The Good Wife. FIFTY.
Eve Everyone went silent for a second as they processed the news in shock. The employees on my side were visibly surprised as well. Just a few days ago, they thought all hope was lost after our months of planning and strategizing. They must be wondering how I pulled it off in a few days, if only they knew.Once they regained themselves, they began clapping and cheering happily for the new dispensation.My heart warmed seeing them so happy. Sinclair wasn't a terrible boss, but he was strict and neglectful of the employees' feelings; he only cared about revenues. Some workers have been loyal to the company for decades with no promotion in sight, and some are struggling outside work with no one to help. I observed all this in the time I began working at the office, too. While I randomly helped where I could, I had given the impression that I was kinder and considerate than him. I was not deaf to the remarks and gossip around the office, I have heard some wishes that I should be the C

Eve“Eve, I am very sorry, I have no excuses for my actions. I got carried away by greed and forgot what was truly important, and that was you. You are what's important. And because I'm a fool I failed to realize that until recently. I fell in love with you, Eve, and I mean it, I love you. I wanted to make everything right, but I was also scared of your reaction. I didn't go about it correctly, and I'm sorry about that, too. If I had, then we wouldn't be in this mess. We can still talk this out, Eve, we can still fix this. I know you didn't kill my mother, Xander must have manipulated you. Untie me let's talk… please.” Sinclair pleaded with tearful eyes as he looked back at me. I watched him for a few more seconds, and I watched tears roll down his heartbroken, handsome face. And with a cold, hard look, I picked up the papers I had arranged beforehand and brought them closer to him. “It’s too late, Sinclair, I don't love you anymore. You have two options, you either sign every prop

EveI walked into the room with my head held high and the hardest expression on my face. I could see from my side view that Sinclair's eyes were on me but I spared him no glance as I came to sit beside Xander. “Evie…” I heard him call out in a low strained voice.My gaze turned sharply and I looked at him dead in the eyes before saying, “My name is Eve…” I could barely finish when he interrupted with a desperate look on his face. “Stay away from him, Evie. He's dangerous, please. You have no idea what he is capable of”Xander chuckled and replied, “Are you referring to yourself? Because you are the one tied up right now. Seems like you are yet to process what is actually going on so let me help you. Eve is with me and she is involved in the situation you are in right now, she saw through your bullshit all this time” “What? You liar, what have you been telling her” he roared and then turned to me and his gaze visibly softened, “Eve baby, don't believe a word he says, he's a liar and

Sinclair I checked the time out of habit, it was 6:34 pm. I was expecting Eve by 7:15 pm, so there was still plenty of time. I was at the lake house in Minnesota, a private property I acquired for a little getaway once in a while. I had planned one for the weekend with Eve, she deserved it after holding down the company for weeks when I was absent. It was also the last time we might spend together because I planned on telling her the truth too. At the thought of how hurt she would feel, my heart constricted and I sipped my glass of wine to calm myself. It was now or never, I couldn't postpone it any further than this.X's warning a few days ago came to mind, he was the one who released that information to the press. It was a warning to keep my end of the deal and I got so worried that he might have gone for Eve that I called the office to check. It was then that one of the board directors told me about the investor problem and the agreement. Luckily, I was able to step in in time b

EveWith the way he said it, I knew he was putting Khalif in a corner; if he disagreed, that would make him look suspicious. If Sinclair became the investor then all our hard work would be reduced to nothing. If the deal works, he'll benefit and if it doesn't, he gets everything back. I was shaking from rage at how he just came in and ruined everything but I had to remain calm on the surface. “Yeah sure, whatever works. I only offered to help after seeing y'all in distress” Khalif waved it off and relaxed into his seat nonchalantly.It was the ideal reply but I was fuming inside that we had to be complacent. We looked helpless even after months of planning and creating strategies, I could feel everyone's disappointment as well. So much was put into this, Sinclair was going to pay dearly.The meeting pretty much closed after that, and people approached Sinclair with a welcome back to work handshake. It took a few more minutes for the room to be empty so I could talk with Sinclair priv

EveBrando slammed his hand on the table and yelled, “I do not want to invest anymore, what part of that do you not understand?” He looked irritated and upset.“Mr Brando, please calm down, let us explain to you. You cannot believe the news so easily without verifying” I answered in a calm tone. We were in the board meeting with board directors, Brando and Khalif. Brando's acting was so perfect I was impressed, we just needed to act a little bit more so we didn't raise any suspicions… Sinclair could have eyes watching.“Pardon me, Mrs Eve, but in every nonsense there is sense somewhere. News outlets wouldn't just pop out such allegations with no tip or a lead. Your father was a great friend to my father and they partnered together for decades. It was why I continued partnering with the stone capital even after Mr Sinclair took over because I trusted your father's discernment. To hear that Mr Sinclair treated you badly for years and you endured it was already getting me irritated. But
