A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Family Dinner
Crystal's POV 'That must be Mr St Clair,' CC said and jumped up to get the door. We were in Eric's father's house for the dinner the family was having with Midas. My heart immediately started beating so fast that I was sure Eric could hear it. I had not heard from Midas since he dropped me off at Eric's house. I had asked Karen if she heard from him several times and she had said she didn't. I looked forwards to him calling me or Karen. Since I knew Karen was also working for Midas, I felt safer in the house but not hearing from Midas gave me some sort of sadness. Eric's mother came to the house on Thursday and gave me a package she said Midas had dropped off for me. When I opened it, it was a beautiful dress in a shade of blue. I had to hide my happiness in the presence of Eric's mum but after she left, Karen and I had a field day admiring the dress. 'He delivered a package to CC too. I guess he is already taking care of the family even before he is married to CC. He must
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Determined and Ready
Crystal’s POV ‘Eric, you need to calm down. What is wrong with you?’ His mother sneered. ‘Nothing is wrong with me. All I am saying is that, my wife is going no where. Who the hell does he think he is?’ Eric said shouting on top of his voice. ‘He is the one who holds the future of the Conner enterprises in his hands so you should watch what you have to say,’ his mum shouted to match his voice. ‘Darling, Eric has a point. Crystal is his wife. He has a right to stop her from going to Mr St Clair’s site or on dinner date with him,’ Eric's dad said. I was astonished by Eric's outburst. Could Midas be right that Eric liked me and was only fighting the feelings by being mean? ‘He has no point. What is Crystal to him. You don't love her nor care if she jumped down a seven storey building. If her going to Mr St Clair will secure our partnership then so be it,’ Eric's mum said blushing hard. ‘We will be signing the agreement on Monday so why is it necessary for Crystal to go t
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

Midas’ POV I smiled happily as clapping erupted in the hall where Mr Rotman was having the party. I couldn't take my gaze off Crystal now Pearl as she smiled confidently at everyone waving her hands like the true princess that she was. No one could have known that she almost had a nervous breakdown a few minutes before her father called her to the podium. ‘I am so nervous Midas. I feel like turning around and running away,’ she had said to me when I was about to leave her alone behind the podium so that I could watch her walk up there. ‘Running away right now is a good idea but we both know that is cowardice. Didn't the therapy work?’ I asked, looking into her eyes. ‘It did Midas. It is just that …’ ‘Use everything you have learned to get through this night, my love. By the way, you look stunning,’ I said before pulling her into my hands and kissing her lightly on the cheek. I didn't want to tamper with her perfect make up that was why I didn't give in to my urge to kiss
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Joke or Hallucination
6 months later Eric's POV ‘What are you doing with the Rotmans’ invite?’ Dad asked Mum as he came into the living room ‘Mrs Rotman herself sent it to me,’ Mum answered smiling. That was the first real smile I had seen on her face in months. We were staying in our house but things weren't as rosy as they used to be seven months ago. We would have been living in abject poverty if I hadn't taken it upon myself to sell our cars and cunningly invest them into shares at the company Daddy manages, which was our former company. The company had been renamed Crystalized Pearl. It was an irony that the name had Crystal in it. Hearing the company's name sometimes gave me a headache, so I just avoided listening to anyone calling out the name. I sold my house where I lived with Crystal to pay off debts and I had to burn the clothes she left behind just to keep her off my mind. I still loved her even after everything that had happened. Dad was doing fine with the company. He w
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Freedom
Midas’ POV I could see the fear and nervousness on the faces of the staff of the Conners' company as I entered the office complex. Even those who met me at the door greeted me nervously. I knew they must have already heard that I was the new owner of the company. I had worked with some of their accounting staff for a day or two before coming to the place, and from my interactions with them, I knew the tension was high, but I had promised Crystal that none of the current staff was going to lose their jobs. A lot of them were standing around greeting me as I entered. I had the intention of addressing them once I was through with the Conners. It is a new year, and no one deserves unhappiness except people like the Conners, who have been dishing out sadness to others. ‘This way, sir,’ one of the staff said, pointing at the office where the Conners were. He opened the door and Edmond and I entered. The Conners were all there including their daughter CC. I wondered what she co
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
