Married To An Old Billionaire, In Love With His Son

He drove him home and pulled his brake when we were already close to the mansion gate. So I didn’t have to call Andrew.

“You are really not upset with me?” He asked me again just as I was about to get off his car. I shook my head and forced a smile.

“Alright, bye dear” He said and I watched him drive away before entering the gate.

Robert sighted me before I could even click on the gate bell.

“What happened to Andrew?” He asked as he let me in.

“I didn’t call him because.. a colleague drop me off..” I lied to Robert. ” But I would let him know” I said.

“What happened to you?” He asked, looking at my face.

“Not… thing” I replied already walking into the house.

I didn’t bother saying Hi to Helen whom I knew that she was in the kitchen.. as usual.

I ran upstairs till I got to my room.

Immediately I entered, I rushed to the mirror to look at my lips.. suddenly the whole scene recapped into my head that I didn’t know when I let out a very loud scream.

Mark and Helen ran inside my room.

“I didn’t know that you were at home Mark” I forced a smile as if all is well.

“And I didn’t know when you came inside the house” Helen retorted.

“Why did you scream like that?” Mark asked me.

“I… I don’t know” I said laughing weirdly and they were gazing at me as if I was not alright.

“Dr. Mark, don’t you think Eve needs a medical check-up?” Helen told Mark and I shot her a hard look.

“I am fine Mark; just saw random flashbacks” I said.

“Hmmmn it better be.  How is Liam doing?” Mark asked me.

“Liam?” I said… and I could see Liam’s face, his smile.. him walking towards me.

“Yes Liam” Mark said, waving at my face to get my attention.

“Liam is fine” I said and laughed hysterically again..”Hahaha”

Mark gave me a funny suspicious look then he left my room.

“You are not normal Eve” Helen said.

“I know right” I said as if I wanted to cry.. and she gave me a stern look too and exit.

“I’m not normal at all” I shouted and threw myself on the floor.

My heart was still beating very fast, the whole scene of him kissing me kept appearing that I even saw myself smiling and pouting out my lips for him to kiss.

I suddenly remember the time he pulled off his clothes and dive into the swimming pool… it suddenly feels like he did it for me to show me his s*xy abs, six-packs blah, blah, blah.

“Oh My God” I exclaimed.. then my phone buzzed.

I reached out for it, only to see Liam on the home screen.

Liam everywhere…

“What have you done to me Liam?” I took a very deep breath and then let them all out before picking up his call.

“Hey” He said.. this voice.. geez! My poor pondering heart!

“Hello” I muttered;

“Eve I know you are still upset about the kiss..”

“I am not upset. I… I just don’t feel good probably because it was unexpected ” I confided… No, I actually feel good; it may heart that is cooking up a whole wrong idea.

“Okay. That’s good to know..” I knew he was about to hang up the call… so I cut in quickly.

“Liam, do you still love Clara?” I asked him. Yeah it seems like he really does.

“No, not at all” He responded.

“Are you saying no only to force yourself that you do not?” I asked again…

“What are you saying?”

“You still like Clara” I blurted.

“I do not” He said.

“Hmmm Okay” I said.

“Why did you ask Eve?” He asked me.

“I… I don’t know. I thought we were now best friends like you proposed; so I just thought you should let me know…” I tried not to stammer.

“Oh Okay… see you in the office tomorrow right?” He said.

“Yeah, Bye”

We disconnected the call. This whole best friends thing is not working out for me… I don’t want to agree with myself that I want more than just a best-friendship. But Liam, on the other hand, seems not to notice it and he keeps lying to himself that he is over Clara obviously he is not.

During Dinner time;

When I, Mark, and Mr. Maya gathered as usual while Helen the cook decided to mind her own business in her room. She already said that she won’t join us in the dining room unless she’s invited…

Mr… Maya dropped his cutlery, drank some water, and ask;

“How is my son?”

I didn’t say anything because he didn’t specify whom he was talking to or which son he was referring to. And ever since Liam left the house, Mark hasn’t been cool with him.

“Which son?” Mark asked him though.

“Liam. I am sure he is forever gonna stay at his place, living a bachelor’s life” Mr. Maya said.

Funny how Liam’s name makes my heart skips a beat.

“Why are you asking after Liam if this is all you have to say?” Mark almost yells.

“And I wasn’t talking to you Mark” Mr. Maya retorted.

“You should have been more specific ” I mumbled..”Liam is fine” I told him.

Mark scoffed; “See you acting as you care,” Mark said to his father… who yawned and murmured ” I do” He picked up his fork to continue eating but he dropped it and yawn again

“Even with your nonchalant attitude, we are still doing fine and I hope you would realize that very soon” Mark continue talking…

Mr. Maya suddenly began to snore…

“What an act! Hahaha,” Mark made fun of him.

I was surprised to see Mr. Maya sleeping; I didn’t even plan anything today because he didn’t make any advances toward me.

He rested his head uncomfortably on the chair and began to sleep.

“Is he really sleeping?” Mark asked me.

I looked at his face; “Yeah”

“What the heck he isn’t even done with his meal? Who sleeps off while eating?” Mark stood up and went to his father.

“I would take him to his room now,” He said.. trying to wake the old man up but he kept snoring…

Mark who wasn’t cool with him earlier… pulled him to the floor and dragged him to his room.

**

“Helen” I hollered her name as I climbed the stairs.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She heard me at once and opened her door… I held her hand and went back into her room.

“What’s the matter?” She asked me.

“Did you drug him? Mr. Maya?” I asked her.

“Of course” She replied.

“Jeez! He slept off while we were having dinner… It was weird..” I rushed my words.

“Then why are you panicking? He deserves it”

“You know he just returned a few minutes ago from wherever he went to, he never even made any attempt to have s*x with me ” I said.

“Ohh… that’s bad because the drug is gonna work for no reason” She giggled.

“Aside, it worked too early. What if Mark finds out? He is an acting medical doctor you know?”

“Don’t worry. He won’t find out. Now stop panicking Eve” She said.

“Listen Mr. Maya deserves whatever that is happening to him and who knows he might be planning to have you in his bed later today which might be too later for you or even me to do anything about it ” She said; patting my shoulder.

She absolutely succeeded in making me feel innocent.
