Eve..Two weeks later.I walked down the stairs ready to go to work. I've been in a very good mood for the past few days though I've been feeling a bit sick but there has been nothing out of the ordinary so far. Jason's birthday is in two days and I promised to make it up to me when he gave me that necklace so I'm planning to bake him a cake.So right now, I'm going grocery shopping. To get some stuffs for Ethan's shop and also for the cake I'm going to bake for Jason's birthday."Good morning." I said the moment I saw mom in the living room."Morning Eve." She said quietly."Is anything the matter?" I asked in concern."I have to go to the store with Sophie but I also have to go to a business gathering." She said sadly."Oh, that's fine, we can go together." I said."You and Sophie?" She asked and nodded."That's great then." She said and gave me a hug before she disappeared into her room. I walked around to look for Sophie so I could tell about the change of plans but I couldn't fi
Eve..It was quite late when I woke up from my sleep. I thought I would just take a nap but when I checked the time, a few hours had passed. "What a day!" I thought as I got out of bed and walked to the dressing table where I kept my phone earlier.I checked my phone and I realised I had over seven missed calls. Two from Ethan, three from Max and another two from Jason. I bet they're worried sick. There was a piece of paper next to my phone that wasn't there before. I dropped the phone back on the dressing table and picked up the piece of paper. "Why didn't you go to the store today?, We could have had some fun together.""Are you wondering how I have access to your house?, Well don't be. I'm watching your every move. PS - the man in black." I read what was written on the piece of paper.It was like the air in the room felt more tensed. I felt a lump in my throat and i tried to hide my fears."The man in black?" I muttered quietly.I crumpled the paper and grabbed my phone to leav
Alice..I waited restlessly in the car for Mark and the mole I planted at Jason's residence to come.I saw them approaching the car and I got down from the car and waited for them to get closer."So did she die?" I asked the moment I saw them."Die?" Mark scoffed."Do you think it's easy to have someone killed?" Mark hissed and got into the car."Why are you so cranky?" I hissed as well and turned to face my mole."You tell me, did she die?" I asked but she didn't say anything and simply looked down."Sophie!!" I yelled in anger."Speak up when I talk to you, did she die?" I asked once more in a cold voice making her shiver in fear."No." She answered fearfully and I slapped her in rage and she winced in pain."Why?" I asked angrily."Get in the car Alice, let's talk somewhere else." Mark said igniting the engine already seeing as I couldn't drive with the surge of anger in me."Get in the car as well." I yelled at her and she did as she was told.We drove away from the back of the ho
Jason.."You have two meetings left sir." Patricia said as she dropped another set of documents on my table."What is the finance department doing?" I asked in annoyance."Why haven't the CFO come to see me yet?" I asked again.All I want is just to see Eve, I miss her so much but this people just won't spare me a minute. I haven't even had time to call her since morning. I badly want to ask about her health since she's been acting all weird for a while."Sir, it's..." Patricia was about to answer me when the door to my office bursted open with jade running inside like all hell has been let loose."Jade, I'm busy." I said the moment I saw him but the look on his face said otherwise."Jason.." he said quietly and i knew something was wrong.I told him to call me by my name when we're both alone and not at work but if he's calling me my name at work with that kind of expression that means something has to be wrong."What is..." I was going to ask what was going on but my ringing phone c
Jason..I was overjoyed. It was really surprising. I don't know anything about pregnancy but I did suspect that Eve might be pregnant.Aftter all, I came in her twice. I'm gonna be a father!I'm so happy."The bad news is.." the doctor's voice jolted me from my reverie."We don't know when she'll wake up and we don't know how bad it will be when she wakes up." The doctor dropped the bomb."What do you mean by you don't know when she's wake up?" I asked confused."The patient, your wife is in a coma." The doctor said and my face fell."No, that's not true right doc?" I said with a broken voice."I mean people only fall into coma when they've been hit by trucks or when they get into serious accidents." "She fell down the stairs." I said quietly."What matters is not the manner at which she got injured, what matters is the impact of the fall." The doctor explained quietly."She could wake up in months, weeks or even a few days." The doctor said but I felt even worse."But will she wake
Jason..We all sat down on the chairs placed in front of the ward.I couldn't bring myself to go inside and face her.I felt like a failure.All sorts of things were running through my head.If I had brought Eve earlier to the hospital and we find out that she's pregnant, how would she have reacted to it?Would she be happy to be carrying my child or is it too early for us to have a child together?We would have gone for ultrasound and scan to check the baby and the OB-GYN would say something like - your baby is currently the size of a gummy bear and we would laugh about it.We could even come up with a foetus name and then we'll host a party to announce to the world that we're going to be parents.And then in a few months, we'll do a gender reveal party and then later on, we'll welcome our baby to the world but now that all these has happened, I'm not sure what the future holds for us.For me...What does the future hold for me when Eve is my future?Earlier, when I asked the doctor
Jason.I sat down helplessly in front of Eve's ward. I couldn't bring myself to go in.After returning from the emergency exit and sobbing for the nth time, there was nothing else to do than to sit and get lost in thoughts.I couldn't think about anything. My head was blank and my eyes looked soulless."I think you should all go home and get some rest." My mom said as she got up from where she also sat and turned to face us all.I simply glanced at her before looking elsewhere."Jason.." she called but I ignored her."Jason!" She yelled in a loud voice that caused me to wince before I turned to face her."What?" I snapped."Don't go all 'what' with me!" She snapped back. Then she sighed heavily and looked at me pitifully."You need to go home and get some rest." She said in a calm voice."All of you." She said pointing at everyone who was seated there."I'm not leaving this place." I managed to say."You have to leave this place, go home and take a bath." She said in concern but I sim
Jason..We took the elevator and went straight to the parking lot only to meet grandma Nini already standing there and waiting for us."I almost though this wasn't your car anymore." She said the moment we got there."Why didn't you just wait for us?" I rolled my eyes."What's the use?" She scoffed and I sighed deeply."We could have gone together" I mumbled but not loud enough for her to hear me. I don't have the strength for a lecture tonight. We both got into the car alongside jade who ignited the engine and began to drive out of the hospital parking lot.The ride home was a quiet one.Alot of things were on my mind but It wasn't something I could say.No one said anything.I mean there is nothing to say anyways.What could we possibly say?Would we try to console each other? That's just absurd because no amount of consolation can make me better right now.When we arrived, Grandma Nini disappeared into her room while Jade escorted me upstairs to mine.I looked back confused as to w
