(I married her and I love her till eternity)
Eva
I look at my father, he’s chained against a pole. His white shirt stained with blood all through, the mere sight of him makes me wanna puke.
Fred’s hand is at the small of my back, supporting my weight. We stand at about 7ft away from him.
Dad laughs as he sees me, his gaze shifts to my stomach and lingers there for a moment. I involuntarily wrap my arms around my stomach.
My heart beating fast.
“I see you are pregnant, bitch!” He said.
I ignore him and smile.
“Dad….”
“Don’t call me that!” He interrupts me.
I flinch back a little, but Fred holds me still.
“Why won’t I call you that, you are my dad”
“I’m not your fucking father, I can’t birth a fool like you!”
“W-what do you mean?”
“You came too late, you’d have seen how your husband torture and killed your brother. So mercilessly!”
My brother? I have a brother?
I turn to Fred, his face is void of any emotions.
“I have a brother?”
“Yes, Grayson is your elder brother”
Grayson?! How can it be?
I have been with dad and mom all my life, I would have known if they had a son before me.
“You are lying, you and Mom didn’t have any son”
“I said I’m your goddamn father!”
He is lying.
“Where’s Mom?”
“I killed the bitch!”
My heart stopped, so it’s true, Fred was telling me the truth.
My mom is a kind woman and my dad killed her for nothing. I can’t believe my father would do this, he can’t kill Mom.
Or maybe he’s covering for someone.
“Dad, tell me the truth, you didn’t kill Mom. Tell me you are taking the blame for someone else”
He laughs.
“I killed the bitch with my hands, I killed her without any effort, she’s such a weakling”
“Why did you killed her? When did you become this evil?”
His face turned serious.
“I have never been good, I killed her because she knew too much, she wanted to expose me.
I need her to kept my secret forever, so I sent her to her grave. Only the dead keep secrets”
I stare at him in disbelief.
“You killed her just to keep your secrets?”
“Yeah!”
I shake my head..
“Your secrets… aren’t they exposed now? Look around and tell me where you are… this is not your living room”
“So? Are you gonna kill me now?”
“You said you are not my father, then who is my father? Where is he?”
He laughs.
“I killed him, your father was too weak minded. He betrayed me, he forgot about our promise”
What?
“How did he betray you?”
“Your weak father was my younger brother, our father was working for the real Russell, Fred’s grandfather.
Then one day we got news that he’s dead, Fred’s grandfather claimed our father died protecting him. But I did some investigations and find out he sent our father on a mission, a mission that claimed his life.
I was livid, I told my brother about this, he was also very angry. So we decided to get our revenge, we planned it carefully, we manage to get my brother a position in Fred’s father’s Mafia.
My brother won Fred’s father’s trust, and he became his right hand man. But when it was time to kill Fred’s father, my weak brother couldn’t do it. He claimed that Fred’s father is innocent and we shouldn’t take revenge on the innocent.
I tried to persuade him to change his mind, but he wouldn’t. I had no choice but to kill him and his wife, at the time they had two children. A boy of 6 years old and a toddler baby girl, seeing as they are my brother’s kids I couldn’t kill them.
So I separated them, I drug and dumped the boy at an orphanage, then I took the girl home to my wife and lied about her identity.
I took it upon myself to get our revenge myself, my plan was almost successful until I found grayson some months ago. I introduced myself as his uncle, he told me the reason I couldn’t find him all these years was because the Russells made him Fred’s shadow.
Protecting Fred in the shadows, so I turn his mind against Fred. But that bastard is just like his father, my plan got ruined because of him too!!”
I couldn’t believe it, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. My legs start shaking, if not Fred that is holding me, I’d have find myself on the ground.
I point my finger at him.
I didn’t believe Fred when he told me that this man is not who I think he is.
“I have been calling you dad for 22years, I have been calling my parents’ killer dad”
I couldn’t stop myself, I snatched a gun from one of Fred’s men and points it at him.
“Bae, let me do it….”
“No! I must do this myself!”
Dad… No, Samuel laughs sadistically.
“What now?! You wanted to know the truth, now that I told how do you feel?”
“You are such a wicked soul, you killed your own brother and his wife, you killed your own wife just for what… Revenge?”
I grip the gun tightly in my hand, my finger on the trigger.
“You made me an orphan at a very young age, you separated me from my family.
You’ve been using me for your own selfish gains!!”
“Blame that on your weak father”
“Shut up!! I hate you!!”
“Bae, leave him to me, I’ll torture him, I’ll make him beg for death” Fred said to me.
But I just shake my head, I close my eyes and wipe my tears. But the tears doesn’t seem like it’s gonna stop anytime soon.
“Don’t torture him, he doesn’t deserve to beg for death. I’ll just send him to hell myself, let him face my dad and all the lives he’s claim there”
“Oh, you don’t want to torture me?”
A cough caught my attention. I turned and see a woman also chained against a pole.
I give Fred a questioning look.
“That is the bitch he’s being fooling around with, he lied to Grayson that the bitch is his mother” Fred explain.
I scoff.
“You not only lied to mom, you also cheated her. For the sake of being my father for 22years, I’ll give a quick death.
Go to hell and face all the souls waiting to revenge you there”
Then I couldn’t control my fingers, I hear gunshots non-stop until it was suddenly silent.
I pulled the trigger but it didn’t fire. Fred held my hand.
“Bae, you’re out of bullets” he looks at Samuel. “And I must say you did quite a number on him”
I follow his gaze, and I gag at what I saw.
Samuel’s stomach burst, everything inside poured on the floor, his face smashed.
I take my hands to my mouth trying to stop any sound from coming out.
“D-did I do that?” I asked.
Fred nod with a… Proud smile?.
“I couldn’t have done any better!”
My eyes move to the woman, she is staring at me with scared eyes.
“What should we do with her?” Fred asked.
I don’t really know this woman, but she hurt my mom too, she snatch Samuel.
“Send her to Samuel in hell” I said.
Fred nod, then…..
*Boom*
One of his boys shot her.
Fred take my hands.
“Now, let’s go watch Samuel’s blood off your hands”
I nod.

As we step into the living room, Jason grab me in a tight hug but quickly lets me go when Fred cleared his throat.
“Thank God you are awake, Eva” he said.
I smile, then I see Carissa standing behind him. I frown and arch my eyebrows at him.
“Oh, since Selene is dead and she has no where to go, I decided to adopt her”
“Adopt her? But you are not married yet, can you take care of her?”
“Yeah, I can take care of her”
Just then Bianca comes in from the kitchen.
“Eva, you just got out of coma, you must be tired. Go and get some rest” she said.
I nod and head upstairs, a footstep behind me, I smile, I know it’s Fred.

6 months later,,,,,,
Today is a big day for Bianca, Jared is gonna propose. We’ve been preparing it for some time now, but Bianca doesn’t know about it.
He wants it to be a surprise.
Fred and I sit at the dinning table, i, stuffing banana on my face. While Fred tries to stop me from eating more but he’s obviously failing at it.
Each time he tries to stop me, I’ll pass him a glare and he’ll withdraw.
“Why are the lights in the living room turn off?” We hear Bianca ask herself.
She step down from the stairs and turn on the lights and there Jared is in front of her.
One knee on the floor and a flower in his hands.
Royale giggle but Fred quickly slaps his hand on Roy’s mouth.
“Jared…. why are you kneeling?”
“Sunshine… I don’t have much to say. I know I should say some cheesy lines at a time like this, in fact I did plan to say some cheesy words.
But seeing you in front of me, all the words vanish from my mind”
“Jared…”
“I just want you to know that all these months we’ve been together, you have made me a very happy man.
You made me see things from a different view, I know I have always want to be with. I love you and only you…. ok, I don’t know what to say”
He paused and Bianca laugh at his lost if words.
“Marry me, Bianca. Give me the opportunity to make you mine completely”..
“Jared, what….”
“Please, Bianca, say yes… marry me, I love you and I want to spend my life with you. I want my world to revolves around you and you alone”
I hear Bianca sniffle, I frown.
Is she crying? I thought she’d be happy… cause honestly I’d be happy if someone propose to me this way.
But she surprises me when she nods rapidly.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Jared, I’ll marry you”
“R-really?!” He asked as if to confirm.
“Yes, jared”
He quickly slip the ring in her finger and stand up, he grabs her face and crash his lips on hers.
I quickly cover Roy’s eyes.
Fred, start clapping and interrupted their moment. I send him a harsh glare and he looks at me innocently.
“What?!” He asked.
“You are a Killjoy!” I told him.
I got up slowly and walk towards them. I’ve been quite heavy lately and I do feel lazy a lot.
Fred puts his arm around my waist and support me.
“Congratulations, Bianca!” I told her.
“Thank you!” She replies and hug me.
But we burst into laughter when my stomach pushes her back a little.
“Ok, these guys really should come out soon and witness my wedding” she said.
“Jared, congrats! You finally proposed to your mama!” Fred said.
I elbowed his rib and he grunts.
“What? I was just joking!”
“It’s not funny!” I told him.
“But I….”
I tune him off when an unbearable pain hits my abdomen, I squeezed Fred’s hand and he yells out in pain.
“Bae, you’re hurting me”
I didn’t let go of his hand and I couldn’t talk either, I was just gasping for air.
Bianca seems to notice so she rushes to me.
“Eva, what is wrong?”
“S-stomach… hurts” I said.
Fred huffed.
“See, I warned you not to eat too much banana” he said.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!” I scream.
I can’t see any more, I started feeling dizzy.
“Oh my God! She’s in labour!” I hear Bianca exclaims.
“Labour?” Jared’s voice came.
“W-what should we do now?” Fred asked.
“Take her to the hospital, of course”
“Hospital… yeah hospital”
“Then what are you doing here, go get the car running, Jared”
“On it!”
“Fred, help me bring her to the car”
“Ok!”
Fred tries to carry me in his arms but I couldn’t close my legs, which makes me scream louder.
I smack his head angrily.
“Don’t carry me!” I yelled at him.
“Ok!” He put his arm around my waist and help me out slowly.
I feel like I should just pass out, but Bianca keeps encouraging me, telling me to hold on.
Finally we made it to the car.

At the hospital….. labour room…
Fred ?
“Sir, you’ll have to come in with her” a nurse inform me.
I wanted to refuse, I can’t bear the sight but Eva had me in a death grip. Her hand cling on me tightly.
“Ok!”
.
.
.
2hours later….
“Push!!” The doctor said.
Eva close her eyes and push, squeezing my hand. I wince loudly, she’s being squeezing this particular hand right from the house.
I can tell my bones are broken, I suddenly have great level of respect to my victims. I can’t imagine the pain they go through when I break their fingers.
“I-can’t-do-this-I-can’t-do-this-I’m-gonna-die” I hear Eva say.
“No baby, you are not gonna die, you are doing a great job look…”
“Shut up!! This is all your fault, you caused this!!” She yelled at me.
“Eva calm down, this is the last baby, give it all your might ok, you are gonna get through this” the doctor tells her
I nod and squat to her level on the bed.
“Did you hear, we’ll go through this together, this is the last one ok?”
Her hand lands on my cheek, I swear I felt my whole teeth gum shift
“I said shut up!” She cried.
I nod and decide to stay silent.
“Eva are you ready?” The doctor asked.
She nods as I mop her forehead with my handkerchief.
“Ok, on the count of three push with me ok!”
She nods.
“One!”
“Two!”
“Three!”
“Push!!”
She squeezes my hand tighter than before as she screams.
“I hate you, freeeeeeeeeeeed”
And then it’s the babies cries that filled our ears.
Eva release her grip on me, her body slumps onto the bed as she takes in deep breaths.
“Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Russell, you’ve got three boys!” The doctor said.
I don’t know how to describe emotions, but I’m so damn happy.
I lean down and capture Eva’s lips, I give her a sweet short kiss. And smile at her.
“Thank you so much, bae, thank you for giving me three lovely boys!”
“I’m…. I’m tired, I wan…. na sle… ep” her eyes closed without another word.
My heart stopped.
I shake her.
“Eva! Eva! Eva, wake up” bit she didn’t.
*
*

Eva is all cleaned up and moved to a different ward, she sits on the bed looking at us with a wide smile.
I blow her a kiss and she blushed.
I carry one of our triplets, Bianca carried one and Jared carried the other one. Roy sits next to Bianca just staring at the baby’s face, I can guess what’s on his mind right now.
He is imagining himself being this small.
“Mom, why is the baby so small?”
Ok, I was almost right.
“Because he was born today?”
“Oh, by tomorrow will he be as big as me? Can I play with him tomorrow?”
Bianca, Jared and Eva laugh and Roy look at them in confusion.
“No, you still have to wait for two more years” bianca tells him.
“Oh, what’s his name then?”
“Hmm, why don’t we ask his daddy”
Bianca and Roy turn to me, waiting for my answer.
Then it dawned on me that Eva and I haven’t talked about names yet.
“Roy, the one with your Mom is Bruce, the one with Jared is Brandon and the one with your uncle is Brett!” Eva bailed me out.
I smile and give her a thumbs up but she just huffed and look away.
“Wow! Such beautiful names” Bianca said.
“Don’t worry Sunshine, our kids names will be spe-cial” Jared said.
I scoff.
“Mama, your big son has spoken” I said.
“Said what now?” Eva asked giving me a challenging glare.
I shake my head.
“Nothing!” I said.
“I love how you have him wrap around your fingers” Jared said.
Eva gestures for them to come closer. She whispers something in their ears and they burst out laughing, Roy brings out his tongue at me and their laughter increased.
I just look at them and shake my head.
I wouldn’t believe if someone is to tell me that I will settle for one girl, I’d fight with anyone who’d suggest I get married.
But here I am, married and deeply in love.
This is my family and I will make sure I protect them with all I’ve got.
The
End….
