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.

Eve's POVStanding on the altar dressed in an expensive wedding gown with your beloved husband is what most ladies wish for right? But mine was completely different.I never got the opportunity to wear an expensive wedding gown or at least a beloved husband by my side. I was standing next to the wrong man. A total stranger who did nothing but frown and glower.I wasn't wearing a white dress let alone an expensive wedding gown. I was dressed in a light red gown that my tailor made at the last minute. I didn't even get a flower bouquet, just a strand of flowers. "Do you, Eves Jameson, solemnly declare to take Jason Coleman as your lawfully wedded husband?”I stared straight at the officiant as he uttered those words I dreaded the most. I never imagined I would be getting married to a stranger I've barely known for a few days. I certainly don't accept James Coleman as my husband.I was silent for a few seconds. "Do you Eves Jameson solemnly declare to take Jame
Jack's POVAfter a few months of struggling to get a wife for the sake of my company, it was finally over! But I still found it hard to believe I'm finally married. I heaved a deep sigh before reaching for the duplicate of the marriage contract.I read through the marriage contract. I guess there were few things that needed amendment in the contract like the, “No sex rule.” I know the reason for our marriage is for an heir for the company but I don't love Eve and I will never think of having such an affair with her.I dropped the paper on my bed before laying down. I wondered how I'll face the clusterluck I had just created. I can't even hold a conversation with her. If not because of the shareholders, I wouldn't have been in such a mess.*Two months ago“Boss, are you ready? The shareholders are already waiting for you in the office.” Clinton said at the end of the phone.I stared at my wrist-watch. I was already late for the shareholders meeting."Get the c
Jack's POV"You heard me right. Marry me!” I retorted.The young lady kept staring at me. She was utterly speechless."Sir,I don’t think that’s right. I don’t even know you and this is our first meeting.” She said avoiding my gaze."Yeah, that is the only way you can pay back for this. The item you just broke costs about three million dollars. I bet you can never afford that.”“Three million dollars?!” She exclaimed.I nod my head.“I bet you can not afford that even if you work for two years.” I smirked.She clutched the tip of her gown tightly. She looked very nervous.“Is there no other option? I can’t marry you. I mean this is marriage, not a joke.” She lifted her head.I stared at her for a while. She was very determined not to accept my proposal but I knew something else that would work perfectly on her. Staring at her, I saw that everything she wore looked very cheap."You don’t want to marry me, right?” I smirked."Yes!” she replied in a cold voice.“Ok
Jack's POV I picked up my pen to draft out a few things that the marriage contract would contain.They include not interfering in each other’s personal life and also the “No sex rule,” and many other essential things.“Are you done now?” Clinton asked.“Yeah, make sure you get it ready before tomorrow. The wedding will be held tomorrow.”“Tomorrow?!” Clinton exclaimed.“Yeah, tomorrow.” I replied.I noticed that Clinton didn’t like the idea at all but I don’t care what he thinks as long as he keeps the process of my marriage a secret.We arrived at the place where Eve lives. The house was quite an old one. The ceilings and surroundings looked quite old.I stepped down from the car. Clinton led me into the house. Clinton had the gifts we bought for them in his hands.Clinton knocked on the door for a few seconds. An elderly man who happened to be Eve’s father opened the door.“Who are you?” Mr. Jameson asked."Uhm, this is Jason. The CEO of JASON TECH. We’re he
EVE’s P.O.VI felt my heartbeat increase as he held me in his arms. I quickly released myself from his grip and ran out of the bathroom. I headed to my room, quickly laying on the bed and covering my head in shame. I remembered the rules in our contract. We shouldn't have any physical contact, but we had already broken that rule on the first day. This was a bad sign. I shouldn't get close to him at all.A few minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" I wondered. I stood up from the bed and headed to the living room. Jameson had already opened the door for his grandmother, Grandma Nini. Our eyes met, and he had a furious look on his face as he glared at me. I hated it every time he stared at me that way."Ohh, who do we have here?" Grandma Nini smiled excitedly, giving me a hug."Grandma, you're welcome," I smiled as she hugged me tightly."Eve, go and make some food for her. You should have done that a long time ago!" Jameson glared at me."Is that how you talk
I sat down in the hall way as I thought about what had transpired in the last few days. I had gotten married to the man of people's dreams but not mine.Growing up, I've always pictured myself as someone like Merida from Brave. She stood up to her mother even if she had to turn her into a bear to prove her point on not getting married to a man she barely knew or even marriage in general. But ofcourse, I have nothing against my parents and definitely don't want to turn them into a bear or anything close to animals but I simply wished life wasn't this way.Unfair and painstakingly hard to the poor, growing up I never really pictured myself as Cinderella who gets saved by prince charming from her wicked step mother, I always wanted to be the savior, you know bringing us to bring us out of this sad and impoverished lifestyle and I did through Jason.I became Cinderella but I didn't find prince charming and now I still have to be a maid in my own home. I got up from the floor where I sat
We soon got to the hotel and checked into our room. It was a very big suite with about two rooms and the chandelier in the living room was very pretty but standing under it made me feel like it was going to fall so I made a mental note to avoid going through it and just go about it.As soon as we got to our suite, Jason changed into a black three piece suit and left. He didn't say anything to me, he just left without a word which was very rude but it's not like I expect anything from him. I just wish he could be a little polite and not act like a stuck up teenager all the time.Ding dong...I was admiring the living room when I heard the doorbell. I went up to the door and looked into the peek hole expecting to see an hotelier waiting to tell me about room service but I was surprised to see Jade at the door.I opened the door and stared at him in confusion."I bet you're wondering why I'm here." Jade began to explain."Well, yeah." I said quietly."Uhmm, so I'm actually an intern at J

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
