(I married her and I love her till eternity)
Eva
I open my eyes and groan as a piercing pain stroke my head, I sit open and look around, I’m still in I and Fred’s room.
Phew! Grayson didn’t kidnap me.
My eyes zero on the clock, a gasp leaves my mouth.
How did I sleep this long, I wanted to make an apology breakfast.
I rip the covers off me and jump down the bed.
Just then the door open and I see Fred striding in with a tray in his hands.
Ok, like seriously I don’t understand my husband.
He’s angry at me and still caring for me at the same time? Is he normal?.
Anyway I pass him a smile but he just keeps his blank face on..
I got back on the bed, he puts the tray on the nightstand.
A plate of pancakes, a glass of milk and some medicines are on it.
“Good morning, Fred”
“Morning” he replies with no emotion.
He uses his palm to feel my temperature.
“How are you feeling?” He asked.
“I’m fine”
I try to lock gaze with him but he doesn’t let me, he keeps moving his eyes away from mine.
He is acting so indifferent towards me this morning, he’s acting out of character.
He usually likes to maintain eye contact with me when talking, but right now he is purposely avoiding my eyes.
“Luther said you will be having headaches, is your head aching now?” He sounds so professional.
Like a doctor talking to his patient, I don’t like it. Maybe I should apologise now.
“Fred I’m sorry”
He didn’t reply.
He takes the plate of pancakes, he cuts a small piece and bring it close to my lips.
“Eat something before you take your medicines”
I shake my head.
“I’m sorry. I know I was wrong, I know I was very wrong but I’m sorry. Please forgive”
I move closer to him and hug his waist from the side.
He drops the plate and clenched his jaw, he removes my arms from his waist and stands up.
“Take your medicine when you are done with your food” he turns and head towards the door.
I quickly stand up and chase after him, I jump on his back before he could reach the door. He stops.
“Fred, I’m really sorry”
“Get down!”
“No, not until you forgive me”
“Eva, get down!”
“I will if you forgive me. Fred, my sweet caring and strong husband” I start massaging his shoulder. “My hero, I’m sorry”
He walks back to the bed and pushes me off him, I fall back on the bed.
He faces me.
“So now you remember I’m your husband, now you realize that you are married. Eva, I’m getting tired of your sorries.
You can’t just do something wrong everytime and expect a simple sorry to solve it. Instead of saying sorry all the time, why not use your actions to demonstrate how sorry you really are…
You kissed another man, Eva. My wife kissed another man, why darling? Why?”
“Fred…. ”
“Oh, I get it. Is it because my kisses aren’t warm enough? Or is it because my kisses aren’t addicting? Wait… Are my kisses sloppy?”
“No!”
“No? Ah, surprising! Then, why did you kiss Jason?”
“I don’t know”
I honestly don’t know why I kissed Jason back, I didn’t know what I was thinking.
I love Fred and I didn’t mean to hurt him.
“You don’t know!” He runs his fingers through his hair and pulled it so hard that it hurts me watching him.
“Ok, let’s forget about the kiss. You agreed to be his girlfriend, right?”
“F-fake girlfriend.. no imaginary girlfriend”
“Does it make any difference? You agreed to be his girlfriend knowing fully well that you’re married” he points at my finger. “What’s that gold circle on your finger?”
I look down at my fingers and noticed the wedding ring I’m wearing.
And tears starts pouring from my eyes, I’ve messed up big time.
“Answer me Eva! What’s that on your finger?”
“W-wedding ring” I cried.
“My wedding ring, right? I gave that ring to you the day we signed our marriage certificate, right?”
I nod.
He releases a humourous laugh.
“Then why did you do this to me? Do you know because of this I’ve got a heart disease?”
I frown. A heart disease? How?
“My heart keeps making weird noises, the more the noise, the more pain I feel. Do you know I can die from this disease?”
Now I get what he meant. His heart is broken and I’m the cause of this heartbreak.
I guess this is the first time he is experiencing a heartbreak.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault, please spare Jason”
“You are still pleading for him, you are still defending him”
“Please Fred, I’m sorry, I’ll listen to you from now onwards. I’ll do anything you want me to, I’ll be a good wife and I’ll obey you. But please don’t kill Jason”
He closes his eyes and takes in deep breaths, he stays silent for a few minutes.
He opens his eyes.
“Fine! I can spare him but you must promise me something”
“Yes! Anything…”
“Anything?” He smirks but quickly wipes it off. “What if I say I wanna have you for breakfast?”
“Yes, you can have me all day if you want”
“Tempting but no!. I want you to cut all ties with Jason, I don’t want you to meet with him in secret. I don’t want to see his number on your phone and I don’t want to even hear you call his name or talk about him!”
Wow! That’s easy.
“Ok, I will”
“Good”
“B-but…”
“What?”
“Don’t you think it will be better if I talk to him in person?”
“Talk to him?”
“Yeah, like tell him to stop trying to get in contact with me”
He narrows his eyes at me and shakes his head.
“Did you forget what I just said? I don’t want you to meet with him in any way” he reaches out and pinches my cheek. “I’ll tell him myself, you just stay here and rest”
I nod.
He leans forward and pecks my lips softly.
“Does that mean you forgive me?”
“Yes, but don’t do it again or I might not be as forgiving”
“Yes, I promise I won’t do it ever again”
Just then our door open, Roy runs in with his uniform already on.
“Good morning, uncle!”
Fred turns to him and carries him in his arms.
“Morning, champ”
Roy turns me, I smiled at him but he simply glare and snarled at me.
Even though he’s just a kid, his glare is so harsh that I flinch back a little.
“Roy…..” I tried to hold him.
He snatch his hand from me.
“Uncle, someone’s looking for you” he tells Fred ignoring me.
“Someone is looking for me? Who could that be?”
“He said his name is Jared”
“Ok, tell him I’ll join him soon”
“Ok”
Fred puts him down, he looks at me and humph before he runs out.
Fred turns to me and pulls me to him.
“I’ll be out all day, don’t miss me too much” he said with a smug expression.
“I will”
“Remember don’t sneak out to see Jason, I’ll tell him to stay away from you myself”
“Thanks for sparing his life”
He scoff.
“I said I won’t kill him but I didn’t say I won’t hurt him”
“Huh!”
“Now stay here and be a good girl”
He place a lingering kiss on my lips and head out.
I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. I sit on the bed and take the plate of pancakes and starts eating.

Fred ?
I don’t know why but since Eva promise not to meet with Jason again, my heart disease suddenly calms down.
I see Jared flirting with Bianca as I walk down the stairs.
Roy is munching on his breakfast so he doesn’t notice what Jared is doing.
Bianca’s attention is on her laptop but Jared is trying so hard to distract her.
He takes her hand and kisses her knuckles. I shudder and look away in disgust.
“Hey, Jared!”
He looks up and smiles at me. He walks towards me and we did our bro handshake bumping our shoulders.
“What are you doing in my house so early, man?”
“Well, good morning to you too” he pause and look behind, then he frowns.
“What?”
“I was thinking I could see your wife and if she’s my ideal woman I will elope with her”
I hits the back of his head.
“Ow!”
“You wanna elope with my wife, you’ll have to come through me first”
“Really?”
“Yes! Before you elope with her you’ll have to defeat me”
He raise his hands.
“Humph! Fine, I give up, you are no fun at all” he slumps onto a sofa.
I reach out for my phone and dialed Gray’s number.
He picks on the first ring.
“Boss”
I rolled my eyes.
“Come in, I have a task for you”
I hang up. Not up to a minute Grayson rushed inside.
Jared pass me a questioning look but I ignore him and face Gray.
“Boss, what’s my task?”
“Yesterday, someone sneak inside my penthouse and tried to kill my wife” I pause and studies his reaction.
I see his adam’s apple move as it he’s gulping, his eyes looking everywhere but me.
Bianca stands up and move closer to me, a shocked expression on her face.
“I want you to investigate and bring that person to me, dead or alive!”
“Y-yes” he try to make his voice bold and firm but I can still detect fear in his voice.
“You can go back”
“Yes.. boss”
He turns and head out.
Jared rush to my side and pushes me.
“I thought we are supposed to be wary of him. Why did you ask him to investigate this issue?”
“I trust Grayson” I said loudly, loud enough for Grayson to hear.
I know he is still lingering around trying to listen to whatever I’m gonna say.
I placed a finger on my lips, telling Jared and Bianca to keep quiet.
Few minutes later, I hear his very faint footsteps move away.
I’m a professional killer, no matter how well you can sneak around I can always tell.
When I notice he has gone far, I turn to Bianca and Jared.
“Fred, we already know he is the enemy why don’t we just kill him?” Jared ask.
“And why did you tell him to investigate a crime he committed?” Bianca asked.
“Bianca, with time you’ll know why” I turn to jared. “If we kill him now where’s the fun in it? He wanna play games and I love playing games most, so why not play with him?”
“Fred….. ”
“Don’t worry, Bianca I know what I’m doing”
“Fred, we have to kill the guy before it’s too late”
“Jared, I wanna play with him. When I get tired of him, I’ll get rid of him”
He doesn’t say anything more. He simply nods.
Grayson I’m giving you time to come clean with me or I’ll just have to kill you.
“Come, Jared. Let’s go and visit Jerry”
.

Grayson ☠️
My plan didn’t work…. Eva didn’t die and it’s because of that little bastard…. Roy.
Just like his father got in my way back in the day, this brat also got in my way of killing Eva.
I know I can’t hurt Bianca but if that little brat of hers don’t stop getting in my way, I’ll get him out for good.
Then I’ll see how he can get in my way again.
But why did Fred want me to investigate this case? And he still trust me…. I should use his trust against him.
T. B. C.
Grayson leave our future power ranger alone
Fred don’t worry, that heart disease will kill you soon
