42 GardenIT

The event was decorated with the theme of a beautiful holographic garden with colorful flowers and trees and the big name of GardenIT right in the middle. I would be amazed if not for those two figures surrounded by everyone, receiving greetings and smiling gleefully.

Then the music announced the start of the speech. The man in his amazing white tuxedo went up to the platform and his face was shown on every screen. What a narcissistic man, but not for long.

The screen started showing his amazing software, I had to say it was fascinating, but I knew for sure that it wasn't his entire idea. Someone was helping him to achieve such software integrated with the most advanced technology of the market, competing directly with my company. He knew I would be interested but…

What a dumbass, he thought that will be enough to catch my attention? He is not worthy.

My skillful fingers crashed their security system and the lights of the venue turned off. The game was on and the beginning of their doom was nearer.

SilverLight: Start...

WhiteBear: Right away, Leader.

A group of people in black suits and glasses entered the hotel without being noticed. Some of them closed the doors tightly while the crowd was screaming in confusion. My team started installing some devices on every corner of the venue and when they finished I made the lights appear again.

The idiot in the platform smiled while looking directly at the closest camera.

"I know you are there… but… look at this darling, look around, this is all for you. I will wait for you to come to me willingly, if not, I don't mind forcing you."

I knew he was talking to me, that was his personality, a total showoff. I knew him so well that it was so obvious what he was trying to achieve. However, the game was about to begin, and I won't lose this time.

Then a few explosions covered the entire place with some gas and the crowd went into a panic.

WhiteBear: We have her, Leader.

SilverLight: Excellent, start the interrogation.

The news the following day would talk about the failure of his launching party and the robbery of a major server containing important clients' data from a hacker attack.

The man looked at the camera again, still smiling and laughing. Laugh all you want asshole, this is just a little part of the plan, the funny thing will come later, I hope you still have the mind to laugh then.

"Eve, are you inside?"

"Yes, I will go out in a minute."

The next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache and some marks on my body. Liam had been hugging me so hard to sleep every night that it became difficult to even breathe, but I didn't have the heart to refuse him. I knew very well he was still scared.

I had to shove him to the side when I felt him deep asleep. He looked so tired, and I knew he hadn't slept for the past few days as he was concerned about me and not finding me the next moment. I was so worried about his panic attacks.

The day I returned I wanted to go and see my cute Mila so much as I was told that she had been crying so much but thanks to Grandpa and Maya that stood by her side, she became calmer. I am so fortunate for having those two. However, my cute princess became more attached to me like her dear father.

"Eve, open the door."

I heard him asking in a low voice from outside the shower. I know what he wants, and now I don't have the heart to deny him.

I opened the door wrapped in my towel and I stood there while looking at his face. He lowered his face and took my lips so hard that I tasted some blood dripping on my tongue.

"Liam… ah!"

He lifted me up and entered me quickly and roughly. We haven't done this for a long time as we were both tired, and I was not prepared, but now I desired it as much as him.

I hugged tightly to my body and didn't let go until he filled me entirely.

"I love you, Eve, please don't leave me…"

He kept whispering while keeping me in his arms. I only nodded and hugged him back.

We continued in the shower for a bit longer, that the time for breakfast had already passed. When we came down, he gave me a long kiss before going to his office. Meanwhile, Maya was already playing with little princess Mila and Vin was occupied with his computer in the living room.

All seemed peaceful and calm, but Vin gave me a quick look before returning to his computer. I knew that look, he didn't want to alarm Maya.

"Vin, let's go to the study to look at the new project plan."

"Darling, we were going for a walk in the park." My dear Maya was making a big effort on staying by my side, leaving temporarily her career in the fashion stage to stay for a few days with me and Mila.

"I know, dear, just give us a couple of minutes to see some reports."

"Sighs… alright, but be fast of Her Highness Mila will punish you."

I closed the doors tightly.

"What is it?"

"Ethan Davis… he is announcing a partnership with several companies. Take a look at the list."

He sent me the message on my phone and my eyes narrowed into one special name.

"…"

"Master?"

I so wanted to explode and kill that man right now.
