Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Chapter 226: I Don’t Feel ready For This



Eve was pissed off and almost fainted from how angry and frustrated she was feeling right then.

Damon immediately held her around her waist and said smilingly, “It’s our wedding day, Eve! I know you’re stressed out and panicking about this whole pregnancy thing, but this is actually good. You’re not pregnant! We’re in the clear! So let’s just try to enjoy this day now, why don’t we? What do you think?”

As the guests left, Eve and Damon checked into the presidential suite at the hotel. When they got in the room, Damon suddenly realized that Eve was on the first night of her period. She may not be interested in having sex with him.

“You know I don’t mind that you’re bleeding down there at all, right? A real man braves the red tide.”

“Sorry, I’m not about to stain these pristine white sheets bright red. The hotel staff will never be able to get those stains out. It’s just… it’s gonna be too messy, Damon.”

She was about to stand up to leave, but Damon just grabbed her and pulled her into his arms and touched her hair gently, and said, “Eve…”

“What?” she said.

“I love you.,” he said.

She instantly looked up at him and then looked away immediately.

“Eve, anyway, I have married you,” he said in a low voice as he held her waist.

Eve covered her eyes and said quietly, “I’m not ready, Damon. I don’t feel ready for this.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Damon lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek and said, “It doesn’t matter because I love you.”

Once Brittany and Shannon turned four years old, Francis finally convinced Scarlett to have a wedding. On the plane to the island where the wedding was about to take place, Scarlett had slept like a log. Since the plane actually belonged to Francis, it was luxurious and decked out on the inside; all the guests walked up and down freely and downed champagne like there was no tomorrow. It was quite a different picture from any commercial flight.

Damon talked about business affairs with Francis and his brothers. Eve didn’t like the topic, so she stood up, walked to Scarlett, and woke her up.

“What the hell are you doing?” Scarlett said in annoyance. She had just gotten back from a business trip, and her jet lag was bad.

“Are you not looking forward to the wedding? Nervous? Or excited? Do you even have emotions anymore?” Eve teased her.

Scarlett rolled her eyes. She pulled the blanket back and lay on the seat, and said, “Why should I feel excited about some damn wedding? We have already had three kids. This wedding isn’t for Francis and me. It’s for everybody else. I’m not feeling any strong emotions about this wedding.”

Eve was in disbelief. “Oh, please, Scarlett. I was never sentimental about getting married, and even I felt all emotional at my wedding. I bet you a hundred bucks that you’ll end up sobbing at the altar. What do you say?”

“Did you cry on your wedding day?” Scarlett asked.

Eve rolled her eyes. “Of course, silly,” she said, “Everyone does! It doesn’t matter how unsentimental you are about your wedding or how doubtful you feel about the institution of marriage as a whole.” She sighed.

Scarlett just closed her eyes and said, “Don’t worry about it, as you know, I’m heartless. I won’t be shedding any tears. I’m just doing this wedding thing because it’s what Francis wants, and I want him to be happy. That’s all there is to it.”

At that moment, Bell joined them and sat next to Eve. After she had witnessed how well Francis had treated her all those years, she firmly believed that Scarlett would be moved to cry on the day of her wedding.

“Enough!” Scarlett rolled her eyes and said.

“Well, let’s just bet on it then!” Eve gave a knock on her head and said, “I mean, I know money is no object for you… so… if you cry, you will have to do a lap dance on the spot. If you don’t, we’ll be the ones doing the lap dance. What do you say?”

Bell was surprised and looked at her in shock and said, “Wait, what? Don’t tell me you’re being serious, Eve.”

Scarlett couldn’t help laughing and pointed at Damon with her mouth and said, “I’m afraid that you will be grounded again.”

“Bet or not?” she asked.

“You didn’t ask the others. If everyone agrees, I’m in.”

“Okay!” Eve snapped her fingers. After that, she rushed to join a group of women talking and giggling and told them about the grand bet.

Bell looked at those men over there and turned her head back to say to Scarlett, “I don’t think Francis will approve of this little bit of ours. You’d better behave yourself.”

Scarlett picked up her champagne and drank two swigs, and said, “Well, it’s our deal. It’s none of his business.”

Bell felt worried. She had a feeling that something unsavory would happen at the wedding.

After a five-hour flight, the plane successfully landed at the airport on the island, and everyone was very glad. They were all drunk on expensive champagne anyway and hadn’t bothered to consider the mechanics of landing on the island.

The wedding was arranged to happen two days after they had arrived on the island, which meant that that night and the next were reserved for the bachelor and bachelorette party.

In truth, Scarlett didn’t even want to have a bachelorette party. But Eve had been insistent, and she had gotten everything for the party-ready. Because Scarlett couldn’t change Eve’s mind, she just reluctantly agreed to attend the party.

“I have a bad feeling about it. You won’t do anything crazy, right?” Scarlett looked at her and said.

Eve smiled mysteriously, “Probably not, but maybe?”

Scarlett wasn’t sure she felt comfortable with what was transpiring. She felt uncertain.

For the next three days, the island was basically theirs. The beach was only available to the friends who came to attend the wedding.

Scarlett threw her small handbag on the sofa and then threw herself on the sofa as well.

“Mommy, look at the cloud. It’s very beautiful!” Brittany excitedly ran in and jumped on top of Scarlett.
