Masuk“Are you married?” I bit my tongue at the question that I have been dreading since I saw him in the boardroom. “Answer me!” His angry yell startled me. I couldn’t fault him for being mad. How do I begin to explain it? If I tell him the truth, we will lose the deal and if I continue with the lies, he will see me as a cheating woman. Either way, I am going to lose so I picked the better choice for me and for my company. “Yes, I am married.” ***** For Maeve Fitzgerald her night with Alessandro Marchesi was pure passion and the best night of her life that can only be one night. For Alessandro, it was so much more. Maeve was sure they will never cross paths again but fate has a different plan and it’s about to change her life forever.

I managed to pull myself together and spoke again.“Theo?”I could only call Theo’s name because he was the only one I really knew.“Yes, baby.”I almost started sobbing again.“Where are you guys? Who are you with?”I asked him.“I am with James, Thomas, and Charles. Alexander had surgery, so he couldn’t make it.”He told me. I knew Charles was the actor, Alexander must be the doctor, so the other two are my oldest brothers, who were ex-seals.“You told them.”I joked to lift the mood.“I had to. I am sorry that I didn’t keep my word to you.”I chuckled.“That’s okay. I only found out after the results were released. Can I talk to the others?”I asked him.“Sure,”He said, and there was a moment of silence before someone called my name.“Which one are you?”I asked and felt another wave of sadness rush through me.My brother was on the phone, and I
Maeve“That’s okay, I can cook for you.”I smiled.“I love you.”I told him and stuffed my mouth with more food. He handed me a napkin.“What do you want to do after lunch?”He asked me.“I don’t know.”I told him.“We can watch a movie or play video games. There are a lot of things to do around here.”I nodded at his suggestion.After lunch, I chose to watch a movie, so he took me to the cinema at home.I expected it to be a small movie room, but it wasn’t. It had at least ten rows of seats and a huge screen.We spent the rest of the afternoon watching different movies.I skipped dinner because I started to feel nauseous in the evening and by seven pm, the cramp returned as if it never left.This time, rather than send Andro away, I begged him to stay by my side, and he helped ease the pain with both his presence and by massaging me.By Monday morning, I was in hell, but thankfully, I didn’t have to go to work.I sent a message to the group chat and spent the day between crying and s
Maeve“Why do you look so shocked?”I asked him and laughed at the face he made when he realized I threw his words right back at him.“You love me.”It wasn’t a question, but I nodded.“I love you, Alessandro. I saw you watching me earlier and not only realized that you love me but came to terms with the fact that I felt the same.”I voiced.He cradled my face with both hands and looked into my eyes.“You love me.”I chuckled and nodded.“That means you can’t leave me.”He added. Again, I nodded.“I won’t leave you.”I told him.“Good, because I won’t let you go. You are mine, Eve.”“I am yours, and you are mine.”I answered, and when he leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine, it felt the same but also different in a way that I couldn’t really explain with words.“I love you.”He hushed when we pulled apart.“I love you too.”I responded.He kissed me again and then held me close.We stayed in each other's embrace for a while until my legs started to feel cramped due to the
Maeve“I love him.”I whispered to myself and realized just how true those words were.He wasn’t the only one who fell in love at first sight.I did too.Why else would I have gone with him that night to his hotel room? I barely knew him, yet I trusted him so much.Why didn’t I realize it?Or maybe I did, but I just didn’t think it was what it was.“The pilot is on the way. Are you guys coming with us?”I looked at Theo, who spoke, then my eyes turned to Andro, who had already told me we weren’t leaving with the others.“No, Eve and I are staying for another day. We will leave tomorrow morning.”Andro answered for both of us.“Okay, you can tell the pilot when to come get you tomorrow.”Andro nodded.“The rest of us will go get ready and be out of your space.”Theo said, and everyone laughed.It didn’t take long for the helicopter to arrive.“I will call you.”Theo told me as we escorted them out.“I will be expecting your call.”I told him, and we shared a hug again before I watched
Alessandro“What? Why?”She asked me. Since I already made up my mind to tell her the whole truth, I didn’t see the need to hide anything.“Wait, is this because of Eve?”She asked before I could answer. I nodded.“Wow, and I was mad at her? If I knew she was the way to get you to agree to marry me
Maeve“Maeve? Are you still there?” I cleared my throat before I answered.“I am still here, Nonno, I am just surprised at the request. Is it that he doesn’t trust us to do our job properly from our respective offices?” I asked him.“Not really, he just thinks everything will go more smoothly if
Maeve“Give me my phone.”I told him again, but instead of handing me the phone, he took the call and put it on the loudspeaker.“Are you aware that your wife is currently in my office?”My eyes widened when I realized who was calling, and that made me want to take the phone from him again.“MY wif
Maeve“Well, one of us has to leave, and it can’t be me!” I scoffed.“Oh yes, it can be you! You are the one who is throwing tantrums! I don’t mind working with you!”I told him.Okay, that’s a lie, but I can pretend. It’s not like we will be working together forever.After the project ends, we wi
