When I arrived, I saw my husband sitting at a table with Nalani by his side. Was this supposed to be a meeting? Was he seriously introducing me to his mistress? I sat down quietly, my heart heavy. “Eden,” Liam began, his voice calm. “I hope you know why we’re here.” Nalani cut him off with a sharp tone. “Oh, just tell her already.” She looked straight at me, her words cold and deliberate. “I’m carrying Liam’s child, and we’re getting married as soon as possible.” The words hit me hard, but I refused to show how much it hurt. I glanced at Liam, hoping for some sign of remorse, but he just stared at the table. I stood slowly, clutching my purse. “You win,” I said softly. “I’ll sign the papers.”
View More🌸Eden🌸It was funny, in a strange, twisted way. Finn and I had something in common—our exes were getting married. But I didn’t dwell on that thought for long. Instead, I focused on what I could do now. Finn had done so much for me, and though I couldn’t repay him fully, I wanted to at least do something small.Cooking. That’s what I could do.After some thought, I decided on Philly cheesesteak. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was hearty, and I could put my heart into making it. The kitchen became my escape as I chopped, grilled, and layered everything carefully. When Finn came back, his expression shifted when he saw the table set and the food waiting for him.“You cooked?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.I nodded, wiping my hands on a dish towel. “It’s nothing much. I just thought you might like something warm.”A smile tugged at his lips, softening the sharpness of his features. “Thanks, Eden. It looks great.”I watched him take the first bite, his face unreadable at first. Then h
🌸Eden🌸I woke up early, still feeling out of place in the penthouse. Everything that happened the night before was a blur, but I knew I needed to do something to feel in control again.My stomach growled, reminding me I hadn’t eaten properly. I looked around and, on a whim, decided to make breakfast. It was something small I could do for myself.I slipped into the dress Mia had left for me and walked to the kitchen. The staff was quietly moving around, getting things ready for the day. One of the kitchen staff noticed me and asked, “Good morning, Miss. Can I help you with anything?”I smiled slightly and shook my head. “I’m going to make breakfast. It’s okay, I’ll do it.”She seemed unsure but nodded. “Okay, if you need anything, let us know.”I started gathering ingredients: eggs, vegetables, and herbs. Cooking always made me feel better, so I focused on the task. The sound of eggs sizzling and bread toasting helped calm my mind.Once everything was ready, I plated the food and put
🌸Eden🌸“Did my husband tell you I’m carrying his child too?”Nalani froze, her confident expression faltering for just a second. I could tell she hadn’t expected that. It was clear—Liam hadn’t told her about the baby.She quickly recovered, though, and reached into her bag, pulling out another check. “You can choose to keep the baby, or get rid of it,” she said coolly, holding the check up for me to see. “But trust me… you won’t come between Liam and me.”I turned my gaze to Liam, who sat there, speechless, not a word escaping his lips. He looked like an obedient puppy, unwilling to step into the chaos he’d created….“Liam,” I said, my voice trembling with hurt, “she wants me to get rid of our baby—the baby we’ve always wanted.” Tears welled up in my eyes, streaming down my face as the weight of everything hit me all at once. “I’m done with this humiliation. I’m done with you.”With shaking hands, I pulled the divorce papers from my purse, signing them with the flick of a pen. My he
🌸Eden🌸“To deliver this.”She reached into her designer bag and pulled out an envelope. I was anxious as she placed it on the coffee table, right next to the divorce papers. I didn’t need to open it to know what it was—a check.One hundred thousand dollars.My stomach twisted.“Sign the papers, Eden,” she said, her voice smooth but sharp. “And the money is yours.”I stared at the check, disbelief and anger boiling inside me. “This has to be some kind of joke.”“It’s not.” Nalani walked over to the couch, sitting on the armrest like she owned the place. Her eyes scanned the room as if she were inspecting her property. “You’ve had your time with him. But Liam and I… we belong together. Always have.”I let out a bitter laugh. “Belong together? Is that what you think?”“Yes.” She leaned forward slightly, her voice soft but dripping with arrogance. “Liam met me long before he met you. We dated in high school. Life pulled us apart, but now I’m back. Sure, my first marriage didn’t work out
🌸Eden🌸I recalled his words that night.It wasn’t something I expected, not after how sweet he had been to me recently, especially after being so distant for so long.“I’m sorry, but this is what needs to be done,” he said, his voice calm, almost emotionless. “I’m in love with Nalani. I shouldn’t have married you. Her father ….he’s the most influential man In the country currently. He can take me places—make me the man I want to be. It was a mistake.”A mistake.Five years of my life. Five years of loving him, sacrificing for him, believing in him—it was all a mistake?The words cut deeper than any knife ever could.I met Liam Monroe in the most unexpected way. I was rushing across the street near my culinary school, my arms full of books and dreams, when his sleek black car screeched to a stop, just inches from me. The sound of the tires and my sharp gasp marked the beginning of everything.Liam stepped out of the car, looking both apologetic and in control. He was young, handsom
🌸Eden🌸I sat in the dining room, staring at the untouched anniversary cake on the table. My heart sanked as I gripped the edge of the table, my hands trembling.My husband sat across from me, silent and calm, as if the words he’d just spoken meant nothing. But to me, they shattered everything.My eyes fell on the knife next to the cake, my heart pounded as I slowly reached for it, my breathing uneven.“Eden,” Liam’s voice broke the silence, firm and cold.I froze, my hand hovering over the knife. His sharp gaze bore into me, heavy and full of warning.“What are you doing?” he asked, his tone sharp as he stood and started walking toward me.I didn’t answer. My fingers brushed the knife, but before I could grab it, his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist.“Stop this,” he said, his voice low but firm.“Let me go,” I whispered, trying to pull my arm free.He didn’t release me. “Eden!” His voice rose, but I shoved him back with all the strength I had. The knife clattered to the floor as I
