Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Eve threw herself on the sofa and took her cellphone out, hoping to text her friends and warn them that she might be in some kind of danger. After that, she turned to play Candy Crush on her phone. Thank god there was an open wifi network at his house– Eve felt so uncomfortable and nervous being around Damon all alone.

Right then, Damon went to the bathroom to take a shower. As Eve heard him open up the door of the bathroom, Eve rushed to the front door. She was surprised to see that there was a coded lock on the inside– there was no way that she would be able to open this and get out. Her escape plan hadn’t been well thought out at all.

Eve felt disappointed. Her world felt like it was closing in, sending her to her knees. Meanwhile, from the secret control monitor in the bathroom, Damon was watching her every move. He grew angry to see that he was trying to escape.

Eve went back and sat down on the sofa in a huff. There was no hope. Ever felt guilty for nobody except Damon. While they had been husband and wife, Eve and Damon had many unforgettable happy times. Eve felt sad thinking about the countless nights Damon had probably had to spend all alone… all because of her.

Eve had grown up in quite a poor family; they had lived in a tiny one-bedroom apartment in a working-class neighborhood. However, having worked hard throughout school, she had managed to get scholarships to attend university. There, exposed to many new ideas and people from different places, Eve grew open-minded and unrestrained. She owned her sexuality and her choices– she became an empowered woman.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Unfortunately, it was that very trait of hers that Damon’s strict family could not handle. Sometimes, just staying in that house would have her breaking into a cold sweat. She felt constrained and straitjacketed, unable to live out her dreams and express herself. Each member of Damon’s family disliked her and looked down at her. They considered her a pauper with poor morals– a wayward, promiscuous woman better left to the streets.

But Eve was smarter than Damon’s family gave her credit for. She had experiences unlike any other, and boyfriends from all walks of life– gang members, politicians, professors… she wasn’t interested in money per se, just having a good time.

Eve looked up at the bathroom at the end of the corridor and felt a wave of deep anger rise within her. She twirled her hair around, thinking about all she had been through in life. It was outrageous that Damon thought he could treat her like this over some money.

“You won’t come up with any new ideas sitting idle!” Damon suddenly appeared before her. He was leaning against the wall.

“Well, I’m just a fool in front of you, aren’t I? So, please just tell me, what do you want from me? I can’t handle this weird limbo.”

Wearing a black silk pajama, he came over to sit down in the armchair and looked at angry Eve and said, “Well, considering that you were my wife, I don’t want to embarrass you, but you know my rules. I can’t forgive someone who betrayed me. What do you expect? Do you expect me to just act like nothing ever happened or what? Don’t be so naïve, Eve.”

Eve felt scared, and her palms get sweaty. She felt nervous.

Unlike Scarlett, Eve was more mature and knew much more about nefarious people like Damon. After all, Eve had witnessed Damon deal with his opponents and even seen him obliterate people with no remorse. On countless nights, Eve had stayed up wondering what she would do if he found out the truth about her. She was very scared and didn’t know whether to ask for his forgiveness or just escape and get as far away from him as she possibly could.

But right now, the situation was not good. It was not good at all, in fact.

“I’m a fool, Damon. I’m a fool. So please, let’s not do this any longer. Just tell me what you want.” She said as she clasped her arms tightly around her knees. She was trembling with nervousness now.

Damon naturally noticed her actions and felt surprised that she was so afraid of him.

“I want you to make it up to me. Because of your foolishness, I lost a lot. I lost my happy family and my lovely and beautiful wife. You have to make it up to me somehow.” He said as he put his glasses back on after wiping them off with the corner of his shirt.

She pursed her lips and asked bravely, “How? How am I gonna do that?”

“It’s very easy! Just make me happy! As long as you can make me happy, the one million dollars you owe me could be written off!”

Eve looked up and tried to calm herself down, and said, “You want me to sell myself to you?”

Damon just smiled and said, “You can interpret my statement whichever way you like, Eve. Anyway, I still miss you very much.”

Eve was pissed off, so she clenched her fists. She wished she could lunge at Damon and punch him right in the face.

Damon noticed that Eve’s fists were clenched. She was positioned as if she was ready to attack. He threw himself back on the sofa, and sitting with his hands behind his head, he said, “Hey, think about it before you do anything! You are no match for me! You know I won’t spare you when we get into the boudoir….”

Eve was outraged. She jumped on Damon, taking him by the neck, and screamed, “You bastard! Who the fuck do you think you are?”

Eve vented all her anger. She used all the strength in her body in order to strangle Damon. Yet, with just a flick of his wrist, Damon was able to free his wrists from Eve’s grip. Eve withdrew her hands with little yelps of pain.

“What a pity! If you were still my wife, I definitely wouldn’t do something like that to you!” He said, wryness in his voice.
