Chapter 73 - Eva’s Anger

Eva POV:

The next morning, I attended the hearing. Lawyers started their argument. Jason and I stood in the witness box.

"Mr Jason, can you explain your problem to the Honourable Judge?" Jason's lawyer asked.

"Yes! I married Eva Raymond before a year. We are a happy couple for one year. After that, on some business work, I went abroad for six months. When I returned to India, my wife refused to return to me and is staying with her friend," he said.

He is an expert in lying. Stupid!

"Your honour, my client wants his wife back. In society, many husbands doubt their wives and send out. He did not do so. Though she stayed away from him for six months, still he loves his wife. Kindly send his wife to him," his lawyer said.

"Mrs Jason, you applied for divorce. But before that, court orders you both to stay together for six months. If you can't resolve your differences even after that, the court will issue divorce to you," the judge said ordering me to go to him.

We came out, and I am about to go in my car with Rio, but Jason held my hand and took me to his car.

"Get in, baby. You are mine, and court too confirmed it," he said.

"I..."

"I said to get in," he said in a solemn tone.

"Shout a bit louder and then judge will understand how rude you are and sanctions divorce so soon," I said to him.

He left my hand.

"Ok, I won't shout at you. Don't talk about divorce. Come let's go to our home" he said as softly as possible.

"I will come to your home by evening. Now you can go."

"But why?" He asked.

His face is showing disappointment. He pouted. He is so cute like that. My sweet, sweet husband.

"I need to bring my luggage."

"No need, just tell me what all you need and I will bring everything for you," he said.

I sat in his car and went home. The maid came to give earth to me.

"I don't like all this. Only for six months, I will stay here. So, it's not necessary," I said rudely and went to the room.

Jason came to the room.

"I didn't want you to stay here in the same room with me," I said.

"I will shift the room by evening," Jason said.

"Eva, if you want anything call me. Do you want lunch to be sent to your room or will you come to the dining hall?"

"I can't have food seeing few people. I will have it here itself," I said.

"As you wish, baby," he said.

"I hate the word baby. If it's you who is calling me by that name, I hate it more. I have a name, call me by that name," I said seriously.

He left the room without replying to me. I closed the door and checked the whole place. Everything was the same as before. He didn't change any of my arrangements. I saw his photo there on the table. I took it into my hands and lay on the bed hugging his picture.

I kissed his photo. I felt happy as I came to my home again. I never thought to leave this house, but he forced me to do so. However, now I am at my home. I am with my Jason.

Jason POV:

Eva is back to our home. But when will she be back to my life? The lawyer said that within six months if I can't convince her, the judge may sanction divorce to us.

Whatever I do, she assumes it negatively. I didn't gift that ring to her to butter her. Last year, she asked that ring, but I refused to tease her. She calmly took the ring which I had selected for her. I told her to sit in the car and went back into a jewellery shop to buy that ring and surprise her. But unfortunately, it was already sold to someone. I searched many shops for that ring. When I went to Germany, I thought to buy something for my Eva and Ryan while returning. There I found that ring and bought it for her. But she refused to accept the gift. As I had no option, I blackmailed her and forced her to wear the ring. Now she is more angry with me. I had no intention of suffering Rio or his family because, irrespective of Rio's feelings, one thing I know well is, Eva loves only me. So I am not insecure anymore. But yes, I am jealous when she speaks with him usually and ignores me or speaks rudely to me.

I felt happy seeing her happiness when she met her college mates. She was so happy talking to them. But the thing that had hurt me and made me angry was, she ignored me completely. She didn't look at me at least once. But after some time, she looked at me and saw me in anger; she stopped shaking hand with her friends who were male. Only then I understood that she mistook my rage thinking that I was angry at her, for shaking hand to her opposite gender friends. But, long back I left that over possessive attitude.

But how can I make her understand me? I closed my eyes.

I want my Eva to love me. I want her love, care and naughtiness back. I won't hurt her again. I want to treat her as my princess forever. I made many mistakes, but it shouldn't cost me to lose her love forever.

I heard Eva shouting from the room. I went to her. By the time, I went there she threw plate which had lunch brought to her. It fell on me making my white blazer stained. I looked at her. I asked the maid to go.

I went to her.

"I didn't think to throw it on you," she said looking at my blazer.

"Why did you throw the food? Don't you like that?"

"I didn't like it," she said slowly.

She tried hard to show me her fake self. I cupped her face.

"What do you want to have Eva?"

"Noodles!"

"Ok. I will ask the maid to prepare it for you," I said and left the room.

"Why can't you prepare it for me?"

"What?"

"I want you to prepare it for me."

"Now you please have food prepared by the maid. I will prepare dinner for you. I have one urgent meeting, and I am leaving for office now," I said.

She didn't reply to me, and I went to my office ordering cook to prepare food for her. I am in a meeting, and I got a call from my home. I received the call.

"Sir, Eva madam refused to have food. She is breaking everything in the room from the moment you left to office. We don't understand how to stop her," the maid said.

What the hell? Why is Eva behaving like this? Does she lose her sense?

"Ask Eva to talk to me," I said, and they gave my call to her.

"Eva, why are you behaving like this? Have your food first," I asked.

"Because you just brought me here to show your authority but not with love. I hate you. I am leaving. Don't show your fake concern on me."

"Are you..." I controlled myself.

"See you are scolding me. It proves that you didn't love me. Rio never scolds me," Eva said.

Why will he scold you? He doesn't know that you are a devil, baby. I know very well that you will behave like this only with me.

"What do you want now Eva, to have food?"

"I want you to prepare food for me."

"I am in a meeting, Eva!" I said as soft as possible.

"Yes, I know. You don't love me."

"Eva, it's not that.........."

She disconnected the call. I asked Maya to continue the meeting. I went home. I prepared what she asked for and took it to her. I knocked on the door.

"I said that I don't want anything. Just don't disturb me," Eva shouted from the room.

"Eva, open the door," I said.

She opened the door. I went inside and made her sit on the bed. I started feeding her the food. Thank God finally she is having her lunch without saying anything. Her phone rang. She received the call.

"Hi! Wow! That's a great plan. I am coming. Within five minutes, I will start," Eva said and disconnected the call.

"Rio invited me for lunch at his home. I am leaving," Eva said.

"You are not going, Eva. Have this food first, and we will go somewhere to spend time together," I said holding her hand.

"I am going. I want to spend time with Rio's family. Leave me!" she said.

"Then why did you call me from an important meeting and asked me to prepare food for you?" I yelled at her.

She looked at me for some time and freed her hand from my hold. She gave a blank cheque to me.

"Take this cheque and write the money that you lost because of coming from that meeting. Include the charges of your service too," Eva said.

I tore the cheque she gave.

"Are you paying me for the loss and food I prepared for you? Do you think of me as your servant?" I shouted at her as I can't control anymore.

I am not worried about the meeting or the loss because I love Eva so much. How could she pay for that? I can't say I am angry, but her words hurt me a lot.

"When you paid to me for spending a night with you, Why couldn't I pay now for your service, Jason? After all, I didn't insult you more than you did to me," she said.

I found tears in her eyes and in my eyes too. It's me who spoiled everything. I sat on the bed without saying anything. She took her handbag and left. I closed my eyes and finally released the tears which I am holding for a long time. I understood the pain caused to her heart through my words. But how can I heal her? How can I rectify my mistake? Words spoken once, cannot be taken back. How can I make her forget my words? How can I prove to her that I love her so much?
