“No. You listen to me. I know I don’t belong here, in your high society, between elite people. But you don’t have to rub it on my face as you just did in front of your friend.
Anyway, what could I expect more from a heartless man like you? So now I am leaving for LA, and you stay here with your friend and enjoy your so-called honeymoon."
Before Eva could move forward, Stephen held her close by her waist. Till now, Eva kept talking in her rage. She didn’t even notice his reaction but now, looking at his red eyes and heavy breathing, she understood she enraged him to the highest point
“Heartless.. Okay, I agree. I am heartless, as I lost my heart to you at our very first meeting. And what do you think I married you just to help your dad and to keep you safe? No, Mrs. Smith, I married you because I am madly in love with you.”
Eva gasped at his words. Stephen exhaled a breath to calm his rage, then he noticed her scared face. He just wiped her tears with his thumb and get settled on the couch, pulling her with him and making her settle in his lap
“I know you don’t have any feelings for me, and I don’t blame you, as I am terrible at expressing my emotions. I don’t want to push you to accept me or love me, but at least you can trust me. I know for now everything is difficult for both of us, but you have to keep trusting in me. “
Eva kept listening to him with her eyes down; she could sense the honesty in his words.
“We both are not interested in the Hudson Empire, but my only interest is to keep you safe from them. And for that, we have to face them. as we don't have any other option in hand.”
“I called Samantha to help you. Her experience in this field allows her to guide you the best. And trust me, I never, in my thought, insulted. I am so sorry I offended you.”
Eva gave a nod to him, so Stephen continued
“I just thought of something to finish this Hudson problem forever, but for that, I need your support and trust in me. Don’t trust me just because I am your husband; trust.
Me as your friend. Can you do it for me?”
Eva nodded and Stephen gave a smile at her
"Remember, I love my clumsy, naive Eva the most, but now it’s compulsory to face the world; you must keep carrying a facade of a tough and smart businesswoman
So now are you ok with Samantha or should I send her back? “
Eva gaped at him and told him,
“Sorry for losing my cool, and I trust you, or else I should not have married you. Don’t send her back. I am fine with her.
‘Thank you, dear; now just freshen up and meet us in the hall.’
Eva nodded, and Stephen left the room. Soon after, Eva attained the living room and she first
reached near Samantha to apologize
“Sorry for being rude."
Samantha patted her shoulder and told her, “it’s ok, I understand, Now shall we begin?“
Eva gave a nod. The rest of the day, Samantha kept giving her guidance. At first glance, Eva was believing her as an arrogant lady, but to her surprise, she was very sweet with her
The way she detailed her behavior, communication skills and also how to carry herself confidently
Eva kept listening to her every word with interest. She was feeling like Samantha was introducing her to a new world which follows different rules and regulations
Chapter 52: Drunk
That night at the dinner table, Stephen noticed Eva got quite close to Samantha as they were busy chatting like long-lost friends. Stephen was feeling like a third wheel on the table., but he was relieved that Eva got comfortable with Samantha, as it will help her shortly
Samantha was going to stay for one night as the next day she was leaving for LA. After finishing the dinner., Eva made a strange demand that she wanted to spend some more time with Samantha
Stephen didn’t object, as she was looking very cheerful today, so he wished the ladies’ good night and left for his room
Samantha and Eva got settled on the swing placed on the beach. It was night, and the sky was full of stars. Suddenly Samantha thought about something and ordered the maid to bring something
