Episode 24
(What the?)
Unedited I’ll edit later..
As Eve got to her room,her mind couldn’t be at rest. A soft sigh escaped her l-ips as she switched her mind from one thought to another.
Is Rose really right about what she said concerning Hale’s feelings? She thought.
Was he really in love with her or maybe he is using her as a substitute for his fiance?
What will be his reactions when Ashley regains consiousness?
Bet, he’ll go back to his routine character.
Or maybe he’s really in love with her. So why can’t she forgive him let alone love him?, he’s her husband after all.
What a husband?
Phases of the day’s happening flooded into her and she sighed again.
Was she really right to hit him and push him away?
She hugged her pillow tightly.
Maybe she was too rude, and what about the gift. That was one costly Jewelry yet she turned him down. Though why was she troubling her head with all this? Tonight she wanted to have a good time_ bath and enjoy a good night sleep.
The next day…
Eve rolled lazily on the bed as she snapped her eyes from the fringes of a cosset sleep. It was early morning. The disheartening weather was at it’s peak. It was quiet cold. Thank God there was a large duvet available. She yawned, stretched out her limbs, and then rolled over all within the pleasantry of the capacious duvet.
Her eyes still misty with the dew of sleep,and her half conscious mind were still struggling to accept the realities of daybreak when her phone chimmed.
Sleepily, she sighed and got hold of it, she picked the call and took it to her ear not even glancing at the caller’s ID.
“Eveleen.” Her mom’s voice was muffled by her yawn, Eve yawned a long yawn of someone whose sleep had been cut short.
“Hello..” she mumbled after a long yawn.
“Eveleen are you there?”
Eveleen,only her mom calls her that.
“Mom,is that you..?” She questioned, flustered.
“Yes my dear, how are you doing?” Her mom’s voice was amorous.
“I’m fine Mom..”She feigned a smile even though her Mom couldn’t see her.
“How is your husband?” She asked.
“He is fine and you,how are you doing?how is Dad?” She said nonchalantly.
“We’re all fine,I just called to check on you.”
“I thought you two have forgotten about me.”
“How can we forget about our only daughter?’
“But Mom I didn’t get a call from you,not even a message or flash to know if I’m still alive”
“I didn’t want to disturb you in your fit of enjoyment..” she said and Eve stuffed a pinkie in her nose,that was the only thing she could do to stop herself from snorting.
“And what about Dad?” She queried, feeling dejected.
“Oh Eveleen….” Mother pleaded.
“Don’t worry Mom I’m not complaining..” she dismissed with a flick of the hand as if in a face to face conversation with her.
“I know, so am I going to be a grandma soon?” She asked and Eve figured her wriggling her head like an anxious school girl.
“Mom…” Eve laughed.
“What? Don’t you want to give me a grandchild?”
“Well I’m with your grandchild already..” Eve expounded and smiled genuinely as she heard a gasping sound from the other end.
“You’re pregnant?”
“Yes Mom…”
“Oh my gosh that’s such a good news. Hale is one fast shooter.” She said,elated.” Is he there with you?”
“No,but I’ll tell him you called..”she said nonchalantly but didn’t mean it.
“Alright do that for me I’ll talk to you later,I can’t wait to tell your Dad about this…” The elated woman crooned.
Eve sighed and rolled her eyes,she dropped the meek act when once her Mom hung up.
“Everyone will be happy about this baby..”
She thought, stretching her hand to the nightstand in order to drop the phone but it chimmed again.
“Ugh..” Eve huffed and tossed it on the nightstand with the decision not to pick it.
The call trailed and came in again.
Maybe it was important.
Picking it up,she glanced at the bright screen and sighed again. It was Rose.
She picked the call and took the phone to her ear.
“Hello babe…” She said amid sighs.
“What’s up girlie..” came the voice from the other end.
“Ya’ll got to pay for ruining my sleep” Eve whinned.
“I don’t think I’ll have to pay,I called because I had a reason to.. so how was your night?”
“Superb and yours?”
“Not good and that’s because of you.”
“Me?what did I do?”
“Nothing I was just thinking about you,I thought you’ll try to pickup a fight with him” Rose explained, sincerely.
“Oh Rose..” Eve sighed, touched by her genuine care.
“I’m serious,I was praying for you..”
“Thank you,so why did you call?”
“I’m outside your gate, I came for the work stuff remember.?”She said and Eve gasped. What was she still doing in bed?
“Okay, just give me thirty minutes.”
“Thirty minutes, alright don’t keep me waiting..” Rose warned and hung up..
“God damnit!!” Eve cursed pushing back the duvet.
Undecided on what to do, she hauled herself out of the bed. Half-staggered and half-walked into the bathroom to do her toiletries, but she spent few of the time lying in the tub. It was a luxury she had missed out on for quiet some time.
Now,she stretched out a foot and scrub gently with her sponge,till it was pale from scrubbing.
Humming a lullaby,she scrubbed her wh0le body tenderly after which she sat back in the tub, enjoying the warmth of the tepid water on her bare skin.
She felt really happy for Hale’s new change.
“Now I can eat and relax, without being afraid of anyone” she said aloud as if in conversation with someone.
Without the pregnancy,this could not have been possible. Eve thought. How helpless she had been in those days when Hale was cruel.
How nice to say good morning and mean it.
She stepped out of the tub, walked out of the bathroom and drying herself with a fluffy white towel admired her curves in the full length mirror.
Her br-ast still stood firmly on her chest and she noticed her still flat belly,as she dried a trickle of water running down her stomach.
Gradually,she took her gaze off her body and onto her face. A smile of satisfaction escaped her. Her face,she thought was better than it had been since she got into the house.
She finished dressing, taking time to pack her hair,when she finnaly got it into the shape she desired she flashed a broad smile.
Then she took a mascarat and applied it thickly on her eyelashes.
After that,she reached for a red l¡pstick on the table and coated her l-ips,then admired herself in the mirror for a moment.
She admired the effect of the l¡pstick and her face was littered with smug smiles. Next,she wore her wrist watch and spread herself with the ritzy ultra krigler cologne and the air was redolent with delicate fragrance.
A peek into the mirror told her she looked superb.
“Good to go..” she smiled as she slipped into a pair of black stiletto heels. The stiletto matched with her black watch,which contrasted the black slits of her grey dress.
This was just about perfect for the belle leaving her room with a smile,like someone who had just woken up on the right side of the bed.
She walked into the living room and met Hale, she would’ve passed him without uttering a word but on an instance she muttered a greeting and walked pass him.
Is there any need to get one’s mood ruined,when it’s still early?.
“Where are you going to?” Hale asked and she stopped on her track.
He was watching the early morning news over a mug of coffee but quickly dropped his mug and got up on seeing Eve. He was really surprised to see her fully dressed.
“As you can see,I’m going out..” she replied airily as she turned to face him, giving him the chance to get a good view of her dress.
She wore a grey dress,long sleeve and tight across the h¡ps,with two slits leading down the hem area.
“To?” He breathed at last.
“Well I just found a new love..”
Hale’s heart skipped.
“I mean a work, I’m going with Rose..” she said and he sighed but his face creased into a frown as he stared briefly at her dress.
“You’re going to work dressed like this?” He queried, pointing his brows down her dress.
“What’s wrong with my dress.?” She thr-st her hands in the air, doing this the slit of her dress parted but she didn’t pull them together. A slow and deliberate move that only heightened the suspense that crept into the room.
Immediately, Hale’s eyes strayed to those flawless thighs his legs could no longer carry him. He collapsed on the nearest coach and let out a light sigh.
“I love this lady!” His subconscious mind kept whispering this to him as he stared at the lady who stared back at him.
“You’re not going anywhere Eve,not in that dress.” He stated and she frowned.
“What’s wrong with it?” She asked,still frowning.
“It’s way too short and revealing..” he complained. “Go in and change it..”
“What is wrong with you? this is practically a burka compared to what others are wearing” She sulked, arms crossed.
“You’re not others,and did you call this mini dress a burka?are you planning on sed-cing your Boss?” He queried the lady who hissed.
“How dare you?” She fumed. “Wh-re,is that what you see me as?”
“Don’t misquote me,I didn’t say that. All I’m saying is that I don’t like what this dress is stating.”
“Jealousy looks good on you” she spat shooting him daggering glares.
Was he jealous? Maybe just a little bit. No, extremely,he was really jealous and it was obvious.
“You’re my wife Eve.” He said as a matter of fact,in case she had forgotten.
“So?” Eve hissed and rolled her eyes.
“So you’d listen to me and do what I tell you.” He barked.
“I Know you’re looking for a way to start a fight this morning but you know what, I’ll just overlook you..” she said and made to walk away but he stood in her way.
“What is this Hale?” Her brows twitched and her forehead furrowed.
“Don’t try me Eve,today won’t be like yesterday..” he warned.
“You’re in my way..” she shot back.
“Go in,side and change into something decent else you’re not leaving this house,infact don’t change you’re going no where.” He stated In angry tones.
“What?”
Eve couldn’t believe her ears.
“I don’t want you to work, everything here is on me and not you. You’re not the one handling all the bills so there’s no need to work..”
Did he just say that?
“You’re not serious Hale,I need to work,I can’t stay idle” she pointed out,her voice gaining sharpness this time.
“I don’t want you to work,so you’re not going anywhere..” he rapped.
“I’ll love to see you stop me..”She dared and made to walk pass him but he caught her arm by her wrist and pulled her back,then force her into a sofa.
“Stay away from me!!” Eve yelled and made to get up but stopped as he pointed his index at her.
“Stay there. You’re going no where!!” He bawled and walked up to the door with a decision to lock it but just as he touched the doorknob,the doorbell rang.
Instinctively,he touched the doorknob and turned it sideways.
The door slid open and he gaped at who he saw in front of the door.

Episode 25
(What the hell?)
“Stay there. You’re going no where!!” Hale bawled and walked up to the door with a decision to lock it but just as he touched the doorknob,the doorbell rang.
Instinctively,he touched the doorknob and turned it sideways.
The door slid open and he gaped at who he saw in front of the door.
Hale just kept staring at his doppelganger in shock. If he was expecting to see Rose or someone else at the door then he wouldn’t have been surprised but he was dazzled when he opened the door and met Philip.
“Won’t you usher me in brother?” It was more like an order than a question.
Gobsmacked Hale opened the door w¡der wondering if he ought to ask him to get lost or let him in.
Not knowing what to do he stood awkwardly infront of the door, while he thought of retrieving into the room and slamming the door In Philip’s face but Philip placed a possessive hand on the doorcase as if he could read his brother’s mind.
“What are you doing here?” Hale asked at last but grumpily.
“Can’t I visit my own brother again?”
A smirk dangled round the corner of Philip’s mouth.
Hale glared at him as he tap the surface of his shoulder.
How dare he touch him?
“You’re not welcomed here..” he muttered under his breath.
“I saw that coming,but I am not here for you. I came to see your wife,so where is she?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Like I said,I came here to see…” He trailed as a clatter of heel came behind Hale.
Philip pushed his face closer and saw Eve. She had come to see who it was and when she saw Philip her face looked like she had just seen a ghost.
“Eve..!” He exclaimed and Hale turned to look.
“I’ll just….uhm I’ll just….” She stammered not knowing what else to say or do,but run and gather some composure.
Now,standing in the privacy of her room,Eve placed a hand on her chest and looked into the mirror.
Good God,Philip….! She exclaimed in her head.
What is he doing here?
Did she hear him say he’s looking for her?
Can she face him?
What will she say?
“Relax Eve,relax. This isn’t the first time you’ll be seeing him..” She scolded herself and breathed deeply then exhaled softly.
Calmer now,she smiled and returned to the living room but when she saw him again,now walking towards her,her heart began to thump again.
She walked clumsily but Philip caught her before she tripped.
“Philip…”
“I’m sorry Eve..”
“No it’s not you, it’s me..”
She laughed nervously, glancing at Hale who stood in the middle of the room staring at them.
“It’s wonderful to see you…” He said as she straightened herself.
“And you” she expected him to let go of her arms, but he didn’t.
“I didn’t…”
“It’s been…”
They spoke simultaneously then stopped,then tried again.
“I didn’t…”
“It’s been…”
The same thing happened.
“It’s been quiet a while..” Philip said,gently letting go of her arms.
“I thought I’ll never see you again.”
“That’s not possible, we’ll always see each other. Nothing can change that..”
Philip draped an arm on Eve’s wa-ist. Hale stared in rage for a moment before walking up to the wine bar, willing himself to be calm.
A few seconds after helping himself to a stiff glass of whiskey,he threw a glance at their direction. Hale saw that Philip’s arm was gone and they were both walking out of the door, Eve’s back turned to him. How dare Philip. Hale continued to glare,she turned and he looked away knowing she had sensed him watching.
“You do look nice..” Philip boomed as they stood in the balcony. “I must confess Hale is doing a great job with you..”
“Thank you and you don’t look bad yourself. Who is she.?” She asked slavily resting her arm on the rail.
“Who is who?”.
“The lucky lady. Who is she?”
“There’s no lady. Still you…”
His elbow nudge Eve around her wound area and she winced, shielding the area with her hand.
“What is it,did I hit a wound?” He asked alarm. “Did he hurt you,what happened to you,tell me about it. I want to know everything.”
Eve rolled her eyes, feeling suddenly irritated by his question. Did he think he could simply swagger back into her life and ask whatever he wished.
“Well..” she started and stopped, reflecting on the incident when she got stabbed. “It was just an accident,I tripped down the stairs..” Eve lied and wondered why she did so.
“Are you sure he hasn’t been maltreating you?’
“Yes,why would he?”
She stared at his shoulders and was tempted to touch them, just slip a hand behind his back and rest it on his shoulder like old times.
“Maybe he does but you just don’t want to say it”
“He doesn’t, we’re fine. Everything is fine..”
“You sure?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Still he persisted.”Is there something I need to know?”
“Why do you think I’m keeping something from you?”
“Cause you’re always keeping things from me” Philip said remembering a similar debate with her. “Even when you’re in pain,you wouldn’t want to share..”
She gulped,then they stood for some moments in silence,each with their own thoughts. She wanted to ask him about Rilly. They had not yet spoken since the other day. She wanted to tell him about her pregnancy but didn’t know how to start.
“What are you thinking?”
“Pardon?”
“It seems like you’re thinking about something,what is it?” She asked loudly,this time so he could hear.
“I’m remembering those days,there were good times together…” Philip stared across the pool at the other side.
She didn’t reply but only gazed at the pool,watching the blue waters. “Yes and I remember all my pleas, begging that we should find a way to make things work..” she thought. Then looked back at him,he was watching her,so she turned away.
“I missed you..”
“I know and…..”
“Everything we shared..”he said softly,before she could finish. “Sometimes I wish I could just hit a reset switch. I would make different choices now.”
“And what would you change?”
“I would have still married you..”
He took her hand and squeezed it.
“But you said you….”
“I know,I know..” he cut in. “I realise what I’ve missed.”
“Philip…” Tears came to her eyes and she blinked them away.
“I have something for you..” he brought out a necklace from his slant pocket and handed it to her.
Eve stared at the precious metal and a wave of de ja vu flashed through her. She’ll bet she’s seen the metal before.
She glanced at Philip and he smiled. Eve’s curiousity sparked. Damn she has seen this thing before or haven’t she?.
“I gave you that on our first date..” Philip said interrupting her muse.
She was right all along. She has seen this before and even used it.
More tears weld up. “So?”she asked brushing away the tears. “So why are you giving it to me again?”
Eve run the tip of her toungue over her l-ips—– how he loved those l-ips.
“I just want you to know that I still love you..”
He couldn’t lie to her,never had,never would. It would have been like lying to his own soul.
“You do?” She asked struggling to hold more tears as he pulled her against him; being anywhere near her always made him want to do that. Good God,she felt good,soft and warm and curvy in all the right places. She looked particularly lovely that morning,with her skin glowing and her blonde hair done up in a neat bun. He wanted to loose that bun and watch those gleaming blonde tresses fall around her shoulders,down her back. He wanted to run his_____
“You still love me.?” She asked loudly this time so he could hear.
“Yes and I always will..” Philip smiled and held her head to his but she looked away knowing what he was about to do.
“I’m sorry..”
She moved away from him.”This isn’t right.”
“Why?”
“I’m married..”
“So?”
Eve backed up until she was pressed against the rail. “This isn’t right,my husband is in….” she muttered as he advanced.
“Then let him see us..” Philip scoffed, but gently because he loved her,loved the way she was always scared.
He braced his hands against the the rail,one on either side of her,bent his head and took her mouth with his own. She resisted at first then with a little mo-n,put her arms around his neck and k-ssed him back.
It wasn’t right but she was tired_tired of thinking.
“Eve!!” Hale called and something strucked hærd against Philip’s jaw.
“Get away from her,you fool..!!” He swore. Philip spun and caught the next punch.
“d-ckhead!!” Philip swore, tasting blood.
“You just walk into my house and give my wife a k-ss” Hale fumed glaring at Philip who fingered the cut on his l-ips.
“Yeah that was just a k-ss!” Philip shouted angrily. “But the next time I come here I’ll f-ck her right in front of you.”
Eve tensed as she shielded behind him.
“Shut the f-ck up!!” Hale sneered.
“You wanna fight? Come let’s work it out!” Philip beckoned stepping forward,but Eve stepped out and blocked his part.
“Stop this the both of you!!”
TBC..
