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
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
The wedding day. *Eve's POV Today is finally the D - day, I spoke to Liam over the phone; that morning; he said romantic and sweet words and wishes too. 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
Eve's POV " I need to start a life afresh, I'ld come back new. I already told my P.A to book a flight and get my versa. I'm travelling. I'm leaving this country for the benefit of everyone" He told us then continue.. "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
