When they reached the store, Eva was glad. However, she refused to shop as this place was very expensive. They were well acquainted with the staff of the store with Mrs. Smith, so they reached out to help her. Rose bought some casual dresses, but not before asking Eva’s opinion about the color and pattern. She doesn’t want Eva to feel out of space. Eva was helping Rosehappily. The staff present in the store were idolizing the way Eva was selecting clothes for Rose. She had an excellent taste in clothes.

When rose was clearing the bill, Eva glimpsed at the amount and her mouth agape

As it was equal to her father’s five-month salary. Eva composed her emotions and left the store with Rose. Near the exit of the mall, Eva spotted a counter of shorts and tees that had a Mickey Mouse image. The clothes were at a sale price; she reached near them and bought a pair of tees and shorts as they were looking cute to her

Rose noticed this and smiled at her choice.

When they reached home, it was already near dinner time. William was sitting in the living room with Steve. They were involved in some discussion when they spotted Rose and Eva, as well as the guards who were behind them with lots of bags in their hands. Steve noticed Eva was holding only one small bag in her hand. It surprised him as he only came across the girls room, who love shopping, even her mom too

Rose settled in the living room, whereas Eva started for her room to freshen up and rose to give some details of her day to her son and husband. After some time, they all got settled for dinner, which was a quiet affair as Rose and Eva were so exhausted with all the shopping that they didn’t have the energyleft for any more discussion or talk at the table. Eva had little food and left for her room in slow steps as she was feeling tired and just wanted to sleep

It was midnight when her stomach grumbled, and she had to stand up. She reached the kitchen, counting her steps. Her eyes were dropping by sleep, but her hunger was not letting her sleep. She searched for some ready-to-eat food again. She found a bowl of custard. She relished it with sleepy eyes and then left the kitchen., as she just wanted to continue her sleep.

When she reached the first floor, Eva dashed into a side table, and her toe finger got hurt. She flinched with pain. Still, Eva unlocked the door and just reached near her bed and lay down on it, covering herself from sheets.

She found the bed a little different, but in her sleepy state, she worried a little.

After some minutes, she felt a hand moving around her stomach, then she felt the hand approach towards her chest the moment it touched her b**bs. She shrieked and jumped out of bed.

Stephen POV

It was night when I landed in LA. To my relief, Richard had to stay in Australia for some more pending shoots. That way I don’t have to bear his nonsense talks on my return flight

The moment I reached home, the only thing that I needed badly was a relaxing shower and a peaceful slumber.

The house was silent as it was already midnight, so I hurriedly reached the room and got into the shower. After finishing the shower and putting on my trousers and getting into the sheets, I love my place, my room, and my bed. No matter in which lavish hotel I used to stay during my trips, the most peaceful sleep I used to get was only in my bed.

I was glad that again; I got successful in cracking the deal. I was eager to meet my parents and share this good news with them., but I have to wait till tomorrow morning. Soon I got into a deep slumber; maybe after half an hour, I heard my door unlocking sound., which made me alert. Then I heard some sound of footsteps that were nearing my bed. My eyes got wide open, and the next moment I felt my bed dipping from the other side.

For a moment I thought it was Steve who was too drunk to even reach his room.

Tomorrow morning I am going to give him a good piece of mind. But the next minute, a sweet strawberry smell reachesmy nostrils. From when he started using strawberry cologne, he always preferred some other brand of perfume.

I am getting confused now, so I checked. Steve was lying under covers from head to toe, just looking like a mummy. It was a little surprising, as Steve never used to sleep like this, as he moved around a lot while sleeping. Whenever they shared a bed, I used to warn him to sleep in one position without disturbing my sleep.

I covered us with one big duvet, so I checked on him. I slowly tried to turn him around while touching his waist but it shocked me when I felt a very soft skin against my hand, and it was smooth like he did… But why the hell will he remove his...

When I moved my hand to his stomach, a doubt clouded my mind to confirm my thought. I moved my hand a little upward, and soon I felt something that I never expected.

It was…. It’s not my brother but some girl. Before I could confront her, she shrieked and jumped out of the bed. I switched on the lights quickly., and I witnessed a fragile girl who was wearing some Mickey Mouse-printed shorts and a top., and who was gawking at me?

“Who the hell are you? And how dare you enter my room?” Stephen started moving towards her while Eva was moving back. Soon her back got hit by the wall. Now Steve kept both his hands on either side of Eva, blocking her way. Which madeEva nervous. She noticed his naked body, his well-built body, and his eyes, which were spitting fire on her. She learned to mask her fear very well, as her dad taught her. So she took some courage and tried to retort back

"That's my question, Mr. Who the hell are you, and what are you doing in my room? Wait, let me call Rose.”

Stephen was getting shocked after shock and wondering why this girl was calling his mom by name. He gritted his teeth in anger and held her jaw in a tight grip

"Really, then please call her and then you will know...“ he left her jaw and signaled her to shout

Eva was trying to recall where she had seen this face, but in nervousness, nothing was striking her mind. Her throat was dry; she made her dry lips wet by caressing her tongue over them. Stephen was observing her actions, and he noticed how she was moving her lips. His eyes became dark.

Eva gulped the lump that formed in her dry throat and started.

“Rose, “but it comes out more like a whisper.

Stephen smirked at her nervous form and then whispers near her ears, “Done, now let me do the honors.'

His hot breath was near her ears, and his impersonal voice ran a wave of shiver in her spine. Her body started trembling in fear for Stephen.
