Jason.."If Eve isn't with her best friend, then doesn't that mean that she's at home?" Jade said the moment we sat in the car after security had thrown us out of Max's store."Home?" I asked confused."Yes, her parents house." Jade said."That's brilliant Jade but will she be there?" I asked unsure."We'll have to go there to check." Jade said."You know their house, don't you?" He asked and i nodded.Inputting their address into the GPS, we drove to Eve family home.I pressed the intercom and waited for answer."Who is it?" I heard a voice ask."Jason.. Jason Coleman." I said and i heard the door clicked meaning it was opened.I removed my shoes and jade did the same then we entered into the living room with our socks."Mr Coleman, to what do we owe this pleasure?" Eve's mom asked greeting me."Oh, you can call me Jason." I said quietly and she seemed surprised by my humility.I wouldn't blame her though. The last time I came here, I waltzed into the house with authority and my shoe
Alice..I squeezed the bracelet that was in my hands in anger.This was a limited edition bracelet and guess where I found it.With Eve..It fell off her hands yesterday when she asked me to leave that book Cafe.I wanted to get this for months but I couldn't. I was told that the last piece which was bought by Jason tech which means Jason was the one who gave her this expensive bracelet but why would he?Why would he buy something so expensive for her?Does he have feelings for her?I quickly changed into something else, something more appropriate, something more seductive.I am going to visit Jason and this time, he'll be mine.I met Mark outside my door the moment I opened it."You left me there!" He said the moment I stood in front of him."Where?" I asked as I looked at him and continued going downstairs while he followed behind me.He looked like a mess with disheveled hair and... Is that drool I see on his chin?Yuck! Disgusting.."You left me at the bar." He said and i stopped
Eve..It's been six days since I left Jason's home and all I spent my entire day reading different books from different genres. All of them had a happy ending and it kinda made me a little jealous.I couldn't help but wish that it was me in the books.Only if my life was a fairytale then maybe I'll have a happy ending.I was still in my own bubble when I heard my phone ring.I thought it was max again and I was ready to lash out if he was calling to ask if I was alright but to my dismay, it was my mother.I didn't want to pick the call but I had to just in case it's an emergency.I picked the call after the third ring."Hello." I said mustering up the courage to talk back if she said something to annoy me again."Eve, how are you my dear?" She asked and i hissed."Get to the point." I said."Don't be so cranky, come home." She said in a loving voice, it made me sick."I'm not coming." I said immediately."It's about Jason." She said and i frowned.Jason? I scoffed. Are they now on fir
Jason..It's been four days since Alice told me about Eve's whereabouts which makes it ten days since she left home but due to work, I haven't been able to visit her.But today, I've cleared my schedule and I was ready to go an visit her.Today marks the day that everything changes and I hope it changes for the better.I hope it turns out well."You look nervous." Jade said to me and I nodded."That's because I am." I said quietly.We soon drove to Ethan's book cafe and I must say it was really brilliant.I should have known Eve would be here, the only person Max can ask help from to hide Eve would be his boyfriend, why didn't I think of that earlier?I entered the Cafe with jade behind me and walked up to the counter."Welcome to our book cafe, how may I help you today?" She asked looking down at what she was arranging as she hasn't noticed me yet."Eve." I called her name quietly which made her snapp her head up to look at me."Jason." She paled the moment she saw me. "What are you
Eve.."Eve.." Max's voice broke me from the trance I was in."Are you alright" he asked confused by the change in my mood."Never better." I said smiling as I ate my food in delight.We were currently at Ethan's and i could swear that he made the best cream of mushroom soup."It's just that you don't like mushroom soup." Max said and i scoffed."I like it right now, it taste amazing." I said in Glee and they both shared a look of confusion."What happened today?" I heard Max asked Ethan."Well, I went to restroom and when I got back, I found them talking." Ethan explained."And then that sly woman came in and started screaming which startled the customers and as I was about to ask them both to leave, you showed up." Ethan explained to max but he didn't seem like he was buying it."How did she get like this then?" Max asked and Ethan shook his head in response."He didn't divorce me." I said happily."He didn't?" They both looked shocked."Yes, it's all a misunderstanding." I said happ
Eve..For the past four days, I spent my free time waiting for Jason but he never came.Today makes it two weeks that I left the Jason's mansion and I was starting to believe what Max said before.Maybe he just wants to play me and see if he still has power over me.Maybe he was just trying to test me and see if I would still fall for him.I was still lost in thought when I heard people screaming outside.Oh my goodness, is zombie apocalypse already happening?Is the world coming to an end?I couldn't help but wonder as I walked towards the door and opened it to go outside but what I saw was no zombie apocalypse.Infact, people weren't screaming in fear but in awe.There were balloons everywhere and it looked like someone was going to do some kind of grand proposal. There was even a big speaker there too.But on the street?This person is surely an attention seeker.I turned to leave but the moment I heard my name through the microphone, I stopped in my track.I turned back to face th
Jason..The moment I saw Eve letting go of my hands and falling to the floor, my heart sunk and I felt the my world crumble."Eve!!!" I screamed her name and the crowd kept talking and yelling.Everybody was confused and everything was in shambles and chaos.This was supposed to be a great moment. My moment.I felt a tear slip down my face but I knew this wasn't the time to be crying. Especially not with Eve on the floor."Call an ambulance, Jade!" I yelled even when I could see him fumbling with his phone.I held Eve to myself as the confused crowd took pictures of us.I'm betting the next thing that would be on the news is - Girl faints from grand proposal. Or something similar perhaps.It wasn't up to five minutes that the ambulance arrived.They put Eve on the stretcher and asked me to follow them to the hospital.On my way to the hospital, I kept praying to God to just let her survive whatever this is.We just got to be together, I can't loose her now.When we got to the hospital
Jason..."She's simply under a lot of stress." The doctor said making me sigh in relief."So she's not dying?" Max asked the doctor making him laugh."She's not dying at all, she's just really stressed and given the fact she's malnourished as well, that acted as a factor in making her feel dizzy which resulted in her fainting, I'm surprised that she took this long time to come to the hospital." The doctor said shaking his head."After her IV drip, she can be discharged." The doctor said before leaving us with the good news.I felt so relieved.I thought she was dying or she had some kind of incurable disease."You should be glad that she's fine, if not." Max hissed.Ethan pulled him away whispering to him while jade walked up to me instead."I thought she was pregnant." I heard Jade mumble and i smiled.It would be nice if she was indeed pregnant but given the state of things, I want to be with Eve for a while before a baby comes.I went back to the room only to meet Eve already awake
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
