His Ruthless Desire novel Chapter 3

Eva

"I am so glad you are back from those boring digging tours," May exclaimed as soon as she saw Eva in the kitchen preparing their dinner. May just got back from work. She was an accountant in a consulting firm.

"I know you hate my job but still it won't be bad once in a while if you try to show some respect towards it," Eva said, frowning. Everyone in her life thought she was an archaeologist working on digging expeditions around the world. Even her parents didn't have any clue that she was a spy. Her absence from their country for such long periods needed explanation and what better reason than archaeological expedition.

It was her dream to be an archaeologist since she was a child, her grandfather was one and she was fascinated by his work since she was 5yrs old. But Robb's death had changed everything. Robb was also an archaeologist and she had met him on one of such expeditions in Africa. She could still remember that day like it was yesterday.

"So what do you guys dig out this time? A dinosaur or a man with a skull-like ape? May's voice brought her back to reality, she took a deep breath.

"Well to be honest we didn't find anything". And it was not a lie, the fortnight leaves she took from work, she had spent it on one of the expeditions of her old group. After completion of every assignment, she used to join them for a week or two so that she could click some pictures and make some videos to show them to her family and friends.

When she was sure May was asleep, she pulled out the dossier from her bag and opened it. There were a couple of pictures of Malik Taimur Jahaan in the dossier, in one picture he was wearing the traditional Arabic robe of Azmaayir with a headscarf. And in another, he was wearing a military uniform with a machine gun in hand aiming for an unknown target. Eva took a deep breath. She couldn't find words to describe him. Was he handsome or beautiful, no he was handsome in a beautiful way. He was like a tiger ready to pounce on his prey. His fair golden skin and his green jade green eyes were visible in the pic.

His eyes reminded her of Robb, Robb also had green eyes but they were not as green as that of Taimur. She realized how difficult her task was this time. The man radiated dominance even from his pictures, he was not a man to be trifled with. She knew one wrong step and she could lose her life.

She was to fly to Azmaayir next week. The Interpol Operatives had ensured she was hired as one of Taimur Jahaan's secretaries. It was going to be a hell of a job to get close to this man without wanting to kill him, for what his Organization did to Robb. She cursed herself for accepting this mission. What on Earth was she thinking, she knew very well how ruthless these Arab Royals were and how much they liked toying with the opposite sex. But she had to do this for Robb. Her Robb who was snatched away from her by this ruthless man. She felt rage for him. How was she going to keep her calm around this man knowing he was the killer of the love of her life?
