Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 73
Eve’s POV Under normal circumstances, I would have handled him with a firm but diplomatic phone call. But under current circumstances, I was less inclined to be diplomatic."Put him through to my line. I will deal with him directly.""Are you sure? I can try to stall him again.""No. He needs to hear from me that the contract terms are not negotiable. If he wants to take his business elsewhere, he is free to do so, but I am not going to let him hold the company hostage because he thinks I am distracted by personal matters."Priya nodded and transferred the call. A moment later, Walter Simmons's voice boomed through my laptop speakers."Mrs. Cresswell. Finally. I have been trying to reach you for three days.""I am aware, Mr. Simmons. I understand you have concerns about the contract.""Concerns is putting it mildly. We have been loyal clients of Lovelace Industries for over twenty years. Your mother understood the value of that relationship. She would never have treated us this way."
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 72
Eve’s POVThe shattering of glass against the kitchen floor sent me bolt upright on the couch, my heart slamming against my ribs before my eyes were fully open. For one terrible moment I was back in the parking garage with a chemical-soaked cloth pressing over my mouth and the sound of my keys clattering on concrete. Then I heard Devin's voice, calm and apologetic, drifting through the apartment."It was just a bowl. I dropped a bowl. Everything is fine."I pressed my hand to my chest and waited for my heartbeat to slow down. It took longer than it should have. The pregnancy had made everything feel closer to the surface, every startle response sharper, every moment of peace more fragile. A bowl breaking in the kitchen should not have sent me into a spiral of panic, but these were not normal times and I had not had a normal night's sleep in over a week.Devin appeared in the doorway with a dish towel in his hands and a rueful expression on his face. He was wearing jeans and a faded sw

Eve’s POV "Who placed her there?" Devin asked, though I think we both already knew the answer. "Martin Lovelace. I have spent the past twenty-four hours reviewing every document and record I could find related to Lydia's background and employment history. The professor who gave her a primary reference, a man named Harold Becker, is not merely a former teacher who thought highly of her academic work. He is Martin's cousin. They grew up together in the same town, attended the same schools, and have maintained a close relationship their entire lives. Harold Becker was the one who personally recommended Lydia for the position in my office, vouching for her character and her qualifications and her trustworthiness. Martin has been planning this infiltration for years, Mrs. Cresswell. He placed a mole inside my office specifically to monitor the will and report back to him on every development." The room fell into a profound silence. I could hear the soft hum of the air conditioning sy

Eve’s POV The message was brief. She could not protect you either. The words hit me like a physical blow, driving the air from my lungs and leaving me gasping. My mother. The car accident. The tampered brakes that the mechanic had found and documented and that my father had ignored. Martin had killed her, or had her killed, and now someone was using her memory, her precious heirloom, her own name, to threaten me and my unborn child in the most vicious way imaginable. I set the rattle down on my desk with exaggerated care because if I did not place it gently I was afraid I might throw it against the wall and watch it shatter. My hands were shaking badly now. Priya was watching me with wide eyes, her professional composure finally crumbling in the face of something so far beyond normal workplace boundaries. "I am calling Mr. Cresswell right now," she said, reaching for her phone. "No." My voice c
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 69
Eve’s POVI slept poorly the night before the security team arrived, my dreams fragmented and dark, filled with images of my mother's face and the sound of a baby crying somewhere I could not reach. Devin held me through it, his arms wrapped around me in the darkness, his voice a steady murmur against my hair. He told me everything would be alright, that we would find whoever sent the letter and make them pay, that our child would be born healthy and loved and protected from all the darkness that had plagued my family for so long. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to sink into his certainty the way I had learned to sink into his embrace, trusting that he would catch me if I fell. But the fear was a cold knot in my stomach that would not loosen, and when I finally drifted off near dawn, I dreamed again of my mother's handwriting on those yellowed letters and the terrible knowledge that she had seen her death coming and been powerless to stop it.The security team arrived at seven o'c
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 68
Devin's POVThe letter sat on the coffee table between us like a live grenade, its words still echoing in the silence of the apartment. I had read it seven times now, and each reading revealed nothing new except another layer of cold, calculated menace. The phrasing was careful and precise, almost clinical in its cruelty, as if the author had drafted and redrafted each sentence to maximize the psychological damage while leaving no trace of their identity.I called Marguerite at six in the morning. She answered on the second ring, her voice alert despite the hour. Marguerite Chen was not a woman who slept late or was caught unprepared. She had been the executor of the Lovelace estate for over twenty years, and in all that time she had never once been surprised by the depths of human greed and cruelty. I suspected this would not be the exception."Mr. Cresswell," she said when I explained what had happened. "I'll be there within the hour. Don't touch the letter again. There may be foren
