Chapter 67

Viktor I didn't want to think about what happened earlier, but it remained burned in my mind.Did she think I was capable of stalking her? Was that how despicable she believed I was?‘How is she supposed to feel after you practically stalked her workplace?’ a voice in my mind berated. I gripped the steering wheel.Abd after everything I'd done, that was the least act. I had caused her to have a low perception of me. Taking her directions, I saw the sign for the 3rd Avenue and looked at the address on the paper.She was right. After she'd pointed it out, I couldn't unsee the evident number error. I only wished I'd seen it sooner.If I'd found the stop faster and hadn't moved forward mistaking a number, she wouldn't have seen me or been so afraid. She wouldn't think of me as a stalker.‘That's the least accusation you have to worry about,’ my thoughts haunted me. I had done worse things to her already. Things that I'd intentionally tried to hurt her. Things that I couldn't take back.

Chapter 68

EvaDespite agreeing to meet, it wasn't until the end of the week that we'd finally met, days later. I didn't know why she'd extended it, but I was thankful for the time it gave me to prepare myself, although now those preparations were turning to dust. I'd dealt with business deals with more urgency than this yet here I was, completely anxious as I stood in front of the Greenhouse Cafe. With a final sigh, I stepped inside. One of the waiters led me into the room I recognized as the same private spot we were in the last time.There were so many words loaded in my mind but they disappeared the moment I saw her. Her poise remained the same, but her face was more wan, with more wrinkles and a gauntness to them.Yet when she faced me, she lit up in the brightest smile and it chipped at my senses. It was one thing to hear from Viktor that she missed me. It was another to see it.She stood up and reached me before I could think, hugging me.“Come in dear, do you want to stand there all

Chapter 69

Viktor Minutes passed by as I remained frozen in place in the Cafe.‘Was it real?’ I thought. It was a laughable question to others. It should have been incredulous to refuse to trust my senses, but the past few days had taught me otherwise.I'd been going through withdrawal symptoms since dropping alcohol for more than a week, almost a day or so before my first meeting with the therapist and only hit a day or so after. From the pounding headaches to being unable to keep anything in to my constant draw I had to force myself to ignore. The hallucinations however, was the worst of them.Everytime I was in the penthouse, where I would suffer from hallucinations and flashbacks, seeing Eva there with tears in her eyes in many ways. Her teary face when she found us, the angry look before.I remember crying and begging before passing out only to wake up and find that it was a hallucination. Even when it was obvious, I would still fall for it and the ache would begin again.Between trying to

Chapter 70

Viktor The house was silent as I stepped in. I knew my father wasn't present from coming here a while ago and with the lack of people the silence felt even more intense with our footsteps.Looking around I couldn't feel the sense of home around this place. For all its lavishness it felt empty in parts. The only things I treasured were the memories I had, memories mostly created thanks to my mother.I couldn't face the past six years. They felt more like a blur to me now.“How did you know where I was?” My mother asked, I looked up.“Layla told me,”As if I'd conjured her, Layla stepped in through the other side of the hallway.“Mrs Reynolds,” she bowed, smiling even wiser as she saw me.“Apologies, Mrs Reynolds, Viktor was incredibly worried. You should have seen him. I had to-”“Nevermind Layla,” my mother interrupted smoothly. I forced myself to remain still from the embarrassment from her words. The last thing I wanted my mother to know was that I'd spiraled.She moved forward, gr

Chapter 71

Eva Darkness filled the room and I had a feeling that it was past midnight. Jon's breaths beside me were supposed to be soothing but my thoughts ran even louder.“Are you going to tell me what's wrong?” He'd asked soon after I'd recovered. He was so considerate, despite not knowing what or why I was in that state as he led me inside, making an excuse as we passed the kids about why I couldn't show my face until he led me into the bedroom. I tried to speak. I tried, but the words couldn't come out. I was still too spaced out, too in my head and in shock to do so. the question of what if was torturing me. That had been happening more times than I liked.In the end he'd sighed and happily brushed it off, set on distracting me. I was both relieved and pressured. How could I hold this back from him?Guilt bubbled my gut horribly , both then and now. It didn't help that throughout dinner Cory and Anthea's faces were there to remind me of the accident that happened.I always kept a pictur

Chapter 72

EvaI swallowed thickly. It was ironic that he was here now that Jon was away. The man I wanted to tell everything was absent while the one I wasn't ready to face stood in front of me.I wished I could be defensive and pull it under the rug. A part of me urged to walk away and completely ignore him, but what good will that do when he would still find me here or could corner me somewhere else?Despite his actions, this time, he actually had the moral high ground to come to me demanding answers. I couldn't refuse, even if I wanted to.There wasn't any escape this time.I quickly glanced around. Just as I hoped,the parking lot was empty, leaving me in privacy.I sped my footsteps to near him, heart shaky. I stopped several inches away, leaning in as the spice of his cologne wafted.“Not here,” I said in a low voice, averting my gaze. When I finally looked up, I met his face full of disbelief and anger.“Not now. I have a meeting minutes from now. After…we can talk somewhere else.” my wo

Chapter 73

Eva I couldn't hide my restlessness for the rest of the day. My mind was going haywire. If not for Lucy constantly keeping me in check I was sure I would have been a spaced out mess. Every action I took felt more automatic than conscious. Thanks to a text I received I knew that Jon wasn't coming back till evening. I couldn't wait to get home. The moment it was nearing closing time I stormed out, grabbing my bag and keys to leave. I told myself to wait three days until things cooled down, but Victor's appearance changed everything. I had to tell Jon, tonight. “Mommy!” Cory squealed, jumping up to hug me. I caught his embrace, putting on a smile. How ironic it was that I'd just spoken about them a few hours before. Their signature green eyes haunted me. “Were you two good?” I teased lightly after separating from them, forcing those thoughts away. ”We’ve never been bad!” Anthea cried out while Cory pouted. I stifled a laugh. “Alright. Let's go.” I foisted them I to the

Chapter 74

Eva “Stop,” I spoke through the silent room as I paced, as if it would help. Spoiler alert: it didn't. In the end, settling on the couch was the only reprieve for my tired legs. I shut my eyes, digging my fingers into the side of my head as frustration brewed in me Why? Why couldn't I stop thinking about him? It was already Friday, four days since I confronted Viktor. Normally I was able to brush up any upsetting thing with a layer of professionalism as I did in the past or simply block it out, get for some reason that day and his words remained stuck in my mind. I couldn't stop thinking back to him, his face and his words. And worst of all, it was making more guilt settle in me for rejecting him and his desire to see the children. Which was insane…right? My hardy words that day still rang true, yet a stabbing feeling came to my gut as I recalled how his face fell. His sincere expression. I was doing the right thing by keeping him away yet my conscience was telling me

Chapter 75

EvaI tensed hearing his name from her mouth. Penelope sighed beside me.In the past, she hadn't done so much as blink an eye when I told her my past and who my ex lover was despite him being a literal billionaire from one of the wealthiest families. While many others would have found a way to take advantage of the information, she hadn't even bothered mentioning it after I told her except when she wanted to curse him out. It was rare to see someone like that. It was one of the oddest things that made me question her in the past but that was just the way she was. Grounded. The money glitz and glamor didn't seem to affect her. I was grateful for it.“Julienne, let's change the topic.” she offered while Julienne remained feel “B-but..”“Yes. He is.” I cut her off, giving Penelope an assuring glance that made her relax in her seat. Switching my gaze to the brunette, I saw that her face turned slack.I expected the shock, but I I hadn't expected her face to turn stormy. “So when he che

Chapter 76

EvaI entered the cafe booked for this meeting. It was a new place, unfamiliar to me unlike my regular spot with Penelope’s Cafe or the growing familiarity of the Greenhouse cafe. It was exactly what I wanted for this occasion.I needed a neutral spot, free from any influence to meet him. This time, we were on equal grounds.“Good day, what's your order?” The unfamiliar waitress smiled at me. I ordered a random pastry and some water to pass the time. I wasn't planning on staying for long.The noises around helped keep me calm but I kept on questioning if this was the right thing to do.‘We’ll see,’ I told myself.The door opened and this time I looked up to meet a familiar face..he was right on time.Viktor entered the cafe, looking around. I silently nodded the moment he spotted me, waiting with bated breath.Less than a few days ago I'd finally solved the conflict brewing in my mind with a single call to the RCF office. They recognized me and amidst my issues, forwarded my call to h
