She wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks. Her clear vision was beginning to find its way back to her. She heaved a deep sigh and cleared the strands of hair that were covering her face.To hell with the job and the hate club. All that mattered was her sanity and she wasn't going to lose it to some revenge shit."I wish I never met you," she stated.From her tone, Henry could read that she had stopped crying. Again, he didn't speak. It was the tenth time she was telling him that she wished she hadn't met him that day."You can go ahead and shut the fuck up. I don't care about your or the damn job. I'm quitting." she maintained.Henry's eyes widened in surprise. He saw the venting part coming but never imagined that she was going to quit. He thought she'll be forced to stay no matter the odds because she needed the huge pay.Maybe she was still drunk and he mistook the firmness in her voice earlier."Stop saying such a thing Eve," he replied, determined to get her home so she could r

He strode to the reception and traced his way to the care unit where a petite nurse attended to the cut on his left palm. She covered the injury with plaster and was about to administer a painkiller to Henry when he fled toward the theatre.He stood outside the theatre and paced for about ten minutes before the door to the room was pulled open. The surgeon came out with a victorious smile and Henry sighed in relief for the first time since the accident."She's stabilised. We needed to operate on her because her head sustained a deep cut but right now, she's out of danger." The surgeon reported.Henry gave a half smile. He felt as if a load had been lifted off his chest. "Can I see her?" he tried to peep into the theatre room.The surgeon took off the mask covering his nose. "I'm sorry you can't. She'll be transferred to a private ward in a moment.""Can I see her once she had been transferred to the ward?" demanded the impatient Henry."I understand why you want to see her but there

After Dialing Mr Bloom's number the second time, the man finally picked up the call. Dane cleared his throat loudly and spoke."Good evening sir.""Henry?"This isn't Henry Richards but his bodyguard Dane. There's a problem sir and I'll need you to stay calm." He imagined the expression Eve's father was displaying at that moment and continued speaking."Mr Richards and his assistant Eve, your daughter were involved in an accident." He heard Mr Bloom gasp. "An accident?""A minor one sir." he quickly added. "It was a minor accident and they are currently in a hospital," he said.Dane's ears began picking up murmurs and soft wails from the background which were coming from Eve's mom and her sister."Is my daughter okay? Which hospital is that and can I talk to her?" asked Mr Bloom.Dane could sense the distress in the man's voice.He sighed and stood up. "I'm sorry sir but you can't speak to her at the moment because she's undergoing some tests but I assure you, she's stable and once

Henry gave Dane the look that says 'I told you, we should have remained in the hospital.' He parted his lips and wanted to speak when Dane hushed him by placing a finger on his lip.Henry turned away with a frustrated sigh. "Listen Olivia." Dane continued as he wheeled the Jeep toward the mansion. "This is not the time to be insensitive. I need you guys to tell me where you are.""You don't have any right to tell me what to do." Olivia retorted. I called you so you could know that even if you abandon Eve, other people will always be there for her.Henry threw his head back in frustration. He knew that soon, all fingers would point to him."Stop being Childish!" Dane fired and turned to stare at Henry after he commented.Had he gone far? He doesn't know how to handle women and Olivia was pissing the hell out of him.They heard Olivia gasp through the phone speaker and they knew she was going to rain down curses at them soon. They got to the mansion. Dane drove to the garage and pulled

She unapologetically stared at the damaged phone on the floor and shifted the hard gaze back to Henry. "You son of a bitch."She charged toward the stunned Henry and wanted to grab him but Dane quickly intervened. He rushed toward her and grabbed her from behind. She tried to free herself from his grab but couldn't. He was too strong for her.Henry was taken aback by Olivia's violent reaction. Yes, he had expected her to flare up and scream at him from the way she was sounding pissed on the phone earlier but the violent outburst was what he didn't see coming.The raging Olivia began sending repeated slaps on Dane's hands as he took steps backwards. She went on screaming and hitting him. "Let go of me you son of a bitch. I need to teach your boss a lesson," she yelled.Henry placed his back against the wall. Was she going to attack him? Couldn't she admit that he was admitted? His headache returned and the continuous scream from Olivia made him feel. as if his head was going to explode
