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
Working double shifts at the little busy diner and being married to a billionaire was a puzzle not even Eva Adams could solve. Feeling the strokes of tiredness engulf her body, she couldn’t help but wish for nothing less of a cozy bed to lie in. she quickly hailed a taxi shrugging her shoulders as the first heavy drops of rainfall yet on another day hit her.Pushing through the heavy gates of the villa, Eva felt her heart stop as she spotted her husband’s car in the parking lot. She quickly glanced at the time sighing in relief on realizing she was not late. “Miss Eva you’re back?” Mrs. Rhoda the house manager for over the years asked, her face full of worry. Eva looked at her with a lot of concern, questions running through her mind. “Is anything the matter, Mrs. Rhoda?” Eva asked but she didn’t get an answer before a loud moan came from upstairs. Eva could have sworn she felt her insides churn as she turned to look at the woman beside her in bewilderment. “Miss, I’m so sorry I
Cracking her eyes slowly open, Eva moaned as the bright light in the room burned her eyesight. The beeping of machines and the thudding in her head reminding her of what has happened. To think Calvin would turn into an animal and almost kill her, Eva felt her insides shudder. Just then the door opened, ushering in the last person she thought she would see. “Ooh good, I see you're awake?” Mr. Lawrence Adams, her uncle, said walking towards her with no ounce of remorse on his face.Eva knew better than to answer anything, if she thought her husband was worse then she was mistaken. Lawrence Adams was the worst of them all, ever since her parents passed away in that accident, this man had given her nothing short of suffering.“It's good you weren't badly hurt, such a shame that you had to find out in that way,” her uncle said, his voice full of mockery. Anyone who would have heard him would have mistaken his cold tone for that of concern.Eva blinked her eyes, her throat feeling like b
Feeling exhaustion get the better part of him, Ronald pulled out a bottle of Vodka from his bag. He needed to relax his head and get some rest in the noisy mansion. Drowning himself in shots of Vodka, Ronald felt his head getting lighter making him sigh as he lay on the bed. There was no doubt tomorrow he would be facing his brother head on. Closing his eyes, he let himself drown in the pull of sleep that tagged on him heavily. Little had he slept completely that he felt soft hands running over his chest and stomach. ~~🔥🔥 Mature Content (Mild) 🔥🔥~~He waited patiently regarding it as a dream but the exploring hands persisted. There was no doubting someone was in his room and from the light touches; a woman. Alarmed, Ronald quickly opened his eyes to see the intruder in the dimly lit room. A feminine figure climbed further onto his body touching everywhere her hands would reach. “What the fuck!” Ronald cursed sitting up as he held the woman at an arm’s length. He tried to stud
Eva Adams settled yet another stressful table at the Hot coffee n Diner. She had been used to the busy place for the past five years. “Eva sweetie, you might want to cover the last table,” her best friend Amy said rubbing her shoulder. She was the only person who held her hand after she moved to New Jersey. Despite working on another line of work, she from time to time came to help in her grandparent's diner.“The guy again?” Eva asked, chuckling as she saw the man who kept pestering Amy. Amy always tried to avoid him but he appeared to be everywhere she was.Amy nodded, shrugging her shoulders as she glanced at her watch. “Sort that out for me sweetie, I need to go prepare for work it's already 4pm,” Amy said untying her apron.“Okay, don't forget to pick him up from school, I might come off early today,” Eva said as she walked towards the table. Amy was a great help to her life despite her not appreciated line of work as an exotic dancer, she was kind hearted.Eva completed the
“Sorry, Mr. Ronald? Are you okay?” Eva asked, looking at him in concern. He looked lost in thought, as his eyes were fixated on the necklace in her hand making her feel uncomfortable. “Sir?” She called again this time, bringing him out of his thoughts. “Yes, uhm… it's that neckl…” before he could finish his statement, his phone vibrated making him knit his brows in what looked like disbelief. Ronald felt his body freeze at the picture before him, how could she do that to him? He clenched his fists angrily trying to control the fury boiling inside him. “Sorry but I have to leave, don’t forget about tomorrow, I’ll be waiting,” Ronald said, all his attention taken by the new matter at hand. He had to get to the roots of things. Eva shook her head, not sure what to say to him, he looked as if someone had angered him, and she didn’t think it wise to push him. “Thank…” Eva hummed, but it was too late as she was talking to his already disappearing back.Ronald had never felt so angry i
Eva paced outside her son's admission room, feeling her heart beating fast in tension. The doctors had been in the room for over half an hour and still no word of how her son was doing. “Calm down, sweetheart, my little champ is strong, he'll be okay,” Amy said, hugging Eva tightly comforting her.Eva couldn't say anything as she closed her eyes tightly, praying her son would feel better. A thought invaded her mind, making her pull away quickly, her face covered with concern.“Amy, the coffee order… I don't know…” Eva mumbled, feeling confused and at a crossroads.She needed the money, that was undeniable, but she couldn't abandon her child.“Don't let that bother you, you can always call later and explain, or I'll drop it for you while you wait to hear from the doctors…”“Jay Adams’ mother?” A nurse called from behind them, cutting their conversation off.“Yes, that's me, how's my baby doing?” Eva asked in panic, her face full of anticipation.“Your son's awake and stable,” the nurs

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
“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
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
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.
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
“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
