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
Eve's POV During the closing hour, Liam wanted to drop me off at home as usual but I told him that I needed to call on my driver since that's why he was employed; and lately he hasn't been picking me up from work. We were together and we hugged passionately for some moment, he let go of me only when the driver came. I was unusually so excited, indeed being with someone you truly love makes you happy. Oh My God! I have a boyfriend! Even when I got home, Robert and Helen could notice that something was wrong. Though, I tried to hide it, just say Hi and go to my room but it didn't work on Helen. "You are smiling " She asked. I thought I just hid..so I forced myself to stop smiling and frown instead. "No, I didn't say you shouldn't smile. What is the good news? I'm all ears She asked me. "Uhmm..err" I scratched my hair.. searching for a lie she'll buy. "My father has recovered"I told her. At least, it's also part of the reasons why I'm happy. And the love
Eve's POV The next day, I put on the red bodycon gown that I bought earlier when I went to the supermarket, it matched well with the medium heels that I usually wear to the office. I also put on make-up and brushed up my eyelashes. Oh My God! I knew I was looking differently and stunning maybe because it's not my usual kind of dressing. I admired myself through the mirror, I looked so gorgeous, and the bodycon gown revealed a perfect shape that I didn't know I had. I smiled to myself, hung my small bag on my shoulder, and walked out of my room only to meet Mark on the way. "Whao Eve, I love your outfit" Mark complimented. "Thank you" I smiled cheerfully then allowed him to climb down the stairs then I went after him. "Is that you Eve?" Helen said as she came out of the kitchen "Your driver is here" She announced even before raising her head to look at me. "Oh My God" Her mouth dropped. "Don't flatter me. I am already flattered" I said. "Where did yo

We had alot of fun. Later, he suggested that it was time to drive back to the office but he drove pass the office instead. "Where are we going to Liam?" I asked him. "My place" He replied.."But...but.." "They can take care of themselves at the office. I'm the CEO afterall" He said with his hand over my neck and the other turning the steering. "Just say you are taking me to your place, so that I can work for you?" I asked him, sarcastically. "What Eve no, so that we can have some time together before you go back to that man's place" He said.. referring to his father as that man. "I know right" I sighed then r
Liam's POV We moved to the living room quietly while Mark was still waiting for a response from us. "You are right Mark" I told him. He smiled and glared at us again. "I love Eve" I added. "I love Liam too" Eve said slowly. Mark opened his mouth wide then finally mouthed 'Wow'. "But you are not gonna tell Dad right?" I asked him. "No, why will do that. I will not" Mark said. "I... I think I need to leave now" Eve picked up her bag and I escorted her to the door. "See you tomorrow Liam"she said to me. "Don't worry about anything at all okay? I would take of it" I told her; was about to kiss her on forehead but she moved away and left the house. I returned to meet Mark. "Mark. That's it. I just can't help it... I'm in love with Eve" I said picking up my shirt from the couch as I put it on. "Obviously, but despite the fact that she's still literally our step mom?" "Ew Mark, it doesn't sound good that way.

I said to him, blushing secretly. "Do you know that my brother actually loves when a girl dresses..." "Shiii" I shushed him. when I saw Helen coming out of the kitchen with a tray. "Why did you both stop talking as soon as I came in?" She asked, looking at the both of us suspiciously. Mark glared at me and I mouthed to him..: "She's not aware" "Nothing. Talking about random things"Mark answered Helen, who obviously didn't believe. "I'll like to know what that random stuff is all about" Helen said. "Oh is that for me?"

Eve's POV"Good morning Love" I already knew that he would be waiting for me... He gave me a hug which I accepted warmly and disengaged from him almost immediately. "What's wrong with you Eve?"He noticed. "I'm fine.." I said then went to sit down. He took the seat in front of me and said; "Don't Tell me you are fine when you are not" He said. I took a deep breathe in then let them all out and said; "it's nothing serious; your father has figured out the hanki panki games I'm playing with him" I told Liam. "About the pills?"He asked me.
