Eve agreed with a nod. Of course, Mira didn't see it coming but the hate club had suggested that she take advantage of the opportunity to tell Mira everything, especially because the woman doesn't reside in the city.

"I wanted to know about Henry's work and schedule but it appears I learnt much more," Mira said and opened her palms wide open before Eve with a sad smile.

Eve finally looked the woman straight in the face. In her mind, she commended Mira for her composure. Other women would have dragged her to filth, hurled insults at her or created a scene but Mira was sitting beside her, trying to analyze the predicament.

Fuck! Henry doesn't deserve such a good woman Eve concluded and stroked her forehead.

Mira was still speaking. "I thought that maybe as his assistant, you would help me with all the information I need so that I could keep up with his schedule from Hong kong. I've asked him on several occasions but Henry always felt that it wasn't necessary to inform me. According to

    Henry parted his lips and was about to speak when Mira charged toward him, dropped her purse on the table and sent a hard slap on his left cheek.The act caused Dane to jump out of the chair. "I'll take my leave now," he said and vanished.It was now a family affair and Dane knew he had to exit. The slap was a confirmation that Mira actually met up with Eve and must have been fed lots of information.Henry stared at the raging woman standing before him. She was taking deep breaths and looking like a predator that was about to pounce on its prey.He stroked his left cheek and clenched his jaw. "Did you slap me?""Maybe I can do that again," Mira replied and lifted her left palm.Henry's eyes widened in horror. He wouldn't be surprised if she sends another slap across his cheek. She was burning with rage."I'm so disappointed in you Henry. Yes, I've always known you to be bad but I never thought you could be this rouge."Henry shook his head and placed both his hands on the table. Now,

    "I'm ready sir," Henry's chauffeur reported immediately after Henry stepped out with his briefcase. Henry smiled at the man. "Why don't you take a break today? I'll drive myself." The reply provoked a smile on Athe driver's face. Ever since he became Henry's driver, he had only driven Henry to several places on specific occasions. Henry would prefer to drive himself to work and other places. The chauffeur stepped aside and Henry stepped into the Lamborghini which had already been pulled from the parking lot and was parked at the entrance to the mansion. He mounted the driver's seat and drove away. ****Eve wiped her drowsy eyes with the edge of her palms. Her alarm clock was yet to give the signal and this meant that it wasn't time to wake up yet. The heavy knocks on her door persisted. It had to be Olivia or Jen because they were only the ones who would show up to interrupt her sleep that Sunday morning. "I'm coming!" She mumbled and grabbed her night robe. She slipped it arou

    The revelation caused Eve to remain transfixed in her spot. She stared at Henry blankly, trying to ascertain the level of his seriousness on the issue.He was dead serious.When he noticed her surprised expression, he exploded into a burst of laughter that echoed all over the room and Eve couldn't be more confused.She began taking strides toward him. Her legs felt heavy but she didn't stop. Henry stood before with a bright smile and soon, his bright smile was replaced by an impish grin."You must be joking!" Eve asserted, trying not to mince her words.He swung his head from left to right in filial objection. "You are lying to me!"Henry didn't stop shaking his head and at that point, Eve needed no one to let her know that Henry was blurting out the truth. From his look, his gesture and his mode of communication, she could tell that he meant every word.Doomed!She was fucking doomed as the thought of her plan which had just gone down the drain fluttered in her mind. She took steps

    It all brings her back to one miserable circle. Her miserable circle of trying to get away from Henry's web. If Mira was his sister and not his wife as she presumed, then she was no way near to achieving her revenge goal.And the hate club?She turned around, imagining the disappointing looks they'll display once they discover that Henry outsmarted her.Henry began taking steps toward her and she quickly turned away. She couldn't look at his face, it was haunting.He broke into a wicked laugh and Eve couldn't open her eyes."Turn around and face me, Eve. Didn't you want to be a smart ass? Turn around and defend yourself!" Henry whisper-yelled.She didn't turn around to face him or give any reply. She was blaming herself for jumping to a conclusion when she should have worked out more on Mira's identity.Henry lifted a finger and continued speaking. "I remember when we went to see my parents the other day, most of the issues you raised were questions centred around my wife and right n

    Henry didn't take off his arms around Eve even though she was trying to break free."I'm sorry for everything Eve!"She lowered her head and watched the tears rolling from her cheeks drop on the carpet. She wiped her running nose with the edge of her palm and turned around.Henry didn't take his hands off her. He was looking straight into her red eyes and was trying so hard to withhold himself from kissing her."You always apologise but end up doing the same thing and.." Eve was still speaking when Henry's desire took charge of his senses.In a flash, he pulled her toward him, pressed himself to her chest and locked lips with her. She tried to break free by sending strikes on his back but Henry wouldn't break away.He pulled away from the kiss for a moment, directed his lips to her left ear and mumbled "I want you."Eve found herself melting in his arms like wax. Yes, she wanted him, so badly that her toes were beginning to curl up as in between her thighs got slippery.She shut her e

    Eve stopped pacing and moved closer to him. " I remember your exact words the other day. You said it was best if we stayed away from each other. You even said something about your presence in my life as a purveyor of harm so I think it's time you honour your words. Let's end this once and for all." She said."You don't get it!" Henry flared up and ran his hands through his hair.Eve's eyes widened in surprise. "I don't want to get any damn thing. What I want is for the both of us to end this pointless relationship not just today but for good," she replied and positioned both her hands on her hips.Henry began taking steps toward her and when she gave him the stink eye, he stopped."I said don't you ever come close to me again.""You will only end this affair when I say so." Henry declared while staring Eve straight in the face.She gasped, marvelling at the authority in his voice and the audacity in his eyes. She swung her head from left to right.

    "I asked you to draft me a fucking schedule not bring me a report!" Henry yelled and gave the table a tight slap.Phil arched a brow. It was either he misunderstood the directive or his ear had issues taking instructions that morning."Get me last week's report!"He heard it loud and clear from Henry. "Don't just stand there like a potato. Get the hell out of my office and bring in that schedule immediately." Henry screamed at Phil."Of course, sir!" Phil stammered. He gave a slight bow and walked out of the office wondering why Henry was acting edgy that morning. First, he witnessed how Henry snapped at one of the messengers who came to get his briefcase a while ago and now, he received a backlash for an offence he didn't commit."Eve!" Phil called out to her and pulled open the door to their office. He stared at the vacant armchair and shook his head after a sigh.Eve didn't show up at work the previous day and today, she wasn't in her seat. If she was at work that morning, he wo

    "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.
