I pressed my lips together in annoyance, silently fuming in anger. Instead of wasting anymore of my time, I snatched the file from his hand and walked away. He was still chuckling behind my back so I flipped him off without looking back. And since I hated any forms of swearing and cursing, I showed him my ring finger instead. Yeah, sue me for being immature, cliched and a goody two shoes.

I was storming in anger when I bumped into a solid wall of a chest, making my head immediately start throbbing from the impact. Rubbing my head, I looked up to the owner of the wall.

It was Nate.

"Woah, Eves! Are you okay? What're you doing here? I just came from your office, searching for you."

I took me a few seconds to come back to reality after my head finally toned down its dancing with the stars. I raised my eyebrows at him. "Why were you in my office?"

He shrugged in reply. "I was supervising the investigators. But let me tell you something very important." He suddenly widened his eyes and lea

  • A Promise To Forever   chapter 45

    I walked out of the hospital cafeteria with a bag containing burger and fries and two takeaway cups of hot chocolate. My dear sister had shooed me out of her room, not so politely asking me to not enter unless I bring good food to her. I had to sneakily bribe the nice looking waiter to fulfill my sisterly duties.My phone vibrated as I was walking towards Eva's room and I adjusted the bags and the cups on one hand while I searched for my phone. With great difficulty, I took it out of my back pocket and smiled at the contact name. I was starting to feel that I should change his contact name by now but it always managed to make me laugh everytime he called so I let it be.I ignored my heart which was once again resuming what seemed to be its job everytime the devil was involved in any form and answered the call. Before I could even utter a word, however, Adrian beat me to it."How's Eva? How did it go?"He sounded breathless, as if he was running and soon enough, I heard the ding of the

    The same nurse from earlier came to us and both of us stood up straight. She gave a small smile at us, which relieved some of my anxiety but I didn't dare return her smile just yet. Allie was tapping her right foot nervously on the floor as both of us waited for the nurse to speak."Ms. Evangeline has woken up. Dr. Marshall and Dr. Jenkins are inside. You can come now."Both of us rushed towards Eva's room and we entered to find ourselves in almost the same state as before. Dr. Marshall was running the tip of a needle like thing along her feet and speaking to her while Keith was writing something on her file. I was scared to move further inside. I wouldn't be able to take it if this surgery failed. I wasn't strong enough to watch my sister disappointed in me. I couldn't stand being a failure to my sister once again.Eva's face was scrunched in confusion as she watched Dr. Marshall repeat the same movements along her feet. I felt my heart hammering against my chest as I looked at her

    "I can't feel my legs."I stumbled backwards hearing this and felt a pair of arms holding me, preventing me from falling down. I didn't have to look back to know who it was. Once again, I was grateful that he was here.It was silent for while, all of us looking at each other. Dr. Marshall scrunched his face in confusion, and repeated the same movements on her legs, giving her simple instructions like lifting her heels, moving her toes. But Eva shook her head at each one, her eyes filled with tears of frustration as she failed each time.I couldn't speak. I was still standing there, frozen, as I watched my sister trying and failing to do a task as simple as shaking her feet. I suddenly felt cold when the arms unwound themselves from me. Adrian moved away after giving my shoulder a little squeeze. A part of me wanted to call out to him but I stopped myself. Another pair of smaller arms enveloped me into a hug and I looked over to see Allie with tears in her own eyes. I could hear Adria

    It was Sunday. A day before Eva's surgery. I was in my office doing some works that were still remaining. Both of our offices, that is, Eva's and Co. as well as The Stones Inc. were working today since Adrian's company had a similar 'server crash'. Our investigators were looking at the case since these events looked too suspicious to be a pure coincidence. But in the meantime, we had to recover things.It was a stressful situation. Specially with Eva's surgery the next day. I would be taking leave for a few days so I was trying to complete as much as I could before that.I was checking the files when I saw that a few of them didn't have Adrian's signature in them. I'd told Leah to send them to his assistant last week but the woman seemed to have a hard time interpreting directions. I looked around for her but she was nowhere to be found. She'd come earlier with my blueberry muffin and coffee when she'd arrived and she hadn't logged out of her computer so she must still be inside the

    "It's okay if you don't want me there. I can understand. No pressure. But if it is because you think I'll hurt her or something, I promise you that I won't. I can never think of hurting anyone knowing how much they mean to you." Adrian's hesitant voice brought me out of my reverie and I looked at him. Apparently, he'd taken my shaking of head as a no.I smiled at him. "I know that you won't, Adrian. I'm meeting her this Saturday so you can come with if you want to?"He brightened at this and nodded his head like an excited child, making me laugh a little at his reaction. The rest of the ride was spent with us talking about ways to complete the works before our grand meeting. Adrian said that he'd be working this Sunday as well since we had a lot to do, especially as we had lost all important data. I felt guilty because he had to redo most of the work due to the server crash in my company but he waved me off saying it was no big deal.We eventually reached my apartment and I got out of
