Chapter 51Percy povI stared at where Eden had disappeared into, it had been a while and she wasn’t back yet. I picked up a glass from the passing tray, I needed some form of sweetness down in my system. Someone from behind bumped into me and I managed to keep my drink from spillling off into my jacket. “Sorry man, I didn’t mean to hit you.” The ma standing in front of me was young, he had deep brown hair and soft blue eyes which seemed grey under the lights. He had a clear face with prominent cheekbones and a dimple on his cheek as he talked.“It’s fine.” I told him eyeing his outfit, he wasnt like the rest of the older men and he seemed to be here alone. Nothing about him looked familiar yet some part of me felt like he was someone I knew. “Kevin, Kevin Greene. You’re Percy Alexandro.” He said stretching his hands out to me for a hand shake, I accepted it and he held me firmly. “You know me?” I didn’t hide the frown on my face. “I picked it up among the guests, it’s my first d

Chapter 53Eden POV I didn't understand why she wanted to be buried here, the place that brought her the most misery. The place that broke her heart. I stared at the stone again, where her body supposedly laid. “I didn't come with flowers today.” I said shoving my hands in the pocket of my coat. It was getting windy and the sun danced between the rain clouds forming far ahead. I chewed on my bottom lips and glanced around the burial ground. It was empty, with two people leaving back to their car parked at the end of the road. Finally alone I squatted down and touched the slate, my knees reached the ground for more comfort and I stretched out my fingers to touch the print in it. “I'm doing with everything you wanted, the company is still growing, I got a manager. Cole, he's great at what he do, can be annoying at least but smart too. And then there's percy.” I smiled brushing away the tear that slipped down my face.“Percy Alexandro- and for some reason ma, i feel like I've known

Chapter 55Eden povPercy didn't try to push me when he parked the car, all the way back home, het never asked me a question throughout the entire ride. He followed closely behind me as we reached the elevator and pressed in the button before I could.We entered the elevator and waited for the door to close. His hands grazed mine, making me look up at him.“What happened?” He started gently turning to me. His face was calm and plain. “I just remembered something.” “No you didn’t, your face was pale Eden, your eyes looked like you’ve seen a ghost, what did you see?” He asked, he had caught into my bullshit already. “I thought I saw someone.” I replied, it was half the truth, I did think I saw someone I knew, someone I didn’t expect to see soon.“Who?” He pressed on and the doors opened giving me that freedom to walk away from him.“It’s no one.” I replied hoping he would just drop it.“No it’s not Eden, don’t do this now.” I whipped around to face him. “I’m not doing anything.” I

Chapter 57Eden Pov Flash back continue“When is Derek coming around?” Tabitha asked as she brushed her hair with a small comb, she glanced at , Thme through the mirror, i tugged on the rope holding the small box on my desk together.“He should be here by seven.” I answered putting a piece of chocolate in my mouth. She turned to me leaning on the dresser. Her crop top rolled up a bit revealing ai bit of her pierced navel. If she wasn’t keen on being a solid Woman in STEM, Tabitha should’ve been a model, with long legs to kill for and a face that sells the look.Even in her current outfit she looked stunning.“Eden- can I ask you something?” She started, there it was the question I was hoping she’ll ask.“Sure,”“Do you like Derek?”I paused with the next piece of chocolate in my hand, my eyes slacked to the box in front of me.“No, I don’t.” I answered calmly even though I Could hear my heart beating in my ears. Tabitha hazel eyes held mine as she studied me. “Eden you don’t have t

Chapter 59Eden povI turned on my heels and caught sight of him right across the street in front of the black sports car. He didn’t look any much different from college, and the discomforting aura he carried still hovered around.Right there, my mouth turned dry and my eyes momentarily widened. His blue grey eyes bored into mine, his hair had been slicked back and shone under the sun, he still had the buff frame he worked so hard to get and his cocky smile still imprinted on her lips, Kevin Greene never changed. I dropped my hand to my side squeezing hard on the device. Kevin mirrored my action and walked over to me, my eyes remained on him as he crossed the road until he was righ in front of me, at his towering height of 6’2, even with my heels I didn’t come close. “Hey, didn’t think you’ll be the first person I see when I get here.” He said pocketing his hands in his pants. “What-what are you doing here?” I mouthed instead, my voice was hoarse and faint nothing like I wanted it t
