Eva sat behind her flower garden as soon as she got into their bedroom. She missed the garden as though she had been away for a whole week. She began to smile as she touched the gorgeous blooms. She remembered how successful their trip was, and a smile curved her lips. Julian took the small luggage she left in the middle of the bedroom to the closet after staring at her with a smile on his face. He came out again and walked towards her and lifted her. "Sweetheart, we need to bathe. We are going to switch our phones off again tonight. I want to spoil you," Julian whispered his hot breath into her ear. Eva grinned and shrugged. "What are you going to do?" Eva asked turning around to face him. "We are going to have a spa night. It is going to start with candlelight, a bubble bath, and then a massage. We are going to play soundscape music with just candlelight." "We are going to take turns giving each other a massage and then become one flesh," Eva added. The pit of her stomach chu
"Oh, thank God he is here," Molly said taking a seat beside her handbag. Julian walked toward his wife and stood beside her as they read the news in the Newspaper. "Which of your siblings shared these pictures on the internet?" Eva muttered. "Rohan is quite active on social media. I think he did," Julian said with a lower tone. "Mia looks good here," Julian grinned. "Sweetheart, I'm hungry," Julian said taking the Newspaper from her. "Did you send in an order?" Eva asked. Julian shook his head as he walked towards a sofa. "Give me one of my favorites," Julian said. Molly stared at them with surprise. She probably didn't believe her daughter could cook. "Alright," Eva said and walked away. She already knew why her mom came. "Mom, you can find your way when you are done with him. Just in case you want to know, I'm not interested in whatever you want to discuss with him.""Oh, dear, you are, definitely," Molly said deeming her eyes. "I believe you have seen today's news headlines
Julian dropped Eva off in front of her father's pharmaceutical company before heading to the training ground. She wanted to see her father. He was her confidant right from when she was a child. Eva glanced at her wristwatch when the elevator door opened. Her father went to his office at 10:am every day and the time was 9:45 am. She thought about going home to meet him, Eva changed her mind and stepped into the elevator and was swallowed by its stainless steel walls. She grinned when she recalled how her dad sang and hum the elevator music each time he was in the elevator. She stepped out at the last level and walked straight to her dad's office. She was surprised her dad was already in the office. His eyes shot out in surprise when she walked unannounced. "Lollipop! You didn't tell me you were coming." Richard said, dropping the pen he was holding and pulling his glasses off. "Good morning dad," Eva grinned. "What happened? Did she embarrass you?" Richard asked. "I was quite emb
Julian drove into his mansion and pulled over behind the stadium. There were about fifteen policemen around the mansion. Rachel was standing behind one of the police, sharing what she saw with him. A few newsmen were allowed into the mansion by his logistics manager. They ran up to him as soon as he got down from the car. The security men that came with him bared them immediately. One of the policemen took Julian to a car that was behind. There was blood everywhere. "A heart monitor strip has been run. I'm sorry Mr. Hampton, she is dead," the policeman said, uncovering a body that was covered with a white piece of cloth. "She will be transferred to the morgue."Julian left the policeman immediately and walked toward Rachel to find out exactly what happened. Rachel's clothes were soaked with tears. She ran to Julian and held him tight. "Julian, I'm going back to the United Kingdom tomorrow, I'm scared," Rachel wept. "What happened?" Julian asked. "She was shot twice on the head i
James experienced the lowest point of his life after discovering Eva had fallen in love with Julian. He had built his life around Eva and so it was difficult for him to move on. He felt like ending his life, but his best friend advised him and introduced him to things that would make him happy. He hit the gym every morning with some friends before leaving for the office and went home every day to enjoy a small pool party his friend threw at his house every evening. James could not do without the pool party because of the pretty girls that went there. Soon he began to sleep with the girls and forgot everything about Eva. His father was not happy with the change he saw in his favorite son, but there was nothing he and his mother could do since he kept all of them in the dark. James realized he still loved Eva the day the news of Julian's family reunion made headlines. He noticed his soul wanted her badly; he decided to throw a party and celebrate her freedom with friends. His h
Julian sat on a sofa with a cup of hot cappuccino watching Eva as she slept so peacefully. The gory picture he saw yesterday refused to get out of his head. Sleep eluded him as a result of that. His attention left Eva and concentrated on the phone that was vibrating before him. It was his mother. He picked the phone up and accepted the incoming call. "Good morning, mom," Julian greeted. "Julian, where are you?" Sophia asked with a breaking voice. "We lodged in a hotel and will be here for a while.""Okay, what happened? Do you have a girlfriend? I thought you were married to Eva!" "She is my ex-girlfriend.""What is she doing in your house!" "She knew what Eva did to you.""And so?" "I want to see you before driving her away," Julian responded. "Okay, I understand. We heard a suspect has been arrested." "He was released yesterday.""How do you feel?" Sophia asked. "I feel guilty! I heard she has children. If the information is confirmed to be true, I will never forgive mysel
"I'm sorry, she never told me she was married," Julian said after narrating everything to his wife. "Do not get mad at me. This happened because you were yet to come into my life. Do you know how long I waited for a woman who is meant for me? I know she is somewhere, but I don't know where to find her," Julian said, waiting for her response. Eva kept quiet and continued staring at the window. "Sweetheart, please talk to me," Julian whispered into her ear. "I'm not mad at you, I'm just worried." "Don't worry, you are safe. No harm will ever come to you." "James' father called me," Eva muttered. "Who?" Julian who was spooning her sat upright. "Bruce Daniels, he visited dad this afternoon and was asking why we accused his son of murder after calling off his expensive wedding. He was quite furious." "Did you tell him what his son said?" "Yes, but he continued yelling at me." "What? He yelled at you?" Julian rolled out of the bed and began to open all the drawers in the bedroo
Eva felt at home immediately as she walked into their executive lounge. The whole place looked so clean. There was no trace of blood anywhere. Julian walked into the kitchen and came back with a glass of ginger tea. Eva looked up at him and stared at the glass of tea he was holding. She was surprised she found the aroma quite pleasant. "This will help you feel better,'' he said before handing the glass over to her. Eva gave him a toothy grin. She found every smell unpleasant lately, she was happy the ginger tea smelled so nice. She gulped down the whole content at once and dropped the glass cup on the small tray. "I'm going to the police headquarters. One of the people that were seen on the CCTV that was at the entrance was arrested in a bar last night. He was so drunk, that he couldn't speak coherently. He must have been questioned. I want to know the outcome. I'll be right back, Julian said after kissing her forehead. Eva nodded her head. "Call me as soon as dad gets here," he s
