“Did I fucking stutter! I don't want you or any other woman near me! Freaking traitors! Out!” Ronald said, not even noticing his office door was open with the least expected person at the door staring at him in awe and horror.Eva had never felt such anger emanating from anyone before. His words, rich in hidden meaning, showed just how he considered women. She took steps back in fear as she watched the lady scram out of the room and past them, horrified. The veins protruding from his hands and several on his forehead making her see the obvious fury in his eyes. Their eyes locked, and she could have sworn she noticed his face soften contradicting his words. Something in how his arms appeared as the veins looked strained made her remember a certain night years ago. Something about this man kept drawing her back to remembering the night. Eva shook her head, trying to push the thoughts away, mentally facepalming herself. How could she be thinking something sexual in such a situation? S
The buzzing sounds of the nightclub music were still ringing in his head as he settled in his office. Looking around his office, Ronald couldn’t help but wish he found an assistant soon. There were so many papers unturned but finding a competent and trustworthy person to work with was like finding a needle in a haystack. His phone buzzed revealing the last person he thought would ever reach out after their last stand on. “How may I help the Mighty Charles Foxx?” Ronald asked, his voice full of scorn and bitterness. Silence followed as he heard his brother sharply inhale.“Look Ronny, I know we didn’t come to an understanding the last time you were here but…”“Did you mean to say, you denied taking the mansion from me thinking I wouldn’t find out?” Ronald asked, clenching his fists in anger. “Ronny…”“Don’t call me that, Charles! Only grandpa was entitled to call me that,” Ronald said his voice low in anger. He couldn’t miss the painful twist in his heart as he remembered his grandf
A loud buzzing of the phone broke their enchantment, bringing their minds out of their fantasy moment. Breathless, Eva pulled away her eyes lowered as her heart beat fast in excitement. She never thought she would feel that way after what happened years back. She felt a touch under her chin as Ronald lifted her face to meet his gaze. “Um… I should pick this,” Eva said, trying to steady her voice. Ronald held her hand a little firmer to stop her from moving away. “Be my contract wife, Eva,” he said with no hesitation in his voice. His statement caught her off-guard as she inhaled sharply in shock and surprise. Her eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief, “wh… what?” “You heard me, I’ll pay you well, I mean you can’t ignore the chemistry between us,” Ronald said boldly. Eva scoffed looking at him in awe, the man before him was prouder than she thought. He didn’t seem to regard women very highly. “You know what, I think I need to leave,” Eva said, not sparing him a look.
As they got into the house, Amy closed the door behind them, ready to interrogate her. She had never seen her like that in all the years they had known each other. “Look sweetie I understand if you don’t want to talk about whate…” “Take me to your job place tonight, I want to work, I could use the extra money,” Eva burbled out, looking at her friend boldly. Amy scoffed looking at her in shock, “gal, what’s gotten into you? Earlier you could never go with me, no matter how many times I tried to incite you, what’s going on, really?” Eva ran her hand through her hair then let them settle on her waist as she paced across the room. How could she even start to explain, and if she did, would it even make sense. “I just need money Asap,” Eva answered, not stopping in her wandering. Amy shrugged her shoulders in defeat, knowing Eva, she always liked to keep to her issues. But one thing she knew is when Eva was ready to talk, she would. “Well, you’re in luck, one of our dancers is absent
“Oh God!” Eva exclaimed looking at the man before her in terror, there was no way this was happening to her. Ronald held her waist firmly as he pulled her to him, he could feel her soft skin under the light clothing she had on. “That’s not fair, God is not here just me love,” Ronald said looking down at her like a desired prize he had won. “Please Ronald, let me go, I don’t want…” “Don’t want what Eva? Me? If it was another man in my stead, I’m sure you would be ready to jump his bones at his signal, right?” Ronald accused still holding her in position. “No, it’s not like that Ronald, it’s …” “It’s what, Eva? I’ve already paid for your services beforehand. I don't think you want to leave just yet,” Ronald interjected, letting her go gently as he noticed her trembling in fear. The last thing he wanted to see was fear in her eyes when she looked at him. Eva breathed out as she watched him sit on the bed away from her. Her brain, screaming at her to take the chance and run, but s
Pacing quickly through the hospital corridors, Eva could be lying if she said she had slept even the slightest. Looking at her phone, she saw the multiple missed calls from Amy and the coffee shop. She pushed the door to the ward room and took another look at her son who slept peacefully all night. Her heavy eyelids protested demanding for rest as she blinked making her rub her eyes continuously. Her mind was still filled with worry from what happened last night. “Mommy?” a small soft voice called getting her attention, she could have sworn she was dreaming when she saw her son smiling at her. “Heey my charming prince, you’re awake early?” Eva said, smiling at him as she moved to his side, embracing her. “How are you feeling?” Eva asked, shuffling his hair playfully. “I’m feeling okay,” Jay answered smiling, though his tone was still a little pale. “That’s good because mommy is going to buy you whatever you want once you get better, okay?” Eva said, kissing his cheek, making him
Ronald couldn’t concentrate on anything they were saying in the meeting as he kept glancing at his wristwatch. He needed to be somewhere else not listening to the same old things he had to hear all his life. His thoughts drifted off to Eva who surprisingly had not come to accept his terms. He had to admit, she was one tough nut to crack if after all he had done, she was not ready to give in yet. As he thought of the little boy he saved, he wished he could have stayed longer to see him. He remembered his front desk receptionist kept telling him of a doctor who kept leaving messages requesting him to call him back. He hadn’t had the time yet, but he intended to stop by the hospital to see the boy and talk to the doctor. “You agree sir…Sir?” his manager’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts only to find all eyes on him. “What…Yeah, you know what, why don’t we all take a break and resume after…” he didn’t get to finish his sentence as the door to the boardroom busted open, everyone’
On arrival at the hospital, Eva hopped out of the car heading for the entrance. The ride to the hospital composed nothing but stealing glances at each other, but none uttered a word. Hurrying through the corridors Eva sighed in relief on seeing Amy in sight. As Amy saw her, she practically ran towards her, her eyes wide in panic. “Eve how are you? What did you do?” Amy asked, looking at her friend in concern. Before Eva could respond Ronald came into sight making Amy stride towards him. “What did you do to her this time, narcist?” Amy called, pointing an accusing finger at him not caring if she was creating a scene in the hospital. “Please Amy calm down, I'll explain everything later,” Eva said, holding her back as she pleaded with her eyes. “I’m sorry for what happened Miss Amy, but that’s all over now,” Ronald explained, smiling at her slightly. Amy scoffed as she moved away from him as she dragged Eva with her. As they reached the ward room they stood as Eva held on to her ha
