Jason.Three weeks had passed and Eve was beginning to show signs of being pregnant.Although she was constantly nagging me to let her go out of the house. I couldn't.Atleast not without someone to follow her about.Max and Ethan haven't been frequenting the house together but on seperate days because Max claims the proposal was too boring and Ethan on the other hand is thinking of a better way to propose.As for me, I'm also thinking of better ways to propose.Why? Because Eve and I haven't had a proper wedding yet. We just jumped straight into marriage without dating or courting and in as much as I want to make it right by doing all the things I failed to do with her, I can't because of the lingering danger at hand.I'm scared that something might happen if I let my guard down.I know that it is wrong of me to think of tomorrow's answers instead of focusing on today.But I can't help it especially when I know that Eve's life and that of my unborn child might be in danger."Will y
Eve. Jason and I were on our way to Ethan's apartment from the park.I must admit, it does feel good to be outside after a long while of staying inside the house.We soon arrived at Max apartment and went upstairs taking the elevator.Ding dong ding.We rang the doorbell and Max was the one who opened the door."What are you guys doing here?" Max seemed surprised to see us."We came to say hello, since you're always coming to see me, I thought about returning the favor." I said and he laughed as he let us in."Favor my ass." He said and Jason smacked him."The baby can hear you know." Jason said and Max gave him an eye roll before sitting down on the couch."Where is Ethan?" I asked seeing as there was no sign of him at home."Probably at the cafe." Max said with a shrug."What do you mean probably?" I furrowed my brows."I.." Max was about to reply when the sound of Jason's phone ringing interrupted him."I have to pick this." Jason said apologetically before disappearing to pick th
Jason.Currently, I was on my way to the police station.I'm guessing that saying - there's a light at the end of a tunnel was true after all.Detective Dave called me earlier to tell me the good news.She said the forensics said that it would take a month or so to determine the state of the body found but I'm glad it didn't take that long.She called me earlier that they found something and that I should head to the station right now.I'm very glad she's involving me with the case. Well, there's no how she can't involve me in it when the chief and I are acquaintances.Since I didn't take my car to Max's place, I had to flag down a taxi to the station.We soon arrived and I paid for the fare before coming out and dashing into the station."Good afternoon." I said to the officer I saw standing by detective Dave's desk, I'm guessing that's her partner."Afternoon, and you are?" He said with raised brows and i chuckled before extending my arms for a handshake."I'm Jason Coleman." I sai
Jason.He had a smug look on his face despite the fact that he wasn't here as a witness nor as a victim but as an assailant and as a suspect.He was still smiling and it gave me the creeps.It was like I was staring face to face with a psychopath.Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they run a test on him and he's actually one."If it isn't the privileged son of a bitch." He said loudly to me and I groaned in annoyance."And if it isn't the entitled prick." I said not backing down from a fight."Fiesty, aren't we?" He laughed and i rolled my eyes in response.The police officers who were walking behind him pushed him and dragged him to the cell to lock him up."Can I talk to him?" I asked detective Dave and she nodded in response.They brought him out of the cell and took him to the dark room for investigation."Funny how we're meeting this way, don't you think?" I smirked and she chuckled."I won't be here for long." He said with all confidence and i laughed."No, you'll be here for lon
Alice.I was currently at the station for questioning.Apparently, that stupid Sophie ratted me out.I should have known it would come to this, after all, I'm the one who caused dwayne to die.If I didn't drag him back forcefully, he might still be alive.Now Mark is also in jail due to my carelessness.No!Due to his own stupidity, there are tons of guys he could have had sex with, why would he try to have sex with Dwayne forcefully.Ugh! It's all so complicated.But the good thing is that despite the fact that Sophie mentioned my name, there's no evidence that connects it to me.She was caught in the act which is why she's currently locked up but there's no evidence to prove that I actually asked her to do all that she did.Mark however, his DNA was found on Dwayne's fingernail because Dwayne must have scratched him on impulse so he can wiggle free from his hold so there's nothing I can do about that.Though, he'll simply be charged for rape but not for murder because the cause of D
Jason.I was with Eve when I recieved a call from Alice.I was sitting down on the chair while Eve was was laying in my embrace. At first, I wasn't going to pick up but knowing the reason behind her call would be none other than her delusions that I'm the cause of her misery, I picked up.After all, our destinies were already connected and can't be severed so it's best I accept it."Excuse me." I mumbled to Eve who was laying in my embrace."Where are you going to?" She groaned in annoyance."Sorry baby." I said quietly and she blushed and moved away so I could leave.I left and went far enough to the garden so she wouldn't hear my conversation with Alice."Hello?" I whispered."Let's meet." She said and hung up before I could say anything.What the!Soon, I recieved a text message from her indicating where we should meet up.I quickly went back into the house only to meet Eve standing there with a frown on her face."Where are you going to?" She asked still frowning."I need to get
Eve.It's been three months since that incident happened but everything was fine now. Infact, Everything was more than fine because right now we're all sitting down in a beautiful auditorium watching two grooms exchange their vows.Ethan's family. Turns out, his family aren't that bad like Max thought they were. When we spoke to them two weeks ago, they apologized for being complete douchebags to Max, well Ethan's mom to be more precise.Max's family. Well, not all, just his cousins and older sister. His brother and parent are still as homophobic as ever.Jade and Patricia.Detective Dave and her partner. I can't believe Jason invited them too.My brother - Isaiah.We're no longer in bad terms.My immediate family ofcourse- Mom and Grandma Nini.And ofcourse, the best man of the day - Jason.We were all present.After all, a very important person was getting married and despite all the difficulties that we had gone through, we're still together.Because together, we're stronger.Eth
Eve.Three months ago.The day of the incident.After Jason had left, I sat down in the living room still watching television. Max came afterwards to tell me about how Ethan finally made the best proposal to him but I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't pay attention, I couldn't help but feel like something bad was going to happen. And I was right."Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Max asked with a loud huff and I rolled my eyes.So dramatic!"I'm listening." I lied and he scoffed."Okay, what was the last thing I said?" He asked with a smirk on his face."You asked if I was listening to you." I said smirking back."You're so annoying!" He said shaking his head."I'm just bothered." I mumbled quietly."Bothered about what?" He asked and i sighed."Jason?" He asked and i nodded my head."He'll be fine, it's just a small conversation, nothing's going to happen." Max said assuringly and i managed a small smile on my face."Okay, tell me how Ethan confessed to you again." I sa
Grand finale.Eve.Two years later.A double life sentence with no parole for the murder of nineteen year old fudger, attempted murder on Jason and I. Plus twenty years blackmail for on Sophie and Mark and perjury. That was Alice's sentence.The news broke out few months after Jason and I got married and I couldn't help but feel bad for her. But she brought it upon herself.I even heard that she has become insane and was transfered to a special mental facility where she was under surveillance twenty four seven and now she's like a soulless body only living for the drugs injected in her body.I guess that's why they say - Do things that make you happy within the confines of the law.Mark on the other hand, died. Apparently, he was a drug addict and the drugs were already affecting his immune system and since he couldn't no longer take them in prison, his health deteriorated and he ended up kicking the bucket. I sighed heavily as I was lost in thought until I heard my name being call
Eve.Oh my fucking God!!There were white decorations everywhere and not to mention, it was filled people important people wearing purely white garb.Jason and I were the only one who stood out because we were wearing casual clothes.At the front, there was a priest and everyone I knew was there. Jason's Mom.Grandma Nini.Jade and Patricia.Max and Ethan?, They didn't even tell me they were back. Max and Ethan were spending some time with ethan's parent. Apparently, they were more accepting than Max's family. Even the twins, Declan and Damian weren't left out from the surprise wedding ceremony. Well, apart from my parents. I bet Jason knew inviting them would ruin this day.I wonder how they haven't changed from their bad ways all these while."Oh my goodness." I said turning to face Jason."What do you think?""Do you like it?" Jason asked and i almost squealed."Like it?, I love it!" I said in a half yell. Atleast not loud enough to draw attention to us. I remained gobsmacked a
Eve.Three months later.Mom and grandma Nini insisted on taking care of Declan and Damian while Jason and I go out for a date.According to her, we've not gone on a date for a while so now that the babies don't want their mother all the time, we can go out for a bit.Jason insisted that I put on a blindfold because it's a surprise and I had no choice but to do as he said.Not that I couldn't refuse but who would refuse a surprise anyways?"Where are we going?" I asked as I got into the car."Somewhere special." Jason said getting into the car as well and he began to drive to God knows where.It took a while but the car finally stopped and Jason helped me out of the car."Let me prepare you for what you're about to see." Jason said and i snorted. I could tell that we weren't in some hotel or big restaurant because of the air I could feel against my skin.And then Jason held my hands dragging me to where we were going to, with the blindfold still on my face."Are we there yet?" I mutte
Jason.After they sew eve's uterus and cleaned her up, she was transfered to a normal ward.And I went to see our babies in the incubator. The doctor said they'll have to be monitored for two weeks but for now, nothing was wrong and that it was only because they were born two weeks earlier than the scheduled time.I smiled as I watched my kids from the glass mirror with an overwhelming happiness in my heart. I didn't get to carry them yet, I wanted to wait for Eve to wake up before carrying them.It was definitely not because I thought I might drop them or hold them tighter than I should."You're now a father." I heard my mom say behind me and I smiled.I never thought having children would give me so much pride and joy but looking at them through the glasses made me realize that I was now a father, a father of two strong boys. And I promise to take care of them with all that I have. "Why didn't you tell Eve that they're twins?" She asked and i chuckled.I still remember when I fou
Eve.We were currently at the hospital and the contractions had not stopped. I was seated on a hospital bed and I focused on the television that was showing the news. I rubbed my stomach in a circular motion hoping that the pain would lessen but that proved futile.I was in a really foul mood. I don't know why.Maybe because everybody kept asking me how I was feeling or maybe because I wasn't feeling better. I don't know but I was angry. I wasn't angry at anybody and I wasn't angry at myself but I was angry."Darling,it would be dangerous if you delay the birth more." Mom said trying to convince me to transfer to the delivery room.For the past thirty minutes that we've been here, they've been trying to convince me to head to the delivery room but I refused because I was definitely not going to give birth without the presence of the father of my child. Plus, my water wasn't broken yet though the doctor did say that it was only a matter of time. "Mom, I'm not giving birth without Jaso
Eve.I groaned for the nth time today. Grandma Nini, Mom and Isaiah were trying to make me happy but I wore a frown on my face.Jason had to go for an impromptu work problem and I couldn't go with him because of my pregnancy.I mean, the reason I want to go is because I don't want to be away from him even if it's just a second and yet he flew across the sea for some work problem leaving his pregnant wife at home?What do you think about that?Isn't that annoying and irresponsible?And I don't even have anybody to rant to because Mom says I should be understanding while Grandma Nini is indifferent.Isaiah on the other hand won't stop talking about the celebrity he met at Max's wedding. I've always thought I didn't have enough time to talk to Isaiah because of our crazy parents but now I just want him to shut up.I've been calling Max for the past hour and he's not picking up. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think it's night in Paris so I really have no idea why he's not picking up.S
Max.Ethan and i were spending the second week of our honeymoon at Hawaii. I guess spending time in the Louvre didn't excite me as much as it excited Eve. It's not that I didn't enjoy my stay in Paris but maybe it was a bit too much? Or overated? I think what I actually wanted was to just spend the final week on relaxation and maybe take a road trip around the city tasting different Hawaiian food in the process. I bet that would be amazing. The hotel and resort that we were currently at was very beautiful and magnificent and I couldn't help but squeak in excitement once we were shown into our rooms. "This place is wonderful." I said excitedly to max who smiled in return. I bet he's just as excited as I am. Once we got to our room, I saw that there were rose petals on the bed and in the bathtub. I've seen stuffs like this in the movies and I must admit, it does look very romantic. I'm guessing it's there because of the reservation we made. After all, it's a honeymoon reservatio
Eve.I woke up with Jason hugging my back, his warm callous palms were inside my clothes and rested on my bulging belly.Yesterday had been so hectic because of the trial and all. "Jason, you're awake, aren't you?" I gasped once I felt his palms cup my swelling breast."Why did you wake up so early?" He questioned as he kissed my nape and i smiled because I had woken up to ease myself.He slowly massaged my sensitive breast while grinding his body against mine. "I want to pee." I whined preventing his hands from moving aggressively."Hmmm, okay, I'll come with you." Jason said as he let me go and helped me get up from the bed and we both went to the bathroom. I wasn't even surprised or embarrassed that he followed me to the bathroom because he has been doing this since that incident. That miraculous incident that healed his legs. At first I used to be embarrassed especially when he guards the door when I'm taking my bath but I soon got used to it and I understand that it's just hi
Eve.As I walked towards the front roll, just close enough so every single person in the room could hear what I had to say."You're just delusional, was it so hard to accept that he didn't love you?""All those years that you've been friends, not once did he ever look at you and not once did he ever put a label on your relationship but you went ahead with your delusional mind to conclude that he would one day love you?""I can't believe we're all gathered in court to deal with someone who couldn't keep her delusions in check." I said and the crowd hummed in response."Shut up!" "I can't believe Jason really fell your kind, you're not even pretty.""After all, your kind is known for being thieves." Alice said as a comeback but I wasn't even affected instead I was disgusted."It was only a matter of time before you brought race into this conversation, you talk about being civilized? You talk about being black?" I scoffed."Please..""Instead of talking about my skin color, maybe you s
