Eve's POV "Mrs. Pitt" I mentioned her name when we were done with the meeting. She headed outside the office with Liam and his father escorting her. "What's the matter, do you know her?" Liam whispered to me. "Yes, I do," I told him.."Mrs. Pitt" I called her name again but this time around, we were already outside and she was already walking towards her car. I thought she would snub me again but she smiled andwalked toward me. "How may I help you?" She asked me. "Do you remember me?" I asked her. "Hmmmn..." She hummed then paused; " Of course I do" She said; pinching my cheeks lightly as if I am one little kid..; "And I can see that you are now in a better place" She added and I smiled. "Can we have a one-on-one conversation please?" I asked her. "Eve! What are you doing? Listen, regardless of the fact that you know Mrs. Pitts before..does not permit you to.." Me Maya wanted to say but Janet's mom cut him off. "It's fine Maya. Excuse us" She said m
Female lead's POV "You really need to fill your kitchen with more and varieties of foodstuffs. At first, I didn't even know what to start with but I eventually found what to cook" I told him as I set his dining table. "That's so sweet of you. Now don't tell me you are leaving very soon just because you are done cooking?" Liam said. "Oh then what else should I do? Bath you?" I teased and he laughed.. "And cuddle me to sleep if possible" He added. "Huh?" 'Cos I was only joking around."Get..get something to eat for yourself too; we both returned from this tiring work at the same time" He changed the subject immediately. "Before you even say" I sneered then got myself a plate of the meal.. sat in front of him on the dining table. We are silently but I noticed he was stealing glances at me, maybe because I was staring at him, that's how I noticed. "What is it again Liam?" I just had to ask. "Because I am looking at you means I wanna request for something?" He re
"Now tell me, where are you coming from?" Helen blocked my way from coming in."But the driver just brought me here" "And I also know that you can call him whenever you are ready" She replied; "So tell me why are you just coming?" "Is Mr Maya around?"I whispered to her. "Hell no! You and him are acting like one cheating couple, he is not back and look at you too, you are just coming...you know I have been suspecting you since yesterday " She said and I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, you are right. I have a boyfriend " I said jokingly so that she stop blocking my way and it worked. So I ran up the stairs quickily "I knew it! Who is he?" She asked me. "I would let you know when the time comes" I hollared. "Oh My God Eve" "Gist me about Mr Maya instead" I told her when we got to my room. "That man, he woke up at exactly 10am.." She said and I laughed. "He asked of you and I told him, you have left for work...you need to see the way he was just perambulati
Liam's POV I sat down in my office; going through the files Eve's sent me earlier. I did that blearily because I was so bored and tired although we have just returned from recess earlier. I dropped the files and pen to have some rest then continue later instead I was stealing glances at Eve..who was busy typing something. I smiled; then I remembered last night, what made me think of Eve while I was lying to Clara that I have found someone better... Of course, Eve is by far better that Clara. Recalling why called me, made the sweet smile on my face switched into a frown. "I don't ever want to have anything with her even if she apologises one million times" I hissed. She broke my heart and didn't even bother to check up on me. And when she called last night, I actually thought that she already had a change of mind or something, only for her to tell me that she is inviting me her wedding party. What a joke! I tried to cast my mind away from Clara; as I focus m
He drove him home and pulled his brake when we were already close to the mansion gate. So I didn't have to call Andrew. "You are really not upset with me?" He asked me again just as I was about to get off his car. I shook my head and forced a smile. "Alright, bye dear" He said and I watched him drive away before entering the gate. Robert sighted me before I could even click on the gate bell. "What happened to Andrew?" He asked as he let me in. "I didn't call him because..a colleague drop me off.." I lied to Robert. " But I would let him know" I said. "What happened to you?" He asked, looking at my face. "Not...thing" I replied already walking into the house. I didn't bother saying Hi to Helen whom I knew that she was in the kitchen..as usual. I ran upstairs till I got to my room. Immediately I entered, I rushed to the mirror to look at my lips.. suddenly the whole scene recapped into my head that I didn't know when I let out a very loud scream. Mark an
Eve's POV "Good morning" Good morning" I waved at the other staffs as I headed to my office only to meet Liam standing there, with his hands on his waist.I froze; as I recalled yesterday. "Good Morning " He waved to my face smiling. "Good...good morning " I stammered and I headed to my seat. "I was expecting you" He said. "Why?" I asked him. "Just because. Damn! You have a lot of work to do" He said whacking the books on my table. "I would be expecting you in my office then.." He said and moved away when he got to his door.He turned back and said. "I just don't know why I love to see you around me" With that, he left. "Tell me you like me instead and stop joking indirectly with my feelings" I mumbled as I switched on the computer and began to work. Suddenly my phone beeped, I picked it up only to find out that it was from a strange number. ~"Hello" I said into it, after picking it up. ~"Am I speaking to Mrs Eve? I'm Doctor Thomas This nu
*** "He is awake" I told Liam. Ever since the doctor had permitted us to go into the ward; after the surgery was done... I have been staring at my father..and he just opened his eyes. "Eve" My Dad tried to speak and I held his hand. "You can't sit yet sir" Liam said to him when he tried to sit upright. "Eve, how is your husband?" My father asked. "Don't call him my husband" I frowned. "Mr Maya.." He wanted to say but I interrupted him. "This is Mr Maya's son; Liam" I introduced. "Do you feel okay?" Liam asked him and he nodded. "I'ld excuse you and your father now" Liam said and left the ward. "Dad" I fondle with his finger as I began to weep again secretly. "I have not seen Mr Maya around, and how have you been?" He asked me. I wiped my face and forced a smile.. "I am fine Dad, as you can see" I lied; "Mr Maya..he told son to come here with me. Mr Maya has really been a good man" "I told you, you won't regret getting married to him" My Dad said touc
The next morning, I informed Helen that I was already leaving for the hospital because Liam just called me on the phone and that he was waiting outside the gate. I actually told him not to come into the house because I knew that he was definitely gonna cause trouble with his father. Speaking of his father, Mr. Maya... I met him in the living room when I climbed down the stairs. "How is your father?" Mr. Maya smiled as he spoke to me. It's obviously a very wicked smile. I didn't want to speak with him, instead, I looked at him with hatred and disgust. "C'mon Eve, Why did I then give you a job if you don't wanna cater for your family by yourself. I still kept my promise after all" He came closer to me and put his hands on my shoulder which I slowly took them off and spoke coldly; "Mr. Maya, I'm in no mood for jokes... I'm visiting my father today" I told him. "Oh yeah, you need to do that quickly, get back to your usual self then we can have some time for oursel

We just couldn't wait to see eachother soon. ** Even after the make over artist was done making me look like a queen; my friends still helped in restyling my hair and dress.. They were all over me. Soon, it was time to get out of the hotel and heed to the wedding hall. ** The car door was opened for me.. Woah! Everyone is here. Liam and I recent photoshoot were pasted everywhere, including in on a bill board. They yelled 'Congratulations' and took several pictures of me as I walked gently into the hall with Janet and Helen at my both sides, looking stunning as well. ** The bride arrival was announced, I sighted my father, he seemed to be the happiest. I took a deep sigh as I headed toward the alter where Liam already was. He was looking more handsome, yeah! that's my husband to be. Liam smiled at
Eve's POV "One more year to get out of college and make this course serve as my side occupation" I sighed tiredly after lectures that day. "Same here, it's definitely gonna serve as a side occupation" Helen agreed with me. Yeah we already have a main job waiting for us out there. "Uhm, well... and as for me, it's gonna be my main occupation. Gosh I worked really hard for this" Janet said. "I'm so happy for you Janet, you would be a graduate in only few months time" I said and she smiled. Okay..so here in college, we usually stay together except if our partners are around though. We walked together and Helen sudden recieved a phone call and she exclaimed into the phone; "Really? What??" "Is something wrong?" I asked her when she ended the call. "Yes Eve..we have to get home quickly. Someone broke into our apartment" Helen told us. "What?" I exclaimed. I don't get why Janet do not look really surprised though, she also exclaimed 'What?' after me.
Eve's POV With tears in his eyes, he blessed our relationship. He apologised a million times for everything he has done. Seriously, assuming he had s*x forcefully with me, his apology wouldn't solve anything at all. We left Mr Maya's place later in the evening, at least when everything was a little bit settled and cleared. And before we left the mansion, Mr Maya spoke to us as if we were never ever gonna see him forever. He shared his property and wealth, offered us reputable positions in his companies, told us that distance doesn't affect anything at all.. he said whenever we need help, we must not hesitate to let him know. And by the way, Liam and Mark weren't able to convince their father not to travel. Then boom one day, he took his flight and left the country. I hope he gets the clear hands and mind, new him.. Since that's what he wants, we would just left him be and escorted him to the airport. All of us; his sons, Robert, Helen and I. Another shocking news was that Ja

"I would leave my companies to your care Liam, Mark can work under the company if he wants; Eve too..and even Helen and Robert... probably when they are done with college. Liam I'm sorry I didn't bother about you since you were little even up to the time you graduated. I have failed as good father" He said. "Father, no don't repeat that" Mark said. " I owe you all alot yet I do not feel like I have done enough to show how sorry I am or to cover up my mistakes" He spoke slowly and looked at me. "Eve, request anything at all from me. I would grant them all, I honestly promise" Mr Maya said. I nodded slowly. "I..I contacted your father and wanted to make things up, I'm glad he has recovered, yet I wish to refund the settled bills" He added.. "I.. I was
Eve's POVAfter we just had breakfast that morning; "Mark said my father hasn't been himself lately, he barely even go to his office too" Liam said. "Something worst? side effects?..oops! As a result of the whole issue" "Yeah. I think it's just regret and dejection. It's normal if he's truly sorry. Mark also said that he has been lamenting even after being told that he can go scort-free" Liam said. "Ohh" I mouthed. "I hope he'ld get over it soon" "I'm going there today to check up on him" "Can...can I come with you?" I asked him. "Uhm..." "He's obviously a changed person now, I'll go there as a visitor not his ex wife or something else" I told Liam. "You are not his ex wife" He touched my jaw. "Okay let's say.. I'm going there only because I would love to see Helen and Robert.." "Should I reintroduce you to my father as my girlfriend?" "Err..." "Are you ready?" "Don't you think it's still early to tell him?" I said. "I don't think so but if
Liam's POV "I have been through thick and tough, I.. I drugged your father, we hid our relationship, we met and fell in love in the most complicated way. I think I should start all over again, a new life elsewhere and you too" Eve said. "What are you talking about Eve? We are very much compatible now. There is no more situationship, you were not even married. We are good to go now Eve"I said holding her hand..almost pleading. "Yes we are" She responded, and suddenly hit her head. "What? Then why do you wanna break up with me?" "Gosh, what was I thinking when I said those break up words to you" She said, I was confused and surprised at the same time. "You ..you don't mean it" I asked. "No, I do not mean it Liam. A while ago, a negative thought niggled at me...making me think it's better we start a new life apart" She said.. "No Eve, let's leave the past in the past life and start a new life together" I said, staring at her..and she smiled.. I sighed in rel
Liam's POV "I just left Mrs Pitt's place, There's no video" I told Mark over the phone as I drove away from Mrs Pitts place, I left Janet there but I threatened Mrs Pitts that I would definitely come back for her. I'm not sure though, I just need to take care of my family first. "No evidence?" Mark exclaimed. "None" I answered again."I think we should ..uhm just let it go" Mark suggested exactly what was on my mind. "I'm so not trying to pertain or support what he has done but there's no proof, we sure know what it will result into if he goes to the police and turns himself in" I spoke, with one hand guiding my phone on my ear and the other turning the steering. "I invited the family doctor" Mark said. "Why? Is anyone Ill?" "Not at all but you know our family doctor is closer to us, I thought we could confine in him; I also know what's Wong with father is beyond ordinary severe sexual urges" He briefly explained. "Are you really gonna cut..?" I heard him g
Eve's POV I woke up early the next day and almost flinched out of the bed because we had to go to work that morning. "We can take a break" Liam said behind me, I turned to look at him.. "Good morning love/ good morning.." We said at the same time. He came closer to me and kissed my forehead; "How was your night?" I asked, looking up to his face. "It was fine" He said smiling widely. I couldn't detect that gloomy look; so I accepted that he had a nice sleep. I smiled back at him. "Did you say we should take a break from work?" I asked him and he nodded in affirmation. "We won't go to the office yet today is gonna be a very long day" He said. "What's your move?" I asked him. "Meeting Mrs Pitts of course" He responded. "Yeah, I know... I mean how? There's gotta be a plan or something, how are you gonna confront her?" "I'm just gonna confront her~directly but she won't see it coming; trust me. Reverse won't be the case okay?" He said, placing his hand on my
Liam's POV After she picked up, a few things she might need, she bid Helen and Robert 'Bye'.. yet she assured them that she'll come visiting. I have never been comfortable with her living under my father's roof. I drove to my place almost absentmindedly.. fresh tears clouded in my tears. Indeed blood is thicker than water. I didn't expect a single tear to drop from my eyes. "I need to rest, you too; do" I said, to her when we arrived at my place.We just completed one phase out of three phases. The three phases are divorce/seperation phase, the threat/those videos and finally to tell him that I'm having an affair with Eve, and I possibly want to spend the rest of my life with her. "I'm sorry"Eve said to me again, then wiped my tears with her cold palm." I'ld be fine" I told her then retired to my bedroom.***** Eve's POV After he left, I threw myself tiredly on the chair..but I was breathing too fast, so I had to just pause and i took a very deep breathe in then
