EVE'S POV I worried her lip with my teeth when the client replied right away, asking that I stop working on the design. Does he no longer want it? Or does he want to put an end to our partnership? Or maybe he does not appreciate me asking for an extension. Some clients were very strict about deadlines and could cancel an entire project if they were delayed even for a little.Considering that, I sent him another email, hoping he would change his mind. In the second email, I told him that I would do her best to finish it in time. Even if I had to give up sleep, I was going to get it done.I didn't want to lose such a client, I mean the chances of finding another one who could pay anything close to fifty thousand dollars for a single design were pretty low. Besides the money, I was given on building a good reputation. Good feedback from clients was very crucial for my career. If I became known for tardiness, it would become hard to get new clients. I also really liked the client, like

MORGANA'S POVI was in the master bedroom with my husband when Eve showed up at the front door. The master bedroom was on the first floor, facing the front of the house. It had a balcony on which if we stood, we would have a clear view of Eve at the door.When the servant turned Eve away, I had thought she would go away. I was determined to ignore her and even have the servants lock her out of the house. But when she threatened to tell Morgan Caruso the truth about their marriage, I froze with fear.She wouldn't really do that, would she? If the Caruso's found out that we had deceived them, there would be consequences."How dare she?" I muttered, pacing beside the king sized bed in the room. "We rescued her from that dirty orphanage and gave her a decent upbringing, and a family she could only have ever dreamed of. How dare she threaten to reveal the truth about Cindy?","We promised her", Jeffery pointed out. "Do not forget that she did us a favour by marrying Morgan instead of Ci

EVE'S POV The next day, despite finally receiving my first salary at work, I still felt low because the amount was just a tiny fraction of the surgery fee. It was quickly dawning on me that I needed to look for other sources of income. If I didn't hurry up with the payment, Sandra might end up losing her chance for the transplantation. And i f she had to wait again to find another kidney that was a match, it might be too late.At the moment, I didn't know what to do, and it frustrated me to no end. A thought crossed my mind that maybe I should ask Morgan for help, but I pushed it aside. I knew that Morgan would be willing to help me out, but I couldn't risk him finding out the truth about Sandra and my family. Also, it would be incredibly selfish of me to ask for his help when I was lying to him about my identity.I had to forge ahead alone, and this time, I would be more careful compared to when I had wanted to take part in the drug trial.I was just about to leave the office, when

DANIEL'S POV I blinked in astonishment as I looked from Eve to the strange man. Had I heard her right? Husband? Her husband? When did she get married?.I cleared my throat and leaned back in my seat, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable. From the morning he had seen Eve at the flower shop on her first day at work, I had been thinking of how to win her affection. Earlier, when she asked me to dinner, my hopes had shot to a new high. Not once did I imagine that she could be married. My eyes darted to her ring finger. No, she wasn't wearing any. I would have noticed. And she still went by her maiden name. No wonder I had never suspected she was already married."I didn't know you were married”, I told her, feeling my throat go dry. My hands curled into my fists on my highs. "When did you get married?",When had she met her husband? Where had she met him? The questions flew through my mind, but I didn't dare ask. It was none of my business. Besides, I know the answers wouldn't change a

EVE'S POV Huffing, Cindy lifted her left hand to her chest and gave me a horrified look. Then, in a loud voice, she exclaimed. "Oh my God, how could you?",I frowned at my sister's horrified tone, and my mind instantly went to work, trying to determine what it is I had done. I gave the two men accompanying me an unsure glance, and then turned back to Cindy. "What are you talking about? What have I done?","How could you be so greedy and shameless?", she cried out, her voice only getting louder. She was aware of other patrons paying attention to the table, while the two men looked between at her and me.I now looked thoroughly confused, and the frown on my face deepened. "Excuse me?",Cindy wasn't going to bring up what had happened at their home, right? Had she been at home when l went to ask our parents for the money?Maybe she was mad at me for insisting that they give me the money. It would make sense why she was calling me the same names Morgana had used. But, did she really

EVE'S POV As more customers started making negative comments about Cindy, she decided to give the bag to me."You can have it," she said, throwing the bag into my hand.I took the bag and opened it. I was not surprised at all to find a bunch of money inside. Sneering, I took it all out and looked up at Cindy. "Look at that, you're also carrying quite the amount around. Did you get this from our poor parents, too?",If looks could kill, I would be dropped dead from the glare Cindy was directing my way at that moment. And if she had been a cartoon character, smokes would be billowing out of her nose and ears. But that didn't stop me from going on with my little show and counting the money I had found in her bag.Once I was done, I put the money back into the bag and held it on my lap. "This bag and the money can partly compensate the money you owe me," I said, looking up at Cindy.Naomi huffed, and then dived for the bag, but i shifted from the chair and held the bag above my head.“

MORGAN'S POV "Do you expect me to believe that after what happened? Why would your sister do that to you?", I asked."My parents owe me money, but they refused to pay me back after I got married. My sister also doesn't want them to pay me, so that's why she likes picking fights with me" she revealed."Is that all?" I asked, still looking at her closely. Her story still didn't make sense to me. What I would rather know was why her family owed her money. And why they didn't want to pay her back. Why was her relationship with them so bad?"It is;" she confirmed, and then looked up to meet my gaze again. "What else could there be to it?",I wanted to ask about why she had a poor relationship with her family, but decided to shelve that. If she wanted to tell me, she would."Nothing", I said, looking ahead. After we had walked a few more paces in silence, I addressed the other thing that had bothered me at dinner."You should tell others that you are married," I told her.She turned to

EVE'S POV I looked at the sapphire ring on my finger and shook my head. "No, I'm not","Are you sure? I can give you two million for it" the pawnshop owner told me."Two million?", I asked, unbelieving. Was the ring really worth that much? And this was just the price I was getting at a pawnshop. What is its real value? How did Morgan get his hands on such an expensive ring?"Yes" the owner confirmed. "We can pay for it right away",l gnawed on my lip. Two million was more than enough to pay for Sandra's surgery. If I sell this ring, then I…Quickly I shook my head, ridding the thought from my mind. No. I couldn't sell Morgan's gift to her."It's my wedding ring;" I told the owner."I'm not selling it.""Are you sure?" the woman asked as I got ready to leave again. "You look like you could use the money",Was that why they had offered me such a poor price for the bags? They must have thought I was in desperate need of money.I shook my head again."If you're not going to give me a
