EvaJulienne looked shocked, wide eyed while gathering herself. I looked on with shock.“You. Bitch.” Brienne's voice was deep and filled with venom. She glared at the brunette with an icy cold stare.“You stole my necklace. How dare you?” Julienne was still wide eyed, mouth gasping with her hand held to her cheek. “But.. Brienne -”“Shut up!” I watched the brunette flinch from the force of Brienne's shout. Her eyes glistened with tears.“I thought you were my friend. How dare you steal my necklace. I trusted you!” Her voice became louder, screeching at the fallen woman yet as I looked at Julienne all I saw was confusion. I also felt the same, especially with everything I knew.I already had the idea in my mind if not for the heightened emotions that nearly overtook me with the accusation. I didn't know Julienne and she had no reason to hate me or frame me unless Brienne was the one who told her to. It was evident considering the victorious smiles on both their faces before Jon cam

EvaThe Reynolds had a lot of pride. Even if Jon and S. Corps rose high miraculously quickly, in their eyes he was still one man compared to a generational long-standing enterprise.Aside from the scandals taunting their name, their financial situation was kept under wraps. Nobody knew about the partnership between S. corps and them. In the eyes of others it would seem necessary but damage their pride.Everyone seemed to hold their breaths with shock. I squeezed his hand, half signaling for him to not tread any further but he didn't budge. Jon pulled me close to him gently before he continued.“The true culprit may have been found, but it doesnt change the fact that my fiancee was still wrongly accused, insulted and humiliated. If I hadn't come here just in time, worse things could have happened to her.” he said in a loud voice, looking at the other socialites around before looking forward.“Mr Reynolds, I believe you know the essence of pride. Even though I didn't start out like the

EvaBy the time we reached my home I was still reeling from my realization. I stepped out with him opening the car door for me before leading me out onto the doorstep. “So, I guess this is it for tonight.” He smiled.I nodded, yet for the first time a lump formed in my throat as I looked at him. Usually I had no problems bidding him goodbye but this time, Hesitation gripped me. I didn't want him to leave. Not like this.We stood in awkward silence, looking at each other. My heart raced inside my chest. Was I thinking too hard about this?“I guess this is goodnight.” He broke the silence again and I nodded.“Yeah. Goodnight.” I breathed out, yet I still made no move towards the door.My mind was running like a racecar as I kept thinking hard. Now that I was sure about my feelings, it felt like a huge barrier between me and him was broken. I didn't want to let him go, yet I didn't know if I could take the final step. What was the right choice? Should I keep my distance or let it flow.

EvaA loud groan made me blink up blearily. Had I fallen asleep?The sun was even brighter now, illuminating my room. I grew alert instantly.‘Shit.’Today was a workday. I had overslept without thinking and if I didn't head out soon I was going to be late.I sat up immediately only for a large arm to wrap around me, pulling me back until I felt his breath against my back.“Stay,” Jon groaned right before he kissed my back, “Don't leave me alone.”His hoarse yet grumbling tone brought a smile to my lips. How could such a ruthless businessman act like an adorable child?Turning around to face him I became aware of our bare bodies linked together. Warmth spread thro my belly but I couldn't let it get anywhere. Instead I planted a loud kiss.“You can rest here. I have to go to work.” I said.“It can hold off until tomorrow,” he groaned, planting a deeper kiss,“You've… worked so hard …for the past …two.. weeks. You deserve…some rest.” he said, pausing each word with a set of kisses.“I do

EvaNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hold back the burn of tears in my eyes or the lump growing in my throat.I told myself I wouldn't care, and I tried so hard not to, but everything in me wanted to scream out: ‘Why?’Why had he been antagonizing me all this time when he was the one who did me wrong? “I don't need to answer any of your questions or explain myself to you but you know what? I'll do it right now. That's what you want isn't it?” I spoke thickly, unable to hide my emotion.“You want to know why I'm with Jon? It's not for any disgusting reason you spouted out. It's not because of his position or his money. The answer is simple.“Because I love him.” I said earnestly, ‘Like I loved you once.’ I inwardly recoiled at the reminder, my heart turning to stone.But that reminder couldn't shake away the euphoria of saying it out loud. “He is wonderful and kind and he cares for me. I love him because he understands what love really is; something that you'll never understan

Eva“I was wondering when you'd show up.” Grace said, moving forward to hug me. I accepted her hug, separating with a small smile.“Good afternoon to you too Grace,” I greeted back. It was only with Grace's help that I was allowed into the mansion. Looking around though I couldn't help but notice how empty the place looked.“Is anyone inside?” I asked. I had hoped nobody was.“Richard is curled up somewhere recovering from his hangover, but nothing else.” She said.“Your car is in the garage, but I would like it if you stayed for a little while. You've come a long way after all.” she said.My lips twitched into a small smile.“Thank you,” I said, letting her lead me into the living room. “Actually, I have some things to ask you.” I said offhandedly “So do I,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me, “You've been keeping plenty of secrets already, eh?”A chord of fear struck within me as she frowned but it fled away as soon as she smiled again replaced with relief. I didn't want her to be

EvaShe looked none too happy to see me either, halting in place. She was wearing a long fancy peach colored dress that admittedly made her look elegant, admirable even if I didn't know her true nature. The frown on her face and the murder in her eyes didn't appeal to the image she was trying to portray.“I should say I'm surprised to see you here, but you always did like to stick your nose into other people's family matters didn't you?” she stated in a false breezy tone her face betrayed. “If that means standing up for myself, then yes. Although I'd hardly call what happened last night a family matter considering how publicly you almost humiliated me.” I replied in an equally casual tone.“Yes, but I apologized, didn't I?” She visibly grimaced at that before continuing “And we found the culprit.”“You mean your scapegoat.” I bit out, watching her stiffen in turn.“Accusing me in my own home, this is a new low, even for you.” she spat out.“Are you stupid? The proof was right there a

Brienne“That BITCH.”Curses left my lips as I drove through the streets. I wanted to rage and destroy shit just to make myself better, but I couldn't. Thinking of her face alone filled me with so much rage already. Sucking in a breath I closed my eyes.“Calm down Brienne.” I muttered to myself. This was not the time to be so riled up.So what if she knew or suspected anything? Whether it had anything to do with what happened two days ago or back then, There was nothing she could do.I forced myself to calm down, focusing on driving to my destination to meet HIM.My nose wrinkled as I spotted the building I was looking for. The place he'd reserved wasn't one of our usual spots, less luxurious but I wasn't gonna to complain so long as it fit the bill. He knew my bottom line requirements. So long as the place was covert enough and had as much class to suit my taste, it was enough.This place fit the bill, at least from the outside. The place was at the edge of the city and it looked is

EvaShock rang over me in waves as her words rang through my mind. I could feel some people's eyes on mine but I couldn't care less. “Eva?”His voice snapped me back. Looking up I meet Viktor's eyes on mine. The concern clear on his face grounded me a little.Blinking frantically, I shook my head, trying to process.“Can you repeat that?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.“I've been arrested.”Julienne repeated through the line and my grip tightened . She didn't sound bothered, her voice completely neutral and dare I say, emotionless. But I knew better.The moment we became friends we'd opened up to each other. She constantly kept her exterior tough out of survival but I knew better than anyone how vulnerable one could be. She was already happy going through college what the hell could have changed?After a few more seconds of silence, a sound I recognized as a sigh came through.“Technically it's not really an arrest. It's the college security that detained me and now I neede

Eva“I'm sorry love, I have to stay here longer.” Jon's voice rang through the phone. “What do you mean? You promised the kids you'd be back for the festival,” I tried to keep my tone neutral even as irritation sprang through me.“I know. Something came up that's really important. I'll make it up to them, I promise.”My jaw clenched in response. “Jonathan, it's been a month. Nearly two since they've seen you.” I said as carefully as I could, yet it was hard to keep my frustrations away from the phone.He sighed, sounding exasperated, like he was the one frustrated.“What do you want me to tell you Eva?” he asked and I snapped.“I want answers!” My voice rose and I shut my eyes instantly to calm down. Once I reeled myself in I spoke again.“Everytime I asked, you constantly told me it was ‘okay’ yet you do this. You've constantly been out of the city doing Goodness knows what. What the hell is wrong with you?”“Nothing's wrong. I just need to work out some things.”“Things that you h

Viktor It took me a few more seconds to process it wasn't her room but ours, or what once used to be. The same room I hadn't touched in months.“It had been six years since I entered, yet the place looked how I remembered. Not a thing out of place,” she said, shaking her head,She took a step closer towards me and close up I saw the walls shift down, the neutral look replaced with something sadder that made my heart clench.“Seeing it made me realize something. I thought I was doing the best I could, keeping my distance. I was still holding you to the past. I thought I'd let go, but when it came to the kids. It reared its head the moment you found out about them." She continued “I’d forgiven but not fully. I was afraid to face that part of myself until last night in the same way I was afraid to face the present you. Even though I knew that you'd changed, a part of me was still holding you to those days wondering if you were going to do something else.”Those last words were like a p

Viktor Hell. That's where I felt like I was right now.I groaned against the blinding lights. Pain hammered through my head. I'd forgotten how bad times like this could be. As I sat up, my memories began to flood back.After leaving her home I had gone to the penthouse. I didn't even know how it started. First it was one drink without hesitation and then another and another until my mind became a blurry haze. Yet I could still recall why it started. I shut my eyes tightly for a different reason altogether. The last sight of Anthea, my daughter, choking because of the candy i bought her. Cory's scream and Eva's green eyes, wild with panic.“Get out.”Eva's words echoed in my mind.The familiar self-loathing and guilt washed over me, threatening to drown me under. Things were getting better, but like always I had ruined everything. Just like that I'd backslid, months of progress gone under the bottom of a bottle.‘Pathenic’ I scoffed to myself.A flash of a hazy memory stopped me in

EvaThe scent of antiseptic stung my nose as I waited in the hospital lobby.Penelope’s presence helped. She had come in a few moments ago, even while I was spaced out with Cory on my lap. The moment she hugged me, I couldn't stop myself from breaking down again.“Everything’s going to be okay.” She whispered to me. I closed my eyes in response. Goodness knew I wished I could believe it.I didn’t know what to feel. We had gotten her there in time, but I still couldn't get my mind off it. It was just like the second time that this happened. I was on my own, alone, scared.“Miss Greene?” The voice made me look up instantly to find the doctor there. All thoughts slipped by as I stood up carefully.“Doctor? How is my-”“Your daughter is fine,” he said, “you brought her in early so it was just a mild allergic reaction she suffered. She's still asleep but when she wakes up she'll be fully ready to discharge.”A sigh of relief left me instantly. She was fine. My baby was fine.Cory was sti

ONE MONTH LATEREva“When are you coming back?” I asked, rifling through clothes as frustration brewed up in me.“Soon.” Jon’s voice rang through terse and neutral. It made my brows furrow.“So, in a week? Cory and Anthea miss you.” I said, trying to ignore the coldness in his tone.“I…Eva I don’t know yet.” His words gave me whiplash, making me flinch.“Okay.” I said.Frustration brewed inside me but I kept silent.The moment the call ended I dropped the phone like a dead weight, clenching and unclenching my arms for control. What the hell? This wasn’t the first time, at least not within this month.After telling him of my decision to include Viktor and Grace into the children’s lives the day I'd made the decision, he was completely supportive. I still sensed displeasure, however no matter how much I tried to assure him, he said that it was fine. Although he was never present while Viktor and Grace were around, he still looked well.It happened so gradually. At first he wasn’t pr

Eva I was completely frozen under the scrutiny of my best friend’s stare as she flickered between us. Even if he wasn't touching me like before, his closeness was suspicious enough. For a moment everything was still…until the moment the twins slipped out beside her. “Mom!” they chorused and my gaze shifted to their innocent smiles. Without he's they rushed to greet me and I pushed my panic away, forcing a smile. “Hey, babies. Did you enjoy your time at Aunt Penelope?” I hugged them, ruffling their hair to make them giggle and nod in agreement. Looking back up to face Penelope felt sheepish. Her expression said plenty, a mix of disbelief and recognition. I could hear her unsaid words without thinking. I tried to pass a pleading one of my own to tell her that I'd explain after this. “Mom?” I tore my eyes away to meet Anthea’s stare but she wasn't looking at me but behind me, no doubt at Viktor. ‘Oh,’ I quickly stood up, looking at him before turning back to the chil

82EvaThe doorbell rang. I was ready, sucking in a breath before standing up.I tampered down any impulse to clean aside anything within the room more than necessary despite the urge to hide it away. He needed to see the reality of their natural environment.Passing by the strewn toys I left alone made me think back to Cory and Anthea.A swift call from them moved the sleepover Penelope spent with them to them staying with her for the entire day while I sorted things out. It was already evening and they were still with her. Considering it was evening she was no doubt also on her way to my home.She wasn't the one standing by the door at the moment however.I forced myself to relax before opening the door, his cerulean eyes meeting mine immediately.“Hi,” Viktor said.The air felt awkward yet I let him slip inside, murmuring a greeting before stepping back. He looked overwhelmed as he looked around and I couldn't blame him when I was the same way.If it wasn't for what happened earli

EvaI worked up to darkness and dim lighting engulfing me. My eyes felt heavy and my body ached but the smell of food woke me up further.It didn't take long for the past memories and pain to seep in. Swallowing hoarsely, I nearly broke down in tears again until“You're awake,”Jon's voice jolted me. I looked up to find him moving towards me, a plate in his hand along with the familiar aroma of pasta.Sitting up, I tried to smile when he reached. “Are you okay now?” He asked,“Yeah,” I nodded my voice hoarse from unuse.After crying for so long, I didn't know when I just…passed out. But looking around I was sure that a few hours had passed.I should have considered it a relief compared to holding it in, but looking at him only made more guilt swell into me.“I shouldn't have…I'm sorry for coming here unannounced.” I shifted uncomfortably. “It's okay.” Was all he said.“I'm sorry,” my voice cracked as I spoke. Even still I shouldn't have to use him as a crutch.“What happened? Or is
