The Billionaire I Must Love Chapter Twenty-six
Chapter 26Eden povI never really understood what happened to Percy that day, neither did he try to explain what was going on. We kept our distance as I wanted, no talk at home, small talk in the office. It was just as I desired until the day our pre wedding pictures flooded the internet. I was coming from grabbing a coffee from the break room when I noticed the eyes on me. Half of the people around were staring at me and occasionally having glances on their phones, it was obvious that what they had seen was jaw dropping. While I ignored the stares and entered the elevator a hand stuck out to stop it from closing, it was no other than Audrey.I sipped my coffee while staring at my phone screen, the current chairman of mums company wanted to schedule a meeting with me, the board meeting was soon and he wanted to know when ill be free.“Uh- I didn’t know you two were engaged.” Audrey started staring at me, her eyes glazed over my head and my fingers. I ignored her comment and typed

Chapter 27Percy povEden didn’t protest as we left the office, she had been on her phone checking on something I couldn’t lay hold on.“How are you?” Seriously? You’re asking? If I wasn’t driving I would’ve smacked my hands to my head, if anyone had the worst timing it would be me.“I’m fine. I guess.” Her respond caught me off guard, her eyes dropped to her phone again. This small talk was killing but it was better than nothing. “You didn’t tell me that Audrey’s family invited us for dinner.” Oh, so she did know. How smart is she to put two and two together?“How did you manage to put two and two together?” My fingers drummed on the wheel in anticipation, Eden Maverick didn’t seem to amaze me, sometimes I wonder what’s going on in her head.“The first day I spoke to her, there was something about her tone that set of my suspicion. It was faint but I could hear the trail of queens and back there in the elevator I caught a whiff of her perfume and I remember it cause it was a few da

Chapter 28Eden POV The black dress in the mannequin, they’re was something in his eyes when he asked for the dress. The only thing I could do is stare as the ladies rushed to bring out the dress, apparently they had another one. I turned to Percy again waiting to find out why he was doing this.“You really don’t have to worry Eden, it’s just a dress. You should know you deserve more.” He said, it was equally hard for me to understand the context of his words. Percy was being nice- way too nice. “Would you follow us this way to try on the dress.” With an encouraging smile from Percy I followed the attendants to the changing room, they handed me the dress and left me alone. Changing out of my skirt and chiffon top I examined the dress in my hands, the sheer lace material were comforting in between my fingers, I followed the intricate design by the side and stared at my reflection in the mirror with the dress against my body. “This is insane.” I muttered to myself while tugging on t

Chapter 29Eden POVIt was a mistake thinking I could get ready without Percy, after I had a bath and washed my hair. I stood in the midst of my bathroom with my fingers on both sides of the sink. My hair was in a bunch underneath the towel, wet and unattended too. “You can do this, you can do this. Less than an hour, you can do this.” I applied moisturizer while listening to Lana Del Ray, something about her voice carried me as I strengthened my hair, I had a mini concert as I put on my lace back underwear, I applied my make up next. It was soft and chic yet defined sophistication. With pouty lips I posed in front of the mirror and took a couple of pictures, what would Percy’s reaction be if I sent them to him? The evil thought danced around in my head and I waved it away.“Don’t get ahead of yourself, no need to imagine things that wont happen.” Pushing the disappointment aside I grabbed the bag when I heard the door open. I was the only one at home but the doors were locked, the

Leave a comment on who your favorite character is so far and why.-loveEden povThe car slowed down at the huge brass gates, the security team came to his side of the window and Percy complies taking the windows down, they were quick with the check and let us through with a wave. There wasn’t any building insight, the roads were lined up with tall tree which covered up so much that hindered your sight, the streetlights washed down on the road and each post lit up inside the Car as we passed them. Percy’s fingers drummed on the wheels and his free hands drummed on his laps absentmindedly, even with his eyes on the road I could tell that he was anxious.“Why did you agree to come here if you’re not totally good with it?” I asked turning to him, he held wheels with both hands. “You could’ve just said no, you re
The Billionaire I Must Love Chapter Thirty-one: Tables turning
Chapter 31Percy’s POV“You’re here for dinner and not to kiss your girlfriend in front of the family Percy, show some respect.” A calm feminine voice said and I pulled away from Eden, Jade had backed away just nicely with a smirk on her lips.“I was just making sure that Jade got the message.” I replied holding Eden close to me. Rachael Callahan, the female Alpha of the Callahan family stood in a pure white dress, with her platinum blonde hair complimenting her pale skin she stood with a sense of authority. Her red lips were in a thin line, never smiling and the least excited for anything. She didn’t hate me but she also didn’t fancy me as much. She eyed Eden slowly like a predator, when she got her fill she “Come, it’s time for dinner everyone should settle down and Jade tonights not the time, you don’t want to be the most woman who breaks up the biggest engagement in the entire city.” With one last glance she turned on her heels and left us alone. Overwhelmed by her daring aura,

Chapter 32Percy POV “So how long is this fake engagement going to last for?” Donovan asked without looking at me.“Dad!”“This isn’t fake Donovan, in as much as it makes me feel Percy is smitten by this one.” Greta said cutting through the steak in her plate. “He bought her the Bermuda Black diamond.”“Shit. There’s no way that can be fake.” Josh muttered out loud while the rest of the table zeroed in on Eden’s finger. “That’s – Percy wouldn’t buy something that expensive for a girl, “ Jade stuttered glancing from me to Eden.“I thought so too, until I saw her wearing it to the office the next day.” Audrey stated walking into the room, “They work i the same place-““I guess instead of Assuming we should ask the couple instead.” All eyes skimmed to us, and Eden who I feared for kept her cool. Dapping her lips with the napkin she raised her head high with a smile.“

Chapter 33 Eden POV With Percy gone, Lucas and I were left alone. He didn’t say anything and so did I but it was getting awkward. “So Lucas, what do you do?” really smooth Eden, really smooth. I gave him a soft smile hoping he didn’t find me bland. He lit up at my question and faced me. “I’m a designer.” He answered. Now that he mentioned it, I noticed his outfit, not the basic suit you would see, the pattern was different from everything I’ve seen. “Did you design what you’re wearing?” he nodded and turned for me to take the full image in. I’m not going to lie the guy is talented. “Yes, I designed what I’m wearing.” “Wow that’s awesome, if I had such talent I would never spend a day shopping for clothes.” That was true, I wouldn’t have to go through the torture of shopping of endless clothes. “Well, thank you for pointing that out but my parents think I’m wasting my time. You know, I have no intention of taking over the family business and my parents especially my mother isn’t

The Billionaire I Must Love Chapter One Hundred and Four: Zach And Audrey
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.

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

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?

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.

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?”
