Jason.I was with Eve when I recieved a call from Alice.I was sitting down on the chair while Eve was was laying in my embrace. At first, I wasn't going to pick up but knowing the reason behind her call would be none other than her delusions that I'm the cause of her misery, I picked up.After all, our destinies were already connected and can't be severed so it's best I accept it."Excuse me." I mumbled to Eve who was laying in my embrace."Where are you going to?" She groaned in annoyance."Sorry baby." I said quietly and she blushed and moved away so I could leave.I left and went far enough to the garden so she wouldn't hear my conversation with Alice."Hello?" I whispered."Let's meet." She said and hung up before I could say anything.What the!Soon, I recieved a text message from her indicating where we should meet up.I quickly went back into the house only to meet Eve standing there with a frown on her face."Where are you going to?" She asked still frowning."I need to get
Eve.It's been three months since that incident happened but everything was fine now. Infact, Everything was more than fine because right now we're all sitting down in a beautiful auditorium watching two grooms exchange their vows.Ethan's family. Turns out, his family aren't that bad like Max thought they were. When we spoke to them two weeks ago, they apologized for being complete douchebags to Max, well Ethan's mom to be more precise.Max's family. Well, not all, just his cousins and older sister. His brother and parent are still as homophobic as ever.Jade and Patricia.Detective Dave and her partner. I can't believe Jason invited them too.My brother - Isaiah.We're no longer in bad terms.My immediate family ofcourse- Mom and Grandma Nini.And ofcourse, the best man of the day - Jason.We were all present.After all, a very important person was getting married and despite all the difficulties that we had gone through, we're still together.Because together, we're stronger.Eth
Eve.Three months ago.The day of the incident.After Jason had left, I sat down in the living room still watching television. Max came afterwards to tell me about how Ethan finally made the best proposal to him but I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't pay attention, I couldn't help but feel like something bad was going to happen. And I was right."Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Max asked with a loud huff and I rolled my eyes.So dramatic!"I'm listening." I lied and he scoffed."Okay, what was the last thing I said?" He asked with a smirk on his face."You asked if I was listening to you." I said smirking back."You're so annoying!" He said shaking his head."I'm just bothered." I mumbled quietly."Bothered about what?" He asked and i sighed."Jason?" He asked and i nodded my head."He'll be fine, it's just a small conversation, nothing's going to happen." Max said assuringly and i managed a small smile on my face."Okay, tell me how Ethan confessed to you again." I sa
Eve.Soon, I was left alone in the room with Jason who was still very much unconscious.The detective in charge of the case had come to see him but he wasn't awake yet so she filled Mom and Max on the issue since I was in no position to listen to whatever she has to say.My eyes were red and sunken but I was still not crying.No tears had dropped from my eyes yet, I was determined to hold it back.Is this how Jason felt when I was unconscious?Helpless and heartbroken?If this was how he felt when I barely sustained any injuries on my body, how could I possibly explain how I'm feeling especially with this much damages to his beautiful skin.Oh my dearest Jason.I got up from where I sat and was about to open to the door to check on Max and Mom who were yet to come back into the ward.Plus, I have no idea where Grandma Nini is either.The police officer who was addressed as detective Dave was the one who was talking to Max.I wasn't planning to eavesdrop but they were right outside the
Eve."Should I call the doctor to check on you?" I asked but he held me back."Wait, there's something I want to tell you first." He said and I raised my brows."What's that?" I asked and he sighed."I really didn't want to tell you this way." He said and I got even more confused."What is it?" I asked again."I wanted to tell you this in the most beautiful way ever but it's now or never." He said and i sighed heavily."Just say what you have to say and stop beating about the bush." I urged him and he chuckled quietly.I helped him sit up on the bed by lifting the bed up which was done by pressing a simple button, specks of being a VIP."So what is it?" I asked and he smiled."I love you." He said and i smiled."I love you." I said and we both remained silent for a while as we both stared at each other with smiles on our faces until I broke the silence."Is that what you wanted to say?" I asked and he laughed."Whenever I see you, my heart goes ba dum.." he said making me laugh.Who t
Eve.We all sat down in the ward watching the news and eating some watermelons.Everyone was glad that Jason was conscious now and even the bandages were removed from his body. Only his legs were still bandaged and with casts. He was advised not to move around yet even though he was given a wheel chair.The doctor said that it woild be best for him to have full bed rest for about a week before he'll be allowed to use the wheelchair to go anywhere.As we watched the breaking news, we received news that Alice was apprehended by the police.And just like I predicted, she was going to stow away to the Philippines.Why do they always go there anyways?Real life or movies alike.I sighed heavily as Mom switched off the television in annoyance."I never liked that girl." She huffed in annoyance."Me neither." Grandma Nini said agreeing with her."I'm so glad you came into our lives Eve, I would have gotten a heart attack if Jason chose to marry that criminal instead." Mom said and shot Jaso
Alice."What's that supposed to mean?" I asked confused."I'm saying that it doesn't just applied to men but also to women too." She said as she got up from where she sat and slammed her hands on the table startling me and the others in the room. "Don't you think that women are suffering in the world already?, Why add to it?" She asked and i rolled my eyes in response.I really didn't need to be listening to someone I honestly didn't like lecture me and so I groaned in frustration."Just shut up already!" I yelled angrily.I still don't know how the police found me, I was going to stow away quietly to the Philippines and come back in a few years.This was the only help I was getting from my father.Despite the fact that he has always called me his favorite child, he didn't blink an eye the moment he knew that what Mark and I did would affect his company gravely and might even lead to bankruptcy judging from the fact that Jason's Tech was one of the most prominent companies in the wor
Eve."But having another woman plot against me just to ruin my happiness is even more painful than the patriarchy system." I said quietly and Alice shot me a look.I could tell from the way that she was looking at me that she wasn't expecting this last words I said.I wasn't expecting this either.I didn't think that I would go full angry mode like an activist trying to prove a point but I was utterly frustrated.And although the doctor told me to be careful not to get stressed since I was still in my first trimester and I could cause harm to my baby, I couldn't help but get angry at Alice.Knowing fully well that Jason was in the hospital and he might never get to properly walk again. She has done more damage that good to me already.I don't know why she hates me and even if I did know, the reason wasn't valid enough."As women, we're supposed to help each other out but you've don't everything in your ability to destroy my life and all for naught." I said and she scoffed."Help each
