Chapter 59Eden povI turned on my heels and caught sight of him right across the street in front of the black sports car. He didn’t look any much different from college, and the discomforting aura he carried still hovered around.Right there, my mouth turned dry and my eyes momentarily widened. His blue grey eyes bored into mine, his hair had been slicked back and shone under the sun, he still had the buff frame he worked so hard to get and his cocky smile still imprinted on her lips, Kevin Greene never changed. I dropped my hand to my side squeezing hard on the device. Kevin mirrored my action and walked over to me, my eyes remained on him as he crossed the road until he was righ in front of me, at his towering height of 6’2, even with my heels I didn’t come close. “Hey, didn’t think you’ll be the first person I see when I get here.” He said pocketing his hands in his pants. “What-what are you doing here?” I mouthed instead, my voice was hoarse and faint nothing like I wanted it t
Chapter 60Eden pov“She did?” Magdalene didn't seem surprised by my reaction. “Yeah. I started working here just after high school, it belonged to my older brother-” she waved her hands in the air referring to the bistro. “I learnt from him and now I manage it, during my first day I met with your mum, she was the only person on this floor and she was sitting right were you are.” she nudged“She experienced my first meltdown here in the bistro, I got into one of my teenage fits with my older brother and she noticed it all. I was supposed to serve her and I was being a total bitch about it. In the end Emilia invited me to her table instead. I was pretty annoyed yet her smile made me sit with her. She ended up buying food for the both of us and it made me feel better. She told me about you and how you'll throw fits when it's time to handle things.” she paused and glanced down at the picture in the middle of the desk. That sounded so much like my mo
Chapter 61Percy povMy mind was unsettled by the way Eden sounded on the phone, even with the assurance from her mouth I can’t seem but to doubt every single thing she told me. I tapped on keyboard of the tablet in front of me while listening to my assistant give me the briefing. It was ten minutes until the next meeting, and I was torn between going to find her or remaining and believing her words.“Mr. Alexandro?” I snapped my head at my secretary who stared at me with a worried expression. “Uh-uhm I don’t think you heard me but-““Get Audrey.” I said ignoring her words. She stared as if she hadn’t heard me. “Sir she’s ou-“ “You know what never mind, excuse me. Start preparing for the meeting I’ll be there when I’m done.” She nodded and rushed out. I picked up my phone and dialed up Audrey’s number, while I contemplated if it was a good idea Audrey picked up. “To what do I owe this call,- oh wait-“ she continued. “You want me to do something for you concerning Eden, shoot down
Chapter 62Eden povI didn’t understand why he was breathing so hard when I came out or why he hugged me, or even why he offered to sleep in my room today. I didn’t understand the emotions that swarmed in his eyes when he came back and kissed me, why he was holding me like I was going to disappear if he lets me go. When he pulled away for air and my eyes opened I could see the dilation in his eyes. “Percy-“ I muttered but he was already kissing me and I didn’t mind. His fingers squeezed my hips and my thighs brushed against his sweats covered legs, I felt more of his hardness against me as he settled deeper in between my legs. His other hand grazed up in my shirt, my skin burned under his touch and my body reacted to the trail he left.My back arched into his hold and my breath hitched as his fingers flicked over ny under boob making nipples harden in want.His lips slowly lift away from my lips and kissed my jaw and chin, then he moved down to the dip in my neck and then my collar
Chapter 63Percy POV“Kevin Greene.” The name didn’t ring any bell until I heard the name in a deeper voice, from the man I met back at the party. Kevin Greene. He introduced himself to me, that guy! That was Eden ex. The douche that couldn’t hold back his temper.“You dated Kevin?”“You know Kevin?” We asked each other simultaneously, she was away from my chest and leaning back on her knees. Several pieces of hair had fallen in her face and her shirt was now rumpled.“You go first, how did you know or even meet Kevin?” Her voice danced in uncertainty. Why was she bothered about us two knowing each other?“I don’t really know him, I met him back at the charity ball.” Her eyes widened and she chewed on her buttom lips, she was anxious and I didn’t like it. “He seemed to know who I was even though I had never met him before and then he introduced himself and family, The Greene’s are very much popular.” I added sitting up to get a better view. I made sure that my hands found hers and
Chapter 64Eden pov Whatever my father said to Percy on the phone had him on a rush, a rush that made me orgasm twice, too tired to move and too tired to say anything. He kissed my shoulders slowly while he held me in his arms. “What do you want to do?” He asked me brushing the hair on my head. I glanced up at him and stared in his eyes. “What I want to do?” I repeated. “I have no idea, I mean I’m not working and It’s pouring dogs and cat so it’s a no no for going outside, I swear I have no idea.”“We’ve not had breakfast yet, I could make you something and we could watch something afterwards, what do you say?” He offered, it was better than any other thing I could think of. “We could cook something up together.” I said pushing myself off him, he remained back in bed watching me pad around naked.“Nah, it’s fine. I’m offering to make you a meal, all you need to do is shower and get ready. His eyes raked through my body and remained on my lower body, my hips to be precise. “That
Chapter 65Kevin Greene POVShe was engaged? My Eden was engaged to the man I spoke to at the charity ball, this was interesting. Engaged to Percy Alexandro, why did that name ring a bell? The man sitting opposite me handed me the envelope which I inspected as I brought out the contents. Pictures. Just like I wanted. I stared at the images in front of me, there she was the girl who belonged to me in a fine red dress in the arms of Percy Alexandro. Then another picture was of the two of them in a pastry shop being cozy while eating donuts, the other photos had her smiling with Percy. She was happy. Way too happy. The girl I knew was the girl who was heartbroken, rejected and lost yet here she was happily engaged to a man she had just met and on their way to having a beautiful wedding.“That’s what you want to see, wasn’t it?” The gruff man opposite me asked, I glanced up at his face which had a small scar at the base of his chi
Chapter 66Eden POVIt’s been a two weeks since my encounter with Kevin, two weeks since he’s made any move towards me, two weeks since Percy started acting weird, not weird weird, but weird that we don’t spend as much time together. He had been spending more time in the office and returned late, too late that I wouldn’t catch him up.“Eden.”“Eden.” I snapped back to reality blinking repeatedly at Cole who had his eyes on me. “Yeah, sorry. Keep on going.” I said to him leaning back to the chair. “There isn’t a ‘keep on going’ if you don’t tell me where your mind is. You’ve been zoning out for a while and I’m telling you as a work colleague and not your manager that you need to get your shit together.” He dropped the paper in his hands down on the desk and clutched his palms together. “I'm fine. I just got distracted.” I answered smacking my red coated lips together. “So what where you saying?” “Did something happen between you and Percy?” he asked casting me a knowing glance. “
Chapter One hundred and Four Audrey POV “I know Eden-” I opened the bathroom door and brushed my messy hair backwards with my fingers. My eyes landed on the man sleeping in my bed, his bare chest was on display for me to see and his hands crossed over his face, blocking his eyes. My eyes trailed further down to where the Duvet stopped which was around his hips. He moved and my gaze reached up his face. “Audrey? Are you there?” Eden said through the phone and I blinked. “Yeah, i am.” I answered lowly while rubbing my neck, my fingers crossed one of the bruise on my neck. It was a love mark from Zach from last night. “So what do you say?” she asked and i moved closer to Zach who was still asleep, the bed dipped from under me as i sat on the bed. “You should go for it, i’m sure it would drive him crazy.” I giggled. I placed my hands on Zach chest and traced on the toned mucles of his chest. He stirred but doesn’t open his eyes. “Thanks Audrey- you’re a life saver.” She sighed in r
Chapter 103 Eden POV One month later “I can’t believe we’re going for this trip.” Maggie squealed as she adjusted the belt of her wrap dress. I stood in front of the mirror while i rushed my hair. “Better believe it.” I answered. Three daya back, Audrey suggested that we went out on vacation and today we were on our way to mauritius to spend the next two weeks. “Are you guys done?” Audrey strutted out in her short summer dress. She had her hair up in a neat bun. They were all making an effort with the dress and there was me. My black swweat pants sat on waist and my body hug crop top held the upper part of my body, revealing my toned muscles. I grabbed a scrunchy from the table and packed my hair in a messy bun and applied gloss afterwards. “Its how you make no effort yet still look as hot as a model from a cover magazine.” Maggie said as she grabbed her bag. I chuckled and grabbed my phone, Percy was yet to reply my text from the day before. The guys weren’t coming with us be
Chapter 102 Eden Pov He held unto my waist as his hands held me in place, blindly he kicked the door to the apartment shut. My hands held unto his shoulders for support as we moved further into the room. The lights flooded slowly as i kicked off my shoes and stood on my tiptoes to keep myself from falling out of the kiss. His lips held mine as the urgency to have me where he wanted. My hands fiddled with his jacket but i managed to peel if of his shoulders, his fingers around my waist detached as he helped me get rid of the material andd discard it to the side. His hands brushed against my hips and down to my thighs where he squeezed on the skin through the material of my dress. A soft moan escaped my lips and my eyes closed shut at the pleasure that caused through from his lips. He pulled away and stared at me for a moment, his fingers brushed a strand of hair away from my face to behind my ears. “You’re as red as a tomato.” he teased. “It’s all your fault, my body always reacts
Chapter 101Eden Pov“Surprise!!” I clasped my hands over my mouth as I found the entire group with happy faces, there was confetti and shiny decorations fixed up in the ceilings and the corners of the house.‘Okay, what in the world is going on?” I asked as I walked further in. Audrey and Maggie with a bouquet of flowers walked to me with bright smiles. “Audrey? Maggie? What's going on? What’s all this for?” “It's been three months since you started out with rebuilding your mother’s business-” Audrey started. “And you’ve done a great job with it that you're growing tremendously. As of yesterday We hit three times the quarterly report projection.” Cole said from behind me with a bottle of wine in his hands. “This is congratulations to you Eden, you’ve worked so hard amidst everything that was going on, you did it.” Coel said and the group cheered. My eyes watered as tears formed and my heart swelled.“Guys, you didn’t have to.” I stated.“Well, we know that, but we wanted to do it

The two were found unharmed as authorities were able to get to them before anything serious would've happened-” the tv went off and Percy dropped the remote on the glass table. “I was watching that.” Eden Protested and pulled her jacket tightly against her shoulders. “You don't need to see it,” he replied and raked his hands through his hair. “Are you ready?” he asked moving to where she was. She sighed and smacked her lips together. “Ready as I'll ever be,” she replied and reached for his hands which he held. He planted a soft kiss on the back of her hands and squeezed gently. As if it wasn't enough, she leaned further into him and kissed him. Percy held her waist as their lips moved together. “You two forget tha
Chapter 99Henry POVLucas Callahan and his sister were in my office when I got out of my meeting, it was unexpected seeing that their father was one of business rival, yet they were carefree about the places they went to. They must be the black sheeps of the family.“What are you two doing here?” I asked as my assistant walked away. “We need your help.” Audrey rushed without batting an eye lid.“I’m sure you’re at the be wrong place-““No we’re not.” the guy Lucas Argued, I spared him a quick glance and sighed. “It’s Eden. She’s been kidnapped.” My breath hitched and my eyes bulged. “What kind of game is that Kevin kid playing this time?” I snarled. Lucas and Audrey shared a look and turned back to me.“It’s not Kevin. It’s someone else- it’s Percy psychotic brother.”As we all walked towards the elevator while I typed away from my phone. There was no news going on about it yet and that was a good, for now.“Graham? How did it happen?”“I don’t know but Zach reached out to me and h
Chapter 98Percy povMy eyes burned into the head of Graham who was enjoyed me being tied up. How did I get here? I pulled my hands but they were restricted by the hard duct tape which was rounded around my upper body, my wrists were bound together by a thick rope.“How did you get me here?” I asked whilst struggling. Graham wouldn’t like me if I got free.“It doesn’t matter now brother, what you should be more worried about is yourself and her-“ he nudged to his right. With a grin on my face I turned in his direction and my eyes widened. Eden. She was hunched over, tied to the chair and unconscious. My heart thumped in my chest and anger cursed through my veins.“What did you do to her?!” I yelled at Graham who only laughed out loud and stared at me like I’ve lost my mind. “Oh, nothing much. I just gave her some sedative to get her not to scream.” He answered brushing some of his long hair backwards. “You sick bastard! I swear if you laid a single-““I don’t think you are in any po
Chapter 97Stella PovThe first time I heard of the name Eden Maverick, I thought it belonged to a nobody, but I was wrong. The first time I set my eyes on her on the internet, I had goosebumps and I rarely had goosebumps. I was Stella, Stella the supermodel. I was the one everyone wanted, except for Percy. He rejected me even after I brought myself low to apologize to him. He was supposed to take me back because they’re was no one else like me.And then I’m hit with the news that both of them were engaged and score to get married. There’s no way Percy would move on to marry anyone, he wasn’t going to marry anyone. “Stella, didn’t you say that Percy Alexandro was your ex?” One of the other models said in the changing room one day. We were preparing for a show and the hair stylist was working on my hair.“Yes why?” I answered with a slight raise. “I mean how can you break up with such a man, he’s hot as hell.” The girl fanned and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. “And he’s a gent
Chapter 96Eden povI hurried out of the car with grocery bags in my hands, I should’ve been back ten minutes ago but Audrey insisted I dropped off something for her at her apartment. Percy was back home alone and I didn’t like it, even after he assured me that he was going to be fine I just wanted to be with him. I pushed up to Audrey’s apartment which was unlocked, I sighed in relief when I pushed the door opened. “Audrey- I’m back!” I yelled and walked into her apartment with the bag tucked in my hands. There was no answer, maybe she was up in the bathroom? I placed the bag on the counter and turned to leave when I noticed a paper on the counter, it looked like a letter. It wasn’t any of my business so i ignored it. “Audrey! I’m leaving-“ “Eden?” My head snapped towards Zach who was standing in his sweats with no shirt on and the way his hair frizzled and bare chest glistened in sweat, I couldn’t help but raise my brow at him. “Oh Zach- you’re here.” I said. “Where’s Audrey?”
