Matthew slammed his hand onto the table, the water on his cup swishing from the momentum.He glared at his daughter with so much intensity, one would think she killed his firstborn. "It seems I haven’t disciplined you well enough. To talk back to your father and even dare to interrupt me, it seems you haven’t learned your lesson.""I’ve raised a brat like you for twenty-three years, and this is what I get in return? A disappointment of a daughter and a failure of a woman. No wonder you were abandoned by your fiance. Disrespectful and rude, you sure have a lot of guts." He seethed, each word going through one of Eva's ears and out the next.She looked at him, bored. "I’m glad you know. And as for my fiance, it's not my fault he doesn't have a jewelry maker's eyes, if not he would have been able to see the hidden gem in me. Something you are too blind to see as well,my father.." She said, crossing her arms. Despite the prickling pain in her heart, her face remained haughty and passive-a

"You see it as sass, I see it as a genuine question." She shrugged, much to his dismay. "Oh, and my visit to the house you're so hung up about was only because of my brother. Trust me, I have only one more visit to make to that place and it's the last time you see there. Besides, you should thank me for coming home, if not your mistress wouldn't have been able to successfully hook me in another annoying date.” Eva added, completely disregarding her father's warning and keep addressing Laura as a ‘mistress’“Evangeline Carter! How dare-" "Besides, you’ve never helped me before in the past. Why start now?" She cut him off before he could complete his words. She turned her back to him and walked away to hail down a cab. However, before she had the chance to do so, Dylan stepped up."I’ll drive you home." He was obviously worried about her. It was already late at night and she had already experienced enough trouble.Getting into a taxi right now would be very dangerous, especially for a

“I am interested now. And if this turns out to be true, then it's the perfect place to start taking back what was stolen from me.” Eva replied, her eyes darkened dangerously."First of all, before I tell you if it's true or not. Tell me what was the exact reason you married Damien?” Nathalia inquired.“I told you already, Nathy. I'm done regretting and beating myself up Nathy. It's time I leave up to that reputation that everyone knows me as." “And that is…..?" Nathalia trailed off, she wanted to get a real response from Eva, that way she would know that her Eva was finally over Mark.“My position as the Queen of Socialites. Don't you think my throne has been resting all this while? Everyone sees me as an evil, wicked, vicious, spiteful, jealous woman, so why should I try to convince them? Rather than convincing them that I'm not, I would just expose the people that they think are the heroes.” A sinister smile graced Eva's face.“That is what I'm expecting to hear! Finally I have my

After three days.The Black mansion was in chaos. The old butler can’t control the mansion’s wild princess anymore. Two days ago, the butler mentioned that Damien was actually taking such a long time whenever he goes abroad and he said that a month was surprisingly the shortest, making Eva shocked because she was told that he would take a week before he comes back. She really needed to discuss her plan with him immediately. However, at the same time, she was glad, for she didn’t expect that she would be given so much time to prepare for the approaching battle and prepare how she would tell him. Being jobless for the past few days, she then came and insisted on making some changes in the mansion’s garden. She wanted the dark, chilly garden to turn into something romantic. She wanted to add some colors in its monotone look. She wanted to transform it into a perfect dating spot for future purposes. However, she didn't know that this garden would surely come in handy for her.Well everyo

“It's a lot of things so I hope you're not busy? If you are then we can talk about it tomorrow.” Eva glanced at him. The discussion isn't a short one after all. "I’m not.” Damien shook his head which was clearly a lie. He had a pile of work waiting for him to do in his study room. “Okay. First of all, I'm sorry about what happened earlier at the garden. I guess you were looking out for me but I misunderstood you. I would have apologized earlier at the dining table but you already got up to leave." Eva started off, she was feeling guilty at the way she had spoken to Damien at the garden and it's one of the reasons why she had been staring at him when they were eating.Damien frowned when he heard Eva. Did she think he was angry at her? However, he decided to use the situation to his advantage.“Is this how you plan to apologize?” Damien asked, making Eva look at him with a raised brow."What do you mean? How else I'm I supposed to apologize?" She asked back and just like that she di
