-Dominic-

I was at the dinner table with my mom when my phone buzzed with a notification from an unfamiliar number:

Good evening, sir. Thank you for calling Sal. I really appreciated it.

I smiled, I could tell it was Eve. Somehow, Mom noticed immediately.

“Who’s that?” she asked, eyes narrowing playfully.

“Oh, just someone reminding me I’m helpful,” I causally said.

She laughed, shaking her head. “Helpful, huh? That’s a stretch.”

I chuckled. “Barely.”

My mind went to last night. The mortified e

  • Eve's Temptation: Bound By His Obsession   074: Legacy Week II

    -EVE-Downstairs, Alex was nowhere in sight, but at least Ana was. She was in the main hall, muttering something under her breath as she rolled out the red carpet.“You look pissed,” I said, trying to lighten her mood.She straightened, gritting her teeth. “Ugh! I'm so fucking tired of being directly tied to Vanessa. She's so arrogant and indecisive—”“Sh! Someone might hear you,” I whispered, looking over my shoulders. “Let them hear for all I care!” She spat. She was clearly way past caring.Before I could speak, the hum in the hall disappeared. I turned. Eleanor Kingston had walked in with Vanessa beside her.Eleanor glanced around, eyes scanning and scrutinizing the entire hall. She glanced at the table placement, she nodded. At the flowers, and everything else, and then her eyes landed on the stage’s backdrop.She paused, pointed to it. “The color is wrong. Didn't we change it? Burgundy is different from wine red!” Her voice rose.Vanessa quickly stepped forward. “I'm really

    -Eve-“You were supposed to meet my mom on Wednesday,” I told Alex after Dominic's words had unintentionally stuck to my head since Sunday.Alex looked up from his laptop, the only still that was currently worth his attention. “What?”“Dinner, you said you'd come.”“Eve.” He rubbed a hand over his face. “Legacy Week is consuming me. The venue walkthrough ran over, then Eleanor called an emergency meeting about the staff film.”I folded my arms.“If you wanted to, you would.”The words slipped out before I could stop them.His head lifted. “What?”“Nothing.”“That's not nothing. Who said that to you?”I looked away.“Eve.” His voice softened. “Listen to me. I want to meet your mother. I want every part of your life. Right now, I'm just trying to get through the next few weeks. After the gala, things calm down. I promise.”I wanted to believe him.“Okay.”“Okay.” He kissed my forehead. “Just give me until Legacy Week is over.”The next three weeks disappeared into planning.The hotel's

    -DOMINIC-The look on Eve’s face when she opened the door was worth the drive. “W-what are you doing here?” She stuttered, eyes wide with disbelief.I opened my mouth to answer, but then her mother appeared from behind her, smiling wide, hands already reaching for my arm.“You made it!” Evelyn—she had insisted I call her that—pulled me inside. “Come on, come on in.”I handed her the flowers, and she thanked me with a smile. We walked past Eve.

    -EVE-FLASHBACKIt was my grandfather’s funeral. It was the first time I met Janet. Yet, in her living room, she blamed my mother for my grandfather’s death.“You did this,” She said. Her voice carried. “Your drinking. Your scenes. And now you want to take my granddaughter.”“I want what's best for Eve,” Mom said.“Best?” She laughed. “You can't keep a husband. You can't keep a job. You think you can

    -EVE-The first week of the legacy planning was finally here, and Vanessa Kingston did not show up on Monday.For some unknown reason, we’d been paired to handpick the vendors for the event on Eleanor’s request.I was waiting in the Hotel King’s lobby—where Vanessa had said we would meet—for forty minutes before Ana found me. She was already talking about some vendor who had sent the wrong linen samples.“She’s not coming.” She said the moment I brought Vanessa up. “We were supposed to meet the decoration team

    -Dominic-I sat at my desk, tidying up the rest of my task for the day. Seb had left an hour ago after I told him to go home, and I preferred it that way. It was less noisy.The door opened without warning, and Uncle Jon walked in like he owned the place.A smirk tugged my lips, but I didn’t look up immediately. I kept my eyes on the document in front of me and said, “Uncle Jon, to what do I owe this visit?”“Don’t act like you’re in the dark,” he snapped.I finally lifted my head. “Then enlighten me.”His jaw tightened. “Investors are on my neck because of that stunt you pulled at the regatta.”A slow exhale left me. Of course.“What?” I leaned back slightly. “You mean the part where they generously donated to the winning team, and I exposed a cheating scheme that you’re part of?”“Don’t twist it.”I almost laughed. “I’m not twisting anything. Let the money go, Uncle Jon. You and your investor friends donated in public. First it was a fake hospital, now this. Tell me something.” I ti

    -Eve-“Miss Turner, your vitals are good. There are no signs of internal injuries. It’s a miracle you came out unhurt,” the middle-aged doctor explained.Sal had to leave for work early, and I’d spent the whole day in bed, every muscle aching like I’d actually been run over. I felt useless, like a t

How did she?“Funny story, she’s actually a model, she was doing a shoot at the clubhouse and I jokingly asked her to be my caddie.” He gestured for her

But I couldn’t care less.I caught my reflection in the glass window of a random store, red eyes, trembling lips. I barely recognized mysel
