“Eva, please, please listen to me, please."
Eva entered her cabin and harry followed her
“It’s ok, Harry, if you don’t believe my words, and I don’t want to argue with you about this. I am done with all these filthy games of your dad. So I am ending all this at once. It’s important to take this step for me, for my family, and especially for my baby.
Harry looked at Eva dumbfounded.
“Are you pregnant?”
Eva gave a nod and harry took her in a warm hug
“Congratulations, dear... and I believe you. I know how my dad is. You just take care of yourself."
Eva smiled in tears, listening to his words.
Hardy broke the big and asked her
“I hope you don’t desire to quit our relationship because of this mess. “
“No.. Never. Besides my dad, you’re the only family I have as a cousin... I realize I disappointed you by stepping down, but sometimes quitting can lead to unexpected gains.
Thank you, Harry, for all your care and support.”
“Take care, and always remember I am always there for you if you need anything, ok?
Eva gave a nod and Harry escorted her towards until she got settled in her car
In smith mansion
There was pin-drop silence in the study room of the Smith mansion. William., Stephen, and Michael were all staring at Eva with wonder.
“Are you sure about this decision?” William asked Eva. It’s clear that you’re doing an outstanding job as the MD of the Hudson group of companies. Despite that, are you genuinely considering selling all the hotels, resorts, and manufacturers that bear your name?"
“Yes, dad, “Eva replied with confidence
“Ok, then, as you wish, we are all here to support your decision." William. commented, and soon everyone retired to their rooms. Stephen didn’t comment a word and left the room with his parents and brother. Eva also moved his dad’s wheelchair to the guest room.
After arriving in the room, Eva made his dad settle on the bed and then he was exciting the room but Michael called her
Michael asked her, “Why didn’t you discuss this with anyone, particularly with Stephen?
He’s been the one who’s supported and encouraged you to manage this business, and we all acknowledge your excellent work. So, why this choice?
Loving my family is the driving force behind everything I do. Dad, I know Stephen is worried about my decision, but it was the only way for me to find peace again. I’ll talk to him, so don’t worry. Take some time to relax.
After exiting the guest too. She reached her bedroom. Eva spotted Steven struggling to adjust the belt around his arm
Eva reached near him and tried to help him. Stephen let her help after adjusting the belt. Eva got settled near Stephen and asked him,
“Are you upset with me?”
"No..No.. Why should I be angry with you? You just made your choice? And to be fair, I am disappointed by myself I know after this attack you must have had doubts about my capabilities to keep you and our family safe
That’s the reason you had no choice but to do this.”
“No.. I didn’t lose trust in you, so please don’t phrase it that way. Stephen, I know we might have discussed this before, but I wasn’t mentally ready for a debate about it.
Stephen, I yearn for a life of peace. Living in constant fear of losing someone dear is unbearable for me.
I decided based on what I believed was right.
Stephen sighed and told her, “Okay, then, tell me if you need any help. “
“Yes, I do. I didn’t disclose the entire conversation with Liam to family members, but I think you need to know. “
“What is it? Did he threaten you? “ Stephen asked in a rage
“No, it’s the other way around. I told him we got hold of the shooter, and he confessed his name, so I threatened him to send him to prison."
“What??? You did what?? And why the hell did you lie to him? We all know that we didn’t even have a clue about the shooter
I know, but I just...
Eva, do you even know who he is? He will get to know about your lie in the flick of a second
“I am sorry... but.. I was just.. “ Eva apologized for her mistake.
“OK, but for now you will stay at home, and don’t worry, I will try to handle Liam."
It was evening time when Liam was sitting in his cabin, in discussion with his men, who were trying to get the whereabouts of the shooter
The shooter already left the city, as you ordered us to do. We are sure that he has already reached another city.
Are you 100% sure? Did you contact him?
Sir, you told us not to contact him, so we didn’t
Then I am ordering again to contact him. And know about his whereabouts. I need to know about his location.
Now leave.
After his men left the cabin, Liam was worried about Eva’s decision. He cannot afford to lose all his wealth like this. For him, all these belong to him and only him. Liam was regretting for not killing era earlier only
She is the sole reason for his misery. The next moment, a phone call from one of the trusted men gets his attention.
He attended the call, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
So little Birdie lied to me. Great, then let’s see who plays the game better. “
That night, when Liam reached home, he found housekeepers lacing some trolley bags in Harry’s car. It surprised him they did not inform him about Harry’s traveling plan until he reached his room, where Harry was busy packing his stuff.
“What’s happening? Ooh, so you are going on a trip. Great. Everyone needs a break. Tell me if you need anything. “ on
“I am not going for any trip; I am leaving this house forever."
“Come again! Did you just say you are leaving this house and me too? But why? “
“Yes. I can’t live with you anymore.”
"Really, and why so? As far as recall, I never invaded your privacy, even when you wished for that useless demand of attending a culinary school. I supported you. Then why do you wish to leave me?"
You are always wrong that, all my childhood, I saw my mother suffering because of you; she died because of the anxiety and distress that you brought into her life. I will never forgive you for that
Ooh yeah, your mother, such a lame excuse of a woman never gave me any happiness.
That’s why I have searched for it in another woman... and if you hate me so much, then why did you return to this house... for my wealth, of course?
Harry sighed and then chuckled. “No wonder you think like this, for your wealth is much more important than relationships. And I returned because I do care for you. Remember, you have a cardiac arrest.
.. Before Liam could reply, a housekeeper informed him about some guest
“Guest! Who is it? Didn’t you ask His name?"
I did, sir. Mr Stephen Smith.“
Liam and Harry, in their respective capacities, were astounded upon receiving news of Stephen's arrival. Liam started for the living room, and Harry followed him. surprise,
After reaching the living room, they found Stephen waiting for them
Liam masked his emotions and welcomed him
“What a pleasant surprise, Mr. Smith. Please have a seat. “
Stephen shook his hands with Liam and got suited on a sofa
Liam also got settled on the other couch, as did Harry, who greeted Stephen with a nod
‘So what brings you here, me, Smith? Don’t mind my words, but I assume you must be resting at home."
“I am fine, Mr Hudson, and I have to discuss some personal matters so I had to disturb you..’
“What is it? “
“I know you must have contacted the snipper till now and already started thinking of ways to hurt my wife. But in that case, I will like you to read this file first."
“What is it? “ first time Harry inquired while Liam held the file, which Steven passed him
Nothing special, just some documents that are enough to uncover the evil deeds of your father.
How he is hiding behind the mask of a businessperson and dealing in drugs, human trafficking, and a statement of the family doctor of Hudson who has enough proof that Mr. LEO HUDSON.

“What? Dad, is this true?”
“No.. not at all and Stephen smith I will sue you for plotting this fake evidence against me. I didn’t do any sort of this."
Hmm, okay, but the medical records of your father mention something different.
No worries, as you want to go legally, then we will better discuss this in court.
And if you are anyhow planning to harm my wife, even a single scratch on her and I have enough price to demolish your world. So think wisely and good night. “
Liam slumped on the sofa nearby, reading the documents again and again and harry was giving a hateful look at his dad
