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

He promised to inform me whenever it's time to discharged my Dad, nevertheless; we could still check up on him. Which I'm definitely gonna do. Liam drove the two of us to the office and he wouldn't stop smiling while I was nervous about what's gonna happen to us ~ regarding the stepmom and son stuff.. "Yes, I like you too and I'll let it remain like that " I said; yeah the least we can do is to let it remain at the point of 'Like', we can also lie to ourselves that the feelings we are having is a mere family bond. "Wanna know why I am so happy?" He asked me instead.. "Why?" I murmured. "Because I fell in love again shortly after Clara left me" He responded. What? Love? I cleared my throat nervously and rested my head on the car window. "I know what you're thinking" He said, I sighed and looked at him

"Uhm, well... and as for me, it's gonna be my main occupation. Gosh I worked really hard for this" Janet said.

"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..

" 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 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

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..

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.

"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?"

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
