Why did I knock on his door?

"Uughh... I..you... I..uugh" I stammered, murmuring all sort of nonsense.

Now, where do I start from?

"Go away" He said about to close his door...

Oh Good! I should return to my room quietly.

"Liam" I swear, I didn't know when I mentioned his name. I guess my emotion is faster than my action.

"What is it?" He opened the door again and asked me.

Please Liam, just lock your door already and leave me alone because I really don't know what has taken over me right now and even made you to open the door for me? Okay, he didn't know I was the one knocking at first.

"Uhmm...can I come in please?" I asked him...giving him a pitiful stare. He was looking at me too, at least; it was no more a stern look...his eyes were now clouded with tears again and I could see that he was holding back the tears.

"Do you want to console me as a stepmother or... " He paused and cleaned his wet eyes with his bare hands but the tears freely flow

So he put a phone to the family doctor. "Meanwhile Helen, cook something quickly for my brother to eat" Mark told Helen. "I would do that right away" Even the almighty strong girl with a tough heart was panicking.. (Helen). "I would join you Helen so that we could be fast about it" I told her then faced Mark; "Please do not leave Liam's side" I advised him. "Sure" He nodded."By the way, the doctor will be here soon" I joined Helen in the kitchen... I knew she had a series of questions for me already, so I decided to tell her everything even before she would ask me. "The thing is that I went to his room yesterday night to comfort him" I told her but she was so fast with what she was doing that she didn't even

    Eve's POV "Eve I am very sorry for how I have treated you" He said, avoiding to look at my face. This is unusual and it's making me really nervous. "Actually I wanted..uhm.. to apologise yesterday when it suddenly thought of it that you are only a young girl struggling to make ends meet plus you're very worried about your life, your Dad..but..but you just fell into the wrong hands; My Dad" He paused and summon up courage to look at me. "I yelled at you and I even hated you for no particular reason but guilty conscience is eating me up gradually" "It is...It's Okay" I told him. "No, it's not... I wanted to make you know I didn't mean any of the insulatives words I said to you, so I tried to uhm..talk to you in the car yesterday" He said. "Liam.." I cut in but he continued. "Yet I findit really difficult to apologize that is why I said made a statement that! 'If anyone else finds out about it, they will surely react the same way I reacted to you or even more

    Liam's POV "So why are you guys talking about my Dad and me? I heard everyone's voices and I know for sure that Mark didn't only do the gossiping " He said, folding his hands and giving us a stern look. We looked at him; speechlessly and our hearts were racing, Robert was more scared because he knew he said something bad about Liam. "Okay! That was a joke" Liam finally smiled and we heaved a heavy sigh of relief. "How do you feel now Liam" Mark, Madam Theresa and I asked at the same time. "Yeah. I'm better" Liam replied as he took his seat. I stood up, move towards him then I placed my palm on his forehead and my other palm on my own forehead to compare our temperature again. "Your temperature is normal now" I said..and he smiled. I returned to my seat to finish up my meal. No one was saying anything that was when I realized that they were all staring at me. "Uughh.?" I halted the awkward silence... "What did you just do?" Helen whispered into my ears.

    Eve's POV Mark and Robert did the same thing; pulled off their clothes and jumped into the swimming pool. But I wouldn't stop gazing at Liam's body; his built body was the s*xiest, probably because he was the oldest and the most matured one between the three of them. They joke and played as they swam around while Helen and I viewed what was going on from where we were. "Still drooling over Liam?" I didn't know Helen noticed me. "No" I blurted; feeling uncomfortable with the question, she just asked me.."I didn't say I'm drooling" I added. "Of course, you don't have to say it dear... It's very obvious" she emphasized the word 'very" "I don't know what you are talking about Helen" I rolled my eyes and she laughed. "Come on guys, come down here" Liam said again. "But we just said we cannot swim" Helen said brusquely."I know but just come down and..""And what... look at you all?" She questioned him. "Easy Helen" I whispered."Liam wants to talk to you all" Mar

    ... "Dad..what..." Mark bumped inside angrily. "I did what I had to do..." The foolish old man interrupted. "Or do you want to be sent out of the house also?" "For your information, you didn't send Liam out. He made that decision himself! That's what he said.." Mark fired back. "Oh, why then are you making a fuss?" Mr. Maya said. "Dad" He shouted then lowered his voice. "You know you are not being fair at all? " Oh by putting my darling little wife first before anyone else means I am not being fair at all? Really Mark?" Mark shook his head. "You have always been Mild Mark, don't get yourself into this... Just go your way" Mr. Maya added. Mark scoffed; "Well I can smell the spirit of shame that would surround me very soon" With that, he climbed the stairs. "Eve; my darling little wife" Mr. Maya came closer to me. "I am not feeling Okay" I moved away when he almost placed his hand on my waist. "Why? What happened?" He asked. "Wish you were like this t

    Eve's POV He walked me into his house, and I stared around..admiring the place. Although, it wasn't as big as his father's mansion but this building could still be referred to as a rich man's house. "If only looks could destroy... The house would have collapsed by now" He literally brought me back to reality. "Your place is so beautiful" I commented smiling. "My pleasure. Welcome to my humble abode" He bowed a little, demonstrating like a prince which made me. "Here" I handed over the bag to him; he received it and dropped it aside. "Have a seat" He gestured to me. "I didn't tell anyone that I was coming to your place" I muttered. "Did..did you then steal the food?""Steal? No way. Don't use the word steal... you asked me to bring you food, didn't you?" I asked him jokingly. "I did...yeah" He giggled. "Then I'll take my leave now" I said. "What... My refrigerator is stuck with wines, what can I offer you?" He asked; making me to sit. "Nothing...

    Eve's POV "Mr. Maya is back" Helen whispered to me as soon she opened the door to let me in... "Eve" I sighted Mr. Maya in the living room with a visitor. "Good evening" I mumbled...wondering if I didn't get on his nerves by going out without informing him."Where are you coming from Eve?" Mr. Maya asked me. "I didn't tell him that you went to the supermarket" Helen whispered to me again. "Errm I... went to see a friend" I said. "Do you already have friends around here?" "Yea..h, kind of" I stammered. "Is it a male friend?" He asked me. "No, he is not... I mean; No" I said. "Hmm... You are now a married lady Eve; you should cut off every friend you have... and even boyfriend. They'll mislead you" He said. Is that supposed to be an advise? Duh. I stood there; scratching my hair that wasn't even itching. "Come closer" He beckoned me and I obeyed.."Meet Andrew" He said; "Hello...my pleasure meeting with you" The guy waved at me and I just nodded. "Andr

"I can see that" He said. "Let me help you with this" referring to his briefcase. "It's okay" He said then we walked inside the office together...we entered the elevator which took us directly to the exact working entrance. "Good morning sir" Every worker greeted and I also waved at Daisy, George and Maria. "We are having a meeting with the Withney Company by noon...
