EVA POV ?
My name is Eva Sinclair, I am 23 years old and I’m not responsible for the death of my Dad.
I know nothing about it, I was only deceived into selling him out.
Before a month ago, I was just that regular ha-rd-working girl whose ambition is to see her grandmother and sister happy and live healthily but a month ago, I was told that the man whom I called MY BOSS and the woman whom I’ve learned to hate are my parents; just imagine how I felt after learning that truth.
It wasn’t pleasing to my ears and I didn’t want to accept that fact until DNA proved otherwise so I had no choice but to play their missing lovely daughter. I wanted to get back at ma’am Vivian and teach Mr. Stanley a lesson but Mr. Julius came up with a brilliant idea, he wants me to help him get ma’am Vivian back and since am the only way for those two (Stanley and Vivian) to get back together, I’ll as well be the reason why they can’t get together so I agreed with him but little did I know that he has his plans that I wasn’t aware of.
I played along for a whole month until Steve caught me red-handed and without even wanting to know what the actual reason was, he begged me to stop hurting my supposed parents and I obeyed……… Did I?

RYAN POV ?
I was just looking at Sandra as she kept on talking about her life in Spain and all the good times she had when my phone beeped, I took it from the table it was to check the text message and what I saw made me stand up immediately.
“Are you okay?” She asked me.
“I’m sorry but we’ll have to do this next time, there’s something urgent that I nee-d to attend to,” I said to her and got out of my chair.
“Okay then, I can tag along.” She got up and took her pulse. I wanted to decline but let it go and she followed.

EVA POV ?
I jumped the fence to get into the house since nobody wants to open the gate for me and I went straight to the door Ban-ging it like a hungry lion. I can’t believe I allow this devil of a person to trick me into killing a human being.
“Oh, so it’s you.” He said the second he opened the door to see me. He pulled me in and shut the door.
“There’s a problem, our plan didn’t work we have to strategize another one.” He said and I was just looking at him. Wasn’t he the nice man who always supported me anytime something bad is about to happen to me? Wasn’t he the nicest among the Mckings’ brothers?! Or am I wrong? Was what Steve said true? Is he a monster?
“Mr. Stanley is dead,” I said as I could feel my eyes tearing up. He gave me a look that connotes ‘why are you acting like this?’ and I knew for that instant that I have been dining with the demon himself.
“I had to do what I had to do to get Vivian back and…”
“You killed a person?!” I yelled and he took a step closer to me.
“Look Eva you have to put yourself together and let’s think of another plan.” He said and I nod my head as a no.
“I’m reporting you to the police. You killed my father!” I said and wanted to leave but he held me on my shoulders.
“Look here kid, I did you a favor for getting rid of that man. He is worthless and doesn’t deserve to be on this planet earth. If you help me with this plan, I’ll take Vivian away and you’ll get to live your life just the way you want it.” He said and I found myself shivering in fear.
What have I gotten myself into??
“No! I can’t be a part of all this anymore.” I said as the tears start rolling down my cheeks. He nod his head angrily and push me away but thankfully someone caught me. It was Ryan.
“You’re okay now.” He made me stand on my feet.
“Game over Dad.” He said and he laughed.
“It’ll be over when I say so. I am the Mastermind of all these and it’s not ending until I get bored.” He said.
“I’m sorry but you’ve lost.” Steve got in too and I’m grateful that they’re all here on time.
“Lost? Can’t you see?! I’m on the winning side.” He said boldly.
“Are you sure about that?!” Mr. Stanley who was wheeled in by ma’am Vivian said and I smile that everything is working out as we planned it.
You might be confused but just relax let me refresh your memory…

I played along for a whole month until Steve caught me red-handed and without even wanting to know what the actual reason was, he begged me to stop hurting my supposed parents and I obeyed……… Did I?
Yes, I did…
FLASHBACK
“So, he put you up to this?!” He asked but I just stood there, he stretch the phone to me to answer and I took it then pressed the answer bu-tton and he signaled me to place it on handsfree which I did.
“Hello, sir,” I said into the phone
“I’ve got a job for you, Eva.” Mr. Julius said into the phone and I and Steve’s eyes met as he nod his head for me to play along. Even though I hated what he was making me do, I still want to trust him.
“What do you nee-d me to do sir?”
“Good. I nee-d you to get me Stanley’s next location. I nee-d to have a conversation with him.” He said into the phone and I look at Steve who nod his head again.
“Okay sir, I’ll get back to you on that,” I said and the call got disconnected. I brou-ght the phone down from my ear.
“So, what’s next?” Steve asked me.
“What do you mean what’s next? He just wanted to have a conversation with your dad probably about ma’am Vivian.” I said.
“Do you seriously believe that? If he wants to confront Dad doesn’t he know his office? We both know you’re smarter than this Eva.”
“Give me this and if am wrong I’ll leave you alone.” He said and I decide to trust him.
°°°°°°°°°°
“I’ll be going to St. James for prayers, would you like to come?” Mr. Stanley asked me.
“No, thank you,” I said returning the smile.
“You should learn to call me Dad.” He said and then emBr@ce me.
As he was about to get in the car, Steve called him back and gave him a ti-ght emBr@ce, he whispered to him not to forget what we had spoken about inside before he stepped out. Steve had given him a jacket which he called a lifesaver so that was what he reminded him.
“I love you Dad.” He said and Mr. Stanley ki-ssed his forehead. Gross, I will never allow him to do this sh!t with me.
“Alright, I’ll see you guys in a bit.” He said and got in his car then drove off as Steven came to stand beside me.
“Don’t forget what we talked about.” He said and winked at me. I roll my eyes as I watch him walk away.
I took my phone and sent uncle Julius Mr. Stanley’s location. I’m going to make them regret ever abandoning me.
I did all these just to know if Steve was right about him. I did send him the location but we’ve already planned how Mr. Stanley won’t get bruised seriously. Steve as-sured me that even if it was going to be an explosion, Mr. Stanley will come out alive meanwhile, I was hoping that Mr. Julius isn’t the man they all say he was.
Later on, Steve rod his bike to my front and asked me to hop in which I did and we followed Mr. Stanley.
I watched from a distance how a car intentionally hit Mr. Stanley’s causing it to fall down the cliff. I wanted to scream but I was quick to cover my mouth as the tears roll down.
We waited till the other car drove off then we went to Mr. Stanley and we were able to pull him out and we took him to the hospital without anybody knowing. When ma’am Vivian found out about this, she was so furious and promised to send Mr. Julius to prison for attempted murder.
I was speechless and helpless, I didn’t know what else to do.
.
.
.
.
NOW.
I fold my hands up to my che-st watching his shocked expression.
“How is this possible?!” He asked with a shaky voice.
“I’ve known you to lack everything but it never crossed my mind that you’ll also lack what is called FAMILY.” Mr. Stanley said.
“You’re evil than I thought Julius, why will you even come up with such an idea and use my daughter for your evil schemes?! You must be imprisoned for this.” Ma’am Vivian said and he nod his head.
“Everything I did, I did it for us. I don’t want to lose you, Vivian. I love you very much. I don’t want him to take you away from me.” He said and I could see tears dropping from his eyes. Is he serious right now?
“And that’s why you have to involve my daughter in your crazy love obsession?! Officers, please come in.” Mr. Stanley said and the police walked in.
“Mr. Julius McKings, you’re un-der arrest for attempted murder. I’ll advise you to comply with us and not say anything cause whatsoever you say will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to hire a lawyer and if you can’t the government can provide one for you.” One of the policemen said and they handcuffed him.

Chapter 33- FINAL

EVA POV ?
It’s been a month since the incident that occurred in our family and I have been avoiding both ma’am Vivian and Mr. Stanley even though we all live in the same house, Steve told me that I’ll have to talk to them one day but then allow me to avoid them.
I was in the living room operating my phone when I heard an abrupt knock on the door, I wondered who will be knocking at the door at this early hour of the morning and I know it was not going to be Steve cause he has gone back to the hotel.
I opened the door and there was nobody there, who the hell knock on my door and just disappear like a ghost?!. As I was about to shut the door my eyes caught an envelope lying on the ground and I saw my name written boldly on it after picking it up so I know it was for me.
“Eva.”
I turned swiftly when I heard Ma’am Vivian call my name.
“I think we nee-d to talk.” She began and I agreed with her, we do nee-d to talk and I think this is the time I’ve been waiting for, there’s no nee-d to hide anymore.
“Yeah. Firstly, I want to apologize for putting your life and that of Mr. Stan…, I mean Dad in trouble…” I said as I sat down on the couch and she sat with me.
“What you did was un-derstandable and am not going to judge you for that. But I nee-d to tell you the real reason why you didn’t grow up with us, with me.” She said. This is the day that everything will be cleared.
Now, I’ll know the reason why they abandoned me and left me to live a fake life. Now I’ll know why they decide to come back.
“I fell in love with someone, a person I know I’ll never have even though he as-sured me that I was the one he’ll end up with.”
I listened with keen interest as she told me how I was conceived without Mr. Stanley knowing and how he left her alone and went to Egypt which she just learned that it was Madam Esther who tricked him then.
“She kidnapped me and locked me up in a room but luckily for me, I was able to escape and as I was trying to look for shelter I went into labor and that was how I had you all by myself.” She has already started crying. I feel sorry for her cause I can’t imagine what she must have gone throu-ghgiving birth on the street and then waking up without her child by her side. It’s very devasting.
“I was so sure it was Madam Esther but what evidence do I have? She kept denying it. But I never for once stopped searching for you, my child!” She said and even though I wanted to cry I knew one of us has to be strong and at this moment, the strong one should be me. I didn’t know when I pull her into an emBr@ce.
“I am here now. Mom.” I said on her ne-ck and she ti-ghtened the hu-g.
I think the bond between us has been fixed even with Mr. Stanley who took it upon himself to apologize to me although I was the one who wronged him. I put his life in danger and almost had him killed but he still felt everything was his fault
What do you think? I didn’t hesitate to forgive him and he promised to be the best Dad there is to have.
I went to my room and took my phone after dropping the envelope in my bag, I don’t know why but I do not feel like knowing what was inside the envelope because the excitement I feel within is beyond this world.
I logged into Facebook and sit on the bed resting my back on the wall as I go throu-ghthe NEWSFEED then I saw a post from a popular group that says MENTION YOUR CRUSH. I smile and input the name that’s ringing in my head, the name I usually put. I left that page and continue checking other stories when I felt like checking my notifications and someone reacted to my comment on the post so I went to view it and the name I saw almost made me scream.
I didn’t realize I typed RYAN, I thought it was STEVE cause that has been the name I usually typed when I saw posts like that and he’ll come teasing me and we’ll laugh over it but how did I type RYAN without knowing?
What does this mean?
I quickly deleted the comment, switch off my data and drop the phone beside me on the bed as I held my head with both hands.
I was trying to calm my nerve but my heart was just beating fast and the ringing of my phone almost made me jump off the bed and on seeing who was calling I decided not to pick up.
Oh no, oh no!!!
I begged whoever that is calling to just stop. The ringing stopped and started again. I picked seeing that it was Steve calling.
“Are you ignoring my calls?” He asked the second he heard me sigh from the phone.
“I…”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah.” I cleared my throat.
“Why did you call?”
“Ain’t you tired of staying indoors all day? Let’s hang out!” He said sounding excited about something.
“Steve, I…”
“I’ll text you the address. Bye.” And he ended the call. I roll my eyes and went into my duvet. I don’t even want to think about it.

TEXAS PRISON
“Julius McKings, you have a visitor!” A warder said opening the prison door and he walked throu-ghit.
“Who? Is it my wife?” He asked excitedly walking with the warder.
“He said he’s your brother.” He said and Julius paused as his eyes and that of Stanley met.
****
“What do you want?” Julius asked Stanley. They’re sitting facing each other.
“Why did you do it? Why did you want to kill me?” Stanley asked and Julius scoffed.
“Isn’t it obvious?! I want Vivian all to myself and I can’t let you have her!” He yelled and Stanley nods his head sideways.
“She’s your wife, why will you think anyone will take her away?”
“Drop the act Stanley, we both know that the main reason why you’re here is to confirm if the annulment pushed throu-gh. Well am sorry to disappoint you but we’re not pushing throu-ghwith it.” He said and Stanley smiled.
“Do you even know the reason why Mom allowed you to marry Vivian? Has it ever crossed your mind why you were allowed to marry the woman who is the mother of my daughter?” Maybe it’s time to let him know the whole story.
“What are you talking about?”
Stanley then told him that his mother allowed him to marry Vivian so that she can put an eye on her and control her movement and the information she get.
“That’s not true. You’re only telling me this because you’re jealous of the relationship between me and your mother!” Stanley chuckled and stood up.
“Believe whatever you want to believe,” Stanley said and walk out of the prison.
When he got home, he met Vivian working on the laptop then he asked her why she didn’t push throu-ghwith the annulment process.
“I can’t part ways with Julius. I can’t do that.” She said and he is standing in front of her.
“Why? He intended to hide Eva from you!”
“But I still love him!! I know what he did was wrong and I am glad that he’s paying for his crimes now but I can’t turn a blind eye against the man who helped me rise. I love him, Stanley, I do.”
“What about us? I thought something is going on, I thought you were still in love with me!” Stanley said and she stood up and then walk away from the table in front of her.
“After all these years Stanley do you still think we can work things out?”
“Why not? We used to love each other!”
“Not anymore. I’ve moved on from you a very long time ago and the only taps I have with you is our daughter. I’m sorry but I don’t love you anymore Stanley.” She said took her laptop and walk upstairs.

EVA POV ?
I got to the address Steve sent me and he took me to a coffee shop and then left shortly after saying that he wants to go get our orders. I do have a feeling that something fishy is going on but I could not place my fingers on it until I saw Ryan coming carrying a bouquet and smiling as he’s walking up to me.
What is he up to?
“Do you know what today is?” He asked standing in front of me. I gasp but got disappointed when I realized today isn’t my birthday.
“21st July,” I said looking into his eyes.
“On 21st was the day we met at Spring Valley Club House.” He said making me smile. He did remember, of course, he should after the whole drama of that day.
“It was from that day that I knew that there was something special about you. I don’t know but I’ve always dreamt of seeing your face again.”
“You might not know it Eva but I’ve always liked you even before the ki-ss.”
The ki-ss.
The ki-ss I thought he has forgotten, it was this same ki-ss that ruined everything for us.
“Eva Sinclair, will you be mine forever?” He asked holding my both hands. I was about to say yes when I remembered we share the same parents, I quickly remove my hands from his.
“This is wrong.”
“What are you talking about?”
“We’re siblings Ryan, we shouldn’t be doing this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“That’s why I sent you DNA proof.” I raised my head to see who had just spoken. That face doesn’t look familiar to me at all.
“What DNA proof are you talking about Sandra?”
Sandra? I think I’ve heard that name somewhere.
I quickly drop the bouquet and start searching my bag for the DNA and thank God it’s still there.
“I knew a thing like this would happen that’s why I left her proof that you’re not her brother. I mean common, a lot of secrets are hidden in the Mckings’ family.” I heard her say.
I checked the DNA result and we’re no match. He’s not my brother, after all, he told me that he was adopted by Mom when he was just 3 years old, and he knew this since he was ten.
“Yes Ryan, I’ll be your girlfriend.”
“Wo.. ho!” I heard Steve say and Ryan emBr@ce me.
Ryan and I kept our relationship a secret because we were both afraid of what our parents will say… I mean, Mom can reject our relationship since she sees Ryan as her son also and of course, even society recognizes Ryan as her son so it’s going to be a taboo.
“Hold on, are you sixteen or what?” Steve asked us both when we laid down our complaint. You know Steve being Steve won’t even ask you why you’re doing what you’re doing.
“You don’t get it, it’s…” Ryan was trying to say.
“You’re not related. You love each other so what are you telling me huh? Just take it this way that you, Ryan, was unfortunately raised by Eva’s parents that’s it. I’ll advise you to let the cat out of the bag.”
And that was it, he just left without even hearing our own opinion and we were left to decide our fate.
When we told my parents about it the reaction we got was different from what we were expecting. Mom was in full support of the relationship and her reason was that Ryan is someone she is very sure won’t hurt me in any way and she is glad that he is the one I chose.
I guess Steve is right, after all, nothing really matters.
.

RYAN POV ?
I went to the prison to visit Dad and I told him about me and Eva’s relationship and he was sober, he apologized for all the bad things he had done and he told me that he did all that because he thought Mom was going to leave him for uncle Stanley.
I told him that he doesn’t have to worry about anything since Mom won’t be pushing throu-ghwith the annulment anymore and that she’s coming to visit him soon. I also told him that I can’t wait for him and Grandma to get out of prison and come back home.

THE END!!
