According to the plan, she has to go all dressed up to a birthday party of her friend and will meet Ayden on the way. The NSF knew that Ayden and his guys would be there and hence planned this.
They estimated that once Ayden will see Eve, he will take her to his place, and then, Eve will do what she has been taught these last 5 days. All Eve has to do is act like the naive girl she already was. She was clad with the tracking device and the other devices she has to install there.
"Are you okay, Evelyn?" Stefan asked.
"Yes." She wasn't okay at all and it reflected clearly on her face. She was trying to stay calm.
"Don't worry, Eve. Everything will be fine." Phoebe said while patting her shoulders. She has always supported Eve. She actually felt bad for the girl and thought of Eve as her daughter.
Stefan seemed surprised after seeing them bonding. He has warm feelings for Eve and even he felt guilty that he had to persuade her to get this mission done.
While Eve was depressed thinking about how things will unfold. But then she reminded herself that she was doing this for her family and friends and calmed herself.
Phoebe accompanied her halfway and then she left alone to the determined place. She walked for some time and found Ayden at some distance in a jeep with his guys.
'Pull yourself together. You can do it. You are doing this for your loved ones.' With this thought, she marched towards him.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where House of Cards Resort is?" She asked the man sitting on the passenger seat, ignoring Ayden.
"Go straight on this road." He pointed towards the way.
Ayden gazed at her with eyes full of admiration. He was completely knocked off by the beauty in front of him. He didn't say a word and stayed hidden. He has other plans for her.
"Thank you so much." She said and walked towards the road.
She walked on the empty road while the jeep followed her. The place where she asked the address was a marketplace, full of people and now she was in a quiet place.
After some time, the jeep which was following her stopped, and Ayden came out. He walked towards Eve and grabbed her hand.
Eve got frightened. This wasn't what she expected. Well, she didn't expect anything. So now when it started, she was nervous.
"Hey.." She said, turning back but then her expression changed, "You're the guy we met some days back." She said in a low tone but enough for him to hear.
After hearing this, he became a bit angry. She doesn't even remember his name.
"Get in the car." He said, still holding her hand.
"What? Why! Leave my hand." She tried to remove his hand but his grip on her hand was very firm.
The man on the passenger seat came out from the jeep and sat on the back seat while he dragged her to the car, making her sit next to him. She shivered in fear. She tried to push him, shouting for help but all her efforts were in vain.
"Leave me. Who do you think you are? I will shout!"
All of a sudden, she felt some hard thing on her back. She turned to see it and her face dropped. It was a gun. One of his men who was sitting in the back put that gun on her back, making her tremble in fear.
"Now, no more shouting baby. We are going to my place. Just answer what I ask. Am I clear?" He asked while staring at her. She was frozen at her place but then he shook her like a child and asked again.
"Yes." She said, totally scared. Although she was told to act, she was actually feeling the same. He started driving in the opposite direction.
"That's like my girl. Now tell me, why are you here? Why are you not with that friend of yours?"
"It's the birthday party of my...senior. Chrissy doesn't come... because she... wasn't feeling well." Tears formed in her eyes and continued to fall on her cheeks while speaking.
"What senior? He or she?" He actually shouted in anger while his hold on the steering wheel tightened.
"She. Please, let...me go." She begged.
He interrogated her with these weird questions. Stefan, who was listening to everything along with Charles and Phoebe seemed confused. The question implied that he seriously likes her.
"I told you already we are going to my place. And yes, stop crying. I'm not letting you go, ever!" He said drawing a little closer to her.
Eve looked down and cried when the man who was holding the gun moved the gun.
"I SAID STOP CRYING!" Ayden roared which scared the hell out of Eve.
She tried to stop crying and placed her hand on her mouth. Eventually, after some time she stopped.
They reached his place and got out of the car. Ayden walked towards her and pulled her closer to him. He put his hand on her small waist and walked towards the house. She felt scared with him.
He only lived here in this city temporarily. The house was large for a temporary residence.
A man asked her to give her handbag to him but she refused, looking down.
"Give it to him." His command made her weak in her knees. He handed her bag to the man and then Ayden took her towards the stairs. His voice was rough, but the arm that encircled her waist held her gently.
Now, according to the plan, all she had to do was to get into the second room as that room would have all their work-related documents.
She walked with him towards the room but felt disappointed when he went towards the next room. Now, she had to do something.
She released her hand and ran towards the second room acting as if she was locking herself in the room. But the moment she tried to lock herself, Ayden opened the door and entered the room.
She succeeded.
Eve then picked the water tumbler from the shelf and threw it on to him. His shirt became wet but he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled while looking at her.
"Oh, you little wild cat! I didn't expect that. Don't be so scared. I am not going to eat you, not yet." He said with a smile on his face.
"Please let me go. Why are you doing this?" She pleaded.
"I don't like repeating things. We will get to that, but for now, sit here. I will be back in a moment." He entered the bathroom after saying this.
Now was the perfect chance for her to install the devices there and check for something which could be helpful. She drew out the devices from the insides of her dress and implanted them in places hard to find.
She then looked for some documents of use. She searched a lot but couldn't find any. But then she saw a small notepad with something written on it.
She read it but at the same time, the washroom door opened and she jumped on the bed where she was asked to sit.
She wasn't worried about him doing anything with her because the NSF told her he never touch a woman without her permission. She said yes to this operation only when the NSF confirmed this thing.
Ayden came closer to her but she pushed him.
"Please don't do... anything to me. Don't kill me please." She pleaded while crying.
He stroked the hair falling on her face and said, "I will not do anything without your permission. I will surely not kill you. You're someone special to me."
Shaken by his proximity and the truth of his words, Eve felt goosebumps rising on her skin. She stood and again asked him to let her go, this time only to irritate him. She just wanted to leave the place but didn't realise she made him angry.
He came close to her and pushed her to the adjacent wall. Then he grabbed both of her hands with his single hand and with his other hand made her face him.
"Please, leave me!"
"You talk too much. It's kinda irritating now." With this, he forcefully attached his lips to hers and kissed her hard. Eve felt as if the world collapsed, she was being kissed by a criminal.
She tried to push him while her whole body shook in shock. To her disappointment, it only drove him more insane. He savoured the taste of her lips and wanted more of it now. He bit her lower lip and she opened her mouth because of the pain.
His tongue slid inside her mouth, sucking her hard. He kissed her ferociously and left her when she was completely breathless.
Eve pushed him, unable to even stand, bending over to put her hand on her knees for support. She looked at him with anger and tear-filled eyes, still catching breath.
"I must say, you taste amazing."
"Shut up. How dare you??" She replied while wiping her lips and turned her back on him. She was utterly disgusted with the man standing in front of him. She wanted to cry out loud but getting out of here was her very first priority.
"What? You didn't enjoy it. I'm so sorry for the disappointment. Come, I'll satisfy you this time." He said with a laugh.
Eve was about to say something when he pulled her to himself once again. He kissed her on the back of her neck and her breathing quickened as the goosebumps rose on her skin. She tried to push him but he turned her towards him. Now, the level of fear she was experiencing was unbearable.
"Leave me!!"
"Never." He answered and while leaning down, creeped closer to her. She turned her face in another direction.
He picked her hands once again and held them tightly with his one hand while pushing her against the wall. Tears stream down her eyes, unable to fight the fear busting inside her. Ayden wiped her tears and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
Her scent was making him lose his patience. He has never touched a woman without her permission but she was making him weak. What was so special about her? He always wanted to know why his patience became zero when he was with her or when he was near her.
In order to control his emotions, he looked down without releasing her and became even angrier. When he saw her later, he didn't look at what she was wearing. All he could see was her beautiful and glowing face.
"What the f**k are you wearing? Who told you to wear such a dress?" He shouted at her, making her flinch.
She was wearing an A-line dress just a little above her knees. She didn't know how to answer or what to do.
"Answer!" He roared at her.
"No one...told me. I wore it." Eve managed to say a few words.
"Really?" He clutched her wrist tightly leaving red marks on her golden skin and she let out a plaintive whimper.
All of a sudden, his hand slid under her dress, moving from her knee towards her thigh. Eve froze on the spot and felt as if she has stopped breathing. His hand touched her inner thigh and reached towards her panty. Her face became pale. This wasn't supposed to happen.
"Don't you dare wear something like this ever again!" He whispered in her ears.
He rubbed her inner thighs and then looked at her awestruck face. He released her hands but she didn't move. She stood there looking like a statue.
He pulled his hand back from her body keeping a distance from her, feeling bad looking at her face. The terrified look on her face made him uneasy. He realised that he overreacted.
He came towards her and put his hand on her shoulder looking at the shocked Eve.
"Don't wear such clothes again." He said, caressing her face. Eve came out of her thoughts and pushed him.
"Stop it, leave me!! I'll report you to the police!" She cried while hitting him on his chest with her small hands.
He smiled at her efforts to punish him and also when she mentioned the police.
Then, he grabbed her hands once again and hugged her tightly. While she pushed him, he kept on hugging her and then took her outside the room.
"You will hurt yourself. Calm down, Eve." He said, caressing her back. She heaved while he held her for support. They walked down the stairs and his men gathered around the stairs.
"Zach, you will send her back home." He ordered one of his men.
He kept her close to him and walked towards the car. Her bag and her phone were returned to her.
"Zach, keep your eyes on her from now on. She loves to call the police." He smiled looking at Eve. Eve looked at him back with hatred. He patted her shoulder and kissed her forehead, out of the blue.
"Wait for me, I'll come back to you, love." His words did nothing but irritate her even more. All she wanted was to get out of that place.
