I swallow dryly. Looking aware from him and from the man, I fold my hands against my chest. The man following my gaze, sees Leonard standing feets away from us. I think I heard him chuckle afterwards.

He gently lays the coat on my legs and stretches his hand “I'm Seb as in Sebastian.” He says but I don't make any move to reciprocate his gesture. My hands are tied the same way they have been for the past seconds.

When he's finally out of sight, I let out a sigh of relief just as Leonard comes back to sit across from me. He doesn't say a word and I don't either. I simply take the coat and throw it over my shoulders. Feeling better, I close my eyes and breath out.

We wait in silence for the longest couple of minutes before the door leading to the ward slightly slides open. I don't make any move to stand up but Leonard stumbles to his feet and blocks the doctor.

“Is she okay? What happened to her? Will she be discharged soon? Can we see her now?” He bombards the doctor with questions

    Still holding my hand, Leonard and I both cast a look at the doctor. Please say you have a match not me, I whisper in my head as we both wait for the doctor to say something. But he shakes his head “no match yet, I'm afraid Mr Sinclair. But we are doing all that we can to make sure we find the right blood match for her.” He turns around to walk back into the ward but just when he's about to walk away, Leonard calls after him “my wife will donate blood since it's a match.” He says firmly. I fearfully look from the doctor to him as my widened eyes become bloodshot. How can he insist I donate blood? Not having any strength in me to fight, I just stand there and watch the doctor say nothing to either of us as he observes us for a while. I hate Leonard Sinclair and I wish him nothing but the worst.“But…” “No buts doctor, let's save the woman who's in the emergency theater first and worry about a fetus later” he says firmly not casting any glance my way.I suddenly lose all my streng

    He holds my hand but then smiles. “It was a miracle. I can't explain it but your baby is healthy. We had to inject you with some more folic acid for the baby. And a dose of vitamin did some miracle to the being growing inside of you” he says. That is all I want to hear now. I prevent myself from tearing up from happiness “thank you doctor.” I say. “Even though it was a narrow escape but your baby survived” he adds and I nod my head.“Please doctor, can you not tell my husband anything about my baby? If he asks, tell him I lost the baby, please” I beg, even though I doubt that Leonard will ask the doctor anything about our child. Such a wicked soul. I hate Leonard Sinclair.The doctor looks at me confused. He opens his mouth to say something but closes it again. He tilts his head to the side and smiles at me before saying “I will do as you've asked Mrs. Sinclair. Just try to take care of your body. And you should rest very well after this too as you are free to go” he tells me and

    “Hello,” I say over the phone to Maya the moment I'm back to the Villa.“Friend? How's vacation going?” She asks and I sigh heavily. “I'm coming back. I need the Lawyer's contact. I'm divorcing Leonard” I tell her, preventing myself from tearing up again. “What happened? Are you okay? Are you still in Manila?” a concerned Maya bombards me with questions. “Yes. I'm taking the next flight back to Chicago. When I come back, I'll tell you everything that happened” I tell her. “Okay. I'll send you the Lawyer's contact okay?” She says just before the call comes to an end. I book my flight online using my phone and arrange all of my stuff. I have a quick shower and I dress up in a simple green jumpsuit. I let my hair fall. I take my box from the bed and start pulling it down the wooden stairs. I'm trying to be fast in order not to meet anybody here. I get to the living space and the front door instantly opens up. Leonard walks in. He's alone. I igonre him and continue dragging my box t

    Evelyn's POV I glance at my reflection in the mirror as I curl the last section of my auburn hair. The soft waves cascade over my shoulders, framing my face in a way that's beautiful. My makeup is light yet elegant—a touch of blush, a soft shimmer on my eyelids, and a nude lip gloss that enhances my natural look. Satisfied, I smile to myself, feeling a rare sense of hope bubble within me. He's going to love it—he’s going to love me. I smile to myself even more. I walk to my closet and retrieve the long purple dress I bought yesterday specially for this occasion. The fabric flows like liquid silk, and the color complements my fair complexion. I chose it because purple is Leonard’s favorite color—at least that's what I thought—and I wanted to wear something that would catch his eye. As I slip it on, I recall the one time Leonard complimented my hairstyle. His exact words were, “You look good with your hair like that.” That small moment had stayed with me longer than I’d like to ad

    Evelyn's POV My grip on the box of cookies in front of me tightens as I stand and stare at Leonard and the blonde lady on top of his laps, her legs straddling him like they belong there. Her hands are wrapped around his neck, fingers lazily playing with his tie. She leans in close, her lips near his ear, speaking in low tones that I can barely hear. She's wearing white snickers and black shorts. Her long hair blows about her down to her waist. What she's saying is making Leonard chuckle. And it's been so long I saw Leonard laugh genuinely from his heart. I feel the pain cut deep into my chest. This is the same woman, I remember her from her hair and the same Zara bag sitting on the mini table in front of them. Last I checked, after the last encounter with her, Leonard told me that he asked her to leave and that she was away for good. He told me he didn't have any plans to stay connected with her like he used to. He told me he had set boundaries between them. He told me I was th

    Evelyn's POV Where are you?” My best friend's voice ask from the other end of the call. “I'm in my car. I'm moving, why?” “Where to? Girl, I just saw your husband” “How? Where? Was he alone?” “Calm down. One question at a time” Maya says “I don't know if he was alone but he was coming out of Luxury Mart. I see he's getting you something different —other than jewelry or makeup—and bigger this time. Ouuuuuu” I let out a sigh. Even if Leonard is getting me something, I'm not interested in whatever he is getting. At this moment, I'm pissed. “Ohh, okay. I suppose he is” “Wait, aren't you supposed to be happy? He was carrying a large bag. I'm sure it won't be the regular small jewelry box this time” “I guess so…” I reply not knowing how else to respond. I don't want Maya to know how I'm feeling or what happened today but I'm partially failing to hide my feelings completely. “Why are you sounding like that? Are you not happy?” “No, I am. I'm just a bit under the weather. I

    Evelyn’s POV Leonard has been away most of the time for two days now. I see him only in fragments of minutes. We haven't had any time to talk “What will you be doing today?” Leonard asks during breakfast. I plan to ignore him but I blink my eyes and force myself to speak “I will meet with Maya after which I'll go to the company and observe things. I've not— ” I say but he cuts me off “I've told you that it's time to give up this textile company. It doesn't suit my image. If you want to work, I'll consider creating something else for you. Something better off. You are my wife and you should do what I say” I look at him and suck in a breath. I ignore him and don't respond. So now he knows I'm his wife? He didn't know that when that woman was straddling him. He didn't know that when he forgot about our anniversary. Or when he bought a bag but not for me. It's been two days and Leonard still hasn't said anything about Clara or the handbag he bought that day, the silence between

    Evelyn's POV I turn around to see Leonard standing at the door. He looks more handsome than usual under the neon pink light. His thick brows glister like diamonds. His massive shoulders fill his coat he's wearing in a way that's annoyingly appealing. I can't count how many times I've fallen for these looks. “You are here” he says and starts coming closer to me. But I don't speak. When he's close to the bed, he lowers himself at the edge of the bed to meet me “I told you I'll make up for our anniversary, right?” I shift my eyes away, fixing them on the silk robe draped over the chair by the window. I try not to look at him. If I look at him too long, I’ll cave. I’ll forgive him. And I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet. But then, damn it—he smells so good. That cologne, the one I love, curls around me like an embrace I never asked for. I can’t stop myself. Slowly, I turn my head to meet his gaze. “This dress will look so lovely on you” he says. “I picked the perfect color,”

    I go after him and when we get to the living room, Clara is on the floor. I expect Leonard to ignore her and come back to me but he doesn't. I stand there and watch him kneel close to Clara. He examines her pulse and press his palm against her forehead to check her temperature. “What is it? Are you okay?” He asks, shaking her profusely. I fold my hand against my chest and watch them. She keeps wailing, turning on the floor like someone who had been flogged. “Say something…Clara?” A panicking Leonard calls out. He suddenly turns to me “babe, call 911. Call for an emergency, don't just stand there.” I don't buy it. There's everything in me that makes me feel like Clara could be acting up so, I gnore him and just watch him for seconds as he tenders to her. When I don't move or try to do anything, he stands up and comes to where I am. He grabs my arm. “Come on, Eve,” he half yells in panic “I told you to call emergency. Are you this wicked?” He pushes my hand away which almost sends

    The moment my eyes lands on her, my body stiffens. It's enough to make my heart lurch and my stomach twist into a knot. I almost feel like throwing up. Clara is standing at the door, her blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She's also dressed casually in a play suit and a white All stars. Leonard reacts instantly stepping in front of me as if to shield me and stop me from seeing who he is talking to but it's too late already. I've seen her fully.“Eve, go back inside. I'll take care of this” he says but I don't move. I can't move. My body suddenly feels stiff and heavy. I'm trying to understand what is happening. “Didn't I tell you to leave? I told you to go okay?” I hear him tell Clara but his voice is soft like he's begging her instead of instructing her. “I can't Leo. It's not like I knew you guys were coming here. Your mom gave me the place to use for a few days.” She speaks boldly like she has every right to be here or be around here. I still haven't found anything to say. I

    “What is it?” He asks the moment he walks into the kitchen.“Someone is here other than the two of us” I tell him, pointing at the sink filled with dirty plates and pot. He walks closer to me “are you sure? No one has access to this place but me and my mom” I stroll to the sink and put my finger into the pot “and it looks like it was just used recently. Babe don't you think we are being watched or worse, ambushed?” I say, my voice quieter but edged with so much unease.He chuckles, his head tilting slightly as he studies me, dipping both hands into his trouser pockets. “Come on, Eve, really? What are you talking about? It was probably the people who did the renovation. They were possibly hungry and decided to make good use of the kitchen before we arrive. Remember I told you it wasn't in use before” He says “There's no one here other than us, I promise.” I want to believe him. The logical part of me fights against the creeping paranoia, reminding me that it could very well be the w

    I'm sitting still in front of my dressing mirror smiling at myself as I apply some makeup on my face. Just last night, I spoke to Maya and didn't sound like she was still upset with me. Even though over the week she'd tried not to be pushy or show any resentment but I always knew from her tone when she spoke that she was still really skeptical that I am back with Leonard but last night, when I spoke to her, she sounded happy for me. When I finished my makeup, I find my way downstairs to find Leonard. I'm finally going to break off the news about our pregnancy to him on this trip we are going for. I don't see him anywhere in the living room. The last time I saw him, he asked some of the servants to take our luggage to the top of the roof where the helicopter was waiting. I open my mouth to call his name but turning around I see him walking inside the house looking all dashed like the most handsome man I know him to be. He's in a simple black shirt and brown plain trousers. “Hey..”

    “You are here,” he says upon seeing me. “Where's Clara?” I find myself asking.“She's err…it's just us” he replies. “Come have a seat” Accepting his offer and wondering why he's speaking so calmly to me, I walk to sit down a far length away from him. Opposite the couch he's sitting. “I didn't come here because you asked me to, just so you say” I announce. He sighs “Eve, I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to be like this” he says. And I can hear it in his voice that he is being sincere. That he means his apology. “Clara, and I, we…please I want you back home. Back here. Forget about Clara. It's you I want to be married to.” he says. He goes quiet after that with neither of us saying anything until when I can't hold it in anymore. “But why Leonard? What happened to choosing me? Why? And on your birthday. Why Clara? Why me?” “I said I'm sorry.” He cuts in “you know how difficult it is for me to apologize and since I am, you should believe that I am very serious about what I am saying
