The Billionaire’s Mysterious Wife Chapter One Hundred Thirty Seven
Eve took graceful steps down the street. She was dressed in a floral purple gown and tied her hair into a loose bun. While fixing her make-up that morning, she noticed the sudden change in her weight after facing the dressing mirror. She couldn't help but wonder how possible it was to lose much weight in a week.She adjusted the black bag that hung around her arm and hailed a cab. Immediately after stepping inside the vehicle, she heaved a deep sigh and pressed her bag to her chest wondering what awaits her at the office.After she got to the company, she met a group of security personnel at the entrance who took turns greeting her and asking about her health. She knew it, word had gone around the company that she was involved in an accident with the CEO.At the reception, the workers who were heading out and others who were marching to their units stopped to greet her. She smiled faintly at them and almost got tired of telling them that she had fully recovered.Thank Goodness she had

The aggressive pushing of Henry's door inside caused him to lift his head with a quirked brow.The furious Eve walked into the office fuming while Phil hurried after her amidst heavy pants."I'm sorry!" Phil apologised and tried to catch his breath. He wiped the sweat that had teamed up on his forehead with the back of his palm.Who could have thought that trying to calm down a raging woman would turn out to be such hard work?Henry sighed and dropped the pen he was clasping on the file before him. He lifted his head and caught Eve standing before him like a volcano that was going to erupt. Her lips were curled up in irritation.Henry pointed to the door. "It's okay Phil, you can head back to your office."Eve turned to stare at the new assistant. Did Henry just ask him to return to his office? Does that mean that he had replaced her?"Impossible!" she muttered under her breath before giving a long hiss.Phil gave a slight bow. "I tried to stop her boss but she wouldn't listen to me.

Henry cast his gaze on the table and went on checking the file before him. He lifted his head and discovered that she was still towering above him.What else? he thought and positioned both his hands on the table knowing that she still had a lot to say."Why didn't you check up on me?" she blurted with her gaze fixed on him.Henry wanted to hold up her stare but he didn't. From her eyes, he could sense that she was hurt and he wondered whether he had betrayed her."I forgot." He replied with his face averted from her.Eve gave a dry smile. Oh hell, he didn't forget about her. She knew he abandoned her and wasn't ready to tell her why."I remember every damn thing," she told him.Henry swallowed and turned to her. "You do?" he demanded with a raised brow.She gave repeated nods. After she left the hospital, her mother and Olivia engaged her in a series of interviews trying to figure out whether she recalled what triggered the accident.She gave them cold replies stating that the last

FLASHBACK"I really need this job sir and I promise you, I'll ensure you don't regret hiring me." Phil had vowed during his interview.That was a week ago when Henry felt he needed an assistant because of the loads of work he was having in his hands.It was at that point that Henry got to ponder on the cliche 'YOU WON'T KNOW THE VALUE OF WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL YOU LOSE IT.'Eve had been such a great assistant that he didn't get the chance to complain about the cumbersome nature of his job until she was confined in that hospital ward and to crown his woes, his secretary was on a week's leave.He could have gotten anyone to help him do the job in the company but Henry believes that everyone should do one job at a time to promote efficiency.Dane had advised that he gets an assistant hinting at the fact that Eve might not return since she declared her interest in pulling out from the contract and that was how he was linked up with Phil."The job is tasking. I work with professionals and don

It was obvious Henry was between the devil and the deep blue sea. There was Eve on one hand who was mad at him and now Phil. He shifted his gaze to the man kneeling before him.He sat and positioned both his hands on the table, staring down at Phil. "Listen, Phil, I need you to get off that floor.""Please don't take away the job from me." Phil cried out without moving an inch.Henry gave the table a tight slap and yelled. "I said get off that floor." Phil quickly rose to his feet and sat.Henry took his head into his hands. What was going on with him?He stared at Phil for a moment before darting his gaze to the wall. "I'm sorry Phil, I didn't mean to yell at you like that."Phil faked a smile. Henry can even go ahead and hurl insults at him. All he wanted was to keep the job and wouldn't mind rolling on the floor like a nagging child to remain employed."I don't even know what to do." Henry pondered out loud with his gaze fixed on the file before him. If he had known that things w

Henry stared at the watch adorned on his left wrist and darted his gaze to the door. It was ten minutes past the time Phil left his office to get the items he'll be presenting to Eve in his bid to apologise to her. He began hitting his left palm on the table, producing a rhythm. The door to his office was pulled open and the impatient Henry lifted his head and cast it at the door.He sighed in relief and sat up after Phil stepped in. Phil was clinging to a bouquet in his left hand while the box of chocolates was in his right hand.He strode to Henry and placed the items on the table. "I'm sorry sir, I took a lot of time. You specified that the chocolates must not have nuts in them so I had to look for plain chocolate.Henry flashed a quick smile. "It's okay Phil."He stared at the square-shaped box of chocolates and grabbed the bouquet of roses.The scent from the bouquet made its way into his nostrils and his brain quickly picked up a sweet sensation."Good job Phil."Phil slipped

Henry gave his forehead a delicate scrape and took steps to the table. "I chose Phil because...""Because you feel he's going to do a better job than me?" she fired with anger in her voice."That's not the bone of contention Eve. I want Phil to come with me because I don't want to stress you," replied Henry.Eve broke into a dry laugh. "Are you kidding me? Do I look stressed to you?" Henry sighed. "Trust me, Eve, I want the best for you." he maintained. "Take it from the boss Eve. He wants the best for you." Phil commented and cast his gaze to the floor. He knew the remark was going to attract another glare from Eve.She gave a long hiss and threw her back against the chair. "The best for me indeed.""It's a three-hour meeting Eve and judging by your condition, I'll advise you remain here while Phil attends the meeting."Eve sat up and raised a brow. "Condition?"She wondered why Henry was making it sound as if she was in a delicate condition and needed to be monitored."I came to w

Henry was taken aback by Eve's response. He arched a brow. "You can't leave?"She looked up at him and noticed that he was staring at her blankly. If she tells him that her legs were cramped, then he was surely going to yell at her for being disobedient."Why don't you leave? I'll just go through the notes I've taken down. I'll join you later." She said with a fake smile plastered across her face."Oka..y" Henry slowly replied. He could tell that Eve was lying to him. She wouldn't be going through any damn notes. She just wanted to dismiss him."I'll join you shortly in the office." She shooed him away.He gave repeated nods and marched out of the room still suspecting that there was a problem.Immediately after Henry stepped out of the hall, he strode to the back of the conference hall and stood beside a large window. From his chosen spot, he could see Eve by peeping through the window.He watched her rub her palms against one another vigorously. He noticed the pain in her eyes when

"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
