The Billionaire’s Mysterious Wife Chapter Thirteen
Eve lowered her head in shame and ignored Henry's question. "Why don't we check whether the envelope has arrived." she stuttered and pointed to the way out."Wait," Henry said and prevented her from leaving the spot by placing his right hand before her. "You were the girl from the engagement party, right? The girl from Devin's engagement," he said.Eve's expression betrayed her and Henry was convinced that she was the lady he was referring to."Eve heaved a deep sigh and moved to a tight corner where the trash can was. "Did you witness the drama that night? Were you there when I charged to that stage like a maniac?" "Yes," Henry replied. "I was at the engagement party." he justified with a nod.Eve placed her left palm on her forehead and began to pace. "You were there the whole period?" Henry didn't utter a word. He nodded and adjusted his Rolex watch."I was at the engagement party. I know Devin. You looked different back there." he pointed out and Eve knew he was referring to her

Eve giggled for about three seconds and swung her head from left to right in disagreement."What are you saying? You are joking right?" she demanded with her arms spread wide open before Henry.Henry adjusted the leather belt around his waist. "I'm not joking young lady, I'm married." he maintained.Eve smiled and began taking a few steps toward him but he prevented her from coming closer by placing his right hand before her. "Don't come near me ever again. I told you that I'm married," he screamed and turned around backing her.The shocking confession pierced Eve's heart. She felt as if a dagger was plunged into her heart. She held her forehead with both hands as a wave of dizziness took over her entire body. She pressed her eyes and took a few steps backward Eve tried to settle on the kitchen counter but she ended up falling to her knees on the floor.She sat on the floor while trying to catch her breath. She then hugged her knees with her chest as hot tears streamed down her cheeks

Eve wiped the stray tears making their way to her cheeks as she staggered to her apartment. Anyone who saw her walking to her home that night needed not to be told that she was shattered.She made her way through the barely shut door and turned the lights on after getting inside. Eve flung her bag to the right and sank on the largest couch in her living room and a few minutes, her mind drifted to Henry's confession of being married which sparked in her a torrential overflow of tears.Eve stood up and staggered to the corner she flung her bag. She pulled out her cell phone. Olivia had bombarded her phone with calls already. Eve's fragile hands trembled as she dialed Olivia's number."Eve? Are you there? Where have you been?" came Olivia's voice on the phoneEve busted into tears and the phone slipped through her hands. It landed on the floor and she could hear Olivia say"What happened? I'll be there right away. Just hang on." Eve was seated on her red carpet with her back resting on

Eve's hands trembled and in a flash, she dropped to the floor on her knees. Hot tears were already streaming down her cheeks. Elsa ran to her side and wrapped her right arm around her."I'm so sorry Eve." Elsa sympathized and began wiping Eve’s tears.Eve nodded repeatedly as the thought of her fate dawned on her. From the letter Elsa handed to her, her boss had asked her to pick up her stuff and leave the office stating that she was sacked. Eve didn't read the second paragraph where it was stated how she'll be paid for the number of days she had worked so far."I just got fired." she cried out and Elsa hugged her tightly."It's okay Eve. Please don't cry" Elsa consoled her.Elsa helped Eve to rise to her feet. "Do you need anything?" Elsa stuttered.Eve swung her head from left to right and began taking a few steps backwards. She walked out of the office building without carrying anything except the bag she came with. She was consumed by shock."Watch where you are going, miss!" A c

After a warm bath, Eve sat before her large dressing mirror, her legs crossed while her hands worked on her hair. She had loosened her hair from the clutches of her ribbon that morning and had oiled it for it was glittering. She worked on her hair edges and dressed her hair down to her neck. Satisfied by what she had done, she began working on her face. Eve pouted her lips and smiled. The little make-up she had applied had transformed her face.She stood before her wardrobe for about two minutes with her eyes rolling up and down the furniture. She took out some clothes and dumped them on her bed. She found it strange that her outfits had suddenly become unattractive or maybe because she wanted to make heads turn that morning, especially Henry's head.It then dawned on Eve that she was having an interview not a date hence the need for her to be mindful of her appearance. Since fate had earned her an interview in Henry's company, she wasn't going to joke with it. She pulled out a red v

"Are they here?" Henry asked Stacy who just walked into his office. She was wiping the frame of her spectacles with a white handkerchief."Yes sir. Are you guys having the meeting here or should I direct them to the conference room?" replied Stacy."Show them in. We can have the meeting here in my office. It's going to be brief anyway.``He adjusted his necktie and pulled out a file from the cupboard attached to his table.Henry was expecting two of his high-ranking staff and a client for a meeting that morning. He stood up, picked up the closed files on his sofa and returned to his seat.Three men walked into Henry's office. They were smartly dressed and were carrying files in their hands. "Have a seat." Henry offered, pointing to the vacant sofa.Two of his staff sat on the sofa while the client sat on the stool opposite him. "Shall we begin?" demanded Henry after the men were settled."Yes sir." they chorused."I'll begin with our business client here. You have a proposal for me r

"Listen to me" Eve spat and pointed two fingers at him, shocking his two staff who were still in the room.In his mind, Henry kept praying that Eve doesn't speak about the one-night stand. He had hoped she wouldn't talk about it and maybe with the way things were going, he might have to swallow his pride and apologise to her to save his face."Such audacity." Henry heard one of his staff whisper to the other. He knew they were shocked at Eve's boldness."I wanted to be the bigger person. I wanted to shut the fuck up but you decided to act like a piece of shit by ruining my interview." continued Eve. It then dawned on Henry that cancelling Eve's interview was a bad idea. He signalled to the staff in his office to excuse them.The two men stood up and headed out. Henry knew the news of the drama ongoing in his office will soon spread around the various corners of the building like a wildfire.He crashed on his chair. "What do you want, Eve? You wanted to create a scene. Well, congratula

Jen was sitting by the edge of Olivia’s bed, watching her tie her long brown hair into a knot. ”I just can’t believe that all these happened to Eve in a week, damn I feel sorry for her.”Jen and Eve had been close friends for over two years now. Eve met Jen through Olivia and had since then considered Jen her friend. Jen works at the state museum and is always on tours collecting artefacts. She was in the Philippines a week ago and had just learnt about Eve’s ordeal through Olivia.Olivia pulled out plain trousers from her wardrobe. “Devin is a jerk.” She cursed and went for a red top.Jen sighed. “Sometimes I wonder what men want. I mean, who would cheat on a lady like Eve? Someone that beautiful, sexy and ambitious. Devin is a dick.” She said."The asshole cheated on his fiancee instead. They've been together for six years, I heard.""That's pathetic."“I’m certain that Eve will get this job.” Olivia confidently stated and grabbed her purse. Jen stood up and left the bedroom.“Ev

"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 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.

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.

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?

"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.
