Chapter 11Eden povRing.Ring.Ring. The noise continued interrupting my sleep, blindly I reached for the device but was greeted with a cold surface. My eyes peeked open slowly bringing the bedside table into view, I reached for my phone and turned off the alarm. It was six, I needed to get ready for my morning run. “Arg-” I cried as I dragged myself out of bed. Something was off as I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. My hair was a mess and my face was not exactly pretty. My lips- My eyes widened in realization. Last night. Percy was here and we- we- “Please no.” I groaned and rushed out of my room. I had to be sure. Standing in the middle of the hallway I glanced from one door to another trying to figure out which was Percy’s room. A sound from behind the door at the end of the hallway caught my attention.“Bingo.” I mouthed to myself. Now that I was in front of the doors I knocked hard.“Percy!” I shouted in urgency. No response and I tried again. “Percy-

Chapter Twelve

Chapter 12Percy povI didn’t hear from Eden for the rest of the day, even with the tabs I’ve kept on her mothers company I’ve received no new report from my informant. Was she bluffing about the company? Or is she actually doing something concerning it. I tapped my pen on the table in a horrid rhythm.“If you’re not interested in what I have to say you should just say so.” Zachary, my best friend stated playing with the golden strand of his hair.“Sorry man, I just have a lot on my mind.” I answered in all sincerity rubbing my forehead. “Does this have anything to do with the hot woman you were seen with last night?” he beamed leaning forward with his eyes focused on me. “How-” I inquired.“You’re not a poor person Pierce. People with cameras are interested in you, they won’t keep shut once they find something juicy.” Zachary,, my best friend said brushing his light brown hair back. He was right, I was a billionaire my life wasn’t so private especially to desperate photographers.“

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13Eden povWe were both sitting in fathers office, my legs were crossed over each other and my hands across my chest in defiance. Percy on the other hand glared at me, he was mad for what I did. Serves him right.“Eden!” My father called abruptly and I turned to him. He was furious, even with his straight face I could tell he was mad at me too.“What in the world were you thinking?” he asked. “You should’ve talked to him.”“I should’ve talked? He was being a jackass, telling me I was going and I quote –” I air quoted. “Overboard. If you ask me that’s enough talking to me. If he’s not going to take my words seriously then maybe I should give him reasons why he shouldn’t mess with me.” “You didn’t have to break the glass of my car.” Percy fumed holding on to the edge of the chair tightly.“Glad I got your attention now.” I sneered unfolding my legs and leaned forward.“That’s enough, both of you. I didn’t call you here to hear you two bicker. I called you two here for the wedd

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter 14Eden povIt was a few hours to the agreed wedding photo shoot and I’ve not said a single word to Percy in the past four days. We’ve barely crossed paths and even when we did, I made sure not to allow any exchange.We were supposed to get to the studio at the same time in his car, so I left earlier by myself, I called Josh to come pick me up instead. When I got there, they were ready for me as so we prepared. “That’s how she broke off the bottle and cried for the rest of the day.” The woman working on my hair narrated. She was talking about her niece and I really didn’t mind listening to her, it managed to take my mind away from the fact that I’ll be standing really close to Percy. “So, where’s your fiancee? I noticed you came in here alone, didn’t you two come together?” I met her eyes through the mirror. “Uh-” These people didn’t know that we were married already. “Well he is on his way.”The door to the dressing room was opened and a younger girl with dark red hair pe

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter 15Percy PovThe moment Eden walked out from the dressing room in the white dress I didn’t expect to be disturbed, she had been ignoring me for the past couple of days and I’ve stayed on my own lane not wanting to interact with her in any way. Now that she was on the stage smiling at the camera as she had her pictures taken, it disturbed me. I watched her every move, unable to look away and she caught me several times staring but wouldn’t react at any point. “…..you need to show how much you love Miss. Maverick.” The words drummed in my ears. I held my glare as I stared at Lyon. Didn’t the man know I didn’t love her and wasn’t in the least that attracted to her. Then her eyes fell on me, challenging me to take up the dare and be the biggest actor in this place. Sure, I could act to be in love. It wasn’t the hardest thing to do. With long strides I covered up the distance between us, her chest and mine were few meters apart and I stared at her face. Her olive green eyes we

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter 16Eden pov“So are you going to do something about the security here? because I’m not sure I want to stay in a place where family members can waltz in without any heads up.” I asked watching him type away on his phone.“I didn’t know he would come here- heck I didn’t think he was out.” He sat on the couch rubbing his chin. Out? What did he mean by out? “I’ll handle it.” He assured me.“Good, I don’t need to worry about crazy people coming here unannounced.” I added walking to my room.“Wait- where did you find him when you got here?” “He was standing in the middle of the living room like a creep.” I answered. “No offense.” He ignored my crude comment about his step brother.“Did he say anything to you?” He inquired looking up at me. “What was his reaction when he saw you?”“Why would I take note of that?-“ the glare he gaze me shit me up.“Help me out here Eden, I don’t want to fight with you.” He sighed.“Fine-“ I searched through. Graham. There was something off about him

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter 17Percy pov“This is actually good food.” I commented placing the fork next to the empty plate. Eden who was taking a sip of from the wine glass rolled her eyes in the process. My eyes following as her throat bobbed as she swallowed, they stayed on her lips which were now stained. “My eyes are up here.” “I’m aware, I like he view from here.” I answered with a teasing smile, she carried her plate to the sink to wash them. As if pulled by magnet, I followed her and placed the plates in the sink.“Let me-” I offered gently displacing her from the sink. While I turned on the tap I could feel her eyes on me, she wasn’t expecting me to offer to wash. “Why are you being nice?” she finally asked. I rinsed the plate taking my time to answer her question. “Why?” I repeated.“Stop beating around the bush Percy,” Maybe I was trying to get her mind off the fact the Graham made a disturbing appearance today.“Is this about Graham?” she hit the bullseye without trying to hard, she is s

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter 18Violet PovThe banging on the door the next morning set me jolting up from the bed, my eyes were still trying to adjust to the light. Scrambling off the bed, I rubbed my face and the banging continued.“I’m coming would you-” I pulled the door opened facing Percy who was already dressed up. “Why are you trying to break the goddamn door? Do you know what time it is?”“You’re not dressed?” he eyed me still in my night wear. I was a walking zombie, my hair in a frenzied mess and my face probably puffed up too.“Dressed? What is going on?” I leaned on the door as I stared at him. He was in a navy blue suit with a white shirt dress inside, he glanced down at the watch on his wrist and then back at me. A deep sigh escaped his lips, the stubble on his chin was cleared and his face fresh and bright, his eyes filled with energy and his aura illuminating.“It’s been barely twelve hours and you’ve forgotten. You asked me to teach you how to run a company-” my eyes widened as he kept

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter 19Eden pov“You shouldn’t have flirted with him.”My anger was beginning to subside when he said to me, my fingers which were around the seatbelt clinged even harder. “I wasn’t flirting with the idiot.” I answered focused on the road in front of me, even though I wasn’t driving I didn’t let my eyes leave the front but that wasn’t the same for Percy who kept casting glances in my direction.“Yo-”“Maybe you should focus on driving and mind your business.” I pinpointed harshly. He doesn’t reply instead he took my advice and kept his focus on the road. Let me tell you one thing I despise, Entitled people. People who think they deserve whatever they want because of who they are. People like that infuriate me and the guy from the pastry house was one of them.I had my fair share with people like that, when mom was still alive she would come home upset and would tell me about entitled people, I hated how they made her feel. Sometimes she would go to her room after work and go st

Chapter Twenty

Chapter 20Percy POVHer expression when she entered my office was tainted and her brows already bringing out frowning lines. A lot of things pissed Eden easily and it made her an easy bomb.“What happened?” I asked taking off my glasses, she was too engrossed in her thoughts to even look at me. Instead she sat on the couch and closed her eyes.“It’s nothing.” She answered opening her eyes, Eden turned in my direction clearly irritated.“Eden-” I pressed holding her gaze, from how shaky her eyes was I knew this was a battle she wouldn’t win so I let her have it. I averted my haze somewhere else.“It’s too early to be upset, it’s barely eleven a.m.” I said opening a file on my desk, I skimmed over the information written down and heard the chair opposite me being pulled back. Even without looking up I know that Eden is there, her presence is hard to ignore so I spare her a quick glance.“What happens now?” she asked plainly. “What do you mean?” I reciprocated turning to my laptop.
