Harvey scoffs after getting a text from his friend Jacob. He and the guys are meeting in their favourite club today to celebrate his birthday. "Now they remember me," he shakes his head and looks at Eden, "Can you work tonight?"   "Yeah. Where are we going?"    "The usual club. The guys are gathering there."   "You mean the friends you haven't seen for months?" Eden lifts a brow, "They're still alive?"   "I bet their new friend bailed on them," Harvey laughs, "Let's see what they have to say tonight." he opens his laptop to get Jacob a present.   

Two swords pierced Eden's heart at the same time, and the pain haunts his entire body and consumes his mind. He walks in the streets without fixing a destination. His feet lead him from an alley to another until he finds himself in places he's never been before. At twenty years old, when Eden was supposed to make new friends, go to parties, do extracurricular activities, Olivia got pregnant, and his entire life changed. A nuclear bomb dropped, destroying every career opportunity and every sparkle of happiness from his life. He blamed himself before. That night, he only thought about pleasure. He didn't consider the consequences of not using a condom. But blaming himself was only a waste of time and energy — which he needed during Olivia's pregnancy. Her parents nearly forced her to get an abortion, which was probably a better way considering their age. Getting rid of the foetus could have saved their twenties, their golden years at university. But Eden couldn't bea

"What do you mean he left?!" the Chairman arrived this morning to find out his son left without words. "Why would you let him?!" he scolds the bodyguards, who stand in line in front of him.  "He left with the Young Mistress, sir," says Grayson with a confident tone. He's the only bodyguard who doesn't look scared of the Chairman. "We could not stop them," "Katherine?" Sebastian lifts a brow, "She was here?"  "Yes, sir," Grayson nods, "She spent two weeks here and left with the Young Master," "Ungrateful brat," mutters Sebastian, "She disappears for years and comes back when she feels like it. Having a daughter is useless anyway," he stops in front of Eden and frowns, "And you? I thought I hi

Kian looks at the grey walls surrounding him, feeling the cold metal of the chair brushing his skin over his shirt. He doesn't try to escape even when he knows he can. He refuses to disappoint once again. Tyler watches him from the corner, nervously biting his nails. It's the first time they deal with someone close to them. Grayson finds nicotine his only appeaser for now. He slowly exhales the smoke and comes back to find refuge in the cigarette. Grayson doesn't stop looking at Kian, laughing from time to time—at himself mostly—for not suspecting him one bit. He crosses his legs and rests his elbow on the desk behind him. "From all the people in this city..." Grayson starts with a lazy and deep voice, "...you were the last man I expected to see in that hangar," Kian gulps and lowers his head. "I should have known," continues Grayson, "That you only got close to me to extract inform

Eden watches Leo eating his burger, swinging his legs under the table. It's weird to come to Great Burger without Harvey. After all, he was the one who showed them this amazing place. It was Leo's suggestion to come here after he finished school. Maybe he misses Harvey.  "You know, papa," Leo takes another bite of his burger, "Two of my classmates have divorced parents too," Eden's chest tightens as he worries Leo might be too affected by his separation from Olivia. "A lot of couples divorce," he says with a gentle voice, "Sometimes they live happier separated," he wipes the ketchup from the corner of Leo's lips, "And don't speak with your mouth full, buddy,"  Leo giggles, "Sorry, papa," Eden smiles and ruffles his hair, "What do you want to do next?"
