Free The Birth Of Eve by E. S Hoy

you to stay away but you just wouldn’t listen would you
bitch? I am carrying his child and I will be his wife, you are a distraction
but now you are over” the girl slapped Eve right across the face. The lift
doors opened and Eve took the opportunity to escape; sobbing as the doors
closed to behind her. She knew he was too good to be true; thank God she hadn’t
let him too close. What was he playing at? Eve couldn’t equate tender sweet Nathan
with the one who would pay a girl to destroy a baby.
    Inside her hotel room the tears flowed unhindered, she was
furious and felt so foolish, she couldn’t possibly work with him now. Was that
what this was? Christopher had asked him to get close to her just so he could
increase her profile. That is what Sally had said but she hadn’t absorbed the
impact of that. Snatching her phone she sent a nasty text to Nathan basically
telling him to do one then sank to the floor an emotional wreck.
    Her phone rang half an hour later, expecting it to be Nathan
grovelling she was about to silence it but luckily in time saw that it was
Christopher Novak. Pull yourself together Eve; you may be able to salvage your
career if you try. Eve answered trying to steady her voice. “Hello”
    “Eve I believe you met a young woman tonight at the hotel”
Eve was silent, how did he know
    “Eve I need to tell you about Sasha before you jump to the
wrong conclusions” Eve interrupted
    “Christopher I appreciate your call but if you have been
asked by Nathan to try and repair the damage I think you are wasting your
time.” He was quick to reply
    “Nathan hasn’t spoken to me tonight; a receptionist
witnessed the altercation and reported it to me the moment I got back. Sasha is
a tribulation we are all enduring; she was an exotic dancer who had a plan to
change her life. She seduced Nathan one night when he was on a drinking spree,
he fell for her, or so he thought. She however had her own agenda. Within a
month of them being together she was pregnant, despite her professing to be
safe and taking the necessary precautions.” Eve could tell he didn’t feel
comfortable with this chat!
    “She hoped for a proposal but once he realised she had
tricked him he ended their relationship. Nathan always had the intention of
supporting his child. Sasha threatened to abort the baby unless he paid her
money, so he paid her off to keep the child. Now she is threatening to give it
up for adoption and is exhorting more cash that way. Make no mistake, Nathan
was an idiot but he has been dealing with an imbalanced woman. He intends to
get custody of the baby as she doesn’t want it, unless he marries her of
course.” Eve felt awful at the conclusions she had jumped to; but still this
was a huge secret to keep from her, then again she was keeping a large one
herself. She needed to see him and apologise, and hope he would forgive her, it
was time for honesty. Christopher bid her goodnight and Eve straightened out
her dress.
    Eve practically ran barefoot to Nathan’s room knocking on
the door desperate to see his face. When he pulled it open she threw herself
into his arms sobbing. Nathan swept her off her feet in one move and carried
her to the bedroom. Sitting on the edge he waited for her to calm down;
    “Eve honey it is okay now; don’t cry, look at me please” Eve
wiped her tears and looked at him for the first time, he sucked in a breath
when he saw her red cheek, Eve had completely forgotten about that.
    “Did she hit you?” Eve nodded as he stroked her face “Jesus
Eve I am so sorry, she is a total head case, I totally understand why you were
so angry. I should have told you all about her a long time ago, she is trouble
I am so sorry” Eve shook her head
    “I am sorry too, I have my own demons and I shouldn’t expect
you to open up if I don’t” Eve took a deep breath “You asked me about the man I
saw earlier?” He was suddenly very attentive
    “He is called Rory, when I was in the care home he
