The moment they reached the island, Stephen reached to help her step down from the yacht. But Eva didn’t accept his help and stepped down from the yacht with difficulty.
Stephen remained focused on her movements, examining her actions. Her behavior quite perplexed him, and he wanted to talk to her about what had happened the previous night.
The moment they reached inside the villa, Eva rushed towards the bedroom with her loping foot and entered the washroom.
Stephen followed her into the bedroom. He could hear the shower sound. He gave her some privacy and will talk about the last night later.
Eva was trying to soothe her pain inside the shower. When she woke up today, it shocked her to see her naked inside the sheets. When she noticed the surroundings—the discarded clothes on the floor, her naked form, and the stunning pain between her legs. Reality hit upon her; whatever happened last night between her and Stephen started playing like a reel in her mind
She still couldn’t believe that she submitted herself to Stephen. Maybe in effect of drinks or the needs of her body, the way she reacted to his touches, her moans, and his grunts shockedher; all started playing in her mind. Usually she can’t recall the events after drinking, but this time the effects of last night lingered.
After a relaxing shower, she changed into a pair of t-shirts and trousers and arrived in the bedroom.
Eva was pleased to see that Stephen was not present in the room. The pain from her sprained foot became troublesome.
The maid entered the room after knocking it, and Eva spotted a stranger with her
"Madam, the doctor is here to check your foot injury. “
Eva gave a nod. The doctor checked on her foot and then wrapped a crepe around her foot and prescribed some medicines. After the doctor left the room, the maid arranged breakfast for Eva in the bedroom only.
Eva was not feeling any appetite for food, but still she had some fruits with a glass of juice.
After some time, the maid removed the dishes from the room. Stephen entered the room, his gaze settled on Eva. He caught sight of the bandage on her foot. Stephen got settled on the same couch, keeping a distance from her
“How are you feeling now?”
Eva didn’t reply to his question. Stephen was getting worried now.
Stephen passed him some tablets. "Take this. It will help you with the pain."
Eva picked up the tablet and immediately took it with a large swig of water. Stephen’s eyes stayed fixed on her face in anticipation of reaction but her face was blank
“Eva. Last night.“
“I don’t want to talk about that. Not now, at least. “ Eva cut his talk in between.
Stephen sighed and started, “Well then, start packing. The maid will help you with it as we are leaving in the afternoon.”
Eva gave a nod at him, and Stephen got up to leave. Eva noticed the bandage on his hand; she knew he hurt himself while saving her from falling but she asked nothing about his injury
It was afternoon time when they started their journey to LA. After entering the jet, Eva took rest in the bedroom on the jet
She didn’t want to face Stephen.
Eva was deeply disappointed in her conduct from the night before. Even though she had been in the relationship for some time, she was still trying to find her footing and make it work for her.
Whereas Stephen was trying to get the reason for Eva’s distant behavior from him
Did she feel any regret about what had occurred the previous evening? Did he force her to have sex with him? Or maybe she thinks I took advantage of her drunken state
Stephen didn’t know when he dozed—maybe the painkiller he had for his injury.
The moment they landed in LA, Steve was waiting at the airport to receive them. The moment he noticed Eva and Stephen step out from the airport., what caught his attention was the injury on Stephen’s hand and Eva, who was limping while walking.
He rushed towards them and pulled Eva in a hug first
“Welcome back, sister-in-law." Eva gave a smile at his excitement
