Eve's POV I woke up very early the next day; I'm already fond of it. Haven had my bathe, I put on a casual gown, it was at the same time looking kinda official. I viewed myself through the mirror and smiled as I admire my beauty. Yes I know I'm beautiful, it's probably not obvious because of the struggles I have been through. "Oh, God! I'm really doing this" I said to myself and smiled a little bit. I could sense that Liam was awake too because I could hear a slow and solemn music playing out from his room and I could also hear Mark speaking to someone on phone. I went down the stairs to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast like I'm supposed to do so. Anyways, It didn't take me so much time. While I was still setting the table; Liam walked downstairs. Looks like he is indeed ready for work too. He was dressed in a suit and looked really corporate. "Good Morning Liam" I said to him. He nodded his head; examining what I was doing... "Morning " He final

Eve's POV Rather than to apologize, What else can I do? I bow my head a little and told them that I am sorry but looks like, they didn't have my time. I let them be then I returned to my seat...trying to concentrate on the monitor but Liam and Clara were still right there, embracing themselves inseparably. "Come on" It was Clara who disengaged from him first. "Didn't you say that you were busy and I shouldn't come see you yet?"Liam asked her and she smiled and tucked the fallen hair strand to the back of her ear. " Just because.. I wanted to give you a surprise" Clara responded. Liam wouldn't stopped smiling, he held her hand and intertwined it with his. "Look at you Clara, you are looking so pretty, I just can't believe that you look really different and I...I.."He covered his mouth in astonishment... Sweet words couldn't describe how he felt at that now. He just wanted to be in her arms again. " You are not looking bad as well Liam.." Clara blus

Eve's POV "Helen!" I hollered her name as soon as I entered the house. "Hi Helen" Liam said to her sheepishly then he climbed the stairs. "Helen!" I exclaimed again but this time around, giving her hug. "I'm happy for you Eve" She said. "I guess Robert has told you about it" "Yeah! Oh My God! Managing director? How much is your salary and how did you do it Eve?" She asked. "Oh, not managing director. Something happened Helen but to cut the long story short, I'm working for Liam as his secretary" I told her."Oh My God, isn't that amazing? I feel you are so lucky Eve" She said. "Lucky? No Helen, don't use that word." I corrected her as I climbed the staircase to go to my room but she followed me behind. "So what happened next?" "Work of course" "I also heard Mr Maya got you a new phone" "Well... I'm sorry I didn't let you know I had none" I told her as we entered into my room. It was neat and arranged. This wasn't the way I left it t

Why did I knock on his door? "Uughh... I..you... I..uugh" I stammered, murmuring all sort of nonsense. Now, where do I start from? "Go away" He said about to close his door... Oh Good! I should return to my room quietly. "Liam" I swear, I didn't know when I mentioned his name. I guess my emotion is faster than my action. "What is it?" He opened the door again and asked me. Please Liam, just lock your door already and leave me alone because I really don't know what has taken over me right now and even made you to open the door for me? Okay, he didn't know I was the one knocking at first. "Uhmm...can I come in please?" I asked him...giving him a pitiful stare. He was looking at me too, at least; it was no more a stern look...his eyes were now clouded with tears again and I could see that he was holding back the tears. "Do you want to console me as a stepmother or... " He paused and cleaned his wet eyes with his bare hands but the tears freely flow

Eve's POV "Eve I am very sorry for how I have treated you" He said, avoiding to look at my face. This is unusual and it's making me really nervous. "Actually I wanted..uhm.. to apologise yesterday when it suddenly thought of it that you are only a young girl struggling to make ends meet plus you're very worried about your life, your Dad..but..but you just fell into the wrong hands; My Dad" He paused and summon up courage to look at me. "I yelled at you and I even hated you for no particular reason but guilty conscience is eating me up gradually" "It is...It's Okay" I told him. "No, it's not... I wanted to make you know I didn't mean any of the insulatives words I said to you, so I tried to uhm..talk to you in the car yesterday" He said. "Liam.." I cut in but he continued. "Yet I findit really difficult to apologize that is why I said made a statement that! 'If anyone else finds out about it, they will surely react the same way I reacted to you or even more
