**************************************
Chapter 5
*************************************
Disbelief
***************************************

Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve. The name kept ringing in my mind as I couldn’t explain why she would go through so much to see me suffer. Why she would leave the states and have me followed for so long for reasons that didn’t surpass me breaking her sister’ heart, supposedly anyway because we weren’t really dating per say. She played her game really well, putting her out of focus and making me dwell on Francess but I knew that it wasn’t just her; I had always known that someone else was involved but never actually thought it could be Eve.

Eve knew next to nothing about me except where I schooled and the programme I was undergoing in college but her thirst for whatever drove her to finding out very detail about things that really mattered to me. Well, I knew the person behind it now but I had no idea on what to do with the information, the only thing I could do was continue with her game and see where it leads. I moved from my standing position back to my chair and just slumped into it, I was clearly frustrated and completely out of ideas which has been the norm concerning this issue.

All this time, Francess had been quiet and busy watching me display my frustration. When I looked at her, her eyes were wet and few drops of tears gently went down her face. Why was she crying now, I really didn’t want to console another woman right now?
“What’s up with the face?” I asked, irritated.

“Everything is up with it, I really hate seeing you like this and I don’t how where to start in seeking forgiveness from but I had no choice in this, I would nev…”

“…That’s enough. Nothing you say can erase the words and lies you said against me, the deed is done and the effects of that day irreversible. I lost so many relationships that day and the very sense of belonging I had in this world. I have no father officially right now, no place in my family and of course, no recognition as an Osagie. I am a lost child and might remain so forever. You did more than just stop my marriage, you ruined me completely in all facets of my being, such things are hard to forgive, really hard to.”

“I didn’t think of the repercussions of what I did until I got home. I realized that I had just ruined a life just to save mine, it was something I couldn’t push away and I haven’t still forgiven myself, I won’t until you do.” She said with her eyes really wet now after she pulled off her glasses.
A woman who completely ruined me was demanding for something from me? Whether she was forced or not wasn’t my business, the fact was whenever I remembered the event which would surely hunt me for the rest of my life, I wasn’t going to see Eve’ face but Francess, so she had no right whatsoever to demand that I forgive her or not.

“Forgiving you will be my choice and doing that to yourself rests also on you alone, right now I can’t do it until I get to know why all this happened in the first place and I should have my answers in two days time, which is why you were here in the first place. You had eleven months to come here and explain things to me but you didn’t and only came here because you were sent. Look, I don’t want to lose myself at this moment, so just leave and never show your face around here again for whatever reasons. You have delivered your message, you can leave now.” I said coldly.

“Solomon, I …”

“Francess, please leave.” I demanded, cutting her off. She looked really hurt after what I said but I was having no regrets on anything and I wasn’t going to apologize. She sniffed and wiped her tears before standing, she gave me one last look of regret before walking towards the door.

“I may have hated you for how you played me but I would never have thought of such a cruel way to get back at you. The photos of you crying beside your car are with me, I kept copies to continually remind me of what I did to the one I once loved more than any other. The effects of what I did might hunt you forever but the stage play which was carried out by me will also hunt me till I leave this earth; it’s not just you who feels the pains, I do and will always do.” She stopped and suddenly said before leaving quickly.

She was hurt, I knew and the tears she shed that day was just her conscience tearing her apart, Francess was not the vengeful type, never was but I had to say the truth. Well, Francess was out of the picture now; it was time to face the real bittch behind my pains –Eve.

***************************************

The next two days before the meeting with Eve had to be my worst when it came to being anxious. Christ! I was restless and couldn’t get anything right. I drown a lot of bottles of sprite and I feared for my sugar level. Work hardly got done, most times; I had to give my secretary more duties than she was paid for. I barely ate and couldn’t seem to close my eyes for more than two hours. The day finally came and found at the location twenty minutes before time. The restaurant was just about five minutes drive from my estate which meant that Eve was still staying in her father’s place which made things really easy for her to tail me; our estates weren’t too far apart.

I looked around and wasn’t too surprised not to find her there. I bought two meat pies and decided to go for water because of the sugar I had consumed the past few days. I took a seat close to the glass panes which would make it easy for me to see when she finally decides to come. I was on the second pie when I saw a lady which I refused to believe was her emerged from a range rover. I refused to believe because this woman looked taller even if she wasn’t on heels but that wasn’t the strange thing, it was her hips; they were much more out than the last time I saw them. She appeared out to have added much weight which made her new shape even more mysterious. Her boobs were the same and as usual, she never failed to show the whole world how firm they were. She was on a vest of some kind which displayed more than enough of her boobs but a jacket did enough to hide her nips. She wore a tight pant that went with thumbs, a bag was on her left hand and her hair which was cropped low last I saw her now had a wig on it; fringe style.

She opened the door, saw me and walked over to my end. On a normal day, I would have been on my feet as soon as I saw her and opted to bring out her chair but this wasn’t your usual date, I was actually forced here so I remained where I was, paying attention to my pie other than the woman in front of me.

“Can’t you help a lady with the chair?” She asked in her foreign accent which strangely irritated me. I acted like I didn’t hear her and continued watching the programme. She soon got tired of waiting for me to be a gentle man and took her seat. She pulled off her sunglasses and then said,
“You have really changed, haven’t you? Seeing you via photos just aren’t the same in person, you really look good for someone who was only crying a few weeks ago, the chocolate loins of Ore must have something to do with it.” Her words brought my attention to her but I wasn’t surprised one bit at what she said, I had gone past being surprised at what she knew about me.

“Surprised?” she asked, grinning and taking a sip from my bottle of water.

“Why are you doing this, wasting your life over something that was never your business?” I instead said and her eyes took her a new look, her eyes seem to have caught fire.

“How dare you look me in the eye and utter such nonsense, how dare you? You good for nothing non-entity who only had only a dick and used that effectively to get whatever you wanted from my sister and later you discarded her after using her, after she gave you her heart and then you sit there and ask what’s my business in all this? Shitt, I could break that fvcking jaw of yours right now?” She suddenly said which surprised me greatly. I was embarrassed for us both because her voice kept rising as she spoke and naturally, heads turned to look at us which wasn’t cool at all.

“The fvck is wrong with you, why are you screaming?” I hissed at her but she didn’t look to be moved, it felt more like she wanted the attention.

“Wipe that smirk off your face and tell me why you have spent the last seven years of your life tailing me?”

“You still ask, after ruining my sister’ life and making her resent the world she lives in, including her own family?” Eve answered and suddenly started crying, this woman was surely a character.

“I still don’t understand.”

“Are you dumb? No, you aren’t, you are just wicked and heartless for you not to have known that my sister lost her mind after what you made her pass through.” She screamed yet again but that wasn’t what bothered me, it was what I just heard.

“…Lost her mind?”

“Yes, her mind is broken and that has made her reject her family for no reason at all other than she wants to be left alone and that was the last time she ever spoke a word to me or my Dad. Do you honestly know how it feels to be in the presence of your sister and she doesn’t seem to know that you are there, do you know how that feels?”

“Wait, do you mean to say that Maddy has gone nuts?” I asked, still confused.

“No, she seems to be aware of what goes on around her and still carry out normal activities and even get to work once in a while but has just refused to speak to us or recognize us as family. Psychologists can’t seem to explain it and that is partly because she has refused to see any as she continually claims to be sound in mind, which is true. She just seems to be in her new state of mind when it involves us and that has everything to do with you.” She ended her speech.

“I am sorry about what befell your sister but I had nothing to do with it.”

“Say that again and I solemnly swear to break your jaw?” she hissed.

I chuckled at what she said because it was really amusing for her to think that she could harm me,
“Look, I don’t care what you think but I and Maddy never dated or something, we were just fvck buddies. I loved her beyond that and made this known to her but she always laughed it off and made me look stupid. It was pretty frustrating and I waited for her to have a change of mind but that didn’t seem to happen and that forced me to look outside for love. I loved Maddy but that didn’t to be seemed to be the case with her and I can’t be blamed for her making decisions that had I nothing to do with, even if such decisions include turning her back on her family.”

Eve laughed after what I said; I mean a really good laugh which made me really doubt her sanity,

“Dude, you have got to be joking about what you just said. You have everything to do with it and you will fix the situation. This is what you are going to do; you will leave your fvcking business and come with me to the states in the next three weeks and find a way to return my sister back to the one I knew before you came into her life. Failure to do that will…” I had had enough of her threats and stood up to leave. She followed me as quickly as she could; she caught up with me just before I got into my car and said,

“You have no family to fall back on and the only thing that has kept you sane which is your business can also be destroyed by me. Should the three weeks elapse, I will come for you with all I have got and ruin you and the one joy you have in Ore. Test my patience at your own peril, three weeks Solomon, three fvcking weeks? You know how to contact me when you realize you have nowhere to turn.” She turned and got into her car after her threats, leaving me with a hard choice to make.

Chapter 5 contd
**************************************


It took a while to drive out from the parking lot of the restaurant as I thought of what Eve just said, or rather the threats she just directed at me. I watched her turn around and leave having made her point, I so wanted to get back at her but I knew I couldn’t because from what she told me across the table, she does have the needed motivation and reasons to have come at me with such zeal and won’t stop until I had done the impossible. I could just turn around and leave and relocate somewhere and start afresh but that would just be a temporary solution as Eve might still be able to find me and even if she doesn’t, what about the loved ones I would leave behind?

She knew about Francess and the fraud which was hidden away, she knows about Ore and pretty much nearly everything about me. She has everything she could possibly have to ruin the life I would leave me behind. I had done irresponsible damage to the women I cared about whether directly or indirectly, including; Francess, Dotun and now Maddy, I couldn’t allow Ore into the mix, she has been more than a friend the past few months. I couldn’t allow her get ruined by a vengeful woman whose mind was surely just as broken as her sister’.

Despite the fact I knew the consequences of not adhering to her demands, I still couldn’t allow myself to be controlled and tossed around like a dog on a leach. I could argue back and forth that this Maddy’ condition if true wasn’t my fault but the truth was I had something to do with and should find a way of settling things before seeking for vengeance against Eve later. Yes, I planned to get back at her after I must have reunited her with her sister if that was possible. She would surely be vulnerable after that and that would be the best time to strike. She couldn’t just walk into my life; ruin everything about it because she believes I took her sister from her. That could be it; help with her trouble and then strike when she least expects but with what? That was the million dollar question but I was confident this time that I could find my way around this. I started my car and drove back home.

***************************************

The first week went by quickly and I was still yet to decide, not on the issue per say but in whose hands I was going to leave my business in. My secretary was one I trusted but not with administrative and managerial duties, so she was out of the picture. I had no assistant or whatever as I was never out for too long in any vacation but this was different as I had no clue on when I was going to return. I could have easily called my sisters but they both didn’t want to have anything to do with me at the moment as the revelations at the introduction still weighed heavily on their minds. I couldn’t blame them though because I didn’t think of the excuses or reasons they were going to give their husbands to allow them come help me manage my business.

So, family was out of it, I didn’t trust my friends and the one person I could call upon was Ore and lately we haven’t been on the same page, which was entirely my fault. After what Eve said the other day, I decided to stay away from her for the now even if that wouldn’t in any way going to remove her from the cards that could be played by the evil bittch but I just wanted to be away from her for now. She had called me severally to see me with me promising that I would come see her but never did because I didn’t want to in the first place. It was the weekend already and I knew that she would surely come over to my place as I had told her severally never to come see me in the office if it wasn’t for business purposes.

I closed from work that day really late, and came home to find Ore waiting for me in her work clothes. She was yet to change to something else despite the fact we both knew that I wasn’t going to drive her home that night and so, an overnight bag should be with her. Not changing to something erotic was her way of telling me that she was here to talk, not that it would have mattered anyway, I had promised myself not to sleep with anyone until I had solved the problem. I dropped my suit case and slumped to the nearest couch without even saying a word to recognize Ore’ presence.

“Lying isn’t enough, now you are going to act like you didn’t see me, huh?” She said in a soft voice that betrayed her cold face, which was funny. Ore was never the one to stay angry for long, especially with someone like me, she loved me too much and that was her weakness. I had used that knowledge to get a lot of things from her and might still be forced to use that card tonight.

“Don’t you feel uncomfortable on those clothes?” I asked referring to her suit and pants. She rolled her eyes and shook her head; I was doing what she hated most - ignoring her questions.

“It’s useless, I wonder why I keep trying even when it is glaring that you don’t even have an atom for respect for me talk more of feelings? I will just take my leave, there is fried rice in the cooler, help yourself.” She said, taking her bag and heading for the door. What she said did hurt me because I not respect or have just feelings for her; I cherished her more than anyone in my life presently.

“I could help with taking those clothes off, it’s been a while we did that.” I said just as she got to the door.

“Thanks but I can do that myself and my Love Machine has really been sufficient since your shaft has gone on vacation.” I laughed but she was serious and was already opening the door.

“Fine, let’s take a shower together and then we can talk.” She paused and after a few seconds, she closed the door and hurried up the stairs. I watched her butt bounced through her suit pant but just as the previous months, I felt nothing, no reaction or hardening, nothing. My mind has been programmed to react to the sight of just Dotun, it was something I did to myself and now I couldn’t seem to get out of it. There was no point joining Ore in the bathroom and when the time was right, I would fail to replace her big, lifeless object.

So, I waited for the shower to stop running and after I was certain that she would have worn something by now, I ran upstairs and found her brushing her hair. I took off my clothes and dumped them in the dirty bin before heading for the bathroom. I took my time there as I usually do when it involved washing my body and when I finally got out; Ore was no longer in the room. I heard the TV turn on and knew that she had gotten tired of waiting for me, this woman sure has patience. I got dressed and found my way to the living room, switched off the TV and took a seat close to her on the couch.

“Don’t ever say what you said to me again, it hurts to hear that from you. You know how much I care about you, don’t you?” I asked, pulling her to me in her silky night wear, she didn’t say anything though, just kept staring at the TV which was switched off.

“Alright, you want to know why I haven’t been available lately, here it goes.” I narrated the whole tale to her including the threats and all after which she came alive but she was angry now.

“How could she do all that to you because of the decision her sister chose to take?”

“She might not have any right to but I can’t deny my involvement in this; I actually caused this and if I don’t go along with her instructions, I will lose more. For now, she has lost what is most dear to her, which is her sister which makes her more dangerous and leaves me at a disadvantage. I have more to lose now and that will only motivate her to keep coming until she has completely ruined me and you will be taken along with the fiasco.”

“You have to fight her and not just do what she wants; besides I can take care of myself.”

“It’s more than that and I am sure you can see the big picture. I know her patterns now; she goes for one’s family first because she knows that’s what matters most to anyone before coming head on to finish the person. Ore, that psycho is the last person you want to mess with.” I said

“So, you are going to do what now, relocate to the states until you have been able to convince her sister to change her mind, that’s if she isn’t already nuts. What’s going to happen to you and your business?” She asked which was what I wanted in the first place.

“That is where you come in and is partly the reason why I have been avoiding you lately. I have no one to leave my business to pending the time I will return but I trust you enough to do that but the problem is that you can’t be helping my business and doing the same at your place of work. You have to pick one and it’s not….”

“…I will do it Solomon, don’t worry about that.” She announced.

“Are you certain, there is no…”

“I am. Fix this issue once and for all.” I was so touched that I cried that day. This was someone who I barely knew and apart from tearing the sheets, we had nothing in common but she was willing to do what my family couldn’t.

“Thank you, thank you so much.” I cried as I hugged her tightly and as soon as her boobs touched my chest, I jerked and that familiar roar of blood all gathering and moving to one place at the lower part of my body was back. My shaft came alive and we both know that the end was history. I made love to Ore that night not bang her as usually do and watched her sleep off only after the second round but I didn’t because I couldn’t.

***************************************

The second week was all about Ore resigning with the blessing from her manager and me showing her around the office and explaining in details the nifty- gritty of the business which she didn’t have a problem understanding any. She was genuinely upbeat about the whole thing and wanted to win this challenge. I on my own part wasn’t too happy about it but I notified Eve at the end of the second week. I had a U.S Visa already and only needed a ticket to wherever we were going to. I was certain Eve knew this which made her plans even easier.

She replied me two days later that she was ready too and had got us both tickets to Philadelphia and we would be using Lufthansa airlines. Departure time was Thursday, the third week, 10 a.m prompt and it was going to be a direct flight. I hated the whole agreement of the whole thing and the more fact that she paid for my ticket which was nearly a thousand dollars for a single person when I later found out. I was grateful for what she did afterwards.

On the said day, Ore drove me to the airport as she had moved to my house already and had resumed work at the office. She was with me all through the process of clearance and all that mumbo-jumbo at the airport with Eve watching us as we kissed and cuddled. Ore initiated most of them anyway, women stuff that shouldn’t be too surprising to most guys. Finally, we were good to go and our good-bye kiss took longer, I separated from her with her crying but I promised to return.

I got into the plane and wasn’t surprised to find out that we were to sit together. I was allocated the seat close to the windows and that was where I was throughout the journey because she didn’t talk to me and I didn’t too. We landed at Philly international airport and after going through the east gate from terminal A, another round of clearance began again which was tiresome. It took a while and once we were free to go, Eve called a taxi and gave the driver an address I was barely interested in as I just wanted to get this over with.

The drive was long, it took nearly three hours because the city was quite big and broad street where Eve stayed was a bit far from the airport. The house was in a residential area and the house detached from the rest. It was a cool neighborhood with lots of black kids around and other ethnic groups. The city was beautiful as I heard it was one of the oldest and important in American history. Eve paid the driver and greeted a few of her neighbours who were outside then. I didn’t and just followed her lead to the door, she got in and after locking the door, showed me my room upstairs. I locked my door and remained there till evening watching movies on my phone. Eve later called me for dinner but I refused to answer and after knocking a few times without an answer, resigned and ate dinner alone that night.

“Tomorrow, we will be visiting Maddy so better get your acts together.” She announced after doing the dishes and went to her room. I switched off my phone after killing the battery as I had nothing to use to charge it until I got an adapter to enable me use the U.S 220v against Nigeria’s 240v. I thought of how I was going to cope with the woman I hated more than anything and also how I would approach Maddy when I finally saw her the next day. I was anxious and rightly so.

Chapter 5 contd
***************************************


I never truly sleep where I wasn’t comfortable at a place so my night was filled with tossing around here and there, I couldn’t close my eyes for more than two hours straight and when I thought I heard the door being opened early in the morning, I got up. I slumped back into the bed after a few seconds of standing because I was really weak, effect of the long flight. It was jeg-leg and I hated to be in such a situation anytime I travelled. I tried once again and got up to my feet before and used whatever I could lay my hands on in the room for support till I got to the door. I left my room door and checked the other room just across mine which I assumed was Eve’ but found it to be locked. I checked the other one as it was a four bedroom duplex with a guest room on the grand floor. The room too was locked which frustrated me, I was hungry and really wanted to sleep.

I wondered where the evil woman would have gone to so early in the morning as it was just past five or thereabouts. I held the railings of the staircase for support and walked down slowly and continued with using the wall until I got to the kitchen which didn’t have a door. I opened the refrigerator to find it filled with milk and vegetables and fruits, and nothing one could eat that could hold water. I was even angrier at the thought and wondered the sort of food the dumb woman called me out to eat the previous night.

I took a pack of skimmed milk and a few biscuits that looked good to the eye before settling to eat. Eating gave me the opportunity to take a good look at the house; it wasn’t like the houses I had become used to back in Nigeria. The kitchen was more like a big room without any wall separating it from the living room which was quite cool. The dining was in the kitchen and the living room had few furniture but more of picture frames of Eve and other persons or abstract stuffs. There was an aquarium somewhere and the normal TV and sound system but I was surprised to find a play station there, other than that, there was nothing too fancy about the living room.

My room was just like any other but the difference was that I had drawers instead of wardrobes which I didn’t like of course but I couldn’t complain. It wasn’t my place and I had no plans to make it so. Ore soon took over my mind and I wondered how I was going to call her now without the permission of Queen Eve. It then occurred to me that I could use one of the social apps to do the calling, all I needed was a Wi-Fi connection and I was certain to have that in the house. I finally ate enough even if it wasn’t sufficient and discarded the wrappers before washing the cup. I returned to my room, pulled off my clothes and headed for the bathroom that wasn’t too difficult to find.

Eve’s items were all over the place which irritated me but I knew I had to shower though. I did as quickly as I could after brushing and returned promptly to my room. I cleaned u, got dressed and still Eve wasn’t back yet. I locked my door before falling asleep as soon as my back touched the bed. I woke up when sun was hitting the ground really hard, I got up immediately and wondered just how long I slept. The time was a few minutes past four which meant that I was out for more than ten hours, damn, that was quite a lot. I never slept for more than six hours no matter how tired I was the journey must have really taken a hit on my body.

I got out of my room and went down the stairs to find Eve engrossed reading a book. She pulled the book apart from her eyes as soon as I got down from the stairs and smiled, before saying,

“Finally you are up, I thought you were never going to leave that room.” I rolled my eyes and found a couch to sit on; I wondered why she thinks we were cool or something. I took a look at her again to find her watching me, which I thought was weird. She had been doing that since when we were in Nigeria, does she have to continue here and why in God’s name couldn’t she wear a decent cloth? Her boobs were practically spilling out from her vest or whatever it was but I felt nothing though even if I caught her grinning when she saw my eyes locked at her chest.

“When do we get to see your sister?” I asked.

“Oh, that would be soon, very soon but you have to eat something first before we find our way to her place.” She suggested like she actually cared.

“I am not hungry besides you have nothing edible one can eat.” She laughed and said,

“I do now though and I got you an adapter to charge your phone.” I gave a mocking smile and found the item where she said it was. I plugged the whole thing and set off to business but had to wait for the phone to juice a little.

“Wi-fi password?” I asked.

“Selena Gomez, with a space between the words.” She replied. I typed and logged in to see so many messages from a few friends but so much from Ore. I answered her messages and sent a few voice notes of how I missed her and all that without caring if Eve was listening. I then continued with my movies which I sorted according the actors and actresses I liked. I was on Russell Crowe before the travel so I continued with Gladiator, the movie that won him his only Oscar award. At some minutes past five, Eve stood up and went upstairs, I looked up as she did and found it difficult to return to my movie as I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. There was something behind her back, something really big compared to what I knew to be there before and I wondered how she was able to get such arse in a few years. Yes, I knew she worked out a lot and was probably out jogging in the morning but no workout could grow something like that. If I had to guess, I would say her arse would be around 38 – 40 inches which was quite decent. The arse was surely not natural and plactic surgery or fat grafting had to be the way she grew it.

I returned to my movie and a few minutes later, Eve returned wearing straight pants and a jacket which had a thick shirt behind it. I took my jean jacket and went with her to the garage without asking any questions. She got into her ford explorer and I did too, the other car in the garage was a Camry. She drove out of the drive way and headed towards an area I later knew as East Oak lake in North Philly, which was west of broad street. On our way, I saw really beautiful and amazing buildings, especially the sports complex. We got into the neighbourhood which had an array of buildings; we passed a few and stopped beside a bungalow.

She asked us to wait inside the car and I wondered why and thought it strange that she kept checking the time. We stayed there in the car for almost thirty minutes before she said we could open the door now. I saw a few groups of people outside and I hoped and prayed that no one notified the police of our unusual stay in the car but it didn’t seem so as most of them outside, close to us kept saying hello to Eve. She must be well known around her then, I thought. We stayed close to the car and while Eve’s focus was straight ahead of her, I was busy looking around and familiarizing with where Maddy stayed. A tap from Eve brought back attention and I didn’t need to ask why she called me back because just a few metres ahead of us was Maddy.

She was jogging and was on dark lycra pants with matching shirt and earphones to her ears. She didn’t look much different from the time we last saw but just as her sister, her hips were out far more outlined than I remembered and her thighs a little thicker. She didn’t appear to notice us or she did and didn’t give a hoot until she got really close and our eyes locked for a second. She stopped abruptly in her run and stood transfixed staring right back at me. She stood there like she had been hypnotized by me and I did the same as I didn’t how to react at that particular moment. She later started walking slowly towards me and I swear all of the good times we both shared came rushing back to my head and I felt like a fool for ruining everything.

As she walked, her eyes never left mine nor did they blinked at all which scared me. She stopped just inches from my face and kept looking into my eyes, she didn’t say anything and I didn’t too as I was just following my instincts. She attempted to touch me but withdrew but later withdrew her hand with a few drops of tears gathering around her eyes. At this juncture, people were staring which made me really uncomfortable. She tried once again to touch me but didn’t or couldn’t, after a few drops of tears fell from her face with me being unable to do anything or even utter a word, she turned abruptly and walked into her house without even looking at her sister. It was like Eve wasn’t there to her and everyone could see her except her.

I turned to follow her into the house as I wasn’t comfortable saying or doing anything due to the people watching but Eve held me back.

“Don’t go in with her except if you want to explain to the police why you would go into a woman’s place without an invitation. She has to invite you in or else she will call the cops. She has done that to me a few times which wasn’t cool at all even if I am her sister. You saw what she did to me?” Eve asked and I nodded.

“Good, now look me in the eye and tell me that you have nothing to do with what’s wrong with my sister.” Eve ordered but I didn’t do as she asked, I couldn’t because I knew now that I had everything to do with Maddy being a little crazy. I didn’t like her reaction and the lost look in her eyes like she had no life in her. This wasn’t going to be a quick fix as I had thought, I had a lot of work to do and it sure wasn’t going to be easy.
