Eva woke up early the next morning and trudged to the washroom to freshen up. With the wedding scheduled in the morning, there was no time to spare. Last night, Maxwell was in a terrible mood and refused to talk to her on their way home. Eva didn’t talk to him, although she was bursting with curiosity to know why he hated Alexander so much. Surely it wasn’t because of an immature fight! How did she not see through him earlier?Her condition had improved, but the memory of Alexander weeping by her bedside drove her crazy. She looked for her mobile phone everywhere, but strangely, it was nowhere to be found. Maxwell’s sisters brought her breakfast to her room and ensured that she had her fill. “Have you seen my phone, Kendall?” she asked, but Kendall shrugged, looking clueless. “Did you leave it at the hospital? I’ll ask, bro.” Eva didn’t remember seeing it after Alexander visited her in the hospital. She was too upset to keep track. “I haven’t seen it for the last couple of days,” s

It was morning and, and Alexander was eager to barge into Maxwell’s house to stop the wedding. Sienna called him while he was driving, and Ashton took the call on his behalf. “Hi, Sienna. Ashton here. Alex is driving,” said Ashton. “He called me last night after I fell asleep.” “Yes, but right now, we’re on our way to Maxwell’s house.” Sienna gasped at the other end. “Are you going to stop the wedding?” “Yes, we are planning to. Are you there?” asked Ashton. “Yes, we all are there. Do you need help? You have our support,” said Sienna. “Thanks. We would need that! We’ll ask for help if we need it. See you in ten minutes,” said Ashton, disconnecting the call. “Why didn’t you ask about Eva? You should have asked about the scene at the house,” pointed out Alexander.“Oh, it escaped my mind. Do you want me to call her back?” he asked warily. “No, we need to pick up Jax and Mike from their houses, right?” asked Alexander. “No, Jax will reach the venue. We need to pick up Mike on o

Maxwell stared back at him with intense hatred in his eyes while everyone gaped at the ongoing drama. “Why should I tell you? I want you to suffer for Eva the way I have for Teresa. It’s because of you she left me and married someone else. You injured me and sent me to the hospital. She met a rich guy there and left me for him. If I wouldn’t have been hospitalized, she would have been with me. I hate you, Alexander Van Every! You deserve this. I’ll snatch Eva and your baby away from you and you wouldn’t be able to do a thing about it,” yelled Maxwell, shoving a dazed Alexander towards the exit. Ashton grabbed hold of Alexander and glared back at Maxwell. “You can’t bear a grudge against him for that, Maxwell. It was a high school fight. He thought you guys were harassing his sister,” Ashton spat out at him. “I will take my revenge on him. The simple high school fight destroyed my life. This is between Alexander and me so, stay out of this Ashton,” Maxwell gritted out. Coming to hi

“Take me away with you, Alexander!” she whispered in between sobs. “I will, baby. I’m here with you now.” He gently wiped her tears away while aunt Claudia wiped her own, having connected to the girl more during the last few weeks. She was glad that Eva finally found her happily ever after with the man she loved. “Calm her down first, Alexander. She’s emotionally drained out, and it’s not a good sign,” suggested aunt Gwen. Alexander looked up and nodded, going over to the sofa to sit down with Eva beside him. Her friends went over to sit with them. The rest of them scattered away to get a breather after the war ended on a happier note. Jax took his leave, since he had to get back to duty. “Get married fast, bro. I’ll drop by sometime. See you,” he said, leaving with a wave. The moment he left, Maxwell approached them, glaring at Eva accusingly. It was evident he still hadn’t gotten over Alexander’s victory. “How could you choose him after everything I’ve done for you, Eva? I was t

“Shall we go, Eva? The officiant is here and Alexander is waiting for you,” said aunt Claudia after ten minutes. “Yes, aunt Claudia. I’m ready too,” she said with a radiant smile. It showed how happy she was! The girls escorted her outside the house to the arch and Eva’s smile widened on noticing it for the first time. The decorative red rose floral swags and the sheer white tulle draped around the heart-shaped arch looked ethereal and dreamy. Although she preferred a church wedding, she had to admit that this looked quite romantic.“We chose the red roses to symbolize love and passion, while the deeper burgundy ones represent commitment. The decision was so sudden, we didn’t have the time to choose amongst the other floral combinations,” said Penny as they approached the aisle. Rose petals in the same hue strewn along the white aisle runner made Eva smile. She had always imagined herself walking down an aisle strewn with red rose petals, with Alexander waiting for her at the opposit

“To our home.” Eva frowned at what he meant by that. After his dad blocked him out of his own penthouse, there was no way they would live there. “Where is our home?” she asked curiously and Alexander gave her a sad smile. “I have only one home, Eva. It’s the one beside yours in Bronx,” he said, feeling hopeless and upset. Having dreamed of fulfilling all her wishes after marriage, the current circumstances made him feel as if he had failed her. He wouldn’t be able to take her on an extended trip to Paris, with his dad freezing all his accounts. He would have to fall back on his own savings till he started something of his own. After Rotterdams, he lost interest in a job. Maybe he would work hard and start a small restaurant of his own somewhere and he needed the money he had saved for the last four years. “We could join our apartments and have a spacious two-bedroomed unit for ourselves. It’s more than enough Alexander!” she gushed, clasping her hands, her eyes sparkling with exc

Eva kissed him back, showering his cheek, and jawline with light teasing pecks. He groaned at the torture and placed her on the kitchen counter, his lips claiming hers hungrily. With feather-light movements, he caught her neck as if it were fragile, angling her head to dominate the kiss. A moan of intense pleasure escaped her mouth and all the pent-up frustration of weeks seemed to fade away. Her fingers delved into his hair, earning a throaty groan from him. His lips tugged at her lower lip, plunging his tongue in when she surrendered. His kiss was hungry but tender, his tongue exploring, demanding and promising her more. She kissed him back wildly, unable to control her hormones. The pregnancy had made her a little more desperate than her normal self. Alexander pulled away reluctantly, leaving her mouth and resting his forehead on hers for a moment. “That was just the teaser! We can’t keep our baby hungry, right? Let’s feed it first,” he whispered, planting a kiss on her neck and h

The sun was about to set when they drove up to the rustic cottage tucked away on the shores of Long Pond, in a quiet area where time seemed to have been forgotten. “It looks picture perfect!” said Eva, gazing at the place that would be their home for the next few days. “I’m coming here for the first time. It feels as if I’m in Maine.” A man approached them and greeted them courteously. “Are you Alexander Van Every? I’m Bob Taylor, the caretaker of this property.” “Yes, I’m Alexander Van Every and this is my wife, Eva. Mike must have informed you about our stay.” The man smiled and greeted Eva and nodded at Alexander. “Yes, Mr. Van Every, he has. I have stocked the place up for your stay. Here are the keys. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. The cottage has its own kayak, canoe, and paddleboard. If you want to enjoy a campfire, just call me and I’ll arrange firewood for you. The firewood provided is for the wood stove and for the outdoor fire pits.” “Noted Mr.

“Granny, grandpa, you have to shift to New York this time. Enough of staying here all by yourselves. Why don’t you sell off the hobby center?” coaxed Alyssa after seeing the way her grandpa was still struggling with his day-to-day activities at eighty-nine.“Yes, Alyssa is right, dad. Please come along with us. You can play with Eleanor or Axel in a few days instead of living here all by yourselves,” said Alexander’s mom. “Who are Eleanor and Axel?” asked a clueless granny. “Alexander and Eva’s baby, mom!” said Jodie Van Every, beaming with excitement. She loved the names the moment she heard them and had been planning a nursery for the baby ever since Grandpa gave his wife an excited look, as if contemplating the suggestion. “Who will buy the hobby center? I can sell everything here and move to New York with you but after Alexander’s baby is born,” said grandpa. “Done. We’ll stay back here and help you sell everything off,” said Daniel Van Every. It was therefore decided that his

The next morning, Alexander reached Mr. Strasbourg’s house on time. His son, Adam Strasbourg, welcomed him and offered him coffee as they waited for Mr. Fitzgerald. Alexander had met him two years ago when he had come down from Frankfurt where he lived. “I know you’re the prime suspect in this case and you shouldn’t be visiting here, but I wanted to see you, Alexander. My mind is very disturbed. Dad was so attached to you, and it’s ironic that you had to be accused of murdering him.”“I’m sorry that I couldn’t save him, Adam. After stepping down from Rotterdams, I was quite busy.”“I understand. For the last two years, we have been pleading with dad to come over to Frankfurt and live with us but he didn’t even consider it an option. He received a strange thrill from involving himself with Rotterdams. He seemed obsessed with saving the empire, which belonged to a deceased friend.”“Yes, he was too attached to Rotterdams.” “What was the outcome of his dedication? He lost his life! Thi

The next day, Alexander shifted to his penthouse when Eva was at the hospital. His mom came over with her housekeeper to get the penthouse cleaned up and arrange their belongings. Alexander felt relieved to be home at last, to where he belonged. “Everything is arranged now. I’ll leave, Alex. We’ll see you later after you settle down,” said his mom. After his mom left, Alexander received a call from Ashton.“Bro, I wouldn’t be able to return soon. There’s an emergency here that will take some time to wrap up. I’ve got a big promotion here at the hotel and I can’t overlook my responsibilities here. Why don’t you start without me?” Alexander noted his disinterest in starting a business under the circumstances. “Oh, that’s fine. Dad has released my funds and I can invest freely. Don’t worry, if you want you can join me anytime.” “Thanks, bro. I will.” After he disconnected the call, Alexander called his lawyer, Thomas Goldstein, and informed him about the latest update. “I want to co

“I’m sorry about that, Beatrix. Eva isn’t keeping well because of her pregnancy and I couldn’t take your call,” apologized Alexander, feeling guilty for ignoring her plea for help. “I understand, Alexander. I know how much I’ve tormented you with my stubbornness and I’m sorry for everything I did,” said Beatrix and this time she genuinely looked ashamed of herself. “So am I. Everything happened for a reason. We weren’t meant for one another.” “Yes and I’ve learned my lesson the hard way,” said Beatrix with a sigh. “It’s better to move on now. Have a good life with Fairfield. I’ll contact Mr. Fitzgerald and start hunting for the evidence Mr. Strasbourg had hidden somewhere,” said Alexander, but Beatrix stopped him. “Wait! I have a request, Alexander.” “Tell me!” Alexander knew what she would ask of him, but he wasn’t ready to go into that again. “Please come back to Rotterdams, Alexander. The company needs you. Right now, Mr. McCabe is the current CEO, but I want you to look aft

Eva gaped at her husband, too shocked to react. After Daniel Van Every’s last call, she hardly expected him to accept her. So did she unnecessarily overreact last night? “Oh, are you sure? How did they suddenly change their mind about me?” She wondered if Alexander fought with them for her. “Alyssa made them see sense. Mom and dad apologized for everything that happened. They want to be a part of our lives, to play with our baby,” said Alexander while Eva sat with her mouth hanging open. Did they soften because of her pregnancy? A smile brightened up her face, and she resumed eating, letting the good news seep into her system. “I’m glad that they’ve accepted us, Alexander. I was tired of living alone with no family to call my own. At Maxwell’s house, his family cared for me so much, I craved one of my own. I wished your family would accept me like they did. Maybe God has granted my prayers.” Alexander smiled at her, feeling satisfied that finally another wish of hers had been fulfil

Eva’s head swooned under the effect of a panic attack, and she gasped for breath. Before she could reach the washroom door, her feet buckled, and she felt dizzy. Alexander rushed to catch her just in time to arrest her fall. Alyssa too rushed in followed by the others, too shocked by everything to react. Alexander’s parents gaped at the scene before them, finally realizing how deeply their behavior had affected the poor girl.“Eva, no one can separate us, baby! Please take a deep breath and calm down,” cried Alexander, but she lost her senses in his arms. Alexander carried her limp body to the bed. “I’ll get some water,” said Alyssa, rushing to the washroom. “Eva wake up. I’m right here with you. You’ve been brave for so long. You can’t fall sick now,” said Alexander, patting her cheeks. Alyssa rushed in with the water and sprinkled it over her face. It worked, and she slowly opened her eyes to look at Alexander with wide eyes. “Take deep breaths, baby. I don’t want to admit you

“Lucas called to say that Mr. Fitzgerald is busy tonight. He wouldn’t be coming in for a discussion,” said Alexander, hovering around in the kitchen while Eva made dinner. The doorbell rang and Eva looked at him worriedly. “I thought Mr. Fitzgerald isn't coming in tonight.” Alexander shrugged and went forward to check out who had arrived at their doorstep at such an odd hour. Few people knew that he was released today and was still staying here in Bronx. Maybe it was Alyssa and Nicholas! “Should be Lisa and Nicholas.” He opened the door and rolled his eyes at seeing how right he was. “Knew it!” he said, opening the door wider for Alyssa and Nicholas to come in. “At last I’m allowed entry into the place. I thought I would always be a stalker waiting outside!” said Nicholas and Alyssa punched his arm. “Did you really stalk me? You creep?” asked Alyssa in disbelief. Eva emerged from the kitchen and giggled at the ongoing topic. “Yes, so? Alexander knows about it. He caught me so m

“Eva’s been at my house with Sienna and Alyssa since last night. Don’t worry, we didn’t allow her to return to her apartment. They ensured she didn’t skip her meals, and she was perfectly fine. In fact, we’re all heading there right now,” said Lucas, and Alexander smiled with relief. “I know why you asked. Maybe it’s got something to do with Alyssa. She can answer your question better, bro,” whispered Nicholas. Alexander smiled, amazed at how Nicholas could see through him. “What are we waiting for, man? Let’s go?” urged Alexander, unable to wait any longer. All the formalities were over at the court and they had no reason to wait. “You need to collect your belongings from the precinct, Mr. Van Every,” said the officer, and Alexander nodded. “I’ll see you later, son. Here are the keys to the penthouse. I’m sorry for everything that happened,” said his dad, handing him the keys and walking away, leaving him stunned. What the hell just happened? Did his dad apologize for his beha

“Bro, this isn’t even half the bail amount. Why did you lie to Eva? She’d be so upset when she comes to know,” said a worried Nicholas as they headed to the court for the initial bail hearing before the Magistrate judge. He looked at the cheque that Sienna had issued against the jewelry that Eva handed to her. It was the exact amount Lucas had specified to Eva. “I didn’t want to overburden her with a loan. Don’t tell her anything. I’ll have a word with Alexander later when he is released. Right now, I’m paying the rest of the amount. It’s the same with Chris’s payment. He didn’t quote it all to Alyssa. I’ll pay the rest when the case is over.” They met Chris and discussed the case outside the court while waiting for the proceedings to start. “So, what’s the update on the case? Did you find any leads? Will they approve of Alexander’s bail request?” asked Lucas in a low whisper. “Yes. I’m hundred percent sure, given Alexander’s respectable past record. I’ve roped in a few noteworthy
