As Harriett drove off with the twins, it was finally just Evelyn and Damien that were left at the parking lot. Getting up from his knees, Damien finally remembered that he wasn’t alone and that Evelyn had been there all along.
“Evel-”
“We’ll talk about it later. Your parents are waiting.” Evelyn said with a straight face and walked towards the front door of the mansion.
“Welcome. I didn’t expect you guys to be this late.” Stacy forced a smile out as she reluctantly gave Evelyn a side hug.
“We had a small situation.” Damien answered and Stacy immediately understood that they must have bumped into Harriett and the twins. That made her feel happy as she knew that her son must have fallen at Harriet’s feet in front of Evelyn once again.
Judging from the scowl on Evelyn’s baked face, she wasn’t wrong.
“Errm.. thank you for inviting me over, mother. I can call you that, right? I mean, we’re about to be family so..” She laughed, pretending to like or care about Damien’s family.
All the woman wanted was their money. Nothing but their money.
Stacy wanted to puke hearing the word ‘ mother ‘ leave Evelyn’s mouth but she remembered that she was only putting on a show as her son requested so, she smiled.
“Of course, my dear. We might have started on the wrong foot but I’m sure with time we’ll get to understand each other. My son loves you, after all. It’s only right that as his parents, we accept you too.” Stacy blabbed, saying whatever she needed to.
Evelyn’s grin got wider as she heard Stacy speak. It felt like everything was happening all at once and if it wasn’t for how stupid Damien was around Harriett, she would have been right to say that her life had taken a good turn.
Soon, Thomas Daniels joined them and they all had lunch together. The Daniels did their best to keep their acting up and they were indeed successful. As soon as Evelyn was out of the house, the couple breathed in relief gave themselves a high five for a job well done.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Evelyn.” Damien said as he pulled up at her house. He couldn’t even care to apologize for his behavior when Harriett came around.
“Alright.” Evelyn smiled, waving her hands at him as she watched him drive off.
Evelyn wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t about to pick a fight with when he had just agreed to marrying her after all these years and lose him to Harriett again.
She was going to let the incident at the parking lot slide until she was sure Damien was fully hers.
There was only one way Damien would be fully hers and that was if Harriett is no longer in the picture. There is only one way that will be possible and it is if Harriett disappears so, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Must be a good day seeing as you finally remembered me.” The voice chuckled into the call, annoyance present in his tone.
“I don’t have the time for this. I have a job for you.” Evelyn rolled her eyes as she kicked her shoes aside, relaxing on her sofa.
“Look, Bethany. I’m not your dog that you can just order around. I’m sorry but I won’t be doing this job… unless I see you.” He suggested with a smirk, licking his lips as he remembered their last time encounter.
‘Fucking Idiot!’ She sneered and rolled her eyes.
“Fine. I’ll come to the building but you have to do this for me after we meet.” She agreed. She also needed to let off some steam after the frustrating encounter with Evelyn.
“Of course. A deed for a deed. I’ll see you this night, Bethany.” The strange man said and cut the call.
Later that night, Evelyn strolled into the building and rang the door bell to the house. A bare chested man came out with a smirk on his face and Evelyn instantly felt her insides jump happily.
This was the only reason she was still sane since Damien had refused to have sex with her.
After four rounds of sex and loud moans, Evelyn and the mysterious man finally slumped on the bed, their bodies wet with sweat and cum.
“I gave you what you requested, now, it’s your turn to do me a favor.” She trailed her finger along his bare chest as they both laid naked on the bed.
“Anything for you, princess.” He replied with a smile as he placed a kiss on her lips before squeezing her breasts lightly, prepping himself for another round.
Evelyn rolled to the other side of the bed and picked her phone before sending a text to his phone. He switched on his phone and saw that she had sent a picture to him.
“I want her gone until the wedding is over. I don’t care how long that might take but she should disappear until I become Mrs Daniels.”

After the visit to his parent’s house, Damien dropped by at the office for a meeting with the new executives and was shocked when he saw his brother, Adrian sitting on one of the chairs. He had no idea that he was back in New York as no one had mentioned it to him yet.
After the meeting, he waited until everyone was out of the room, leaving just him and Adrian. They both leaned their backs on their seats, each of them waiting for the other to speak.
“What are you doing, Damien?” Adrian was the first to speak up as he rolled his sleeves up casually, showing off his veiny arm which was similar to that of Damien.
It was unbelievable how much the two brothers looked alike. People often call them twins because of that but Damien was two years older.
“Getting my life in order.” Damien replied, giving his neck a small massage.
“Really? Like this?” Adrian laughed in disbelief.
“I really don’t want to involve myself in your affairs but you are tempting me, brother.” Adrian clicked his tongue, referring to Damien’s situation with Harriett.
“Refuse to be tempted then. I can handle my own problems.” Damien replied coldly without a single emotion in his tone. He knew that his accusations four years ago might have been wrong but things were different now.
Harriett was unmarried and even more beautiful. She was now more appealing than ever and every man around her wanted her. He knew that his brother was no exception.
Of course, he still had Tony to worry about.
Speaking of Tony, he hadn’t seen much of him for a while which was unlike Tony who couldn’t stay away from Harriett.
Even though he didn’t want to say it, the man bothered him.
What annoyed him more was that she would have been completely his if he didn’t foolishly let her go.
“You clearly do not know how to handle your own problems. Look at you pretending to marry Evelyn as a way of punishing her.” Adrian chuckled dryly before raising his eyes to Damien.
“A fucking stupid decision. I’ll be here when you lose Harriett the second time only, this time around, I’ll be there to sweep her off her feet.”
