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

"You need to clean up," Dane advised Henry.Henry turned to him with a quirked brow. Was Dane asking him to abandon Eve?Dane sensed his conflicting thought. "You can go home, clean up and return immediately after that maybe by the time you return, she would have woken up," he said.Henry turned away, communicating his lack of interest in the suggestion. "I came with the jeep so I can drive you home and once you're done, we will hurry back here," Dane added.Henry stood up with a groan. He felt weak and his clothes were smelling of blood. He looked filthy. Perhaps a bath will suffice. He turned to Dane. "Do you think we should wait for the girls to arrive before we leave?" he was referring to Eve's friends.Dane shook his head in disagreement. "I'll suggest we leave as soon as possible. You need to clean up and besides, it's not as if we are doing anything waiting out here so I'll suggest we move right now."Henry agreed with a nod and slipped his phone into his pants pocket."I'll

Henry gave Dane the look that says 'I told you, we should have remained in the hospital.' He parted his lips and wanted to speak when Dane hushed him by placing a finger on his lip.Henry turned away with a frustrated sigh. "Listen Olivia." Dane continued as he wheeled the Jeep toward the mansion. "This is not the time to be insensitive. I need you guys to tell me where you are.""You don't have any right to tell me what to do." Olivia retorted. I called you so you could know that even if you abandon Eve, other people will always be there for her.Henry threw his head back in frustration. He knew that soon, all fingers would point to him."Stop being Childish!" Dane fired and turned to stare at Henry after he commented.Had he gone far? He doesn't know how to handle women and Olivia was pissing the hell out of him.They heard Olivia gasp through the phone speaker and they knew she was going to rain down curses at them soon. They got to the mansion. Dane drove to the garage and pulled

Henry opened his eyes after a slight groan. He closed his eyes and opened them almost immediately. He rolled his wearied eyes around his new environment. His eyes had lumps underneath.There was a drip hooked to his left wrist and when he stared at his chest, he discovered that his joggers were swapped for the hospital uniform. He sighed in frustration, wishing he could disappear from the environment.He turned away with a sigh and soon, his nostrils were picking up the annoying scent of medication which was driving him insane. "Bloody hospital!" he cussed and sat up. As a kid, his mother would always drag him to a hospital when he was ill and when he was admitted, Henry would cry all night till he got discharged. He hated hospitals and since he clocked 18, he stopped going to hospitals when he was ill. He would only have a doctor examine him at his residence and administer treatment to him there.He rested his back against the wall and felt his forehead with his left palm. His head

She unapologetically stared at the damaged phone on the floor and shifted the hard gaze back to Henry. "You son of a bitch."She charged toward the stunned Henry and wanted to grab him but Dane quickly intervened. He rushed toward her and grabbed her from behind. She tried to free herself from his grab but couldn't. He was too strong for her.Henry was taken aback by Olivia's violent reaction. Yes, he had expected her to flare up and scream at him from the way she was sounding pissed on the phone earlier but the violent outburst was what he didn't see coming.The raging Olivia began sending repeated slaps on Dane's hands as he took steps backwards. She went on screaming and hitting him. "Let go of me you son of a bitch. I need to teach your boss a lesson," she yelled.Henry placed his back against the wall. Was she going to attack him? Couldn't she admit that he was admitted? His headache returned and the continuous scream from Olivia made him feel. as if his head was going to explode

Olivia made her way back to Eve's room. Jen was sitting by the edge of the bed, watching Eve who was yet to open her eyes. She was such a sleeping beauty to behold but Jen wished she could just blink.She placed a left hand on Jen's shoulder and flashed a quick smile.Jen looked up at Olivia after a sigh. "Are you done fighting with Dane?" she demanded and darted her gaze back to Eve."I fought with Henry instead." Olivia boasted and sank onto the sofa. She had never imagined that shouting and kicking would make her this wearied. She threw her head backwards and told Jen about the drama she had staged in Henry's private ward a while ago.By the time she was done narrating the incident, Jen had a dropped jaw. She got off the edge of the bed and moved toward Olivia. She stood before her with arms folded across her chest."You broke his phone and tried to attack him?"Olivia sat up. "His loyal bodyguard saved him. I would have thought him a lesson," she said.Jen broke into a laugh and

All Mrs Bloom wanted to do at that moment was to stare into her daughter's beautiful eyes and speak to her. She wanted her lively daughter back, not Eve who was sleeping like a log."And when is she going to recover?" Mr Bloom asked. He wanted to see his daughter open her eyes then maybe, he might believe in the recovery process the doctor was hinting on.The doctor looked him straight in the eyes and said. "Your daughter is making huge progress. She'll be fine." "But do you think it's normal?" Mrs Bloom threw the question at the doctor and began rubbing her daughter's left palm tenderly. "Are you sure she's not in a coma or something?"The nurse turned to address the woman. "As I said, the patient is undergoing a recovery process. She's not in a coma. The sedatives are serving their purpose. You guys need to relax and be patient. She'll wake up at the right time." The doctor turned to Mr Bloom. and flashed one of her reassuring smiles. "Excuse me," She said and walked out. The nur

"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
