"What did you say?" his face had a tender smile that vanished in a moment and went colder.
He clutched the papers tightly in his hands and read the contents. It was a simple divorce contract where parties did not want to stay with each other and wanted divorce. She had not blamed him for cheating or he had not called her for her infidelity.
Yet, he could not accept that she wanted a divorce from him.
"I will not allow it." he threw the papers to the other side and stood up with rage burning in his chest. But when he looked at her red face and her wet eyes, he pinched the space between his brows and left the room.
He did not want to argue with her when she was not in her senses. A day alone, and she would realize she was a fool.
Eve stood there shocked. She had thought that he would accept the letter easily. Since he was the one to bring it in the house. She heard some sounds and followed her to their main room. He was already dressed up and leaving the house.
"I have an important meeting. I do not want to be late for it." He left his house clothes without taking a bath. She knew that he would get ready in the office. There was a suite there for him to rest and relax. Though she had never been there since others did not know about their marriage in the office except his secretary. She did not want to be called a stalker.
He had invited her many times but she had politely refused. She sat on the sofa and closed her eyes. Her head was still dizzy. She could see how the house was a mess and so was her life.
"Eve, are you okay?" Elene sat beside her and smiled sweetly. She brought another cup for Eve and passed it to her. But after drinking the soup recklessly last night, Eve did not take the cup.
She only stared at her lost sister. They have the same face but if looked closely, there was a subtle difference. Elene's hair was a bit brown while her hair was fiery red. Elene's nose was sharper and after staying in the hospital for two years, she looked much thinner.
"I heard you and Cedric fighting. Truly, I do not understand you. Why do you fight with him when he is so kind to you? " The words felt ironic from the mouth of a woman who told her about the divorce papers and slept at night with her husband.
Looking at the scorn on the face of her sister, Elene did not feel bad. She only sighed as if she was dealing with a kid.
"Eve, Cedric and I have been lovers for many years. It was not the first time we have slept together. He must be… reminiscing the old memories. But I have told him that I would not accept his divorce and I will not marry him. I do not want to break your marriage. So, he would not accept it." her voice went down as if she was controlling a sob. "But you have to understand that we have been together for a long time. Our attraction would not end just like that. Can you not be a little adjusting?" by adkjusting, her sister meant that she should let them fuck each other whenever they needed while she play an obieidnet wife in their house.
More than that, Cedric did not accept the divorce papers because Elene had refused to marry him.
"Ha! Would it not be better that you will be his wife and fuck him legally? Why live like a mistress when she could have this whole house. Seriously, I do not want Cedric anymore." she stood up to leave when Elene frowned. Her eyes filled with a strange emotion but it was gone before Eve could notice it.
"Because I do not want to ruin the life of my sister. You will not understand me." She shook her head and picked up her bag to leave. Eve noticed that it was the same bag she had received for her marriage anniversary. Her heart sank again. Not only his body, but his mind also belongs to Elene.
Then why in the world he wanted to keep her captured. She did not want to live this kind of life.
Soon, the maids started to fill the house and found Eve sitting like a statue on the sofa.
They wished her but she did not reply. Soon, they started cleaning.
Eve noticed that Emily was not among them when she came to her senses.
"Where is Emily?" she asked the maid standing closer to her.
"I am not sure but I heard that her mother was sick. She had taken a leave from sir perhaps." Eve shook her head and stood up. She went to her room and took a long relaxing bath. But Elene's words were like a curse, they kept following her.
She changed her clothes and got ready. She visited the hospital first and took a blood test. The report will be out tomorrow. Then she drove to their company. She settled on her seat and started working. Her eyes were on the computer all the time despite the whispers behind her.
"I heard that the boss had a party at his house. Not only that, that rumored girlfriend of his was spotted there. I am so jealous. Do not tell me our boss is finally going to get married." they all laughed and whispered more. Eve closed her eyes. She had come here to get rid of those whispers.
"Eve, have you seen that girl? She looks oddly similar to you." asked a fellow employee when Eve didn ot reply to their comments. Eve finally realized that they were intentionally talking around her. When she turned, every eye was on her and she knew she could not evade the questions anymore.
"She is my sister."
