EVA'S PLAN

Did you sleep well, Auntie?" Abigail innocently looked at Eva, who was sitting in front of her. They were waiting for Mike to come and join them for breakfast.

Staring at Abigail, Eva's eyes were fixed on her. She did remember what happened last night. It keeps repeating in her brain and she doesn't know why.

"Darling, Sweetheart, Good morning." Eva's glance went unto Mike, the same with Abigail.

Mike was wearing his usual smile, happy to see the two important people in his life. Abigail quickly stood up and went in Mike's direction, giggling happily.

"Daddy, you promised that we will go to the mall later," Pouting her lips, Abigail clung to her daddy's shirt, slightly pulling the man down.

"Yes, sweetheart, we will." Mike smiled as he glanced over Eva's direction. "Darling, do you want to come with us?" He asked.

"No," Eva irritatedly answered. She was pissed off to the core. She wanted to have this luxury bag that she saw online, but Mike won't let her buy it. It's not like it's that expensive! Mike has a lot of money anyways.

Sighing deeply, Mike looked at Eva. It seems like his wife is still in a bad mood. He does understand it. His wife is pregnant, mood swings are part of it.

"Auntie, do you want apple juice?" Innocently going back to the chair, Abigail asked.

Eva's mouth watered after hearing what Abigail had said. Finally, Abigail now has a use in this house. She thought that kid is just useless. She didn't know that Abigail can make a good apple juice— so far, the best she had tasted.

Looking at Jasmine, the maid took the juice out of the fridge. She was glad that Abigail was finally doing these things. Working for them for 10 years, she was happy that after a long time Eva and Abigail had gotten closer.

Their morning quickly went by. It was lunchtime when Mike decided to go to the Mall. Seeing her daughter's smiling face was already enough to make him happy.

They were inside a cinema, watching an animated show. His daughter loves watching these kinds of shows. Earlier they went to a bookstore. He bought a lot of fairytale books that Abigail would surely love.

A trait that his dead wife had too.

Adeline died 5 years later after giving birth. Abigail was 5-year-old when that happened. It was a car crash. They didn't know what happened, but it is said that there was a problem.

He did regret it. He could have shared a lot of unforgettable memories with Abigail, but he chose his work over his daughter. That's why when he fell in love with Eva, he did promise that he'd try to change and would make time for his family.

"Daddy, I want to eat buttered popcorn." Abigail glanced over Mike.

Mike chuckled, "It's still your favorite, huh?" he said.

Abigail shyly placed her hands over her face. "Of course, Daddy!"

Smiling widely, Mike placed some popcorn inside Abigail's mouth. They were both enjoying their father-daughter bonding. On the other hand, Eva was on a phone call.

"I told you, the money that you were asking for is too large!" Eva angrily disputed at the person she was talking to, on the phone.

"The heck Eva! I'm your brother and you're treating me like this? Don't you dare forget how I helped you in cleaning all the mess that you have done?"

"Are you threatening me?" Eva unbelievably answered his brother. She was shocked that her brother will do these things.

"Of course not. I'm just reminding you about how I helped you. And it's not like what I'm asking is too large. Just give me two million and I won't call you again." The person on the phone answered.

"Erick, I gave you 5 million last year. And a hundred thousand last month. Don't tell me it's already gone!" Eva shouted furiously, clenching her fist firmly.

"Tsk, don't be a nosy sister! Don't worry once I win in that gambling competition, I will give you back that money."

"When will you stop that? You always lose anyway, so why bother playing it?" Rolling her eyes, she couldn't believe her brother. As if he once won any contest he's been part of.

"Cut your bullshit. You sounded like Roena, can't both of you just let me live? What? Will you give or not? Don't waste my time."

Sighing deeply, Eva tried her best to be patient. "I will find a way,"

Erick laughed, "That's my sister. I'll wait until next week."

Eva tiredly sat on the bed, touching her head to find support. Her brother is really a pain in the ass since the past. But what can she do? He's the only person that stayed with her.

He's the only person who helped her as well, in killing Adeline, Abigail's mother. If Erick didn't help her that time, then she wouldn't be here— in this house.

Looking anxiously, 2 million is not that small. If she will be going to take out that much money in the bank, Mike would know for sure. Although his husband was kind, she was sure that the man is no dumb.

Thinking deeply, she smirked. Adeline left some jewelry. If she is not mistaken, those jewels are hidden inside Abigail's room. Smiling sweetly, it seems like her plan needs to work on faster. The kid needs to die immediately. And when that happens, those pieces of jewelry will be in her hands.

Quickly taking her phone, he dialed his brother's number.

"Eva, what a surprise. Do you already have the money that I was asking?" Erick greeted her with excitement in his voice.

"I know a way. If you're going to follow what I would say, then the money that you will have will be larger than 2 million." Smiling, Eva answered.

Finally, her problems will end. And the bonus thing is that both of them would benefit from her plans.
