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

BrienneI leaned in to kiss him, moaning a bit too exaggeratedly as he soon took charge moving himself over me. This time I actually rolled my eyes. It was okay though, Geoffery wouldn't notice a thing.Despite having fun with him for years, there was no way in hell I was going to let anyone find out and break my engagement. I could and would never marry Geoffrey. Geoffrey was funny when he wanted to be, average in bed and he kicked up a good entertainment when he wanted to, helping me with our ‘gamed’ and plans, but he was also incredibly wild, reckless and a wastrel, spending his money on gambling and extravagance. He had nothing to show for himself yet wondered why the hell he couldn't compare to Viktor.Viktor was a thousand times more superior to Geoffrey in every way. Handsome, charismatic and hot. Geoffrey liked to think himself a savant in bed, but it was nothing compared to how absolutely generous a lover Viktor was. Most of all was his position. As the heir to the RFC, he wa

EvaTWO WEEKS LATER “So these are all that's left?” I asked.“Yes.” Camille, one of the workers in Reynolds Corps and my acting temporary assistant nodded, passing the document to me.I looked down at the document, a strange feeling coming upon me as I roved over it, looking for any mistakes.There were none. Looking over it for one final time I swallowed thickly.Four weeks. A full month of working, of sharing my time between here and my company, bearing everything that took place in the past. All of it had culminated into this.Every process and change regarding the merger was done. I had done my part to the best of my abilities and completed my work to ensure the merger went smoothly. Now it was going to be in Jon's hands as it originally should have been and all that was left was for an official announcement of the partnership to be made public.This was it. This was the end of my stay here.Tearing my gaze away from the document I looked up at her, giving her a tight smile.“Tha

Eva“Cheers!”The clinking of glasses filled the room alongside raucous noises and laughter. I smiled, my chest as warm as the lights illuminating us.The ending of my work in Reynolds Corps demanded a celebration for the employees on my floor and I was nothing but a generous boss. For the celebration I took everyone on my floor for a dinner celebration. Including Jonathan.He'd come to my office not long after I arrived back from Reynolds headquarters to ‘congratulate’ me personally— the congratulations which included a slew of kisses and compliments that nearly made my heart burst. After our make out session, I told him of my plans to take the entire floor to dinner and he desired to join. I was shocked and wary of the idea. His constant visits to my office were already an item of question. That the CEO himself came over to celebrate with us would be a hot topic amongst them.I was more than aware of the gossip between them, some wondering how I'd gotten to a high position at such

Eva News was normal. The press was normal, as essential as breathing air and with enough skills, an advantage. Whether in entertainment or business or simply about the mundane happenings of life, it was nothing new. It was NORMAL. But for the first time in my entire life, my heart raced painfully in my chest. This wasn't any normal news. It was gossip. A scandalous news. And it was about ME. It took reading it the first time to comprehend, yet it took the next two tries of tracing over the headlines for it to sink in. The headline was simple and direct. ‘TALES OF A SOCIAL CLIMBER: THE RISE OF EVA GREENE’ Despite S. Corps sudden rise and Jonathan's popularity, nobody put themselves in the spotlight. It was an important rule in business. My name could be easily overlooked amongst other big names, but the main question was how it even got here in the first place. I scrolled down, reading through the article. They completely eviscerated my past, barely touching my past by s

Eva My breath hitched as he cut me off. Suddenly everything stopped, the rushing feeling in my ears stilling to nothing. “You…what?” I shook my head, unable to believe it. Was it just my imagination? He'd said…he believed me? I stood in place as he stepped towards me. “I believe you Eva. I've known you for the past six years haven't I?” He asked, taking another step closer. “I've seen how willing you are to put in the hard work. I've seen how you refused to ask for help, afraid and eager to prove yourself. I've seen your quick wut, how you adapt so quickly and grow, gain confidence and beat others in their game.” he said. As he spoke, I found nothing but sincerity in his eyes, a small smile written on his face. “I've seen tasks thrown your way, some of them I did myself and yet you proved yourself each and every time, making me fall for you with every win. I saw you overcome difficulties despite the scars in your hearts to get to where you are now.” Another step. He

EvaHalf an hour later, the entire apartment was dead silent. After resolving to tell him, we had moved from the floor to the couch of the living room. There I explained everything that went on in the past and what happened now. Viktor's infidelity, kicking me out and everything that happened while he'd traveled, leaving the deal to me.Almost everything. I couldn't bring up Viktors insults, threats and attempts to corner me. Not when I knew he wouldn't take it well. Now that all was said, I remained silent as I looked at him, waiting for him to finally speak. He sat in one place, the stillness in his body and face akin to that of a statue. Under the lights illuminating his sharp cheekbones and deep blue eyes, he almost looked like one. I couldn't focus too much on his appearance however with the anxiety swirling in me.He didn't look angry at all, his face neutral to the point that I couldn't identify any actual emotion. Goodness knew what he was thinking right now.The air seemed

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
