Alice..Ring ring ring.I could hear the sound of my ringtone resonating in the entire shop from where it was being charged."Ma'am, your phone is ringing." One of the apprentice said as she brought my phone to me.I was currently at the salon making my hair and doing my nails. Nothing brings me joy these days so I thought I needed a new look.The look I'm going for is the one that would sweep anyman off his feet. One that can seduce even the president of the United States. That's over the top but that's exactly what I'm going for. A look that says - I'm here! I looked at the ringing but it was an unknown number, there was no caller ID. I groaned loudly. Some people really need to learn."Hello." I said as I picked up the ringing phone."It's Mark." Mark's annoying voice sounded over the phone."Mark?" I scoffed."Why don't you just stick to one number?" I groaned in frustration."Well, I.." He paused and tut."That's not the issue right now, I've got the juice." He said laughing.

Eve.After Jason had left with the others, Max bombarded me with questions."Eve, what's really going on?" He asked and I shrugged.He got up from where he sat with Ethan and came to sit by my side. Ethan simply watched us in confusion."What's going on?" "Is someone after you?" He asked and I smiled."No, stop asking absurb questions." I said quietly. I was no longer scared nor shivering. So it wasn't hard for me to speak up."Then why were so you scared?" Max asked again and I sighed heavily."I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who has been scared out of their wits so why are you so bothered about it." I said in a snappy voice hoping it would make him back down but he seemed unfazed."Yeah but I know you, you hardly get scared so what's different now?" Max countered."I'm no longer like that, you know change is drastic." I said tilting my head and smiling."I know what you're hiding." Max suddenly said and I laughed."Hiding?" I scoffed."What could I possibly be hiding?" I as

Jason..Luckily, I got home in time for dinner and it tasted delicious."Thankyou for the food." I said to mom as Eve and i retired for the night.We both took our baths in turns and changed into our night wears.As I laid on my back staring at the ceiling, I just wanted her to know that I care about her."Eve, I know I've not been the best person to you but if something is bothering you, I want you to be able to tell me." I said quietly and she hummed in response.Was she asleep already?"Eve.." I called out her name."Yeah?" She answered and I sighed."I know you care about me and I trust you." She said after a short pause."I care about you too." She said as she moved closer to me making me turn to face her instead.She moved closer to me until our lips were touching and there was no space in between.I connected our lips and she left out a soft moan. We kept kissing until we stopped to catch our breath. Eve sat up and I did the same too. I looked her at her already swollen lips an

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

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
