The Good Wife. THIRTY-FIVE
SinclairTwo more weeks passed by in a blur and despite the nagging headache that was too darn persistent, I was thinking of resuming the office today. I have left Evie with the company's responsibilities for far too long and even though she wasn't complaining, I was long overdue.I didn't tell Eve of my plans today, I wanted it to be like a surprise so I got up early to cook something special for everyone. I was on my way to the kitchen when the door bell rang. Who was it at this early hour of the morning?It only rang once and my curiosity got the better of me, I walked to the door and opened it but there was nobody there, instead there was a red envelope on the ground. That was strange…I looked around the area for the sight of anybody but when I saw no one, I picked up the envelope and went back inside.There was a seal on it that drew my attention and made my stomach drop in fear. A black seal with the alphabet “X” on it. It couldn't be…I made sure no one was close by then I

Eve “Hello, were you able to see it?” I asked the person on the other end of the phone.“Yes, but only half of it. It says Transfer of temporary ownership… something along those lines” she said.“Alright. Thank you, Jasmine, you did well” I replied and hung up the phone. I found it cute how Sinclair thought he could sneak into the office and I wouldn't know about it. I had eyes everywhere, so immediately he stepped out of the house, I was already tracking his movement.Jasmine had called me to inform me that he had just entered his office, and I instructed her to devise whatever means possible to see what he had come to take. She impressed me by getting the job done a few minutes later, and I just found out Sinclair went to take the transfer papers that were probably signed between him and my father. It was exactly what I wanted to see but how do I take it from him?I guessed my questioning yesterday had made him apprehensive and paranoid, so much so that he had to go retrieve those

SinclairI stepped out of the car and winced from the bright sunlight, almost blinding my eyes. The nagging headache had started again this morning; perhaps it was time I took aspirin for it. I looked at the precious company that I have been managing for more than five years. It has always been my number one priority but now I was starting to think that I made a mistake.I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Right now, I need to go get those papers in my office before Eve finds them. I couldn't risk the secret I was hiding for years from leaking out. I was ready to take it to the grave… I made a promise.I don't know how Eve heard about it, but her questions were a wake-up call, and with her inquisitive mind, it would only be a matter of time for her to find out everything. I couldn't sit around and let that happen. I walked into the building, avoiding conversations from the employees and heading straight to my office. I know Eve wasn’t in, I had left her at home to tend to my mothe

Eve “Oh, that's not yours, that's meant for Sinclair” I added in a considerably lower voice. I walked to Bill despite the suspicious stares I got and continued, “I added some soda water to it because Sinclair loves to drink red wine that way,” I lied, and carefully took the glass from him and handed him another one. Maybe I shouldn't have laced it when everyone was having a drink too, I thought, and took a mental note. I couldn't have this happen again. What if Bill and, worse still, Wilfred take it? No no no… I need to be more careful. I didn't want anybody to die on my hands, even if that person was Sinclair. I just needed him to be unable to fight back for the company for a short time while I transfer everything to my name.“Oh, yeah… that is true. Thank you for remembering, sweetheart” Sinclair replied after a few painful seconds. His reply seemed to whisk all their suspicions away and I subtly breathed out in relief. They all went back to their movie as if nothing had happened;

Eve I stepped into the office with Mr. Khalif, Blackwood, and Richard, and we all took our seats. I had already informed my secretary not to allow any visitors because I didn't want to be disturbed. I can't have anyone eavesdropping on our conversation.“So, the plan has been coming along smoothly yes?” I asked once we all settled in.“Yes it seems so, but we have to ask how your part in the plan is coming along, have you been able to gain Sinclair's trust?” Khalif asked.I smiled, “Well as you can see, I am here because Sinclair told me to temporarily take care of the company while he stays by his sick mother's side. If that doesn't scream trust, then I don't know what is,” I said proudly. “You are right. And that also means that it is time” Brando said with a knowing look. I nodded in response with a knowing look as well, I felt a creeping anxiety as I thought of what was to come.Brando shared a look with Khalif before bringing out a small-looking box from his suitcase. He placed

Eve A week passed by quickly and the doctor finally approved for Wilfred to be discharged to receive medical care at home.Sinclair was very thorough with her medical care; he hired a nurse to take care of her 24/7, and he purchased all the necessary medical equipment that she might need in a crisis, should she have one at home.“My son is so extra, isn't he? I mean, look at all that, his stuff, the room looks like a freaking hospital ICU.” Wilfred grumbled under her breath with a frown, but I could still hear her.I was escorting her to her room; which was moved downstairs for easy access, for some rest.I chuckled softly and replied as I observed the room setup, “He is just very worried about you…”“I know” she murmured without missing a beat.After getting her tucked in for a nap, I returned to my room to see Sinclair lying down to rest his head.“Is she asleep now?” he asked as soon as I stepped in but his eyes were closed.“Yes, she is. It didn't take long, as soon as she hit th
