The Billionaire’s Mysterious Wife Chapter One Hundred-Eighteen
"We can't see each other anymore?" demanded Eve with a quirked brow. What was Henry driving at?There was silence from Henry's end. He began to hit his table slightly, producing a rhythm.Eve stood up and it dawned on her that Henry was hinting at ending the so-called affair. What if he was just blabbering or what if he made that announcement to see her reaction?"Are you kidding me?" she flung the question at him.Henry was taken aback by her response. At that point, he needed no one to let him know that the lady standing before him was falling for him and that in a few minutes, she might explode.Most of the women he had been with ended up getting attached to him and to free himself from their clutches, he cuts them off. Even shouldn't be an exception he reminded himself.Henry cleared his throat loudly and stopped hitting the table. "I'm dead serious. We can't go on like this. Let's end this madness right away."Madness?" Eve asked and broke into a dry laugh. Was it madness when h

Henry looked up to her and was almost starstruck. He cleared his throat and put on a serious face even though the statement made him feel miserable.He stood up. "Calm down Eve. I just want us to do the right thing. The thing is.. " He was still speaking when Eve turned away with a long hiss. "You need to calm down and lets analyze this situation as rational beings. I regret my actions and I share in the blame but.." He surrendered after a sigh when he saw the look Eve was giving him.She smirked. Now he was talking about being rational regrets? Wasn't he asking her to leave a while ago."I'm sorry!" he blurted and shook his head.Eve took bold steps toward Henry and stared at him straight in the face. "You will regret putting me in such a state." she declared and stormed out of the office.Henry collapsed on the chair and cast his gaze on the table. With a frustrated sigh, he propelled the file he had shoved to the side and opened it. He opened the file and quickly shut it. The imag

Eve slowly opened her eyes after feeling a hand on her left shoulder. She lifted her aching head and caught Henry towering above her. She flashed a grin and rested her head back on the counter.She wanted to call either Jen or Olivia to tell them about her state so that they could come and pick her up but after several thoughts, she decided to call Henry instead.Henry moved to the corner and was speaking with the bartender. Eve lifted her head and through hazy eyes, she saw him speaking to the bartender. She couldn't hear what they were talking about.A few seconds later, Henry returned to the bar stand and snatched Eve's handbag from the table. He grabbed her left hand and helped her get down the stool. He began dragging her towards the door."Let go of me!" she yelled and tried to free her hand from his grasp. She staggered and almost fell but Henry helped her regain her balance."You are drunk Eve, just come with me," he replied and continued dragging her away.Eve kept mumbling i

She wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks. Her clear vision was beginning to find its way back to her. She heaved a deep sigh and cleared the strands of hair that were covering her face.To hell with the job and the hate club. All that mattered was her sanity and she wasn't going to lose it to some revenge shit."I wish I never met you," she stated.From her tone, Henry could read that she had stopped crying. Again, he didn't speak. It was the tenth time she was telling him that she wished she hadn't met him that day."You can go ahead and shut the fuck up. I don't care about your or the damn job. I'm quitting." she maintained.Henry's eyes widened in surprise. He saw the venting part coming but never imagined that she was going to quit. He thought she'll be forced to stay no matter the odds because she needed the huge pay.Maybe she was still drunk and he mistook the firmness in her voice earlier."Stop saying such a thing Eve," he replied, determined to get her home so she could r

Henry quickly pulled the car door open. He pulled Eve out of the vehicle and carefully laid her on the ground on her back.There was a deep opening on her forehead. She was bleeding and had sustained bruises on her face. She was still unconscious. Henry took her head into his hands while he sat on the floor. He began to give her body a violent shake. "Open your eyes, Eve. Please open your eyes." he cried.The crowd multiplied. Some people hurried toward Eve and squatted around her. "Quick, get an ambulance!" Henry yelled with panic in his eyes.His left palm had sustained an injury and blood was gushing from it. After the accident sent Eve bouncing, she hit her head against the car window and sustained a deep.The panicking Henry couldn't wait any longer. He stood up. A man was at a corner, trying to contact an ambulance. Henry knelt toward Eve. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Eve was starting to grow cold in his hands.After a few minutes of panic and several murmurs from the c

He strode to the reception and traced his way to the care unit where a petite nurse attended to the cut on his left palm. She covered the injury with plaster and was about to administer a painkiller to Henry when he fled toward the theatre.He stood outside the theatre and paced for about ten minutes before the door to the room was pulled open. The surgeon came out with a victorious smile and Henry sighed in relief for the first time since the accident."She's stabilised. We needed to operate on her because her head sustained a deep cut but right now, she's out of danger." The surgeon reported.Henry gave a half smile. He felt as if a load had been lifted off his chest. "Can I see her?" he tried to peep into the theatre room.The surgeon took off the mask covering his nose. "I'm sorry you can't. She'll be transferred to a private ward in a moment.""Can I see her once she had been transferred to the ward?" demanded the impatient Henry."I understand why you want to see her but there

Dane quickly sat on the stool Henry earlier occupied. He cast his gaze on the floor and when he heard the squeaking of the door he was facing, he immediately lifted his head.A nurse dressed in a white uniform walked out of the ward. Dane stood up and rushed to meet her.Before he could speak, she demanded with a quirked brow. "Are you miss Bloom's relative?"Dane grinned and stroked his hair. "Not really but I'm standing in for her friend who left to see the surgeon. He was the man that brought her in earlier."The nurse nodded in understanding. She was standing by the door. Dane was waiting for her to leave so he could hurry into the ward and check on Eve but the plumpy nurse remained rooted to her spot.Dane cleared his throat loudly and pointed to the door. "Is it okay if I get inside to check on her? My friend is very worried you know?"The nurse swung her head from left to right and Dane was irked. He imagined the hell Henry went through going through all these damned medical pr

After Dialing Mr Bloom's number the second time, the man finally picked up the call. Dane cleared his throat loudly and spoke."Good evening sir.""Henry?"This isn't Henry Richards but his bodyguard Dane. There's a problem sir and I'll need you to stay calm." He imagined the expression Eve's father was displaying at that moment and continued speaking."Mr Richards and his assistant Eve, your daughter were involved in an accident." He heard Mr Bloom gasp. "An accident?""A minor one sir." he quickly added. "It was a minor accident and they are currently in a hospital," he said.Dane's ears began picking up murmurs and soft wails from the background which were coming from Eve's mom and her sister."Is my daughter okay? Which hospital is that and can I talk to her?" asked Mr Bloom.Dane could sense the distress in the man's voice.He sighed and stood up. "I'm sorry sir but you can't speak to her at the moment because she's undergoing some tests but I assure you, she's stable and once

"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. She wondered whether she should smile, spea
