"You must be out of your goddamn mind to think I'm not coming," Eden said as she felt the bulge in her pocket.
A few days ago Bennett had brought a pistol for Eden. She was hesitant on keeping it but he said that she might need it if things ever go too wrong. He taught her how to use it and helped her train with her aim. In a couple of days Eden knew everything she needed to know about using a pistol.
Theo cursed under his breath and said something about Eden being too stubborn, but he didn't have time to waste and stepped on the accelerator, speeding out of the driveway.
They finally reached the building and saw that everything around it was completely normal. Eden put on the hood of her hoodie and got out of the car. When Theo wasn't looking she turned the safe
There were about 20 people dressed in office clothes sitting on the floor with their hands behind their heads. For every two people, there was a guard standing behind them with a SMG pointed to their head. The guard Theo and her had come with was knocked out cold on the floor.Eden's eyes scanned the room to find Bennett, and when she did, her heart felt a flutter of relief to see that he was fine. He was sitting on his chair behind the desk, with his hands behind his head. Carter was standing behind his chair, resting his elbows on the headrest. Two men stood behind him who were also heavily armed.Carter pointed a gun to Bennett's head which sucked the soul out of Eden. She realised it was the same gun he had used to kill Aliana.Eden's eyes matched with Bennet
"What if I give you a better deal," said Eden, as she slowly released herself from the guard's grip. Surprisingly, he let her go. She walked towards Carter and stood in front of him. She slowly extended her hand and placed it on his cheek sensually. Carter closed his eyes and smiled as if he was in heaven. "What if I love you the way you want me to? What if I never try to run away from you or resist you? Let them go and I'll be the best wife you could ask for. I'll make breakfast for you, and I'll wake you up with a kiss and I'll sing for you. I'll spend every moment of the day with you and fall asleep looking into your eyes. If you let them go, I'll do anything you want me to. I'll be yours." "Eden, don't," Eden heard someone say behind her. She turned around to see Theo shaking his head. Carter opened his eyes and smiled at Eden. He turned his face to look at Theo and shot him with his gun, it all happened so fast that Eden didn't even have time to register what was going on. Ed
Eden held Carter's throat as he struggled to get out of her grip, but he was too weak and too much in pain to affect anything. Suddenly, Eden heard a gunshot. A bullet had flown right past her ear, grazing her cheek and ear. She lost the grip on Carter's throat and fell to the side, her whole head ringing loudly with the sound of the bullet.Eden looked up to see that Carter was holding the gun that she had dropped. She was lying on the floor and Carter was standing over her. He grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her all the way to the helicopter. He was limping heavily but still managed to carry Eden to the helicopter. Eden wasn't going with him, she had already made up her mind. With her ears still ringing, she tried to fight Carter to have him let go of her, but she sensed that his strength had multiplied tenfold. When Eden didn't get in, he pushed her against the railing of the helicopter and pressed the gun to her temple. "I'm going to fuck you so hard right in this chopp
Eden sighed in relief when she heard that Theo was going to be alright, but she felt bad that he had to get shot for no reason. She was happy that a monster like Carter was finally gone. She knew that Grace must be devastated right now, and felt bad that Theo won't be able to walk for a month. Eden sighed and looked down on her lap. "This is all so abnormal. All I've ever wanted was a normal life, but everything keeps falling apart so quickly. I don't get time to recover from the last thing when a new bomb drops. I don't know what to do," Eden said and looked down in guilt. "I keep hurting everyone around me."Eden was crying now, tears freely flowing down her cheeks. Bennett pulled her bad to the bed and rested her head on his chest as he ran his hand through her hair, trying to comfort her. "You don't hurt anyone. It's true that bad luck keeps following you," Bennett joked, getting a chuckle out of Eden between her sobs. "But you're my lucky charm. You're my sunshine, and I can't
Eden brushed her hair as she got ready to meet with Leo. She had asked him to come to one of the busiest cafes in the city. She managed to convince Bennett to not come with her, but he still made her take Buddy with her."I still don't understand why you can't take me," Bennett said as he lay on the bed, completely naked except for a thin layer of bedsheet covering his manhood. "I already told you. I know that you're going to get angry at some point and Leo is also a… passionate man. I don't want anything to go wrong," Ede replied as she got up from the dressing table and walked over to Bennett. She was wearing nothing but her panties and bra. She was getting ready earlier but Bennett had picked her up from in front of the mirror and threw her on the bed, stripping all her clothes down. Eden knew why he was so adamant on having sex when it was time for her to go. He wanted to let her know who she belonged to before she went to meet Leo. Eden sat next to Bennett and said, "I'll be ca
When Bennett was finally done reminding Eden who she belonged to, he went to bathe, leaving her to get ready to meet Leo. She wore simple jeans and a black Star Wars t-shirt, paired with white sneakers. She was feeling nervous to meet him. The whole world knew that Carter was dead. There were cameras in Bennetts office that recorded everything that happened, including all the hostages who acted as witnesses. For security reasons, the media was not told that it was Bennett who had shot Carter, killing him in an instant. It would only spark speculation and unwanted drama. The officer who commanded the raid in the office said Carter was hostile and had to be shot before he did any more harm to anyone. The videos from the camera proved that Carter was indeed not in the right state of mind. Though everything was fine between Eden and Bennett, neither of them felt the same. Bennett had killed a man and Eden had gone through enough to say she was ever going to be okay, but she felt like th
Eden looked at Leo, not surprised at what he said but it still made her heart ache. She knew she loved Bennett with all her heart but it pained her to think about the heartache she caused Leo."But my intentions were still not pure," Leo continued talking. "I didn't want to ruin your relationship with Bennett for Carter. I wanted to ruin it so I could have you all to myself. I tried to convince you to stay with me. I thought you loved me too, but you didn't. It broke my heart, and I decided to stop pursuing you. I told Carter that I was done with his games, but he said he wouldn't let me go to college. It was my last chance to get my family in a better condition, so I agreed again."Eden looked at him and felt guilty for being so harsh to him without knowing anything. She stayed silent and kept listening to what he had to say "You father, Alfred, for some reason he wanted the same thing too. For you to end things with your husband and marry Carter. He sent me to your father's home to
Eden sat in her classroom listening to professor Cooper's lecture. Her mind was distracted, no matter how hard she tried to focus. After a whole month of online classes especially arranged for her, Eden had come to attend the class for the first time. She was nervous that it was going to be awkward for her after everyone saw what happened to her in the news. She was right to be scared, everyone around her treated her like a broken showpiece. They kept staring at her shamelessly and walking up to her to ask her questions about what exactly happened. No one cared about anything she went through, they only wanted to get something to gossip about. A guard walked with her at all times, and any time she felt overwhelmed by people bombarding her with questions, she just gave him a look and he came and rescued her. During the lectures no one was allowed to talk in the class anyway, so Eden would take a seat at the far end of the class and bury her face in the textbook. The teachers were aske
