Chapter 23Eden povTrigger warningThe lights came on as the door opened, he carried me to the bathroom and put me down in the tub, and pulled away.“Now that I think about it, I should’ve carried you to your room instead.” He said rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. I tried not to chuckle at his words.“Yeah, that’s what happens when you’re lost in the moment I guess.” I murmured. He doesn’t reply. His focus was on my face, and then he rose to his feet to turn on the water for a bath.“Where did you go to?” He asked softly sitting on the floor opposite me as the water slowly filled up the fancy tub. It wouldn’t hurt to tell him where I was at, would it?“If you’re going to ask me questions i also get to ask you too.” I bargained, he studied my face for a while and nodded in agreement.“I went back to my apartment- and and before you say whatever it is you want to say-“ he relaxed crossing his long legs on the ground. “I had to pick up something, it was important and it

Chapter 24Percy POVShe wasn’t answering even after knocking on her door like a maniac, I was getting frustrated by every second I stood waiting for her to get out of her room. Giving up I stalked down stared mumbling under my breath when I found her sipping from a cup, dressed and ready for work…“You’ve been here the entire time?” I paused with both hands on my waist. Had she been hearing me the entire time while I made a fool of myself? She placed the mug down and had a bite of the sandwich in her hands, from her straight face I could tell that she wasn’t going to answer me. “Is ignoring me part of the boundaries?” I despised the word. When she told me earlier this morning that she was the cause of everything that was happening, I couldn’t help but feel bad. Let’s not lie, if I mind my business and didn’t check what was in it, we wouldn’t be in this situation but still I was very much curious as to why she was taking them. From how hard she fought against me, it was certain th

Chapter 25Eden pov“Eden!” My head turned at the sound of my name. Zach. He was standing by the car when I exited the door, he has a broad smile and waved me over. I made sure he was referring to me and not someone else.“Yes, you.” He said jogging up to me, his hair bounced as the wind flushed through, now that I paid more attention to him I noticed how handsome he was, he carried a light hearted spirit that made it less difficult but why did he want to talk to me.“Sorry, I just didn’t want you to miss me.” He said breathing normally, he was fit, great.“Uhm-“ I frowned not sure why we were having this interaction. “Hi-““I was wondering if you wanted to grab diner with me.” My brows tugged upward in confusion. Was he really asking me out to dinner? “I know it sounds weird and sudden but I would really like to get to know you.” He added, my eyes searched his face, the smile and twinkle in his eyes. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea, besides I’m still working.” I answered rollin

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?”
