Taming The Hot Billionaire (Temptation Series Book 4) Chapter Eighty-Five - Her Everything!
The next morning, Eva watched her friend load her luggage into her car. “Don’t just disappear. Keep in touch!” she said, giving Alyssa a bear hug. “Sure! You too update me whatever happens!” she reminded Eva. “I will! The same goes for you.” Alyssa waved her off and walked away towards her car. “Nothing can happen between me and Nicholas!” she said with an eye roll before climbing into her car. Eva chuckled and went upstairs to her apartment, her heart racing with anticipation. Would Alexander now remind her of her promises to him? Strangely, they hadn’t heard Alexander since last night. Didn’t he know his sister was leaving? Only Eva knew the real reason. He might have been lonely last night and sought refuge in a bottle. Should she check up on him before leaving for work? Taking baby steps, Eva walked up to his door and stood before it. Was he still sleeping? Should she disturb him? How could she just leave for work without meeting him even once? Taking a deep breath, she press

“How did you get in, Alexander?” she gasped with shock as he got up from the rug. Eva’s eyes widened realizing his intentions and she rushed to close the bedroom door. In her towel-clad state, she couldn’t allow him inside at all! “I have my ways, Eva!” he stated in a low whisper, already at the door before she could reach it. “Please wait while I change into something,” she said, her face flushing with color at seeing his hot gaze roam all over her body. “What’s the need? I’ve seen you before?” His husky voice, his dark dilated eyes, and his erratic breathing made the butterflies flutter inside her stomach. “That was long ago. Please step out for a moment, will you?” she tried once more, but he just entered her room, slowly approaching her, one step at a time. With his gaze fixed upon her, Eva was rooted to the spot as if hypnotized by his blazing eyes. As he neared, realization struck her and she stepped backward with every forward step he took till her back touched the wall beh

With Alexander gone back to his apartment to attend to Ashton’s call, Eva kept herself engaged in the kitchen. Quickly making a one-pot Beef Stroganoff to be served over a bed of hot flat spaghetti, she waited for Alexander’s return. Her phone buzzed with an incoming call, and she picked it up, expecting a call from Alyssa. However, her eyes widened when Maxwell’s number flashed on the screen instead. Now, what did he want? She accepted the call and walked over to her balcony to talk. It would be better if she spoke to him now or he might drop in anytime. She didn’t want to disrupt her peace of mind now! “Hi, Maxwell!” she chirped.“Hey! What are you doing tonight?” Eva pondered over his question, wondering what to tell him. “Nothing much. I’m tired so I’ll just have dinner and sleep. How about you?” “I’m outside my office. It’s a beautiful night and I don’t want to go home yet. Do you want to go to a late-night movie? I’ve got two tickets.” Eva’s mind immediately was on high alert

Eva’s heartbeats escalated at his implication, and she nodded shyly. She knew what he wanted! It was the same as she did. Alexander’s lips turned upwards as a smile of relief washed over him. He would have died of blue balls tonight if she hadn’t agreed. After being interrupted by Beatrix, he had been dying to resume where they had left off. His principles and good sense all turned to mush when around Eva. He didn’t control his urges anymore. The need to plunge deep into her was so intense that it seemed he would die if he didn’t make love to her. He reached out and switched off the useless movie, placing the laptop away on the nightstand. “This time I’ve switched off my mobile phone. I’m yours, completely, wholeheartedly!” he whispered, gently laying her down on the bed. Eva smiled, ready for him. “I’m yours too.” He needed no more invitations and eased himself on top of her, taking his sweet time. She cupped his cheeks and claimed his lips in a desperately hungry kiss while his ha

Mr. Black looked all around him before stopping in front of Alexander. With Stephen close behind him, he looked a little apprehensive about being caught. Alexander nodded at him and they went up to the office, unlocking the main gate levers and going inside. “What exactly is going on, Mr. Black? What financial fraud were you talking about?” asked Alexander as they proceeded towards the financial department. “Sir, yesterday, after Ms. Rotterdam's visit, Mr. Cromwell made some changes to our company’s financial statements. When I checked tonight, I was surprised to find that he has manipulated this year’s company accounts,” explained Stephen, while Alexander frowned with concern. Greg Cromwell was their Director - Finance and Beatrix’s best friend’s older brother. Although Alexander didn’t fancy the man, he never voiced his dislike, since Greg was close to the Rotterdam family. Sometimes he had the feeling that Greg Cromwell had hoped to get his position after Desmond Rotterdam's deat

“Good morning gentlemen! Morning Ms. Rotterdam! Sorry for the delay. So what is the agenda today?” he asked courteously, feigning innocence, his glance sweeping across the table to include the auditors and Cromwell across the table. He wanted them to disclose their urgency for this meeting first before defending himself. The fiercely angry glare he was receiving from Beatrix was enough to warn him that she knew about his involvement with Eva. Maybe that was what it was all about! She found out about his involvement with Eva and wanted to teach him a lesson for life!“Were you not aware of the internal audit that had been scheduled for today?” asked Mr. Strasbourg, giving Alexander a questioning look. “I’m afraid, no. I just returned from the London tour and reported today. There has been no update from the finance team regarding this audit. So what was the urgency to conduct an audit today without my knowledge?” he asked, turning to look at an uncomfortable Mr. Cromwell. “The audit

“Mr. Van Every, that is absolutely uncalled for. We’re sorry on behalf of the company that you had to go through this sort of humiliation. Please do not make a hasty decision. The board wants you to continue to lead the company as its CEO,” said Mr. Strasbourg, while the others agreed with him, all except Beatrix and Mr. Cromwell, of course. “Thank you for your faith in me, but I have lost the will to continue in Rotterdams. I will stick to my decision of stepping down as CEO of Rotterdams.” “Is that your final decision?” asked Mr. Strasbourg, massaging his temples and looking helplessly at the other board members. “Yes, Mr. Strasbourg.” Alexander didn’t consider it necessary to even glance in her direction. She wanted him to step down, and he just complied, having lost all interest in working with the likes of Gregory Cromwell. With her comrade’s help, Beatrix could figure out how to handle her dad’s business empire. “It is really our misfortune, but we cannot force you to stay.

Alexander went to his penthouse to spend the night to get a grip on his mind. He had nurtured dreams about Rotterdams after promising his mentor on his deathbed. He would never have broken his promise and deserted Rotterdams unless pushed to the edge. Now, he needed some space to get a grip on himself after Beatrix's careless plans shattered his dreams forever. However, after an hour, the doorbell rang and a fiercely angry Beatrix appeared at his doorstep. “What are you doing here, Beatrix? In your condition, you should rest at home.” She barged her way inside, refusing to be discouraged that easily. “I won’t accept your decision to break off the wedding, Alexander. My baby needs a name and you have to marry me.” “I can’t marry you after the way you backstabbed me. I have resigned from Rotterdams. Now I have no wish to associate with you anymore.” Alexander stood with a grim expression on his face, unmoved by her pleas. “Then what do I do with this baby? The wedding preparations a

“Granny, grandpa, you have to shift to New York this time. Enough of staying here all by yourselves. Why don’t you sell off the hobby center?” coaxed Alyssa after seeing the way her grandpa was still struggling with his day-to-day activities at eighty-nine.“Yes, Alyssa is right, dad. Please come along with us. You can play with Eleanor or Axel in a few days instead of living here all by yourselves,” said Alexander’s mom. “Who are Eleanor and Axel?” asked a clueless granny. “Alexander and Eva’s baby, mom!” said Jodie Van Every, beaming with excitement. She loved the names the moment she heard them and had been planning a nursery for the baby ever since Grandpa gave his wife an excited look, as if contemplating the suggestion. “Who will buy the hobby center? I can sell everything here and move to New York with you but after Alexander’s baby is born,” said grandpa. “Done. We’ll stay back here and help you sell everything off,” said Daniel Van Every. It was therefore decided that his

The next morning, Alexander reached Mr. Strasbourg’s house on time. His son, Adam Strasbourg, welcomed him and offered him coffee as they waited for Mr. Fitzgerald. Alexander had met him two years ago when he had come down from Frankfurt where he lived. “I know you’re the prime suspect in this case and you shouldn’t be visiting here, but I wanted to see you, Alexander. My mind is very disturbed. Dad was so attached to you, and it’s ironic that you had to be accused of murdering him.”“I’m sorry that I couldn’t save him, Adam. After stepping down from Rotterdams, I was quite busy.”“I understand. For the last two years, we have been pleading with dad to come over to Frankfurt and live with us but he didn’t even consider it an option. He received a strange thrill from involving himself with Rotterdams. He seemed obsessed with saving the empire, which belonged to a deceased friend.”“Yes, he was too attached to Rotterdams.” “What was the outcome of his dedication? He lost his life! Thi

The next day, Alexander shifted to his penthouse when Eva was at the hospital. His mom came over with her housekeeper to get the penthouse cleaned up and arrange their belongings. Alexander felt relieved to be home at last, to where he belonged. “Everything is arranged now. I’ll leave, Alex. We’ll see you later after you settle down,” said his mom. After his mom left, Alexander received a call from Ashton.“Bro, I wouldn’t be able to return soon. There’s an emergency here that will take some time to wrap up. I’ve got a big promotion here at the hotel and I can’t overlook my responsibilities here. Why don’t you start without me?” Alexander noted his disinterest in starting a business under the circumstances. “Oh, that’s fine. Dad has released my funds and I can invest freely. Don’t worry, if you want you can join me anytime.” “Thanks, bro. I will.” After he disconnected the call, Alexander called his lawyer, Thomas Goldstein, and informed him about the latest update. “I want to co

“I’m sorry about that, Beatrix. Eva isn’t keeping well because of her pregnancy and I couldn’t take your call,” apologized Alexander, feeling guilty for ignoring her plea for help. “I understand, Alexander. I know how much I’ve tormented you with my stubbornness and I’m sorry for everything I did,” said Beatrix and this time she genuinely looked ashamed of herself. “So am I. Everything happened for a reason. We weren’t meant for one another.” “Yes and I’ve learned my lesson the hard way,” said Beatrix with a sigh. “It’s better to move on now. Have a good life with Fairfield. I’ll contact Mr. Fitzgerald and start hunting for the evidence Mr. Strasbourg had hidden somewhere,” said Alexander, but Beatrix stopped him. “Wait! I have a request, Alexander.” “Tell me!” Alexander knew what she would ask of him, but he wasn’t ready to go into that again. “Please come back to Rotterdams, Alexander. The company needs you. Right now, Mr. McCabe is the current CEO, but I want you to look aft

Eva gaped at her husband, too shocked to react. After Daniel Van Every’s last call, she hardly expected him to accept her. So did she unnecessarily overreact last night? “Oh, are you sure? How did they suddenly change their mind about me?” She wondered if Alexander fought with them for her. “Alyssa made them see sense. Mom and dad apologized for everything that happened. They want to be a part of our lives, to play with our baby,” said Alexander while Eva sat with her mouth hanging open. Did they soften because of her pregnancy? A smile brightened up her face, and she resumed eating, letting the good news seep into her system. “I’m glad that they’ve accepted us, Alexander. I was tired of living alone with no family to call my own. At Maxwell’s house, his family cared for me so much, I craved one of my own. I wished your family would accept me like they did. Maybe God has granted my prayers.” Alexander smiled at her, feeling satisfied that finally another wish of hers had been fulfil

Eva’s head swooned under the effect of a panic attack, and she gasped for breath. Before she could reach the washroom door, her feet buckled, and she felt dizzy. Alexander rushed to catch her just in time to arrest her fall. Alyssa too rushed in followed by the others, too shocked by everything to react. Alexander’s parents gaped at the scene before them, finally realizing how deeply their behavior had affected the poor girl.“Eva, no one can separate us, baby! Please take a deep breath and calm down,” cried Alexander, but she lost her senses in his arms. Alexander carried her limp body to the bed. “I’ll get some water,” said Alyssa, rushing to the washroom. “Eva wake up. I’m right here with you. You’ve been brave for so long. You can’t fall sick now,” said Alexander, patting her cheeks. Alyssa rushed in with the water and sprinkled it over her face. It worked, and she slowly opened her eyes to look at Alexander with wide eyes. “Take deep breaths, baby. I don’t want to admit you

“Lucas called to say that Mr. Fitzgerald is busy tonight. He wouldn’t be coming in for a discussion,” said Alexander, hovering around in the kitchen while Eva made dinner. The doorbell rang and Eva looked at him worriedly. “I thought Mr. Fitzgerald isn't coming in tonight.” Alexander shrugged and went forward to check out who had arrived at their doorstep at such an odd hour. Few people knew that he was released today and was still staying here in Bronx. Maybe it was Alyssa and Nicholas! “Should be Lisa and Nicholas.” He opened the door and rolled his eyes at seeing how right he was. “Knew it!” he said, opening the door wider for Alyssa and Nicholas to come in. “At last I’m allowed entry into the place. I thought I would always be a stalker waiting outside!” said Nicholas and Alyssa punched his arm. “Did you really stalk me? You creep?” asked Alyssa in disbelief. Eva emerged from the kitchen and giggled at the ongoing topic. “Yes, so? Alexander knows about it. He caught me so m

“Eva’s been at my house with Sienna and Alyssa since last night. Don’t worry, we didn’t allow her to return to her apartment. They ensured she didn’t skip her meals, and she was perfectly fine. In fact, we’re all heading there right now,” said Lucas, and Alexander smiled with relief. “I know why you asked. Maybe it’s got something to do with Alyssa. She can answer your question better, bro,” whispered Nicholas. Alexander smiled, amazed at how Nicholas could see through him. “What are we waiting for, man? Let’s go?” urged Alexander, unable to wait any longer. All the formalities were over at the court and they had no reason to wait. “You need to collect your belongings from the precinct, Mr. Van Every,” said the officer, and Alexander nodded. “I’ll see you later, son. Here are the keys to the penthouse. I’m sorry for everything that happened,” said his dad, handing him the keys and walking away, leaving him stunned. What the hell just happened? Did his dad apologize for his beha

“Bro, this isn’t even half the bail amount. Why did you lie to Eva? She’d be so upset when she comes to know,” said a worried Nicholas as they headed to the court for the initial bail hearing before the Magistrate judge. He looked at the cheque that Sienna had issued against the jewelry that Eva handed to her. It was the exact amount Lucas had specified to Eva. “I didn’t want to overburden her with a loan. Don’t tell her anything. I’ll have a word with Alexander later when he is released. Right now, I’m paying the rest of the amount. It’s the same with Chris’s payment. He didn’t quote it all to Alyssa. I’ll pay the rest when the case is over.” They met Chris and discussed the case outside the court while waiting for the proceedings to start. “So, what’s the update on the case? Did you find any leads? Will they approve of Alexander’s bail request?” asked Lucas in a low whisper. “Yes. I’m hundred percent sure, given Alexander’s respectable past record. I’ve roped in a few noteworthy
