Chapter 71 - The Girl with Auburn Hair

-Eve-I don’t know what I would feel after hearing Vincent’s story. I am not even sure if I was supposed to know that. But if there was one thing it did, it made me understand why Vincent was not into relationships. I wish I would know who that girl was. I wish there was a way for me to make the bad memories and pain to go away. I also need to know who the hell the obsessed girl was. Why she did what she did. If she was a damn heiress, she has more options than others. I guess people really want what they can’t have. And even if you are a heiress, it doesn’t mean that you could have everything.“Sometimes, I wish I was not born into my family,” Ems said, as she looked at the night sky. Her cheeks were crimson and she had that far away look in her eyes. “I just want to be a normal person, you know.” This time she turned to face me, waiting for my response. “Why?” I asked. “Money and power can’t get you everything you want. It can’t even let you buy happiness.” “What do you mean?”

Chapter 72 - Whiskey Eyes

-Eve-One thing I hated the most was being powerless. And I hate myself for not doing anything at that moment but watching her and letting her know that she wasn’t alone. I tried to justify my act by telling myself it was what she wanted. I try to reason out with myself that I don’t know if I would be able to help her or not. I don’t know if I would be able to save her or be a victim myself. When in reality I was just a coward. Just like the coward I am, I hid in silence, not once taking my eyes off the woman with auburn hair and whiskey eyes as she looked back at me as if I were her lifeline. I don’t know how long I stayed there, but it felt like forever until finally, the beating stopped. The man continued to talk bullshit but I never took my eyes away from Ems whose focus was on me.I waited trying my best to hold onto my patience and not do something that would do Ems more harm until the man decided to leave. I waited until the door of the main room closed before crawling to

Chapter 73 - Fiesty

-Vincent-I hate it when Evelyn thinks I am like the usual asshole that she knew. But then again, I was really an asshole towards her when I first met her. Okay, maybe I had been an asshole most of the time. But I have changed. Shouldn’t that count for something?“Vincent,” my grandmother called my name. She was introducing me to someone I don’t really care to know. I would have said something to irritate my grandmother but Evelyn is with me tonight and I don’t want to give her another reason to tell me that Evelyn isn’t suited to be my fiance. So I swallowed my pride and greeted the woman in front of me. “Vincent Beckett,” I said offering her a hand and my most well-crafted smile. My business smile.“Rose Hothorne,” she replied as she shook my hand. “Rose is the heiress of the Hothorne Enterprises,” my grandmother introduces. In normal circumstances, I have already made a sarcastic remark or rolled my eyes but I am no longer that person. What I do no longer just represents me. What

Chapter 74 - Curve ball

-Vincent-I was out in the corridor waiting for the doctors to finish their examination on Evelyn. Nothing bad happened to her physically but still, she was shaken up by what she had witnessed.Seeing her the way she was earlier made me want to crush Hector but she beat me to it.I have to admit that it was one of my proudest moments. However, seeing her shaken up the way she did was something I would never want to see again. “Vincent!” I heard Brie call out, but Emmet was already standing in front of me before she could even reach me. “Where is my sister?” The anger from his voice vibrated all over my body. “What the hell happened?” I looked past him and spoke to Brie and Alyana instead of answering Emmet. “Evelyn is here,” I said pointing at the door on my right. “The doctors are checking up on her right now. Would you both be so kind as to stay here until the doctor got out and then stay by her side until I return?” Brie and Alyana nodded. “Tony?” I asked and knew he had no

Chapter 75 - The Nightmares

-Eve/Vincent-*Eve*No! I screamed but there was no sound. I watch the scene unfold before me, this can’t be real. This can’t be happening again. No! Ems husband didn’t even stir but I know that I need to get to her. I need to stop Hector from hurting Ems again. No, I will not let him hurt Ems again.I rushed towards Ems's side only to find that there was an invisible wall standing between us and just like before, I couldn’t stop it. I can’t reach her. No, No, No!I said shaking my head as if it would make a difference. As if my screams were loud enough to be heard. But that didn’t stop me because this time around. I will not make the same mistake that I did. I will not be a coward again. It was as if my silent prayer was heard and the invisible wall started to have cracks, so I kept hitting it until my hand bled. I continued screaming until my voice could be heard. Ems husband turned. His attention was not on me and I brace myself as he stomps towards me. I fought with him but

Chapter 76 - Fractured Memories

-Eve-The sun was shining brightly when I opened my eyes. My body aches, my headaches, and my body feels so heavy. I looked around me and I was surrounded by white walls, machines beeping, and the smell of antiseptic. Where am I?Just thinking about where I am made my head throb painfully.“Hey, Eve,” A cheerful voice I know so well greeted me. I turned to face the voice and found Garrett’s smiling face. I tried to give him a smile but failed miserably as the throbbing in my head continued. “Does your head hurt?” The concern in his voice reflected on his face. I closed my eyes as I nodded. “Let me get a nurse for you,” he replied, “Vincent,” I heard him say, followed by muffled voices before I heard the door open and then closed. “Hey, baby,” Vincent said as he approached. This was the first time I saw him this disheveled. His hair was all over the place with shadow under his eyes. “How are you?” He asked. He took my hand in his hand and sat on the couch beside the bed.“My hea

Chapter 77 - Connections

-Vincent-“If we want to give him to suffer, then the heaviest sentence is what he needs,” Emmet’s lawyer explained as we looked into what kind of case we could file to make sure that we could keep Ems and Evelyn safe. “Also, with just Ems’s medical records, it’s enough to qualify it for divorce,” he added. “But without Evelyn’s testimony, and unfortunately, we could possibly get up to 10 years depending on the residing judge or jury.” “I want him gone,” Emmet’s voice was as cold as ice but he kept his calm. I am not sure that I could keep my calm if this happened to Evelyn. “We know that the law doesn’t work that way,” the lawyer said. “And we also know that the Bushes have a lot of connections and you know what I mean when I say that. There is a possibility that they contact those connections that would make everything a bit complicated.” “God!” The fury and frustration that he feels reflects on all of us. “If I can’t get him behind bars for a long time right now please go for t

Chapter 78 - Moving On…

-Vincent-I left Emmet and Garrett in the room that Ems was staying in and returned to where Evelyn was. I found her listening to whatever Brie was saying. I decided to take the couch in silence and let her enjoy her friend's company. It was a good thing that her grandmother had already met me and knew who I was she didn’t panic when I told her that Evelyn was rushed to the hospital and would be discharged later.She asked how Evelyn was, I didn’t really want to lie nor did I want her to worry so I told her that she was fine and was with Brie and Alyana. We didn’t really talk for too long, but she made me promise that I bring her home. “Vincent,” I heard Evelyn calling me just right before I could even take a seat. When I looked in their direction, the three girls were looking at me. I walked straight at her and she leaned in when I was near the bed.“Something wrong?” I asked worried as I looked at Brie and Alyana for answers.“Why am I here?” She asked, “I kept racking my brains

Chapter 79 - Round Cold Steel

-Eve-Brie and Alyana stayed with me making my grandmother happy and at ease that I was okay and I had people other than her to rely on. She was so happy that she cooked like there was an occasion and we ended up with a lot of food. To make sure that nothing goes to waste, Brie packed some of the dishes, with my grandmother’s approval, and gave them to Tony and her security. I was glad to know that she didn’t see Vincent when she and Alyana delivered the dishes.A lot of things had happened in just a span of twenty-four hours with me and Ems, whom I found out was actually Emmet’s sister, in the hospital. I don’t really know what exactly happened and no one is telling me anything at all. Vincent said that it was for my own health and what the doctor had advised. They said that I had a special kind of amnesia that was caused by a trauma. The doctor advised that this was just temporary and everything would all come back to me. Vincent had been very supportive and very patient about i

Chapter 80 - The Uncle

-Eve-Things happened so fast that I didn’t have the chance to be scared or react. A black van came by the moment I was out of the car. Several men in black masks came out and pushed me inside the van and all of them were armed. Once inside one of them covered my head with a black cloth back, another tying my hands together, while another tied my feet. I didn’t have the chance to scream, nor did I have any chance to analyze or fight back. I was powerless. All I remember was that the man I thought was an old homeless guy was not homeless. I was surrounded by blackness. No one was talking, no one gave me a hint of what was happening or where they were taking me. I don’t even know any reason why would someone do this to me. First, I don’t have any money if they think that kidnapping me would make them reach. Second, I don’t remember doing anything bad to other people who could hate me so much that they resorted to kidnapping me. Third, I don’t remember having any enemies. Well, exc
