~Damien’s POV.
Hugely taken aback by Eva’s startling confession, Damien discovered he had to hold on to every atom of Self-discipline to keep his temper. He was surprised that his proposal was met with a negative response.
He rushed out of the restaurant that evening to cool his temper. He went ahead and had some bottles of drink. ” How could she reject me huh? , he couldn’t contain his anger. He has never felt the anguish of being rejected by a girl. He wondered why Eva had rejected him as he sips his drink with a frown.
Damien is the first and only son of ‘The Alexandros’ one of the richest and most famous families. His looks are like that of a model. His Short Black hair was a perfect match for his face. He had golden brown eyes and red thin lips. His nose was not too sharp but whichever way it was, was perfect. He sure knows that he is handsome enough, Head swiveled to look at him whenever he passed. Was it his statue? He damn has fucking six packs on his belly. All these thoughts were ringing in his head.
He was quite aware that Eva’s actions and words were just a way to push him away. Come to think of it who would give a dirty story about herself like that? He knew he has been rejected.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“The Alexandros ‘ is the richest company in the U. S. he is the heir. He will inherit it from his father only if he meets one condition which is to get a bride, If he doesn’t marry before his father’s demise then the company would be sold off together with its branches. That was his father’s warning.
He is twenty-seven and still single. He joined his father’s Company after his bachelor’s degree in Italy. Then he was about twenty – three years old. Although he wanted to further his education his mother’s death and his father’s persistence in him joining the Company, stopped him.

He took his jacket and stumbled out of the small bar. He barely finished five bottles of Alcohol and he couldn’t differentiate between a customer and the bar attendant. He managed to pay the bar attendant before leaving. He abandoned his car and entered a taxi to his Apartment.
An Apartment big enough to be a family house is where single Damien lives. it looks more like a penthouse. He flicked the light on and jump on his bed. Without bothering for food, he slept off still in his adorable and expensive suit. He has never done that before.
He woke up earlier the next morning. He left early for work. Having just completed the construction of his new hotel. He needed to be there early. His father would be coming too. Every new hotel was built to be more Outrageous and better than the last. “The Sandro hotel” owns the best hotel in the U. S as of present.
“Damien”, A Familiar masculine voice called out from the entrance of the hotel.
“Dad!”, he said with a smile. Getting up to hug him. “You are here. Do you like what you are seeing? “He asked turning round the hotel with his wide opened hands. He dragged a sit and ushered his father to sit.
“Of course I do. You are doing well my son .” he said. A waiter brought a bottle of wine and two glasses across their table.
“So I remember they say behind every successful man, there stands a woman “. Mr. Alexandros said as sipped the last drop of his glass. He scratched his grey but bush hair. Considering how grey it was, you might suspect it was dyed.
“That’s a different case for me dad”
“I believe you” he stood up and walks around the hotel to take a closer look.
“Sure you should” Damien followed him. They counted the whole room as they walk past each. It was thirty- five exquisite rooms in total.
“How was yesterday? … I mean the date” Mr. Alexandros asked. Damien knew he surely will ask about that, he already made up his mind about what he would say to him. ” Well dad, I don’t like her ” he finally voiced out, clearing his throat and avoiding direct eye contact with his father.
“You don’t like who?, Miss Huxley ?” He couldn’t contain his laughter. He was sure that he was lying. She must have rejected her like she always does… “Miss Huxley the most wanted bride in Denver?”.
” That’s absurd dad!, She might be the most wanted bride but I don’t want her, I see her more as an Asset than a woman “. An asset? That was rude. But Damien cared less. He wanted to convince his father enough. Even if it will involve badmouthing her. Truth be told, he would have married her straight away if she had given in. Or was she just playing hard to get? He wondered. If that was the case she won’t have said something silly, that would piss him off.
“Hmmm… whatever you say, I’m leaving. ” He said and headed towards the exit. “Try and see her more as a woman . Love Eva!!!”. He was almost shouting and stormed out of the hotel. His mood wasn’t pleasant. He always had this frown on his face except when he talked to his son. Damien was his only son. His only daughter, Camilla is much younger than him, she is ten years younger. she just finished high school…
She is the daughter of his second wife, who died while giving birth to her. Luckily for her, Damien considers her as his blood sister and not a step-sister. He treats her the way he would treat a younger sister.
Damien waved at his father’s car, waiting for it to finally drive off before continuing with what he was into before his arrival.
