Eve's POV.I returned to the hotel suite after seeing Jason making out with his mistress. To be honest, it hurt to see him like that but it only showed that he doesn't respect me at all. The girl even said she was his girlfriend, if he had a girlfriend then why did he choose to marry me? Is it because I'm not up to the standards that society has made? Rich people can be so annoying sometimes. But i wasn't going to let myself be bothered. If I get affected by this now, I'll be losing and I don't want to lose. I may be young but I'm no pushover. I may be poor and slow like a snail but one great attribute of a snail is perseverance and I will stick to this until I conquer.Okay, maybe that's a little bit too much to say. Conquer? It's not a war.Jason's mom wants us to come home to stay with her and grandma Nini. She likes me and as Jada said; the key to a man's heart is through his mother.I don't know when I fell asleep on the couch but I woke up to the sound of the door opening and th
Jason's POV.Few hours ago.I returned to the hotel suite and did my victory dance as I walked inside. I was still dancing when I heard someone clear their throat. Turns out Eve was still awake and she sat down looking at me with me with wide eyes. I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment, no one had ever seen me this way and I always made sure to never show anyone my easy going side but here she was staring at me as if she could read into my soul."Why are you on the couch?" I snapped as soon as I regained my composure. We exchanged a few words and in the blink of an eye, she was inside the room.I couldn't help but wonder, was the gift too small? Did she want something else? Why did she reject the first gift I got for her and why am I bothered?I went into my room and sent recieved a text from my mom."You didn't even call to ask where I am, aren't you worried about your mother?" The text read and I couldn't help but smirk. I thought she was ready to disown me. But before I could
Alice.The sun was up in the sky and the weather was cool. A perfect day to go out but what happened two days ago was still bugging me and I couldn't help but worry.My older brother Mark had showed up into my house unannounced. He was always causing trouble for my parents but the last straw that led my family to disown him was what happened some time ago and I never saw him seen there. It's been a year and now he's back and he wants me to help him.And most of all, he knows about my secret visit to those thugs and my intention to hurt Jason's wife.FlashbackI saw the silhouette of a man in my house and when he got closer I knew who he was. Someone familiar. Someone I didn't expect to see. My brother."What are you doing here?" I asked in fear."I thought you'll be glad to see me." He smirked."And why the hell would I be glad to see you?,I thought you left the country." I said quietly."You see that's the problem, you always think." He smiled and i scoffed."Just tell me what you wa
Jason.."Jason, if you don't come out of that room in the next twenty minutes, I'm going to barge in there whether you're naked or not." Mom shouted as she knocked on my door repeatedly."I'm tired." I groaned."Yes, you're tired when it comes to going out with your wife but when it comes to work, you're never tired." She yelled still banging the door."Work is different." I mumbled."I can hear that you know.""First, you make her sleep in the guest room and then you don't ever want to go out with her, you know I'm leaving with Grandma Nini today, are you planning to make her feel lonely." Mom shouted."Alright, I'll get dressed." I shouted just so she would get out of my hair.I just have to give in to my mom or else, she'll never give up. I still wonder what Eve gave her that made her like her so much. Even grandma Nini is on her side.I groaned as I got up from the bed and went to take a shower. I had taken my bath earlier today but I went to the gym to work out and then I saw my
Jason.."Jason, are you there?" I heard Eve say from one of the stalls but I was too shook to answer her."Jason!" She yelled in pain and that was when I came to my senses."Okay, I've heard. Give me a minute, I'll be back soon." I said and left the bathroom at once."Get the ones with wings." I heard Eve say quietly but I was too stunned by her request to go back and ask what she meant."Eve ... How am I supposed to.. oh God.. this is so embarrassing.. my my ..." I mumbled as I went to look for a shop that sells women stuffs.Luckily, I found a pharmacy so I entered inside."Welcome, Feel free to look around." The person in charge said to me immediately she saw me. I nodded and walked around looking for what I was here to buy.I remember Eve vaguely saying she wanted the ones with wings and so I searched for what to buy. I finally found a stand that was filled with pads and as I was about to pick an always pad that I saw a man entered the stall shouting on top of his voice that he w
Eve.."So you're saying he did all that?" Max gasped."Yes, why would I lie about that?" I giggled."Girl, I think he's falling for you." Max laughed giving me a friendly tap on my arms."You're right, Jada's plan might be working." I smiled."Keep this up and this would no longer be a marriage of convenience." Max smiled too.We talked about other stuffs including the barista that max was dating now. Turns out, max was simply trying to make Jason jealous that was why he mentioned that his new boyfriend Ethan was coming because according to max 'a man can tell when another man is jealous.'I felt good about the situation anyways because it was good to recognized and all. I've never seen a guy get jealous because of me because I didn't really have much time so I mostly saw any guy I was seeing late in the night most of which none of them appreciated. Not that they were serious about me anyways, they were mostly struggling like I was but the attraction was there.I am not sure if this i
Jason..The sun shoned through the window blinding my eyes.Ugh.. I groaned. Just who left the windows opened and how many times have I warned those maids to not open my windows. I rolled to the other side of my bed only to feel something by my side. I put my hands there only to feel someone's body right beside me. I shot my eyes opened only to meet Alice with a disheveled hair on my bed.I tapped her harshly jolting her from her beauty sleep."What?" She snapped."I should be asking you that." I snapped back at her."What are you doing here?" I said in a half yell."What do you mean by that?" "We came home together last night." She said rubbing her eyes probably because she still felt sleepy."There's no we and this is not your home." I snapped."Jason, what's wrong with you?, It's too early!" She said in a loud voice."Exactly, it's too early. As long as I remember I've never asked you to come to my house. Ever!" I said angrily."Okay fine, you were drunk and so I brought you ho
Eve...I got off the floor where I sat and began to rampage through my wardrobe. I saw a box that I filled with clothes that Jason got for me before. It was too expensive so I hid them. Right now, I was in the mood to dress up nicely so I pulled the box out and picked out a cream saint Laurent dress. I opened another box and pulled out a black Dior heel and a small black purse with pearls around it.I put them on and then styled my hair in a bun and left a few strand fall while I used a cream broche to hold it so it won't free fall. I put on light make up and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked really expensive.Satisfied with my looks, I left the house and walked down to the busstop outside the estate before I flagged down a cab going to the location that my mom had sent to me on my phone earlier.We soon arrived and I alighted from the cab. I looked around taking in the exterior of the building. It was much more better than the dilapidated building that we used to live in befor
