Slowly, the words flowed from Eve's brain, and she spoke them, "yes, it's mine." She had thought of denying it, of saying it was only a fake ID that she had used in the past.But there was no need, there was a picture of her family in that wallet, of days before she had drifted apart from them.And it wasn't going to be possible explaining why there were two identical girls holding hands as they smiled widely for the camera.Eve stared at the open wallet now, the different ATM and ID cards spilling out like her lies.It was all over."Wow, I...don't even know what to say." Eve looked upwards to the manager whose lips were trembling."I...I mean, I knew, I already found out, but hearing you confirm it. Wh... Since when? What happened to the real Ava? Did...did she die?"Wendy had stood and was pacing the expansive dining room.Eve watched her silently as she freaked out with so many questions, and waited till she had calmed down and taken a seat opposite her again."She disappeared o

Eve stepped out of the bathroom to find Lydia Crane waiting in front of a running sink, her perfect figure reflecting in the mirrors which surrounded the stall.There was no second guessing that her husband's mistress had come to give her a piece of her mind.And Lydia didn't waste time making her intentions clear."Are you done putting a show, Ms. Goody Two Shoes?" Eve wondered if Lydia and Bella had been sisters in their past lives or something.The two had a way of reenacting some teenage movie where they were the bad bitches."Hello to you too, Lydia. Sorry about your loss." Eve said instead, and turned on the tap in front of her, eager to be out of Lydia's sight.But she had just put her palms under the running water when small elegant fingers reached out and turned it off."What's the use of washing it when your soul stinks? Just like your hole which has been all over the place." Eve sucked in a deep breath and counted to ten, her shoulders stiffened in determination.No, she

He tasted like mint and good wine, addictive and maddening.His touch was lethal, driving her crazy with that expertise sweep of his tongue into the warm tavern of her mouth, sucking off any resolve she had made to avoid him.It was impossible to wake away now, when he had set her body and soul on fire, his head slanting to the side to get better access of her lips.It was as though Eve was kissing him for the first time. She thirsted and burned for him, her fingers gripping tightly to his shirt as she hungered to merge into his skin.Like something she had been missing since, she clung to him, returning his kisses with equal feverish need, her body potty in his arms."Fuck, baby, I don't think I can fucking stop now." Alessandro grunted against her lips in a low voice, her nipples tightening in her robe.She didn't want to stop either, but she was too far gone to muster words that weren't in form of a moan or a sharp gasp. And when his fingers gently tugged at the towel and release

"There is a big guy outside your door, do I need to call security?" Attorney Leonardo asked as soon as he strode into Eve's office on Monday morning, barely minutes after she finally returned to work.Eve looked up from the tons of unopened messages in her mail inbox, forcing her thoughts away from her husband for a moment."Oh, that's just my personal security."She said casually, as though she hadn't made a fuss when she walked downstairs and saw a strange young man beside her car."I'm your new bodyguard, ma'am. Mr. Stark employed me." Eve had thrown a fist then and dialled her husband while insisting she wasn't going to be babysat by anyone.But of course, that mesmerising voice still had the same effect on her even when he was countries away."I'm not there to protect you baby, and I'm not letting some psychopath touch a hair on your body. I have to ensure you're safe." And so Eve Wilson had blushed all the way to the England and the rest was history."Security? Oh right, how

The week passed in a blur of habit and boredom.Work, work, Zoe. Due to the controversy surrounding Sean Lancaster, he was replaced at the set, which was good news for Eve.But the downside of it was that every scene he had appeared in was shot again, and since a schedule had already been set for the release of the movie, they stayed at the set for hours, trying to catch up with time.Although Eve used a stunt double for many of her scenes, she still ended up being stressed out.To worsen things for her, Zoe caught cold and was down for three days.If it hadn't been for Alessandro's parents who came to take care of her, Eve would have passed out already.Those were stressful days, but the only thing that cheered Eve up and made her look forward to something exciting was Alessandro.He called at night before he slept and texted early in the morning.She felt closer to him over the past few days than she had been in the months of their marriage.It was on one of those days after a long
