A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Anxiety Filled Wait
Crystal's POV I smiled to myself as I walked around the penthouse in admiration. I had been there for three days but I was yet to get over the beauty of the whole place. I didn't go back home to Eric's house the day Midas’ personal assistant had called Eric's mother to get me to Midas’ office. Midas had actually shown me that he was indeed wealthy because a complete wardrobe was delivered to the pent house the next morning after I got there. The only thing that saddened me was the fact that Midas had refused to spend time with me at the pent house. He came and rarely spent five minutes before leaving. He said we would be going to Paris and he was getting everything ready and some other excuses about attending to important things before we left. If I hadn't known better, I would have said that he was avoiding me. Thinking of his behavior again at that moment, I concluded that he was definitely avoiding me. The door to the pent house opened but I didn't bother to turn
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Contentment
Midas' POV ‘All my way here, I kept wondering why you might want to see me Mr Eric Conner. I expected that you will be out there trying to rectify your mess so that it will not affect your company. Remember I have an investment there? I don't like wasting my money,' I said immediately I entered my secretary's office where Eric was waiting for me. ‘Mr St Clair. I am actually here in that regard,’ Eric said and stood up to greet me. I shook his extended hand but I felt an overwhelming feeling to squeeze his hand and make him roll on the floor in pain. The son of a gun took what was mine and made her see hell in the process. ‘What do you think I can do for you?’ I asked him with an unsmiling business mode face. ‘Can I speak to you privately?’ Eric asked casting a worried look at my secretary. ‘Sure. Come with me,’ I said then turned around and walked to my office with Eric coming behind me. We entered my office and I offered him a seat. He looked worried that I would have
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Welcome Home
Crystal's POV ‘Welcome on board ma'am,’ an air hostess said as I got on the plane. I smiled in acknowledgment of her greeting while trying as much as I could to hide my excitement at boarding a plane for the first time in my life I kept looking around as she led me to a seat on the plane. I was smiling as I looked around. I had never thought that I would ever board a plane, not to talk of an expensive-looking one like the one I was in. ‘Welcome onboard ma'am,' another person greeted me as I got to the seat the hostess had pointed out. She was not dressed like the hostess so I knew she wasn't an air hostess the very moment I set my eyes on her. She was wearing a well-tailored suit and pants, and she looked impeccable with her hair tied up in a bum. ‘Thank you,’ I said smiling at her. ‘My name is Natasha. I will be your escort for this journey, and I will see to your needs,’ she said, and I nodded happily as I sat down. Midas had mentioned that there would be someone with me o
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Confusion
Crystal's POV ‘It is good to finally get to meet you, Crystal. I have heard a lot of beautiful things about you,' Midas’ grandfather said after Midas and I finally went inside the house to join him in the sitting room. ‘The pleasure is all mine sir. I have heard beautiful things about you too. Thanks for coming to Midas' rescue,' I said sincerely. ‘Now, that is nothing to thank me for, young lady. Midas is all I have got. I lost my wife very early and stood my ground never to remarry, just to honor the memory of the love that we shared. I raised Midas’ father single-handedly, but he too was taken away from me along with his wife, and then I lost Midas. If I didn't come looking for my grandchild what will I gain?’ Midas’ grandfather was smiling as he said those words but I wasn't fooled. I could see the pain in his eyes. ‘I am sorry for your loss, sir,’ I said, looking away from the old man. I could feel his pain. My grandmother was the only one in the world that I had. I imagi
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Traumatized
Midas’ POV ‘You have been picking your food Crystal. Aren't you hungry?’ I asked. Ever since I got downstairs to meet her with a barely touched pie, I knew something was wrong. I asked her if she was okay and she said she was okay. I had finished the rest of the pie and playfully told her that I was glad she didn't eat it. She had only given me a tight lipped smile. ‘I am fine. I guess I am tired,’ Crystal said without raising her head from the food to look at me. ‘It is your first time boarding a plane right?’ My grandfather asked her. ‘Yes. It was exciting though but I guess it affected me and I didn't know it,’ Crystal said to my grandfather and she raised her head to look at him. She was lying! I knew Crystal too well to buy her lies. She was angry and bothered about something but she wouldn't even say anything. I knew that whenever she was angry, she would keep mute and I had to say something to make her more angry so that she would say exactly what the problem was.
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Unexpected
Midas POV ‘You should try to smile a little you know? You are the host. Going around with a long face might scare the guest,’ Edmond said coming to join me where I was standing in front of the bar attender. ‘Does it look like I care?’ I asked. The party was in full swing, very few of the invited guests were yet to arrive. The whole place smelt of rich perfume both pleasing and unpleasing ones. I didn't enjoy social gatherings but I had to endure because I was a public figure and some things were expected of me. Blending in at first had been difficult because of the type of background that I had but when I discovered that I didn't have to do much, I had accepted my fate and just sat through them. I talked, smiled and greeted when it was necessary. ‘Tell me what crawled up your ass and died there?’ Edmond asked raising a brow. ‘Why are you here badgering me with questions Edmond? I thought you were supposed to pick up a certain DNA.' ‘That is fine already actually,’ E
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Tons of Lies
Crystal's POV I looked at the clock in the sitting room for the umpteenth time. I knew that Midas had told me to go to sleep because he would be coming late but I couldn't bring myself to go to sleep when he was still out. I wished I had gone to the party with him but I knew it was better that I stayed away. There would be paparazzi everywhere for such an event and we didn't want to raise suspicions yet. Midas had left in the morning after he made sure that I had an early breakfast. He had said he needed to take care of somethings at the office before the party in the evening. He had made me promise to tell him what triggered my question when he returned. I had only promised him because I wanted him to drop the topic but when I saw the way Reine looked at him when she helped him take his bag to the car, I decided I was going to tell him. I would not say I was jealous per say but I just wasn't comfortable staying under the same roof with someone who said Midas had slept with
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend A Twin
Crystal’s POV I stared at the fainting man in utter shock. Midas was trying his utmost best to hold him up but when he saw that the older man's eyes were tightly closed, he swore as he swung into action and quickly got the older man's hands around his neck while shouting for help. I quickly joined Midas so that we could take the older man outside where there was fresh air. ‘My goodness! What happened?’ A man who looked like one of the farmers asked when we got outside. He must have heard Midas shouting for help. ‘Get the car. I think he just had a heart attack,' Midas said. The man rushed off then returned shortly driving a car. The man got down and opened the doors before rushing to our side to relieve me of the weight. I sighed in relief as I stretched my back. He was a grown man so holding him up was difficult. I had expected that Midas would ask me to stay back when I was about getting in the car but he didn't. He only looked at me for a second as if he was deliberati

A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend A New Beginning
Midas’ POV ‘How did I do?’ Crystal asked me the moment the cameras were off. I pulled her up from the chair and pulled her straight into my chest. I kissed her lips gently before I answered her question. We had decided that Crystal should grant the interview to let the Conners off the hook for a while. Netizens were going wild on the Internet and people had placed a siege on their companies everywhere they were in Roseville. It was time to move on to the next line of action, hence the interview. ‘You did great babe. You were eloquent and you looked like a queen. Tell me, how did I get so lucky?’ ‘Stop being playful Midas. I am serious here,' Crystal said trying to push me away but I held on to her. ‘I am serious here too Crystal. You were magnificent,’ I said then kissed her neck. She shivered in my hands then blushed. I knew she was uncomfortable with the camera crew still in there but I just wanted to hold her. ‘Mr St Clair, I will be on my way now,’ Theresa the hos
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Way Into Poverty
Eric's POV ‘You need to eat Eric. That is the only way you are getting out of this bed. You need to man up and stop behaving like a child,' Dad said angrily before leaving the room. I didn't have an appetite, but they seemed not to understand. How could I eat when my whole world had just crumbled. ‘For us to get out of this mess, we need our strength and our wits around us Eric. So starving yourself won't help you,’ Mum said coming to sit beside me. ‘Mum, in just a blink of an eye, I have lost everything. I realized too late that I could lose Crystal.’ ‘Crystal will come back Eric. She can't possibly leave her grandmother alone.’ ‘The Martins haven't contacted you?’ I asked Mum in surprise. ‘No, they haven't,' Mum answered. ‘I thought they were the ones who gave you this house.’ ‘No. That is another friend. Not them. Why did you ask if they have contacted me?’ ‘Crystal’s grandmother is missing alongside her caregiver.' ‘What! And those fools didn't deem it fi
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Disgusted
Eric's POV I sat in the car, watching her house from a distance, deliberating exactly how I intended to make her pay for what she had done. At a point, I wanted to turn back and just release the uncensored video to the Internet; of course, I had nothing more to lose as it was. Everything had already gone to ruins but I changed my mind and decided to confront her instead and tell her to expect her nude photos all over the internet the next day. If I go down, she goes with me. I would have gotten out of the car, but I stopped when a car came to a stop in front of her house, and a man well dressed came out looking like he had just walked out of a magazine cover. She opened the door instantly, the car parked, and rushed into the waiting hands of the other man. My blood boiled, I wasn't even out of the way yet and she was already in another man’s arms. I thought she said she cared about me. It all just showed that she didn't love me in any way whatsoever. I was sure that she must hav
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Grandma's Truth
Crystal’s POV I was confused with everything my grandmother was saying. She told me herself that she picked me up from a dumpster while she was digging through dumpsters to get food. ‘Grandma. I don't understand you at all. Who am I?’ I asked her with a deep frown. ‘You will all have to listen to my explanation and you Crystal, you need to listen to me with an open mind. Promise me you will not judge me until you have heard it all,' my grandmother said looking pitiful. ‘I promise Grandma,' I said. ‘Ok. Where do I start from?’ Grandma asked looking at Mr Rotman. ‘Start from when you took Pearl,' Mr Rotman said with anger very evident in his voice. ‘No. I think she should start from the beginning. Who were you to my mother?’ I said. I didn't want any details left out. It was obvious that Mr Rotman knew who she was to my mother but I needed to know too. ‘Okay. I met your mother when she was still pregnant with you. She was homeless because her landlord had thrown her ou
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Nowhere to Run
Eric's POV I came awake gradually as the knock on my car window continued gently. I opened my eyes and wound down. Two police officers were standing outside the car. Some nosy people in the neighborhood must have called the cops. ‘We noticed that your car has been parked here all night. We just wanted to make sure you are okay in here,’ one of the police officers said. ‘I am fine. I guess I slept off and forgot to go home,’ I said trying my best to smile. ‘Ok. But I might have to ask you to move your car because your presence here since last night has given some of the residents concern. Hope you understand sir?’ The other police officer said and I nodded in understanding. I knew the drift so I started the car and moved. I checked the mirror to see if they were standing there. As expected, they were standing at the spot where I just moved from watching me drive out of the street. When I was sure that I was out of their sight totally, I parked my car. My life as it was,

Crystal's POV ‘I am beginning to think that you added weight since we got to Paris. I can feel pain from your weight’ Midas said as I lay on his chest after another round of mind blowing love making. ‘Are you calling me fat?’ I asked raising my head to look at him, feigning anger. Midas laughed hard pulling at my cheeks playfully. I joined him but soon stopped to just stare at him. ‘Why are you starring at me like that?’ Midas asked as his laughter turned to grin. ‘You are so handsome and it is so unbelievable that you are mine. I feel so blessed Midas,’ I said smiling at him. ‘The first time I got here after I was rescued from Roseville by grandpa, the first thing that came to my mind was that my wealth will be meaningless without you in it. Now that you are here, I feel so complete. I can't wait to announce to the world that you are mine,’ Midas said. I would have said something more cheesy but my stomach rumbled so loud that we started laughing at the same time. I co
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend I Choose You
Crystal’s POV My hands shook a little as I dropped the phone. Eric's words resonated in my head. Was it possible that Eric loved me or was he lying about it? I had not intended to call him but after Midas told me about my grandmother’s coming to Paris, I had left him downstairs just to clear my head. The excitement was drowning me. My eyes had caught my phone on the bed side table where I placed it and I decided to call Eric. Why I did it was beyond me. The moment I dropped the call, I wished I had not made the call. I debated within myself for minutes wondering if it were true that Eric was in love with me. At first, I wished he had shown me how much he cared when I was with him just maybe I would have gladly opened my heart to him without reservations. But then I snapped out of it. It was reality and not some fictional movie. Eric was lying about that. I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear Midas open the door and entered. Him calling my name startled me and the f
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Final Nail
Eric's POV I threw the glass cup in my hand against the TV screen as I watched Midas St Clair address the press in front of his grandfather’s mansion in Paris. My secretary had called earlier to tell me about the leaked audio recording of the discussion between Midas St Clair and my momsister CC. She had also called me to tell me that there was a possibility of Midas addressing the press so I had stayed glued to the television station that was capturing everything live from Paris. I had initially thought that CC’s selfish act would for once bring something good for the family. I had noticed her attitude towards Midas the very day he had dinner with the family. I knew she wanted him. Following mum to Paris was actually an opportunity for her to get close to Midas. I had warned her before she left that she was not to do anything stupid to put the family in further trouble. When the picture of them just kissing at the party had broken the Internet, I had thought in relief that
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Surprise
Midas’ POV The sound of my phone roused me from my sleep. I grumbled about the disturbance and picked the phone without checking who was calling while adjusting Crystal properly on my arm. ‘Hello,’ I said into the phone. ‘Are you sleeping?’ Edmond asked as if he had never heard of anyone sleeping in broad day light. ‘I texted you, I told you to leave if you didn't see us come back downstairs in five minutes,' I hissed. lightly. ‘We left but we are back and we were almost not allowed into the gate by the mammoth at the entrance of the estate,' Edmond said. ‘What are you talking about?’ I asked in confusion. ‘The estate gate is filled with reporters who are demanding to see you. The gate is under a siege. I kid you not.’ ‘Damn it. Grandpa is going to kill me,' I muttered and that woke Crystal. ‘What is the problem Midas?’ Crystal asked worriedly. ‘There are reporters at the gate. Grandpa hates them. Go back to sleep. I will just go and do something about it befor
