Chapter 85“Who is Eve?” The question kept ringing violently in his ear, and he searched his mind for a suitable answer to give, guarding his mind and aura, so she doesn't read it.Now that her powers were slowly coming back, he would have to do that a lot until the Evelyn saga was done.“Uhm, she's an old friend” Ares answered, the food suddenly too hard for him to swallow.He felt like puking just from the thoughts of him lying to her effortlessly like that.He needed to do better, he cautioned himself silently.“Oh, okay,” Sara answered without further questions.“Why did you ask?” He asked curiously.“I overheard you say her name,” she said simply.That did not answer his question or clear his suspicions.“And she is pregnant?” Sara asked.“Yes, you overheard that too?" He asked. “Yeah, I heard Eve and baby, that's all.” She said as she munched on a piece of great hungrily.“You have seen uneasy,” Sara observed, she could make out his features and, for some reason even beyond th

Chapter 86“No” Vera answered, looking away instantly.Catherine had a habit of reading her Like an open book and feared that if she glanced at her, even once, she would find out the truth.“No!” Catherine asked to be certain she heard right.“No, mother” Vera answered again, scooping more soup into her mouth.Praying that Catherine let the subject die, but her prayers were not going to be answered so easily.“Oh, so you guys just meet once in a while to satisfy sexual desires?” Catherine pried further.“Mother” Vera whined looking up at her with caution.“That is the only other logical reason I can think of,” Catherine said, shrugging non blatantly“Well don't even think about it then,” said, focusing on her food once again.“You know, I think he likes you a lot,” Catherine quipped, glancing at Vera from the side of her eye “That's rich coming from you,” Vera said, looking at Catherine in shock.“And he seems decent, too.” Catherine continued regardless.“You hated him, mother, what

Chapter 87Eve hummed lowly as she steamed her dress, she had managed to get the girls' attention with the little bait she dangled before them, and they had all agreed to hang out today.Carmen had even postponed her precious shoot for some other day just to be there.She felt a little bad about this deceit, but she also knew she had to do it, there was no escaping it for sure.Working the steamer down the length of the dress, she admired the soft material of it with delicate fingers.Having decided against using the fake silicone bump, she had reasoned it would be better for her to show up like that, and tell them she was just three months gone.Technically is too early for a hump to be visible yet, takes off to Bali or the Maldives and hides away until she sorted her business and debts.They would fall for it, she was very sure of that, all she had to do was put up a very fake smile and maybe a few drops of tears when necessary.Eve glanced at the antique clock on the wall, she had

Ivan had settled with the idea of telling Vera about his true identity, he was also grateful that he had spoken to Hermes about the issue.Avoiding Artemis was not as easy as he had anticipated,she had sat right beside him at the press meeting two hours ago.And he was confident to admit that that was the most nerve wracking,gut-wrenching one hour of his life.She kept nudging his feet, and gliding her toes in the length of his calf, scratching his thighs we her velvet red stiletto shaped nails.And when he had shifted away from her, she had drawn her chair right back, very close to him.He had kept his cool, knowing her act was just for a while,he would clear the air with Vera, and she will have absolutely nothing to blackmail him for.Ivan glanced at the time, it was well past noon and Hermes was still not back.They had concluded to tell Vera in a beautiful way, so he had planned and little dinner evening at his place.Hermes was out to get the decorations and every necessity while

Sara had freshened up immediately, ready to leave for the pharmacy with Anna Anna had been looking at her a little too long since she made that statement about not wanting to be a mother.As much as she wanted to tell her the truth, she was scared as to what Anna would think of her.The pharmacy was in a supermarket not too far from the house, so Anna had suggested they walk, it was a chance for her to get to see the city a little, she had said.So Sara had agreed immediately to it, she needed to clear her head after all, and now she had an opportunity she was not going to throw it away.They walked hand in hand on the curb, Sara asked questions and Anna answered diligently.“Sara?” Anna called in a concerned tone.“Hmm” she hummed back.“When you said something about not wanting to be a mother, were you serious?” Anna asked.Sara did not answer right away, she contemplated telling Anna the truth. And decided to just trust her anyway.“Yes, I was,” she said simply.She waited for the

Ivan had just settled into his office for the second time in one day, he had waited patiently in the bathroom until Artemis had walked out.He went back to work banishing thoughts of her and her threats, he was going to resolve that each sooner.Speaking of which, he remembered Hermes still was not back, or maybe he was but had not sent word yet.He reached for his phone on the desk, deciding to call him and see what the delay was about.Just as he pressed the dial icon, his office door swung open in speed and Hermes sauntered in.He looked as if he had been chased by a bull, his hair was disheveled like he had run all the way here, and there were little patches of sweat on his shirt.“Did you get in a fight?” Ivan asked instinctively.Hermes was a short-tempered and agile man, who would go into a fistfight at the slightest provocation if he had to.He stood in front of the desk and gasped breathlessly, he sucked in air trying to relax.“Hermes?” Ivan called impatiently.“I found Sara
