Evita's pov
"What?! " Rolland and I shouted in unison.
"I said Killian said I can spe-"
"We heard you" Rolland cut her off. I stormed out of the room in search of Killian. You've got to be kidding me. First he brought her here, now he wants her to spend the night. I kept on mumbling to my self as I matched towards Killian's office, where he usually is by this time. To no surprise, he was there, behind his desk, when I opened the door.
"Are you for real?" I said crossing my arms on my chest. He looked confused for a while but later figured out what I was talking about.
"Calm down miss valkov I can explain-"
"I don't want any explanation. She leaves or I do." I cut him off. I can't spend a night here if she stays here.
"Please miss valkov. It's already dark outside....it's not safe for either of you to walk around, try to understand" Killian said coming closer to me.
"Please "he pleaded once again.
"Fine but she was stay at the guest room downstairs. ..and the kids will stay with me" I stated glaring at him.
"Yes. They will"
"And also tell her not to roam about so much. It's very suspicious" I said demonstrating with my fingers.
"Was she in your room again?" Killian asked
"No I was in the arts room with Rolland" I said.
"Rolland took you to his art room?"
"Yeah. Why do you look so shocked?" I asked him.
"Nothing. Do you need anything else?" He said going back to his seat.
"Why are you upset?" I asked.
"I'm not Evita. I just have work to do. If you've said all you have to say, please give me some privacy. " He said without looking at me. What did I say wrong? I nodded and made for the door
"And please tell Rolland to come see me" Killian said from behind me before I closed the door. I don't know if it's me but it sounded like he ever so slightly emphasized on "Rolland" . Was he jealous? No this is worse than jealousy.
I let my legs wander and they took me to Killian's room. The kids were still sound asleep. I wonder what they are dreaming about.

"No I was in the arts room with Rolland" Evita said. What?
"Rolland took you to his art room?" I asked. He never takes anyone to his art room....except he likes her.
"Yeah. Why do you look so shocked?" Evita asked clueless
"Nothing. Do you need anything else?" I turned around and sat back down behind my desk. I really hope it's not what I'm thinking.
"Why are you upset?" Evita asked me.
"I'm not Evita. I just have work to do. If you've said all you have to say, please give me some privacy. " I stated, looking down at some random documents. All that was in my head was the thought of Rolland falling for Evita. That can't happen. I noticed Evita opening the door and I said
"And please tell Rolland to come see me" she nodded and left. Rolland has some questions to answer.
Few minutes later Rolland came into my office.
"Why are you letting Joan stay overnight?" He said immediately he shut the door.
"Why were you in the art room with Evita?" I said walking towards him.
"That is not what we are talking about" he said.
"It is. I want to know why you took her to the arts room. We both know what you do when you take a girl to the arts room." I said.
"Are you saying you think im falling for Evita?"
"Yes" I affirmed.
"Well I'm not. I took her there for another reason entirely"
"Which was?" I asked him. I still don't believe him. He has only taken one person to the arts room ....but she broke his heart. So he swore the next person he takes to the heart room is the person he'll get married to.
"It's personal" he yelled.
"Why are you raising your voice? I just asked you a question" I yelled back at him. Rolland didn't respond. He just walked over to the sofa and sat down. I sighed and sat down beside him.
"You swear you don't like her in that way" I said quietly.
"Yes I don't" he half yelled.
"Okay" I said relaxing.
"So why did you agree for Joan to spend the night?" Rolland asked.
"Because it's too late to let her go home herself" I answered.
"Why didn't you just let one of the drivers take her to her house"
"Uhhh I didn't think of that." I shrugged.
"Of course" he said and we both chuckled.

Evita's pov
"Vy" a cute tiny voice called me from afar. I was in a glass house, lying on the soft bed in the middle. I stood up to look for where the voice was coming from. When suddenly, the floors started shaking violently. The voice grew louder as the house shaked faster.
"Vy! Vy!! Vy!!!"
My eyes shot wide open and I sat up with a gasp. It was Lilly. She was the one calling and shaking me. She stood tall on the bed, smiling with excitement. When she noticed I was awake, she plopped down on a kneeling position.
"You are awake, how was your night?" I asked. The twins were not in my room anymore so I assume they are with either Rolland or Killian.
"It was fine and really really really long" she said stretching. I chuckled at her statement. The room was still dim, the lights off and the curtains down. Although few ray of sun light escaped into the room.
"I see, where is Jayden and kayden?" I asked her.
"They went to have their bath so I came to bath and get ready here. Our teacher will soon be here." She answered pointing at he clothes which she laid by the other end of the bed. And since their lesson starts by 10 . It means it's almost 10am.
"Okay let's get you ready. Go have your bath while I pick out my outfit for the day. And also iron yours. " I said and she left for the bathroom immediately.
Slowly but surely, I got out of bed and picked out a blue jean trouser and a white and black oversized round neck. It had few creases here and there so I had to iron it too. Less than 10 minutes later, Lilly came out with a towel wrapped around her waist. I dried her hair and brushed it before I let her dress up. She doesn't let me dress her anymore....she claims she's too old for that. I got into the bathroom and took a super quick shower. I didn't even wash my hair since I washed it yesterday. Lilly was already gone before I got back out. I dressed up and l let my hair fall. It's been a while I did. Once I was done, I went down stairs for breakfast. On getting to the dinning I saw the face I didn't know existed until yesterday. I had totally forgotten she came. My happy mood took a 180 into a sad one.
"Good morning Evita" she smiled too bright that it looked fake. My eyes and random part of my face kept twitching as I looked at her in anger. I rolled my eyes at her and took a seat next Lilly who was impatiently waiting for the cook to serve her food. Once I was settled, Lilly leaned in and whispered to me.
"Who is that?" She pointed at Joan.
"She kept saying she's Jay and Kay's mom. But I told her that you are our mom" she added.
"That is Joan, Killian's friend, she came yesterday but will soon be leaving" I whispered everything but the last part.
"And I'm not Jayden and Kayden's Mommy, stop telling them that" I whispered again. She giggled and mumbled something like "yeah not yet". I chuckled. In a few minutes Rolland and killian came to the table, alongside the twins. Killian sat at the edge of the table, rolland by his right, followed by Jayden and kayden. I was by killian's left followed by lilly then Joan. This is the first time we are all sitting at the dining together. It wasnt what i had expected our first breakfast together to be like. Joan is the cause of all this. The kids munched on their waffles as quickly as possible...But the grownups ate very slow.
"Uh killian don't you think you are a bit late for work?" I asked to break the silence.
"Yes, i better get going" he said and stood. He kissed the kids goodbye before leaving.
"Do you know what is wrong with him?" I asked rolland. He just shrugged in response. I realised there was tension between rolland and Joan as we ate. That was when i knew something happened while I was in my room. And they are hiding it from me.
Once Joan left the house, i decided to confront rolland about it.
"So?" I said raising a brow. We were now by the stairs and the kids in their room with the teacher.
"So what? " rolland said walking straight ahead.
"Oh come on, we both know something is up. You've been avoiding eye contact all morn ing." I said following him.
"I dont know what you are talking about" he said walking wherever his feet takes him. And i followed him without thinking twice.
"Oh please. Stop the pretence and tell me already" I whined.
"I'm serious nothing happened." He stopped walking.
"I know some thing did" i urged on.
"Don't you have something better to do? " he said and continued walking.
"No i have a week off " I beamed.

Killian's pov
"Killian" a familiar voice woke me from my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes to see Joan in front of me. Her hair scattered and sheets warped around her chest. My heart leaped in my chest at the sight.
"What are you doing in room" I whispered.
"No you are in my room, you came to me yesterday...don't You remember?" She said. I looked around and she was right. I was in her room.
"How di- when did i-" I couldnt even form a sentence.
"Don't you remember what happened last night? You came to me and apologize Again and then we- you know" she said. Her eyes trailed down to the lower part of my body and I knew what she meant. I quickly stood up from the bed and moved sway from her. I can't seem to remember anything from last night. My vision was hazy and blury and I struggled to stand up right. I quickly rushed out of her room before anyone finds me there. As I shut the door, i made eye contact with rolland who was coming down the stairs. Shit shit shit shit shit.
"Killian what are you doing? Did you just come out of joan's room looking like that?" He said out loud. I looked down and I noticed i was just in briefs. Oh shit.
I rushed towards him and dragged him up the stairs and into my room without answering his questions. Once i shut the door behind us, i released the breath I di dnt even realize I was holding. My heart was still beating like crazy in my chest. I sat at the edge of the bed.
"Dude, why were you in joan's room" rolland asked Again.
"I dont know how i got there man. I woke up this morning and found her in the bed with me. She told me i went to her last night and that we-we had sex " I said as i tried to calm myself down.
"What?! Thats fuxked up " rolland yelled.
"I know! I know man!"I yelled back.
"And i can't remember any thing. ..it's all blurred out " I said.
"Shit. Go get dressed. I'll take Joan to your office. You come meet us there." Rolland said and left.
I washed my face and put on the first pant I saw. I dashed to my office rolland and Joan were already sitted there.
"She drugged you" rolland blurted out.
"What?"
"No i Didnt " Joan yelled.
"Don't raise your voice" I pointed at her.
"She did killian, i found the pills in her drawer" rolland yelled too.
"I said don't raise your voice."
"I promise I didn't...those pills are my sleeping pills. I didn't drug you. You came down to me by your self i swear". Joan said standing up.
"I can't remember sleeping with you, but if by chance I did, then I'm sorry. And you must not mention it to anyone. Especially miss valkov. Do you understand? " I said looking at Joan and rolland who is seated.
"Yes, i promise i won't." She replied but rolland didnt say anything.
"Okay, please excuse us Joan " I said. She nodded and left.
"Why do you think she drugged me?"
"I saw those pills in her drawer, she must have put them in your food or water." Rolland said.
"You are right...I'll go for a blood test before leaving for work" I said to him
"Okay. But you know you have to tell evita right?" He asked.
"Of course" i answered. I will tell her, not just now, but soon enough.

The knock on my door snapped me back to life.
"Yes come in" I said. All I've been doing since I got to work was remember everything that happened this morning.
"Sir a special delivery from the hospital." My secretary said. I nodded and collected it from her. Once she left, i opened it up. It was the result of the blood test I did. I wasn't drugged as rolland had suspected. Then why Am I unable to remember anything? I shut my eyes as i tried to recollect all that happened. I was on my bed asleep and then i....then I...I... I can't remember. I groaned as i rubbed my forehead. "This is fucking ridiculous" I whispered. Apart from not remembering..let's assume I did have sex with her, how will I tell evita? She was already upset that I brought Joan home and asked her to spend the night. She might even think that was the intention I had when i asked her to sleep overnight. What do I do? I closed my eyes again and joan's face popped up in my head. Is this all part of your plan? To come into my life and ruin it? Well I won't let you.
In the main time, we should take necessary precautions. I dialed Joan lawyer, seeing as i don't have joan's contact.
"Yes mr lockewood"
"I need you to deliver a message to Joan for me. Tell her not to for get the M.A.P" I said. It is short for morning after pill. It was what we called it, i hope she still remembers because i don't want the situation to worsen by her getting pregnant.
"The M.A.P right?" Mr whites asked.
"Yes"
"Okay I'll let her know " he said and hung up.
