Chapter 51 - Clarity

-Eve-We stood in silence for god knows how long. I hate the distance between us right now but I will never make the first move. Even though I just want us to get this tension between us resolved, I am still angry at him for acting the way he did earlier. He might be paying me and we might have been closer than before but that doesn’t mean he has the right to act the way he acted earlier. Vincent sighed as he started to walk towards me. “It’s late and I know that you are as tired as I am right now,” his voice was soft and there was a gentleness in his touch as he led me to the couches. He let go of my hand as he pushed the chaise longue closer to the floor-to-ceiling window. He then proceeds to place several pillows at the back of the sofa before settling down. He turned to face me as he offered his hand to me, “Come sit with me, little devil,” his eyes were tired and pleading. A different version of Vincent, once again.“I am still mad at you,” I said, making it clear that he wo

Chapter 52 - The Sleepover

-Vincent-Sleepover…When Evelyn told me she never experienced one, I didn’t believe her initially, well, until I saw that she was telling the truth. This was supposed to be my night of truth. Well, my truth at least. The time when I told her everything and saw how she would take my truth and pray to all the gods who could hear that she would accept my new proposal. But I gave her so much stress tonight, mostly my fault, that I gladly gave it when she requested an escape. I sat on one of the couches and watched as Brie, Alyana, and my Eve made fun of Garrett. The room was filled with teasing and laughter. “So, you two made up?” Emmet asked as he hand me a shot of whiskey.“Not quite,” I replied as he took the empty seat beside me. “But my grandmother gave everything I own back.”I watched his eyebrow raise in question before asking the obvious, “What did she ask in return?” A smile crept in on my lips. Emmet knows my grandmother so much that he knows she doesn’t give anything for

Chapter 53 - Baggage

-Vincent-They were gone when we woke up. “What the fuck did you do, Emmet?!” Garret screamed as he continued to either Brie or Alyana but none of them was picking up his call. He turned to me, “Did Eve say anything else?” I shook my head. I am far more irritated than Garrett is but I keep my cool. I tried calling Evelyn the moment Garrett burst into my room when he found that Brie and Alyana were no longer in their rooms. He was expecting them to be in my room because he was expecting Eve to be with me only to find me alone.Evelyn didn’t answer my call which pisses me off. But unlike Garrett, I was still lucky that Evelyn sent me a message telling me that she couldn’t answer the phone because it was a girl thing and that she was okay and they were heading home early. As much as this whole situation sucks, I am also happy that Evelyn found someone she could be comfortable with. After all the bad things she had experienced in her life, I am just glad that something is looking up

Chapter 54 - Charms

-Eve-It was supposed to be a fun night…A memorable night…Until it wasn’t.Brie had been sitting on the couch that she had pushed facing the floor-to-ceiling window not uttering a single word.Alyana and I watched her back in silence as her body continued to rise and then fall. I’ve never seen Brie like this. So lifeless and so sad.She was always the light of our party. Always the one who keeps the balance. I now realize that we depended on her so much. I depended on her so much that I didn’t know what the hell to do now. “Should we talk to her?” I asked Alyana, my voice low enough for just the two of us. Alyana shook her head no as she whispered back to me, “Just let her be. She just needs some time and space to think.” I nodded in agreement but felt helpless. Brie always knows what to do or what to say all the time to comfort me, why can’t I do the same to her not that she needs me?I know that Brie and I just became friends. But I won’t deny that I feel a bit sad when I real

Chapter 55 - One of a Kind

-Vincent-“Aren’t we going to sit with them?” Garrett asked as he looked longingly toward the table that Brie and Alyana occupied. “You know we can’t,” I replied. Even though I know that I could. Evelyn just asked me not to because she was a supportive friend, even though I had already pointed out multiple times that it was not applicable to me because I am her boyfriend. Boyfriend…I like the sound of it.“Why do we have to suffer when it’s not even our fault?” Garrett complains, not minding that Emmet could hear him.Garrett continued to complain beside Emmet, while Emmet continue to ignore him.Tony, on the other hand, was busy with his laptop to mind us. I know that he hadn’t stopped since the break-in, and I also know that he wouldn’t stop until he fixed what needed to be fixed. I looked down at my phone impatiently as I waited for Evelyn’s reply.I had been trying to convince Evelyn that we should talk regardless of the outcome; I just wanted to get it over with.I hated the

Chapter 56 - D-day

-Eve-I thought I had enough time to think this through. Enough time to come up with a plan. I was expecting to hear some encouraging words from Brie, but just like yesterday, she didn’t come to school. Alyana and I were getting worried because we hadn’t received anything from her. No replies to our messages. No answered phone calls. It was like she just vanished as fast as she came. Alyana and I even went to her cafe. It was being run by her employees, and even they don’t have any idea when she will come back. We stayed there for a while, trying to chill with our favorite strawberry milkshake and chocolate milkshake. “Where the hell is she?” Alyana asks after two minutes of silence. “This is so not Brie,” I said, playing with my straw. “I know,” Alyana agrees, “And it’s because of that asshole Emmet.” “We don’t really know what happened between the two of them.” Alyana raises her eyebrows at me as if I have grown two heads. “God, Eve,” she said disbelievingly, and I autom

Chapter 57 - First Date

-Vincent-I know that I should have used the head I have on my shoulders and not the one below my waist, but I just can’t stop myself.The power that Evelyn has over me was both overwhelming and uncharted territory, but the way she gives me the same power over her removes any hesitation from me. I took her to my penthouse in one of the most expensive high rises in the city. “Why didn’t we go to your house?” Evelyn asked as she traced her index finger on my arm. We were both seated on the chaise lounge I had recently bought. After enjoying the one in Garrett’s hotel, I decided to buy one. The penthouse used to be a cold place for me to sleep in or work overtime at. It never felt like a home, and I never brought any girl here. Which is why I decided to bring Evelyn here. I don’t want any place that was tainted by my previous life. This is my life now, even though I am not sure how long it will last. “I am selling that place,” I replied to her answer, burying my face on her neck.

Chapter 58 - Norrustra

-Eve-I don’t know why I even agreed to do Vincent’s favor. Not only that, but I hate myself for agreeing to do it on the weekend. So here I am, losing my mind, and pretending that I can focus on whatever Mr. Reeves was teaching us even though I didn’t learn anything since first class. But that’s not all. To make my already stressful day more stressful, Vincent decided to sit beside me in every class. Seeing that we were seated together made Garrett think that everything was back to normal until he heard what Alyana had to say. “Can’t you let Garrett sit closer to us?” I asked in a whisper to Alyana, who was still flaring with anger. “No,” she replied with a huff. “I only allowed your boyfriend because he is your boyfriend and I don’t want to be a cockblocker for not allowing the two of you together. But that’s all I can tolerate.” I know that she acts tough and all, but I also know that there was something soft in there waiting to be discovered. Vincent’s phone rang, but I wasn

Chapter 59 - The Princess

-Eve-Princess…I have a friend who is a princess…We stayed at the reception area of the guidance office, which was just beside the Principal’s office. I stayed seated on one of the couches, too stunned to say anything while Alyana continued to shout silently at Tony in one corner. “Are you okay?” Vincent asked worriedly as he crouched down before me. “You knew?” I asked, looking at him.“No,” he replied as he shook his head. “Then how…” I trailed off, trying to piece everything together. “Tony called me,” he explained, giving me a small smile. “Actually, he just asked me to bring you guys here. He didn’t really elaborate on anything else. I trust him enough not to waste my time, so I brought you two here. I think Brie might have asked him.”“And when did he and Brie became close?” I demanded, surprising him and me at the same time. “Sorry,” I automatically say. “You don’t have to apologize for wanting to know something, little devil,” Vincent said with a smile. Like how much I

Chapter 60 - YOLO…

-Eve-The bell rang, a sign that the weekend was here. Everyone was shouting and excited. All of them have plans for the weekend just like everyone else. There was a time when I didn’t have any plans at all. Just stayed with my grandmother and spent the day with her or with Stephen, but usually, he was busy during the weekends. “Let’s go,” Vincent said as he took my bag from me. “Didn’t know that Vincent Beckett was a gentleman,” I said teasingly, earning that smile of his that I begin to like.“Oh, Evelyn, nothing is gentle about me,” he said with a smirk. “Eve,” Alyana called out. I turned and found her running towards us.“Yes?” But instead of talking to me, she faced Vincent. “Don’t forget, this is a girl’s night out, meaning no boys.” Her tone was serious, like she was threatening him. “For now, I trust you and you alone. If you know what I mean.”Vincent nodded. “I know what you mean,” he replied.“Okay, what’s with this cryptic exchange?” I asked, hating to be the one l
