Julian's manager arrived at his residence at the agreed time. Eva was in the bathroom when he arrived.
Other staff, who were aware of his coming, had got their things ready. They will be paid off.
Eva felt for Nora when she heard her voice again. Her moaning that morning was more like an outcry. She was in pain. She shrugged as she opened her closet. The maids told her that Julian doesn't force himself on people. It was Nora's decision to stay.
They all gathered together in the big lounge, waiting for Eva. Since she had been informed about the manager's arrival and where she could find them, all the domestic staff waited patiently for her.
Eva had just a few clothes in her closet, however, the clothes were quite expensive, classy, an
A deep sense of loneliness and longing to see James took over Eva when all Julian's domestic staff left. The mega-mansion looked deserted and everywhere was as silent as a graveyard.Chirpings from birds that perched on the trees within the surrounding area could be heard clearly. Eva felt she was in prison already.She needed someone to talk to, but there was no one.She was scared of dogs, however, she was happy when Dave told her she would take the dogs out for a stroll every morning. That would be her only opportunity to meet James and talk with him.All the equipment she needed to put the house in order had been handed over to her. She was also taught how to use the equipment.She sat noncha
Eva rushed down to the kitchen to check if Julian had sent an order. She checked the tablet on the wall, his order came twenty minutes ago. The meal he wanted was her favorite, yet she did not know how to make it. She smiled when she looked at the smartphone she had in her hand. She quickly searched the recipe up on the internet and began to follow the procedure. Fear gripped her when she dished the meal out and was set to deliver it to her husband. The food tasted great in her mouth, but Julian never got satisfied. He was very difficult to please. Eva took the food to his private dining room. Carlos was there, but Julian hadn't arrived yet. Eva was happy the food arrived before him. "You kept us
Eva woke up when the alarm went off at 5:am. She set the alarm before going to bed to avoid waking up late.She went to the laundry room, picked up some bedding, and proceeded to her husband's room.She checked his main room, there was no sign of him and Hazel. She was sure he did not sleep in the second guest room. If he had slept there, she would have heard everything that went on last night. It seemed he had respect for Hazel, Eva thought.She stood at the door of the third room, contemplating. Kelsey told her before she left that Julian disliked it when people knocked on his door.She leaned on the wall, trying to figure out what to do. Her mind began to wander, picking up some questions as it went. "What if Hazel went back to her house when I
Julian left the dining room with annoyance. He was not happy with the meal Hazel served. Hazel ran after him. "Julian, are you mad at me for helping her?" Hazel said. "Hazel, we train four or five hours per day. Thirty minutes for cardio, thirty minutes of intense sprinting drills, football tactical drills to improve understanding with teammates, and some gym exercises for muscle development and strength, so we follow a strict diet plan. You have been with me for more than six months now, I think you should know better," Julian yelled. "How am I supposed to know? Have you ever allowed me to help your cooks?" Hazel asked. Julian looked at her and sighed. "I see, you preferred her over me right?" Hazel said.
Eva lay on her bed staring at the roof of her small detached guesthouse. Her wedding was supposed to be tomorrow. She thought about her parents and James's parents and began to wonder what they told their friends. The phone she kept beside her began to ring. She picked the phone up and accepted the incoming call. "I want to see you in my room now," Julian's voice came clearly across the line. Eva looked at the time after he hung up, it was 9:PM. She began to wonder why he was still awake. He hadn't slept alone since she came to his house. Eva's mind began to wander. She slowly rolled out of the bed. She walked towards her closet and pulled her sleep shirt off. Eva was not thinking of having
It was another beautiful day and Eva woke up with determination. She walked into her bathroom and tidied herself up.She had a perfume her father bought for when he went on vacation in France. She brought it out from her bag, ran her eyes on the date and some write-up that was on the bottle. She gently removed the cap and sprayed it around her body. She stood, ready for the day.Eva was surprised Julian hadn't gotten out of the bed yet. She dropped the bedding as usual. On second thought, she summoned courage and walked towards his bed.She pulled his duvet slowly, he swiveled and opened his eyes. Julian wiped his eyes again to make sure he was seeing clearly.Eva stood behind him, offering him a smile with her phone in her hand.
"Wait... are you out of your mind?" Carlos yelled at his friend. "Hazel was right!""Right about what?" Julian, whose attention was on the football match he was watching on the television turned and gawked at him."She said you preferred Eva to her!""When did she tell you that?" Julian asked."She called me yesterday when you were in Eva's room, wiping her tears," Carlos said.Julian fixed his gaze back on the television without saying a word."Julian if I had known you are not going to punish that girl, I would have insisted on handing the evidence over to the police.""Carlos, she mowed the
Julian and his friend sat on the bleacher, admiring the new plants they added to the garden."Did you call her?" Carlos asked when he saw Eva coming towards them. Julian looked at her and continued staring at the new plants."Good morning, Carlos," Eva greeted."Good morning, Mrs. Hampton, thanks for the breakfast," Carlos grinned. Eva smiled back at him."Julian, can I talk to you?" Eva asked with a firm tone. Julian looked at her, the picture of her he saw last night appeared before him."Come closer; you can talk from there if you want," Julian said, returning his gaze to the garden.Eva climbed the bleacher and sat on the third row, where he
