Eve's Obsession Chapter 49 – The Biggest Joke
(Eve's POV) “That was…” I opened my eyes and glanced at Bethany, hoping to glare at her, but Marga caught my attention. Her palms on my youngest child’s face, covering my daughter’s eyes. “Not you,” finished Bethany, smirking and turning her head to the pathway. I glanced over my shoulder, following her gaze, and saw Callahan and Rudy walking away. When I turned to them, Rosie walked in the opposite direction, taking Isabella with her and fetching Theo from the other table. My lips parted, unsure of what to say. My heart was in revolt, angry at Callahan, but when I saw them leaving the party and Rosie not looking at me, I realized I had done something wrong. No! It was wrong. I shouldn’t have entertained Bethany’s joke. I shouldn’t have kissed Wyatt. Bernard cleared his throat. His lips curved into a gentle smile but didn’t reach his eyes. He looked hurt. “I wanted to stay, but I remember I have papers to check,” he told Bethany. When my best friend lifted a brow, he chuckled a

(Eve’s POV)“Eve…” Marcus whispered, shaking my shoulder gently.I let out a deep groan, quietly complaining to myself. I rolled to the opposite side of the bed, hoping to get more sleep. I had not slept in days because Cooper had been having asthma, Theo had a fever because of infection, and I had been feeling under the weather for days.“I’m sorry, sweetheart, but Jessy’s fever is not going down,” Marcus muttered worriedly. “What should I do?”“Huh?” Hearing Jessy’s name woke me, but I could hardly open my eyes.Jessy seldom gets sick, but when she does, it is usually so severe that we have to bring her to the hospital. I groaned and tried to open my eyes again. Marcus had just returned from his business trip last night, but he told me he would look after the kids so I could get a few hours of sleep.“Eve…”“How’s Jessy?” I asked with my eyes still closed.“Eve, Jessy’s missing.”Missing? Still dazed, I opened my eyes.“Marga?” I mumbled confusedly, squinting and wondering why my be

(Eve’s POV)Millicent grabbed my arm and pulled me to the pantry before I could reach Callahan’s office. I winced, feeling her fingernails digging into my skin. My body jerked when she banged the door and pushed me, pinning me to the wall.“You bitch! Of all days, you chose today to be irresponsible!” Millicent snarled, squeezing my arm harder. “Just because Cal is giving you some sort of special treatment, you’ll abuse his kindness!”“Millicent,” I groaned, wincing at the pain. “Cal -”“Know your place, Eve! You are not friends, so don’t call him Cal. He is Mr. Barclay to you,” She interrupted, not letting me finish, and gave my arm one hard squeeze before releasing me. I lifted my hand and lightly brushed my fingers over the area. My lips curled in discomfort, and I flinched again when Millicent banged the door on her way out. I let out a heavy sigh and glanced down at my arm, still feeling her tight grip. I groaned when I saw the visible marks left behind by her forceful grip.Al

(Eve’s POV)“Mommy! Mommy!”Isabella immediately took her small pink backpack from her chair and sprinted excitedly toward me. She gasped, halted abruptly, and turned around.“Hurry, Theo!” She said, her eyes wide, realizing she had left Theo inside the classroom. She lifted her arm to wave and giggled. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Garcia. I’m just excited to see my mommy. Goodbye, and see you tomorrow,” she explained in a hurry, extending her arm and reaching her brother’s hand.When I arrived at the classroom doorstep, only two students were left. Their class ended two hours ago, but Rosie’s class was until one. Mrs. Garcia stopped checking and stood up, heading in our direction.“Ms. Bennet,” she smiled, surprised to see me.“Hi, Mrs. Garcia,” I greeted her, taking Isabella’s bag. “I can’t thank you enough for letting these two angels stay here this long,” I said, smiling gratefully at her.“You’re early,” Theo muttered, eyeing me suspiciously. “Marga said you don’t work in the library anymore

(Eve’s POV)Slowly, I opened my eyes and turned my head on the alarm clock on the side table. It was three in the morning, but instead of believing the time, I reached for my cell phone to check the time and date. My lips curved into a smile, and I sighed softly, getting up and processing what to do.I could not undo what happened yesterday. What I meant was getting late and making horrible mistakes at work, costing Bethany and me our jobs. The Wyatt-and-Callahan incident was another story. And Jessy? Again, that was another story.Before I entered Moira’s room, I read her reply to me. Callahan fired her, not because she was incompetent but because of her relationship with me. It was unfair!“Good morning,” Bethany said, almost whispering. She was drying her hair with a towel as she walked toward the dresser. “You’re up early,” she continued, still in a hushed tone.Marga rolled to the other side, occupying the space I was sleeping in a while ago. She groaned but didn’t wake up.“Toda

(Eve’s POV)“Finally!” I murmured and sighed in relief when I was alone in the elevator.Bethany spoke continuously from the basement until we reached her stop on the eighth floor. She apologized many times, explaining that she was just nervous about the meeting. This side of her was new to me, although I knew she was not as calm as Marga.I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head as if they were enough to wake me up. I let out a sigh, thinking of how many cups of coffee I had to drink. I thought of sleeping on our way to the office, but Bethany must have been possessed by some annoying spirit playing a non-stop song.Only one song!She was singing Lathi while driving, and there was a line she perfectly sang, and when I asked her what it meant, she shrugged and giggled.“I don’t know. I searched it online, and it said you couldn’t run away from your mistakes,” she answered, singing again.Weird. Not that I wanted to argue with the singer, but I wasn’t running away from my mistakes; I

(Eve’s POV)Callahan stared at me without his eyes flinching. His gaze pierced through me as if he was trying to rack my brain. This was weird. Why did he have to know when he didn’t care? Although today, his first but my second, I clearly remembered what he said. He didn’t want to be responsible, but at this moment, he seemed to pull out my tongue to tell the truth.‘No, no, no! My mind screamed as if he could really read my mind.The shrill, persistent ring of the cell phone echoed in the small room. I jolted, thinking my heart had jumped out of my chest, when the ringing stopped.“Eve -”‘No, no, no! I cried in my mind.Ms. Jung saved me again when the phone chimed with a message. Immediately, I swiped the screen and sighed in relief, quickly reading her text message. I stood up, ready to escape Callahan, but Bethany grabbed my wrist.“Where are you going?” she asked, her eyes wide and worried. “Sorry, it’s a joke. I’m not trying to -”“I know,” I said, raising the phone. “But Mr.

(Eve’s POV)“Cat support?” Bethany laughed again, her palms on her stomach.When we got to Callahan's office, Bob and Bethany insisted on knowing the story behind the ‘cat support’ story.Callahan wasn’t there to object, so I told them about it without telling the whole story, of course. I had to make it believable. Probably because of lack of sleep, Bethany did notice I wasn’t looking at her when I told the story. Bethany would know if I were keeping something from her. She could not stop laughing while Bob only rolled his eyes, shaking his head.“Okay, enough,” I said, raising my hands. “What’s this meeting for?” I asked, glancing at the time.As if someone had pushed the stop button, Bethany sucked in her lips and looked at Bob.Bob tilted his head, widening his eyes at her.Bethany looked elsewhere and shook her head as if understanding each other in their silent communication.“Hello,” I said, waving my hand at them. “I didn’t get the password,” I joked.“Password?” Bethany lift

Eve's Obsession Chapter 78 – Eve’s To Blame
(Eve’s POV)It was chaos, and then I realized it was just me.My hands were cold, and I could hardly think straight. The faint hum of machinery and the soft whispers of other patients created a backdrop of nervous anticipation. As to how we reached the hospital, everything was Callahan’s doing. We sat in the waiting area, patiently waiting for her to complete the CT scan.If Callahan hadn’t been there, I would have carried my children to the car and driven them to the hospital, but given the situation, after quickly assessing the situation, he said my youngest daughter mustn’t be moved from the ground. Isabella fell from the ladder she found in the garden in an attempt to save the kitten meowing from the tree. Theo tried to stop his little sister and went after her. Cooper was too late to pull them back.I turned my head slowly in his direction, glad that Rosie was there to comfort him, explaining over and over again it wasn’t his fault.Her brother was in shock, crying at his failur
Eve's Obsession Chapter 77 – Falling and Dying
(Eve’s POV)Me in his arms. And him inside me…I swallowed hard, feeling the fire spreading through my core to every part of my body. Although Callahan had no recollection of what happened, the drugs seemed to be stuck in my blood.“Eve?”My eyes blinked rapidly, waking me up from daydreaming. “Huh?”“I’ve no choice, Eve,” he said, showing his phone screen. “My driver’s already in your place, so…” He tilted his head, his eyebrows raised.A nervous chuckle escaped my mouth. “Of course.” Just the car, not me. This whole thing of repeating days was causing me paranoia. I breathed and nodded briefly. “Let’s go.” I turned around, hiding my flustered face.“Where did you go?” he asked, walking beside me.“Just…” I pursed my lips, pausing for a second. “It’s personal.”“Okay,” he said, opening the door for me and letting out a frustrated sigh. “Let’s grab a bite before going to your place.”I stopped walking; my eyebrows raced as I turned to him. “We had just coffee.”“Something to eat, Eve.
Eve's Obsession Chapter 76 – Finding Another Cotton
(Eve’s POV)“Your face,” Bethany said, hovering her index finger on her face. “Don’t look at me like that, Eve.” She groaned and stood up. “I need coffee.”I expected Callahan to pour out questions, but he didn’t. Instead, he leaned on the backrest and closed his eyes. Stress and exhaustion were visible on his face, but I was afraid to talk… to ask. He might wonder what I was doing there when I texted him earlier, telling him I wouldn’t go to work because something came up and I had to leave home with my kids. Looking at him, I wondered what happened to him when he suddenly disappeared in the hallway.“Stop staring at me, Eve,” he murmured, opening one eye and sighing deeply as if the world fell on him. His lips slightly curved into a smile. “If you didn’t send that message, I was probably in your place.”My face flushed, and suddenly, I felt hot. I swallowed hard, remembering what happened to us last night. It was insane and intense. If only we had more time, I would let him do whate
Eve's Obsession Chapter 75 – Different Company
(Eve’s POV)“Why are we so early?” Cooper slid into the passenger seat and buckled his seatbelt. He stifled a yawn and rubbed his eyes as he asked. “School starts -”I cut him off immediately. “Because…” I paused, pretending to busy myself with my seatbelt. “I’m leaving early for work, but I want to make sure you’ll have a good breakfast before going to school,” I lied, glancing at my two younger kids. “What do you want for breakfast?”Theo seemed not to mind the time. He leaned immediately on his seat and closed his eyes while Isabella’s gaze was outside the window.I let out a weary sigh, trying to shake off the lingering fatigue as I focused on starting the engine. Since midnight, I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. It felt weird having Callahan around five minutes before twelve and then… Poof! He vanished without a trace.The low rumble filled the air, vibrating through the surrounding silence. I glanced over, smiling, and hoped to lift their mood. Seeing the uninterested looks of my chil
Eve's Obsession Chapter 74 – Buzzer Beater
(Eve’s POV)I swallowed hard, and my breathing became shallow. I thought I flushed the drug out of my body, but Callahan’s touch turned me on.“You said you’d kiss me to wake me up. I think I’m still dreaming,” I murmured, returning his smile but wishing Callahan would decline and leave my bedroom.A smile flashed across his lips while his hand groped upward, stopping at my thigh. “It’s late.”“Yeah.” I couldn’t breathe. My heart was pounding excitedly in my chest as if it was dancing… celebrating.“You know, I’ve always had this fantasy about -” Callahan wandered his eyes around the bedroom, and when he returned his gaze on me, his lips curved apologetically. “Going here is such a bad idea.”A chuckle escaped my mouth. I tilted my head and asked, “About what?”Callahan’s breath hitched, his Adam’s apple moving as he swallowed hard. “I should -”“You should…” I bit my bottom lip, trailing my fingers along his jawline. “Why don’t you stay, Cal,” I whispered, almost purring like a cat a
Eve's Obsession Chapter 73 – Like A Déjà vu
(Eve’s POV)“Where did all that energy come from, Eve?” Marga laughed warmly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she glanced at her. “Argh! I need to sit. Order for me, Beth.” She took a deep breath, savoring the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee that wafted through the air as they stepped into Tony’s Café.Although Bethany looked as drained as Marga, she chose not to say anything. She went straight to the counter without asking for our orders.My pregnant friend pulled a chair and moaned. “Ahh! This is heaven.”“Sitting down? Heaven?” I chuckled, sitting across from her. “We have one store to visit. You still need to check the -”“Ugh!” She shook her head. “Oh, please. No, thank you. I’d dreamt of this, and even in a dream, it’s tiring. Right now, what I need is a massage. So…” Her eyes sparkled as she changed the subject. “Was it a date?”“A date?” I shook my head and racked my brain quickly to give her a believable reason. “A date shouldn’t be with a visitor.”She nodded, agree
Eve's Obsession Chapter 72 – Needing Distractions
(Eve’s POV)I blinked rapidly, my gaze fixed on Wyatt at the dining table, laughing hard at Harry’s joke. I managed to force a laugh at something he said that wasn’t even funny. I managed to finish the main course, but I could hardly swallow the cupcake dessert.It must be my instinct, but something was off about him. After taking another sip of the wine he gave me, I rested my clenched fists in my lap, controlling the tension through my body. I plastered a smile, showing him I was okay because Harry kept glancing at me every time my lips touched the glass.A sudden wave of heat washed over me. Was it the lingering effects of last night's fever? I returned the wine glass to the table, picked up the water, and drank it slowly, my eyes darting to my phone, a silent plea for escape. I glanced at Wyatt, and even without words, we both knew we were in the same uncomfortable boat.I tilted my head, suddenly seeing Wyatt so attractive. My eyes began roaming from his gorgeous face down to his
Eve's Obsession Chapter 71 – The More, The Merrier
(Eve’s POV)My children gasped when Cotton escaped Theo’s hold but giggled when they saw it approach me, walking between my legs and curling its tails as it meowed. When the kitten raised its head and met my eyes as if to say we had met again, I yelped and squeezed my eyes shut. This must be another dream.Isabella came to the rescue, picking up her pet. “Don’t be scared, Mommy. Cotton’s just greeting you,” she said, her eyes wide.A nervous chuckle escaped my mouth, and then I stared at Callahan, looking tired as if he had not slept a bit. He walked toward me after calling my kids to sit and eat breakfast.“What…” What are you doing here? I cleared my throat and changed my mind about asking him. Instead, I lifted my hand and pressed my palm on his forehead. “Are you okay?”Callahan grasped my hand and nodded. “I should be the one asking you that, Eve.”With wide eyes, I leaned forward and whispered, unconsciously saying, “You’re not supposed to come today.”He scoffed, releasing my ha
Eve's Obsession Chapter 70 – Mommy Is Sick
(Eve’s POV)I have an hour.“Cal…” I whispered his name, slipping my tongue between his lips.Callahan parted his lips for me and kissed me passionately, waking every part of my body. Slowly, he trailed my shoulders down to my wrists.A low growl escaped my throat, pushing my body against him. I must be sick… or maybe an addiction to him because whenever Callahan and I started touching each other, I couldn’t push him away or stop myself. I became a slave, letting him do whatever he wanted to do with me.The dampness between my legs and the heat crawling through my skin proved I wanted him now. I withdrew my hand from him, reaching the zipper of his pants and grasping his pulsing tool. My heart raced, feeling his already hard member. I moaned deliciously, feeling the tingling down my core. I was on fire!“Eve…” Callahan moaned, grabbing my hand and stopping me from pulling the zipper down.“How about we make that dream come true, Cal,” I whispered, taunting him.Callahan chuckled softl
