Chapter 50 Training
After the beach episode, Eva was frustrated with Stephen. Pretending like a happy couple is ok, but what’s the need to talk with Rose like that?
She ordered the maid to serve her meals in the bedroom only; she thought maybe Stephen would object or better insist her to join him on the meals, but to her surprise nothing happened like that.
At dinner time, she came to know that Stephen also asked his meals in
the office room
She uttered some colorful words in her mind for Stephen
After completing her dinner, Eva sat on the balcony of her room. Eva got settled on the swing and kept looking at the beautiful view of the sea.
After spending some time, she felt her eyes droop, so she wanted to sleep. The moment she entered the bedroom, she spotted Stephen, but what amazed her were his actions. Stephen was placing a pillow in a row-like wall in the center of the bed. “What are you doing?”
“Saving myself from you."
“What? And what did I do?"
"That's the problem. You don’t have a good memory; see how you forget what you did last night.”
“What?
“See Eva, I can get that you are getting attracted to me and it’s obvious too, as I am an irresistible man clutching to me like that, especially...“”
“Shut up. I did nothing like that."
“It’s ok if you don’t accept your allure for me."
Eva just gritted her teeth in anger. “Don’t you need to bother? I will sleep in the other room."
“That’s not happening. Nobody is leaving this room. I don’t want to provide the house with some gossip about us. Am I clear?
Eva was frightened to listen to his strict tone, whereas Stephen rakes his fingers in his hairs to calm his anger. He doesn’t even like the thought of Eva leaving him
Tears pooled in Eva’s eyes. She just picked up her pillow and hit the couch, as she doesn’t want to share the bed with him after his accusation.
Stephen noticed her actions quietly as he knew he offended her, but why is she so naive that she wouldn’t notice the tease behind his words, or maybe Steve was always right about him? —that he doesn’t know how to deal with woman or flatter
At that time Stephen didn’t care about these comments, but now he does as he wants to impress his wife. It was awful for him to see Eva ignoring him all the time. And moments before he just lost his cool on her, he noticed her glossy eyes and cussed himself for doing this.
Eva slept on the couch Stephen didn’t object, as he didn’t want to hurt her more
It was midnight when Stephen noticed her in deep slumber and slowly reached to her. He noticed the dry tear marks
His heart pained to see her like this. He slowly scooped her up in his arms and made her settle on the bed
The next morning, when eva woke up, she found herself on the bed, She looked for Stephen but he was not present in the room
She decided to talk about this shifting of place later and entered the washroom to complete her morning routine
After getting ready for breakfast, the only thing running through her mind was food, so she quickly entered the dining room. She spotted Stephen already settled for breakfast.
Spotting her Stephen wished her
“Good morning."
Eva mumbled, “Good morning."
"I hope you slept well, as today I have to discuss some important things with you. Finish your breakfast, then we'll talk.”
Eva was not interested in any discussion but her mind was too focused on food so she just gave a nod and started enjoying in her breakfast
After finishing with breakfast, Stephen left for the study room. and Eva followed him
After arriving the room, Stephen told her to lock the door Eva was shocked at his words but still she locked the door
Stephen signaled for her to take a seat and passed a file at her, Eva hold the file
"These are the details of the Hudson properties that are on your name now. I want you to go through it.
“Me! But why me?”
“Because Eva, you will take hold of these properties after our reception. “
"No, I mean, I told you already that I don’t have any knowledge of business and
Moreover, I don’t want this. Why don’t you handle this ?’
“ you both think alike."
“ Both! Who else?"
“Who else, your uncle Liam Hudson?"
Eva frowned at his tease. Stephen.
Chuckled and started
"Trust me, he will expect me to hold onto the properties in your name. But he will get the shock of his life when he spots you talking hold of the properties. “
"What? But how and why?”
“Eva, you want your dad to be safe, right, so you have to face them. I don’t want you to hide yourself behind me to keep yourself safe. Show them you are not scared and face them yourself. “
Eva kept listening to him with wide eyes. This idea only did not convince her
“Before confronting, we have to work a lot on you; don’t worry, I will train you. We have a set-out hand before we return to LA. So your training session starts now.
It shocked Eva to know about some training—what training he was talking about that she didn’t know so she retorted
“I don’t need any training."
Stephen told her, “That we will see, for now. Could you please uncover the boxes in front of you? Do it one. By one “
Eva shrugged her shoulders. It shocked her that she didn’t notice these boxes till now, so I unwrapped the first box and found a beautiful pink frock dress in. it. She smiled, looking at the dress
Then she picked up the second box and found a purple dress in it. She gleamed at the beautiful embroidery of the dress. She moved her hands on the beautiful embroidery
When she heard Stephen
“So, which one do you like the most?
Eva was going to reply, but Stephen beat her in that
“Don’t bother, as I know you like the purple one."
“Hmm, yes, you are right, but how do you know?
“It was written on your face. That’s a very first tip for you. Never ever show your true feelings on your face or else it will be easy for others to know about your actual thought process
You should keep your face as calm as you can."
Eva listening to look her carefully, and all day Stephen kept notifying her important points that she must consider and follow in future
It was evening time when Stephen was sitting on the beachside, enjoying his drink. He Was glad that Eva heard all his tips carefully and he just wished that she will learn all her teachings soon
He was looking at the sea waves when he found a figure emerging from the water. He blinked his eyes twice as the young lady who was walking towards the beach wearing a two-piece is none other than his wife
Stephen noticed her keenness, water dripping from her body and her perfect figure; her every curve was noticeable to him
He gulped. The lump formed In his throat, his mouth was hung open looking at her bold appearance
She used to swim in his house too but that swimming suit was more decent than to what she is wearing now
Eva was constantly monitoring his expressions as she made her way to the beach, aware of the impact she had on him. As soon as she made it to the beach, she grabbed the bathrobe and put it on, gazing at him.
Stephen was still in the spell of her beauty. After all, she was the only woman who stole his heart.
To his surprise, Eva reached close to him and told him,
“I know what you are thinking now, as it’s all on your face, Stephen. I think you should work on yourself first than start acquainting me
Got it.. So wonderful night."
Eva turned around with a smirk on her face, but before she could move forward, She felt a powerful pull on her band and gasped as she landed on Stephen’s chest
Stephen held her in his arms and told her
“You impressed my wife, but whatever I taught you today and in the coming days will be for your professional life. As far as my running thoughts are concerned, believe me, you don’t have any idea what’s going on inside my brain and how hard it is to control my desires. “
His raspy voice, his closeness and his darting eyes made Eva nervous She cursed herself for pulling this stunt
She was struggling to get out of his hold but the next moment her breath hitched when she saw stephen bringing his face close to her She closed her eyes in fear of what’s coming up but soon she felt his warm lips on her cheek, and he whispered in her ears
“ Good night, love.'
