Chapter 24
Eve’s POV
“Mr. Maya is back” Helen whispered to me as soon she opened the door to let me in…
“Eve” I sighted Mr. Maya in the living room with a visitor.
“Good evening” I mumbled… wondering if I didn’t get on his nerves by going out without informing him.
“Where are you coming from Eve?” Mr. Maya asked me.
“I didn’t tell him that you went to the supermarket” Helen whispered to me again.
“Errm I… went to see a friend” I said.
“Do you already have friends around here?”
“Yea.. h, kind of” I stammered.
“Is it a male friend?” He asked me.
“No, he is not… I mean; No” I said.
“Hmm… You are now a married lady Eve; you should cut off every friend you have… and even boyfriend. They’ll mislead you” He said. Is that supposed to be an advise? Duh.
I stood there; scratching my hair that wasn’t even itching.
“Come closer” He beckoned me and I obeyed..”Meet Andrew” He said;
“Hello… my pleasure meeting with you” The guy waved at me and I just nodded.
“Andrew; her name is Eve… Eve, Andrew will be the one to drive you down to the company henceforth” Mr. Maya said.
“Oh” I mouthed.
“Since Liam won’t be here anymore. I hired Andrew… And he would be here every morning then later after work; you put a call through him to pick you up” Mr. Maya said.
“Thank.. you sir” I appreciated him.
“Can I have your phone Eve?” The Andrew guy asked me.
“Why?”
“So that I could save my number” He replied.
“Oh Okay” I gave him my phone.
“Saved as Andrew” He said giving the phone back to me.
I received it and went back upstairs… and Helen followed me immediately.
“Now tell me where are you coming from, ‘cos it’s definitely not the supermarket.. you didn’t even come back with the bag you took along with you” She said immediately after we got to my room
“Thank you for saving my ass Helen” I took a very deep sign of relief. “I actually went to a friend’s place and somehow, somewhat… i gave uhm.. him.. her the bag”
“Since when did you start making friends Eve” She asked me but I didn’t say anything; “You are being suspicious Helen, did you go out with your boyfriend?” She asked me.
“No, no, no. I told you that I do not have a boyfriend”
“Find one… ” She voiced out.
“What? I am still married to Mr. Maya” I told her.
“So what? Are you tryna call it cheating?” She retorted and I was mute.
“Listen, the old man is happy because he has other ladies out there but here you are; tryna play a good girl but you are sad deep down about the marriage. I’ll urge you to find a guy that makes you happy too” Helen said.
I rolled my eyes and murmured; “Do you have a boyfriend?”
“I’ll date whoever I like not who likes me. In short, if the feeling is mutual, I’ll go ahead” She responded and I understood what she was tryna say.
“Helen, I am gonna sign the papers” I informed her, bringing it out from where I kept it.
“Aren’t you afraid of him anymore?”
“Not really, I would sign the papers and act smart” I whispered and she understood.
“Give me a high five Eve” She raised her hand up and shaped mine.”So Madam Theresa brought the sleeping pills today; I would give it to you later” Helen said.
“Sure it has no side effects?” I asked her.
“Why do you care? you should be praying that he sleeps till death and go to hell” Helen said.
“Jeez, no Helen. We are not killing Mr. Maya” I murmured.
“What.. what if someone’s eavesdropping right now, he or she would think we are really planning to kill him. Hell no. The pills would make him sleep for almost twelve hours” Helen told me.
“Twelve hours? That’s literally half a day” I blurted.
“Stop being so concerned Eve, He deserves even more” She scolded me.
“Hmmn Okay”
I took out a pen and sign the papers…
“Go give it to him now and tell him to go to hell” Helen said.
“Helen!” I cautioned and she was laughing.
“I’ll go give him now”
“Be an actress” She said when I was about to leave the room.
“Why? What do you mean by that?” I questioned her.
“Put on a smile…. a small smile” I smiled…
“Now good.. Wink” I did.
“Perfect, This is the way you should communicate with him. A normal face and a frown makes it obvious that you are not interested in him at all. Mr. Maya might be studying you and then one day he bounces back” Helen said.
“Yeah, Liam said his father can be so cunny that I won’t know his next move” I told her.
“Oh Liam! I must admit that I miss that bold yet sweet guy and I have come to realize that he is” She said and I smiled..:” I know what you are thinking right now but no, I am not crushing” She said.
“I wasn’t even thinking anything”
“Whatever, now go… I’ll be right here, I’ll show up in the next seven minutes if you are back yet. Don’t forget to smile and wink, try to be seductive, a fake one okay?” She advised me
“Roger that!” I told her… while she watched me walk down the stairs…

They weren’t in the living room (Mr. Maya and Andrew). So I went straight to Mr Maya’s room.
“It’s Eve” I said after knocking on the door.
“Oh Eve… What a surprise visit… in my room” He opened the door and let me in.
“What about Andrew?” I asked.
“He would be back tomorrow morning… to pick you up, I told you that earlier.” He replied.
“Oh that’s right” I muttered… I left space between us by slowly moving backward.
“Are you still upset with me that I went out of the house?” I asked him.
“No dear; of course not” He responded.
I smiled then gave him the papers…” I have signed them” I told him.
“Oh My God! ” He exclaimed.. collected the papers, went through them then kept them aside.
“Come over here Eve” He said spreading his hands out.
I gave him a funny smile then hugged him… What was I expecting from him? Just a hug? Of course not… He caresses my butt as usual..
“Don’t worry, I would be very gentle with you” He told me.
“No, You are the one who shouldn’t be in a rush. I’m spending the whole night with you” I whispered back and looks like that response made all his nerves calm… I was able to get away from him without pushing him.
“Tonight, immediately after dinner… I’m all yours” I winked at him.
“That sounds too good.. a special dinner after the main dinner” He said grinning.
“Exactly” I smiled.. already walking towards his door.
He blew a kiss at me… with that old stinky mouth of his.
Immediately I got out of his room, I hissed…
Then I saw Helen…
“I didn’t come at the right time” She said.
“Nah he couldn’t even have his way” I whispered, pulling her away from there… so that we could communicate better.
“I promised him that we would have our first night together this night” I told her and she opened her mouth.
“I would put the sleeping pills in his drink” I told her.
“Gosh I love the way you think” She said, making me smile.
“Thanks to you and Madam Theresa” I retorted.
“You know I’m the one in charge of the food, serving and stuff, so just leave it for me to handle” She patted my shoulder.
“You are so sweet Helen. I love you” I said giving her a tight hug.
“Darn it! go change into something else Eve! You smell of Mr. Maya” She said.
“I rebuke it” I furrowed… “I would go have a thorough shower and change into something else… I don’t ever want to have Mr. Maya’s whiff whiff ” I said and she laughed at me.
“I’ll be in the kitchen, getting everything all set” She said.
“Please do that quickly. I am very hungry” I told her.
“Why won’t you be very hungry?” She emphasised dramatically. “So you went to see a friend and he or she didn’t even offer you something to eat” She said and I gave an eye roll.

When I was done bathing that evening, I put on something simple.. then I heard Helen’s voice announcing from downstairs that the dinner’s ready.
I rushed down the stairs only to meet Mr. Maya and Mark already at the dining table.
“Oh Mark, I didn’t know you have arrived” I said to him as I sat down next to Mr. Maya.
“Just a while ago” He mumbled and I noticed that he was giving his father a very stern look but the old man didn’t notice that.
Oh, they are not good terms.
We ate our meal quietly… I suddenly felt a hand on my lap… It was Mr. Maya, I looked at his face and he smiled…
“I really can’t wait” He whispered into my ears.
I fake back a smile and watched him while he ate.
He hasn’t even had his drink yet… yet he ate hungrily but he continue sliding his hand under my skirt ( under the table).. Little did he know that I wasn’t comfortable.
Mark didn’t even notice, he was eating and pressing his phone oblivious of his father and his s*xual doings.
I held Mr. Maya’s hand under the table to make him stop but he dropped his cutlery instead then stood only to announce that he was done eating.
“What?” I exclaimed… He didn’t touch his drink… Gosh! I should have told Helen to sprinkle the pills in the food too.
“Meet me in the room” He said, kissing my forehead
“I….. Mr Maya” I called him back…”You… you didn’t even drink water, do you wanna choke?” I said and gave a weird laugh…
Then I took the glass of water then gave it to him to drink.
“Aww. Thank you baby” He said receiving it then he drink everything at once.
I collected the glass cup from him when he was done then I dropped it on the table.
“I would meet you in the room soon” I assured him.
“Do not keep me waiting” He said kissing my neck before leaving.
“Since when did you start to care about my Daddy?” Mark asked me when Mr. Maya left.
“He could choke, the meal is sort of spicy” I replied to him.
“You should have just let him choke” He smirked..
“You are just as tender as me” He murmured and I smiled.
I ate slowly; stylishly waiting for Mark to finish up with his meal. His phone suddenly rang, he stopped eating then picked it up…
~”Hello dear” He said into the phone; smiling as if the caller could see him.
Then he stood up to speak with the caller elsewhere.
I quickly stole that opportunity to go peep on Mr. Maya to know if he has start slumbering but Mr. Maya caught me peeping through his door.
“Is this some sort of foreplay? Come on in already. I was waiting for you” He said.
Geeez…
I walked in sluggishly; only to meet him already half-naked; he was putting on a singlet and guys’ pant which were revealing his hardened cock.
I shut my eyes for a moment
What’s happening? Does the drug take some hours to work or did Helen forget to put the pills in the drink?
“Come here dear” He came closer and pulled me to himself, making me to feel his d*ck.
“Let’s have our first night together” He whispered seductively as he carried me in a bridal style and lie me down on his bed.
“The… the… the door” I pointed at the door when he was about to lie on top of me.
“I’ll go shut the door” I said; stumbling up on my feet.
“I will do that” He said, moving to the door.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
What? I wanted to escape this one chance…
He locked the door and came back yawning…
“Why do I feel so tired?” He said.
“You… you are tired?” I asked him staring at his eyes, I could see that sleepy look.
“Yeah I am” He said.
“Come on Maya, let’s do this” I said; knowing fully well that he would sleep off soon.
“Yeah… Let’s..” He yawns again.
I had more strength to stand up…
“Okay.. Lie down on the bed… I’ll take over,” I said and he nodded then I pushed him to the bed.
“Mr. Maya?” I called his name when he didn’t say anything but he responded with a very long snore.
“Finally” I held my chest. My heart was still racing so I had to take a very deep breath.
“Mr. Maya?” I patted his hand to be sure he is truly asleep but he was… now murmuring a sort of nonsense.
“Good for you” I smiled happily and then walked out of his room…
…. Only to meet Mark standing right in front of me.
“.. uhn I was uhm… having a one -on- one talk with your father” I lied to him.
“Well, goodnight” He said then he climb the stairs.
