(Eve's POV)“This is crazy!” Callahan groaned, placing the sandwich back on the table.“You’re not eating that?” I gasped, sitting beside him. My eyes were still wide, pinned on the food that would go to waste.“You’re not eating my sandwich!” He hissed, narrowing his eyes at me, grabbing the sandwich again, and angrily taking a bite of the bread.“Just asking, Cal,” I said, raising my hands. “Make sure you eat them. You have the habit of eating only half of your food,” I muttered as if I were talking to Cooper or Theo.He chewed the food but watched me carefully arranging my notebook, tablet, and recorder on the round wooden table. Then I reached for the sandwich in my bag.“Aw,” I mumbled, pouting at the sorry state of my lunch. My other things in the bag must have pressed the sandwich down into the bag, causing the peanut butter to ooze out and the bread to flatten. I was sure it was a perfectly shaped sandwich when Marga placed it in my bag, but now it looked saggy and unappetizin

(Eve's POV)“Don’t ask,” Callahan said, turning off the engine at the basement parking area.“You won’t hear me asking.” I raised my hands, unbuckled my seatbelt, and exited the car.I curled my lips, sneering as I closed the door. After his dagger looks and silent treatment, who would dare ask him a question? I would ask about Ruby Alvarez later, or maybe not. But I had to do his schedule for tomorrow and make necessary adjustments if Ruby decided to follow up on something.Again, that is if she wants to do it in the office.If they agreed to meet somewhere else, there was nothing to follow up on. I let out a resigned sigh and shook my head.“What now?” My adorable boss asked impatiently.I shrugged, following him inside the elevator. “I didn’t say anything.”“You’re sneering and sighing. That’s a lot for a woman,” he muttered, pressing the 5th-floor button.I grinned. “Oh, you read women.”“Eve,” he snarled, squinting his eyes.I sucked in my lips and pinned my eyes on the elevator

(Eve's POV)Not showing up at Wyatt’s birthday celebration was not part of the option. My kids and two best friends were there, and Ben, my supposed date for dinner, was there, too. Callahan would suspect I was avoiding him, and whoever was Wyatt’s guest would not believe I felt under the weather. Pain and embarrassment.I weighed them, and the latter was heavier. It was my fault Callahan was furious. I acted like a jealous wife or girlfriend. I acted nuts. Just because we slept together twice, I owned him already? He didn’t even know it.Sighing, I put on the earbuds, paired them with my smartphone, and turned up the volume, deafening my ears with Heartbeat Song. Kelly Clarkson had been with me since my first day here in Moira’s mansion… I meant her songs, not her.The electrical service panel box first. I stopped at it, switching it on and off and on again, hoping it would do the trick of fixing the lights. It didn’t. Rosie mentioned the flickering lights when we cleaned this area

(Eve's POV)“Bernard?” Bethany and Marga smiled wickedly, saying the name simultaneously.I caught Bethany waggling her brows at her, and Marga giggled, getting the silent message from her.“Bernard?” Isabella groaned. “Mommy, nooooo!”“Huh?” I mumbled confusedly, lowering my gaze to see what Isabella was complaining about and wishing that when I looked up, Bernard would be gone.“Mommy, I’m not naming my cat Bernard,” she curled her trembling lips, crossing her arms over her chest. Cat?I turned my head to Marga, and for a while, I had forgotten Bernard was there, walking with Rosie towards us. Cooper had been wanting to adopt a cat or dog, but we could never have one, considering his health condition.“Cat?” I said it out loud this time.“Uhuh,” she nodded and grinned. “Mr. Barclay promised to give me a cat.”My jaw dropped, and I blinked perhaps a thousand times while looking at the sky and scoffing before I looked at Callahan.“I can’t make her stop crying,” Callahan said in a h

(Eve’s POV)“Eve…” Marcus whispered, shaking my shoulder gently.I let out a deep groan, quietly complaining to myself. I rolled to the opposite side of the bed, hoping to get more sleep. I had not slept in days because Cooper had been having asthma, Theo had a fever because of infection, and I had been feeling under the weather for days.“I’m sorry, sweetheart, but Jessy’s fever is not going down,” Marcus muttered worriedly. “What should I do?”“Huh?” Hearing Jessy’s name woke me, but I could hardly open my eyes.Jessy seldom gets sick, but when she does, it is usually so severe that we have to bring her to the hospital. I groaned and tried to open my eyes again. Marcus had just returned from his business trip last night, but he told me he would look after the kids so I could get a few hours of sleep.“Eve…”“How’s Jessy?” I asked with my eyes still closed.“Eve, Jessy’s missing.”Missing? Still dazed, I opened my eyes.“Marga?” I mumbled confusedly, squinting and wondering why my be
