Eve

“Get married in my place, sister.”

Those words.

They rang in my ears like a distant echo, over and over, louder with every repetition until I could hardly think. For a moment, the world seemed to tilt, and I stared at Mia, disbelief coursing through me.

I must have misheard her.

It couldn’t be real.

But as I looked at her, my stomach twisted painfully. The look on her face told me everything. The sly curve of her lips, the glint in her eyes—she wasn’t joking. Mia never joked. At least, not with me.

She was serious.

Dead serious.

The ringing in my ears grew louder. I felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. My chest tightened as I tried to process what she had just said, but my mind refused to cooperate.

Marry in her place? Was she really asking me to take her place? To take on yet another thing she didn’t want?

I swallowed hard, my throat dry and burning, but the words wouldn’t come. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move.

Mia’s smile widened slightly,

    Eve “No?” my mother repeated, her voice echoing through the room like I had just said the most absurd thing in the world. They all stared at me—eyes wide, mouths slightly agape. For a moment, it was almost comical, like a scene from one of those dramatic plays where the characters freeze in exaggerated disbelief. I would have laughed if my heart wasn’t pounding so hard it felt like it might burst out of my chest. My hands trembled in my lap, and I desperately tried to control it by clutching my dress. The fabric bunched in my fists, grounding me, though it felt like I was standing on the edge of something far bigger than I could handle. I couldn’t believe I had said it. I had never said no to them before. Not once. No matter what they wanted or asked I made sure to do it. I had always been the quiet, obedient daughter, the one who nodded and did what she was told. The one who stood in the background, unnoticed, while they doted on Mia. And now, I had refused them. I swallowe

    Eve I blinked, disoriented, as the pain in my head and face blurred everything around me. I reached for the glass table to steady myself. But I staggered back, collapsing onto the cold marble floor. The world swirled around me, and I made no attempt to stand again. If I lost consciousness, they would just think I was faking it to get their attention. “Dad…” I croaked, my voice trembling. “I didn’t mean to—” “Shut up!” he roared, his face contorted with fury. His eyes were blazing, not with concern for me but with unrelenting anger. “How dare you hurt her? After everything she’s gone through! Do you know how much she struggled to stay alive, but you want to kill her? Take her away from us because you can’t control your anger? After everything we’ve done for you, this is how you repay us?” “I didn’t mean to!” I said as tears spilled from my eyes. “She dug her nails into me—I didn’t mean to push her! Believe me, I would never hurt Mia on purpose.” “Don’t lie!” he shouted, poi

    Eve "Back here again? Aren’t there better ways to die, or do you just enjoy making me save you?” I froze, my heart skipping a beat at the familiar, deep voice. That night, even now, that voice was there to pull my mind away from the dark thoughts I never seemed to escape. Slowly, I whipped my head around, and there he was. My breath caught. Even in the dim light of the night, his face was striking—sharp jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a look of effortless confidence that made my stomach twist and my throat dry. Like I said, beautiful wasn’t a strong enough word to describe this man. He looked like the kind of man who would have countless women around him, yet still remain unattainable. He raised an eyebrow at me, his expression unreadable, though there was something vaguely amused in his gaze. I realized too late that I'd been staring at him like a lovestruck teenager. Oh, how embarrassing. “Or,” he said, his voice low. “are you just stalking me?” His words snap

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 10| Was this some kind of twisted coincidence

    Xander The night before I threw the woman across the room with more force than I intended, but I didn’t care. She hit the wall hard, the impact reverberating through the room. A low, guttural groan escaped her lips as she slumped to the floor, clutching her bleeding head with trembling hands. Her eyes darted to me, wide with disbelief. She hadn’t expected this, hadn’t expected the strength, the ruthlessness. After all, I was just a man stuck in a wheelchair. But it was clear she had underestimated me. She tried to push herself up, but her legs wobbled, and she staggered back down, still clutching her head as blood dripped between her fingers. Her hand slipped to her waist, and when I saw the glint of the knife, my movements were instinctive. In one swift motion, I pulled out the gun from under my pillow, the cold weight of it familiar in my grip, and pointed it directly at her. “Don’t,” I said, my voice sharp, calm. She froze, her hand hovering near the knife as her gaze fli

  • The Disabled Billionaire Is Obsessed With Me    Chapter 11| I had hit it. Right.

    Eve Present Day “Spend the night with me, and I’ll make you forget everything.” That’s what he had said. And oh God, the things that went through my brain in that single moment… I thought I’d misheard him at first, but the way his piercing blue eyes bore into mine made it clear I hadn’t. My mind spun with all the possibilities—none of them innocent. Kinky. That was the word that popped into my head, and once it was there, it wouldn’t leave. I’d expected something wild, something intimate, something that would push boundaries I wasn’t sure I had. And yet, despite my nerves, I had agreed. What choice did I have? I wasn’t about to back down after being so bold, after yelling at him and spilling my heart out like that. Backing out now would have been foolish and embarrassing. And I had already embarrassed myself a lot today. I needed to man up and act indifferent about this whole situation. So when he led me into his mansion—a place ten times the size of where I live…..I tried

    Mia “They’ve gone. You can wake up now,” Eloise’s voice came softly from beside me. My eyes snapped open, and I let out a long, exaggerated groan as I stretched my arms. My entire body felt stiff from lying still for so long, and I rolled my neck, wincing slightly. “Ugh, finally,” I muttered, sitting up slowly and rubbing my temples. My best friends, Eloise and Adele were perched on either side of the bed, watching me with amused expressions. “I swear,” I sighed, shaking my head. “If I had to fake being unconscious any longer, I think I would’ve passed out for real. Do you know how exhausting it is pretending to be weak and helpless?” Adele laughed, shaking her head. “Your poor parents were so worried, though. I actually felt bad for them.” I waved her off, rolling my eyes. “They’re fine. They always overreact. It's nothing new. I just wanted them to leave quickly so I could breathe. I mean, seriously, how much fussing can two people do? It’s embarrassing.” Eloise smirked, “You

    Eve I had hit it… right. I hit it right! Oh my God!. A grin spread across my face, unstoppable and wild. My heart raced with adrenaline, and I couldn’t contain the excitement bursting out of me. I did it. I actually hit the target and so perfectly at that. “Did you see that? Did you—” I spun around in pure elation, ready to bask in their reactions, but the words caught in my throat. I froze. Luke stood there, his mouth hanging open, his eyes wide with shock. He looked like he was trying to process what had just happened, as if his brain refused to believe it. His expression was so ridiculous I almost laughed, but then my gaze shifted. And then I saw him. The man who commanded all the attention in the room. He smiled. It was fleeting, just a flicker on his lips, but I caught it. It was there—a flash of something raw and real. But as quickly as it appeared, it was gone, replaced by his usual stoic, unreadable mask. My excitement faltered for just a moment, my hea

    Eve “I know you want to die, but live—not for anyone else, but for yourself. Please, take my hand. Please! I can't let you die. I can’t—” I jolted awake, my heart pounding heavily. My hand flew instinctively to my chest, my fingers curling over my damp skin as I gasped for breath. Another nightmare? No, it wasn't a nightmare….it was a memory. My body trembled as I looked around, wide-eyed and disoriented. My breathing was shallow, and for a terrifying moment, I felt like the walls were closing in. This wasn’t my room. My room didn’t look anything like this—nothing so elegant, nothing so expensive. It was a stark contrast to the simple and modest space I was used to calling my own. My heart skipped a beat, panic bubbling to the surface. Where was I? And then I remembered. I was still in his house. I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to relax as I leaned back against the headboard. My chest still heaved, but the suffocating pressure began to ease. I was spending

    Nathan I barely heard my mother’s voice over the ringing in my ears. My breath was ragged, my body trembling as I stared at the shattered vase on the floor. “Nathan, that is enough!” My mother’s voice cut through my haze of anger. “What if your father hears breaking things in your room? What are you doing?!” I saw red. My head snapped toward her, my hand already rising to strike, but then I froze. My mother. “Fuck!!” I snarled, my entire body coiled so tight I thought I might explode. I needed to hit something—anything. And then I saw the maid standing by the door, her head lowered, her presence insignificant. Without thinking, I lashed out. My palm cracked against her cheek, sending her stumbling to the floor with a painful yelp. She clutched her face, but she didn’t make a sound. She didn’t fight back. She wouldn’t dare. Because there were two kinds of people in this world. People at the top, those who held power, those who could do whatever they wanted without consequence

    Xander "Why wouldn't you just die? It would benefit everyone if you were not alive!" The night I was nearly murdered by that pathetic excuse of a maid, she had said the exact same thing. And now, here was my idiotic stepbrother, repeating it like a fool who didn’t know the weight of his words. Coincidence? I doubted that. Was Nathan the man I was looking for? No. Too many people wanted me dead. My stepmother and her little puppet were just two among many. But this confirmed something I had suspected for a while. Nathan had sent that maid. How utterly stupid of him. He was still glaring at me, unaware that his mouth had just signed a confession. "What?" he snapped, his voice dripping with irritation. "Do you know why I've never bothered to claim your lives?" I asked, my voice calm, almost amused. "Why I've let you live so many times when I could have easily killed you?" Nathan’s jaw clenched. Gianna narrowed her eyes. "It’s because no matter what you two have don

    Xander I stared at my father, emotionless. The news did nothing to me—it didn’t surprise me, didn’t shake me, didn’t change a damn thing. The only thing I cared about was how he had found out so quickly. He studied me for a long moment before finally speaking. “You already knew, didn't you? You knew she could fix your legs." Did I? I had no idea. I wouldn’t say I knew for certain that she could fix my legs, but I had my suspicions. The first time we met, when she helped relieve the pain in my legs, was the first clue. Then there was my personal doctor—one of the best in the world, who had looked downright fascinated when I pointed out pressure points she told me to target. It was as if he hadn’t even considered that possibility before. And then, she turned out to be the woman I was marrying, and she was a doctor. At first, I thought it was a stroke of luck, a perfect opportunity. If she could fix my legs, I could use her. That had been the plan. That was why I went to th

    Xander Nathan leaned back in his chair, his smile full of self-satisfaction. "So, I sealed the deal with the Jones family, father. They were difficult to deal with, but after a while, I just had to persuade them to invest in us." I looked at the scene in front of me, keeping my expression blank. Nathan and Gianna were both grinning like fools, waiting for my father’s approval like obedient dogs. My father sat in his seat, his face unreadable, as always. He gave a slow nod, it was barely an acknowledgment but that was enough for them. Nathan straightened up, puffing out his chest like a child being praised for doing something mildly competent. Gianna, ever the doting mother, placed a hand on her son's arm, her eyes practically glowing with pride. I watched, unimpressed. What a joke. This was a waste of my time. The only reason I was here was because my father had requested my presence, and he never did that unless it was something important. But now, listening to Nathan boast ab

    Eve "Eve.” I snapped out of my thoughts, looking up from my hands to meet Emma’s concerned gaze. She was one of my coursemates from college. We had spent a lot of time together back then, but ever since we started our internships at different hospitals, we had drifted apart. Still, when I called her for help, she didn’t hesitate to be here for me. For that, I was grateful. Emma gave me a reassuring smile and gently held my hand. “I'm sorry for taking too long.” I forced myself to smile back. “It’s okay. Are you done with the test yet?” Emma nodded “I am, but can you come and see someone for a second? I know you don’t want to see any doctor, but I really think you should. It’s better to meet a professional doctor rather than an intern.” I frowned, surprised. I had wanted to keep this low-key, which was why I came to Emma in the first place. She was the only person I trusted enough to keep this confidential. Emma took patient dignity seriously, she would never let anyone know abo

    Eve “I know you want to die, but live, not for anyone else, but for yourself. Please, take my hand. Please! I can't let you die. I can’t—” "Let go. Don't try to save a dead man. Nobody would cry for me if you let go.” His voice was hollow, stripped of everything that made a person human. I tightened my grip on his wrist, refusing to let go. My chest ached as I looked at him. There was no light in his eyes, no fight left in his body. How much pain must a person endure to reach this point? Will I one day find myself here, standing on the edge, refusing someone’s outstretched hand? Will I also break? Will I give up on life? I had no idea. But there was one thing I knew. "Maybe you're right, maybe you have nobody to cry for you," I whispered, my voice shaking. "But don't you think you're selfish for trying to kill yourself? You're still breathing. Your heart is still beating. As long as you’re alive, there’s still a chance for you to overcome everything. Don't give others the sati

    Asher I stormed out of the room, my mind racing with everything Adele had just told me. “Asher, wait.” She called after me, her voice urgent, but I didn’t slow down. I didn’t even look back. My body was running on pure adrenaline, my main thought was to kill everyone—her parents, her sister, the man she married, every damn single person that even dared to make her cry. They would think twice before taking advantage of her again. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, Mateo and Elijah, who had been leaning against the wall waiting for us, immediately straightened. Elijah’s brows furrowed as he took in my expression. "What happened? What’s wrong?" I ignored him. I grabbed my keys from the table, ready to leave, but before I could reach the door, a firm hand clamped down on my shoulder. Mateo. "I don’t know what’s wrong," he said, his voice calmer than it should have been, "but don’t. Your sister is worried." A low growl rumbled in my chest. How annoying, I don’t have time f

    Asher Present day The room was dead silent, Adele’s words echoing in my fucking head like a gunshot that wouldn’t fade. My Eve had been alive all this time. I should have felt relief. Hell, I should have felt something other than this burning rage consuming me. But all I could think about was the years I spent drowning in grief, thinking she was gone forever. All I could think about was the nights I spent wishing I had been there, wishing I had died with her because living without her had felt like hell. And all this time, Adele knew. My own sister knew. My fists clenched at my sides, my nails digging into my palms. If she weren’t my blood, I would have put a bullet in her head without hesitation. I inhaled slowly, trying to control my rage. Then I lifted my eyes to meet hers. “Finish.” “W-what?” “Finish your story,” I said, my tone like ice. “That wasn’t the end of it, was it? If it was, you would’ve never told me the truth or come crawling for my help. You wo

    Adele Four years ago I sat in the library, my eyes scanning the pages of my textbook, trying to focus despite the dull ache forming between my brows. “Let’s go out today. There’s a party at my boyfriend’s place,” Maya said, plopping down beside me with a grin. I sighed, barely looking up. “Another party? Didn’t you go to one yesterday?” Maya rolled her eyes. “So? We’re in college, Adele. This is the time to have fun. We’ll both become lawyers. Do you think we’ll have any time for parties after we graduate?” I turned the page in my book, ignoring the way she was practically bouncing in her seat. “That’s exactly why I’m not going. I need to study to become a lawyer.” “You’re so boring sometimes. Just one night won’t kill you. You are always studying.” I shook my head, waving her away. “Not happening. We have exams, and I got to keep my grades up for my scholarship. Unlike someone who comes from a rich family, I don't have the luxury to party around.” She huffed, cros
