“Marilyn, that’s a Knight ship and it has just sent out a distress signal. We have to stop and help whoever’s in there" Zurich said

“more delays? Must we be the one to rescue whoever’s in there? Why can’t you just understand that I so badly want to see zach?"

“well your desperation to see zach will have to wait. We have to help whoever’s in there. They’re our fellow men”

And they immediately stopped beside the abandoned ship and Zurich, Raymon and 2 other men crossed over to the abandoned ship, to rescue whoever was in there.

“Mom, I thought the search party was supposed to go out today, to go look for Zach and Eve? How come they’re all sound asleep?” Asha asked her mother, who just smiled at her.

“Oh Mother, What did you do again?” Asha asked worriedly, earnestly tired of her mother's tactics.

“I sincerely begged Lioned to give our children more time, but he refused. So I had to take matters into my own hands. Do you know Eve is pregnant?"

“Pregnant” Asha asked, incredulous

"Well I’m not sure, but she was having morning sickness and vomiting a lot. So that can only mean one thing right?" Malinda said still smiling

“What exactly did you do to the search party?"

“I gave them all a sleeping medicine that will wear out in one to two days time."

"No mother. I suppose no one can dissuade you from this your pointless matchmaking scheme"

*sighs*

"That reminds me, where is Fred mother? I haven’t seen him around for quite some time now."

"Oh he went on a little vacation. According to him, for four to five months. He claims he doesn’t have anything to do here at home."

………………………………………………………

"No way! Zach? how come you’re the one trapped inside this ship? And with a girl for that matter.  Did you decide to take a vacation?"

"Now Zurich, it’s a pretty long story. Zurich, meet my friend Yvonne and Yvonne, meet my best friend Zurich."

“pleasure meeting you” Eve said with an easy smile, offering her hand.

“Oh the pleasure’s all mine beautiful” Zurich said smiling and raising her hand to reach his lips.

“Zach, I’d like to speak with you privately.  Something has come up at the company”

“what happened? It’s okay, you can speak with her here” Zach said, when Zurich was a little hesitant to speak

“Ranko has made up some very serious allegations that need imminent attention. Knight industries is in terrible danger”

“How bad?"

"Bad. Capable of bringing the whole K.I. down. You need to go back to Boston right now and clear the air.  All of this wouldn’t have happened if you haven’t left in the first place."

And Eve’s heart constricted.
Zach was going back. She knew he wasn’t hers, she couldn’t keep him forever, but this was just so soon. He didn't love her, he had a fiancée he was getting back to. She was just a fling to him.  He just used her to scratch an itch. Eve reminded herself again, as she had done countless times. Suddenly, she began to feel uneasy and immediately begged the guys to excuse her, and as unsuspicious as possible, she ran to the toilet to empty what she had just eaten.
