(I married her and I love her till eternity)
Eva.
I sit in front of the dressing mirror, combing my hair. I drop my comb on the dressing and look at my stomach, it’s still flat.
No bumps yet.
I close my eyes and imagine how I will look like with my babies bump showing, how big will my tummy be. Will I become fat? Ugly?
I feel arms go round my chest and hot kisses on my neck. I instantly know who it is, my husband.
“Beautiful, so beautiful” he murmurs in my ear.
I smile and stand, I turn around to face him. His eyes are closed.
“What if I become fat, will you still think I’m beautiful?”
He smiles and leans forward to kiss my forehead, his still closed though.
“Bae, you’ll always be the most beautiful woman in this world to me”
I giggle, I tiptoe and kisses his lips. That’s when it hits me, the strong smell of alcohol swifts across my nose.
He opens his eyes and I see it clearly, he’s drunk.
“Fred?”
“Yes, my love”
“Have you been drinking? Are you drunk?”
He laughs.
“I had a few drinks with Jared but I’m not drunk”
“You are not drunk?”
“Nope!”
He staggers back. I shake my head, this is the second time I’ve ever seen him get drunk.
“Come on, I’ll run a bath for you”
“Will you join me?”
“No, I just had a bath”
“Then I’m not gonna bath!”
“What?” I frown.
“Unless you join me, only then will I take a bath” he said then he turns towards our bed and falls on it.
He taps the space next to him.
“Join me, bae. Let’s sleep, come on”
“But yo…”
“I just wanna hold you in my arms” I hesitate.
Why did he get himself drunk? Is something bothering him?

Fred ?
I watch as my wife hesitate to join me on our bed, she narrows her eyes and I know she’s wonder why I got myself drunk.
Truth be told, I’m not drunk, not at all. I did try to get drunk but the news I got at Jared’s place couldn’t let me get drunk, no matter how much alcohol I took.
In fact, it’s safe to say I emptied Jared’s mini bar, but I’m still not drunk..
“Bae, please. Just let me hold you, I missed you”
She smiles and jumps into my open arms, I rest her head on my chest and let her hear my heart beating.
“Fred?”
“Hm-mm”
“Why are you drunk? Did something happen?”
“Nothing happened…. Jared and I just got lost in our drinking contest”
“Why will you have a drinking contest with him?”
“We just wanted to know who can hold their liquor better”
She hits my stomach.
“You are stupid” she said.
“I know, but I’ll only be stupid for you”
She giggles.
Which makes me wonder how a sweet, innocent girl like her would be involved in the case.
What the fuck is going on?.
(*#)flashback, Jared’s penthouse (*#)

“Let’s drink until we are drunk” Jared said.
Just then his door open and one of his boys comes in.
“Boss!” He greets Jared before he turns to me.
“Young boss!” He greets with a small bow.
“Thomas, what brought you here? I thought I asked you to investigate something!” Jared said.
Thomas nods.
“I’ve found it out”
“What did you find out?”
“The person behind Grayson!”
This caught my attention.
“Who?” I asked.
Thomas suddenly look nervous, he looks everywhere but me.
“Thomas?” Jared called him.
“Yeah!”
“Fred asked you a question!”
“I don’t know if I should say it because…..” Thomas looks at me and trails off.
From his expression and behavior I can tell he’s trying not to say something, I think he’s scared to offend me.
“Thomas speak!!” I bang my hand on the table.
Thomas quickly bows his head.
“It has something to do with your father-in-law, young boss”
My gaze hardened and I feel my eyes turning black.
“Are you fucking seeking your death? What does my father-in-law has to do with this?”
Jared holds my shoulder and shakes his head, telling me to calm down.
“I.. he.. I.. they..”
“I’d advise you choose your next words wisely!” I cut his stuttering off.
He nods frantically.
“I saw Grayson together with your father-in-law last night at Connor’s, they seem to know each other quite well.
They sit at the vip section, away from other people hearing. They had a long deep conversation, so I believe he’s the one behind Grayson. But…..”
He stops and wipes his sweat, I frown. Am I that intimidating?.
“But what? Go on, Thomas” jared said.
“I don’t think he’s the only one behind Grayson, there was a woman.
She and your father-in-law seem very close to each other, in fact seeing the three of them together, they seem like a happy family”
“What?!” I growled.
“Are you sure of what you are saying? Are you sure you saw it well? Are you sure it’s my father-in-law you saw?” I asked.
“Yes, young boss. After I left Connor’s, I did some background check and I find out that your father-in-law and that lady are having an affair.
Your marriage with your wife is just an excuse for your father-in-law to get closer to you and your family. But why he is doing all this I know nothing about it” Thomas said.
I growled loudly and throw the bottle of tequila in my hand across the living room.
It’s all a lie…. it’s all a show..,. he was never faithful and loyal to my family.
“Is that all, Thomas?” Jared asked him.
“Yes, boss!”
“Then you can leave!”
“Thank you, boss” he leaves.
Jared turns to me.
“Fred….”
“Eva’s dad? Why is he doing this?”
“We don’t know so….”
I raised my hand and cut him off.
I frown. He lied to everyone and he’s fooling everyone that loves him, his wife and daughter, Eva.
He pretends to be a good man and he’s no place near one.
“So Eva has being helping him?” Jared ask.
I send him a harsh glare.
“Eva has nothing to do with this! She is just a pawn, she was used and she didn’t even know it!”
“Fred….”
“I don’t wanna say anything, let’s just drink”
I pop a cover and take the bottle straight to my mouth.
(*#)End flashback (*#)
Even though she brought my enemies closer to me, I can’t hate her.
Because firstly, she doesn’t know she’s being used. Secondly, she’s the woman I love, the mother of my children.
I can’t hurt her. Which is why I can’t tell her about her disappointment of a father.
She snuggles more into me as if trying to take all the warmth in my body. Soon I hear her soft breath, I lift my head and look down at her.
She has fallen asleep. I smile, my beautiful and innocent wife.
After all this is over, I’ll give her all the love she deserves.

Grayson enters his apartment and sees Selene sitting on his couch, blood stain all over her.
“What in hell happened here?”
Selene lifts her head and sees him.
“Our plan failed” she replies.
“Failed, how?!”
She gestures to her clothes.
“Is this enough explanation? Luckily Fred stopped Bianca in time or I’d be dead by now”
Grayson smiles at the mention of Bianca’s name.
*That’s my girl* he thinks to himself.
“It’s hard to get rid of Eva’s baby while she is still in that house”
Grayson sits down.
“Don’t worry, if we can’t make her lose her baby in the house, how about we do it outside?”
Selene frowns in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean we will kill Eva and the baby outside” he smirks.
“Huh?”
“We’ll make her die painfully in an accident”

T. b. c.
Oh, Fred’s father-in-law ?? who would’ve thought he’s involved too?
