentlessly on the nightstand like an angry wasp trapped in a jar.I groaned and pulled the pillow over my head, vowing to murder whoever was blowing up my phone at this ungodly hour.The buzzing continued.Finally, I gave up. I sat up groggily, squinting at the sunlight streaming through the windows, and grabbed my phone.Fifty-three missed calls, one hundred and twenty-seven unread messages.What the hell?Before I could understand any of it, the phone rang again.Mrs. Harrington. Sleep left my eyes instantly. I sat up straighter and answered."Hello, ma'am.""I see you are still sleeping, young lady." Her calm voice came through the line with that tone that always made me feel like I was back in the mall working with her."Yes, ma'am." I held my breath.Mrs. Harrington always had that effect on me. I loved the woman, but she was freaking strict and she never called to chat."Do you know the

    ~ EVANGELINE ~I heard the penthouse door open with Damien's footsteps following in the hallway.I was still in the sitting room, staring at my phone, trying to process everything that had happened today. "Eva?" Damien called out."I am here."He walked in, loosening his tie. He looked tired but his eyes lit up when he saw me."How was the board meeting?" I asked."Fine. They'll get over it." He sat down across from me. "Will you be keeping any cars?"I looked away from him, suddenly feeling shy. "Yes.""Which one?" His tone sounded like he was smiling but I couldn't look to check. "I'm keeping the green one." I looked at him to see his expression. His entire face transformed. The exhaustion disappeared, replaced by genuine happiness that made him look younger."Really?" he asked."Yes. Really.""Thank you." He leaned forward. "Thank you for keeping it. And I promise, anytime I want to get you anything from now on, I will text you first. Ask permission."I couldn't help but smile

    ~ EVANGELINE ~ The room stayed frozen after Roman's question. "What about Lily?" Damien asked, still looking calm. I stared at him, curious about who this Lily was that made him tense up. "Well? Are you going to answer him?" Damien's face went cold. "It's none of your concern." "None of my
