At that point, Henry wanted to grab her face and kiss the hell out of her or maybe slip his hand through the opening on her dress. He heaved a deep sigh and turned away.

The driver pulled the car to a halt by the entrance of the museum. He rushed out to get the car door but met Henry standing outside. He was holding up the car door for Eve to step out. She carefully alighted and took his hand. They stepped into the museum hand in hand.

Immediately they walked in, Eve was charmed by the artefacts on display. She rolled her eyes around the paintings before taking proper glances at the people. Most people stood in twos, the ladies elegantly dressed and the men looked smart. Bartenders and waitresses loitered with small trays carrying glasses of wine.

Henry led Eve to meet a group of people. They were business moguls. She greeted them with a smile. They then grabbed a glass of wine each and moved to the table reserved for Henry. They sat next to each other.

    Henry hurriedly took off his jacket and dumped it beside Eve on the bed. Before he could blink, she was tearing off the buttons on his white cotton shirt. He looked into her eyes. Eve was burning with desire for him. Henry wanted her as much as she desired him. He craved for her so badly from the moment he cast his gaze on her when she walked out of that office to the reception before they left for the charity art event. Every glance he fixed on her at that event turned him on. He had been fighting the urge to resist her for so long but now, he just wanted to fuck the hell out of her.Eve finally took off his shirt and ran her fingers on his bare chest. She was kneeling on the bed, facing him. He was kneeling too. He squeezed her left breast and she gasped in pleasure. She immersed him in a passionate hug and tugged her hands into his bare skin.Henry broke off their embrace and dipped his hand into her thighs. He pulled off her black thong. He was about to pull his hand out of her t

    "We have to stop this madness Henry," she added. Henry agreed with a nod."I'm very sorry. I led you on," he said Even though he had doubts whether he actually led her on. She was the one that pulled him to the bed when he wanted to leave. She was the one who tore the buttons off his shirt and pulled out the belt around his trousers. "I can't go on living like this." Eve continued. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks. "You are married." she reminded him.Henry turned away and swallowed some air."I'm tired of this pointless sex affair." she spat.Did she just say sex affair? Henry wondered. He hated the way those tears kept rolling down her cheeks. He wanted to pull her to his chest and stroke her till she stopped crying."I'm sorry," Henry said. His voice rang with empathy.Eve resolved to wipe her tears. "I want us to end this once and for all. I don't want to be a home-wrecker and I will never be comfortable being a sidepiece.Henry sighed and moved closer to her. He held her

    Eve loitered around Henry's door for about two minutes before finally knocking on the office door. Stacy kept staring at her from her spot in astonishment."Come in," Henry responded from the inside.Eve heaved a deep sigh and gave the door a slight push. She walked into the office and stood a few meters away from Henry's desk."Good morning sir," she mumbled and fixed her gaze on the floor.Henry's blue jacket was wrapped around his chair. He shut the file before him and tossed it to the side. He cleared his throat loudly. Eve lifted her head and caught his disappearing smile."You sent for me sir," she told him.Henry agreed with a repeated nod and rolled his eyes all over her. Eve wondered why his eyes were lagging around her chest. In her quest to redeem herself from the sexual affair, she had planned on working on the outfits she'll be wearing to work henceforth. She was dressed in a green maxi gown that morning.Henry pulled out a little brown envelope from one of his desk cabin

    Eve crossed her legs. "You think I'm scared of going to a club? Do I have to remind you where you and I met?" Henry turned away. Eve went on. "I don't need you to look out for me. The thing is I don't feel like going to a club tonight."Henry sighed and placed both his hands on his waist. "I need to sign that deal Eve. This company needs Leonard. I don't know why the man wants you there but I'll appreciate it if you agree to the offer." He explained. "For the company's sake," he added."Fine."Henry smiled halfway. That was quick he thought. "So you'll be there right? 8 Pm sharp.""Noted," Eve replied with a nod."So I'll drop by at your house let's say at 7 30 to pick you up.""No." Eve countered. "Where are we meeting the man?""His bar. Leo BARRYS." Henry replied."I know that spot. I'll be there." Eve said."Good. Don't forget. 8 pm sharp so we have to be there on time. We can't keep Leonard waiting. We must....""It's okay boss. Chill. I know what to do." Ever said and lifted he

    "What the hell is going on here?" asked a confused Henry. His gaze fell on Leonard who was still on the floor on his butt.Leonard abruptly stood up and brushed off the back of his black trousers with his hands.Eve was by the corner, her head lowered with a tightened jaw. She was burning with rage. She wasn't going to sit tight and allow that bastard to tuck his hand into her thighs."You didn't tell me the lady you brought was a whore." Leonard accused. He smirked. "Eve or whatever you call her is nothing but a slut."Eve lifted her head and saw Leonard pointing a finger at her. Her eyes widened in shock. What was Leonard driving at and did he just call her a whore?"A whore?" Henry asked with a quirked brow. Why would Leonard suddenly call Eve a whore? he wondered."Not just a whore but an abuser. Didn't you see the way she assaulted me? She pushed me. She just assaulted me Henry" Leonard claimed and turned to look at the spot he has earlier fallen on.Eve gasped. "Assault you? Are

    Leonard gave Eve a stern look that scared her to death. If Henry wasn't there, he would have probably smashed her head against the wall she thought.Leonard began striding toward Eve. She stood her ground and faced him, her chin up. "You are lying. Tell your boss that you are lying," he said in a tone that depicts command.Henry was pacing back and forth, trying to wrap his head around the commotion.Eve smiled and Leo couldn't hide his shocking expression. If he was expecting her to chicken out because of his overshadowing presence then he has no idea who he is dealing with. She is Eve Bloom and will take shit from no one.Eve held up his stare. "I am not lying. You were the one who tried to take advantage of me." she maintained, staring directly into his eyes.She moved away from him and walked up to Henry. "I don't care what you think but this man is cheap and has no ounce of morality. Believe me or not, he was the one who tried to force himself on me. The only way I could resist w

    Henry led Eve out of the busy club. He pulled his car from the parking lot and opened the front door for her to hop in. Eve jumped inside the car. Henry mounted the driver's seat and heaved a deep sigh. He turned to Eve who was sitting beside him, trying to wrap the seat belt around her."I'm so sorry for all that happened back there."Eve sighed and began to fondle the glossy stones on her purse. Her head was lowered. "It's okay."Henry put on his seat belt and started the car. Eve reclined in the chair, her gaze was cast on the path ahead of them.Henry gave his nose a little scratch and went on apologising. "When Leonard asked me to invite you, I had my doubts but I felt that since he insisted and since I was going to be there then there was nothing to worry about. I never knew he could pull such an act. I..." he shook his head and gave the speedometer a slight slap with his left hand.He turned to look at Eve and saw her staring through the window.

    Henry plunged the empty containers inside the plastic bag and threw it at the back seat. Eve gave her forehead a little scratch and thought about the way she had disposed of her container."You don't have to thank me, Eve. I just did the right thing." Henry responded. He pulled out more tissues from the cabinet and passed some to her.She took them and began cleaning her hands. "That meant so much to me. I didn't know what I would have done if you didn't side with me."Henry gave her a loving blink. "I was just doing the right thing." He started the car and they were soon hitting the road."Aren't you worried that Leonard is going to pull out of the partnership?" Eve pointed out."Well, the truth is we are both out. I don't see him being my client anymore." Henry replied."Losing a client like Leonard Barry means losing a lot of cash," Eve said and palmed her forehead with her left hand. "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault.""Oh come on Eve. You don't have to be sorry. It's not your fau

    "I never thought you would show up!" Dane remarked the moment Olivia slapped her purse on the round table. "We are talking about preparations for my best friend's wedding here. I wouldn't mind seeing your annoying face." She replied and sat opposite him. Dane chuckled and crossed his legs. Henry and Eve broke the news of their engagement to them a week ago. Dane was to serve as Henry's best man while Olivia, was the chief bridesmaid. It's two weeks to the wedding and preparations were already heating up. Dane had invited Olivia that evening to the cafe so they could review their plans for the wedding. "Do you want anything?" He asked and pointed to the menu card. Olivia waved her hand down. "I'm good." Dane reclined on the chair. "You'll rather starve than have a drink with me don't you?" She broke into a laugh and grabbed the menu card. "You know what Dane? You have a way of cracking me up even when I'm being a tough girl." He sat up and blinked at her. "Maybe I was created

    "So what's your plan? Staying all day in bed without a job till you have the baby?' Mrs Bloom raised her voice at Eve.Eve was sprawled on the bed, facing her phone. She was having a video call with her mother."Eve, if you don't want to get a job then at least you can tell Henry about the baby. He should have thought about his marriage before putting the baby there.""Come on mom!'"I'm serious, Eve. Child support is necessary. Meanwhile, I'm not happy with the fact that you planned to raise this baby alone. I didn't raise you alone so my grandbaby deserves a father." Mrs Bloom went on ranting.Eve sighed and stroked her forehead. "I have enough funds in my savings account that can cater for the baby so you don't have to worry about that and about speaking to Henry, I'll do that when the time is right.""You better do so.""Have you told dad about it?"Mrs Bloom arched a brow. "Didn't you say you'll do that yourself?"Eve gave repeated nods. "I'll come home mom and I'll tell him ever

    Dane pulled his sports car to a halt at the entrance to the parking lot and quickly stepped out."This better be good." He muttered under his breath and charged toward Olivia who was standing under a lemon tree, a few meters away from the park entrance.It was a few minutes past 6 pm and about fifteen minutes earlier, Olivia had called Dane and asked her to meet with him, stating that they needed to speak urgently.He got to the spot she was standing and instantly flashed a smile at her. Why the hell was he grinning like a clown Olivia wondered and quickly turned away after a smirk.Dane cleared his throat loudly and gave his forehead a delicate scrape. He was not the kind of man who was used to putting his perfect set of dentition on display and he couldn't tell why he got excited and had to smile at the sight of Olivia.Olivia adjusted the leather bag hanging around her left arm and began taking steps toward Dane. He remained rooted to his spot and felt like the ground was going to

    Eve took sluggish steps toward the door. She had been avoiding them for quite a long time and she knew that the sooner she faced them, the better for her sanity.She stood by the door for several seconds and tried to keep her breath in check. She didn't see who was banging on her door but she could bet that it was either Olivia or Jen.After exhaling twice, she opened the door and saw the ladies standing outside. She flashed a quick smile at them and before she could usher them into the house, they flew in.She slammed the door behind her and turned to face their inquisitive faces. They were both folding their arms across their chests and staring at her like an owl."And why the hell was your phone off for two days?" Olivia flung the question at her.Eve sighed and moved to the twin couch."Some ladies from your hate club had been blowing up my phone. I don't even know why I gave them my phone number in the first place." Jen lamented.She moved to the couch and settled next to Eve by

    Eve was glad that she had spoken to her mother. She was feeling a bit relieved and was glad that her mother didn't judge or condemn her. Mrs Bloom was sensitive enough to realize that at that moment, Eve needed all the support and comfort she could get.*****"I'm so happy to see you!" Phil declared and almost pulled her to the floor because he had immersed her in a tight hug. Eve smiled and hugged him. If she had her way, she would have pulled him away because she woke up that morning feeling edgy. She attributed the sudden feeling to pregnancy hormones."I never thought you would show up today," Phil commented after they broke off the embrace. "You need rest Eve. You can count on me to handle things while you are recuperating. Remember, health is wealth." Eve gave a warm smile and folded her arms across her chest. Who would have thought that she could get along with Phil? Two weeks ago, they could barely stand each other."Thank you so much, Phil." She replied. She was going to mi

    Eve shut her eyes and opened them immediately. Just when she thought that she was hallucinating, she realized that the doctor was still standing by her bed.He kept the file he was holding next to her on the bed and left after flashing a bright smile.Even grabbed the file with trembling hands and her gaze instantly fell on the result after she opened it. She shut the file after a gasp and quickly turned away.She was fucking pregnant!"Damn it!" She muttered under her breath and squeezed the bedsheet. Her head began to spin in circles. She was carrying Henry's baby. According to the report, the doctor handed it over to her, she was three weeks gone.Whether she was three weeks gone, a month or two months gone, it was certain as death that the baby she is carrying is Henry's.He was the only man she had been with and on countless occasions, they had been together without using protection even though there were times she took pills, there were a few times she skipped the pills.She th

    The continuous ringing of Eve's phone caused her to open her heavy eyes.She picked up the call."Hey!""Hey, baby. How is my gorgeous damsel doing this morning?" came Darcy's voice.The statement didn't provoke a smile on her face and neither did her cheeks turn red. She was even shocked at her reaction."I'm doing great Darcy." She replied and rubbed her drowsy eyes with the edge of her left palm.Did she just say, Darcy? She cleared her throat loudly. "How are you doing babe?"The phone speaker filtered Darcy's chuckle. "I'm good. You are having a work-free day?"Eve arched a brow. "A work-free day? It's not weekend.""And you are still not at work?"Eve glanced at the wall clock hanging above her. Her eyes widened in horror."Jeez!" She screamed. It was a few minutes to 9 am and she should have been at the office by now."I need to go now." She said and quickly hung up before Darcy could give a reply.She went through her phone and realised that the alarm she had set to awaken he

    "Come in!" Henry responded from the inside and shut the file before him.Immediately after he lifted his head and realised that it was Eve who just walked into his office clinging to some documents, he lowered his head and opened the file he had shut earlier.She walked up to his desk. "Phil said you needed the transaction details of the cost of production for the week." She said without staring at him directly.He continued fiddling with the pages of the document before him. "And why didn't Phil obtain the document from the accounts department? Wasn't he the one I assigned the task to?" he asked without lifting his head.From that statement, Eve could tell that Henry wasn't expecting her and on the other hand, she didn't want to be in his office but she had to bring the report because Phil had a couple of other things to do."He's busy. You asked him to plan the annual meeting with the branch managers and also draft invitation letters." She reminded Henry.Lately, he had stopped assi

    Eve cast her gaze to the entrance. She saw a man by the door lifting a phone to his face. Could he be her mystery man? She wondered and lowered the phone to her chest.Meanwhile, the man also lowered the phone to his chest and kept roving his eyes around the area."Pick the damn call!" Eve muttered under her breath and began taking strides toward the glass door.The man finally picked up the call and when he turned around, she froze.He placed his perfect set of dentition on display by flashing a bright smile. "You must be Eve?"She nodded repeatedly.He began taking steps toward her, maintaining the illuminating smile. He was devilishly handsome and was dressed in a gas-blue suit. Eve looked into his forest green eyes and darted her gaze to his expensive shoes. Olivia was right. The man was damn classy.When he got to Eve, he extended his right hand and ran his left hand through his blonde hair. "I'm Darcy."She remained rooted to her spot.
