Chapter 38
Liam’s POV
We moved to the living room quietly while Mark was still waiting for a response from us.
“You are right Mark” I told him.
He smiled and glared at us again.
“I love Eve” I added.
“I love Liam too” Eve said slowly.
Mark opened his mouth wide then finally mouthed ‘Wow’.
“But you are not gonna tell Dad right?” I asked him.
“No, why will do that. I will not” Mark said.
“I… I think I need to leave now” Eve picked up her bag and I escorted her to the door.
“See you tomorrow Liam”she said to me.
“Don’t worry about anything at all okay? I would take of it” I told her; was about to kiss her on forehead but she moved away and left the house.
I returned to meet Mark.
“Mark. That’s it. I just can’t help it… I’m in love with Eve” I said picking up my shirt from the couch as I put it on.
“Obviously, but despite the fact that she’s still literally our step mom?”
“Ew Mark, it doesn’t sound good that way. And she’s leaving Dad soon.. we just need to do our thing gradually… You know she’s not happily married with our father. We love eachother” I sat down in front of him; rubbing my face because I didn’t know what to do.. I feel downcasted each and everytime I remember that the girl I love is my father’s wife.
“Hmmn” Mark.
“So just keep it a secret till we are able to sort ourselves out” I told him.
“Sure Liam” Mark smiled as he crossed his heart. He suddenly stood up and said; “Okay then, I’m out of here”
“What do you mean you are out of here already?” I also stood up.
“Funny thing is that, I only came to confirm my instincts… which turned out to be right”
“What Mark?”
“I’m smarter than you” He chuckled.. “Anyways, I am happy you’ve moved on with your love life.” He said tapping my shoulder as I watched him moved towards the door and he left.
Jeez… He has literally disrupted the sweet moments I was having with Eve.
I groaned lightly then threw myself on the chair as I began to think about Eve. She is so beautiful, what the hell did she do to make me so obsessed with her. Gosh I can’t even deny the fact that I love her as well as I want her to be around me. Besides, I barely fall in love with someone but once I do, I love really hard.
I imagined that she was still right in front of me, and I continue to drool over that love body shape she has. Gosh.. her tiny waist and moderate killer hips.. it’s probably why I can’t get my hands off her. Oh My God, I just wish to spend the rest of my day with her.. but we are still in a very complicated suitation.
My phone beeped, and I picked it immediately even after realizing that the number was strange.
“Hello” I said into the phone.
“Err… hello” An unfamiliar feminine voiced responded.
“Who am I speaking with?” I asked… but didn’t get any response. “Hello?” I said again.
“Janet” The lady replied.
“Janet, who’s Janet?..” I remembered before she could answer. “Oh wait! Eve’s best friend” I said.
“Best friend” I heard her muttered slowly.
I was wondering why she called me, I only collected her number, didn’t save it talk more of calling her. We don’t even know eachother.
“Look, let’s just say we’re now acquinted” She said.
“What?” I exclaimed and she hunged the call.
What’s going on here?
Ms Pitts called a while ago because she wants me to speak to her daughter? Okay she wants us to be pretty close and now, Janet called me and said we are now acquinted. She was supposed to ask after her friend or something is not just right here.

Eve’s POV
As soon as I got off the car, Mark drove in and packed behind.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Jeez I thought he was supposed to be at Liam’s.. because I was somewhat nervous that he found out about us so I left both of them.
“Hi” I muttered to him slowly.
How do we find a way to stay totally away from Mr Maya and also release myself from this mess, so that Liam and I can at least be together without any fear. It so unheard! I am in love and secretly in affair with my stepson. Jeez.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s not that bad. Aside that, I’m not telling him about it” Mark said as if he knew that I was thinking about and I smiled a bit as we walked into the house together.
We met Mr Maya with a Lady on their way to the door. This one is different from the slut he brought in the last time. I looked at the floor as I paved the way for them. Mr Maya didn’t even say a word to me instead he was caressing the lady’s a** as they made their way. Funny enough, that same lady winked her eyes at Mark but Mark smirked back.
“You see, my father is not even bothered about you, so do your thing… please be free” Mark said to me after they left and I nodded.. Yeah, Janet said the same thing. Everyone literally wants me to follow my heart. He walked up the stairs first then I went after him..
“Oops!” I was shocked at first when I found out that someone in my room then I figured out that it was Helen. She had earpieces on as she pressed her phone oblivious of my presence.
“You scared me!” I got her attention and she giggled.
“I’m just trying to block my ears from hearing those loud moans” She said as she took the earpiece off.
“They just went out now” I told her as I sat on the bed and took off my shoes tiredly.
“And how was work?” She asked me.
I stared into the space for a moment before saying;” Fine ”
“And the guy?” She asked me, I rolled my eyes and repeated the word “Fine”
She wanted to resume her usual conversation with me about whoever my anonymous boyfriend was.. but Mr Maya called her from downstairs.
“Oh Jeez! It’s time to go cook and I don’t know what this man wants from me” She grumbled as she stood up reluctantly.
“Just be careful with him okay?” I said and I watched her leave.
Haven had my batg and changed into a casual outfit, I picked up my phone to call my father. Yeah! I promised to always check up on him.
We spoke for a while and he didn’t sound like he was feeling any form of discomfort at all.. he was also so glad to hear from me.. but then, he asked after Mr Maya when I was just about to hung the call… I lied to him again that Mr Maya sent his regards through me because he is occupied with work.
Whereas, he’s occupied with woeing me and bringing home sluts.
Immediately I ended the call with my father, I sighted Janet’s contact on the line. Yeah, I already plan to call her today. I dailed her number.. at the same time I was eager to hear from her.
~ “Hello Janet” I said as soon as she picked up the call.
~”Eve?” She recongized my voice.
~ “Janet I’m so excited that I could finally reach you” I told her and I thought I would get that same happy vibe from her.
~”How are you Eve?” She spoke gloomy..
~ “Janet there’s definitely a lot to say to eachother and..” She interrupted me.
~ “I’m sorry Eve” She suddenly said.
~ “What are you sorry about?”
~ “Eve.. I don’t know what to say. But just make sure you are fine okay?” She said.. and she doesn’t seem happy to hear from me.
~ “Ye.. ah” I replied with that same solemn tone she was giving me.
I wondered what was wrong her yet I tried to start a proper conversation with her..
~ “Janet, do you know how I got your number, I saw your mom… she works with this old man that I.. that I got married to … Your mom also told me you are in college now.. ” She disconnected the call immediately.
~ “Janet” I uttered then glanced at my phone..
Why won’t she speak to me? What’s wrong? Besides why was she apologizing? Is it because she didn’t reach out to me… no, we both didn’t have eachother’s number.
I tried to call her number again but she already switched off her phone
