Female lead's POV "You really need to fill your kitchen with more and varieties of foodstuffs. At first, I didn't even know what to start with but I eventually found what to cook" I told him as I set his dining table. "That's so sweet of you. Now don't tell me you are leaving very soon just because you are done cooking?" Liam said. "Oh then what else should I do? Bath you?" I teased and he laughed.. "And cuddle me to sleep if possible" He added. "Huh?" 'Cos I was only joking around."Get..get something to eat for yourself too; we both returned from this tiring work at the same time" He changed the subject immediately. "Before you even say" I sneered then got myself a plate of the meal.. sat in front of him on the dining table. We are silently but I noticed he was stealing glances at me, maybe because I was staring at him, that's how I noticed. "What is it again Liam?" I just had to ask. "Because I am looking at you means I wanna request for something?" He re
"Now tell me, where are you coming from?" Helen blocked my way from coming in."But the driver just brought me here" "And I also know that you can call him whenever you are ready" She replied; "So tell me why are you just coming?" "Is Mr Maya around?"I whispered to her. "Hell no! You and him are acting like one cheating couple, he is not back and look at you too, you are just coming...you know I have been suspecting you since yesterday " She said and I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, you are right. I have a boyfriend " I said jokingly so that she stop blocking my way and it worked. So I ran up the stairs quickily "I knew it! Who is he?" She asked me. "I would let you know when the time comes" I hollared. "Oh My God Eve" "Gist me about Mr Maya instead" I told her when we got to my room. "That man, he woke up at exactly 10am.." She said and I laughed. "He asked of you and I told him, you have left for work...you need to see the way he was just perambulati
Liam's POV I sat down in my office; going through the files Eve's sent me earlier. I did that blearily because I was so bored and tired although we have just returned from recess earlier. I dropped the files and pen to have some rest then continue later instead I was stealing glances at Eve..who was busy typing something. I smiled; then I remembered last night, what made me think of Eve while I was lying to Clara that I have found someone better... Of course, Eve is by far better that Clara. Recalling why called me, made the sweet smile on my face switched into a frown. "I don't ever want to have anything with her even if she apologises one million times" I hissed. She broke my heart and didn't even bother to check up on me. And when she called last night, I actually thought that she already had a change of mind or something, only for her to tell me that she is inviting me her wedding party. What a joke! I tried to cast my mind away from Clara; as I focus m
He drove him home and pulled his brake when we were already close to the mansion gate. So I didn't have to call Andrew. "You are really not upset with me?" He asked me again just as I was about to get off his car. I shook my head and forced a smile. "Alright, bye dear" He said and I watched him drive away before entering the gate. Robert sighted me before I could even click on the gate bell. "What happened to Andrew?" He asked as he let me in. "I didn't call him because..a colleague drop me off.." I lied to Robert. " But I would let him know" I said. "What happened to you?" He asked, looking at my face. "Not...thing" I replied already walking into the house. I didn't bother saying Hi to Helen whom I knew that she was in the kitchen..as usual. I ran upstairs till I got to my room. Immediately I entered, I rushed to the mirror to look at my lips.. suddenly the whole scene recapped into my head that I didn't know when I let out a very loud scream. Mark an
Eve's POV "Good morning" Good morning" I waved at the other staffs as I headed to my office only to meet Liam standing there, with his hands on his waist.I froze; as I recalled yesterday. "Good Morning " He waved to my face smiling. "Good...good morning " I stammered and I headed to my seat. "I was expecting you" He said. "Why?" I asked him. "Just because. Damn! You have a lot of work to do" He said whacking the books on my table. "I would be expecting you in my office then.." He said and moved away when he got to his door.He turned back and said. "I just don't know why I love to see you around me" With that, he left. "Tell me you like me instead and stop joking indirectly with my feelings" I mumbled as I switched on the computer and began to work. Suddenly my phone beeped, I picked it up only to find out that it was from a strange number. ~"Hello" I said into it, after picking it up. ~"Am I speaking to Mrs Eve? I'm Doctor Thomas This nu
*** "He is awake" I told Liam. Ever since the doctor had permitted us to go into the ward; after the surgery was done... I have been staring at my father..and he just opened his eyes. "Eve" My Dad tried to speak and I held his hand. "You can't sit yet sir" Liam said to him when he tried to sit upright. "Eve, how is your husband?" My father asked. "Don't call him my husband" I frowned. "Mr Maya.." He wanted to say but I interrupted him. "This is Mr Maya's son; Liam" I introduced. "Do you feel okay?" Liam asked him and he nodded. "I'ld excuse you and your father now" Liam said and left the ward. "Dad" I fondle with his finger as I began to weep again secretly. "I have not seen Mr Maya around, and how have you been?" He asked me. I wiped my face and forced a smile.. "I am fine Dad, as you can see" I lied; "Mr Maya..he told son to come here with me. Mr Maya has really been a good man" "I told you, you won't regret getting married to him" My Dad said touc
The next morning, I informed Helen that I was already leaving for the hospital because Liam just called me on the phone and that he was waiting outside the gate. I actually told him not to come into the house because I knew that he was definitely gonna cause trouble with his father. Speaking of his father, Mr. Maya... I met him in the living room when I climbed down the stairs. "How is your father?" Mr. Maya smiled as he spoke to me. It's obviously a very wicked smile. I didn't want to speak with him, instead, I looked at him with hatred and disgust. "C'mon Eve, Why did I then give you a job if you don't wanna cater for your family by yourself. I still kept my promise after all" He came closer to me and put his hands on my shoulder which I slowly took them off and spoke coldly; "Mr. Maya, I'm in no mood for jokes... I'm visiting my father today" I told him. "Oh yeah, you need to do that quickly, get back to your usual self then we can have some time for oursel
Eve's POV The doctor assured us that my father will be well taken care of and he told us to leave since there's something we needed to attend to ~ like work. He promised to inform me whenever it's time to discharged my Dad, nevertheless; we could still check up on him. Which I'm definitely gonna do. Liam drove the two of us to the office and he wouldn't stop smiling while I was nervous about what's gonna happen to us ~ regarding the stepmom and son stuff.. "Yes, I like you too and I'll let it remain like that " I said; yeah the least we can do is to let it remain at the point of 'Like', we can also lie to ourselves that the feelings we are having is a mere family bond. "Wanna know why I am so happy?" He asked me instead.. "Why?" I murmured. "Because I fell in love again shortly after Clara left me" He responded. What? Love? I cleared my throat nervously and rested my head on the car window. "I know what you're thinking" He said, I sighed and looked at him
