Chapter 52
Eve’s POV
“Eve is also planning a devoice. And I’m gonna help her.”
“I’ld love to help also” Janet said.
“But It won’t be easy because of the threat. Once your father signs a devoice letter. Which means he is breaking up the arranged marriage with Eve; then his aweful video would go viral at once” Janet said and I bit my finger, thinking of what to do.
“If you mom wants to really ruin my Dad, then why does she want you and I to be together?” I asked.
” don’t get what my mother is up”
“Gosh! I really thought my bad was the bad and cruel one. I never knew he was threatened. He brought this upon himself”
“So what do you suggest?” She asked me.
“I… I…” I couldn’t even think of a solution at that moment.
“Okay for sure, the relationship must break. Indirectly, we need to kill two birds with a stone” She said.. then suddenly grabbed my hand and said; “You need to save you family and you need to save your relationship Liam” She said and I was shocked.
“How.. how do you know?” I asked her.
“I.. Uhm, I have been off college recently to check on Eve” She said.
“Have you been spying at us??” I exclaimed.
“Not really. I know you love her Liam and it’s pretty much obvious right now. And I would love to help if this is the only way I can make it up to her” She said.
“Uhm, First Janet, I think you need to meet your friend. Eve really needs to know all this. She would be more disheartened when she finds out that I also know about it” I told her.
“I’m afraid Liam, she won’t forgive me”
“She definitely hear you out first” I said but she kept mute, nervously pinching her fingers. She rushed the coffee too.
“Are you ready to meet your friend?” I asked her.
“Will… will you give me some time?” She asked. I sighed and said okay.
But at the same time, I would not love to do somethings that has to do with Eve; behind her.

Even when It was time for the short break. Liam is yet to return. George and Maria literally spent the time with me ~ teasing me to speak up on our Liam and I started dating… yeah, I sold to then a catchy lie though. They stayed in my office till it was recess. Daisy on the other hand, stole the opportunity to go see someone. She pleaded with me that I cook up a lie just incase Liam return to the office before her.
And Why do I feel that something is wrong somewhere,
He was in a hurry just when we had plans today.
While I , George and Maria were having our lunch at the office cafeteria; it was just then that Daisy returned.
“You are so lucky, Mr Liam is not back yet” George said to her.
She smiled and pulled out a seat.
“I know right, I saw him” Daisy said.
“You saw Liam? What? Where is he ? Back at the office?”
“Geez Eve, I do not mean to destroy your new relationship but I saw Mr Liam was having a coffee date with another lady!” Daisy announced.
“What??” I exclaimed.
Not because I was jealous or something but he only told me that he went to see a friend..
“Maybe he is not the one or he probably look like Liam” I said, faking a smile.
“I’m so sure. I would have called him or waved at him but I didn’t want him to know that I sneaked out also” She said.
“Take it easy Eve. It’s a rare case to find a guy with just one girlfriend” George said, placing his hand on my shoulder but I brushed it away.
“Not every guy is like you George” Maria fired at him.
“And Daisy, maybe you misunderstood… We clearly know that Mr. Liam is a unique kind of guy… Maybe the lady you saw him with was just a cheerleader; Mr. Liam is freaky wealthy and handsome… mmm” Maria said.
“But they were having Coffee and they were holding hands” Daisy continue..
“Didn’t you just say you don’t wanna destroy her relationship” Maria fired.
“Oops.. sorry Eve” Daisy said.
“You guys don’t need to quarrel, it’s fine” I told them; Of course I’m not jealous right? Somehow, I still trust Liam even with what Daisy just said. I’m just so surprised and shocked.
“I’ll be at the office guys” I told them then I stood up.
“We just got our meal, you haven’t even eaten” George said.
“I… I have lost my appetite” I said, then left.

I returned to the office, which was quite and scanty because almost everyone has gone outside for break.
I sat down in my unit, stared into the space.. almost lost in thought.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Why do I feel uneasy even when I claim that I trust Liam and he won’t cheat on me?
But he lied to me that he was going to see a friend whereas he went to see a girl. A girlfriend. His second girlfriend.
I swallowed my saliva.. And the more I tried not to think of any crazy thing, the more those thoughts kept coming and I left like I was betrayed. I really don’t wanna say ‘Heartbroken’ yet.
This simply shows that I was the one who loved him more but he made me think he does. Maybe because I confessed to him about my feelings first.
I knew it, there’s no way he’ld want to move on with me inspite of how we are related.
I sighed.. and my eyes eventually became clouded with tears. I gave him my virginity! Jeez why did I ever fall in love with him?
Both father and son decision was to ruin me! I’m ruined! Arrrrgh!
I smelt his perfume and heard his footsteps; I knew he was back even before he showed up.
“Hey Love” Liam said to me when he got here.
At first I didn’t want to reply him but I did sheepishly; “Hey” without love and it’s high time stop calling me love since he doesn’t mean it. I looked away but he came closer.
“It’s lunch break or where you waiting for me?” He asked.
“No” I blurted at him and he was puzzled.
“Oh.. k. Why are you mad?” He asked but I didn’t say anything.
“Oh! I’m sorry I failed to keep my promise. I was supposed to return early” He spoke but I gave him a stern look, still not saying anything.
“Eve, there is something we need to talk about” He said.
“Nevermind about that and Stop deceiving me Liam” I said.
“Deceiving? What are you talking about?” He said, looking at me but I rolled my eyes.
Then I stood up, hit my table and confronted him; “Just say you don’t want your father and I to devoice rather than settling than another lady.. afterall, our relationship has just barely started” I voiced out.
“I… I.. I so much want you to be free, I don’t understand, so what are you talking about Eve?”
I scoffed; “I don’t trust you anymore Liam! Daisy.. err someone saw you with another girl having a date at a coffee shop!” I continued to raise my voice… i don’t know why he started smiling instead of feeling any remose.
“I think I understand now, it’s normal for girls to be jealous. I would do the same regardless of how much I trust you” He said but I hissed and folded my hand.
“Anyways, I’m still finding a way to help you out and the person I went to meet at the coffee shop was J – ”
“It was me” Janet came in.
“Janet” I exclaimed.. surprised.
