LOGINEVA'S POV
“What do you want?!!!”Clark yelled. “You don't have to yell…I'm standing right here with you.” I said. He took a deep breath and gazed at me. “What do you want Eva???” “I came here to apologize…I know what I did….” I didn't get to finish my statement when he walked back inside his room and slammed the door. I knocked several times and seeing as though he wasn't ready to open the door, I entered inside and was shocked to see him completely naked. “What the fuck is wrong with you!!!! Can't I have some privacy in my own room??” He asked in anger. I quickly turned around as I fidgeted nervously. “I am sorry….It wasn't my intention to walk in on you like this.” I said as I bit my fingers. I could feel him walking towards me and when he got behind me, I felt so nervous knowing that he was still naked. “It wasn't your intention to slap me In the plane and it wasn't still your intention to walk in on me naked….what is your intention Eva??” “w…what…d..do..you mean??” I asked nervously as I stuttered. I felt his warmth as he stood behind me so closely and my stomach churned in desire. The urge to turn around and kiss him, telling him to have his way with me filled my head but I couldn't turn around. “What is the real reason you came into my room, sister in law.” He whispered into my ears sending cold shivers down my spine. “I came here to apologize for what I did on the plane…it wasn't my intention and I am sorry.” I said, still fidgeting nervously. “Why did you slap me??” “Because you called me a slut and you were being a jerk.” I blurted out. “But aren't you??” He asked, further aggravating my anger. “I am not a slut…you know what, coming here to apologize was just stupid…goodnight Clark.” I said. As I was about walking away, Clark spinned me around and this time, I was head on with him staring deeply into his head and trying so hard not to look down. He held my waist and I could feel his hard on poking me as gulped repeatedly. “C..c…can..y.. you…please..p.put…on.s…so..some…clothes??” I stuttered. “Does my nakedness bother you Eva??” “No…I mean yes.” I said. I didn't know what games Clark was trying to play with me but I just wanted to run away from his room as quickly as possible. “No, yes??? Why are you confused??? It's either a yes or a no.” He said in almost a whisper. “Yes, please put on some clothes.” I said. “Your wish is my command.” As soon as he detached himself from me, I instantly closed my eyes, earning a chuckle from him. “Are you done??” I asked as my eyes remained shut. He remained silent for a few minutes and then I slowly opened my eyes. He was seated at the corner of his bed and was on his laptop fully clothed. “Oh thank the heavens.” I exclaimed quietly. “Are you done with your apology??” He asked without taking his eyes off the laptop. “Yeahh…I mean no…I am sorry for slapping you and it wasn't my intention to even though the slap was necessary.” He raised his eyebrow as he gazed at me. “Even though the slap was necessary??” He asked. “Look, you and I both know that calling me a slut was uncalled for and I reacted in the way any other girl would react if she were in my shoes.” “Eva, did you hear me calling you a slut??” He was trying to manipulate his way out and I wasn't going to allow that to happen. “You insinuated it.” “I insinuated it??” “Will you stop repeating whatever I am saying to you?” I blurted out in anger. “I accept your apology….you can leave now.” He said as his eyes traveled back to his laptop. I was supposed to be happy and just walk away because he accepted my apology but I stood there staring at him like my legs were glued to the ground. “I accepted your apology sister in law, you can leave my room now.” The right thing to do at that moment was to walk away but I had no idea why I still stayed there staring at him like I wanted something. He looked up from his laptop and stared at me coldly. “Do you need something??” He asked. “Why are you staring at me that way Clark?? It's making me uncomfortable.” “What exactly is the color of your problem Eva???” “What??” I said in confusion. “You walked into my room without getting any permission from me to do so and then you shove your apology up my throat which I accepted by the way…..and now you won't leave??” I didn't even understand the color of my own problem. For some weird reasons, I just wanted to be close to Clark…I didn't feel like going back into my room and I knew that was a bad thing. “Look Clark, I am really sorry for what I did okay….I crossed the line and I promise it won't happen again.” “I am angry anymore….I have forgiven you Eva…okay??? Now can you please give me some privacy ???” I didn't know what to do anymore….I just turned around and walked away and as soon I got into my room, I cursed at myself for acting like a brainless person whenever I was with Clark. “Stay away from him, Eva…he is someone else's.” I said to myself. I stood up from the bed and went to freshen up so I could get a good sleep. After I was done and as I laid on the bed, my mind was still so unsettled knowing that Clark’s room was just a walk away from mine. I tossed and turned around restlessly as I tried fighting the urge to stand up and walk back to his room. After a few minutes, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I wanted him and I was going to have him regardless of the consequences. I stood up from my bed and as I opened the door of my room, I saw him standing there biting his lips. “Look Eva, I….” I cut him short by suddenly crashing my lips to his.CLARK’S POVThe room felt too small after Rachel’s words.Eva is engaged.I sat there, staring at my desk, my eyes unfocused. The broken pen lay between my fingers, ink slowly staining my skin, but I barely noticed. What made me more angry was the fact that she was extremely excited about the news which she just shared.Rachel was still standing in front of me, watching my face like she was waiting for permission to breathe.“Clark?” she called softly. “Did you hear me?”I looked up at her...as a matter of fact, I glared at her.She was still smiling….that polite, practiced smile she always wore in public.The one that said everything is fine, even when it clearly wasn’t.“You said Eva is engaged,” I replied slowly.“Yes,” she nodded. “Daniel proposed…Isn’t that… good news?”Good news.I stood up abruptly, my chair scraping loudly against the floor as Rachel flinched."Rachel??" "Yes baby." “Why are you still here?” I asked.Her brows furrowed. “I came to talk to you….About the
CLARK’S POVThe first thing I felt was anger.Not the loud kind but the quiet one that sits in your chest and burns slowly.Eva’s face kept replaying in my head as I walked out of the restaurant… the shock, the restraint, the disappointment. She didn’t yell, she didn’t cry as she simply chose herself.That hurt more than the water she poured on me and to be honest, I really didn't know what came over me.Seeing her together with that sorry excuse of a man she called her boyfriend made me extremely jealous and furious.I didn’t know where I was going when I stepped into the night. My phone buzzed several times…Rachel, my assistant, even my driver but I ignored all of it.Immediately Eva walked out of the restaurant, Rachel started her usual tantrums and I was definitely not in the mood for that and so I just got up and walked away. I walked until my legs hurt even when I knew very well I had a car and then I saw a bar.The sign flickered like it had lived a hard life, and something
EVA’S POVThe click of the bathroom lock echoed louder than it should have.I turned slowly, my heart pounding as Clark leaned against the door like he owned the space and maybe, in that moment, he did.He didn’t rush me.That was the dangerous part.His eyes travelled over me slowly, lazily, like he had all the time in the world. The corner of his lips lifted in a faint smile.The least I expected to enter the bathroom with me was Clark.…a female bathroom as a matter of fact was Clark.“What are you doing here Clark?? Get out!!!" "Why should I??”"Because first this is a female bathroom?? Are you a pervert??!!”"Oh trust me if I was a pervert you would know.”“Clark, what are you fucking doing here??!! Get out!!!" “So,” he said calmly, breaking the silence.“That’s the kind of man you choose now?”I folded my arms. “Open the door, Clark.”He chuckled softly. “You didn’t answer my question.”“Because it doesn’t deserve an answer.”He straightened and took a step toward me. “Dani
EVA’S POV"You are out of your damn mind!!”My heart was still racing when Clark said those words.“I am not Eva…I know what I want and I don’t want to marry Rachel anymore.”I stared at him like he had just spoken in another language.As much as I cared more than I should for Clark, there were some certain things that were never meant to be or happen as much as I badly wanted it.“Clark… no,” I said immediately, shaking my head. “You can’t say that.”He stepped closer. “I just did.”I took a step back. “You shouldn’t even be here saying this to me……you are to get married soon..what are you saying???.”“I had to.” he replied. “I’m tired of pretending.”“That doesn’t change anything,” I said firmly. “In fact, it makes everything worse.”He frowned. “Why?”“Because I finally realized how serious this is ” I said. “Your mother invited Rachel…That alone tells me this is bigger than feelings.”“My mother invited her but you came along!! And besides she doesn’t even like Rachel,” he
EVA'S POVI thought I was dreaming.That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw him on his knees in front of me.Daniel.My ex-boyfriend.The same man who once promised me forever and then disappeared from my life like I meant nothing. The same man who blocked me on every social media platform, ignored my calls, and pretended I never existed after breaking my heart.I blinked once.Twice.He was still there.“Eva,” he said, his voice breaking. “I still love you.”My heart pounded violently against my chest.For a brief second, I truly believed I had finally lost my mind. Maybe exhaustion had finally caught up with me or maybe loneliness had decided to play tricks on my heart.But when he reached out and held my hand, I knew this was real.I pulled my hand away immediately and suddenly burst into laughter.I was so sure that at that moment, I looked like a maniac laughing like that.“Why are you laughing Eva??? Are you that excited to see me??" “No,” I said sharply. “
CLARK’S POVThe trip ended quietly.Too quietly.No scandals..No headlines and no pictures.Just the kind of silence that follows chaos when everything looks calm on the outside, but something underneath is already cracked.As soon as we landed back home, I felt the weight return to my chest. Work waited, the wedding waited, Life waited.And Rachel followed.She didn’t even ask.I noticed her car behind mine the moment I left the airport. At first, I told myself it was a coincidence but by the third turn, I knew it wasn’t.When I finally pulled into my house and stepped out, she was already getting out of her car, arms folded, lips pressed tight.“What are you doing here, Rachel?” I asked, keeping my voice low.“I followed you,” she said plainly, like it was nothing.“That much is obvious.”She frowned. “Why are you talking to me like that?”“Because you had no business following me to a business trip.” I said sharply. “And you have no business following me home unannounced.”Her
