Chapter 40Eden POVMy head were on warm hard chest, and when my eyes fluttered opened there was I saw chiseled torso of Percy. His arms were wrapped around my waist and our legs tangled together. I remembered falling asleep last night and imagined what would’ve happened if I wasn’t so quick to go to bed. Slowly I was able to detach myself from his hold, a very deep sleeper he is. Or he was just tired. I quietly sat by his side watching him sleep, his jet black hair had been tossed around, his eyes were closed an this eye lashes surfed on his cheek home, my eyes moved down to hips lips. Lips that didn’t hesitate to put me in a trance, one that teased me in way I didn’t imagine. I reached out to touch them but stopped myself. You should let him sleep, my gaze trailed over his chest and down to his joggers, they were now my favorite piece of clothing. They had a way of outlining him that I wanted to see and wanted to know what it was
Chapter 41Percy POV When she came undone for the second time in my mouth I smiled triumphantly, with the way she held back the first time I could point out that she had never experienced this before.I released her hands from the shackles of the shirt she wore, with her chest heaving up and down I had a clear image of Naked Eden in front of me, perfectly molded breasts with darkened nipples which are really sensitive and currently hard, her flat torso showed how fit she was and then her thighs, hips and everything between. She was a work out art. She still had her eyes closed trying to catch her breath from the multiple orgasm she just had. I still tasted her in my mouth, her pleasure in my care. I leaned up to her face and studied her face, some of her hair had stuck to her forehead with sweat.“Open your eyes E, come on, look at me.” I directed her softly, her eyes fluttered opened at soft hazel eyes stared back at me.“Hey-“ I greeted with a soft smirk. She doesn’t respond immed
Chapter 42Eden povThe reaction on his face was what I looked forward to, when we crossed the front porch to the shooting ground I tried not to look smug. I had successfully gotten the satisfaction I wanted by shocking his sock off.“What other things are you keeping a secret?” he mused as I stood opposite him. “Hmm-” I tapped my chin pretending to think. “Who knows, guess you'll have to find out.”“You tricked me into getting to whatever you want for a week,” he smirked at me, for some reason he enjoyed it. “That's a cheap way to get at me.”“What do you need me to do?” he asked as we left the ring. I extended my hands out to him, his eyes tagged up wondering what my first request was.“Keys.” I said and watched his expression turn into a frown. Just as I expected he didn't want to, he was very protective of his car, after I wrecked the first one I'm sure he's already dreading the idea of me driving.“No-” I paused staring back at him defiantly. He clicked his tongue together and r
Chapter 43Percy POV“Hey- what do you think about getting-” the rest of my words burned out as I stared at her face, she was no longer the woman that I made out with a couple of minutes ago. Her eyes had dimmed and the way her fingers wrapped around her phone showed that what ever must have caused it started from her phone.She bit on her lips and avoid my gaze while I walked up to her.“Is everything okay?” I asked studying her face. She walked out on me without a word. She handed her card over to the cashier the same time I pulled out my card.The cashier glanced from me to her confused on which card she should take, Eden pushed her car into the cashiers hand.“Take mine instead.” I said to the Cashier who paused from accepting the card from Eden.“Dont. Percy.” Eden's voice was mold and firm, she was going back to her old self. Her eyes moved back to the cashier. “Take the card.” the cashier nodded and acce
Chapter 44Eden PovThe next morning I woke up with a banging headache on the couch of the living room. I brushed my hair away from my face as I adjusted to the light. Which I thought I could until the curtains spread wider and the entire ray kicked in cutting short my chances of protecting myself.“Shit-” I groaned, using my hands to protect my eyes. “What in the world- arg-” I laid back on the couch. My head felt heavy and my neck wouldn't be able to keep it if I moved so abruptly. The heavy scent of his cologne invaded my nose as he moved past me. He was already dressed in his crisp black suit and had his coat tucked in his arms. I managed to sit up while I rubbed my forehead. “What happened?” I asked myself. I closed my eyes, a method I used to think back. I remembered all of it, the message, the bitter words I spat to him in the car, my angry walk on the street and my careless visit to the bar. I glanced up to see where he was but he had his back turned to me. Pushing myself of
Chapter 45Eden PovCole Thatcher. He was a bundle of personality, he was precise with his words and had a way of expressing thoughts, a dignified Talkative.“Where did you say you graduated from again?” I asked staring at his face. A smile formed on his face and he crossed his hands over his shoulders as he leaned back in his chair. He was carefree. Way too much.“Not from an ivy league but I know my stuff and my numbers.” he answered. What he said was true from everything he had told me about the company in the past forty minute wasn't just accurate but also eluded my thoughts. He was just the person I needed.“Great, you're hired.” I said but he didn't seemed moved like he already knew that I was going to hire him. “Tell me Miss Maverick or Eden-”“Miss maverick, we're not on first term basis.” I eyed him briefly turning my attention back to my phone. “Sorry, my bad. Do we get to go to the headquarters then?”I hadn't thought about it yet, it danced around my mind but I discarded
Chapter 46Percy POV “Where is Eden?” Zachary asked as he walked into my office, “I didn’t see her out front and I expected you two to be together since- well,” he studied me when I didn’t reply and let out a sigh.“I let her off, she no longer works here.” I answered without raising my head up. The letters on my screen looked more interesting and didn’t cause me to think about a certain someone until now. “What happened this time? You two get into a fight again? Come on man-““She was clear on not getting too-“ I paused tapping my chin to get a suitable word. “Acquainted and suggested we go back to being enemies.” I completed returning my gaze back to the screen. Zachary stood in the middle of the room quiet, it was one of those things he did whenever he was trying to figure out what to say next. “Are you fine with it?” He asked“It’s not like I have a choice, she gets what she wants.” I answered non chalantly “I see- so you’ll be willing to put your feelings aside so what?- you
Chapter 47Eden POVI didn’t expect Percy to be back to the house when I stepped in, this was a first, I always beat him to the house but this time he was by the counter mixing up…..salad?He was dressed in a plain white shirt and grey sweatpants, his hair was damp meaning he was in the shower not too long ago. He was focused on the mixing he didn’t pay attention to me. I watch his muscles bulge as he moved them in slow precise motions. I cleared my throat and remembered that I was standing there just watching, as if that wasn’t creepy. His head snapped up at me holding my gaze.“You’re back,” he started, cleaning his hands with a kitchen towel. “Why don’t we have dinner?”“No- I’m good.” I answered abruptly heading towards the stairs. I could feel his eyes on me every step of the way.“Just Dinner Eden- we don’t have to talk to each other through it,” he said, i stopped contemplating if I should accept or just stay hold up in my room. My stomach groaned loudly giving an answer to n
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?”
