Eve's Obsession Chapter 30 – Two Plus One Point
(Eve's POV)A mother must be a good actress.Despite what I felt, I had to smile and laugh with them. Isabella saved us all in that awkward moment. She boasted about her good performance in class. Theo, her classmate in the same class, complained about the long hours in the classroom. In their previous school, it was a three-hour class, but in their new school, it was five hours.Cooper shared the same feelings with his brother, telling Ben and Wyatt how he hated his new school.“You should make friends,” Ben suggested.My son lowered his face and sighed. “I don’t like them.”“It’s okay, buddy,” Wyatt said cheerily. “You’ll find one soon,” he assured, sincerely smiling at my son.Cooper wrinkled his nose and shrugged. “I’d rather hang out with you,” he murmured, tearing his slice of pizza into two.“We can be best friends,” Wyatt offered.“I like that,” Cooper grinned, nodding and eating his food.My son focusing on food meant he did not want to share more, and what Wyatt had said was
Eve's Obsession Chapter 31 – What Can Go Wrong?
(Eve's POV)I looked glumly at the time on my phone. It was ten after five in the afternoon, but I was still in the office.Bethany was meeting a client. Bob was on a business trip. Worse, Millicent came and spent the whole morning pestering me by doing little errands for her outside the office. It was not even related to my job. It seemed her job today was to keep me away from Callahan. My boss was okay with it, and if her little tasks for me didn’t require falling in line, I would like it, too.When I returned from the bank, the last of Millicent’s tasks for me, she was gone, but it was already one. I hoped to have a quick lunch, but Callahan exited his office before I could have a big bite of the sandwich Rosie prepared for me that morning. I bet my face turned crimson when my mouth was wide open, ready to devour the sandwich, at the same time he looked at me.Callahan frowned and sighed, but he did not say anything. He walked past me and headed to the elevator.‘Goodbye, baby!’ I
Eve's Obsession Chapter 32 – Start On The Right Footing
(Eve's POV)“This will only take a minute,” Bernard said, smiling sheepishly at me while placing the food container in the microwave.Bernard Smith lived in an all-white interior studio apartment with a calming and relaxing atmosphere, maybe because of the indoor plants that added a touch of nature to the ambiance. I found the place clean and neat for a man living on his own. Even the piles of papers on his desk near the bed were organized.“My hungry tummy can wait,” I chuckled, lifting a small picture frame on the side table. “Your sister?” I joked, betting the woman in the picture was his mother.The resemblance between him and the woman was hard to miss. I understood where he got his good looks. Their striking features were almost identical. I pressed my lips, suppressing a laugh as I thought of finding the female version of Channing Tatum.Bernard looked in my direction and smiled.“That great woman there? My mom. She’s an annoying but the best mom in the world,” he muttered lovi
Eve's Obsession Chapter 33 – Memories of Dream
(Cal’s POV)“Where’s Eve?”The high note in Millicent’s tone was enough to tell me she was unhappy. She entered my office, frowning while balancing the cups of coffee on a small tray.The sound of her high-heeled shoes clicking and clacking on the bare floor reminded me to contact the interior designer to install the carpet. Lately, I have been experiencing frequent headaches, and even small sounds that I barely noticed before would trigger them.“This isn’t my job, Cal!” She sneered, placing the coffee on my table. “I’m not your secretary.”“Argh! I’m glad,” I sighed in relief, almost rolling my eyes, but I did not look at her. Instead, I pretended to be busy reviewing the budget request for the next six months.My mind was preoccupied with thoughts and questions about my secretary. Last night, I had a strange dream about her. Since I woke up, I have been unable to stop thinking about Eve. It was intense. Sexy. Sensual.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to connect my dream again.Eve c
Eve's Obsession Chapter 34 – The Little Experiment
(Cal’s POV)“What’s with you?” Millicent hissed annoyingly and glanced at the door closed. “Do you want Eve to sue you for harassment?”I didn’t answer. Instead, I focused on the food, not wanting to admit that I crossed the line. I shouldn’t have done it and thought about doing it to her. It was not real but a dream that could jeopardize my position.“What’s that? How did you get it?” Millicent muttered, copying my tone. She groaned and rolled her eyes, biting the steak on her fork. “Are you the only man she met in her life? She’s young…” She chewed her food, her excuse for thinking of the best way to attack me. “She’s a young widow -”I lifted a hand, glaring at her.It was enough cue for Millicent to get the message I didn’t want to talk about it. I sighed but continued to eat, not wanting to give her a chance to make fun of me again. I felt stupid, thinking it was not a dream. How could it have happened when I had a late online meeting last night, and she had two guests at home, a
Eve's Obsession Chapter 35 – Are You Coming?
(Eve's POV)My reflection in the mirror proved my blood all went to my face. Have I gone mad? I placed my palms under the faucet, catching the cold water and sprinkling it on my face. At this point, I wished to drown myself in the sink, only I didn’t fit.After Dr. Preston called, I looked for her information in my files. There was none. Out of curiosity, I searched for her name on the Internet and found a few sites that mentioned her. Wanting to confirm he wasn’t dating the sexual therapist because she was really attractive in the pictures, I made up the story. The erectile dysfunction answer was something I did not expect… and believe.If I had not entered Moira’s room last night, he would know his magnificent shaft was not broken. The first time I met him and last night were my proof he was a very healthy man when it came to bed.I extended my hand, reaching for the towel, and wiped the dampness off my face. After a moment, I took a deep breath, steadied my nerves, and gazed at my
Eve's Obsession Chapter 36 – I Found Her
(Eve's POV)Callahan turned to me and gave me the folder. “Edit the changes in the contract and then send it to Kei and me. Don’t forget to cc Bob and Millicent. After that, we can leave.”Easy peasy! I smiled, nodding at Callahan as I took the folder. It was not a déjà vu, and I was glad I didn’t have to panic. I knew exactly what to do.I nodded cheerfully as I had done that task yesterday… mine, but not Callahan’s. Then, his words echoed again in my mind.‘We can leave?’“Huh? We?” My eyebrows were furrowed as I asked him.“Yes,” he answered without looking at me as he was busy reading a text message. “I had this weird dream about you. I want to make sure it’s not happening,” he replied while typing.I didn’t mean it to happen, but my lips involuntarily pouted, upset that whatever that dream was, Callahan sounded sure he didn’t want a repeat performance. I was about to return to my table but stopped and turned around.“I'm just curious,” I asked in a hushed tone, glancing at Mr. Mo
Eve's Obsession Chapter 37 – Reaching Jessy's Heart
(Eve's POV)I shifted my gaze at Marga, noticing her cold stare, but she decided to remain silent. My only solace was that she wasn’t Bethany, who would pounce on the opportunity to question me. I knew she was itching to ask about my puffy eyes and red nose. She probably blamed Callahan for it because she saw us talking in the driveway.Thinking I wasn’t ready to talk about it, she stood up, offering her hand to Isabella.“Let’s have that warm bath, Isabella,” she said, smiling gently at my daughter.Isabella groaned, not wanting to leave yet. She and her two brothers were seated, crossed legs on the floor, playing a snake and ladder board game Cooper found in the attic. She pouted and raised her head to look at me.“Go with Marga,” I muttered softly, kissing the top of her head. “Mommy’s head is aching. I’ll go to your room later, okay?”“Okay,” she smiled sweetly, reaching for Marga’s hand. “Can we play later?”“Later means time for bedtime,” Theo puckered his lips, standing up. “I
