Eden's Point of View:Eden opened her eyes slowly to see a creamy white wall ceiling in warm hospital lights. She tried to lift her head up but something was holding it back. She realized it was nothing physical, but the hammering headache that was making it hard to lift her head up. At first, she couldn't understand where she was, but when she saw a glucose drip on her wrist and the hospital curtains, she realized she was in the hospital. Everything was still blurry and it took her a minute to get back to her senses. When she woke up, a nurse saw her and called the doctor. The doctor walked up to Eden and asked her, "How are you feeling Mrs. Mason?""There's a headache. It's really bad," said Eden as she massaged her temples and squinted her eyes in pain. "Here, this will help," the doctor handed Eden a drink and helped her get up to drink it. She lay in the bed for a few minutes and felt the pain ceasing gradually. "What happened to me?" Eden asked, confused. She didn't remember
Eden picked up her suitcase and looked at Grace, "I'm really going to miss you." She walked over to her and hugged her. "Thank you for everything Grace. I owe you a lot."Grace looked at her as if she was offended, "How dare you? You're like my sister, you owe me nothing."Bennett walked into the room and took the suitcase from Eden's hand. "Is that all?" he asked. Eden smiled and nodded at him. "I'll wait for you downstairs. Take your time," he said and left. Eden looked back at Grace and said, "You'll be staying here with Theo for three more days. Are you sure this is okay?"Grace smiled shyly and said, "It was actually my idea." Eden teasingly said, "I didn't get to have my honeymoon but at least you're going to enjoy yours.""Eden!" Grace said, embarrassed, and playfully smacked Eden's arm away. "Well, I have to go now," Eden said and picked up her purse. She hugged Grace once again and they walked down to the lobby. Theo was waiting there with another car. Eden got into the ca
"You got your ID card? Stationary? All the textbooks you need?" Eden rolled her eyes at Bennett and said, " Yes, yes. Don't worry I got everything." It was Eden's first day of college. A week had passed since she came back from Italy. Bennett had been a perfect gentleman to her. He took care of her and made sure she got everything she needed. Grace had also come back from Italy. Theo and she had another falling out but she refused to talk about it. She was waiting outside Bennett's house, waiting for Eden to come out. She wanted to drop her off on her first day, much to Bennett's chagrin. He tried to reason with Grace that he wanted to go but Grace was adamant about taking her. Eden walked out of the house after kissing Bennett goodbye. She told him everything will be okay, and not to worry. Bennett had been panicking about her first day in college like a parent does for their kid. It turned Eden on how much he cared. But suddenly a small voice in her mind said daddy issues, and Ed
"You must be Eden Mason," the professor asked. He had a rich British accent. "We already did the roll call and you were the only one absent. Thank you for joining us," he said with a hint of amusement in his tone. Edem could see why Grace was staring at her. Though he looked like he was in his early 40s, he was very tall, fit, and muscular, wearing an Armani tweed suit that matched his brown hair with a few gray strands here and there. Eden thought it was not common these days to see a man of his age looking as handsome as he did.Eden looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, professor, it won't happen again." "I don't mind if you come late or not come at all, but please ask your friend to not distract the class again," he said jokingly and smiled at Eden. "Please take a seat."Eden awkwardly walked into the hall and found a seat at the back of the class. She wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself right there. The anxiety she felt in high school every time she was the cen
Grace's Point of View:Grace got in the car with Theo as she saw Bennett and Eden's car leave for the airport. She and Theo had decided to stay in Italy for several more days. Now that Grace was sure that Eden was in good hands, she felt that it was okay to have some fun for herself. Bennett and Eden had finally made up, letting go of all past mistakes. Grace felt happy for her and relieved knowing Benett would take good care of her. Theo was friendly to her the entire time, he acted like a true gentleman and made her feel good. The first night they met in Florence, they had slept together as a result of being too drunk. The next day they were ashamed of what they did, but deep inside, Grace knew that both of them liked it. However, they refused to show each other that it was all that they have been thinking about and decided to call it a ‘moment of impulse’, and to hang out together and go out on dates. The night Eden had called Grace before the incident, they had gone on another dat
Grace's Point of ViewGrace got up when she heard a knock on the door. She didn’t want to get away from Theo, but she was too hungry to care much about it. She opened the door and allowed the bellboy to come inside with the food trolley. He politely smiled and left the room after placing it near the coffee table. Grace and Theo ate their food as they watched the TV. The plot of the show was so engrossing that neither of them could even think about each other in any sexual way. Right before the episode ended, Theo looked down to see Grace snoring on his shoulder. He smiled and tucked her in the bed and got himself comfortable too. Both of them fell asleep quickly since they hadn't slept last night in the hospital. Grace woke up at 7 in the evening and felt something heavy on her chest. She turned her head to see what it was and smiled when she saw Theo sleeping next to her. She needed to go to the bathroom, so she quietly tried to get out of his grip so he wouldn't wake up. As she tr
Grace stepped out of the car and walked into the club with Theo. she realized how easy it had been for her to get into places her entire life. She saw the long line of people giving them the stinky eye for getting ahead of them and going into the club without waiting a minute.The inside of the club was too crowded. Theo held his hand out for Grace to hold so they didn’t get separated. She smiled and gladly took it, following him into the crowd. They kept walking until they reached the bar and ordered their drinks. When they started feeling positively tipsy, they went to the dance floor and started dancing.After a while, they felt thirsty and went back to the bar to get more drinks. They were chatting and laughing when Frace saw a familiar face. It was Dante walking over to her with a big grin on her face. When Grace saw him she felt annoyed. She knew that he would try and shower her with compliments in front of Theo and act all flirtatious and shameless again. Grace smiled at him,
Eden’s point of view;Eden woke up to see Bennett was out of the bed again. Every morning she woke up he was always in his study, making calls or looking at papers. She got up and covered her naked body in a silk robe. She stumbled a little, her legs were still a little sore from the night before. She blushed at the thought but straightened her posture and walked into Bennett’s study to see him engrossed in his laptop screen. “You know, I wish I could wake up one day with you in the bed,” Eden said jokingly. When Bennett heard her, he smiled and got up from the chair.“You just had to say that,” Bennett picked up Eden and she squealed with excitement when he walked into the room and threw her gently on the bed, slowly climbing on top of her. With his face inches away from hers, he ran his hand slowly through her hair sprawled on the soft bedsheet. He looked into her eyes and whispered, “I’m sorry I leave you every morning. All those corporate problems to handle and getting away from
