Chapter 1

01

 Eve's POV

  I have never thought that all this would happen very quickly. Fine! I know that I would never be able to choose whatever I want by myself because of the kind of life I'm living - Poor background, wretched condition and I've just been managing to survive... but I didn't know that being not able to make a choice would also affect me to choose who to marry or when. 

My father usually say that only a man can decide who he wants to spend the rest of his life with when he's already not the other way round.. but it's definitely not true, we ladies can make decisions too.

 Ugh.. sad, sad because someone like me can't decide myself, It's sad because he doesn't even care about my feelings and he thinks whatever he says or whatever action he takes is the best for me whereas, sometimes it's not yet I have no other option than to grant his request.

Despite the circumstances we've found ourselves in, I love my Dad very much, I usually heed to his advice because he has never failed me nor led me astray but this time around, looks like he's intentionally but innocently leading me astray.

My father wants me to marry a freaking old man! Because of money. He is literally selling me off to a rich Old man.

True Money is definitely everything but has it gotten to this stage? Just because we're poor, average I mean.. but we are still poor, I don't want to deny that sad fact.

Dad and I live alone in a old small house... Our environment is almost looking like a codemned village.

Yeah this is part of the reasons he wants me to marry one rich Old man who claims that he is ready to take care of Dad, his health, get him a good house and good occupation for me. An Old man that we don't even know, he literally just bumped into our house one day.

Another sad thing is that, this old man we are talking about is way older than Dad.

I've been trying to fight back my tears but I just couldn't hold it anymore. I let it flow freely down my cheeks.

Geez. Am I really gonna get married to someone who is older than my Dad, Someone who is also old enough to be my grandfather?

I miss those days when my mom was alive, she was such an hardworking woman.. she had a petty but manageable job which she used to support the family. Because of her, I was able to complete high school and we were both working very hard so that there would be enough fund for me to further my education into the College.

Well Dad already had the heart issues, so he only could support her in his own little way not until death took her away.

Assuming mom was alive, i won't be getting married to that shameless old man whose shameless name is Maya, Mr Maya. Whatever.

I haven't accepted to marry him yet but Dad is ready to sell me out most especially when he recieved a tip of $50 dollar from the old man.

Everything's just annoying and frustrating... That I cried my eyes out in my room then ran out of the house that particular day I heard about the marriage stuff.

Janet, my bossom friend lives few distance away from my house. Her house is an exact opposite of where I live, I guess where she stays is a what we should refer to as a comfort zone while where I live, is just a roof to lay my head under.

 It's funny how Janet and I are very close friends despite the differences in our financial background.

Janet is from a very wealthy family and she's trying all her best to help me.. She steals foods from her home to give it to me, she usually give me some money and she also gave me her old clothes which I still find new and very fine. But, unfortunately, her parents dislikes me... for the kind of girl I am.

So Janet and I usually meet secretly somewhere a bit far from her house.

As if she knew I was coming to meet her that day, she has already sneaked out of the house and was waiting for me at our usual spot.

I wiped my tears quickly but she already notice that I've been crying and that I was worried about something..which I came to tell her though.

" Teary red eyes and in case you don't know, this worried look doesn't suit you at all" Janet pointed at my face as she scrutinized my mood. "Eve I told you never to weep over stuffs as long as we're still best friends" Janet said; beckoning me to sit beside her.

I sniffed and tried to speak up.

"I don't think this time around, there's a way you can help. There's no way" I said.

"Are you doubting me now?" She asked.

"Well I brought food for you and few cash out of my savings box, don't be shocked.. I just received another allowance today... So tada!" She smiled and expected me to jump up and be excited.

"No Janet, it's not that.." I told her; shaking my head.

"What is it Eve? Open up to me, I really don't like this sad look you're putting on right now" She said.

"Janet... I'm.. I am getting married very soon" I stammered.

"Holy molly! What?? Why.. I mean how? You are just twenty... And I know there isn't any guy you're presently into unless you're hiding one from me but I doubt it ... so where is this marriage stuff coming from?" She asked me as she opened her mouth in awe and I bursted into tears again.

She's right, I don't have a boyfriend and if at all I should get married at this age of mine, it should be to a guy, someone only few years older than me not someone's grandpa.

" Oh C'mon.. you don't have to cry about it"

If only she knew who it was.

"Who are you getting married to?" She asked me.

"My Dad wants me to get married to one freaking old man.." I finally told her.

"What? What d' hell? Who is that?" She exclaimed.

"But ...but why?" She asked.

"He is very wealthy and he promised Dad alot of things as soon as we are married and you know how my Dad's like? He won't hesitate concerning anything that has to do with Money" I explained to her. And my Dad is a lazy but a good man... Even before his health issues worsen.. he barely involved himself into any business. It has always been mom and I.

"Oh My God, this is really bad" Janet said; biting her fingers.

"I don't know what to do Janet."

"What do you mean you don't know what to do? You are definately not gonna marry an old man! It's a No, No" Janet said.

"But Janet.."

"What??"

"He promised to take good care of Dad's health.. His Heart issues is increasing day by day and I don't wanna lose my Dad and neither do I want it to get to a point whereby he might need an heart transplant. No.. hell no. Last week, the doctor demanded for a million dollar before he'll commence any treatment. How do I get that huge amount of money?"

Janet was quiet for a moment then she breathe out and said;

"Since there's this freaking rich old man, why not let him take care of Dad's health first?"

"That's it, before he would give us a sum of money that is as huge as that, I would have to get married to him" I told her.

"First and foremost?"

"Life is a give and take afterall" I muttered trying hard enough not to weep again.

"Don't repeat that! " She cautioned.

"But it's true.... Janet I'm so confused"

"I'm confused as well. I don't want you to go astray. Treating your father's health is a right decision but getting married at this age to a old man is the wrong decision"

"I guess I have no choice than to follow the right and wrong decison"

"But why d'hell does he wanna marry you? You're too young!" Janet is fond of swearing and I'm kinda emulating her.

"I don't know, I just don't know. He has been married before, he lost his wife but he has two children in higher institution"

"Shit! This is so not good for you. You are practically also becoming a step mom to two grown ups"

At the mention of that, the feeling of sadness took over again and I began to whimper softly.

"I'm so sorry Eve" She pulled me closer to her and gave me a warm hug.

"You will get over it, I know you will"

"How? Hooow... I wish I was never born to suffer or go through a miserable life.." I lamented.

I really wish I was like her, I wish I had a proper life like everyone else.

"Sorry dear... Please stop sobbing" She said and patted my back gently.

"You know what? An idea Suddenly popped into my head just now" Janet said and I raised my head and I looked at her.

"What is it?" I asked..

She wiped my tears with her finger ..

"If this man provides you a good life, I mean after treating your dad and after he gives you a job or business to handle.. earn many much money so that you can stand on your own, I mean you'll work hard and be with him till you are independent.. then you leave him alone"

"What on earth Janet?" My eyes almost bulged out of its socket.

"Well...erm..I'm just tryna help.. and It doesn't affect him in anyways... and listen Eve, it's not like you're stealing from him, you just wanna work, earn money, get the fvck out of his life, travel overseas with your Dad, further your education, get a more lucrative job, live a wealthy live and have a boyfriend - turn- husband. ... Easy, Easy as A,B,C" She said.

What an advice.

I was dumbfounded for a while.

Janet is crazy but she's still my favorite friend. 

Let me tell you more about Janet, She's pretty, she says I'm pretty too but I don't feel like it because I don't eat well talkless of taking care of my look.

Janet has dated alot of guys while every guy sees me as a wretched girl and they avoided me like I were a Zombie. When Janet and I became friends, we walked together (we attended the same high school, My mom was still alive to sponsor me through). At high school, people called me all sort of names, like Janet's maid simply because she dresses in a more fashionable and in wealthy way while I wore what I had to wear.

I controlled myself to show no concern about whatever they say because Janet was such a good person and she takes sides me with me and shut them up whenever they start to insult me or my family.

"Okay Ok Eve, I'm so sorry if the idea I gave you was a dangerous and a bad one and it shouldn't at all come from someone like me..." Janet apologized when I didn't say anything word for a while.

"No, no... It's okay" I told her and stood up..

What she said kept on recaping in my head and it didn't sound too bad..

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah, Thank you for the advise, ...thank you for at least tying to brighten up my mood.." I told her.

"I'm leaving now" I informed her.

"Okay then... Here's the food I brought for you and the cash" She handled over to me a lunchbox.

"No, thank you" I rejected it 

For the very first time.

"And that shows you're sort of angry with me"

"No I'm not. I just don't wanna be a burden to you anymore"

"What?! I never complained and Why are we best friends then? Or wait.." She paused and glare at me .." I didn't steal the money I swear. It's mine"

"No Janet, because it's yours that's why I don't want it" I told her.

"Thank you"

"Recieve the food then, I told the maid to cook it specially for the both of us, I've already eaten and there's no way you're rejecting this food" She said and forced the handle into my hand which I reluctantly received.

"Thank you Janet"

"Everything is gonna be alright dear" She said and hugged me again.

She's such a sweet friend.

We departed..

While I walked back home, the dangerous advice she gave me recalled into my head.

I'm not the type of girl that can do such but I guess that's what I would do..

Yes, I would get married to Mr Maya, he will take care of Dad's health, I will have a job, I would save much money for the nearest Future and then one day boom.. I would escape.

I heaved heavily.. it might take me one - two - three years to stay with him.

I sighed again.

Eve's POV I talked to my Dad perfunctorily when I got home, we didn't even discuss about Mr Maya, I acted as if I was cool with it. Of course, I was sort of rest assured after speaking with Janet that evening. Tomorrow, I'll make sure I let her know that I love the advice and I'm doing exactly what she said.. "Dad Here's Supper" I announced, showing him the food flask Janet gave to me. I guess we will have to manage it. "Eat dear. I'm fine" He said. "Why? Have you eaten anything? Remember you can't take drugs if you do not eat" "I'm satisfied. I've eaten" "What? I haven't cooked anything yet" "I ate out, I've spent the money he gave to me" I knew immediately that he was referring to Mr Maya.. That old man. Dad is just so wasteful, I felt like bombarding him with words but I just couldn't, he is still my lovely Dad.. I'll forgive him a million time for he doesn't know what he's doing. I fought back my tears, ate and think hard about my life, I didn't know when I doze off. **

Eve's POV We arrived at a mansion, and the gate keeper came to open the gate. Mr Maya drove in and finally packed his car at the carlot. Wow there are so many cars. He came down from the car first, was about to come and open the door for me but I did that quickly. "Welcome to my beloved house my princess" Mr Maya said but I gave him deaf ears and looked around. The house is big and fine indeed, it's even finer than Janet's house... I actually thought Janet house was the most expensive apartment. "Come on in" He led the way and took me into his house. "Whao!" I exclaimed. I couldn't hold it anymore. "Yeah babe, that's what I was expecting from you" He said smiling because I finally gave an exciting response. "This is huge and beautiful" I said looking around. "You are free to go round and check it out" He said.. I hesitated by trying to compose myself but I just couldn't hold the excitement. I ended up dropping my bag of clothes and walk around freely. Does he live alone i

Eve's POV "This is your room" Mr Maya took me upstairs later after his son, Liam left us in the living room. "My room is downstairs. Anytime" He patted my shoulder but I took his hand off me. "Don't worry about my son cold attitude towards you. You are safe here, he can't send you away. Moreso he is going back to his school tomorrow okay?" I nodded, collected the key to my room from him.. "I would like to be alone" I opened the door and locked it immediately without letting him come in to finish what he started in the living room. I sat on the floor and rested my back on the door. Yeah the room is nice too. It's exactly what I expected after seeing the living room and the outer part of the house. Unlike my other house, here there was a queen sized bed and the room was well furnished. Infact it's the kind of fancy room i've always wanted to have. But Money doesn't always bring happiness. I began to sob silently. So my Dad knows Mr Maya literally brought me here to always sa

Eve's POV "Hey" I said to Helen in a friendly tone. She was rinsing her hand in the sink, i brought out the Kitchen napkin and gave it to her when she was done. "Thank you" She said as she dried her hands with the napkin. "You are welcome" I smiled while I also washed my hands in the sink. She looked at me, puzzled because I was being all nice and it was obvious I wanted to join her in cooking. "An helping hand" I told her.. "O...k" "Your name is Eve right?" She asked me.. "Yup! Eve" I responded.. she gave me the napkin when I was done rinsing my hands. "Are you Liam's new girlfriend?" She asked me. "What?" I blurted. "No. I'm not his girlfriend" I told her and she chuckled as she moved to the fridge and shoved out some lettuces leaves. "Who are you?" She asked. "Errrmm.. ..Mr Maya's new wife?" I told her the truth. "What d' hell?" She exclaimed. "Ewwwwww" "Errrrr... I was only joking" I quickly said and laughed it off instantly and she laughed too. "You are funny. Ver

Eve's POV "I am married to your father" I told him and he stopped walking and turned to look at me. "What? What nonsense did you just spew out of your mouth?" I sniffed but tears wouldn't stop rolling down my cheek. "He came to my house and asked for my hand in marriage" "My Dad will never do such a thing" He fired. "But I'm saying the truth.." "Are you stupid? An old man came to ask for your hand in marriage and you gave in just like.. are you dumb? No, you must be. You should be in high school right now!" He still didn't believe me. "I swear.. Your Dad promised to take care of my Dad and I if only I get married to him.. Dad has heart issues and the doctor demanded for a lot of money but there's no way we could get that amount.. I can't even further my education. I had no choice" I rushed my words. He gave me a stern look and didn't say anything for a while. "I... I'm not a whore... And I didn't know he actually brought me here to..." He cut in sharply. "Do you think I be

Eve's POV "I.... I am Mr Maya's wife" I finally confessed to Helen. "She is Mr Maya's Wife" Robert said at the same time. "What?" Helen exclaimed. "What do you mean you are Mr Maya's wife?" She asked me. "Using the word 'wife' sounds more better than saying his 's*x toy" I said. "I married him because his wealth would improve a whole lot of things in my miserable life but it turns out we are actually not getting married in the proper way" I briefly explained to her. "You see Eve, even a proper marriage with him is still very wrong" Robert said. "I know right" I said and sniffed. I'm really not gonna shed tears again, I'm tired of that. "What are you talking about Eve? Explain to me right away, Robert!" Helen questioned in a confused way. I wish I could just tell her that what I just said now is a Joke but no, it's not. "Mr Maya asked for her hand in marriage and she reluctantly agreed because he was wealthy and he promise to take good care of her. She needed money for her D

Eve's POV Mr Maya arrived home, immediately after Helen has left, I did the serving myself and pretended to be happy with him like I planned to yet, every damn glances at him, reminds me of what Helen and Robert told me about him. I took another seat in front of him and watched him eat as if I was his wife. Oh I am.. "Aren't you hungry?" He asked me..as if he is one caring husband. He's not, he's a s*x maniac. "I've had some just before you arrived" I replied with a smile. "Good then. I have a good news for you baby girl" He said. "Hmmn?" I hummed. "What is it?" "Will you give me some time to finish up with this?" He said referring to his meal. I nodded fondling with my fingers. What good news is it? I wondered. What kind of news could he say to me that would make me happy or make me fall in love with him instantly; eww nothing at all because that's not even possible. "I can't believe we are getting close right now. The way you now look at me, the frequent way you smile at m

Eve's POV "Why is daddy not happy about our arrival? Is this the expression he gave when he saw you? Or is it just me?" Mark asked his brother, Liam. "No Mark, it's not just you. I think Daddy wants us to live elsewhere. It's probably time for you to inherit one of houses while I move to mine" Liam answered sarcastically. "No, no Guys... I ermm" Their father scratched his head. "I... I..take my leave now" I stuttered, taking my stuff and new phone from the couch. "You see, she's not leaving," Liam said just when I was about to climb the stairs. "Sorry" I murmured because I didn't know what to say. With the look of things, I think I'm becoming a big burden to this family, especially to Mr. Maya's children, my stepsons. * "Mark are we gonna keep standing here like we are strangers in our own house?"Liam questioned his brother. " Ohh" He pulled his heavy bag off his shoulder and leaned it on a couch. Then took his seat... while his brother was about to go to his room. "Dad is

"What did you do Daddy? You gave my position in your fourth company to that small girl you called your wife?" Liam flung the door as he bumped into his father's room. "Liam you didn't inform me that you were on vacation or you would be vocation soon. You even lied to me yesterday, you only said you came to pick up some stuff" His father fired. "No, that's not what I'm talking about right now. What happened to my inheritance? What has taken over you Daddy?" He fired back. "Enough already Liam. You would manage another.." "I don't want any other one. That particular company is everything to me" He interrupted sharply and his Dad sighed and shook his head. Eve and Mark came in... Eve was sluggish and very scared to even utter the least word. Mr. Maya turned to her... "Actually Eve, the managing director position I offered you earlier is my son's occupation in that same company" He told her but she nodded and remain speechless. "Ugh. So her name is Eve" Mark remarked. "I'm sorry a
