Eve

Eyes as intoxicating as sin, tousled hair made for tugging, and a body that could ruin a woman—every hard muscle pressed against me, claiming me.

I let out a shaky breath, my thighs clenching involuntarily as I tried to focus on the papers in front of me. But it was no use. My thoughts kept circling back to that night.

To him.

I did it. I let someone touch me.

And the worst part? That person wasn’t the one I ever thought it would be.

My fingers tightened on the pen in my hand as heat crept up my neck. No matter how much I told myself to let it go, my mind replayed it in vivid detail. The way his hand felt, the way he knew exactly what to do, as though he’d studied me, memorized every way to break me apart.

I should regret it. I do regret it.

After how he treated me yesterday afterwards, I should be angry, put off by his behaviour. Damn, I should have even slapped his face.

But if I were given the same chance again, I knew deep down I would have done it again.

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 22| Who gave you a hickey

    Eve “I’ve decided to forgive you for your actions yesterday. If you apologize deeply, of course. I’ll take you back.” “What?” I stared at him, stunned. Of all the absurd, condescending things I’d heard in my life—and trust me, there had been plenty—this? This was the cherry on the cake. He actually had the audacity to say that. For a moment, I wondered if I’d misheard him. Maybe my exhaustion was playing tricks on me. But no. The self-satisfied smirk on his face confirmed that I’d heard him perfectly. He thought I’d grovel for him, that I’d crawl back to him like nothing had happened. As if I didn’t know exactly what kind of man he was. Nick was a liar, a cheat, and a master manipulator. The nerve of him. I felt a flicker of anger spark deep inside my chest, small at first but growing quickly, spreading like wildfire. My jaw tightened as I struggled to keep my expression neutral. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 23| I will personally ensure you lose that hand of yours.

    Eve Hickey? Oh, right. I had a hickey on my neck. I mentally groaned at myself as the memory came rushing back. This morning had been a disaster from the start. After what happened last night, the humiliation was too much. I couldn’t stay in that house and leave the next day in shame. So, to maintain the little dignity I had left, I left immediately. But surprisingly, his driver drove me home, leaving me even more confused about what his feelings truly were. I barely slept when I got home, my mind racing with everything that had happened. When I finally dragged myself out of bed, I was running late, so I hadn’t even taken a proper look in the mirror. It wasn’t until I was wearing my dress that I saw it. The faint bruise on my neck, just above my collarbone—a mark that practically screamed “lovely bite.” My face had flushed red as I stared at it, realizing there was no time to cover it properly. So, I had no choice but to pull my hair down, letting the strands fall stra

    Eve “If she has to repeat herself again, Doctor Nick, I will personally ensure you lose that hand of yours.” Theodore’s voice was calm and cold, but there was something beneath it—a barely restrained anger. Both Nick and I froze at the sound of his voice. His tone wasn’t loud, yet it carried a weight so sharp, it sent chills down my spine. “M-Mr. Theodore, I—” Nick stammered once more, but Theodore’s icy gaze snapped towards him, silencing him instantly. He stopped mid-sentence, his mouth clamping shut as his eyes darted between me and Theodore. I could feel the tension radiating from him as he quickly pulled away from me, stepping back like the coward he was. The relief was immediate. The pain in my scalp subsided, and I exhaled shakily, reaching up to rub my head, gently massaging the spot where Nick had yanked my hair. My fingers brushed against my neck, and I winced slightly, more out of annoyance than pain. I was this close to putting this bastard in his place. I glan

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 25| Eve, you have to save her!

    Eve The cold air touched my face as soon as I opened the door, blowing my hair back and wrapping around me like a much-needed escape. I closed my eyes for a moment and breathed deeply, letting the tension in my chest ease just a little. Out here, it was easier to think, to breathe, compared to the suffocating atmosphere of the hospital and that stifling office. If I could have left work early, I would’ve walked out and never looked back—at least for today. I would’ve done anything not to see Nick’s face again. Stretching my arms over my head, I let out a long sigh, trying to shake off the tension in my body. But just as I was about to relax, a hand tapped my shoulder. I yelped, my heart nearly jumping out of my chest as I spun around, clutching at the front of my coat. Theodore stood there, watching me, one eyebrow raised. “What happened? Did I hurt you?” he asked, tilting his head slightly as if to check if he had injured my shoulder. I blinked at him, my breath still c

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 26| You're going to die

    Eve Twelve years ago “You’re going to die,” I said flatly, my voice cutting through the noisy church cafeteria like a knife. All movement stopped. Forks clattered onto plates, spoons paused mid-air. Every child in the room turned to look at me, their eyes wide with disbelief. The boy sitting across from me froze, his fork still in his hand. He was fourteen, a year older than me, but his skinny frame made him look much younger. His shirt, clearly a hand-me-down, hung off his shoulders, baggy and loose. Clothes that might’ve been too tight on me looked as though they were swallowing him whole. “What?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “You’re going to die,” I repeated. I didn’t care that we were in the middle of the cafeteria or that everyone was staring at me. It was just the truth, plain and simple. His fork dropped from his hand, clanging against his plate. His lips trembled, and before I knew it, tears welled up in his eyes. Then he started crying. Loud, hiccuping

    Eve Present Day Weak. I acted weak. I did everything I was told to do. I thought if I acted weak—if I just became what everyone wanted me to be—I’d finally be enough. That I’d finally have a place. When I was twelve, I might have been quiet, cold, and weird, but I was still a child. And like every other child, I just wanted a family. I just wanted someone to love me, someone to tell me I belonged. That twelve-year-old girl had been brave in her own way, standing firm when everyone mocked her, ridiculed her, hated her. But eventually, she changed. I changed. I started smiling when I didn’t feel like it. I made myself smaller, quieter. I pretended to be scared, stupid, weak. Anything to make people feel comfortable around me. I let people walk over me because I thought that was the answer. That if I just played my part, I’d finally get what I was looking for. But I kept asking myself over the years—was this really the answer I had been searching for? Would it ever be

    Eve I sat on the hard plastic chair outside the ER, my hands trembling as they rested on my lap. My legs shook uncontrollably, and I couldn’t stop the restless tapping of my foot against the tiled floor. It wasn’t cold, but I felt like I was freezing. I could barely feel my hand or move my fingertip. After saving her life, the fear of losing her wouldn’t leave me. My whole body wouldn’t listen to me anymore. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together, but it wasn’t working. This didn’t feel real. None of it. It felt like a movie I’d accidentally walked into—a scene playing out that I didn’t understand, that I wasn’t ready for. It felt as though I was dreaming, but no matter how hard I forced myself to wake up, I kept waking up to this reality. My chest tightened as I replayed the moment in my head. The way Ava had looked so small, so fragile on that hospital bed. The way her heartbeat had slowed down right in front of me. The way it felt like everythin

    Eve “Miss Ava, good evening. I’m David, Mother Ava’s lawyer, and I'm here to read out her will for you.” The short, elderly man spoke softly as he adjusted his glasses, his small round face lined with years of experience. My gaze flicked from him to the thick document sitting on the table between us. My vision blurred as my heart pounded against my ribs. Impossible. This is impossible. This is… She left a will? She knew? I swallowed hard, my throat dry. My thoughts were spiraling, crashing into each other, leaving me breathless. How could she possibly write a will unless she knew something I didn’t? Unless she knew she might— Wait a minute. The realization struck me like a bolt of lightning. Don’t tell me. My head snapped up, and I stared at the lawyer, cutting off whatever he was about to say. “Does she know?” My voice was weak, shaky, but the question cut through the room like a knife. Both the lawyer and Sister Catherine froze, their bodies stiffenin

    Xander I opened my eyes. Everything was a blur, and the world spun around me. My body felt like dead weight against the mattress, refusing to respond. My face was damp with sweat. This was the aftereffect of the drug. The only sleeping drug that could actually knock me out, but the price was paralysis. A few seconds where I was nothing more than a prisoner in my own body. I let my gaze drift to the window. It was bright outside. I stared at the ceiling. How exhausting. After a moment, I flexed my fingers, feeling the stiffness in my joints fade. With effort, I pushed myself up. Normally, I shouldn’t be able to stand for an hour, but my body had already adapted to the drug. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, sliding my feet into the slippers. My shirt clung to my skin, damp with sweat. Annoyed, I tugged it off and tossed it onto the bed before heading to the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face, brushed my teeth, and stepped into the shower. Running a hand through

    RosaI stared at the photographs on the table, my expression indifferent. My legs were crossed, one foot bouncing lazily as I skimmed through them. Levi stopped in front of me, shifting slightly, his face tinged red. “Dr. Rosa, I brought your favourite mint ice cream on my way here.”I glanced up at the big cup in his hands. My eyes flickered to the side, catching Elijah nudging Asher with a knowing grin. “She’s becoming more popular every day,” Elijah muttered under his breath. “You should improve on your moves.”Asher ignored him, as if he were spouting nonsense.Levi hesitated when I didn't say anything. “I’m sorry for getting it without your permission. I didn’t kno—”I smiled, taking the ice cream from him. “Thank you, Levi. I was craving some.”He sighed in relief. I peeled off the lid and scooped a bite with the tiny plastic spoon, letting out a small moan at the taste.“Oh, how’s your older brother?” I asked, eyes still on the photographs. “He’s still going for his checkups,

    Rosa “Hahahaha!” I laughed, my stomach aching from the effort. I clutched my wine glass tightly, trying to keep it from spilling all over my black hoodie and sweatpants. But the more I looked at the three boys in front of me, the harder it was to stop. "How long are you going to laugh for?" Asher asked. I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye, barely catching my breath. "Hah, until I’m satisfied." He scoffed, clearly not amused, which only made it worse. I took a deep breath, shaking my head as I tried to regain composure. "Okay, let me get this straight," I said, holding up a hand. "Elijah and Roman decided to play thief and steal Mia's purse. But then, just like a badly written action movie, our hero, Asher, swooped in and stopped it?" “Yes. How many times am I going to repeat myself?” "Haha. Men," I sighed between giggles. "Sometimes, I seriously wonder what goes on in their heads." Elijah huffed. "It was a perfectly good plan, you know." I arched my brow, smirking. "L

    Mia I stared at the man in front of me. He was too attractive. So much so that my brain struggled to function properly. Xander and this man were both devastatingly good-looking, but in completely different ways. Xander’s beauty was something rare. He looked dignified, refined, almost otherworldly. He looked like he belonged in a painting, a masterpiece that captured everyone's attention. He didn’t need to do anything to make women fall for him, his mere existence was enough. But this man was the kind of beautiful that made you sin. His presence alone was sinful. He was temptation wrapped in leather and tattoos. Everything about him screamed dangerous. "Who the fuck are you?!" The leader of the robbers spun around, aiming his gun at the man. But before he could do anything, his companion froze, his eyes widening in sheer terror. “T-That man… he’s Asher.” The leader stiffened, his face losing all color. "Oh my god," the second man whispered. "What are we going to do?" So, his n

    Mia “You’re so beautiful in person, Mia,” she said warmly.I smiled politely, glancing up from my plate as Mrs. Smith beamed at me.“Oh, thank you, Mrs. Smith.” I returned the smile. “You’re too kind. You’re even more beautiful than I am.”The middle-aged woman laughed, touching her face lightly. “Well, we old folks can’t lose to you young ones.”Beside me, my mother chimed in with her usual charm. “Oh, what are you saying, old folks? You’re very young and beautiful, Mrs. Smith. Sometimes, I have to put in extra effort when dressing up because I don’t want you to outshine me.”Mrs. Smith waved her off playfully. “Oh, really? Well, I’ve been using this new cream lately.”My mother’s eyes lit up. “Really? What kind of cream?”Mrs. Smith leaned in slightly, as if sharing a secret. “Don’t tell anyone, okay? The cream isn’t widely available yet, so all the rich ladies are scrambling to get their hands on it.”My mother eagerly nodded. “Of course, I won’t tell.”Mrs. Smith smiled. “It’s ca

    RosaThe maintenance worker leaned down, extending his hand. “Dr. Rosa, can you raise your hand higher so I can pull you up?”I stretched my arm as high as I could, but my fingers barely brushed his. Damn it. I bent my knees slightly, ready to jump and try again when a strong arm wrapped around my waist.I paused at the sudden touch. Before I could react, Xander lifted me effortlessly, one hand securely gripping my waist, the other... resting firmly on my ass.“....”Don’t look at him, Rosa. Don’t you dare.I clenched my jaw, focusing on the open hatch above. But my body betrayed me. Curiosity won, and I glanced down.Xander met my gaze, as if this was the most normal thing in the world. He raised an eyebrow. “Are you not going to raise your hands?”I smiled playfully. “Mr. Xander, it's not that I'm complaining, but are you perhaps using this opportunity to—” I felt his fingers press ever so slightly “Keep talking like that, and I might reconsider my help, Dr. Rosa.”I chuckled and

    Rosa Twelve years ago They say when you’re about to die, different emotions surface. Some people regret their life choices. Others think about how unfair it all is. Some don’t even understand what’s happening. But I felt nothing. I should have cried. I should have been angry at how unfair this was. It was just tomorrow, and everything would have been over. I would have been free. I could have lived however I wanted. Just one more day. But the world doesn’t give you tomorrows. It only takes and takes until there’s nothing left. The cold water surrounded me, pulling me under. I couldn’t move, and my consciousness was fading. I tried to look for Daisy, but the darkness swallowed everything. She could have fallen anywhere. And from what I saw, I doubted she survived, the car had hit her hard. Ah… so this was how I was going to die. Drowning alone, with no one by my side. I didn’t pity myself. But I pitied the ones who actually cared about me. Theodore, his family….. Xander. Would

    Xander I looked at the woman in front of me, her hand resting on the wall beside me. I turned my head to the other side, but before I could step away, she lifted her other hand, blocking my path. The elevator doors shut behind her, leaving me with no way out until we reached my floor. I exhaled sharply, finally lifting my gaze to her. She was smiling mischievously, her face close but not too close, it was just enough to be annoying. “What are you doing, Dr. Rosa?” I asked, my voice flat. Her smile widened. "I think I should be asking you that, Mr. Xander, because I definitely saw you trying to close the elevator the moment you saw me." I arched a brow, unimpressed. “And?” “And, it looks like the person you were running away from was me. Normally, people don’t run away from me,” she mused, as if genuinely puzzled. “Like you might have noticed, I’m way too pretty for people to do that. So, Mr. Xander,” she grinned, “I’m a little confused. Why are you running away from me?”

    RosaI stared at the CT scan displayed on the computer screen, my fingers lightly tapping against the desk. The results were almost identical to the previous ones, there were no significant improvement. His case was complicated.I glanced toward the see-through observation window. Inside the CT room, Mr. Winters was laying still, the machine scanning his unresponsive body. Beside me, the young doctor shifted nervously. “As we can see from the results, the trauma to his skull caused a severe hemorrhage, leading to the formation of multiple blood clots. The pressure on his brainstem is significant, which likely contributed to his coma.” He adjusted his glasses. “Given his age and the extent of the damage, his chances of regaining consciousness naturally are extremely low. The human brain is unpredictable, and coma recovery is rarely something we can force. It depends entirely on the patient’s response.”I continued analyzing the results. Blood clots. That was the key.
