“Saving myself from you."

“What? And what did I do?"

"That's the problem. You don’t have a good memory; see how you forget what you did last night.”

“What?

“See Eva, I can get that you are getting attracted to me and it’s obvious too, as I am an irresistible man clutching to me like that, especially...“”

“Shut up. I did nothing like that."

“It’s ok if you don’t accept your allure for me."

Eva just gritted her teeth in anger. “Don’t you need to bother? I will sleep in the other room."

“That’s not happening. Nobody is leaving this room. I don’t want to provide the house with some gossip about us. Am I clear?

Eva was frightened to listen to his strict tone, whereas Stephen rakes his fingers in his hairs to calm his anger. He doesn’t even like the thought of Eva leaving him

Tears pooled in Eva’s eyes. She just picked up her pillow and hit the couch, as she doesn’t want to share the bed with him after his accusation.

Stephen noticed her actions quietly as he knew he offended her, but why is she so naive that she wouldn’t notice the tease behind his words, or maybe Steve was always right about him? —that he doesn’t know how to deal with woman or flatter

At that time Stephen didn’t care about these comments, but now he does as he wants to impress his wife. It was awful for him to see Eva ignoring him all the time. And moments before he just lost his cool on her, he noticed her glossy eyes and cussed himself for doing this.

Eva slept on the couch Stephen didn’t object, as he didn’t want to hurt her more

It was midnight when Stephen noticed her in deep slumber and slowly reached to her. He noticed the dry tear marks

His heart pained to see her like this. He slowly scooped her up in his arms and made her settle on the bed

The next morning, when eva woke up, she found herself on the bed, She looked for Stephen but he was not present in the room

She decided to talk about this shifting of place later and entered the washroom to complete her morning routine

After getting ready for breakfast, the only thing running through her mind was food, so she quickly entered the dining room. She spotted Stephen already settled for breakfast.

Spotting her Stephen wished her

“Good morning."

Eva mumbled, “Good morning."

"I hope you slept well, as today I have to discuss some important things with you. Finish your breakfast, then we'll talk.”

Eva was not interested in any discussion but her mind was too focused on food so she just gave a nod and started enjoying in her breakfast

After finishing with breakfast, Stephen left for the study room. and Eva followed him

After arriving the room, Stephen told her to lock the door Eva was shocked at his words but still she locked the door

Stephen signaled for her to take a seat and passed a file at her, Eva hold the file

"These are the details of the Hudson properties that are on your name now. I want you to go through it.

“Me! But why me?”

“Because Eva, you will take hold of these properties after our reception. “
