Alice..I waited restlessly in the car for Mark and the mole I planted at Jason's residence to come.I saw them approaching the car and I got down from the car and waited for them to get closer."So did she die?" I asked the moment I saw them."Die?" Mark scoffed."Do you think it's easy to have someone killed?" Mark hissed and got into the car."Why are you so cranky?" I hissed as well and turned to face my mole."You tell me, did she die?" I asked but she didn't say anything and simply looked down."Sophie!!" I yelled in anger."Speak up when I talk to you, did she die?" I asked once more in a cold voice making her shiver in fear."No." She answered fearfully and I slapped her in rage and she winced in pain."Why?" I asked angrily."Get in the car Alice, let's talk somewhere else." Mark said igniting the engine already seeing as I couldn't drive with the surge of anger in me."Get in the car as well." I yelled at her and she did as she was told.We drove away from the back of the ho
Jason.."You have two meetings left sir." Patricia said as she dropped another set of documents on my table."What is the finance department doing?" I asked in annoyance."Why haven't the CFO come to see me yet?" I asked again.All I want is just to see Eve, I miss her so much but this people just won't spare me a minute. I haven't even had time to call her since morning. I badly want to ask about her health since she's been acting all weird for a while."Sir, it's..." Patricia was about to answer me when the door to my office bursted open with jade running inside like all hell has been let loose."Jade, I'm busy." I said the moment I saw him but the look on his face said otherwise."Jason.." he said quietly and i knew something was wrong.I told him to call me by my name when we're both alone and not at work but if he's calling me my name at work with that kind of expression that means something has to be wrong."What is..." I was going to ask what was going on but my ringing phone c
Jason..I was overjoyed. It was really surprising. I don't know anything about pregnancy but I did suspect that Eve might be pregnant.Aftter all, I came in her twice. I'm gonna be a father!I'm so happy."The bad news is.." the doctor's voice jolted me from my reverie."We don't know when she'll wake up and we don't know how bad it will be when she wakes up." The doctor dropped the bomb."What do you mean by you don't know when she's wake up?" I asked confused."The patient, your wife is in a coma." The doctor said and my face fell."No, that's not true right doc?" I said with a broken voice."I mean people only fall into coma when they've been hit by trucks or when they get into serious accidents." "She fell down the stairs." I said quietly."What matters is not the manner at which she got injured, what matters is the impact of the fall." The doctor explained quietly."She could wake up in months, weeks or even a few days." The doctor said but I felt even worse."But will she wake
Jason..We all sat down on the chairs placed in front of the ward.I couldn't bring myself to go inside and face her.I felt like a failure.All sorts of things were running through my head.If I had brought Eve earlier to the hospital and we find out that she's pregnant, how would she have reacted to it?Would she be happy to be carrying my child or is it too early for us to have a child together?We would have gone for ultrasound and scan to check the baby and the OB-GYN would say something like - your baby is currently the size of a gummy bear and we would laugh about it.We could even come up with a foetus name and then we'll host a party to announce to the world that we're going to be parents.And then in a few months, we'll do a gender reveal party and then later on, we'll welcome our baby to the world but now that all these has happened, I'm not sure what the future holds for us.For me...What does the future hold for me when Eve is my future?Earlier, when I asked the doctor
Jason.I sat down helplessly in front of Eve's ward. I couldn't bring myself to go in.After returning from the emergency exit and sobbing for the nth time, there was nothing else to do than to sit and get lost in thoughts.I couldn't think about anything. My head was blank and my eyes looked soulless."I think you should all go home and get some rest." My mom said as she got up from where she also sat and turned to face us all.I simply glanced at her before looking elsewhere."Jason.." she called but I ignored her."Jason!" She yelled in a loud voice that caused me to wince before I turned to face her."What?" I snapped."Don't go all 'what' with me!" She snapped back. Then she sighed heavily and looked at me pitifully."You need to go home and get some rest." She said in a calm voice."All of you." She said pointing at everyone who was seated there."I'm not leaving this place." I managed to say."You have to leave this place, go home and take a bath." She said in concern but I sim
Jason..We took the elevator and went straight to the parking lot only to meet grandma Nini already standing there and waiting for us."I almost though this wasn't your car anymore." She said the moment we got there."Why didn't you just wait for us?" I rolled my eyes."What's the use?" She scoffed and I sighed deeply."We could have gone together" I mumbled but not loud enough for her to hear me. I don't have the strength for a lecture tonight. We both got into the car alongside jade who ignited the engine and began to drive out of the hospital parking lot.The ride home was a quiet one.Alot of things were on my mind but It wasn't something I could say.No one said anything.I mean there is nothing to say anyways.What could we possibly say?Would we try to console each other? That's just absurd because no amount of consolation can make me better right now.When we arrived, Grandma Nini disappeared into her room while Jade escorted me upstairs to mine.I looked back confused as to w
Max.I couldn't sleep a wink all night. And so, Once it was seven in the morning, I got up,took my bath and got dressed before waking Ethan up.He was really tired especially since we stayed in the hospital until it was really late yesterday night."Baby.." I called quietly and he hummed in response."I'm going to the hospital." I whispered quietly."This early?" He asked groggily."Yup, I'm worried about Eve." I said and sighed heavily.He opened his eyes and sat up on the bed."Should I drive you to the hospital?" He asked rubbing his eyes."No, you don't have to, you can't just close your cafe." I said quietly."I.." he tried to say but I shushed him."Baby, I love you and I want what's best for you, I don't want you to close down your cafe just because of me." I said."I'm not doing it because of you, Eve is my friend too. We might have met because of you but she's my friend and my employee." Ethan said as a matter of fact."Okay fine but you have to go to the cafe and put up a s
Max.He stood in front of me and I glared at him not even bothered by his gaze on me."Gay boy?" I scoffed."Obviously, you must have mistaken me for someone who gives a damn about what you call me!" I yelled angrily."What's going on here!" I heard someone shout and i knew it was Jason right away but I didn't even pay him any attention and I continued what I was saying."I've met tons of idiots like you when I came out years ago so meeting another one won't change a thing." I said angrily."W-wha.." eve's father tried to talk but I cut him off immediately."Look, i don't care if you're homophobic or whatever. That's your own problem and you can't do shit to me." I said angrily."Look here, you gay piece of shit!" He yelled angrily and i smirked."What's going on here for God sake!" Jason yelled again and that's when we all kept mute. And then he walked towards us and stood at the sidelines while eve's father and I were still facing each other."Jason right, I'm glad you're here, this
