Tuning into the perfect music, Eve had her bath ready at the right temperature, not too cold, not too hot. She needed wine and she got it. She had to run some errands with Seth this morning but she first had to relieve herself. She longed for it, she yearned for it. Tying her hair in a bun, she ran her fingers inside the water, taking in the comfort she got from the water temperature. Her vibrator plugged into the wall beside her bathtub, she entered it. Eve let out a loud hum as she buried herself inside the water. She briefly submerged herself deeper down, resurfacing as her face dripped. Swinging her hands to the side, she picked up her glass of wine and took a sip. Eve smiled, savoring the taste. She soon emptied the glass, and went for a second round. As Eve closed her eyes, Seth's picture appeared. Letting out another comforting smile, she relaxed completely, placing her head backward, and parting her legs as she prepared for action. She opened her eyes in hopes of erasing the
****************( SETH'S POV )Eve was still shaken, her dazed state was so loud that Seth could see it. It was surprising for him to experience because, within the short frame of time he'd spent with Eve, he'd never seen her like that. He'd never seen her look phased, moved. He even noticed a hint of fear in her eyes.After both cars had been brutally taken from them, he was also shocked that Eve didn't call for help or asked him to. Seth didn't call the police or asked for help either, he merely remained where he stood and studied Eve.She was crutched to the bare ground, sitting on it. She backed him, so he couldn't completely see her face. Seth wanted to see her face so badly that he moved to the side a little bit just to have a partial side view of her.Her eyes were closed. What was she doing? or thinking about? Her lips were partially open. Her fingers closed tightly on the floor. It was a strange and unexpected sight for Seth to see and he was heavily invested with what he wat
As Eve walked into her house, she locked the door shut behind her and slouched to the ground directly at the back of the door. Her house gave her the cold and sharp welcome as always. The stale but trenchant wind hit her, just like it normally does.Eve let out a sharp bowl of wail, the air broke into different layers as her scream hit it. She proceeded to covering her face with her shaky hands as her scream transgressed into vibrating sounds. She crawled up the stairs and into her room.Still crawling, she located her secret chamber Inside her closet and unlocked the iron door. Inside, there was a section where she hoarded different guitars of vast colors and shapes. Then, to another section, near a wall, had broken guitar pieces on the floor. That was her guitar demolition point.Eve dived one unfortunate guitar from the others and went to demolition point. She began to scream as she smashed it fiercely on the wall. She didn't stop until the guitar was completely destroyed.When it w
*******************Eve later excused herself to use the restroom, it was also a ruse to get Joel to look at her. She didn't expect or want him to follow her, because first, his wife was present and Eve was not in the mood for some bathroomvities as she called it. It's not like she would have had sex with him, but she had to give him that impression.Eve left the toilet to meet a cast of reporters and cameras at their table. They were taking pictures and querying the occupants. Eve knew at that point that the social gathering was almost over, and it was the round for the media to do their thing." Eve Rivera... " A woman who looked to be in her late forties or early fifties called her.Eve arched brow to the woman who looked very advanced, experienced and seasoned. Plus, it had been a while, she wanted to see the image of her franchise, through the media." Judging by how Brute winery has been scaling through the years, is it safe to say that it has not been easy being boss? you know,
******************" Seth, " Alicia, Seth's younger and only sister called him, but Seth wasn't answering. Even though he sat next to her at dinner." Seth? " She called again, and when he didn't respond, she yelled, " Seth! "Seth shook, " What? " he was lost in thoughts that he failed to hear his sister's calling." What do you mean by what? I've been literally calling you for a while now. "" Oh... I'm sorry about that.... I was deep in thoughts. "" What are you thinking about anyway? " Alicia was genuinely concerned.Seth turned back to make sure their mother wasn't walking down the stairs." You promise not to tell mom? "Alicia groaned, " How many times have I told you that what you're doing at brute is safe with me? I'm not telling mom... "" Are you sure? "" You think if I have told her, she'll be quiet about it? "" Mom's really good with keeping things to herself, so yeah... "" Seth listen to me, " Alicia took his hand that was on the table, " I haven't told mom a single s
*******************Seth has never been that awkward In his life, and it was all thanks to the fact that he'd discovered the truth about Eve Rivera. As he stood in front of the building gathering his thoughts inside a jar, he didn't realize how bogus his mind was.How was he going to look at her? Was it a good idea to talk to her about it? It definitely won't be a good idea to talk about her dead parents. Seth began thinking about the whole scenario again, he couldn't believe it.So that night, she was escaping the same home her parents were murdered in? No wonder she looked extremely sad and in shambles. Was that why the present day Eve became a beast, who seem to lack human sympathy? it could be that the death of her parents changed her. Because the girl he met that night, and his boss were two different people, in terms of personality.******************" Did you leave your soul at home? "Eve was next to Seth, who was so lost in thoughts that he didn't see her approach him. He tre
*******************Seth immediately took his hands off hers, the stare was getting so contagious that even Cindy was getting caught up in it.Eve didn't like how her body reacted to Seth's touch. It was something more than the basic attraction, it was deep." Know.... know your place.... " Eve stuttered.Seth instantly turned to Cindy who was standing dazed. He placed his arms around her shoulder and playfully swung her, facing the door. Eve didn't know why she was uncomfortable with him touching her.Seth was able to surface a jovial front as he effortlessly smiled at Cindy. " Have you had water to drink this morning? "Cindy arched a brow, " Water? "" Your face seem too dry, you should get yourself something to drink. " He walked with her out of the office.Eve just sat there in silence, thinking about why she was finding it difficult to condone Seth holding Cindy. Or why Seth kept on approaching her in personal ways, and why it had such an effect on her.*****************" Are yo
Eve laced a sharp eye at Seth, who was busy trying to get a tough look at Michael." You didn't knock. " She told him." I'm sorry, the door was open. " Seth was still looking at Michael." Well can you leave us alone? I would like to speak to her privately? " Michael petitioned.Seth causally took a seat, he didn't want to leave." It's about business right? I think I should be here. " He folded his arms and crossed his legs.Michael gave Eve a condensed look while raising one brow. She knew for sure what he had come to discuss.Eve turned to her stubborn assistant. " Seth please leave us alone. "Seth was busy getting comfortable, " So, is this about the new line? or you have other business to discuss? "Michael threw a scorn at him.Seth took notice of it, " So you're not here to discuss business then? "" Seth! " Eve clapped her hand on the table, that it startled Seth. " Don't! " Eve tried calming herself. Never in her life had she had to put up with someone who didn't obey her ev
