Jason.It's been two weeks since Eve fell into a coma and it's been a few days since I got two bodyguards to guard eve's ward.I don't want any weird thing to happen so I'm being cautious. The only people who are allowed to go into the ward besides family would be the doctors or nurses.Mom asked why I put bodyguards but I didn't have any reason I could give her so I said we can't all be here all the time and what if someone needs to get something outside or so. In short, I made up something believable."Are you ready to leave?" Jade asked once he came into my office.I was currently at work preparing to leave for a meeting before I can go to the hospital to see Eve. "It's last meeting for the day right?" I asked and he nodded in response."Okay, let's go then." I said getting up from my swivel chair and following jade out.We got into the elevator and pressed the button to the underground parking lot."You didn't get to tell me everything that day." Jade said since we were alone."I
Jason..While they left to catch the said nurse, I walked to the room in anxiety.What if I heard wrong?What if that wasn't Eve?All kinds of thoughts ran through my mind but I still mustered courage to walk to the room.The moment I opened the door and saw her looking at me with a pained expression on her face, I knew something was wrong."Eve?" I called out but she was already closing her eyes."Eve!" I yelled running to the bed and pressing the button to call the doctor.In a few seconds, the doctor ran to the room and gave her a shot of something else which kept her stable."What's going on doctor?" I asked in concern."She is lucky, if you had called me a little late, she might have lost the baby or even her life." The doctor said sighing heavily."So is she.. is s-she back in to a coma?" I asked carefully."No, not at all, she's not in a coma, she's just unconscious due to the shot I gave her." The doctor explained and i released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I felt a t
Jason.."Sophie." I said quietly that it almost came out as a whisper."Jason." She said still smirking."Now that I no longer work for you, I suppose I don't have to keep using honorifics." She said with a smug smile on her face and i scoffed."You're right." I nodded in response."I feel suffocated breathing the same air as you, so I'll keep it simple." I said quietly."Why did you do it?" I asked and she shrugged in response."Who put you up to it?" I asked and she still didn't budge."Are you pleading the fifth?" I scoffed and she giggled."You do know that you were caught in the act so there's no way, you're getting out of this place, ever!" I said sternly so she would understand but she still didn't budge."Did someone pay you to do?" I asked but she still didn't say anything.I sighed heavily.She's not going to answer huh?Okay, we'll do this the hard way then."I looked into your family when you first came around." I said quietly and she raised her brows in confusion."You us
Jason..We drove back to the hospital only to meet everyone crying with no sign of Eve in the room."What's going on?" I asked in fear.What happened while I was gone?Did something bad happen?Perhaps, Eve died and no one cared to call me?Heyyyyy.. that's impossible.That couldn't have happened, right?"What's going on?" I asked again seeing as no one was replying me."Eve is awake!" Mom said still crying."Then where is she?" I asked confused by their odd behaviors."She went for a walk with Max." Mom said and i raised my brows."Then why are you crying?" I asked."All of you." I said pointing at the Ethan and grandma Nini who were still crying."We're happy." Ethan said amidst his tears and i almost smacked him."So these are happy tears?" I asked still confused."Yeah." Grandma Nini said."You guys were crying like you lost someone, that's scary, for a moment, I thought Eve went to the stars." Jade said and i laughed."Went to the stars." I mumbled."That's so superstitious." I s
Alice...The sound of shattering glasses echoed in the empty hall.Only the sound of something being smashed and my hard breathing could be heard.That something being smashed is my car and I'm currently releasing my wrath on it while Mark watched from the sidelines.We were currently at an abandoned warehouse. Mark drove us here the moment we saw Sophie getting arrested by the police and I just needed to release the anger I felt in my body. I continued to smash the glasses and every part of my car until it looked nothing like it used to."Are you done?" Mark asked once I dropped the iron baton I was using to smash it.I shot him a look and hissed loudly."Do you feel good about smashing your car?" Mark asked with a sneer."Shutup!" I snapped but he chuckled in response.He seemed to be enjoying my rage."Why are you so pissed?" He asked with a look on innocence on his face.Is he really asking me that question?"Am I not allowed to be pissed anymore?" I asked angrily but he laughed
Eve.Jason had to go home to get a change of clothes along with Mom and Grandma Nini, Jade wanted to go home and get some rest since he hasn't done that in a while but I know he just wants to go on a date with Patricia, I'm sure he hasn't been able to, given that Jason must have been in a foul mood while I was in coma.Ethan on the other hand, had to go to the shop to close up.Apparently, he got a part timer when I fell into a coma. The day he went to close the shop down indefinitely, someone came to apply and since he was really in need of a part timer, he accepted the person.I'm eager to find out who that person is anyways. I just hope they don't make better strawberry shortcake than me.Although, Jason is strongly against me going to work especially in my state.I can't believe I'm going to be a mother. Oh my goodness!I'm going to be a mother.I can't wait to tell everyone.I bet they'll all be so happy for me.I just can't wait.I smiled at the thought of me taking care of my
Jason.I hurried out of the house just so I could back to the hospital in time. Since Mom and Grandma Nini wouldn't need to go back to the hospital that means Eve and I could get a chance to talk about our baby without having to whisper.I heard giving babies nicknames before they're born actually makes them healthy and they easily recognize your voice as they're in the womb. We have not gone to see an OB-GYN yet but we'll do that after we get discharged from the hospital. But for now, I need to get to the hospital fast. I'm excited to be alone with Eve even if it's not in the comfort of our home.I drove straight to the hospital and got out of the car. Once I entered into the hospital, I saw Max walking out on the other side but he was too far away to hear me and it wouldn't be wise to call out his name loudly so I didn't. Instead I went and took the elevator to the second floor where the ward is.I got out of the elevator and turned to the left to go to the room but I could hear l
Jason.After Max left, we talked about tons of other things and I helped her sit up since she said she was uncomfortable lying down.One of the things we talked about included arguing about what nickname we should give our baby."What about gummy bear?" Eve asked and I laughed."What?, It's cute." She said frowning."How about lollipop?" I teased and she smacked me playfully."Babies are usually the size of a gummy bear when it's within the first trimester which is why gummy bear would be the best nickname for our baby." Eve explained and i nodded but I still wasn't sold."What about Real?" I asked and she raised her brows."Real?" She mumbled with confusion."Yeah, after all, I still can't believe this is real." I said laughing and she shook her head in annoyance."Can't you be serious for once?" She said frowning."No, but I can be real." I teased and she smiled."You're hopeless." She said still smiling."But seriously, they used it in one kdrama I saw last week." I mumbled with a
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
