It was like being struck by lightning in the middle of the day when Eve heard the news. The sky darkened.
"NO!!!" Eve screamed and fell to her knees, her mobile phone slipping out of her hand. She cried out. It startled the whole house, including her sister, Adeline. They looked at Eve with confused looks. "Hey! What's wrong Eve? What happened?" asked Adeline, her sister. Eve stammered. "Mum, Dad..." "What's wrong with them? Didn't they just go to Paris? Have they arrived yet?" Adeline looked at her, confused. Eve shook her head and continued to cry while covering her face. Eve couldn't take it; oh my God. "Switch on the TV," Eve said softly. Her sister Adeline looked at her with confusion. "TV? What does this have to do with TV? You are so weird!" "I said, you switch on the TV! Don't ask too many questions!" Eve said, starting to get annoyed. Eve began to lose control of herself. "Ok! Ok! But don't get angry like that! I'm just asking. What exactly is wrong with you, Heh?" Adeline raised both hands. Adeline slowly moved to the TV room and switched it on as requested. "We hereby inform you that the plane with flight Boeing A1225678 with the destination Paris, France had an explosive accident before finally sinking in an ocean. And all passengers on board were pronounced dead! " One by one, they read out the names of the passengers. "Mr Bryan Adams and Mrs Stephanie Adams.... That's all the information we can give you!" "No! This is not true! Please someone tell me that this isn't true, right? Eve please tell me this is all a joke! Mum and Dad must be safe, right?" Adeline stared at Eve in disbelief. "Calm down, Adeline. Everything will be okay. You still have me. I'll always take care of you," Eve coaxed her 11-year-old sister. Eve was moved to hug and caress her back as she continued crying. Finally, they cried together. They continued to sob in the middle of the TV room with the TV still on that had changed the broadcast. Even Eve did not know or care about it. Eve cried so hard that they were exhausted until Eve felt the weight of her sister's body on her. "Adeline!" Eve shouted. Adeline fainted. *** Today, their house was visited by many people who came to express their condolences; they have no family other than their Uncle and aunt, who have been present here following the funeral process. Not long after the announcement, they decided to hold the funeral when they felt there was no hope. Their Uncle was named Alexander; he was the only brother of Eve's father, although they had different mothers. Or rather, Eve's father's half-brother. They offered to help Eve. After the funeral, they didn't go straight home and cried at their parents' graves, and when they finished crying, they returned home. Meanwhile, Uncle and Aunty had gone home first. Some of their hearts felt pulled out as if they had no grip. They were surprised when they arrived home; two large suitcases were placed in front of their door. They walked over to them, and sure enough. It was Eve and her sister's suitcases. "What is this?" Eve said to herself. "What's wrong, Eve? Why are our suitcases outside?" asked Adeline. "I don't know, Del! I don't know either. Let's find out!" Eve knocked on the locked door of their house. "Uncle! Aunty! Please open the door!" Eve shouted so loudly that her throat started to hurt. It wasn't long before the door opened. There was a face, Aunt Laurine, Uncle Alex's wife.And Claire her cousin appeared at the door "Clair, Aunty, thank goodness." Eve said, smiling. "Claire, Aunty, why are our suitcases outside?" she asked. Before Claire, and Auntie could answer their question, someone asked from behind. "What's wrong, dear?" he asked gently. It was Uncle Alexander. They looked at the two people in turn. "What is it, Uncle? Can you explain it to us?" he asked, feeling something was wrong. "What else do you need to explain, Heh? Please leave our house!" Uncle was about to close the door, but Eve held him back."What my Daddy said, right! This is our home now! Get out of here!" Claire, Eve's cousin who had always been annoyed and envious of Eve, added with resentment. "Your house? Wait a minute, Uncle, Claire, there seems to be something wrong here. Isn't this our house? I mean, our parents' house?" Eve started to need clarification. "Well, it was right before you switched and made us your guardians. Then my brother's house and car belonged to us! So, please get out of here!" he said sarcastically. "Transfer? What guardianship? Don't joke Uncle! Let us in!" Eve tried to push him. But two prominent men pulled Eve away. "Let go! Let go of me! This is my house! My parents' house! You have no right to take it!" Eve shouted, struggling with both hands held by the two men. "Oh, yeah? Look at this!" he said, throwing it in Eve's face." It's a copy that you're handing over exactly all the wealth and the house and everything in it to me! Alexander! Stupid girl! Hahahaha...!" Uncle Alexander laughed. Eve took it and read it, but when did she sign this letter? Eve ran up to him, "So Uncle lied to me? Uncle is sneaky! How could you lie to me! You are cruel!" Eve tried to hit him with her strength. Uncle looked angry, "You little brat!" He slapped Eve on the cheek. Eve winced in pain, and the corner of her lip was bleeding, tasting rancid and salty.Meanwhile, Claire stared with a happy gaze and smiled sarcastically and said to herself, ' Feel it, Eve!' "Uncle! You can't do this to us! Help us! If we have to leave here, where will we live, Uncle? Please help us...I'll do anything as long as you don't kick us out of here Uncle..." Eve knelt at her Uncle's feet. But then what she did was kick Eve very hard in the chest. Her chest hurt a lot. Eve fell. "Eve!" Her sister Adeline rushed over, but two big men blocked her movement. "Get them out! I don't want to know how, get them out of here!" Uncle Alex said."GO! And don't come back!" his uncle scolded."Well, go away, Eve, you lowly woman!" This time Claire, Eve's cousin, joined in her scorn. She even pushed Eve. Before they finally closed the door of their house.BLAM! Eve looked at him and ran after him and tried to bang the door back. Eve screamed rebelliously, but it seemed meaningless to them. Eve was sobbing, and so was Adeline.A middle-aged man, who was her doorman, approached with pity."Miss, leave! Before they do more than this! Take this for you...sorry this is all we can do for you! Go!, before they get here!" as he handed over some money into the hands of Eve who continued to cry."Uncle...Thank you..." Eve looked at their loyal servant and stared at the money in her hand with a sad look. In fact, they were like beggars who were pitied by others now. Because Eve didn't have a single penny in her hand except what the servant gave her.The maid, afraid of being caught, hurriedly returned and closed the gate of Eve's family mansion.Finally, Eve was thrown into the street along with her sister.Tired of crying until her eyes were swollen, Eve decided she had to be strong and get out of there before Uncle and Aunty did anything terrible to them.She must not cry or be weak.Everything happened so suddenly that their lives changed, and Eve had to be stronger and less whiny, at least in front of her sister. She was the only family she had at the moment.Eve continued to convince her heart, "I guess I'll have to find a job! I didn't even have a chance to pick up my cards earlier! We have to survive! Yeah, right!" Eve kept saying to herself until she heard her little sister complaining."Eve! How long are we going to keep going? Look! My legs are all sore and starting to blister!" she complained and showed her legs starting to turn red and the back of her legs that were slightly injured."Does it hurt that much? You wait a minute!" Eve ran to a convenience store that came into view after we walked about 800 meters from our house."Sit down, change your shoes with these slippers to
The sun appeared to publish its light; Eve began to wake up. Eve stretched the muscles of her body that felt sore and stiff all over.Eve tried to wake up her sister, Adeline. "Al, wake up! Al, we have to go now!They walked to the city centre, where they walked to a park and found a toilet to freshen up and change clothes.Before looking for work, Eve asked Adeline to wait in a park near a row of office centres and shops.Eve bought her breakfast and a drink of water and gave her a few dollars to keep watch. Eve asked her to wait until she came after getting a job.Only then would Eve figure out how to find a place to live. She should sell her favourite watch this time; it was the only precious thing she had left.It was noon, but Eve hadn't found a job yet and needed clarification. She was sweating from looking for a job all morning, and her legs started hurting from exhaustion.Finally, on the corner, Eve saw a cafe. She walked there to buy a piece of bread and hot chocolate to feed
"Liver Cancer? No way! Tell me it's all a lie, Doc! You might be wrong, Doc! It's definitely not true! My sister is just tired!" Eve shouted as she grabbed the Doctor by the collar.Exhausted, Eve finally broke down and collapsed on the cold hospital floor as she cried.Just as she felt a little happy for accepting work today, she thought things would be better after getting a job.Damian helped Eve finalize everything, including Adeline's payment.Damian was still with Eve, who was waiting for her sister to wake up. He couldn't bear to leave her.Eve didn't say much, preferring to stay quiet and lost in her thoughts.Eve looked at Damian, who seemed tired; she didn't want to impose her will on the Boss to stand by her side."Sir, isn't it better for you to go home? I can wait for my sister here. I know you are tired. I thank you for your help. I don't know what would have happened to both of us if you hadn't helped us. I promise to return the money you spent to pay for my sister's tre
Eve began to wriggle out of her short sleep. Since she had been thinking about it last night, she would try to ask her lover for help even though her messages and phone were not answered all night, and Eve thought that Robert was busy.He intended to go to the college today. Not going to study as usual, she decided to continue her studies when she had enough money. She was going to meet Robert at the college!Saying goodbye to Adeline, Eve travelled by public transport to the campus.She had done it for the first time and might have to get used to it from now on.When she arrived at the gate of her campus, she felt something strange. Everyone who knew her began to avoid her; some stayed away, some pretended to be indifferent, but more looked at her with a look of pity in their eyes."What's going on? What's going on? What are all those eyes looking at me for? Am I smelly and dirty?" she smelled the scent of her body. No odour! And not dirty either, because she had showered and changed
Eve looked down at her body, there was nothing missing either. So she wasn't hurt? She's still alive? But just now, wasn't there a car passing by? And Then, what happened?Eve turned her head towards a fairly luxurious car, looking at it sadly. She was afraid, afraid that the car would be damaged due to her lack of caution earlier. "What if this car is damaged or scuffed, due to being hit by me, maybe? Then I'll have to pay for the car's repairs? What about this? I don't have the money to pay for it! What if the owner gets angry and complains to the police, and I'm arrested and imprisoned, what will happen to Adeline? My God, what kind of ordeal is this? Why does bad luck always accompany my steps? Help me, O God!" Eve whispered worriedly in her heart as she bent down to look at the car, to find the damage."Hey! What are you doing? You want to die, huh?" said a beautiful girl dressed in a rather sexy outfit coming out of the car while ruffling her waist.Eve didn't listen to her, she
Eve blinked her eyes in disbelief at what she had just heard, an old friend offering to help. Maira wanted to help her? She could hardly believe it. In the midst of her confusion about all the problems that were choking her that made her chest hurt, Maira's help was like an oasis in the desert. Her burden seemed to be lifted from her shoulders. And she didn't expect it to come from a friend she hadn't even seen in a long time. Eve felt very grateful to God for helping her by sending Maira to her. "Really?" Eve took her best friend's hand and started kissing it "Thank you, Mai! I promise to return it to you as soon as possible! I promise!" she continued kissing the back of her hand with emotion. Eve even stood up to hug her little friend. "Never mind! Remember! Later tonight! I'll introduce you to someone who will help you! He's a close friend of mine! You can rest easy! Some of my funds are used with him for business so, well...we have to get his approval too! But don't worry, he'll
Man entered and walked slowly, then bent down and looked at Eve while caressing her smooth face. Then moved on to her exposed thighs. "Get your smelly hands off my body! Or...I'll.." Eve began to get emotional and tremble with fear. "Haha...Or what? What are you going to do, beautiful? Scream? This room is soundproof, your screams won't be heard! So, just enjoy this night...I'm very curious, it says you're a virgin, right? And I paid good money for it! So I should enjoy it!" still holding Eve's jaw roughly. "Paid? I didn't sell myself! You must be wrong! I'm here with my friend, and she wants to see me with her best friend she's going to..." Eve started to panic and moved her face away from the man. The man was actually quite handsome, but very rude and Eve didn't like it. "Yeah, yeah. Just keep bragging. Oh, yeah that friend of yours you mentioned earlier? Maira, she's the one who offered you to me at a fantastic price because she said you were still unexplored! Is that true?" wit
Everyone there turned their heads towards the handsome unknown man.Someone who deliberately ruined their fun. Including Eve who saw him, feeling she could rely on that person for help."Sir, help me! They want to harass me! Help! My friend sold me! Please, sir!" Eve began to plead, she didn't care who the man was, she just wanted to get out of here, even if she had to plead pleadingly to the unknown man, she would do it."Shut up!" the big man said as he slightly shook Eve's body that was carried like a sack of rice on his shoulders."Hey! You! Let her talk! You guys are so noisy!" he angrily pointed his index finger at Eve. "Explain why you're on his shoulders, what are you saying? Are you stupid or what? So you didn't realise you were being sold?" the man looked at the girl irritably. And then looked at the well-dressed man who seemed to know her."Put her down! I said put her down!" he glared fiercely.The two men stared at each other and sought the approval of Andrew MacGuire who
