At last I am able to understand why Mr. Apathetic came here with me. He had planned this before hand only. He is trying to murder me, like seriously.

I think this is the perfect time to write a going-to-be murdered note, because I don't know if I will be able to survive for more than 2 minutes if not less.

"I think I am gonna be brutally murdered, please help me." I muttered to myself.

"Shut up and follow me." Mr. Apathetic's shouting made me shiver.

This is the first thing he has said to me since last night, the night when I visited my mother's grave for the first time, with Ace beside. But this is not Ace with me right now - it's Mr. Apathetic.

"But you are going to kill me." I said in a low voice as I followed him to god knows where. I have been following him since the last five minutes, but this corridor isn't ready to end. Thank god, it is not dark else it would have been pretty obvious that he is taking me to kill me.

"Hell I am." He said maliciously.

"But I didn't do anything." I said meekly.

"Yeah nothing, except for ruining my fucking life." He said.

"Well do you want to fuck life? Are you sure it has a vagina? I mean you are straight right? Then I think you need to ask life if it has a -" I was cut short by a hand pinning me to the nearest wall.

Shit.

"Can you keep your mouth shut for a little while? I am fed up with your idiotic talks. I swear that if you speak anything for the next one hour, I am literally going to strangle you to death." He said as he looked straight into my eyes while one of his hand held both of my hands behind my back. Well, his other hand was busy pointing a threatening finger at me.

I was suddenly feeling hot, not the physical but the heat hot.

His proximity affects me so much that I can't even explain. I don't even know why the hell it happens. It's not like he makes me uncomfortable(mostly) but he definitely makes me tie my tongue up like hell. I tried maintaining my normal breathing but of course my respiratory system decided to work against me which is ironic since it's my body and it should listen to me.

I nodded my head, understanding his threaten as he left me and started walking again like nothing happened.

He really needs a doctor, or to be more specific - a psychiatrist.

I sighed and breathed finally and after composing myself, I started following him. First he was trying to murder me by showing me such a beautiful hotel in which we are. Now he is trying to murder me by strangling me.

Is he the Jennifer Blake/Julia Baccari/Darach of my life who is going to kill me by slashing my throat or something?

Maybe.

I shook my head as I tried to clear my head of the idiotic thoughts. I need to calm down, I am just thinking too much due to my recent visit to Virginia, my worst nightmare.

------------

The room was as beautiful as anything could ever be. It was huge and painted in white which gave a sense of peace and silence - and I loved it. The bed was as soft as anybody could ever imagine which is why I jumped on it as soon as I set my foot in the room. Ace was sitting across the room, on the recliner doing something in his laptop. He had told me that he had a meeting at 2 in the afternoon and that it would over by 4. He also told me that 'we' are going to a beach party in the evening so I should be ready by 6pm.

Now, as I have eaten and I am full, I am thinking about the upcoming evening. I can't help being excited for it. But mind you that Ace looks as brooding as ever, because apparently he isn't very keen to spend a whole evening with me but I am assuming that this all is planned by Jennifer hence making it impossible for him to do anything about it.

Conclusion: Ace and Eva are going to spend a whole evening with each other.

Definitely alarming.

My mind then wandered to what I would ask him today, since I have an opportunity to ask something to him without being glared to death.

Why did he marry me?

Why is he hell bent on ruining my life?

Why is he such an idiot?

Why does he hate me so much?

Why does he hate John so much?

Why is John's company so important to him?

What all does he know about Aaron?

What is his side of story for his relationship with Carinae? (The bitch who was all over him in the reception party.)

Why does he hate Nicholas Albrecht/Nick so much?

Why did he agree for this honeymoon?

Why is being a little civil to me since the two day?

Why is he always in his laptop?

Why is he-

Uggh, stop Eva.

I don't think that he would ever answer all the questions that I have about him.

I drifted my thoughts to what I was going to wear today evening. I have around 6 hours to get ready. I should go out and explore the place a little bit, I am not going to wait for Mr. Apathetic to complete his meetings so that I could have fun. I have eaten enough to last for a few hours, so I got up to get ready for going.

I took my white off shoulder ruffle top and floral blue tassel shorts to change in the bathroom, leaving my luggage bag open on the table. Yeah, I am messy.

I quickly went into the bathroom and got out of my previous clothes while putting on the new ones. Then when I bent down to pick up my removed clothes from the floor, a 'rip' sound made me drop my previous clothes in the water filled tub beside and I instantly stood upright, but it was too late. The top had tore from the middle part.

"Oh god. When did I get so fat?" I asked myself.

I looked at my back in the mirror and there was no way that I could wear this. My other clothes were also drenched in water. Having no other option I went towards the bathroom door and opened it wide enough so that I could peek out. Ace was still there, working on his laptop. Should I walk into the room half naked ?

Bad Idea. So I did the only thing I could do.

"Ace." I called out, closing the bathroom door as I leaned against the door, still inside the bathroom.

"What ?" He asked a moment later. I could imagine his frown even though I couldn't see his face.

"Ummm canyoupleasepassmyclothesasihavetornmyoldones." I said hastily.

"For fuck sake, speak a language which is literally understandable." He growled at me.

"Can you pass on my clothes from the bag as I am having a situation here?" I asked.

"Situation." He muttered but nevertheless went to get my clothes as I could hear his footsteps moving towards the table.

"which one?" He asked.

"Anything good your hand comes upon, I need to go out - so something nice please." I said.

I could hear some shuffling and I was sure that he was going over everything present in my bag. "You really have a very bad sense of fashion." He said after a moment or two.

"Oh really? I think it is better than yours." I lied because he had a lot better fashion sense than me. But hey! A girl gets offended when someone questions her fashion sense.

"Whatever helps you sleep tonight. " He said and I could swear that he had a smug smirk on his face even though I couldn't see him.

"Will you concentrate on giving me some clothes?" I yelled annoyed.

"Well, I can't help it. Everything that you own is boring and definitely not nice. Which one should I give?" He said.

Boring? What the heck?

"Just grab the first thing that comes in your hand and give it to me." I said angrily.

I heard some shuffling and then he said "Are you sure about that?"

"Hell yeah." I said.

I then heard his footstep as he came towards the door and I opened the door a little to take whatever he had got. I took it from his hands and closed the door shut making sure that he doesn't see my torn top.

I looked at my hands and froze in embarrassment/ annoyance/ anger.

"You gave me my damn bra? I am going to kill you Ace Estevan Parker!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

A loud and deep chuckle echoed in the suite which sounded so carefree for the first time and I swear if I wasn't angry at him, I would have complimented him.

"Have fun Eva. I am going out and I would be back by half an hour. If you want me to drop you on my way to my meeting then make sure that you are not in those when I come back." Ace's amused voice came to me and after a while a heard the door of the suite close.

I got out of the bathroom and looked around the room to find no trace of Ace. I then kept my hands on my waist as I stood in the middle of the room, half naked.

"I am not going to let this go Mr. Apathetic. I am boring? I'll show you how boring I am, today evening. Just wait and then watch. " I said decisively.

I am coming, Bahamas!

---------------------------------------

"I really think this is a bad idea." I told myself.

"But you have to prove yourself, Eva." I reminded myself.

"Isn't this too much?" I asked myself.

"Yeah, it is. But it's necessary." I answered myself.

I have been doing this since the last twenty one minutes. The red lace bralette and black shorts were making me feel self-conscious. The only thing I liked was the black heel boots I was wearing. I was not looking bad I guess but I was not sure if I was looking good also. It is a beach party so I guess this works, well according to Jess it does(I face timed Jess an hour ago when I brought this outfit from the shop.) She said that it was perfect. But nevertheless I was still feeling really very nervous and unsure. But I also tried to remind myself that this is to prove that I do not have a bad sense of fashion.

"you really make me do the worst things, Ace." I muttered under my breath.

A message 'pinged' in my phone and I scurried towards my phone to check it. As I had guessed, it was from Ace.

'Come down. Waiting in my Audi.'

"I totally forgot how much of a gentleman he is." I muttered to myself, and taking a last look at myself in the mirror - I went down. The stares that I got weren't something I was used to earlier, but now I was kind of getting accustomed to it. I ignored them and continued on my way to the stunning Audi waiting for me outside the entrance of the hotel. Even before I reached it, a man came and opened the car gate for me. And there he was, sitting in the backseat looking damn hot in the blue shirt(which had three top buttons opened so..yeah) and the white bottoms. I don't know if guys wear that to a beach party but he looked perfect, like always.

I averted my eyes from Ace and thanked the man who opened the car gate for me as I sat inside the stunning car. I could feel Ace's intense stare on me and so I did the only thing an insane person would -

"Hey!" I said breathless turning to him. His eyes were still scanning me up and down. Somewhere along the line, I noticed his eyes turn...dark? He averted his eyes hearing my voice and looked straight in my eyes.

Is he not going to compliment me?

"We met just a few hours ago when I dropped you at the shop...so why that 'hey'?" He asked monotonously, back with his blank face.

I don't think so.

"Fine. Don't say hey." I said annoyed once again as the car started.

-----------------------

This place is crazy. The beach side is full of people dancing and roaming. There were loads and loads of people and none of them looked like they gave a shit about anything, they looked so carefree. It was noisy because of the dj and all but the whole aura of the place was crazy yet mesmerizing.

Some people were rubbing upon each other, some were laughing and enjoying like it was the best day of their life. The songs were playing too loud for my liking but it didn't seem like a noise in this type of place, it was like a beat on which everyone was swaying.

"Did I tell you it's a beach party?" Ace asked raising his eyebrow as we walked towards the entrance of the beach. damn hot.

You need to stop Eva.

"Yeah you did. Why?" I asked confused.

"Well then you are officially mad, else who wears heels to a beach? You are gonna sink in the sand." He said.

Shit. I didn't think of that.

"I won't fal-" But the second I set my feet on the sand, I slipped/sunk and was about to fall but the strong arms went around my waist preventing me from falling.

"You need to stop being so cliché." I groaned.

"Oh is that so? Should I let you fall?" He asked amusingly.

I steadied myself and took out my boots, keeping them in my hands while we moved towards the crowd of people. How the hell did Jennifer plan this?

As soon as we were in the middle of the crowd, which was after a few seconds only, I couldn't help but smile. It was a night and place where we could be free. No fears, no worries, no pasts-nothing but serenity.

This is going to be a hell of a night.

"Come, let's have something to drink." I said motioning towards the bar to Ace.

"no, of course not." He shook his head.

"Oh come-on! Just one night!" I gave him the most adorable puppy eyes I could manage.

"besides I need someone I know to stop me from drinking too much." I pushed him.

His wandered around the crowd and then he ran his fingers through his hair but said "Fine." I gave him a big smile as I dragged him towards the drinks. I didn't know what all was there so I randomly took one glass of shot and gave one to Ace. He grimaced looking at the glass and shook his head.

"Oh gear up. Be Ace for one night, not Mr. Apathetic." I said pouting as he gulped down the shot. Woah. I don't know how many drinks we had or how many we didn't but I was not heavily drunk, just enough to make me feel loose and relaxed. I don't know about Ace but he looked quite sober to me.

I don't even knows most of the drinks. Some people were shouting 'sex on the beach', some were shouting 'martini' please, or one was saying 'bloody mary'. And the list goes on and on. I didn't even understand half of the names.

But I wasn't going to just and drink. I am going to make this day memorable. I am going to make sure that I have good memories. And I am going to take Ace with me too. No way in hell I am gonna leave him sulking on the bar.

"Let's go dance on the beach! It's fucking the Bahamas!" I shouted dragging Ace again to the dancing crowd. I kept my boots along the side and started to dance.
