Chapter 55
Eve’s POV
The next day, Mr Maya woke up as early as possible.. well, it’s the normal time he usually wakes up before i started drugging him.
Then he went to work; he still doesn’t seemed excited though.. why do I even give a fvck.. I feel safe that he didn’t make any move on me since he returned yesterday, Mark doesn’t want us to give him apps.. and little did Mr Maya know what’s about to befall him yet I feel bad for whoever is gonna get affected too.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Andrew came over and drove me down to work that morning, looks like he’s my driver only in the morning because I barely even call him later during the day.. because Liam’s always there.
Liam and I got to the office at the same time as if we planned it; and not everyone glaring at us.. so we couldn’t even exchange romantic pleasenteries… until we to the office.
“How was your night love?”He asked, just after we kissed.
“It was great” I replied him.
“My father..?”
“Uhm yeah he returned yesterday; he didn’t say where he is coming from neither did he really speak to anyone of us” I said..
“Oh that shows he is troubled or he met with Mrs Pitts”
“He didn’t even call me to his room last night” I added.
“Maybe he is taking his time” Liam said.
“Here, I made sure I got it yesterday ” Liam said as he unzipped his briefcase and brought out a file.
“You got the divorce form!” I exclaimed.
“Yeah, I went to see the lawyer immediately I left your place yesterday and gave him the marriage contract and he said one incredible thing.”
“What’s that?” I asked.
“Uhm, it’s actually fake”
“Fake? Fake what?”
“Fake marriage contract”
“Whaooo!… But I saw the stamps, names and signatures”
“It’s an ordinary printed out paper”
“Oh wow, this sounds like a good news right? Oh My God, I feel so free” I jumped up.
” am as excited as you are Eve… You are not married.. you are single” Liam stated and I smiled.
“Why did he yet give you this divorce file” I asked him.
“Oh that.. he said since an ordinary paper binded you two together, then a proper legal divorce form should splitt the two of you even if it’s not necessary” Liam said.
Oh! I nodded… My joy was in no bundle though.
“I would sign it and give it to him to sign when I get home” I said then took a deep breathe. “I need to summon up the courage ‘cos he’ll never see it coming.. ”
“I know we can do this”He said and I nodded.. I CAN DO THIS.
” Or I will come with you”
“No Liam; it might turn to a complicated troubles with your father” I said.
He sighed and said; “Okay, if you don’t want me too” Then picked up his brief case and went to his office.
Nothing new happened today.. I did my work then went to his place, spent more time with him as usual but this time around, we were discussing about his father and the matter on air. Janet also called me while I was still with him, I told her about the divorce form I’ve gotten. We were so glad that Mr Maya and I will seperate.. we didn’t even think of how I’m gonna do it.
During Recess period, these three musketeers colleges were trying to force words out of my mouth about my relationship with Liam. They told me theirs though but mine is still un~tell~able to people like them.

I got home; I was surprised to find Mr Maya already at home, in the living room… no sluts, just him.. I greeted him perfunctorily and ran quickily into Helen’s room. I met her on the way.
“I have the divorce papers..” I told her.
“And.. and..” I pulled her to her room.. so we could talk better.
“Is Mark at home?” I asked her.
“No” She shook her head.
I explained how Liam told me that the marriage contract is fake and I’m not legally married to him. Only living under his roof, working his company and he indirectly wants to take advantage of me due to his stupid s*xual urges.
“Okay you need to be strong and go meet him” Helen persuaded me.
“Somehow I’m afraid” I told her.
“Afraid of what Eve?! Liam has your back… Even if Mr Maya sends you out or withdraw his financial material things from you, you have Liam by your side. You need to do this before it’s too late” Helen urged me and I smiled a bit.
“I’ld come with you” She said.. held my hand walked me down the stairs.
Then she stayed behind and watched me go meet the old man.
“Mr Maya” I called out his name.
I was still sitting on the couch.. peering at his phone.
“Eve” He said, raising his head up to look at me yet it looked like he was avoiding to glance at my body.
“Mr Maya.. I.. you didn’t fullfill your promise at all” I started from there.
“What promise are you talking about?” He asked.
“When you brought me here” I resumed..
“Oh Eve.. I have alot of things going on in my mind, I.. I’ve helped you and even offered you a job to help yourself. The Job and salary you earn money from was the complete promise. Do you get it now?” He said then gare back at his phone.
“Oh” I mouthed..
“Mr Maya… Thank you for everything” I said, as I moved closer to him and showed him the divorce letter.
“What’s this?” He said, adjusting his eye glasses, so he could see it well properly.
“A divorce letter?” He exclaimed.
“Exactly. Yes it is”
“Eve”
“I… I can’t do this anymore, I regret ever agree to marry you. Gosh! You are old for me.. what was I thinking of? Money, Yes your wealth! Yet I didn’t even get it from you. You abandoned my father in the hospital immediately I signed the marriage papers! You changed towards immediately I signed the papers.. You..” I rushed all my words, made sure my facial expression was stern, sad and serious.
“You want a divorce? Eve, you cannot.. I didn’t even mean to change at all, I was busy…”
“Well, I’m done being your s*x toy” I said.
“Eve, if it’s because I couldn’t grant all that I’ve promised you; I’m ready to do that now. Are you not aware of how heartbroken your Dad will be when he finds out that you are filing a divorce”
“Thank you, Dad has recovered. Mr Maya…”
“And I never used you as my s*x toy” He interrupted me.
“Oh as your wife. Maybe I should put it that way” I said.
“Eve” He stood up and moved away from me.
“What? Have it. I want a divorce; I need to move on with my life. I am so fed up” I said.. Okay I knew he would send me out of his apartment.
“I came to your room yesterday to announce to you that I was back and I overheard Mark talk about sleeping pills” Mr Maya said.
“What … huh” I didn’t know what to say, so I turned to look at Helen who was still standing at the stair case, she knew I needed help, so she came over to back me up.
“Yes, we gave you sleeping pills, so you will never have your way” Helen said.
“So that’s why I usually doze off for hours?” He said..
“Uhnunn” Helen said.
He faced me and said.. “Then we never had s*x afterall”
“And reverse would have been the case, hadn’t been I didn’t do it. Don’t try to justify yourself Mr Maya”
“I know right. Eve I’m sorry”
“He said…”
“But I tried… I never wanted to have s*x with you, but I couldn’t control it ” He said.
“You never wanted to have s*x with me? really? Why? Aren’t you my so called husband afterall” I said.
“The reason I married you is because… Is because… I wanted to help you” He said.
I scoffed.. he didn’t know I already knew why.. I understood the reasons, but he still wanted to justify himself..
“Why? How? Help me how? I asked him.
“I’m sorry Eve… I can’t sign those papers.. but you would forever be my wife and stay away from me.. I swear i won’t bother touching you. Afterall there are so many sluts out there.” He said.
“And why does it look like your guilty conscience is eating you up? Have you forgotten your secret with me?” Helen confronted me and made me stand at her back. “Not just her knows but soon the sons and the wide world will”
“Why is everyone threatening me for crying out loud!” He screamed, he seemed so frustrated as his eyes turned teary.
He could have probably bought our respect but he already stoop so low.
“Helen. I have also done everything to prove to you that it would never happen again. Please.. I can make it up to you two and Eve, I also don’t wanna touch you anymore that’s why I bring other women into my house. But it ain’t easy. I can sign those papers but you would remain my wife only with the ‘Wife’ title attached.. no s*xual strings attached or anything.. just stay away from me.. I would pay you back with whatever you want in return. Please ..” He nearly broke down.
“Really? You’ld get a satisfying life out there whereas, she would be stucked here with in your home.. she doesn’t even love you” Helen spoke.
“We don’t love each other. Please do this for me.. no divorce. Helen, you too please” He pleaded
The door flung and Liam walked in..
“Dad, it wasn’t a registered legal marriage anyways” Liam said.
