EVA'S POV

Still locked inside the women's cell as night fell, I was stunned when a policeman arrived and ordered me, "Eva Brooks, come out now!"

My eyes widened in shock, and I looked over at the two inmates with me, waving goodbye.

"Are you sure you’re not coming back?" the brunette lady asked, but I wasn’t sure.

"I don’t know. Take care," I replied, watching the policeman unlock the cell gate and order me to come out.

Once I stepped out of the women's cell and followed the policeman, my m

    EVA:Standing in the elevator with my boss, I frowned as the elevator rode to the last floor. His thick perfume scent filled my nostrils, and I did not like the idea that he had asked me to accompany him shopping for his sister's birthday.'Was this the first birthday that Ethan was celebrating his sister's birthday?' I pondered, but kept silent as we walked out of the elevator together.The other staff stared at me, and I knew that the gossip would increase. Ethan appeared unconcerned as I followed him to the executive car.Once we entered the car, the air thickened, and thankfully Pete was behind the wheel. He asked, "Where to, boss?""The mall. Where else? It is Angelina's birthday tomorrow," Ethan replied, his gaze on his phone while he typed on it.I looked out the other side of the car window as Pete started the car and drove off.The car fell silent as Pete drove toward the nearest mall.When the car arrived at the mall's parking lot, I breathed out with relief that I could esc

    EVA BROOKS:My chest was rising and falling heavily as I stepped into my office. I felt the stares from the other staff. As I moved back to my desk, I pulled my bag and stuffed the package inside. Why would Ethan give me this present and tell me to wear it? I pondered.I didn't glance over at the other staff. I turned on my laptop and checked Ethan's schedule for the rest of the day.---------ETHAN OWEN:I knew Eva was uncomfortable around me, but I couldn't help wanting to be close to her. Even though I hadn't accepted my feelings for her, I was concerned about her.I didn't want to give Freya any gifts. She would assume I love her, which wasn't true. So I gave the gift to Eva, who was on my mind. Sighing, I continued with the rest of my work for the day, signing some business proposals while glancing over at Eva in her office.I watched her, smiling as she went through her phone, and my heart tightened, wondering if she had found a new boyfriend or gotten back with Jacob Stone.

    EVA"I'm set," I replied, reaching Elora's car and pulling open the side door before getting in with her.She grimaced. "I don't like how Dad is trying to set me up with someone." She fastened her seatbelt as I did the same."You shouldn't take Dad's words to heart," I replied calmly as she inserted the car keys."That's fine. How are you? Have you made up your mind to give me the money to resign from Dallas Group? After all, Ethan might like you," Elora spoke softly as she ignited the engine and drove out of the house.I reclined in my seat and gazed out the car window."I want to repay him, so that I owe him nothing. He has a fiancée, and I don't want to come between them," I said calmly.Elora scoffed. "Nonsense. I figured Freya might have found out the truth. But it's fine. Once I save enough money, I will resign."Elora kept her gaze focused on the road, and the rest of the car ride fell silent.Once we reached the industrial area, my sister slowed her car, and I got out as I saw

    Eva's POVWaking up in my room on a bright Friday morning, I yawned and stretched as I knew that this was the last working day of the week.The Owens Group didn't work on Saturday and my mind raced with the thought of skipping Angelina's birthday party the following day. She had always been a bully and she looked down on me, believing I wasn't up to her standards.Sighing, I made my way into my bathroom and bathed quickly. As I turned on the shower, the cold water cascaded down my body and soothed my tiredness.After my bath, I rushed out of the bathroom and went to find my office clothes in my wardrobe.Once I selected a long-sleeved white shirt and black skirt, I donned it, buttoned my shirt, before moving over to the mirror to stand in front of it and take care of my appearance.Once I was styling my hair and spritzing on my perfume, I grasped my handbag and picked up my phone to see if I had any text messages.There was a text from Jacob.Jacob: [Hello, babe. Good morning. How was

    (Freya's POV)"Why is Ethan always pushing me away? Anytime I offer to visit him, he keeps turning me down?" I growled in the quietness of my room, as I couldn't believe that I was desperate to win Ethan's attention."Elora"—her image popped in my mind. She claimed that she didn't have anything to do with Ethan.I was standing in my room, wearing a white nightdress and a white jacket over it. I moved over to the fridge to get a drink for myself as I watched the news."Breaking News: The CEO of Owen Group, Mr. Kennedy Owen, has cleared the air on one of their hotel guests who was drugged and set up. Owen Group has compensated the young lady named Eva Brooks with the whopping sum of 10 million and also promised the public that such an act will not happen again," the female broadcaster on the television screen in my room announced, and my brows furrowed."So Ethan paid Eva compensation for getting abused. But who is the man that she slept with? Why does it feel like Ethan is lying, and h

    (Ethan's POV)Standing in my room, I ran my fingers over my head and tousled my short black hair as I couldn't resist the urge to contact Eva. For some unknown reason, I just longed to hear her voice and to know how she was. And if she had received the transferred money that my dad offered as compensation."Hello," Eva's nervous voice reached my eardrums as she answered my call."How are you doing tonight?" I asked her, moving to sit in the white chair in my room. My heart is thudding in my chest."I am fine, sir. How about you? You left the company on time," Eva said, and I couldn't tell if she was truly worried about me or if she only wanted to know what I was up to. After all, I was the one who called her."I am fine. I am calling to know if you received the transferred money that my dad offered as compensation for what happened to you in my hotel?" I asked, listening to her soft breathing."Yes, I got the money, sir. I want to repay you back as part of the debt that I owe you for
