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 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 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 48Percy POVIt was difficult to keep my mind intact with what I had seen, the wine across her laps with her spread thighs, and then those panties. It was the same one I picked out for her that day, and now she had it on display for me to see. My brain and body responded to the sight and I let out a low groan while blood rushed down south.She's tortouring me without even trying. I walked out of my room and found myself in front of her door, reaching for the knob at the same time I heard it, it was low but clear. It was my name, from her mouth. The sight in front of me made me understand why, she had her fingers in between her things and her back arched with eyes closed and lips parted in pleasure. “Fuck-” the curse left her lips and her eyes opened to the ceiling. It was clear that she imagined that I was the one doing all those things to her and the thought had me aching to rush over and touch her but I remembered her words, it restrained me. I didnt want to cross the thre

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’
