120|Once In A Lifetime Love
Eden stood with her back against the door, willing her heart to stop beating so hard in her chest.
She felt lightheaded and weak-kneed. Probably a normal sensation after being thoroughly ravished by the only man she was now certain was her once in a lifetime love—a revelation that came to her at some point between leaving her place last night and waking up in Liam's arms this morning.
The whole night was full of many revelations, actually, starting with catching Liam in a very compromising position with his ex.
Eden knew Laura had goaded her when she jumped Liam as soon as she saw her come out of the restaurant. But she had at least expected him to push his ex away immediately if he felt nothing for her like he kept saying. When he didn't, it was like Simon and Olive all over again, and the memory of being cheated on had reared its ugly head.
Seeing Laura so comfortable at Liam's side had made Eden realise something she had tried very hard to ignore f

It was still dark when Liam returned home after dropping Eden off, but the house should have been at least lively with Dave and the housekeepers as they got ready to start their day. It was surprisingly quiet, though, and the silence was even more deafening now that Eden was gone. Liam picked up the gift box with her dress and underwear and took it upstairs, smiling as he relived their conversation earlier when he asked for his shirt back. He was teasing her about the shirt, of course. But if he was honest, he liked having something of hers close to him. The smell of their lovemaking, still lingering in the air, hit him as soon he walked into his bedroom, and his eyes immediately fell on the tousled sheets, and he suddenly found himself missing Eden with a force that left him stunned for breath. He pulled out his phone and sent her a quick text. 'I miss you.' She replied immediately. 'You just miss fucking me, that's all.' Liam laughed and typ

Mathew called Eden into his office as soon as she came in and gently broke the news to her. She was being reassigned back to the CEO's office. Reeling from the announcement, she asked. "Why? Did I do something wrong?" "Of course not." Her boss shook his head. "If I could keep you, I would. But you were hired to work in Liam's area." "Until he got rid of me!" She reminded him. "I don't want to go." Matthew touched her shoulders gently. "Liam means well. You'll learn a lot in his space." "I fail to see how," Eden said stubbornly. "He sits in meetings the whole day; there's only so many minutes and reports and presentations I can take. At least in your area, I can work with the user experience and marketing teams—" Matthew waved her off. "Eden, don't make this difficult. He's already on the way here to get you. We both know why he wants you back. He needs you close to him. He's not comfortable when he doesn't see you." "I am not h

The girls were already seated in a corner booth, nibbling on their quesadillas and sipping their warm drinks, when Eden stepped into Rise in the food court some five minutes later. "Gah! I need something strong today!" She blew out an exasperated sigh and hid her face in her hands as soon as she sat down. "That bad, huh?" Cassandra asked, patting her back gently. "Here," Sienna murmured and slid the chai latte they'd ordered for her across the table. "Have something light instead. You'll thank me later when you wake up with no hangover tomorrow morning." "Thanks," Eden mumbled and stared broodily at her cup. "I must have been insane. Honestly, I think I've lost my mind. Why didn't you guys stop me when I applied for a job here?" "Well," Lydia smiled wickedly and shrugged. "We did, but you wanted Liam's dick so bad it was obvious anything we said wasn't gonna fly!" "Lydia!" Eden looked around the room cautiously, making sure no one had
Begin Again 124|Simple, Standard Stuff
Liam held the door for her, and she jumped in the backseat. He joined her a second later, and they pulled away from Anderson Logistics. "Where are we going?" Eden asked as they left the skyscrapers behind and sped towards Glen Eagles. "To see my parents since they couldn't make it for the board meeting," he replied, taking her hand in his and held it on his lap. She relaxed in her seat and stared at their entwined hands, liking the calloused feel of his palm in her soft one. Liam had good manly hands, thanks to the countless hours he'd spent in the past—back when he was still a motorsport driver—tearing apart his cars' engines and putting them back together again. Eden remembered watching one of his interviews once where he had given an in-depth guide to his car maintenance routine. "Are you nervous about meeting them?" Liam whispered in her ear as he pulled her close to him. His low, gruff voice sent sparks of awareness twirling at her centre
Begin Again 125|Make This Right
Liam's been back from lunch with his parents for a while now, but no matter how hard he tried to settle down for the afternoon and trudge through the thousands of proposals screaming for his attention, he couldn't. He pushed away from his desk and stalked his way to Matthew's office. "King Liam, twice in one day! To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit this time?" Matthew mocked him when he walked in and crashed on the couch. "Eden's old office," Liam said. "Don't you think there's something wrong with it?" "You mean apart from its size?" "Look at all the other offices; they're all cluttered with shit from their homes, family photos, travel boards, birthday cards." "So?" Matthew pushed away from the desk. "Eden doesn't have any of that. When I fetched her this morning, all her stuff fit in a small box." "Maybe she doesn't like clutter." "I get that," Liam blew out a frustrated breath. "But what about her son
Begin Again 126|Fashion Week
It was hard to be in Rock Castle in the last week of April and not be steeped in the fanfare and drama that came with Fashion Week. Even if Eden didn't have a ticket to her front-row seat, there was no way she would have missed out on any part of the weeklong festivities because Sienna had a backstage press pass to cover the daily shows. Lydia, too, had secretly recorded the entire opening event, giving her a sneak peek of what to expect when she attended her hump day evening show. By the time Wednesday rolled around, Eden was a bundle of nerves, unable to sit still or hold down anything she ate. It was her first Fashion Week and as close to a red carpet event she would ever attend, but she'd also chosen today to break the news to Liam about Aiden. It wasn't their impending talk, though, that had her stomach in knots; after all, she had the custody agreement to help smooth things over. Eden's biggest worry was finding the right outfit
Begin Again 127|House Of Cards
"Eden!" Laura was a picture of joy and politeness as she dazzled her with her megawatt smile. Eden could see right through her fake friendliness, though. But she smiled back anyway as she tried to side-step her. Laura quickly blocked her path. "Can we talk?" Eden didn't think they had anything to talk about, considering they didn't know each other very well. Before she could refuse, though, Liam's ex took her hand and pushed her to a dimly lit corner a few meters from the restrooms. "What's this about?" Eden demanded as soon as they were out of earshot and prying eyes. "I get to ask the questions, and you just listen," the other woman snapped, her saccharine smile vanishing as quickly as it had appeared, leaving a frostiness that chilled Eden to the bone. "Now, how long are you planning to keep this up?" "What?" She asked, baffled by the question. "Your innocent act," Laura murmured. "We both know you are hardly the saint that

Liam was neck-deep in reports and proposals when Clara knocked and came in with a tray of refreshments and his head of security in tow. She set the afternoon snacks on his desk and excused herself, but not before reminding him he had a 3:00 PM meeting with Matthew and the marketing team. "Mr Anderson, the report you asked for on Ms McBride and her son," James said when they were alone and handed him a brown A4 envelope. "You took your time," Liam murmured as he reached for his espresso and motioned for him to take a seat on the couch. "Ms McBride keeps her son out of the spotlight, and she doesn't seem to have any other social media accounts other than her I*******m. We had to do a bit of surveillance work." The head of security explained why it took his team a little over a week to get him the report. "What did you find?" Liam asked. His fingers were already ripping through the envelope, though. And within seconds, he came face to fac
