Taming The Hot Billionaire (Temptation Series Book 4) Chapter One Hundred - The Wait
The next evening after duty, Eva was surprised to see her aunt Claudia at Maxwell’s house, busy chatting with his family members. “Here she comes at last! Have you submitted your leave application Eva?” she asked and Eva nodded. “Yes, aunt Claudia! Alyssa and I are planning to take five days' leave from Wednesday.” “That’s good! You need to rest before your big day. Your aunt and I were planning to host a bridal shower party for you. When are your friends coming over?” asked Maxwell’s mom. “Sienna and Alyssa are here. Skylar will come over on Wednesday and I don’t know about Hayley and Ashton.” Aunt Claudia looked at her nervously, wanting to know why she was keen on inviting Ashton but couldn’t ask in front of Maxwell’s family. “They should have come over earlier to help the girls here,” said aunt Gloria. “Sienna is in her final trimester. Alyssa has also applied for leave. She should be here by tomorrow night. Everything happened so suddenly that the others can’t make it here b

Unable to get up, Eva closed her eyes to get a grip on her swooning head. Since morning she had been feeling drained up and more so after the bout of nausea that hit her hard this morning. After being busy the day before with salon visits, bank visits, and so on, she had escaped Alyssa’s curiosity but not for long. She would soon know that Eva was pregnant, that too with Alexander’s baby. Eva couldn’t imagine what her reaction would be. Ever since Alyssa returned from Singapore, they hadn’t been able to catch up much on each other’s lives. Now that she was living with them, she would definitely find out about her pregnancy and the reason for her hurried wedding to Maxwell. Maxwell’s mom came rushing into the room after Kendall informed her about Eva’s condition. “How did your condition deteriorate, Eva? You’re looking very pale.” Aunt Gloria too followed her to check and shook her head with concern.“I think she needs to see her doctor.” “I’ll be fine if I sleep a little, aunt Glori

After Alyssa left, Eva had a very restless night. Unable to sleep, she couldn’t help but repent her hasty decision to marry Maxwell. If Alexander wasn’t marrying anyone, then she should have waited for him to make a move. With Maxwell determined to have a normal marital relationship with her, she was now having second thoughts about the whole thing, although it was too late. How could she announce to Maxwell’s family that she wanted to cancel the wedding?Maxwell had been ignoring her since the argument in the morning, and Eva was dying to break off with him. If she had a say, she would have gone back to her apartment, away from everything.The next morning, she felt even more haggard with the sleeplessness taking a toll on her health. The bridal shower party was at 6 o’clock in the evening and she had the whole day to catch up on her sleep. With everyone busy with last-minute preparations, no one disturbed her. Alyssa was busy shopping with Skylar and Hayley, who had come over to att

Aunt Claudia arrived with a beaming Sienna and Alexia, who was Lucas’s child from his previous marriage. “Where’s Alyssa?” she asked on seeing Hayley and Skylar chatting with Kendall and Gabriella. Not knowing that Alyssa had been abducted by none other than aunt Claudia’s youngest son, Eva shrugged, looking clueless. “I haven’t seen her since she went to the washroom.” “This is so strange. I’ll just ask around,” she said, walking away.Sienna sat down with Eva and leaned in towards her. “Nicholas has abducted Alyssa to a secluded island to clear all their misunderstandings once and for all. There’s no point looking for her. She won’t return soon. He has asked me to announce it only after the wedding!” whispered Sienna, and Eva’s eyes widened with shock.“Oh, my God! I needed her with me now. Why did Nicholas have to do it now?” asked Eva with dismay. “It might have something to do with Maxwell. He came over last night to talk to Nicholas. He might have stuffed Nicholas’s brain wit

“Alexander, you shouldn’t have come here. Eva isn’t in the frame of mind to handle you right now,” said Hayley anxiously, getting up from the sofa to stop Alexander from barging into the room. “You’re wrong, Hayley. She needs me to heal.” This time Alexander was determined to have a word with her and dragged a chair to sit at her bedside, paying no heed to Hayley’s protests. Hayley sighed, knowing that he was right. If anyone could bring an improvement to Eva’s condition, it was Alexander. In fact, she fell sick because of him! Therefore, it was best to give them a little privacy to sort out their differences. “I’ll grab a cup of coffee in the meantime.” She opened the door and walked out, much to Alexander’s relief. He had waited patiently for everyone to leave before coming over to talk to her. Eva’s condition had him worried. It was only Skylar who informed him what was going on. She mentioned a pregnancy, and it had him lose his mind. How could Eva be pregnant? Did Maxwell take

Eva woke up early the next morning and trudged to the washroom to freshen up. With the wedding scheduled in the morning, there was no time to spare. Last night, Maxwell was in a terrible mood and refused to talk to her on their way home. Eva didn’t talk to him, although she was bursting with curiosity to know why he hated Alexander so much. Surely it wasn’t because of an immature fight! How did she not see through him earlier?Her condition had improved, but the memory of Alexander weeping by her bedside drove her crazy. She looked for her mobile phone everywhere, but strangely, it was nowhere to be found. Maxwell’s sisters brought her breakfast to her room and ensured that she had her fill. “Have you seen my phone, Kendall?” she asked, but Kendall shrugged, looking clueless. “Did you leave it at the hospital? I’ll ask, bro.” Eva didn’t remember seeing it after Alexander visited her in the hospital. She was too upset to keep track. “I haven’t seen it for the last couple of days,” s

It was morning and, and Alexander was eager to barge into Maxwell’s house to stop the wedding. Sienna called him while he was driving, and Ashton took the call on his behalf. “Hi, Sienna. Ashton here. Alex is driving,” said Ashton. “He called me last night after I fell asleep.” “Yes, but right now, we’re on our way to Maxwell’s house.” Sienna gasped at the other end. “Are you going to stop the wedding?” “Yes, we are planning to. Are you there?” asked Ashton. “Yes, we all are there. Do you need help? You have our support,” said Sienna. “Thanks. We would need that! We’ll ask for help if we need it. See you in ten minutes,” said Ashton, disconnecting the call. “Why didn’t you ask about Eva? You should have asked about the scene at the house,” pointed out Alexander.“Oh, it escaped my mind. Do you want me to call her back?” he asked warily. “No, we need to pick up Jax and Mike from their houses, right?” asked Alexander. “No, Jax will reach the venue. We need to pick up Mike on o

Maxwell stared back at him with intense hatred in his eyes while everyone gaped at the ongoing drama. “Why should I tell you? I want you to suffer for Eva the way I have for Teresa. It’s because of you she left me and married someone else. You injured me and sent me to the hospital. She met a rich guy there and left me for him. If I wouldn’t have been hospitalized, she would have been with me. I hate you, Alexander Van Every! You deserve this. I’ll snatch Eva and your baby away from you and you wouldn’t be able to do a thing about it,” yelled Maxwell, shoving a dazed Alexander towards the exit. Ashton grabbed hold of Alexander and glared back at Maxwell. “You can’t bear a grudge against him for that, Maxwell. It was a high school fight. He thought you guys were harassing his sister,” Ashton spat out at him. “I will take my revenge on him. The simple high school fight destroyed my life. This is between Alexander and me so, stay out of this Ashton,” Maxwell gritted out. Coming to hi

“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
