LOGIN“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.

Maeve The first sign that something was wrong when I walked through the front door of the apartment I only recently bought with my fiancée and soon-to-be husband was when I heard a female groaning long and loud like she was in pain. I froze. It sounded too close. Really close. Like in my damn apartment close. I opened my mouth to call out but the voice came again. “God, yes, that feels good.” The voice sounded familiar. And it’s coming from… I walked farther into my apartment, careful not to make a noise. The sound was coming from my bedroom. I brace myself as I press the polished chrome handle and throw open the door. There in bed fully naked was my fiancée and soon-to-be husband… No! He is my husband already. since we registered our marriage officially two months ago. “Shit! What the fuck are you doing here, Eve?” Those were the first words that he said to me when he finally pulled out of the woman he was in bed with. “Is that what you are supposed to say to me?” I didn’t even know how I was still able to speak. I could barely breathe. I turned and started walking away but his hand stopped me. “Eve, wait.” “Wait for what?” I yelled at him and yanked my hand away. He cursed again and sifted his fingers through his hair. “This is all your fault!?” I gasped in shock at his words. No, those words weren’t directed at his mistress. They were directed at me. “My fault? What’s my fault?” I asked him in disbelief. “It’s all your fault! I cheated because of you!” I stared at my fiancée with my mouth open and no words coming out. He just said it’s my fault that he cheated on me. Not just cheated but he cheated a month before our wedding. One month to our big day and I found him dick deep in another woman who was currently still in his bed. Still very much naked save for the bedcover she used to cover herself that was barely covering anything. She didn’t even look a bit remorseful that she was caught in bed with my fiancée. Maybe it would have hurt less if she weren’t someone I knew. Someone I trusted so much. Someone who has been working closely with me for over three years now. My assistant. Violet. One of my bridesmaids. One of the people who has been helping me plan my big wedding. She looked like she was pleased that I caught them. She looked like she was having fun and had been praying for this day to come. Surely it wasn’t the first time. Definitely not. “Why are you just standing there, Eve? Did the cat get your tongue?” His words unfroze my mouth. “What are you even talking about Evans? You are cheating on me with my assistant in our home that we both paid for and you are saying it’s my fault? Have you lost your mind?” I yelled at him. I haven’t even fully processed the fact that this was happening to me. When I decided to come to the house we bought six months ago when we started planning our wedding, I didn’t for once think I would meet my fiancée here because he was supposed to be working on a project. I never expected to see my assistant bent over in all four and asking my fiancée to fuck her harder. Just thinking about what they were doing before I showed up made me want to throw up. “Yes, it’s all your fault! When was the last time we had sex?” My eyes widened at his words. Two months. It was all his idea. The minute we registered our marriage, he suggested that we wait until our wedding night to make love again. That way our wedding night will be even more special. “You suggested it!” I reminded him. “Did I? Or was I just looking for a way to get out of boring sex with you?” I couldn’t believe what he just said. “Boring?” “Yes! Sex with you has been hell and I wanted something better.” I scoffed. “And you got better from her?” I asked, pointing to Violet who was watching us with a sly smile on her face. I had nothing to tell her so I didn’t even bother to address her. “You know what? Don’t answer that.” I told him as I reached for the ring on my finger. I pulled it off and tossed it at him. “What do you think you are doing?” The audacious man asked me. “Obviously, there’s no point in all of this! You found someone else and even though you didn’t have the courtesy to tell me, it’s fine. I can read the room. The wedding is off.” He looked shocked at my words. “The wedding can’t be off! We are getting married in four weeks!” Oh, so he knows? “Not anymore.” I felt proud of how well I was handling everything even though I was breaking apart inside. “Have you forgotten? Legally, you are my wife. We already registered our marriage.” My biggest mistake. I should have waited until the wedding but I wanted our home to be ready before our big day. I wanted us to own the property as a couple and now look where that got me. “That’s okay! I will file for a divorce.” I told him. “You can’t do that. You love me too much and you pretty much don’t have any other option but to marry me.” I swallowed and willed myself not to respond to his insults. “Do you really think anyone else would want you? If you call off the wedding and file for a divorce, you will be alone forever.” I would much rather be alone than be with a fucking cheater. “I don’t care!” Why am I even talking to him while he is still fucking naked and dripping precum mixed with Violet’s essence? I felt sick. “The wedding is off and the divorce papers will be sent to you, make sure to sign!” I yelled at him and was about to walk away when I suddenly realized that I needed evidence. I pulled out my phone and with shaking hands took a video. “What the fuc—“ I used all of my strength to kick the bastard where I knew it would hurt him the most. Yes, his cheating dick. I ran out of there without thinking and didn’t stop running until I got into the elevator and the door closed. I collapsed to the floor of the elevator. Good thing I was alone. I managed to make it to my car and I called my lawyer immediately. I sobbed as I opened my mouth to say the words I never thought I would say in this lifetime. “I want a divorce. Please file the necessary papers to dissolve my marriage with Evans.” I dropped the call after making sure my lawyer heard me and there in my car, I cried.Maeve“I am worried about Mom.”I told Andro.“Why? She is okay, isn’t she? I spoke to her on the phone today.”Andro asked.“She is fine, but Evans mom called her. She didn’t tell me the full details, but I know it was intense.”I explained.“That’s why you are worried?”I nodded.“She knows where Mom lives. After what her son did, I can’t put it past that family. There’s no limit to what they can do, and mom is mostly alone at the house.”I know I shouldn’t be worried because Mom said she won’t call again, but I think I am going into a paranoia phase.“You are worrying over nothing; just because her son is a terrible person doesn’t mean she is like him.”Andro doesn’t know her; that’s why he just said that. That woman only cares for her son.She believes everything he tells her.“I don’t know. It’s not as if I can tell mom to move out of that house. I just can’t stop worrying about her.”I told him.“Baby. Calm down. Nothing is going to happen to your mom, okay? If you want, we can
Maeve“Are you sure that you are okay?”My mom asked me for the fifth time since I arrived at her house.“Mom, I am fine.”I assured her.“You look so lean and pale.”She worried.“Mom, I am okay, just pregnant and have been stressed a lot lately, but I plan on taking a break from everything and resting.”At least until the wedding. We don’t have a date yet, but I want it to be November or early December. I don’t want it to be Christmas, as that would be Nora and Ricky’s time.I told Nora that I changed my mind about when I was going to get married, and she assured me that it was okay to get married earlier than planned.Marian is still going to make my wedding dress; she just needs a little help from Nadia, who agreed to help.“Please take all the rest you need.”I nodded and smiled.“I came because I wanted to tell you about our plans.”I didn’t want to tell my mom about the wedding on the phone, so I came to see her in person.“Okay, tell me.”She urged.“Andro and I are planning
Alessandro.“Bastard!”He let out a curse when he realized I played him.“You are so easy to fool.”I mocked him.“Don’t even joke about it, Alessandro.”He warned me, and that made me laugh even more. He cursed me and started the car.I checked my phone and responded to all work emails while Theo drove. I didn’t have a lot to deal with since Janelle already took over from me.“I feel so free. I don’t have to go to work.”I told Theo.“Are you that happy about it?”I nodded.“You know me. I may know a lot about business, but I really don’t like to get involved. It’s different when I develop games or apps. I like that part. What I don’t like is being holed up in offices and made to wear serious clothes.”I shook my head, and he laughed.“Good thing you have a rich wife.”I laughed but nodded in agreement.“Right, I lucked out with her. I am so happy.’I told him.“I am happy for you too, bro. I am happy that the shot didn’t hit a vital spot. I am happy that you are alive and well.”I s
Alessandro“I still don't know why you really want to go there.”I smiled at Maeve’s complaint. After spending a whole week in the hospital, I was done and ready to go home, but before I went, I wanted to see that bastard.Maeve was against me going, and I understood her, but I still wanted to see him.I wanted to show him that he failed and that I am still very much alive.“Baby, come on, I won’t be long, I promise you.”I assured her, but she still didn’t look pleased. I went to her and hugged her from behind.“That’s not going to work.”I smiled because even as she said that, she still leaned into me. She loves me so much and can’t even pretend to not want me to hold her.“I am not happy with this. You shouldn’t give that jerk any more time. He already caused enough damage.”I spun her so that she was facing me and kissed her lips.“It will just be for some minutes. I swear that I won’t do anything crazy. I just want him to know that he failed to kill me and I am still very much al
Maeve “Noted.” I told him and smiled when he pulled away from the hug just to wrap his arms around me,.I snuggled closer feeling happy.There was nothing more left to be said.He knew about everything already and he wasn’t mad that I lied to him.He understood and that made me so happy. Nothing
Maeve “I am so sorry, Andro. I had no idea. I am sorry.” I apologized to him. What his mom did really hurt him for him to be so shaken by it all because he told me about it. “It’s not your fault. It’s just that I hate any time I talk about my parents' broken marriage, everyone just assumes
Maeve “From my brother? How do you know I have a brother?” I asked him. I am sure Tones would have said something to me if he knew Andro. Wait, I didn’t even tell Tones anything about him. Only my best friend knew about him. “I haven’t met him yet but Fabien has and they drank and shared st
Maeve “Eve?” I slowly opened my eyes when he called my name and I felt his hand softly touch my cheek. Still, I avoided meeting his eyes. “Hey,” He whispered and lifted my chin to make me look at him. When I did, I gasped when I saw nothing but a soft understanding in his eyes. There
