The Good Wife. FORTY-TWO
Sinclair “Mr Arnold, my wife is not just anybody so please remember that. I trust her with my life and I know whatever decision she makes will be the right one. With that being said, please direct us on where to sign so you can be on your way.” My frown had deepened, and my voice was firm to show I was being dead serious.No one can insult my wife, whether directly or indirectly; I will not tolerate it.After my mom's death, I have been thinking of how short and scary life is. One minute you are there and one minute you are not. I have been jealously protecting my position, but it was all meaningless in the grand scheme of life. I imagined it was me who died, Eve would have nothing and struggle alone in this cruel world since she was not aware of the contract I signed with her father. I couldn't show her the documents now because that would bring up a lot of questions, but if I could make her a legal guardian and sign a prenup, then she would get something to go by. It was my own wa

EveBefore I could blink, Sinclair had already crossed the corner to see me. I was wearing the pyjama shorts when he saw me. “Evie, what are you doing here and why are you changing your clothes?” he asked in confusion.I braced up and replied as casually as possible, “I couldn't sleep and thought I should see her grave, it was too chilly outside so I had to change into something better and I didn't want to disturb you either, that's why I came here to change” “Thank God it was just you. It would have been too awkward if it were your dad,” I added with relief and a dry chuckle.“Oh, I came down when I didn't see you. Are you feeling better now?” Sinclair asked in concern, which indicated that he bought my lie hook, line, and sinker.“These past few weeks have been too much, Sinclair. I don't think I can bear it anymore…” my voice broke in the end, while I completely changed, and I forced my eyes to go teary for a better effect. Sinclair sighed guiltily, came forward, and pulled me i

Eve“I’m sorry, Eve. Our dad never wanted us to meet and I thought I should still honor his wishes. Plus after Sinclair took everything back, he made sure to send people after me to completely silence me. I had no choice but to leave the country and try to get back on my feet. I struggled alone a lot, dearest sister, but the minute that I found out he married you, I was livid.I tried to interfere but Sinclair found out and sent people after me again so I could only watch in the shadows till I had enough to use in countering him. When I saw you trying to get your revenge on him, I was most pleased, and I vowed to make sure nothing stands in your way. It was perfect because he would never see you coming and I would be able to support you from the shadows. You are going to get revenge for both of us, Eve” he said.I was alarmed to hear that he knew so much, I thought my revenge plan was tight on secrecy. Or did Richard tell him?As if he could read my thoughts, he added after a short pa

Eve It took a week for me to decide I was going to see this mysterious X person. Aside from trying to keep the family together in mourning, the weight of my guilt pulled at me heavily. I wanted nothing to do with my revenge plan anymore, I was a murderer.Richard and the others didn't contact me again, as if they were very understanding to give me space or they knew I'd be back to resume what we started. It was that curiosity that led me to meet the X person, what could they possibly know that made them so sure?The card only had the name “X” and a phone number, and when I called, I was giving a hotel address to meet the next day at midnight.So after ensuring that Sinclair and his Dad were fast asleep, I stepped out and soon arrived at the meeting location. A worker was waiting outside for me, she led me to a private dining hall and I walked in to see a man in black suit and face covered in a facecap and mask.“I knew you would come, dearest sister” He spoke in a low but audible voi

EveA week later, the funeral party of Mrs Wilfred was being held at Sinclair's mansion. Sinclair had built a small house at the back of the mansion where her body would be buried. We were currently gathered around the building and the priest was saying a few words before she was taken in. We were all dressed in black and the atmosphere was solemn and sad.I heard Sinclair sniffle beside me and I placed my hand on his shoulder to offer my comfort. For the past week, Sinclair's has been in mourning. Friends and coworkers trooped in after the other to offer their condolences. So many nights, sleep refused to come while sometimes I woke up to Sinclair weeping and staring absentmindedly at nothing. As for Bill, he was barely at the house, always outside in the small funeral house where his wife would be laid to rest. He was quiet and withdrawn, I wasn't sure I had heard his voice for days.They both barely ate, and I couldn't either. Apart from what had happened in the kitchen, I didn't d

EveThe front door flung open with a bang, and Sinclair barged in, his eyes were red, and he looked extremely confused.I was on the ground in one corner of the room, wailing my heart out when he came in. He immediately noticed me, and he shook his head like he was telling himself no before rushing to his mother's room.I knew I needed to console him so I stood up and followed behind him. “Mum!!” he called out to her as soon as he entered the room. Bill was beside her body with his head bowed. When he raised his head up, I could see the redness in them, the hurt and loss too.A lump formed in my throat, and it was hard to breathe. How did we get here? How did I get here?I had blood on my hands now and I didn't know if I should turn myself in or keep the secret with me. Sinclair fell to her side and took her hand in his shakingly. For the first time, I saw tears pouring out of his eyes like a waterfall, he began wailing and calling out for his mother.“Mom, please get up, you aren't
