Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

When she left Damon’s house the following day, no one stopped her. She strode out of the house and stopped a taxi from going home.

When she arrived home, she found that her mother was out on a date and had not returned home. She went into her bedroom and changed into something more comfortable. After that, she put on her earphones and headed for the kitchen while swaying her head to the music.

In the following months, nothing much happened, and Damon didn’t show up at her house or try to get in touch with her. She didn’t go on any dates either. She mostly kept to herself those days.

After a pause, one morning, Eve caught up with her mother for breakfast. With a magnificent spread of imported meats, cheeses, and bread in front of the table, Eve’s mother talked excitedly about her new boyfriend. But Eve wasn’t really listening carefully; she just kept nodding her head and occasionally interjected with a surface-level question.

All of a sudden, Eve covered her mouth and felt a little queasy.

Eve took a sip of her milk, hoping it would calm her gag reflex, but she spits it right out. She ran to the toilet and tried to throw up, but nothing came out.

Her mother leaned against the door of the bathroom and casually said, “You’d better see a doctor, Eve. I think you might be pregnant. I remember when I was pregnant with you…” She sighed, “I can’t remember a single day I didn’t wake up wanting to vomit my guts out.”

Eve was freaking out. How could she have been so stupid? Why hadn’t she made sure to use contraception while she was having sex with Damon? She cursed herself for having been so very careless.

Eve and her mother headed to the gynecologist right after they were done with breakfast. Sure enough, the results stated that Eve was indeed pregnant. The doctor had been unequivocal about it.

As they walked out of the clinic, Eve was completely quiet. Her mother suddenly piped up and said, “Eve, talk to me. Just say something. Whatever you want to say, just say it. I just have one thought on this whole thing: you can’t get an abortion. I just… I just can’t let you do that to my grandchild, Eve.”

Eve touched her belly and felt more confused than ever. What was she going to do?

Damon came to Eve’s house the next day. After he had a long talk with Eve’s mother, he took Eve away.

Inside Damon’s car, Eve was still confused, but unfortunately, she didn’t remember if she had had her period last month or not.

As the car drove towards the Marriage Registry Office, Eve was lost in thought. She didn’t realize where Damon was taking her until they got there.

“Hey, what the hell are you doing?” she asked.

“Getting our marriage license registered!” he answered promptly.

When she heard that, she felt as if someone had shot an arrow right through her chest. She felt physically pained by Damon’s words. She grabbed Damon’s sleeve and pleaded, “Listen, let’s go to the clinic and let me take a retest. I can’t be pregnant. The doctor must have made a mistake. Maybe it’s just… just food poisoning… or appendicitis…” Eve was fumbling for explanations.

“Look, Eve, I spoke with your mother, and we both think the most elegant move at the moment would be for you and me to get married. You’re not getting an abortion. It’s up to you if you want to get married or not. All I know is that I want custody of the child. You’ll have to give up custody, alright? You hear me, Eve?”

What Damon said had stirred a storm in Eve’s heart. She didn’t want her child to grow up like she had– illegitimate and abandoned. She couldn’t do that to an innocent child who knew nothing of the cruelty of the world.

Therefore, she gave in. She loosened his sleeves and said, “I didn’t bring any form of identification with me…”

“Your mother handed me your driver’s license before we left your house,” Damon said.

Eve pursed her lips and gave him a look.

Their wedding was hastily planned, but it was still a huge one; it caused a huge stir in the whole city.

Eve had hardly been the kind of girl to dream about her wedding, but she had to admit that her wedding dress, wrapped up in the prospect of actually getting married, was making her deeply sentimental. The white dress was complete with a sweetheart neckline and fishtail; it made Eve look like a stunning, seductive mermaid.

Waiting at the altar, Damon looked very handsome himself. He was suited up in a classic tux, and a lovely red rose peeked out his pocket. He was gracious towards all the guests and treated Eve, his lovely bride, with utmost tenderness and care.

As the wedding was over, Eve took her bridesmaid and rushed toward the washroom.

When she finished, she stood up and widened her eyes in surprise. Out of nowhere, her period had arrived.

“Eve, are you OK?” the bridesmaid asked from outside the stall.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Lisa, do you have a tampon on you?” Eve asked hastily.

That’s when Eve realized that she had been cheated and tricked by Damon. She came out of the washroom and stomped away to Damon, who was standing in the middle of a large group chatting with friends.

“Excuse me!” she smiled at others and took Damon by the hand, and continued, “Would you mind if I borrowed him for a few minutes?”

“Of course not, go ahead!”

Damon asked gently,” What’s wrong? Do you feel sick?”

Eve gritted her teeth and said, “Just tell me about my pregnancy, are you behind this?”

“What do you mean?” Damon frowned.

Eve almost wanted to jump on him and strangle him. She roared, “My period came. I am not pregnant! You made the doctors lie to me, and you lied to my mother, too! How could you do such a thing, Damon? Don’t you have a conscience? What the fuck is wrong with you?”

Damon nodded and said, “Eve, I didn’t go tell every doctor in the city to lie to you. Don’t be ridiculous. I’ll go to the clinic and lodge a formal complaint against them for giving you a fraudulent diagnosis. I’m a victim in this just like you are.”
