**Eve's POV**After the doctor left, I convinced Daniel that he didn't need to stay the night. I was safe now, and I didn't want to inconvenience him given that he had work the next day. From the look on his face, I could tell that he was deeply worried about me, but he said nothing regarding the news the doctor had just delivered. He told me he would be here first thing in the morning to see me, although i told him he didn't need to trouble himself, but he insisted.Once he was gone, I was finally able to process what the doctor had said. I was pregnant. With Morgan's child. I thought we had taken enough precautions when we slept together, but apparently, we hadn't been careful enough. Was it that morning we ditched protection?Whatever had happened, it didn't matter. I ended up pregnant anyway, and that was what I needed to think about. Whenever I had thought of having my own family, I had imagined a home with a loving husband and happy kids. I wanted my kids to have the parental lo

CINDY'S POVWhen Eve left her hospital room accompanied by Daniel, I appeared from behind the corner I was hiding in. I watched the backs of the two as they left, unaware that I had been at the door while they talked, and I had heard everything. Eve was pregnant with Morgan's child? I clenched my teeth and huffed. I was going to do everything I could to make sure that my adoptive sister left the city as soon as she could. Before Morgan woke up, and before Eve found out Morgan was actually Sylvester Edwards.I wasn't going to let her win this time. I was the one who was supposed to marry Morgan in the first place. And now that I knew his real worth, I wasn't going to let my stupid adoptive sister keep him. If Morgan woke up and found out about the baby...I shook my head. That couldn't happen.

**EVE'S POV** I thought I knew what heartbreak felt like. But even when I caught my ex in bed with my sister, it hadn't hurt this way. Not even close. All of a sudden, sitting at the kitchen table with my shoulders drooped and my sobbing face in my hands, I realized the true extent of my feelings for Morgan. All along, I had held my feelings for him back because I knew I was lying to him. I hadn't allowed myself to take a moment to feel their depth. Now, they hit me like a tornado. I was in love with my pretend husband. But it didn't matter, because I had lost him. I had known from the beginning he didn't belong to me. I had known a day would come when my deception would come between us. And, I had known I would hate hurting him. But I hadn't thought I would be left with a broken heart. I squeezed my eyes shut as an image of the photo Cindy had sent me shuttled through my mind's eye. I couldn't stand it. I couldn't bear the thought of seeing him with her. The one man who had show

MORGAN'S POVI spent the next two days in the hospital and left on Monday. They were the longest two days of my life, and only Dickson giving me multiple updates per day about Eve's whereabouts kept me from saying damn it all and leaving against the doctor's advice.I left the hospital in Dickson's company, with Henry driving us. It was only a few minutes' ride to the company, but it felt like it was taking forever. I looked at my watch. It was twenty minutes to nine o'clock. I knew for a fact that Eve was already at work because Dickson had her department director report to him the moment she showed up.I exhaled heavily. I couldn't wait to see her face... hear her voice... hold her...If she would let me.I tapped my fingers on my thigh rapidly. The memory of that day at the hospital flashed through my mind. How she had run away from me, and the accusations her sister had made. The fingers on my lap curled into a fist. I refused to believe it. My sweet Eve would never... I exhaled

**MORGAN'S POV**I brushed Daniel's hand off my shoulder, irritated. "Is that any of your business?""It is," Daniel said, getting in my face. "If you've come to cause trouble at her work."I narrowed my eyes. What did this man know? He had been civil enough during that dinner. Why did he look ready to give me a beating?"If you must know," I told him flatly, "I'm here to get my wife. Why, do you have a problem with that?"Daniel pointed a finger in my face. "You'll not get anywhere near her."Dickson stepped towards Daniel and pulled him back, about to warn him to watch his mouth if he still wanted to keep his job.Daniel beat him to it. "Do you know this asshole, Dickson?""Shut up, idiot!" Dickson seethed, standing directly between the two of us. "What do you think you are doing?"Daniel indicated me. "Call security to throw this man out.""Why would he do that?" I asked, stepping closer and putting a hand on Dickson's shoulder to push him aside."She ran away from you so you

EVE'S POVI couldn't stop my body from trembling as I hurried to the elevator and pressed the call button. What was he doing here? Why had he come to look for me at my work? He was already with Cindy. Was that not enough to get back at me for lying?Morgan walked past me and pressed the call button for the executive elevator."We can't use that one," I told him."We can," he said as the doors opened. He reached for my arm, wrapped his fingers firmly around me, and pulled me into the elevator with him. He pressed the button for the executive floor."What are you doing?" I asked, attempting to free my arm from his grip."We'll talk in my office," he said, setting a steely gaze on the closed doors."Office? What are you talking about?"A small part of me was convinced I was dreaming. Or hallucinating. None of this made any sense. I knew Morgan was bold, but this was pushing it. He couldn't just come to my company and do whatever he wished.He looked down at me, one brow dipped. "I guess

EVE'S POVI frowned. "What was the point of the arrangement, then?" Morgan replied. "It was your adoptive parents who wanted a share of the Carusos wealth, fame, and glory. The pact was their condition to an old business deal. If they had really wanted to cancel it, I would have obliged them in a second.""But they were afraid of your wrath. They acted like there was no way out of the arrangement. Besides Sandra's issue, that's why I agreed... they had adopted me and taken care of me. If I could do that one thing for them." I trailed off and sighed."Then, it appears that your adoptive father was determined to marry one of his daughters into the Carusos' family, come what may. You happened to be the ideal backup when their eldest claimed to be pregnant."I immediately shook my head. "No, my... Jeffery would never do that. He... in that household, he was the only one who treated me decently.""Are you sure he wouldn't? I'm assuming he is the only one who knows the true nature of the

**EVE’S POV**I swallowed nervously, my heart pounding as I took a step back. "We….""We?" Morgan's gaze hardened. "Are you two a couple now?""Let me explain," I said, lifting a hand to slow him down. "I left the apartment that night. I didn't know there was a storm coming, and that the bus services had been suspended. He saw me at the bus stop."Morgan arched an eyebrow. "And?""He took me to his house—""His house?" Morgan cut me off again, pacing with a tense jaw. "I knew it. That shameless jerk…" He suddenly turned towards the door. "I’ll finish what he started right now."I rushed after him, grabbing his arm before he could reach the door. "I’m not done yet.""Do I need to hear anything else? If you’ve been living with that man—""I only stayed for one night," I told him hurriedly. "I didn't have time to find somewhere else because of the storm. I stayed just that night, in his guest room. The next day, I found a room in Hillside. That's where I’ve been staying.""His guest
