(Eve’s POV)

“Jessy?” I murmured.

My heart continued to thump, lost and confused as I stared at Callahan. He ended the call, not asking if I still wanted to talk to my daughter.

He sighed, put his phone back in his pocket, and gently held my face. “You can relax now, Eve. Rudy saw her in the lobby. He’s bringing her here. What happened at home?”

Home? I blinked the tears away, sad that Callahan made it sound like he was part of it. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. How could I explain that my daughter hated me because she saw me kissing Wyatt, and despite his lie, she knew what happened in the basement?

The soft knocks were my cue to ease back, and I sighed in relief when Callahan let me go. When I opened the door, Rudy smiled softly and looked over his shoulder enough to tell me my daughter was in my working area.

“Thank you, Rudy,” I murmured and walked past him. “Jessy -”

Jessy was in my seat, facing my computer monitor. I grabbed the backrest and turned the swivel chair whe

    (Eve’s POV)“Mommy, are you alright?” Cooper asked, taking my eyes away from my cell phone.My lips curved into a smile, and I nodded curtly to assure him I was okay. I returned my phone to my bag and pressed the small remote to open Moira’s car. With the gasoline price spiking almost weekly, I never considered using her Honda Civic. Five children would not fit there anyway.“Of course, she’s not okay,” Theo sighed, getting into the backseat. “She just told Mr. Barclay she’s feeling under the weather.”I did not mean to call in sick, but I was really mad at him after what Callahan did yesterday. My daughters could still be with me if he did not interfere with my life. I was not selfish, but I was sure Marcus had his reasons for not wanting the girls to come to her.“Where’s Rosie and Jessy?” Isabella asked, playing the buckle of her seatbelt.“Stop doing that, Isabella,” Cooper said when he entered the car. He looked over his shoulder and grinned at his younger brother and sister. “Wh

    (Cal’s POV)Bob entered the office and dashed to the couch, moaning in relief as he sat. He piled maybe about ten different sizes of shopping bags on his side.“I think I broke my shoulders,” he complained, but his hand was on his neck. When I ignored him, he looked in my direction. “Where’s Eve? I haven’t seen her all day.”I fixed my eyes on the documents. “I don’t know. She called in sick earlier.”We had a heated argument on our way to her place last night, so her call this morning didn’t surprise me. After what happened yesterday, I doubted if she still wanted to talk to me. She thought I was the culprit of her children’s decision.When Bob went quiet, I raised my head and saw him staring at me.“What?” I sighed, returning my eyes to the paper and rereading the same lines in the budget request. With my cousin’s accusing look, I knew he had much to say. “You’ve been shopping again,” I said, hoping to change our topic and looking briefly at the shopping bags. “Stress?”I could tel

    (Cal’s POV)“Daddy! Daddy!”I could hear Diana’s voice calling me excitedly. She was nowhere near the driveway, not even in the garden. She must be in the foyer, near the staircase, sitting on the first step like she usually does when waiting for me.Sighing, I unfastened the seatbelt and waited for a few seconds, but her voice faded. What could it be that excited my daughter that much?After that argument with Bob, I no longer feel like working today. When I checked my schedule, the only meeting left was with Millicent, so I told her we would discuss her concerns over dinner later tonight.The ding sound from my smartphone caught my attention. My eyes flickered on its screen, and I saw my schedule for tomorrow had been updated. I scoffed, taking my phone but not looking at the message, and got out of the car. Eve said she was under the weather, yet she bothered to do her job.I hated to admit it, but the world seemed to revolve slowly without Eve in the office.My forehead creased wh

    (Eve’s POV)I shut my eyes tightly for a moment, hoping to shake off the grogginess of just waking up. Then I saw the time.8: 45 a.m.My heart pounded as if palpitating, and I blinked many times, reaching for my phone to check the time.“Shit!”Seeing Callahan’s name on my phone screen woke me up completely. Sitting up in bed, I furrowed my eyebrows, my mind racing with questions about what he might want. Perhaps he had some clarifications about the schedule I sent him, or maybe something urgent needed my attention.Or maybe… he mistakenly pressed my number.“You’re the least of my concerns,” I murmured and sighed. With my limited time, my goal was set to make my family whole again, and I would start with Ben.Ben was my perfect candidate. Not that I loved him, but he was my only hope to reunite with my twins. Jessy seemed to like and trust him, and Rosie seemed to depend on her twin sister these days.I swiped my screen, pressing Callahan’s number to send him a message. I paused, co

    (Eve’s POV)My eyes narrowed, and I smiled sadly as I tried to utter a joke. “The pin to his hidden account in Switzerland?”“Huh? What?” Ben’s eyebrows furrowed as he processed the words.I chuckled, shaking my head. “It’s a joke, Ben. Relax, okay?” I would have been glad if it was true, but my late husband left me with nothing but debts and five children.Ben laughed briefly, the color to his face returning. “Until now, I have still been thinking of Marcus. He was like a brother to me, and I felt I failed him for not being there.”That made me pause, even though I wanted to assure him it was okay. It would not hurt me much if my joke were real, or at least he had thought of me before passing away. Yet Marcus’ last word was not about his love for his children or me, but his best friend’s name.“It’s because you dreamt of him,” I muttered, wanting to tell him that even in death, Marcus was unfair, never showing up in my dreams to at least comfort me.“I hoped it wasn’t a bad sign,” he

    (Eve’s POV)“Do you have to remarry?” Bethany asked curiously after our long debate on whom I should choose. We talked about it, and I listened to their opinions about Ben, Bernard, and Wyatt for the last two hours, from the coffee shop to the shopping mall. For Marga’s sake, we had to return to the mall to buy more baby stuff. The Christmas rush made me dizzy as the days inched to December 25th. I agreed to come to shop for the kids, but the crowded mall made it impossible for me to think about what to buy for them.I wrinkled my nose, shrugging my shoulders because the answer I had to her question was something I would never dare share at the moment.“She’s lonely,” Marga chuckled.Bethany rolled her eyes. “She has me. Us.”Marga stopped entering the baby clothes shop and turned to Bethany. She pouted and shook her head. “We can’t make her happy, Beth.”Bethany lifted a brow. “We’ve been doing that for many years.”She leaned forward and whispered, “You know what I mean.” She turn

    (Eve’s POV)“Faster!” I moaned, my voice hushing beautifully across the room while my fingernails dug into Callahan’s skin.“My pleasure,” Callahan smiled, thrusting into my core deeper, faster.The bliss of too much pleasure made my toes curl, and I screamed, crying his name. Then… I gasped, my brows furrowing when he suddenly stopped and looked closer at me, shaking my shoulders.“Mommy! Mommy!” cried Isabella.“Huh?” I groaned when I heard my daughter’s cry. I opened my eyes and blinked confusedly at the same ceiling I was staring at while Callahan buried his heavy and massive manhood inside me. My body jerked at the small hands, shaking my shoulders and pulling my arms.“Mommy!” Theo screamed, grasping my right arm hard with his hands.My heart hammered my chest as I met three pairs of eyes, round and scared, looking at me.“Mommy, are you okay?” Cooper asked worriedly.“Huh?” I swallowed hard, blinking again and quickly processing what happened last night.

    (Eve’s POV)Perhaps dating a younger man like Bernard was a bad idea, I thought to myself.‘Stop, self!’ I told myself, sounding like a decade older than Bernard when I was only two years older than him. I sighed when I glanced at my phone screen, realizing my date was thirty minutes late.I crossed my legs, picked up the cup, which was almost empty, and looked outside the window of Shay’s restaurant.On my date with Bernard, I didn’t leave home early. I didn’t suspect the first time as I was too nervous and focused on my date with Ben, but when I saw my children earlier, I had to check the kitchen, which was messier than I imagined. The sink was overflowing with dishes, and the floor was scattered with crumbs. Still, I arrived on time at Shay’s and was still lucky to get the same spot as my date with Ben.“Finally!” I breathed, a mix of relief and annoyance washing over me as Bernard finally entered the restaurant. Despite the wait, I managed to keep my patience intact. I had to meet

    (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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
