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
Eve.Soon, I was left alone in the room with Jason who was still very much unconscious.The detective in charge of the case had come to see him but he wasn't awake yet so she filled Mom and Max on the issue since I was in no position to listen to whatever she has to say.My eyes were red and sunken but I was still not crying.No tears had dropped from my eyes yet, I was determined to hold it back.Is this how Jason felt when I was unconscious?Helpless and heartbroken?If this was how he felt when I barely sustained any injuries on my body, how could I possibly explain how I'm feeling especially with this much damages to his beautiful skin.Oh my dearest Jason.I got up from where I sat and was about to open to the door to check on Max and Mom who were yet to come back into the ward.Plus, I have no idea where Grandma Nini is either.The police officer who was addressed as detective Dave was the one who was talking to Max.I wasn't planning to eavesdrop but they were right outside the
Eve."Should I call the doctor to check on you?" I asked but he held me back."Wait, there's something I want to tell you first." He said and I raised my brows."What's that?" I asked and he sighed."I really didn't want to tell you this way." He said and I got even more confused."What is it?" I asked again."I wanted to tell you this in the most beautiful way ever but it's now or never." He said and i sighed heavily."Just say what you have to say and stop beating about the bush." I urged him and he chuckled quietly.I helped him sit up on the bed by lifting the bed up which was done by pressing a simple button, specks of being a VIP."So what is it?" I asked and he smiled."I love you." He said and i smiled."I love you." I said and we both remained silent for a while as we both stared at each other with smiles on our faces until I broke the silence."Is that what you wanted to say?" I asked and he laughed."Whenever I see you, my heart goes ba dum.." he said making me laugh.Who t
Eve.We all sat down in the ward watching the news and eating some watermelons.Everyone was glad that Jason was conscious now and even the bandages were removed from his body. Only his legs were still bandaged and with casts. He was advised not to move around yet even though he was given a wheel chair.The doctor said that it woild be best for him to have full bed rest for about a week before he'll be allowed to use the wheelchair to go anywhere.As we watched the breaking news, we received news that Alice was apprehended by the police.And just like I predicted, she was going to stow away to the Philippines.Why do they always go there anyways?Real life or movies alike.I sighed heavily as Mom switched off the television in annoyance."I never liked that girl." She huffed in annoyance."Me neither." Grandma Nini said agreeing with her."I'm so glad you came into our lives Eve, I would have gotten a heart attack if Jason chose to marry that criminal instead." Mom said and shot Jaso
Alice."What's that supposed to mean?" I asked confused."I'm saying that it doesn't just applied to men but also to women too." She said as she got up from where she sat and slammed her hands on the table startling me and the others in the room. "Don't you think that women are suffering in the world already?, Why add to it?" She asked and i rolled my eyes in response.I really didn't need to be listening to someone I honestly didn't like lecture me and so I groaned in frustration."Just shut up already!" I yelled angrily.I still don't know how the police found me, I was going to stow away quietly to the Philippines and come back in a few years.This was the only help I was getting from my father.Despite the fact that he has always called me his favorite child, he didn't blink an eye the moment he knew that what Mark and I did would affect his company gravely and might even lead to bankruptcy judging from the fact that Jason's Tech was one of the most prominent companies in the wor
Eve."But having another woman plot against me just to ruin my happiness is even more painful than the patriarchy system." I said quietly and Alice shot me a look.I could tell from the way that she was looking at me that she wasn't expecting this last words I said.I wasn't expecting this either.I didn't think that I would go full angry mode like an activist trying to prove a point but I was utterly frustrated.And although the doctor told me to be careful not to get stressed since I was still in my first trimester and I could cause harm to my baby, I couldn't help but get angry at Alice.Knowing fully well that Jason was in the hospital and he might never get to properly walk again. She has done more damage that good to me already.I don't know why she hates me and even if I did know, the reason wasn't valid enough."As women, we're supposed to help each other out but you've don't everything in your ability to destroy my life and all for naught." I said and she scoffed."Help each
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
