Eve's POV.I returned to the hotel suite after seeing Jason making out with his mistress. To be honest, it hurt to see him like that but it only showed that he doesn't respect me at all. The girl even said she was his girlfriend, if he had a girlfriend then why did he choose to marry me? Is it because I'm not up to the standards that society has made? Rich people can be so annoying sometimes. But i wasn't going to let myself be bothered. If I get affected by this now, I'll be losing and I don't want to lose. I may be young but I'm no pushover. I may be poor and slow like a snail but one great attribute of a snail is perseverance and I will stick to this until I conquer.Okay, maybe that's a little bit too much to say. Conquer? It's not a war.Jason's mom wants us to come home to stay with her and grandma Nini. She likes me and as Jada said; the key to a man's heart is through his mother.I don't know when I fell asleep on the couch but I woke up to the sound of the door opening and th
Jason's POV.Few hours ago.I returned to the hotel suite and did my victory dance as I walked inside. I was still dancing when I heard someone clear their throat. Turns out Eve was still awake and she sat down looking at me with me with wide eyes. I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment, no one had ever seen me this way and I always made sure to never show anyone my easy going side but here she was staring at me as if she could read into my soul."Why are you on the couch?" I snapped as soon as I regained my composure. We exchanged a few words and in the blink of an eye, she was inside the room.I couldn't help but wonder, was the gift too small? Did she want something else? Why did she reject the first gift I got for her and why am I bothered?I went into my room and sent recieved a text from my mom."You didn't even call to ask where I am, aren't you worried about your mother?" The text read and I couldn't help but smirk. I thought she was ready to disown me. But before I could
Alice.The sun was up in the sky and the weather was cool. A perfect day to go out but what happened two days ago was still bugging me and I couldn't help but worry.My older brother Mark had showed up into my house unannounced. He was always causing trouble for my parents but the last straw that led my family to disown him was what happened some time ago and I never saw him seen there. It's been a year and now he's back and he wants me to help him.And most of all, he knows about my secret visit to those thugs and my intention to hurt Jason's wife.FlashbackI saw the silhouette of a man in my house and when he got closer I knew who he was. Someone familiar. Someone I didn't expect to see. My brother."What are you doing here?" I asked in fear."I thought you'll be glad to see me." He smirked."And why the hell would I be glad to see you?,I thought you left the country." I said quietly."You see that's the problem, you always think." He smiled and i scoffed."Just tell me what you wa
Jason.."Jason, if you don't come out of that room in the next twenty minutes, I'm going to barge in there whether you're naked or not." Mom shouted as she knocked on my door repeatedly."I'm tired." I groaned."Yes, you're tired when it comes to going out with your wife but when it comes to work, you're never tired." She yelled still banging the door."Work is different." I mumbled."I can hear that you know.""First, you make her sleep in the guest room and then you don't ever want to go out with her, you know I'm leaving with Grandma Nini today, are you planning to make her feel lonely." Mom shouted."Alright, I'll get dressed." I shouted just so she would get out of my hair.I just have to give in to my mom or else, she'll never give up. I still wonder what Eve gave her that made her like her so much. Even grandma Nini is on her side.I groaned as I got up from the bed and went to take a shower. I had taken my bath earlier today but I went to the gym to work out and then I saw my
Jason.."Jason, are you there?" I heard Eve say from one of the stalls but I was too shook to answer her."Jason!" She yelled in pain and that was when I came to my senses."Okay, I've heard. Give me a minute, I'll be back soon." I said and left the bathroom at once."Get the ones with wings." I heard Eve say quietly but I was too stunned by her request to go back and ask what she meant."Eve ... How am I supposed to.. oh God.. this is so embarrassing.. my my ..." I mumbled as I went to look for a shop that sells women stuffs.Luckily, I found a pharmacy so I entered inside."Welcome, Feel free to look around." The person in charge said to me immediately she saw me. I nodded and walked around looking for what I was here to buy.I remember Eve vaguely saying she wanted the ones with wings and so I searched for what to buy. I finally found a stand that was filled with pads and as I was about to pick an always pad that I saw a man entered the stall shouting on top of his voice that he w
Eve.."So you're saying he did all that?" Max gasped."Yes, why would I lie about that?" I giggled."Girl, I think he's falling for you." Max laughed giving me a friendly tap on my arms."You're right, Jada's plan might be working." I smiled."Keep this up and this would no longer be a marriage of convenience." Max smiled too.We talked about other stuffs including the barista that max was dating now. Turns out, max was simply trying to make Jason jealous that was why he mentioned that his new boyfriend Ethan was coming because according to max 'a man can tell when another man is jealous.'I felt good about the situation anyways because it was good to recognized and all. I've never seen a guy get jealous because of me because I didn't really have much time so I mostly saw any guy I was seeing late in the night most of which none of them appreciated. Not that they were serious about me anyways, they were mostly struggling like I was but the attraction was there.I am not sure if this i
Jason..The sun shoned through the window blinding my eyes.Ugh.. I groaned. Just who left the windows opened and how many times have I warned those maids to not open my windows. I rolled to the other side of my bed only to feel something by my side. I put my hands there only to feel someone's body right beside me. I shot my eyes opened only to meet Alice with a disheveled hair on my bed.I tapped her harshly jolting her from her beauty sleep."What?" She snapped."I should be asking you that." I snapped back at her."What are you doing here?" I said in a half yell."What do you mean by that?" "We came home together last night." She said rubbing her eyes probably because she still felt sleepy."There's no we and this is not your home." I snapped."Jason, what's wrong with you?, It's too early!" She said in a loud voice."Exactly, it's too early. As long as I remember I've never asked you to come to my house. Ever!" I said angrily."Okay fine, you were drunk and so I brought you ho
Eve...I got off the floor where I sat and began to rampage through my wardrobe. I saw a box that I filled with clothes that Jason got for me before. It was too expensive so I hid them. Right now, I was in the mood to dress up nicely so I pulled the box out and picked out a cream saint Laurent dress. I opened another box and pulled out a black Dior heel and a small black purse with pearls around it.I put them on and then styled my hair in a bun and left a few strand fall while I used a cream broche to hold it so it won't free fall. I put on light make up and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked really expensive.Satisfied with my looks, I left the house and walked down to the busstop outside the estate before I flagged down a cab going to the location that my mom had sent to me on my phone earlier.We soon arrived and I alighted from the cab. I looked around taking in the exterior of the building. It was much more better than the dilapidated building that we used to live in befor
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
