Prologue MaeveThe first sign that something was wrong when I walked through the front door of the apartment I only recently bought with my fiancée and soon-to-be husband was when I heard a female groaning long and loud like she was in pain.I froze. It sounded too close. Really close. Like in my damn apartment close.I opened my mouth to call out but the voice came again.“God, yes, that feels good.” The voice sounded familiar. And it’s coming from… I walked farther into my apartment, careful not to make a noise.The sound was coming from my bedroom. I brace myself as I press the polished chrome handle and throw open the door.There in bed fully naked was my fiancée and soon-to-be husband… No! He is my husband already. since we registered our marriage officially two months ago.“Shit! What the fuck are you doing here, Eve?” Those were the first words that he said to me when he finally pulled out of the woman he was in bed with.“Is that what you are supposed to say to me?” I didn

MaeveOne month later…“What the fuck am I doing here?” I whispered to myself feeling very out of place.I shouldn’t be here. I should have cancelled this package right after I cancelled the whole event.This is meant for couples or at least friends like the girls sitting not far from me.They were talking and laughing. Clearly having fun.I wasn’t supposed to be here alone but life decided to play games with me and ruin everything.It has been a whole month since I walked in on Evans with another woman and for the past month, I have just been existing.I couldn’t face my family and tell them that the bastard cheated on me and now the wedding is off.No. I lied.Not just to my family but to my friends and everyone else I had invited to the wedding.I told them we decided to postpone the wedding because we were both so busy and they didn’t ask any questions.Thank God.Violet showed up the next day and I expected her to resign but she didn’t.Instead, she asked for a leave which I gra

Maeve“Hey, gorgeous.” I gasped at his voice. Damn, I didn’t think men still had such husky and bedroom voices.He called me gorgeous.My face heated up when he flashed a smile at me.Even the dim light couldn't hide the hint of a dimple on both his cheeks.Before I could react or say anything, he dragged me with him.I didn’t know what to say or what to do so I just let him pull me with him.Instead of continuing in the direction of the exit, he pulled me with him through a secret door.I knew I should say something. I knew I shouldn’t blindly follow a stranger out of the club but it seemed that my senses took a break when he touched me.Did I forget to mention that my body was tingling even though he was only holding my hand?I couldn’t remember the last time someone had such an effect on me.My gorgeous stranger pulled me through a series of stairs and soon, we were out in the open night and that’s when I realized we were at the rooftop.“Sorry that I dragged you here, I asked for

MaeveMy God. His beautiful lips were rolling. Moving. Kissing me in the slowest, most sensuous way possible.His hand slides upward. Ever so gently it cradled my face, barely touching me as I gasped softly into his mouth.Even the voice of reasoning calling me and giving me a million and one reasons why this was a bad idea couldn’t stop me.I was kissing him back in an instant.Titling my head to one side, as his tongue slipped past my lips and began eagerly exploring my mouth.His body was pure, unadulterated heat. I could feel the heat radiating outward as he all but pressed himself against me, stopping only to take one of my trembling hands and reposition it on one of his hips.Hmmm…Our kiss became a full make-out session as we went at each other hungrily. It was as if we had been starving for each other all our lives.No words were exchanged. Nothing really needed to be said when our tongues tangled and soft moans of pleasure escaped from my mouth. Our tongues swirled together

Maeve“Mom,” My voice broke as I listened to my mom sob.“Melody has been moved to the hospice. The doctor said if she doesn’t get the surgery, she won’t make it past this week.” My heart broke even more and tears welled up in my eyes.Melody, my baby sister. She has been sick for a while now and I have done everything to help but each time we think she is out of the woods, she relapses.So far, she has had five surgeries and was scheduled to get another but finding a donor has been harder than before.Every penny I have made aside from what I used for my wedding preparation has gone into making sure my baby sister stayed alive.Her insurance couldn’t cover half of what she needed so I had to pay for a lot of things upfront.My other siblings did the best they could too.“Mom, calm down. Are Harmony and Tones there?” I asked for my other siblings.“Tones has gone to speak with the doctor about our options and Mony is at college.” She sobbed. I got out of bed, suddenly feeling guil

Maeve “Why haven’t you signed this? What are you playing at?” I yelled at him. I was much too stressed out right now to be dealing with this bastard too. I expected our marriage to already be a done deal. We didn’t live together, never did the ceremony so it was supposed to be easy for us to divorce. He was supposed to submit the papers to the court a month ago. I was the fool for trusting him to do things right. “Calm down, Eve.” “Don’t fucking tell me to calm down! Sign this right now because I am taking it to the court with me!” I fired at him. He sat back as if I didn’t just ask him to do something. I can’t believe I believed him when he said he had business for me. I never learn. “I can’t sign that. If I sign it and send it to the court then we will both lose out on a sweet business deal.” I glared at him. “What are you talking about?” I asked him. “If you just calm down, I will explain. I was going to sign this. I have just been busy and thankfully so.” I

Maeve “Eve.” The first thing I felt when I heard the person on the phone was disappointment that it wasn’t who I thought it was on the phone. The second thing I felt was fear. The fact that I felt the fear secondly made me feel guilty because I knew the only reason my brother was calling me was to give me an update about my sister. “Why are you calling from a different number?” I asked him as I looked around for a cab. “My phone died. Where are you? Have you been able to get anything?” I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat at his question. “Nothing yet.” I cloaked. I felt so useless. “Damn, Eve. What are we going to do?” My brother’s voice broke me even more. “Give me a little more time, and I will find something, I promise.” I told him. “Eve!” Evans came out of the café calling my name. Evans. As much as I hated him, right now, he was the only one who could help me. “I have to go, Tones, I will get the money we need.” I told my brother and ended th

Maeve“I am glad you called me even though it’s late. I like it. You have been a good girl.” Before, that simple sentence would have had some kind of effect on me, and I would have been blushing and covered my face shyly.Now, it sounded corny and annoyed me, but I let it slide.“About the deal.” I said going straight to the point because I didn’t want to spend more time than necessary with him.“Wow, you are not even going to let me sit down or order a drink? Is this what we have become?” I sighed mentally and reminded myself that I needed money.Not just needed money, but I already took one million loan from him.I have to pay it all back.“Order a drink if you want.” I didn’t even care that I sounded harsh.It’s not like we were friends. Everything about him still irritated me.It’s not even because I am not over him, after all, I am already over him.Heck, if Melody didn’t have a crisis, I would still be in Venice and with Andro.“You are being too hostile, but okay, let’s tal

Maeve“You have changed a lot. How can you be so sure? I made one mistake, Eve. One mistake and you decided to let go of everything we had. Everything we shared!” I scoffed at his words.To him, it was a small one mistake but to me? It’s huge and I refuse to be gaslighted about how I reacted to his supposed one mistake.“You didn’t make one mistake, Evans! You fucked my assistant and blamed me for it!” I reminded him.“Also, you called me boring and told me that if I end things with you, I will die alone. Well guess wha—“ I stopped talking because what’s the point in telling him that he was wrong both times?I am not boring like he claimed and I am certainly not going to die alone.“Guess what? Did you already find a new man? Eve? It has only been a month! Don’t tell me that in that short time, you already went outside our marriage and fucked someone else!” It wasn’t his words but the fact that he sounded offended by the idea of me having a new man that made me laugh.I laughed so

Maeve“I can’t believe you sold the house and didn’t bother to give me my cut!” I yelled at him. “I haven’t sold the house. The house isn’t for sale!” I blinked at him. “What? You didn’t put the house up for sell like I told you?” I yelled at him. I couldn’t believe him. He didn’t sign or submit the divorce papers and now, he didn’t put the house up for sell like we agreed. “I didn’t put the house up because I thought you would get over what happened and come back.” He let out.“Well, that’s not going to happen so make sure to put it up for sale!” I told him and stood up. “Where are you going to?” He asked me. “I am leaving. We are done talking about business. Tell me when you need me to show up with you and I will play the part of a doting wife and business partner but aside from that, don’t fucking call me!” I warned him.“Why won’t I call you? You owe me money.” I scoffed at his words. “We are going to get that deal signed and once the down payment hits my account, I
