Julian stood behind the window of the hotel room where he spent the night. He couldn't sleep in his bedroom without Eva in his arms. Everything around the house reminded him of her. It was as though she had gone for long, so he took his bodyguards out and lodged in a hotel. He quickly turned when his phone began to ring and walked toward the small table in his hotel room. He accepted the call reluctantly. His father had called him more than ten times already without positive news."Julian, come back home," Dr. Viraj's voice came in as soon as he picked up the call. "Is she back?" Julian asked with a flat tone. "No, but you have training tomorrow and a tournament on Wednesday. I'm sure you don't want your opponent to defeat you in your home. Please start coming."Julian sighed and hung up. He dropped the phone on the table. He was surprised when another call came in on it. He rolled his eyes and picked up the call. "Julian, did you just hang up on me?" Dr. Viraj asked. "I'm sorry
Eva and Roy arrived at Julian's lane at 11:05 PM. The four feet high driveway luxurious gate had been closed. The logistics office was also closed. Roy blasted the horn for more than five minutes, and none of the logisticians on night duty came out. The rain was quite heavy, so the horn was not heard. "Let's go back," Roy said, switching the ignition on. Eva grabbed her clutch bag and opened the door. "Seriously?" "I'm going in," Eva responded and came down. Roy came down too. "I'm going with you." "No, go home," Eva said walking towards the gate. Roy continued following her. She raised her long gown and crossed the gate. Roy did the same too. The rain was quite heavy, but Eva did not mind. Eva never knew the distance between the entrance and the mansion was a bit far until that day. The road seemed endless. "Roy, please…go…back," Eva sputtered as a result of the cold and shivering that had taken over her body. "No," Roy continued walking beside her. A torchlight came dire
Eva Miles arrived at Church of Our Lady's, earlier than Julian, her would-be husband. She was chauffeured by James Daniels, the one she loved so much, but could not marry because Julian swore to disassociate her from him. Julian had earlier told her the people he needed in the church. They were Mr. and Mrs. Miles, her parents; her maid of honor, and chauffeur. From his side, he needed his Aunt and his best man. Since James's name was not included, he opted to be her chauffeur. That was the only way he could witness the wedding. The low-key wedding wasn't what Eva planned for herself. She had anticipated an elaborate wedding and a honeymoon in Koh Samui, Thailand or Maldives. She had wished to give her virginity to James who had been waiting for her to say yes to his marriage proposal for more than four years. A month ago, she accepted his proposal and the families commenced preparations for an elaborate wedding. James made reservations for their honeymoon in Mald
Julian let go of Nora after they had agreed to meet that night and walked swiftly to his car. He opened the car and drew Eva out. He pushed her away and she fell on her knees. "If I ever see you around my car again, I swear to god I'm going to teach you a lesson you will never forget in your entire life., Julian yelled and jumped into his car after signaling Carlos. Carlos looked at Eva who was on her knees, her gown was badly soiled and she needed help. He sighed and hopped into the car. The chauffeur drove away. Nora and James ran to her rescue when Julian left the Church premises. Eva's mom was still in the church crying and her husband who had been trying to calm her down did not know what happened outside. Eva was startled when she saw Julian's car coming back to the church premises. Nora and James who held her both hands quickly took their hands off her. Julian came down and began to walk towards them. Eva's heart began to beat erratically. "If I get to the house before y
Nora stood still and was probably enjoying his touch. With a classic pinch and release technique, he unhooked the clasp of her bra. Julian rolled his eyes down to her jutting breasts and smirked. "You are really beautiful and well-raised too," Julian said with an unsmiling face. Nora grinned. He stared at her face and cast his eyes downwards. He hates what he was doing, but he needed to do it to punish Eva. There was an intercom that was secretly buried in the room and Eva's room. Whatever happened in the guest bedroom was clearly heard in Eva's room and whatever Eva said was also heard in the guest bedroom. Eva realized there was no ghost in her room when Nora walked into the guest bedroom where Julian was. She heard her voice clearly as though she was in the room with her.
A month before the wedding, Julian received a stranger who had been searching for him for the past six years. She had information concerning his mother who have been missing for years. His mother, Sophia Jones went to work one day and did not return. Julian's great-grandmother did everything humanly possible to find her grandchild, but all her efforts proved abortive. No one knew where she had been to. A woman who knew what happened went out in search of Julian, however, Julian adopted his great grandmother's name since his grandfather rejected him. That's was why it took Maria six years to find him. When Julian met Maria who claimed she knew where his mother was, he quickly took her home. Maria narrated everything that happened to Sophia Jones. She also gave him a clip from the CCTV that was installed in the dining room where the incident happened. Julian watched it with tears in his eyes. Julian fell on his knees and cried uncontrollably after hearing and
Two weeks after Eva received the first letter from Julian, she walked into her elegant office, gorgeously dressed and her face beamed with a smile. Her wedding gown just came in from Dubai.The sleek and effortlessly sexy wedding gown with a classic silhouette was designed by a famous designer known as Mandy Valentino.The ultrafeminine wedding gown was carefully handcrafted with the finest materials. The French lace and the embroidered tulle gave it a regal feel. Its whimsy and vulnerability were top-notch, Eva could not repress her smile of satisfaction as she walked into her office.They had just thirteen days before the wedding and everything was going as planned. There would be a bachelorette party in an exotic hotel a day before the wedding. James had sent out an invitation to some of his naughty college friends. They would be flying in from different parts of the world. 
Eva stood behind her curtainless window staring at the beautiful trees that were well aligned in her mom's garden, very close to her bedroom window. She drew in oxygen from the trees' youthful air into her lungs and grinned.She stared down and admired some of the tree branches that had gone haywire. She wondered why her maids left the branches untrimmed.Eva was so obsessed with nature. She loved trees and talked to them as though they were humans. She saw them as the best gift given to humanity. That was why her parents gave her one of the rooms that faced the trees.They also had the bedroom curtain removed and mounted a shelf in front of the bedroom window for partial coverage. Her parents filled the shelf with a house plant in a decorative vase.Wh
