Cheryl can't focus all day on work because she's anxious about Gery being close to the other woman there. At the same time, her plan with Dave had succeeded in putting Gery and Eve at odds, not in front of Mrs. Daphne. She needed something to break up Gery's relationship with Eve. There was no way Cheryl was going to instigate Mrs. Daphne, that old bitch wasn't easy to fool. Wait a minute, what if she made one of them leave?Cheryl had to make it clear who Eve was dealing with. That way, the ignorant woman would back off. Cheryl pulled the corners of her lips up, then pulled her cell phone out of her tote bag. Meanwhile, Eve was busy working in the office; she didn't even have time to think about her relationship with Gery, which was getting further away. All day, she only talked about work to Gery, nothing more. Eve's cell phone suddenly rang when she ate lunch made by her mother. Eve frowned at a series of unfamiliar numbers glowing on the screen. Who was calling her? "Hello?"
Cheryl, upset that her threats didn't work on Eve at all, tried to find other ways to get that girl away from Gery. Cheryl couldn't stand by and watch them get closer. She wanted to make Eve ultimately leave Gery's life.So, that night, Cheryl decided to call Dave again because she wasn't satisfied. She needed more than just that video to make Gery's relationship with Eve end."I need more than that, Dave," Cheryl told Dave as she sat with her legs crossed on the sofa. Cheryl's hand stretched out to pour champagne into a glass."What else do you want me to do? Didn't you say yesterday that my plan had worked? Gery and Eve's relationship is already broken, isn't it?" Dave replied with a frown on his forehead. With his free hand, Dave lit his cigarette."It's not really over, they still seem close in front of Mrs. Daphne. I want their relationship to be completely over, and Eve to never appear in my lover's presence again," Cheryl said with a growl at the end of the sentence. Rememberin
Gery only opened his phone when the meeting was over. All the staff had left the 8x4 room so she could respond to the messages flooding into her device's notifications. Dozens of missed calls from Cheryl made Gery's forehead furrow. Then, she calmly opened the message from the girl. "Gery, pick up the phone!" Gery started reading from the top message. "Gery, I want to talk!" "Gery, where are you?" "Gery, please pick up the phone! I want to talk!" "Gery, quickly clarify to the public that the real mastermind behind Eve's kidnapping is not me! Dave! Only Dave planned it, not me!" Gery closed his eyes. He felt unfamiliar with the current Cheryl. The girl was changing more and more. Not for the better, but... ah! Gery used to love her very much, but ever since the girl made a scene, it felt like his love was slowly evaporating. "Gery, you're already online, but why aren't you replying quickly?" It was a message that just appeared before a call came in. It was too wicked of Gery to
"Dave."Gery smiled wryly, remembering the owner of that name. Which loser had made bail to get him out of the prison? Exactly. When Eve disappeared, he was freed. If it was like this, shouldn't he be suspicious anymore?Where was the man hiding this time? It was easy for Gery to find and then rummage through. But that was not the right first step; he needed to find out who had helped him escape prison. Crazy. That person must be crazy! Gery was sure of it. Eve's disappearance must have something to do with this.The car continued to drive through the cold night. Flecks of snow began to fall, giving color to the black asphalt. Luckily, Gery arrived at the Foster residence soon, so he didn't have to worry about freezing from being on the road for too long.Just as the man opened the door, his Grandma suddenly appeared with a worried look."Where have you been, Gery?" The woman stepped closer to her grandson. "What's wrong?"Being shot at unprepared, of course, made Gery misbehave. In
Gery slumped in his seat. He wanted to believe that Cheryl didn't have a hand in this, but what was her reason for letting Dave go? This was the first time the man felt so messed up. Moreover, there had yet to be any news from Sofia.Gery turned on his cell phone again, dialing Cheryl's number, hoping she would pick up and explain, but it was useless. Again, the number was blocked. Not giving up, Gery opened Instagram and searched for Cheryl's name and name suffixes related to her career, hoping the woman had another account to be contacted. But there wasn't, only a picture of a poster for a model exhibition in France on November 24th. Gery's eyes opened wide. There was no mistaking it. The poster was a picture of her boyfriend.Gery pulled up her phone screen, looking at today's date. November 22nd. That means tomorrow. Suddenly, she remembered something. Gery quickly put his cell phone in his pants pocket and left the room. But what was his surprise when the employee desks were des
The police just arrived when Dave was helpless. They shackled the man and took him into the patrol car. Eve, who couldn't stop crying, was led out of the small building by Sofia. On the other hand, Gery chose to stay on Arnold's motorcycle and follow behind the Foster family car.The anger that had risen a few minutes ago had finally subsided, although the heartbeat was still pounding. At least Gery was relieved that Dave didn't touch or hurt Eve.The iron horse continued to move gallantly even though the one riding it was drained. Gery ignored his heavy head and continued to ride towards Eve's house. He felt that all of this was his full responsibility. If it wasn't for him, there was no way Eve would be in a situation that would traumatize her.Mrs. Kate opened the door, and upon seeing it was her daughter, she immediately embraced the frail body. The mother was kissing and hugging Eve while continuing to shed tears."Eve, my daughter?" Kate squeezed Eve's arms and moved them. "Oh m
"Eve, here's the breakfast." Mr. James came over with a bowl of oatmeal. He joined his daughter and wife, who sat cuddled on the sofa. "I'll feed you, okay?"Mrs Kate smiled while Eve giggled a little. "Dad, I am an adult now." Eve buried her head further into her mother's chest, making James remember his daughter's childhood."It's not about you growing up, kiddo, but if we hadn't realized that you'd been kidnapped so that you couldn't come back to Mom and dad, I don't know what would have happened next," Mr James' heart ached.Mrs Kate, who saw her husband's eyes glaze again, tried straightening her daughter's back. "Come on, it's been a while. Hasn't your father fed you?""Ah, what's wrong with you both? Don't tell me you're doing this because you remember almost losing me."That sentence pierced Mr James's and Mrs Kate's hearts with a deep stab. There was no mistaking what their daughter had said. Instantly, James felt very foolish as a father. He put the porridge on the table and
"Sofia." Mrs. Daphne placed her knife and fork on the empty plate. "I'm worried about Eve. How do you think she's doing?" The woman's old eyes seemed far away. "She must be very traumatized." Sofia, who had also just finished eating her breakfast, was silent. The woman remembered very well how Eve buried her head in her bent legs, crying and babbling because her body was shivering while the girl's forehead was very hot. "Come to your senses, Miss, it's Sofia!" She didn't answer, but I could hear her voice trembling. "Miss, don't do this!" Sofia pulled Eve's body and took her in a hug. "Let me go... what did I do wrong ...." The voice was getting louder. Instantly, Sofia's heart felt sliced. Poor girl, she didn't even know why she was kidnapped. "Miss!" Sofia forcibly lifted Eve's face. "Look at me, Miss! I am Sofia! Let's go home!" In a pitiful realization, Eve smiled mockingly. "Why do I keep getting dreams that seem real, God? Am I destined to go mad?" "Oh my, Miss Eve!" Sofi
The Axela, a five-star hotel in the city center, was Gery and Eve's choice for their engagement ceremony. The hotel was utterly transformed into a luxurious engagement arena with a beautiful view overlooking the sea.Dusk had just descended, caressing the earth with a yellowish-orange tinge; colorful decorative lights were lit, adding to the lively atmosphere of the ballroom. Gery and Eve's engagement room was filled with fresh flowers with striking colors adorning every corner of the room.The round tables were covered with satin tablecloths and silver trimmings for a luxurious feel. At the same time, a sparkling crystal chandelier highlighted the stage where they would be seated later.That night Eve looks elegant and feminine in a flowing white dress that follows her beautiful curves. The A-line cut of the dress at the waist gave it a mesmerizing silhouette. Not too tight, it flared downwards, creating a dramatic impression as Eve moved.The top of the dress is combined with an el
"Pranggg ....!"The loud sound of a glass being thrown to the floor filled the hearing of the residents of the Andrew family. A woman came out of the kitchen with hurried steps. She was the maid at Cheryl's house. The woman immediately rushed over to the source of the sound that broke the morning silence. The woman named Ruth stumbled into Cheryl's room.There, she saw a scene that had become more frequent and heartbreaking.Cheryl was standing by the window, staring out at the front yard.Ruth quickly grabbed a broom and picked up the broken glass without saying anything. She knew the lady of the house needed to be better. She had only been working at Cheryl's parents' house for three months since the girl was hospitalized. Day by day, Ruth felt her job was getting harder because Cheryl had been hysterical and throwing tantrums lately."Leave it there," Cheryl snapped when she saw Ruth picking up broken dishes on the floor."You could get hurt, Miss Cheryl, stay there I'll clean it
"Sorry, I'm sorry for being unable to be sensitive to your feelings. I'm sorry for making you jealous and hurt, Eve," Gery whispered softly. The two of them were still hugging, and the hug was even more potent when Gery whispered those words. Gery felt guilty. Even yesterday, he did not explain anything to Eve. However, what Eve saw earlier was partially true. Eve didn't see the incident until the end to come to that conclusion. When he felt Eve was calmer, Gery tried to release their embrace. The man looked profoundly and lovingly at Eve's nether regions. Eve was again made to blush because of Gery's sweet treatment. Eve then looked down, hiding her face that was flushed with embarrassment. Her hands also interlocked and twisted the hem of her shirt. Gery smiled slightly when he saw how shaky Eve's hands were. I don't know what made Eve so embarrassed. Gery didn't know. Either because of the sudden kiss he gave her or the words he had just said. But whatever it was, Gery felt happ
"I can't stay silent. Eve is so poor. She looked so sad earlier. I have to do something right now!" broke up Cindy quickly."It's good that they've made my best friend hurt but don't feel the slightest bit guilty. And Gery is so insolent too! What a man!" Cindy grumbled. She really couldn't contain her annoyance anymore.She didn't want her best friend to be sad because of Gery or whoever it was. Even though Gery was Eve's lover, she was unwilling to let that man hurt Eve. Cindy would not remain silent if that happened.Cindy still remembered how puffy and red Eve's face was. Her words were so heartbreaking. It felt like her best friend looked really bad. Eve herself had gone home by now. That's why she dared to speak harshly and curse Eve's lover.Without waiting any longer, Cindy hurriedly exited her seat and headed for her car. Cindy drove her car at a moderate speed. After twenty minutes, the car finally arrived in front of a large company. The company where her best friend worked
On the way, precisely in Gery's car to the office, Eve was silent. Gery, who saw it, was a little surprised, but he didn't intend to ask. She thought that maybe Eve didn't want to talk.When they arrived at the office, Eve didn't make a sound. The beautiful woman left without saying goodbye to Gery, still sitting in the driving seat. "What's wrong with Eve? Why is she acting so different?" Gery wondered, but not for long. The man shook his head and went downstairs and into his room. In her room, Eve immediately sat down rudely in her work chair. Her heart ached. Her feelings were all over the place now. She also needed clarification about what had happened to herself even though she was the one who had agreed to Mrs. Andrews's request. However, now she felt regret.Actually, Eve didn't want Gery to realize her jealous attitude. However, somehow, it was tough for Eve to hide it. Even earlier, she avoided Gery. Eve herself actually knew that Gery was innocent. Because even that man did
This morning, Eve and Gery had an appointment to visit Cheryl, who was still in the hospital. The two of them will go together. It was all on Eve's initiative who wanted to visit and see how Cheryl was doing. As a fellow woman, Eve also felt very sorry for Cheryl, especially after learning that the beautiful woman who works as a model has received little attention from her parents. Eve's heart ached to hear that. Eve is currently preparing in her room. She deliberately did all her routines casually because Gery himself didn't mind if he had to wait for her. That's why Eve took advantage of it a little to relax. Her cell phone ringing made Eve put down the powder she was just about to put on. A little lazily, Eve picked up her cell phone. However, a second later, she smiled when she found out who was calling her. Without wasting time, Eve picked it up and spoke up. "Hello?" "Hello, Eve. Are you ready? I'll be there soon. So, I hope you're ready and waiting for me out front. Don't
"Okay, goodbye. I hope Cheryl recovers soon so she won't be a burden to anyone else," Mrs. Daphne said sarcastically. Mrs. Andrews flashes a smile, but from the look on her face, she's forced to. Mrs. Daphne's words were striking enough to make Mrs. Andrews flinch. "Thank you for visiting Cheryl, Mrs. Daphne," Mrs. Andrews replied. "You're welcome. Give her my regards when she wakes up," said Mrs. Daphne. "Yes, Mrs. Daphne. Again, I am very grateful for the visit."Mrs. Daphne left the room with Sofia. Mrs. Andrews escorted her to the door of the room. Mrs. Andrews stared at Mrs. Daphne and Sofia until they disappeared. Mrs. Andrews walks back into her daughter's room. She stares intensely at Cheryl. Mrs. Andrews wants Cheryl to recover soon; she wants her daughter back to her old self. Mrs. Andrews sat by the bedside. Seeing her daughter helpless and covered in medical devices made Mrs. Andrews choked up. Her tears flowed unbidden. "I'm sorry, Cheryl," Mrs. Andrews said. Mrs.
For three days now, Gery has been seeing Cheryl regularly. She wanted to stop, but Mrs. Andrews kept begging. Mrs. Andrews wanted Cheryl to recover as soon as possible. "I've tried, Mrs.Andrews, but Cheryl hasn't recovered. How long do I have to do this?" Gery was naturally upset, as his work was also being disturbed. Eve stroked Gery's hand, wishing he had more patience to help Cheryl recover. "I apologize for interrupting your time. But please, help me a little more. I'm sure Cheryl will recover soon if you keep visiting her here," Mrs. Andrews said. "Yes, Gery. Just a little more, and I'm sure Cheryl will recover soon too," Eve added. They were now in the hospital, where Cheryl was being treated. Grey glanced at Cheryl, who was still lying weakly, not fully conscious. In his heart, Gery hoped Cheryl would recover soon so he wouldn't have to deal with Mrs. Andrews again. "Alright," Gery said briefly. He didn't want any arguments involving Eve. "I have one request, if you coul
"Eve!" called Mrs. Kate as she knocked on her daughter's bedroom door. "Yes, Mommy," Eve answered from inside. "Can you come in?" asked Mrs. Kate. "Just come in, Mom," Eve replied. Eve was applying a little makeup. The girl sat in front of the mirror, looking very beautiful. Mrs. Kate smiled when she saw her daughter. "Gery is waiting out front," said Mrs. Kate. "Really?" asked Eve. Mrs. Kate nodded. Eve quickly finished the makeup on her face. Eve didn't want Gery to wait too long for her. Eve took her sling bag and then put on her shoes. "Then, Eve will go first," Eve said goodbye. Eve said goodbye to Mrs. Kate and walked to the front of her house. Sure enough, Gery was already sitting with a cup of coffee. "Are you done?" Gery asked. Eve nodded, and Gery smiled slightly. Gery went inside first to say goodbye to Mrs. Kate. Afterward, Gery and Eve walked to the parked car. Gery opened the car door for Eve. After that, she circled the car and entered the driver's seat. Gre
