Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

Chapter 127

7-We Meet Again (Book 2)

I quickly got down and looked for a cab. I needed to leave the place. He knew where my car was parked. I gave the instructions to the cab driver and reached the parking lot. Though it was hardest at the moment to drive right now but I needed to do that.

Once I reached my apartment, I took a sigh of relief. Aniya wasn't home yet. I straight away got to my room and fell on the bed.

And just then I realized, my cheeks were wet. I was crying.

Aniya’s pov:

The man whom I spent the night with was courteous enough to treat me to a lavish breakfast at his place. A day out with friends and a nice evening with a gorgeous man. What more can one ask for?

Humming to myself I entered the apartment and got off my sandals, tossing them carelessly.

It was good that Eve was still sleeping otherwise she would have strangled my neck. I went to my room and changed into something comfortable.

Yesterday I offered Eve to bring her friend to the apartment. We were not allowed to bring random men just for s3x purposes. But this man was someone, Eve couldn't stop talk about.

He seemed to be someone quite special, and I just could not wait to meet this Adonis. Eve deserved happiness.

After a leisurely bath, I came to the living room and then realized that it was afternoon and Eve never slept this late. On one hand, I was happy that this Adonis made her so tired that she needed to make it up by sleeping extra hours.

Frowning to myself, I knocked her door lightly and opened it. The room was shrouded with darkness with the curtains still untouched.

Why was she still sleeping? Just like Ashley, she hated sleeping late.

As I tiptoed closer to her bed, I could see that she was still sound asleep, her peaceful expression causing me to hesitate before waking her.

But something felt off. The air in the room was heavy, almost suffocating. I tried to brush it off and reached out to shake her gently, but she didn't stir. Gosh.

Her skin was burning in fever.

My heart racing, I shook her more urgently, calling out her name. Still, no response. Panic set in as I ducked for my phone to dial for help, my hand shaking so badly that I fumbled with the buttons. Should I call for emergency help or call Ashley?

In panic mode, I went back to her room. She was still lying there.

Ashley!

I needed to call her first.

Suddenly, Eve gasped and sat upright, her eyes wide and unseeing. I grabbed her by the shoulders, trying to steady her as she looked around frantically, her breathing erratic.

"What happened?" I asked, my voice trembling. But Eve just stared at me, her eyes blank and uncomprehending.

They were red. Either due to excessive crying or staying awake for longer hours.

As Eve looked at me with fear and confusion, I couldn't help but wonder what was really going on inside that pretty head. She seemed to be hiding something, and the more I thought about it, the more certain I became that it had to do with the mysterious Adonis she had mentioned earlier.

"Eve," I called her gently, "Are you alright? Is there something you're not telling me? Something about this Adonis guy?"

Eve’s eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, she seemed caught off guard. But then she shook her head, her gaze dropping to her lap.
