The Billionaire I Must Love Chapter Fifty: Friends?
Chapter 50Eden PovWe made an entrance as Percy handed the keys to the valet. With his hands around my waist, we walked in calculated steps towards the stairs of the Callahan’s hall. We stopped in front of the red carpet to pose for the camera, with a broad smile and Percy’s hold I stayed still while the lights flashed in my eye. “Right here Mr. Alexandro,”“Miss. Eden, look this way.” One of the photographers called out to me“Yes, just right.” Their voices toppled over one another as they tried to gain our attention, it was being unbearable to keep up with the noises and the lights and Percy saw my discomfort, his hands led me away from the carpet ignoring the calling from the group. We finally got away and entered the building which was already bubbling in excitement as people of different caliber interacted. “Just as big as ever.” Both Percy and I turned to Audrey who was right behind us. “Father doesn’

Chapter 51Percy povI stared at where Eden had disappeared into, it had been a while and she wasn’t back yet. I picked up a glass from the passing tray, I needed some form of sweetness down in my system. Someone from behind bumped into me and I managed to keep my drink from spillling off into my jacket. “Sorry man, I didn’t mean to hit you.” The ma standing in front of me was young, he had deep brown hair and soft blue eyes which seemed grey under the lights. He had a clear face with prominent cheekbones and a dimple on his cheek as he talked.“It’s fine.” I told him eyeing his outfit, he wasnt like the rest of the older men and he seemed to be here alone. Nothing about him looked familiar yet some part of me felt like he was someone I knew. “Kevin, Kevin Greene. You’re Percy Alexandro.” He said stretching his hands out to me for a hand shake, I accepted it and he held me firmly. “You know me?” I didn’t hide the frown on my face. “I picked it up among the guests, it’s my first d

Chapter 52Eden povI woke up in his warm arms around my waist as he spooned me. It was another night where I didn't spend the night alone, another night where I didn't take my meds. I sighed as I think back on all that had happened. One memory from last night disturbed me. It disturbed me a lot, because I thought I saw him right at the ball. He shouldn't be there but I saw him, did he follow me? “What are you thinking of? You'll have frown lines permanently etched on your face if you keep frowning this early.” he whispered.I sighed and tried to peel his hands away but he wouldn't let me.“I need to go.” I said but he moved further into me, his bare chest pressing against my back.“No you don't.”“Percy- remember what this is.” I said and he let me go. I didn't mean to use this card on him but it was necessary to keep things in check. I shiffled out of bed clearly aware that I am in his shirt and head out the door. I sighed in relief with my back against the door and my eyes shut.
The Billionaire I Must Love Chapter Fifty-Three: Heart to heart
Chapter 53Eden POV I didn't understand why she wanted to be buried here, the place that brought her the most misery. The place that broke her heart. I stared at the stone again, where her body supposedly laid. “I didn't come with flowers today.” I said shoving my hands in the pocket of my coat. It was getting windy and the sun danced between the rain clouds forming far ahead. I chewed on my bottom lips and glanced around the burial ground. It was empty, with two people leaving back to their car parked at the end of the road. Finally alone I squatted down and touched the slate, my knees reached the ground for more comfort and I stretched out my fingers to touch the print in it. “I'm doing with everything you wanted, the company is still growing, I got a manager. Cole, he's great at what he do, can be annoying at least but smart too. And then there's percy.” I smiled brushing away the tear that slipped down my face.“Percy Alexandro- and for some reason ma, i feel like I've known
