Evelyn wasn’t satisfied. She hissed and out of frustration, she threw the glass of wine she was holding across the dinning table, it hit the wall and broke, it broke into pieces Evelyn cried, the broken glass was a representation of how Allen keeps breaking her heart.
She succeeded in breaking the two apart but she wasn’t satisfied, she didn’t want them together, together as in, working in the same office. She was furious and bitter.
She wanted Anna out of the picture completely, she wanted her out of Allen’s life. She ponders on what to do, Evelyn remembered that when she was dating Allen, she had met his mother once, and knowing how much power Mrs. McArthur has, and how much Allen respect his mother, he would do anything she wants while she would make sure his mother talk Allen into coming back to her.
Evelyn rushed up the steps to her room, about an hour and half later, she was ready, she wore a long sleeve turtleneck black dress and heels, her burgundy with, straight and well brushed. She sets off to go see her ”mother in law.”
Evelyn arrived at Mrs. McArthur’s house which was in the same city where they all lived in but only yours apart, she pressed the door bell and waited for one of the servants to open the door.
Stepping inside the enormous luxury house, she asked, “Where’s Allen’s mother?”
“Follow me.” The servant girl said and Evelyn trotted behind her, as soon as she saw Mrs. McArthur, she bursts into tear.
“My dear, Eve.” The older woman said, hugging and petting her, “it’s okay.”
By the time Evelyn was through with crying, “Allen has been throwing me out of his office every time I go to see him to the point that he ordered his security not to let me in.”
“What arrant nonsense!” Mrs. McArthur said, she was annoyed, “why would he do that?”
“Since he got a new personal assistant.”
“So my son has stooped so low to be moving around with his personal assistant? How dare Allen!”
“What have you done about it?” His Mother asked.
“I have tried to talk to Allen, I have tried my best but he wouldn’t budge.” Evelyn started to cry.
“Don’t cry, tell me the girl name?” She asked.
“Anna… I think her last name is woods.. she used to be a sex worker.” Evelyn sniffles, blowing her nose out with the tissue papers on the table.
Mrs. McArthur was quiet for a while, she drummed her fingers on the armchair, quirking her mouth, strategizing, nodding to her own thoughts.
“A prostitute? My son has disgraced the McArthur name.”
“And we ought to act fast before it gets worse.”
“I’ll send for Allen as soon as possible. I need to put an end before our name is dragged in the mud.” Mrs. McArthur said, slapping her hand on the chair.
“I’ll do anything you ask of me.” Evelyn said, assuring the older woman.
“Oh! Evelyn darling, I know you will, but I want you to stop crying like a child and be happy, now that I’m involve, Allen is yours.” The older woman smiled at her, rubbing her hand as an act of assurance.
“I will be happy. I’m glad I came to you.” Evelyn smiled and rested her head on the older woman shoulder.
“It is a good thing you came to me, not only are you saving your relationship, you’re saving the McArthur name, I’ll do anything and everything to get rid of, what did you say her name was again…?” Mrs. McArthur squeezed her face in annoyance.
“Anna woods.. she has a black bobbed hair, and she’s twenty six, she used to be an athlete, a basketeer.”
“She plays basketball?” Mrs. McArthur was taken aback, she shake her head and hissed.
“Yes, and you know how much Allen loves basketball.” Evelyn whined.
“Quit whining! You have involved me and it’s my duty to help you because you want to remove the McArthur name from dirt.”
“Yes.” Evelyn said, looking away, feigning her action, she started acting like someone that forgot a bit of an information.
“What is it Eve?” Allen’s mother asked.
“I’m sorry.”
“For?”
“I think I left out the important part.”
“That is?”
“They’ve been having sex and this Anna girl is pregnant with McArthur’s child.”
“That’s impossible!” She cried, holding her chest as she breathed rashly.
“Now you’d understand my fear, how would Allen be mine when another woman is having his child.”
Mrs. McArthur was raging, she was tangling in a whirlpool of thoughts, “how could Allen do this to her?”
“Mother, are you okay?” Evelyn asked in a soft voice.
“Yes, I am.” She nodded. “We have to take down this Anna girl, I don’t care if she’s pregnant, I don’t want a bastard or a prostitute child.”
“What if she’s blackmailing Allen or she has started blackmailing him and that’s another reason he’s with her.”
“You’re right and that’s why I am going to help my soon. To be a McArthur you have to be someone reputable and not a good digger.” Mrs. McArthur deride, she smirked sinisterly and feeling full of pride, she told Evelyn not to worry that she will have every under control soon.
Evelyn left Mrs. McArthur’s house feeling accomplished, it was so easy to fool the old woman, too easy that she accepted to help her, Evelyn though and laughed, she was so happy, now there’s less work for her to do since Allen’s mother had offered to do the greater part and assured her that she would marry Allen.
Evelyn smiled to her and said, “Cheers to good news.” She decided that to celebrate the victory that would soon be hers she needed to have sex, get high and have sex.
She dialed Aiden number’s and asked if he was home, unfortunately he was at work, he told her he would be back in two hours time but to Evelyn, two hours felt like eternity, she told him he should let her know when he gets back from work.
Evelyn couldn’t wait, she didn’t want to call Stoner, it’s been three months since she last saw him and that was after she stylishly ended things with him.
“He fucks good too.” She pouts her face and dialed his number.
“Miss me, stoner?” Evelyn cooed on the phone.
“Evelyn.” Stoner slurred, “what are you up to?”
“You home? Let me bring the coochie…”
Stoner cuts in, “the others aren’t there for you huh, is that why you’re calling me.”
“Stop it Stony baby. I know I left but I’m coming back.”
“Sorry, I moved on.. I don’t do no old hoes.” Stoner hung up, Evelyn hit the wheel.
“Dang it!”
She couldn’t wait for Aiden, she texted Michael, her ex when she was dating Allen, fortunately for her, Michael was available, she put the car to start and drives off to his apartment with the mindset that she had leave before Aiden get back from the office.
