Be sat on the dining chair, looking like a bride whose groom had run away on their wedding day. She heaved a sigh as she nced at the dinning table once again.


    The dining table was filled with different dishes of all kinds-something she had begun to prepare earlier, so she would meet at the agreed time. But, it seemed like they were the ones to back out of the agreed time first.


    She had invited the guards for a dinner since her brother and his wife weren’t around, but they all ditched her for an operation. Though, none of them could help the situation.


    Having no one else to turn to, she decided to call Lillian. Fortunately, she picked at the third ring.


    “Be! You’re calling sote at night. It’s bedtime here already.” Lillian groused immediately from the other end.


    “Oops, sorry. I just needed someone to talk to. Everything here seems boring since you left.”


    Lillian sighed and there was silence for a while before she spoke again, “Sorry, I just moved away to the corridor, so as not to disturb your brother.”


    “You both made up?” Be’s lip curled into a small smile.


    It wasn’t a bad idea to call her after all.


    “Hmm,” Lillian only hummed, then added, “So, what’s wrong? Who made you sad?”


    “Well, I prepared dinner for everyone, but right now, the food is staring back at me in the face instead.”


    “Why? No one ate it?” Lillian chuckled out, though it was a little low.


    “Yeah. We all agreed to have dinner together, but they ditched me at the dying minute.”


    “Then it’s not their fault, I guess. You know, your brother is excellent at bossing people around.” Lillian murmured thest sentence.


    “Tch, that dude doesn’t hesitate to haunt me even if he isn’t around.” Be rolled her eyes while Lillian just chuckled.


    “Umm, can I ask a question, Be?” Lillian asked after a while of silence.


    “Sure, go ahead.”


    “About what happened to your parents… Do you hold your brother responsible?” Lillian hesitated for a while before asking.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    She didn’t know what reaction she would get, regarding that was a sensitive question. One could easily detect the fear in her tone.


    “Hold him responsible? Why? Besides, how do you know about it?” Be suddenly had a questioning look, like Lillian could see her.


    “Well, he told me about it and somehow, he feels guilty about what happened, that I think it became traumatizing for him.”


    “Which was why I wanted to know, no hidden intentions.” Lillian quickly added.


    “Chill! Sister-inw, I never said anything yet. It’s fine if you know about it, I am d he told you, though, he didn’t tell me anything, I had to hear it from an outsider.”


    “Never had I thought he would utter it to anyone, but he did. Goodness, I’m so jealous right now. My brother is so deep in love even without realizing it…..” A huge smile appeared on Be’s face as she threw a fist pump into the air.


    “Gosh, stop teasing me, Be.”


    “I wish I could. The heaven has finally granted my heart desire, so why shouldn’t I rejoice?” Be giggled like a child.


    “Alright, fine. I would answer your question…..” She exhaled slowly and continued, “Honestly, I didn’t feel good when I heard about it. Butter, I just decided to ept fate.”


    “And besides, my supposed father got what he deserved because I never had any good memory of him. So, it’s no one’s fault that he met his end quick.” Be continued as she rested back on the seat and sighed.


    “I am relieved to hear that you hold no grudge against your brother.”


    “I don’t, so you got nothing to worry about. Just worry about making him fall deep in love with you….”  Be giggled thest part.


    “Get off my phone, you naughty girl. I’m going back to bed.”


    “Of course, you should. I need a niece soon anyway. So don’t forget to make tonight freaky.”


    “Even before you say the word…” Lillian uttered with a chuckle before she hung up.


    Be’s head fell back inughter as she stared into her phone.

    “Why did you call me out here?” Eva red at the man sitting in front of her with so much hatred.


    She hadn’t gotten over what her father did to her, but there she was, in front of a person who could cause her another pain?


    “It took you long enough toe over.” us finally stated after a long while of silence.


    His eyes were concentrated on her body instead. He was trying to figure if what Don told him about Eva’s pregnancy being terminated was true.


    He couldn’t trust this b**ch because he was certain that baby was obviously his, and she might have lied to get Don to take responsibility unknowingly.


    “To tell you what? I never wanted to be here in the first ce because I can’t stand you at all….”  She was letting her anger get the best part of her and that would have earned her pain from us if only he hadn’te there for something else….


    “No. It’s probably because you know your pregnancy doesn’t belong to Don, instead, it is mine.”


    Eva’s heart skipped as she didn’t say a word immediately, she only lowered her head when it felt as if she had been caught red-handed.


    Taking in and out a few breaths, she lifted her head to stare daringly into his eyes.


    “So it was truly mine?” us scoffed out with an angry smile.


    He suddenly had more reasons to turn his back against thisdy. So, she was trying to pin his baby on his friend, so cheap of her!


    “Yeah. And I think this is where it ends for us. I’m out of your stupid game. Besides, I know that you weren’t responsible for Don’s ident the other day. I don’t understand why I was still ying dumb even when I knew.” Eva found this as an opportunity to cut ties off between them.


    “So, you’re….”


    “Yes, so don’t even think of contacting me again or even threatening me like you did today.” Eva sprang up and walked out of the restaurant with so much rage.


    us wasn’t even the slightest moved or angered, he already got what he wanted from her.


    “Boss, it’s done.” A guy in all ck came to join us on the seat after Eva had boarded a taxi.


    He had been in that same restaurant with them whilst he recorded all his boss’s and thedy’s conversations.


    us rested back on the seat and gave a long stare at the ss of juice Eva had left behind. He was going to make things right and clear himself off.


    “Send the recording with the other evidences to Don under my name.”
