Unexpected Eva Novels & Stories

I could hear the faint rhythm of his footsteps, the low warmth in his voice that once made my heart flutter. "Alright," I said softly, pretending lightness. "You're lucky I'm in a forgiving mood tonight." But as the sky deepened from amber to indigo, the seat across from me remained empty. Half an hour passed. Then an hour. Aaron still hadn't shown up. I called... No answer. Then Bella's name flashed across my screen. "Claire, check the trending feed. Vivian's gone crazy." My stomach tightened as I opened the news. Vivian's car had swerved across Aaron's lane, stopping him dead in traffic.

A mug with dried coffee residue waited on the counter like a small, accusing artifact of her old routine. Eva’s laptop was open on the dining table. Her recorder lay beside it. Her notebook, full of scribbled names and arrows, sat untouched. She’d made herself dress for work—jeans, a sweater, hair pulled back. If she looked like herself, maybe she could become herself again. The cursor blinked. Eva typed two words: Cross Enterprises— Her hands began to shake. Not dramatically. Just enough that the letters doubled and she had to backspace before the line turned into nonsense. Her stomach tightened, breath shallow. She pressed her palms to the table and stared at the wood grain until it stoppe

Your support means the world. 🖤 xoxo, Mableewritings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVE I had promised myself last night that I would tell Noah. That he deserved to know. That I couldn’t keep carrying this weight alone. But promises made in the dark have a way of unraveling in the daylight.

Once they had their say, I ripped my hand away from Cecelia's grasp hard and said sternly, "Cecelia." Cecilia froze as she didn't expect that reaction. Lillian and Isabel quickly sensed something was wrong and exchanged glances. "Maddie, what's wrong?" Cecelia whimpered, squeezing a few drops of crocodile tears. "We will end up homeless if you insist on moving out," she cried. "I still have a huge number of installments in my Apple Pay Later and Klarna accounts to settle." I took out my phone, opened my WhatsApp, and tapped on the "Free Riders Club" group chat.

Eva held his gaze for a moment, and for the first time, there was a flicker of something beneath her composure, not weakness, not uncertainty, but something deeper, something that hinted at a history she was not sharing. “Because relying on the wrong person costs more than losing.” She said it quietly. “And I’ve already paid that price once.” Ethan didn't reply, at that point, he realized that. Eva was far more interesting than he thought she was.

She just HAD to be! As he watched Faidh sleep, Heath thought about how different things would be for the world, now that he had found Eve. Humanity wouldn't die out. Heath was beginning work on his PHD in Biophysics in Nineteen Eighty-Five, when he met May-Ellen Reardon. She was a Math Major who believed the world would end through a new world war. She watched every newscast she could find. She subscribed to numerous newspapers. She spent hours at the grocery store magazine racks. Any hint of conflict anywhere in the world reaffirmed her suspicions. Heath would patiently listen to her daily comments of, "see, I told you it was coming," or, "This is going to be so so bad. They're just gonna w

“Compared to you, I’m nowhere close. You’re a good drinker. Is it that hard to have a drink and apologize?” The humiliation. The injustice. The betrayal. It all pushed Eva to the edge. “Fine,” Eva said suddenly. Her voice was calm. Too calm. “I’ll apologize.” Bradley’s shoulders loosened slightly, assuming he had won. Eva lifted her chin. “But I want one million as commission.” Bradley and Amira both snapped their heads toward her, their eyes flying wide in utter shock.

So it was good to use unlisted ones, they were safe. Eva was looking at them with confusion. Maybe she didn't expect to see anything like this. It was beyond her expectations.
