Eve..The breeze was blowing steadily making me feel cold under the duvet especially since I was still naked under it.Still closing my eyes, I touched the other side of the bed and I couldn't feel the warmth there anymore. I rolled to the other side of the bed and truely, he wasn't there anymore.I opened my eyes and sprang up from the bed.I looked around notice the windows were opened. I must have forgotten to close them again.I sighed heavily as I tried to stand up from the bed but I fell back due to the pain in my v region.How could he just leave like that?No good morning?No words exchanged?How could he?I fell tears pool to my eyes and I wiped down the one that threatened to roll down my face.No! I won't cry again.I won't just stay still.I thought we both wanted this?I need an explanation.I forced myself out of bed and closed the window before removing the duvet, bed sheets and pillow cases and changing them to a new one - sky blue with a hint of baby pink. I took a wa
Jason..We sat in the dim room face to face and a staring competition was ongoing.Nobody wanted to lose. I was staring at him sternly to see if he would falter but he just had a crazy look in his eyes. One I had never seen before."Why did you do it?" I asked breaking eye contact as I looked away."Who put you up to it?" I asked again slamming my hands on the table that demarcated us.He snickered making me even angrier."You should focus more on the what than the why or the who." He said after a short pause."What do you mean by that?" I asked confused."You're too focused on why I did it or who made me do it, you're forgetting to ask the most crucial question." He said and paused giving me suspense."What did you do to deserve this?" He said laughing."Clinton." I called his name making him stop laughing."What happened to you?""You weren't like this before." I said concerned and confused at the same time."I was always like this, crooked on the edges and barely hanging on." He sa
Jason..Detective Dave noticed the look of anxiety on my face and she clapped her hands together to get my attention."We'll make sure to do that sir, My team have gone to Mr Seo's hideout and we'll get back to you on it." She said extending her hands for a handshake again. This time I shook it and turned to leave immediately after.I had matters to attend to."Sir." Jade who had been standing outside the door called me."Yes?" I answered."Miss Patricia called, she said Mr Flynn is in Florida." He said looking confused. But I understood the messages after all, I was the one who asked her to look into Mr Flynn.Mr Flynn is the owner of F-motors which is my next bet after MI mobility. With what's going on now, we can't continue the collaboration with MI mobility again which leaves me with F- motors as my next option which is why I asked Patricia to look into it."How long did she say he'll be there for?" I asked."She said he's booked a flight for tomorrow which means he'll be there f
Eve..Since we weren't that far from Max's store, we walked back to the store instead of taking a cab like I insisted.Max insisted that walking is good for the body and so I had no choice but to follow him because whenever Max throws a tantrum, I'm left with no options.We walked until we got there and then we saw a courier coming out of the office."Looks like someone got a package." I teased Max who walked faster to the office to meet the courier who seemed to waiting for what I assumed to be the signature of the recipient."I'm the one you're waiting for." Max said the moment he stood in front of the courier."You're the one I'm waiting for?" The courier seems to be startled."Yes,didn't you just drop off something for me?" Max asked confused by his attitude."You're Mrs Coleman?" The courier asked drawing my attention."I was told she was a woman." The courier seems to mumble to himself."That would be me." I said stepping forward so he could see me."Mrs Coleman, I was asked to
Jason..We arrived at the hotel and went into our seperate rooms. I needed some rest after all from all jade's blabbering.I took a warm bath and got changed into something more comfortable.I kept trying Eve's line but she wasn't picking up.I dialed Grandma Nini's number instead and she picked up after the third ring."This is the third time you're calling me today,what's going on?" She snapped."Grandma, is Eve home?" I asked."I thought I told you she's not home yet!" She snapped."It's urgent." I said quietly knowing her temper."Urgent?" She asked."Yes, there's something I want to tell her, could you try her number and get back to me?" I pleaded."Uhmm.." she seemed to be thinking about it."Okay, I'll call her." She said atlas making me sigh in relief."Thankyou." I said."Thankyou so much!" I said feeling extremely grateful."Hmm, you're thanking me?" "That's new." She said making me smile."You're about to witness a lot of new things from now on." I said before hanging up.
Jason.."W-who are you?" Mr Flynn stuttered."I'm Jason Coleman." I said pulling out my business card and giving it to him."Jason tech?" He said reading the business card."That tech company in the news?" He said making me nod."What do you want from me?" He asked."Nothing much." I said chuckling.Anyone watching would probably think I was hear to strike some kind of deal especially with jade standing at my back like some kind of bodyguard but I already swore to change my ways. I can't go back to doing bad things few hours after I swore not to do them."I want to propose a collaboration with your company - Fmotors." I said quietly."My company?" He laughed."You want me to work with a company that's about to go under?" He laughed."It's not going under, all that is a big misunderstanding which must have been cleared up by now." I said."Cleared up?" He asked."Yes, it was just fake news, it was done by a malicious person who wants my company to crumble but one's year of hardwork can
Eve...I had stopped crying for a while and I was just quiet now. Jason tried to call me before but I didn't pick up. I just watched it ring until it cut.I couldn't take it.He still had the gots to call me?What did he want to say?Did I get the divorce agreement?Have I signed it?"Eve.." "Eve.." Max's voice jolted me from my reverie."What are you going to do now?" Max asked and i shot him a look."What can I possibly do?" I thought as I looked away instead of answering his questions."How about you go home and get some rest?" He suggested and i felt tears pull to my eyes."Home?" I mumbled."What home?" I snapped as the tears started to pour from my eyes a second time."What home max?, My parents home?, Jason's home?" I asked."Eve, I know I said a lot of stuffs earlier but what if this is all a big misunderstanding?" Max said making me scoff."A big misunderstanding?" I chuckled."How?""Is it some kind of test?" I said doubtfully."Eve, try to be positive." Max said."Max, I g
Eve.."I'm leaving." I said making them look at me with wide eyes."Leaving?" Mia asked confused."Yes, I'm leaving." I repeated."Why?" Mia asked."To where?" Grandma Nini asked.They both seemed startled and confused."Why are you leaving?" Mia asked."Did Jason ask you to leave?" Grandma Nini asked."No." I shook my head as I brought out the divorce agreement from the file in my bag."We're no longer married." I said."What does that mean?" Mia asked confused."Jason divorced me which means I have no right to stay here anymore." I said quietly as I felt a lump in my throat and my eyes swelled with tears but I fought it."J-jason divorced you?" Mia said surprised."Yes." I said in a monotone."That's impossible." Grandma Nini said."It's not." Max said taking the paper from my hands and putting it on the table for them to see."That's his official stamp." Max said pointing at the place where Jason's stamp was."That's impossible." Mia said like she wasn't seeing the stamp on it almo
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
