Eve's grandfather and Ethan's grandfather were about to play chess. The duo did not notice them even when they approached the table.

Eve shook her head, wondering about their obsession with chess. Because even during her wedding ceremony with Ethan, they didn't cease to compete there.

"Ah! Big Sis! It's Big Sis!"

The first person that noticed them was one of her sisters sitting across the table.

"Big Sis, is this really you? Am I dreaming?" Eve's other sister stood up and exclaimed. Her father stared at her in shock and her grandfather stood up.

"The heavens must have blessed me tonight. My favorite granddaughter is here, and I'm about to beat this Old Man." He wrapped Eve in a firm hug.

"Evelyn, you silly girl. Just because we sent you off to this boy doesn't mean that you can't visit us. It has been many months. Why haven't you come to see us yet?"

"Big Sis!" Her sisters left their chairs and came to her side.

"You look so different, Big Sis. Wow, you're so pretty."

    "What is going on?""Why are policemen here?""Is there a criminal amongst us?"The crowd started murmuring and the soft music quieted down. Cole stared at Eve, fists clenched and eyes flashing with anger. The policeman advanced towards her and her brows furrowed. "Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Nathan has put a charge against you. Can you follow us to the station?" One of the policemen held out the handcuffs in his hand and said. "A charge against me? For what?" Eve's frown deepened. It wasn't because of the beating she'd given him in the changing room at the boutique, right? "What is going on? What brings this imbecile here? This Young Master has been ransacking the whole city to find you. You dared come here and press charges against my Sister-in-law?" Matt hollered, flailing his hands in the air. More crowd gathered around and the whispers increased. "What business might Mrs. Anderson have with this Young Man?""He doesn't seem to be part of the social circle, but he doesn't look ordina

    "Well well well." The video stopped playing and someone stepped out of the crowd and clapped. The Young Man was tall. He looked to be just about Ethan's age. His lips quirked into a mischievous smile, and he whistled loudly. "What a great show you have pulled off," he said. "I didn't know this party would be so interesting. Thank heavens, I didn't miss the flight."The crowd's murmur quieted down as the new man stepped in front of Cole. "But believe me, Young Man. I was a bit disappointed. Even a bad scriptwriter would come up with something better. Did you think everyone in this hall is a fool?""What do you know, Mister? This isn't anyone's problem." Cole retorted. "This is between me and Mrs. Anderson.""Then wait until you are alone with Mrs. Anderson and her family before you take this kind of action. This is a cliched approach, Young Man. And every sensible person in this hall knows what you're aiming at.""Ethan. Do you know him?" Eve whispered to Ethan.But the slight frown

    "Ethan, wake up!" Eve sat on the bed, shaking the sleeping man who wouldn't budge. "Urgh! Ethan!" She whined. "Evelyn, stop it." Ethan groaned in his sleep. "What do you want?""You know what I want." Eve didn't stop shaking him. "Remember your promise to me last night. It's morning already, let's set out."Ethan opened his eyes, groaning. He reached for his phone on the bedside table and turned it on. "It's four in the morning. Go to sleep, Eve."Eve shook her head. How could she go to sleep? In fact, she'd been having sleepless nights for several days now. If she didn't take any action early, things might go out of hand. "Ethan."Ethan dropped his phone and turned his back to her, closing his eyes. "Ethan." Eve shook him again and called out. "Are you going back on your promise now? You said you will take me to the hospital this morning.""We have to set out early, Ethan. This way, you can also arrive at work on time when we're done at the hospital.""Eve!" Ethan sat up on the be

    Eve sprang to her feet, her chest hammering and her nerves tingling."G–Great news. What great news! Am I pregnant?" She clapped her hands and asked. "Please sit down, Mrs. Anderson." The OB-GYN sat on her chair and gestured for her to sit, smiling softly. "The good news is, you are a hundred percent healthy, Mrs. Anderson. There's nothing wrong with your system, and the chance of getting pregnant is also a hundred percent."Eve's hope had reached the sky, but now it plummeted down to the bottom of the deepest pit. "Ow." She lowered herself to the chair and fiddled with her fingers. "If I'm a hundred percent healthy, why aren't I pregnant yet?" She looked up and asked. "Please tell me, Doc. Is there something I'm doing wrong?" "You aren't doing anything wrong, Mrs. Anderson." The doctor chortled. "But I'll offer you some advice and prescribe some medication for you. They can help you accelerate the process." She picked up a pen and scribbled some notes on a piece of paper. "Do you

    Her body trembled and her knees buckled. Eve's feet stayed rooted on the spot. And whether it was the impact of the taxi or something else... The next moment, she was lifted high in the air before her knees hit the ground. "Ouch!" Eve whimpered and shut her eyes, waiting for the worse to happen. The sound of the car coming to a screeching halt made her open her eyes. And instead of the taxi, a tall figure towered over her. Eve's eyes followed the screeching sound. The taxi was a few feet from her. But despite this realization, her heart didn't stop beating wildly. "Are you alright, Young Lady?" The figure standing in front of her extended his hand toward her. People gathered around and stared down at her. "Is she alright?" "Thank heavens the car didn't hit her." "Drivers can be reckless nowadays. I wonder if he's drunk." "She looks so scared. Why is she wearing a mask?" Eve took the man's hand and he helped her to her feet. Somehow, he looked familiar. "It's okay, she'

    Gasps spread across the area and the employees left their cubicles. Jessie's expression fell and her lips parted. While Ethan looked at Eve as if she had grown two heads. "Mrs. Anderson." Jessie glanced at Ethan before staring Eve down. And she sounded confident when she said, "Mr. Anderson is my witness. Nothing is going on between us. We have made this clear the previous time, Mrs. Anderson, and you promised not to bother me anymore.""What is your problem, Evelyn?" Ethan flashed her a look of annoyance. "Mrs. Anderson." Jessie lifted her chin. "I beg you to please be lenient on me. I know you're not comfortable with me working with your husband, but I must let you know that I have been working with Mr. Anderson for many years. And in those years, I've been nothing but diligent and professional."The employees gathered around and murmured, but Ethan's glare at them made them run back into their cubicles. "You're thinking too far, Jessie." Eve smiled and dropped her hands. Steppin

    "Ah! Don't give me that look." Eve yelped and jumped down from his lap. "It– It isn't something serious, anyways." She laughed nervously and was about to walk away. "Come back." Ethan grabbed her hand and she fell back onto his lap. "Tell me how you sustained this injury, Eve. I want the truth."Eve grimaced and she cowered. She didn't like this look on his face. "A–Aren't you supposed to be all over me now, anxious and asking how I feel? Why do you look like you're going to skin me alive?""Tell me. Now!" Ethan snapped and she flinched. Would telling him be a great idea? What if he got madder? But Ethan was super mad as it is. She could swear he was at the brink of his anger. "Come on, Honey." She ran her hands on his necktie and slowly undid it. "I didn't even get hit by the taxi, someone came in time to save me.""A taxi?" Ethan caught her hands in his. "Yeah."

Eve hit her forehead on the steering wheel and it beeped loudly. Her heart wanted to fly out of her chest and even her hands were shaking. "Mrs. Anderson, can you please come out of the car?" Her instructor said. Eve had been waiting to hear that all day. She jumped out of the car and took in a long drag of the fresh air. Very refreshing. "Mrs. Anderson." The instructor dragged her attention. "It has been more than one week and you cannot even hold the steering wheel properly yet. If the idea of driving doesn't settle well with you, why don't I inform Mr. Anderson to find you a solution.""Are you looking down on me, Jonah?" Eve took her handbag from

  • The President's Daring Wife    Epilogue

    Not every family stuck with each other forever. But forever is like asking for never. They'd all had their ups and downs. The brothers quarreled, not once, not twice, and definitely not thrice. Yet, at the end of the day, they always came back together, standing strong as one family. As Eve lounged on a recliner, staring at the vast ocean ahead, her mind couldn't help but wander to a few years back. Ethan left the company for Wade, but only to manage the one in the other city, as that city was much closer to the island. Well, they frequented here, and often, the whole family gathered here for vacation. "Mummy, I want more." A tiny voice came from her lap and Eve looked down at the baby. She'd almost been convinced that he was sleeping. Her fingers ran through his hair and she removed the straw from her mouth and let him sip the coconut juice. "This is your last sip, Evan. You can't have too much coconut." "Uhuh." The boy nodded and took a sip, but he didn't let go of the stra

    "Eve, please c–calm down. Your babies must not be far," Elena tried to coax her as Eve sat on the bed the next morning, bawling her eyes out. Ethan had ransacked the whole hospital last night. They'd even alerted the authorities, and all the staff that worked in the nursery were investigated, but... Her babies were nowhere to be found, they were still missing. And the surveillance cameras caught nothing. Everywhere was dark. "Eve." The Stewardess rubbed her shoulders. "Please don't cry, it can affect your health. Even if that person is cruel enough to kidnap the babies, I don't think they'll have the heart to hurt them."Hurt her babies? Eve cried harder. "That is what I'm scared of, Elena. What if they harm my babies!?""Shhhh, it's okay." Elena hugged her and patted her back. "Don't cry, Eve. Let's keep praying. Nothing will happen to the babies, the Young Master is out there with the authorities searching for them." "M–My babies." Eve's lips trembled and she sniffed rapidly. "My

    Swapping her with another baby? Eve pulled away and stared at the woman in astonishment. "Mum, what did you just say?" "I'm horrible, right?" Her mother covered her face and sobbed. "I understand if you don't forgive me, Eve. I don't think I deserve it. I wasn't in my right mind, I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought..." She trailed off and kept on sobbing. Eve opened her mouth, but no words came out. The accidental swapping wasn't an accident? Her Mum did that? "M–Mum, why did you..." Eve held back her tears from falling, trying her best to control the sudden grief compounding her heart. "Mum..." "Please don't call me that. I feel bad when you call me by that name. After what I did..." "Do you really hate me?" Eve sniffed. "What did Dad do for you to hate me so much? What did he do for you to abandon me?" "I don't hate you now, Eve." Her mother shook her head and looked up. "I am just ashamed to come near you. I am ashamed to be close to you after what I did." Eve

    "Please endure it, Mrs. Anderson. We'll soon get to the delivery room."Eve couldn't register what happened next. All she knew was that she was being wheeled down a long hallway and the pain in her stomach kept expanding with each second. "Eve, please keep up with the pain. I know you can handle it." Ethan continuously stroked her hair while wiping her sweat with the other hand. "It's too painful, Ethan. I think I'm gonna die!" Eve cried. How could she handle this pain? It was the most agonizing experience she'd ever gone through. "You can do it, Eve. I believe in you." Ethan's reassuring words were accompanied by the fear in his voice. It took forever before they finally wheeled her into the labor room. Her gynecologist appeared and the staff lifted her on a bed. "Help me, please! I don't wanna die, Doc!" "You aren't going to die, Mrs. Anderson. It's a momentary pain. Luckily, you're already opened.""C–Can I start pushing?""Yes, please. You can start pushing.""Ahhhhh! I can'

    As if they were being chased out of the island, the private jet arrived that evening. No one carried anything with them, just their clothes and phones. When the plane descended on the helipad at the rooftop of the hospital, Ethan literally jumped out before it came to a complete stop. "Th–That was dangerous, Ethan!" Eve shouted amidst the blaring sound of the plane. The gynecologist helped her out and she held his hand. "Ethan, please calm down. Let's hope nothing bad happens." The man wasn't looking at her. His mind seemed to have wandered off, the same condition he'd been in since they left the island. Ethan brought out his phone and fiddled with it. Then he made a quick phone call before holding her tight and heading down the rooftop with her. "You can go home, Eve." "No, I must see Grandpa." Her heart was racing and her nerves were wracking inside. She couldn't just go home like a coward. And Ethan wasn't himself, she'd rather be with him. They appeared on the top floor

    But Ethan wasn't being too sensitive, he was just smarter than her to see the gynecologist's actions coming. As the weeks passed by, Sara's actions became bolder and more provocative. She'd even resorted to dressing in short dresses without shoulder straps. Sometimes, she'd even walk around the house in a tiny bikini, claiming she was going swimming. But even after returning from the pool, she'd take a long time before changing out of the bikini. And the worse thing was... She would use the pretense to speak about Eve's health in other to spend time with Ethan. Sometimes, they'd be discussing until midnight as she explained some difficult medical terminologies to him. "Eve, I know I'm not supposed to butt in, but you must take action before this girl snatches your husband." Elena came to her room one day and advised, and Eve found it hard to handle the bitter truth. "You also noticed it, Elena?" "Everyone notices it," Elena whispered. "Even the maids speak about it, Eve. S

    Eve made sure all the things they would need were set in place three days later. After bidding their families goodbye, they set off to the island in Ethan's private jet and arrived the next morning. "This house is very huge, Madam," Camila said as they toured the mansion."I can't believe we're going to live here until you put to bed.""Won't you miss the city life?" Eve's eyes wandered around the large living room. It was even more luxurious than the one back at the Villa. "Not at all, Madam. Compared to the noises and buzz of the city, this place can be considered a paradise.""Mmm. I also like it." Eve nodded and caressed her bump. "And I think my babies like it also." They didn't kick a lot today, unlike recently when they'd been nothing but active. "This is a generous gift from their great-grandfather. Of course, they'd like it, Madam." One of the maids looked at her stomach and smiled. "Where is Elena, by the way?" Eve's brows furrowed as she asked."She must be in the kitc

  • The President's Daring Wife    A Vacation

    Like the sand in an hourglass, the months slowly trickled by. While Ethan worked hard day and night to stabilize the company, Eve couldn't ward off the lingering fear that Wade was lurking in the shadows. Sometimes, she would forget he existed, and other times, the thought of his action and promise made her wake up with a start in the middle of the night. Such as this night. Eve reached for the glass of water on the bedside table. She took a sip of it, patting her chest to ease her frantic heartbeat. Her eyes squinted in the darkness and she turned on the bedside lamp then looked sideways at Ethan. "You're awake?" Ethan turned and opened his eyes. "Is it the nightmare, Eve?"Eve sighed and slowly nodded. "I told you to stop worrying about it. He can't do anything.""We're not sure, Ethan." Eve shifted and rested on his arm. "That man is dangerous, we must be wary of him.""He can't do anything," Ethan repeated, caressing her bump. "I'll make sure he never comes near you."Eve wasn

I'll take the matter into my hands and make sure you're dead!"As Mia charged toward her with a knife, Eve stood still, unable to react. But Ethan acted fast and knocked the knife out of her hand. "Ahhhhh! Leave me alone! Let me at her!" Mia screamed as two bodyguards hurried forward and seized her. "I said let me go! You are all bunch of fools and cowards, hiding behind the authorities! If you don't fear me, Evelyn, let's fight barehanded. I'll poke out your eyes and make you regret ever thinking of harming Cole.""This crazy girl. Why did you come here?"
