Terrific Mistake

“Where did Noah go?” Genevieve pondered, pacing around the living room as she bit her newly painted nails nervously.

“No no, Eve. Calm down and stop overthinking. He said he’ll be back. He just went to get something. Stop.”

It was 6 pm already and Noah was nowhere to be found. He left two hours ago when they were dressing up. Well, it is their anniversary today and she had suggested that they have dinner outside, and to her surprise, he didn’t refuse and just nodded. How happy was she about that? One hundred percent happy.

“Maybe it’s an emergency or something. B..but what if he does not come?” She sighed feeling so uneasy. Will all the make-up and jewelry that she wore for him go to waste? Plus she was looking gorgeous as ever in Noah’s favorite colors. A black knee-length gown that has a short slit on the corners revealing her white thighs and a white heel and bag that perfectly matched her dress.

Only God knows how much she has been anticipating this day.

Eve stopped pacing around and rushed to the kitchen to grab a glass of water to calm her nerves down. These ill thoughts were getting out of hand and she might faint thinking about negative things.

“Genevieve! Genevieve!”

*Smash.”

The sound of glass shattering on the floor made her jump in surprise. Who was it that was calling her name all of a sudden and made her drop this glass in shock?

“Noah?” She muttered realizing who it was.

Was he calling her that way so they could leave for their romantic dinner? Her smile finally returned to her face when she thought of that possibility.

He must have expected her to be waiting for him at the door since he was all dressed before leaving. Delightfully, she rushed out of the kitchen to the living room to stand in front of him.

“I’m here. I’ve been waiting for you. I’m ready. We should leave now.”

Her eyes were fixated on her husband who was looking at her as if he would kill her any second from now but she ignored the look in his eyes and thought that he was just angry because she wasn’t waiting for him.

“I’m sorry for not waiting for you at the door but trust me, I was waiting for you. Look, I wore your favorite color.”

Genevieve has that dreamy look on her face as she stares at her husband. It wasn’t a first as she always has that dreamy look on her face whenever her husband is around. She was a love-sick puppy for him and would accept anything from anyone as long as he was still with her.

She would ignore whatever his mother and the servants here said as long as he was with her and she got to see him.

That was how much she loved him.

Her eyes fell on the ladies beside her husband. One was in a wheelchair and the other was assisting her. She frowned.

All over the lady’s legs and body were bandages. What happened to her? From what she remembered, she was the only daughter of the Johan family and was a very close family friend of the Hanks. Seeing her like this made her surprised after all, that girl was the pampered princess of both families.

“Oh my, Melissa. What happened to you?”

“Really? You’re asking me that?”

“Yes. Your body is bruised and bandaged. My… My God, are you alright?”

“You must be so shocked to see that I survived. Well, I’m sorry to say but your game is over, Eve, Genevieve, or whatever you’re called.”

“W…what?”

Eve frowned at her words. What does she mean by that? The way everyone was looking at her right now, she just couldn’t understand.

She watched as Melissa slowly stood up with the help of her servant and stood right in front of her.

Pa! Pa!

Before she could register anything in her head, Melissa’s hands already fell on her face harshly causing her to lose her balance and fall on the floor.

“Right. Down below my foot. That’s where you belong.” She turned to Noah and said in a puppy-like voice “Brother Noah, please let’s just get rid of her already. I’m scared. What if she tries something else?”

“Here, sign these papers.” He threw some papers to her feet.

“Wh…what’s going on?”

“You should know better than all of us here. Sign the papers, Genevieve.”

What's going on, reallyQ? He isn't even calling her in the usual ‘Eve’ like he used to.

Eve’s hands picked up the paper from the floor and stared at it. The moment she realized what it was, she felt her soul leave her body and she quickly stood up from the floor. The dreaded look on her face was so evident.

“No…Noah, did I do something? Why all of a sudden? I…I thought that we were going to have our anniversary dinner today. Is this a prank? If it is please stop, it's not funny at all.”

“We were going to but as you can now see, it is no longer needed. Melissa woke up for the first time after her accident and told us the truth.”

It

“Truth? What truth? What accident?” She looked from Noah to Mellissa and from Melissa to Noah. She doesn't know what he is talking about. Was Melissa in an accident? She never knew that.

Well, no one tells her anything in this family after all. They all hated her ever since the day she first stepped foot into this house.

She had thought that it was because her marriage with Noah happened all of a sudden but it has been three years already and they still did not change.

“Noah,” Eve gasped as Noah roughly held her arms tightly and looked into her eyes with those fierce eyes of his.

“You are going to sign that divorce paper and get the hell out of my roof. We all know that I only got married to you and let you stay here all because of Grandfather.” He held her tightly, ignoring her struggles. Her arms hurt. “You realize how unfair that was to me? I was going to keep you here but after what you did to Melissa, you ain't gonna be here anymore.

Getting married to you was a terrific mistake. Sign the divorce papers and flee this place else I change my mind and call the cops.”
