Eva smiled, not uttering a word of encouragement to him. He had done what Alexander hadn’t, and she was indebted to him, but all she could offer him was her genuine friendship. After Maxwell left, she closed the door and turned around to check out the room she was in. It was a spacious room decorated in white with a peach accent wall, white furniture, and furnishings that gave the room a warm glow. However, her attention was drawn towards the luxe bedding that invited her over to rest her tired body. Quickly freshening up, she sat down on the bed and switched on her mobile phone. Being busy with two surgeries and a month-end meeting with nurse Solomon, she had to keep her phone switched off and leave it at the nursing station the entire day. Not that there was anyone to call her with her friends being busy with their lives. However, her eyes widened with disbelief, noticing two messages from Alexander’s number. Her heart skipped a beat and a giddy smile lit up her face. After waiting
“Please, mom. Don’t force her to eat. I’ll take her to a doctor,” said Maxwell, ready to go to work.“Not just any doctor, Max. Take Eva to Dr. Miriam Cruz at Elmwood Medicare. She’s available till eleven in the morning,” said Penny Clyborne who was aunt Gloria's daughter-in-law, married to her oldest son, Isaac. Having given birth to twins two months back, she was quick to realize what was wrong with Eva. “Isn’t she your gynecologist?” asked Maxwell with wide eyes when Eva returned to the room, feeling totally drained out. She gaped at the topic of conversation. Was she really pregnant? “Yes and she’s very good. I didn’t have many complications despite such a difficult pregnancy. She made the journey so smooth,” said Penny, and even their moms agreed. “Why would she need to see a gynecologist? I’m sure she has some stomach ailments.” “How do you like this dumb guy, Eva? Anyway, do you think you’re pregnant? Have you missed your monthly cycle this month?” asked Katie. With all of
Alexander frowned as he stared at the announcement Beatrix made on her social media, tagging him as well. Happy to announce that my wedding has been rescheduled to the 27th of this month. With just two weeks to go, I cannot contain my excitement! His blood boiled in his veins at the fake announcement! As far as he remembered, he had severed all ties with her exactly ten days ago and gone off to Florida to see Ashton. With Stefan away on a trip and Beatrix’s threat looming over his head, he felt too claustrophobic in the city. He had to get out. His work was over at Rotterdams and they had released him from his position as CEO. With nothing to do, Alexander was too upset with his life. Apart from Stefan, Ashton was the only one who could comfort him. His phone was being tapped by a gang of specialized criminals whom Beatrix might have contacted to harm Eva. The cops retained the phone to get to the gang, since they were the ones to have installed the Spyware app on his phone. Alexan
Alexander disconnected the call from his dad and seethed with fury. Alyssa was back from Singapore and his dad was going over to the airport to pick her up. He unlocked his phone and rechecked the article which made his blood boil with fury.Alliance between Titans!The article explained how Nicholas Donnelly and Alexander Van Every were now related because of Nicholas’s relationship with Alyssa Van Every. It also explained how two people in love were setting relationship goals for others on their trip to Singapore. There were pictures of them together that angered Alexander even more. How could she choose Nicholas Donnelly when she knew he was the enemy? Couldn’t she realize that this was a game for Nicholas to get even with him? The moment he won, he would dump Alyssa like trash. He was just using her. Alexander swore to go over and drill some sense in her head. He drove over to his parents’ house for dinner, since Alyssa was staying there after their dad sold off her apartment. Hi
The next day Mr. Strasbourg called Alexander since he was facing some problems. Alexander reluctantly went over to help him out but was too disturbed to do anything much. After guiding Mr. Strasbourg's PA, Marco, he drove over to his penthouse to pack himself a few essentials, eager to escape everything. With his mind in a state of unrest, he needed to be alone for a few days. However, as bad luck would have it, he met a furious Lucas and Marcus on his way out. “How dare you injure Nick? You could have just threatened him instead of attempting to kill him. Thank your lucky stars that we didn’t report you to the cops because of the childhood friendship we once shared,” gritted out Lucas. “He provoked me,” said Alexander, but Marcus wasn’t in any mood to listen. They immediately started attacking him while he fought back. Afterwards, they left, satisfied at having busted his lips, and injured him similarly to their brother. Alexander slumped into his car and drove towards the east co
After duty, Eva drove over to Lucas’s granny’s house, where Sienna was staying over. They welcomed her with open arms. With her delivery date just around the corner, Sienna was always breathless, but there was a glow of happiness about her. Eva envied her a little since she couldn’t ever have what Sienna did, a happily ever after with the father of her child. “What a surprise, Eva! Congratulations!” said Sienna with an incredulous look in her eyes. It was clear she was bursting with curiosity to know about her and Alexander. “Thanks. So, be free on the 26th. Don’t deliver Adrian on my wedding day!” she warned her friend. Lucas’s granny and mom chuckled and came forward to congratulate her. “You can’t control that! Adrian will push whenever he is in the mood!” said granny and they laughed. “That’s true. Anyway, I want you all to come over. I don’t have any family attending.”“Sure we will dear but I thought you liked Alexander!” said Claudia Donnelly, looking confused. Eva gaped at
The next evening after duty, Eva was surprised to see her aunt Claudia at Maxwell’s house, busy chatting with his family members. “Here she comes at last! Have you submitted your leave application Eva?” she asked and Eva nodded. “Yes, aunt Claudia! Alyssa and I are planning to take five days' leave from Wednesday.” “That’s good! You need to rest before your big day. Your aunt and I were planning to host a bridal shower party for you. When are your friends coming over?” asked Maxwell’s mom. “Sienna and Alyssa are here. Skylar will come over on Wednesday and I don’t know about Hayley and Ashton.” Aunt Claudia looked at her nervously, wanting to know why she was keen on inviting Ashton but couldn’t ask in front of Maxwell’s family. “They should have come over earlier to help the girls here,” said aunt Gloria. “Sienna is in her final trimester. Alyssa has also applied for leave. She should be here by tomorrow night. Everything happened so suddenly that the others can’t make it here b
Unable to get up, Eva closed her eyes to get a grip on her swooning head. Since morning she had been feeling drained up and more so after the bout of nausea that hit her hard this morning. After being busy the day before with salon visits, bank visits, and so on, she had escaped Alyssa’s curiosity but not for long. She would soon know that Eva was pregnant, that too with Alexander’s baby. Eva couldn’t imagine what her reaction would be. Ever since Alyssa returned from Singapore, they hadn’t been able to catch up much on each other’s lives. Now that she was living with them, she would definitely find out about her pregnancy and the reason for her hurried wedding to Maxwell. Maxwell’s mom came rushing into the room after Kendall informed her about Eva’s condition. “How did your condition deteriorate, Eva? You’re looking very pale.” Aunt Gloria too followed her to check and shook her head with concern.“I think she needs to see her doctor.” “I’ll be fine if I sleep a little, aunt Glori
