A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Grovelling
Crystal’s POV My heart was jumping so fast as the car Midas had sent to get me journeyed the busy road. I was smiling happily at the fact that I was going to see Midas, my Midas. I had looked forward to our meeting since Friday. He had not contacted me, even if he had done so, he might not have been able to reach me because my phone was destroyed. The phone was on the verge of destruction so my throwing it at the wall destroyed it totally. I had asked Karen if she heard from Midas but she said no. Something about the way she answered my question showed that she was lying but I didn't push her. I had not seen Eric since Friday night when he attempted to rape me. I didn't come out of my room the whole day on Saturday. It took all of Karen's will power to get me out of the room on Sunday. She assured me that Eric had not been home since Friday night. For precautions, I asked her to keep the door locked just in case Eric returns, I would have enough time to escape back to my r
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Subtle Threat
Midas’ POV Crystal was still blushing and basking in euphoria of my kiss when the elevator stopped at my pent house floor. She smiled shyly at Edmond as he led us into my pent house. She must have been embarrassed to be kissed in front of another person but I didn't care. I had controlled myself since Friday not to contact her. I had called Karen every other hour to check up on her. When Karen had told me Eric almost raped her, I had wanted to drive down there and beat the living day light out of Eric. It took Karen calling my grandfather to talk to me before I changed my mind. That son of a vulture. I still get angry anytime I remember it. All through the signing of the contract on Monday, I had to control myself not to get up from my seat and jump Eric into the wall. Edmond kept looking at me from time to time during the signing just to make sure I wasn't going to jump Eric. I was tempted to but I didn't. I smiled slyly when I remembered that there was a clause in the partn
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend A Possibility
Midas’ POV I couldn't concentrate on my work so I turned my chair to face the glass wall and view the busy city outside. My mind was preoccupied with the singular fact that I wanted and needed to see Crystal. It's been three days since she was at my pent house. I made sure that I handed her a new phone before she left that day. I also took her to the site of the eatery just to make sure that I confuse anyone that was following her. Although, my security team said she was not being followed but I needed to be sure I wasn't bringing suspicion to us. I needed to hasten my plans because the distance was beginning to affect me. Although I was talking to her every minute through chats, I wasn't satisfied. The door of my office opening brought me out of my reverie and I turned my chair around to see that it was Edmond, my personal assistant. ‘I decided to check up on you since you didn't send the file back,’ Edmond said taking his seat opposite me. I sighed a little and said, '
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Scandalous
Eric's POV I stretched as I came awake. The previous night had been hectic. Hectic because I had to muster all the will in me to have sex with Adele. It was gradually becoming a hard work getting my dick up to have sex with her. I was sure that I was gradually getting tired of her. As much as I would hate to admit it, I missed Crystal. I don't know why I kept thinking of my unwanted bride. Without mincing words, Crystal was one innocent beauty but I didn't want her. How she got under my skin was beyond me. All I knew was that at a point in time I wanted her but I had to fight the feelings. ‘Hey baby. I know you are awake,’ Adele said then started kissing my face and my neck. I felt irritated by her kisses but I held still, I allowed her to kiss me all she wanted then I gently pushed her away from me. ‘I am tired Adele. All I need right now is a bath,’ I said getting up from the bed. ‘You just woke up Eric. How is it possible that you are tired?’ Adele asked folding her
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Gone
Eric's POV ‘I am sorry sir. I think the only way we can rectify this to some extent is to get your wife’s speech about supporting you at a time like this out there,’ my lawyer said. We were in my dad's home office. It's been three days since the video of me having sex with Adele went viral and like a coward, I had stayed hidden in my parent's house. ‘I don't think Crystal will be willing to do that for me,’ I said shaking my head. ‘She doesn't have any option. She has to do what we demand of her. Her goddamn father milks this family all in the name of taking care of her invalid grandmother. She must do whatever we want,’ my mum said passionately from her place at the window. ‘What if she doesn't want to?’ I asked. I knew I deserved no pity or concern from Crystal. I was not deserving of anything from her. ‘Like I said before, she doesn’t have any option. Give her a call and get her here immediately. We can record a tape of her talking in this room. She doesn't have to t
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

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
