Grand finale.Eve.Two years later.A double life sentence with no parole for the murder of nineteen year old fudger, attempted murder on Jason and I. Plus twenty years blackmail for on Sophie and Mark and perjury. That was Alice's sentence.The news broke out few months after Jason and I got married and I couldn't help but feel bad for her. But she brought it upon herself.I even heard that she has become insane and was transfered to a special mental facility where she was under surveillance twenty four seven and now she's like a soulless body only living for the drugs injected in her body.I guess that's why they say - Do things that make you happy within the confines of the law.Mark on the other hand, died. Apparently, he was a drug addict and the drugs were already affecting his immune system and since he couldn't no longer take them in prison, his health deteriorated and he ended up kicking the bucket. I sighed heavily as I was lost in thought until I heard my name being call
Eve's POVStanding on the altar dressed in an expensive wedding gown with your beloved husband is what most ladies wish for right? But mine was completely different.I never got the opportunity to wear an expensive wedding gown or at least a beloved husband by my side. I was standing next to the wrong man. A total stranger who did nothing but frown and glower.I wasn't wearing a white dress let alone an expensive wedding gown. I was dressed in a light red gown that my tailor made at the last minute. I didn't even get a flower bouquet, just a strand of flowers. "Do you, Eves Jameson, solemnly declare to take Jason Coleman as your lawfully wedded husband?”I stared straight at the officiant as he uttered those words I dreaded the most. I never imagined I would be getting married to a stranger I've barely known for a few days. I certainly don't accept James Coleman as my husband.I was silent for a few seconds. "Do you Eves Jameson solemnly declare to take Jame
Jack's POVAfter a few months of struggling to get a wife for the sake of my company, it was finally over! But I still found it hard to believe I'm finally married. I heaved a deep sigh before reaching for the duplicate of the marriage contract.I read through the marriage contract. I guess there were few things that needed amendment in the contract like the, “No sex rule.” I know the reason for our marriage is for an heir for the company but I don't love Eve and I will never think of having such an affair with her.I dropped the paper on my bed before laying down. I wondered how I'll face the clusterluck I had just created. I can't even hold a conversation with her. If not because of the shareholders, I wouldn't have been in such a mess.*Two months ago“Boss, are you ready? The shareholders are already waiting for you in the office.” Clinton said at the end of the phone.I stared at my wrist-watch. I was already late for the shareholders meeting."Get the c
Jack's POV"You heard me right. Marry me!” I retorted.The young lady kept staring at me. She was utterly speechless."Sir,I don’t think that’s right. I don’t even know you and this is our first meeting.” She said avoiding my gaze."Yeah, that is the only way you can pay back for this. The item you just broke costs about three million dollars. I bet you can never afford that.”“Three million dollars?!” She exclaimed.I nod my head.“I bet you can not afford that even if you work for two years.” I smirked.She clutched the tip of her gown tightly. She looked very nervous.“Is there no other option? I can’t marry you. I mean this is marriage, not a joke.” She lifted her head.I stared at her for a while. She was very determined not to accept my proposal but I knew something else that would work perfectly on her. Staring at her, I saw that everything she wore looked very cheap."You don’t want to marry me, right?” I smirked."Yes!” she replied in a cold voice.“Ok
Jack's POV I picked up my pen to draft out a few things that the marriage contract would contain.They include not interfering in each other’s personal life and also the “No sex rule,” and many other essential things.“Are you done now?” Clinton asked.“Yeah, make sure you get it ready before tomorrow. The wedding will be held tomorrow.”“Tomorrow?!” Clinton exclaimed.“Yeah, tomorrow.” I replied.I noticed that Clinton didn’t like the idea at all but I don’t care what he thinks as long as he keeps the process of my marriage a secret.We arrived at the place where Eve lives. The house was quite an old one. The ceilings and surroundings looked quite old.I stepped down from the car. Clinton led me into the house. Clinton had the gifts we bought for them in his hands.Clinton knocked on the door for a few seconds. An elderly man who happened to be Eve’s father opened the door.“Who are you?” Mr. Jameson asked."Uhm, this is Jason. The CEO of JASON TECH. We’re he
EVE’s P.O.VI felt my heartbeat increase as he held me in his arms. I quickly released myself from his grip and ran out of the bathroom. I headed to my room, quickly laying on the bed and covering my head in shame. I remembered the rules in our contract. We shouldn't have any physical contact, but we had already broken that rule on the first day. This was a bad sign. I shouldn't get close to him at all.A few minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" I wondered. I stood up from the bed and headed to the living room. Jameson had already opened the door for his grandmother, Grandma Nini. Our eyes met, and he had a furious look on his face as he glared at me. I hated it every time he stared at me that way."Ohh, who do we have here?" Grandma Nini smiled excitedly, giving me a hug."Grandma, you're welcome," I smiled as she hugged me tightly."Eve, go and make some food for her. You should have done that a long time ago!" Jameson glared at me."Is that how you talk
I sat down in the hall way as I thought about what had transpired in the last few days. I had gotten married to the man of people's dreams but not mine.Growing up, I've always pictured myself as someone like Merida from Brave. She stood up to her mother even if she had to turn her into a bear to prove her point on not getting married to a man she barely knew or even marriage in general. But ofcourse, I have nothing against my parents and definitely don't want to turn them into a bear or anything close to animals but I simply wished life wasn't this way.Unfair and painstakingly hard to the poor, growing up I never really pictured myself as Cinderella who gets saved by prince charming from her wicked step mother, I always wanted to be the savior, you know bringing us to bring us out of this sad and impoverished lifestyle and I did through Jason.I became Cinderella but I didn't find prince charming and now I still have to be a maid in my own home. I got up from the floor where I sat
We soon got to the hotel and checked into our room. It was a very big suite with about two rooms and the chandelier in the living room was very pretty but standing under it made me feel like it was going to fall so I made a mental note to avoid going through it and just go about it.As soon as we got to our suite, Jason changed into a black three piece suit and left. He didn't say anything to me, he just left without a word which was very rude but it's not like I expect anything from him. I just wish he could be a little polite and not act like a stuck up teenager all the time.Ding dong...I was admiring the living room when I heard the doorbell. I went up to the door and looked into the peek hole expecting to see an hotelier waiting to tell me about room service but I was surprised to see Jade at the door.I opened the door and stared at him in confusion."I bet you're wondering why I'm here." Jade began to explain."Well, yeah." I said quietly."Uhmm, so I'm actually an intern at J
