Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

When Scarlett pushed the door open, she thought that she would see a pale and weak patient lying on the bed; however, she saw Eve playing video games happily while lying in bed.

“You’ve gone too far. How can you play games at this moment?” Scarlett said angrily as she snatched the PSP from her.

Eve looked at her surprise and said, “What brings you here? You are carrying a baby right now! I’m fine, and you’d better go back home quickly and just rest, Scarlett. For god’s sake, it’s like you just don’t know how to rest.”

“Eve, I’m here because I’m worried about you. I heard that you… you jumped out of a window… is that true? What happened? Why didn’t you call me? Why didn’t you try and reach out? Eve, I need to know what’s been going on with you. Why would you do something so stupid?” Scarlett felt her face become hot. She was angry, but more than anything, she was hurt that her best friend in the world had wanted to kill herself, and Scarlett had been nowhere to be found.

“Is that what he told you? That’s ridiculous!” Eve said in surprise.

“Isn’t it?” she doubted.

“Of course not. I accidentally fell down as I was trying to escape. I’m not tired of this wonderful world, why would I end my life?” Eve said as she jumped up from the bed in anger, seemingly forgetting about the wounds that ran up and down her legs.

“Take it easy!” Scarlett stared at her angrily and said. She looked at Eve’s legs, which were covered in bandages, and asked, “Did you manage to fracture both of your legs, Eve?

“Yeah. See, my elbow is hurt as well,” she said casually.

“When did you come back? Did Damon force you to come back?” Scarlett asked.

“Of course. Damn it, I hate him!” she punched the cushion next to her angrily.

“I was told that you refused to eat, is that true?” Scarlett asked.

Eve just rolled her eyes and said, “Well, I’ve suffered so much, I gotta take this opportunity to blackmail him and make him hurt like he’s made me hurt. Anyway, I’m tired of staying here. I just wanna get out as soon as possible. I’m not interested in making this place feel comfortable and homey, you understand me?”

Scarlett felt a tinge of sadness for the plight of Damon. There he was, hopelessly in love with Eve, who wanted nothing more than to be out of his life. For good. She realized that their relationship, despite some superficial similarities, was actually nothing like her relationship with Francis. With Francis, she had trust, stability, and security at last. Their relationship would not meet the same fate as Eve and Damon’s relationship.

After that, Scarlett became serious and said, “Eve, listen, I need you to know that I care about you. I think you gotta make the adult decision here and have a heart-to-heart with Damon. You are not getting any younger, and neither is Damon. In fact, he’s already pretty damn old. Instead of wasting each other’s time, you gotta cut this thing off and end it for good. It’s toxic. You can’t keep living your life in the spaces between this eternal tug of war you got going on with Damon. Break up and move on.”

“You think I don’t want that? If it was not for him pestering me, I’d already been with someone else.”

“You still love him, am I right?” Scarlett asked.

“I don’t know…” she said, clearly frustrated with herself, and then she looked up and said blankly, “In the past years, he has been chasing after me all the time, and because of that, I have forgotten how it feels when we are together. All I know is the chase.”

“Just give him or yourself a chance. Stop running away like that. If you didn’t want to deal with his family, you could just leave them to him to handle. Just trust him once.” Scarlett said.

“Are you here to persuade me to get back together with him?” Eve turned around and said.

Scarlett shrugged her shoulder and said, “Well, I just don’t want my best friend to miss her happiness, so I just want to give her a hand. I’m not a huge fan of this complicated sitch you’ve got going on with Damon, but I don’t want you to lose out on joy. Chase your joy, Eve.”

When Eve heard that, a smile spread on her face, Scarlett held her hand and said in a low voice, “Just let him in, and let him promise you the future.”

Eve licked her lips and planned to say something, but after a second thought, she hesitated and stayed mum.

“Speak up! What is it? Just say it already.” Scarlett said angrily

“Well, I’m just ashamed… I don’t deny that I still have feelings for him,” she said, embarrassed.

Upon hearing that, Scarlett clenched her fist in anger.

At this moment, the bedroom door was opened, and Damon turned up at the door. He smiled brightly at Scarlett and said, “Thank you!”

Scarlett just stood up and smiled, “Well, I was just trying to help!”

Right then, Eve understood that Scarlett had been rooting for Damon the whole time. Eve was very angry and really wanted to shout. As Scarlett was about to leave them alone, Eve just grabbed her wrist and said, “Don’t go!”

Scarlett felt surprised and saw eagerness in her eyes.

Damon said, “It’s okay if you hang around here, Scarlett, I don’t really mind… I suppose I need a witness here, too.”

Eve was pissed off and punched the bed angrily and said, “Damon, you are being unreasonable! And you can’t break the rules!”

“What rules?” he chuckled.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“We are divorced. And you are just my ex-husband, that’s the rule,” she growled.

“Who told you that an ex-husband couldn’t chase after his ex-wife?” he smiled with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Eve started sweating and felt like she would never escape this endless loop.

“Eve, you gotta marry me again, do you understand?” he said.

“Damon, don’t be so cocky! I can marry anyone in the world. Why would I choose to marry you? I really don’t want to face your family…” she said as she stared at him angrily.
