Eve's POV

I sighed and turned on my side, staring into empty space. The room was dim. I had turned off the lights except for the lamp on the bedside table. I had tried turning that off as well but I'd gotten terrified at the pitch blackness that resulted and stuck with the lamp.  

The darkness was terrifying, it felt like I was locked up in the basement again. With the light on, it felt easier to breathe.  

I wished that made it easier to sleep too. I had moved to the bed an hour ago after staring at the boring TV screen. And yet I found it hard to sleep. Perhaps that was because I had slept a bit that afternoon.  

The room felt hot despite the cotton nightwear I wore and I sighed, sitting up. What was the point in trying to sleep when sleep eluded me anyways? I shuffled out of bed, turning on the lights in the room. It was almost ten at night and Tom wasn't back. &

    Tom's POV"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I muttered as I stormed into the study, my body trembling like a damned leaf in autumn. What the hell? What the actual hell? I could see it all over again, playing over and over in my damned mind. Barlow. The gun. The kid on the floor. The blood around him. Dammit! I let out a growl, marching towards my desk to pour the contents to the ground. My hands trembled as I shoved it all to the ground, watching the perfect set of stationeries fall to the ground. The noise was a bit comforting. It drowned the crazy sounds in my head for a while. The sounds that called me names. Murderer! Killer!"I didn't kill him," I scoffed at the voice but there was that damned tremor. That shaking of my voice as I denied what my head and heart decided to be true. "I didn't kill him, I didn't!"My words came out as a whisper. I glanced down at the blood on my shirt. I hadn't known it was there. I thought I had gotten rid of the evidence by destroying the coat. I

    Madeline's POV"This is it John,"Freaking perfect."Yeah no shit," The jackass grunted over the phone as if we hadn't managed to do something so fucking amazing.I glanced out the window at Stone's industry, the glass windows catching the sun and sending it right to my eyes. The shit burned but I didn't care. I would conquer it. One day, whether Adam wanted it or not, which was most likely the latter, I would be his wife.And I would be queen of the Stone Foundation."Sound a bit happier will you?" I told the sour idiot. "Today's when we go public. All key investors in the stone foundation will be there.""I'm sure they can't wait to authorize you as Mrs Stone's representative. They're just dying to do so." He said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

    Adam's POVI had my head buried in a gazillion documents when the door to my office flew open. My sister stood at the entrance looking like she had won a dumbass lottery with how hard she was grinning.A sigh escaped me as I reluctantly reclined against my chair. Anabelle's presence here could mean nothing but chaos. We hadn't had a chance to talk ever since mother's birthday party and I knew, I just knew she had a gazillion questions to ask about Eve. I had seen it in her eyes when she came calling me to attend to the ruckus mother would have created."To what do I owe this pleasure?" I grunted. Don't get me wrong, I was pleased to see my little sister. I was just too tired to deal with whatever shenanigans she was determined to throw my way."To honor?" She chuckled, the grin on her face widening as she strode into my room."What?" I fr

    Eve's POVI was home again.No, not the faceless bland home I shared with Tom, a place that has felt more like a cage than a homey shelter in the past ten years. I was back at my parent's house.When I was a kid again.I could see my carefree father's smile as he raced towards me, trying to get a bug I had trapped in my hands out of it before I did something stupid like stuff it in my mouth."Papa!" Little me cried as he snatched the bug and launched it far away, beyond where my eyes could reach. "My bug!""Bugs are a no no," Papa said, his eyes crinkling delightfully as if he was having a blast, watching me.Mama was inside. Probably reading a book or watching through the window. She never really liked the idea of playing outdoors. She would rather we sit round a table of

    TOM’S POV“How’s the building plans coming along, Mr Erik?”Mr Erik, the architect for the mall we wanted to build with the Stone company, grunted as if I had asked him to change a baby’s diaper. “It is going well, I suppose. You and Mr Stone are literally asking for the impossible here. You want me to turn in a huge mall design in a week? It’ll be easier to ask me to give you the moon.”Unpleasant jackass, I thought, a sour taste filling my mouth. I already had a terrible night, I did not need a sour puss on my case. I gripped the phone tighter, trying not to lash out.“You were given two weeks, Mr Erik. Giving excuses instead of results does not suit you,”“Two weeks to turn in a building-““You were informed of the duration before you got the job!” I snapped, unable to reel i

    Madeline's POV"What's the situation like?""What do you think?" John snickered and I sighed. One would think that after all this while, John would be happier working with me. I gave him a rather huge amount of money, the plan we had was working, what else did the jackass want?"You might want to think a bit more deeply before you give me another snarky reply Mister," I scoffed, holding up a necklace against my neck. The gold hues seemed to complement my skin tone. Good.I had to look good for the event coming up. It wasn't a huge thing. The stone foundation had a get together for their employees and investors and of course, Adam Stone had to be there.And wherever Adam Stone was, I was determined to be there as well. After that nonsense he had pulled with the contract of me representing his mother, he deserved a little bit of torment.&nb

    Adam's POVGive me a fucking break!I had known the minute the paps stormed into the hall, asking questions and pretending not to be headed straight for us that Madeline had done it all again. This was definitely her work. She was nothing more than a conniving cheating bitch who would do anything and everything to make sure her goals were accomplished.And she made sure I was one of those goals.Fuck it! This was all mother's fault. She had brought Madeline back into our lives and made it possible for that leech to flourish. Perhaps I had been too complacent. Too fucking complacent. I should have made known what Madeline did to the public. Mother would understand and all of this would not be happening.But hell how was I supposed to know she was going to work her way back into my life? I had thought she was gone for good.

I couldn't decipher where it was coming from, mostly Because I was too damned shocked that anything I owned could make such a loud ruckus and because my maid stood at the center of it all- Dancing."Paula!" I snarled, watching the scene with gritted teeth. What the hell had come over her?! She had been my maid for barely a year but she had never, never done something like this.The audacity to raid my cabinet was so surprising, it was almost hilarious. But what on earth was she doing wriggling around. It was almost eleven at night. She was supposed to be long gone.Paula turned around, her blue eyes dazed as she took me in. Then she laughed, stumbling forward. "Mr Stone, you're home finally,"

I gripped the counter, hanging on, waiting, anticipating.Cold air whipped against my exposed skin as he yanked down the dress and tossed it aside. His breathing was ragged as he trailed kisses down my arched back, to my ass.He let out a hiss, smacking the cheeks, sending painful thrills up my spine and down to my pussy."Adam," I moaned, pushing against him. "Oh please, please."‘Ah fuck, I love it when you beg," he mumured huskily, giving me another smack. Heat pooled between my thighs and my juices spilled down my thighs. Another smack and soon he had me writhing and mewling begging him to give me what I wanted. What we both wanted."So fucking eage

    Adam's POVI watched Eve walk side by side with her mother on the patio. It had taken a great deal of work and patience to convince her mother to come. I had to send the video of Tom molesting Eve to her and that seemed to change everything.That seemed to reveal the truth.They seemed fine now, happy.They had hugged and held each other for hours, weeping buckets while I stood there watching. It tore me to bits, seeing her cry. But she needed it. I knew that."You did good," Mother said, joining me on the balcony where I stood. "I'm sure you've made her very happy.""Thank you mother," I murmured while taking a sip from my brandy. "That was the goal.""Oh," my mother arched her brow in a manner that told me she had something else to say. "And the goal

His very familiar touch."Mhmm," I purred, moaning softly as his hands stroked my arm."Are you up, my pet?"Oh I was . I was now. I had spent the past few days in Adam's arms.But as much as I enjoyed his presence,I feared that it would all end. I tried to push away those thoughts, telling myself that I was just being paranoid.As I opened my eyes, I saw his face looming over me, a smile playing on his lips. It sent a shiver down my spine and a soft sigh slipped from my lips. Adam leaned in closer, his eyes darkening with desire. The air between us crackled with tension.“Hey,” I whispered.“He

With the way she had cried, you would think Adam was carting me off all the way to the moon. But I was sure she was only too happy for me.The drive was quiet. And yet it felt so... Peaceful. The days after the incident at the warehouse had felt like that. Slow and peaceful and it was good.In the meantime.His house... Scratch that, his mansion was huge!The gate creaked open as we approached, revealing a long driveway lined with blooming cherry blossom trees. The mansion loomed ahead, its grandeur taking my breath away. Adam guided the car to a stop in front of the massive oak doors, and I stepped out, feeling small against the backdrop of opulence.“I thought y

    Adam's POVFour days. They passed by in a blur. I couldn't remember much about what happened, but I could remember how I felt every single second.Afraid. Terrified. Devastated. Nothing had prepared me for what I had seen. Nothing had prepared me to lose Eve.When Tom had shot her, I was pretty sure I went mad. It had taken Micheal and the police to pry me off a bloodied Tom by the time I was done. The ambulance took its damned sweet time to arrive so while I called the pilot to the private jet, Micheal had checked her wound and helped do first aid. And I had held her in my arms on the flight home.Pale. She grew pale rapidly. Her pretty skin had lost its color until she looked so drained it terrified the shit out of me.I could feel the weight of her in my arms, her breath shallow and weak against my chest. Panic surged thr

    Author's POVWell duty called.Micheal Hamilton sped down the road that led outside New York city, a happy grin on his face. One would think he was on his way to attend a freaking birthday party with how excited he looked."Will you stop grinning like that?" Adam who sat in the passenger seat said with a concerned look. "It's fucking creepy man."Micheal chuckled and took a sharp turn at the same time, earning a glare from his best friend. It had been a while since they left Isabella Stone mansion and frankly he had expected Adam to rain down his questions.Instead, his best friend behaved as typical as anyone would expect Adam Stone to. He sat in the passenger seat quietly, occasionally glancing at him. If Micheal had to guess , he would say Adam was trying to connect the dots and figure out who or what he was exactly.

    Adam's POV"Your mother says, your little miss Eve is hanging around somewhere,"Those were the first words Micheal said when I met him at the gate. He had the damned cocky grin on his face as if something permanently amused him."Perhaps I do," I chuckled, slipping my hands in my pocket. "With that grin on your face, I'm not so sure I want you to meet her.""Oh please, I have to. I need to know the woman who makes you do the craziest of shit," Micheal crackled, walking ahead of me into my mother's house."Try not to say shit when you meet her,""Shit like what?" he asked innocently and I just knew he was going to try something crazy when he saw Eve.We stopped by Mom's study to say."Hello, boys," Mom greeted us with a warm smile.

"I'll signal the men."After a whole damned argument session with Barlow, he finally agreed to help. But what could possibly be much more valuable to Adam Stone? If we could get him to take back the charges and then say he had come up with the fake proof and lied that we were trafficking then everything would be solved.There was nothing the word of a billionaire could not accomplish.
