The Billionaire I Must Love

Chapter 2Eden povI agree that I’ve not been having the best night rest this period, that would explain a whole of things, especially this one. There was no way I was hearing correctly.“She’s quiet.”“This has to be the most stupidest joke I’ve heard all year,” I snapped at Percy who was watching me patiently. I turned to dad who had his chin resting on the back of his hands. His face was stoic making his expressions hard to read.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked him. “You didn’t tell her before now-” Percy turned to my father with a brow shot up. My eyes were running miles along my heart, this had to be a joke. A stupid prank from the universe.“Eden- the-”“Tell me what in the world is going on? I want answers. REAL ANSWERS.” “He’s right. Percy here is the man you are going to get married to.” My father answered calmly, like he had not dropped a bomb on me.“This is a joke. There is no way this is happening.” I shot out of the chair like it had fire and carried my bag. “I’

Chapter 4 Percy POV “Now that you’ve helped him be a guard dog you can very much leave right now.” I slammed the door behind me. She did not just say that? What was she trying to do? Provoke me. “Fuck!!” I cursed running my hand through my hair. Give it to Eden for being foul mouthed, she knew that those words weren’t what I wanted to hear, she knew it would piss me off, heck it would piss anyone off. After she fell into me last night, I didn’t expect her to tell me to take her wherever. She was wasted and out of her mind, she babbled in short breaths and few words, this was her coping with all that had happened. Her father had told me about her mother passing away and from the look in her eyes, I could tell that Eden was wrecked by all of it. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Few days back “What do you want Henry?” I glanced up from my laptop computer and focused on the man in front of me. Even at sixty, Henry Maverick was a man in his prime, his silky black hair

Chapter 6Eden POVIt was Sunday and I haven’t heard anything from both my father and Percy. I rolled to my side on the bed with my hands clutched in my fingers. “What’s taking you guys so long?” I muttered in annoyance as I placed the device down giving it a bit of breathing space. I fall on my back again and started at the ceiling, the smooth white surface stared back at me, it would look great if it had a bit of color, I thought. My phone dinged and with the speed of light I reached for it and got up on my feet when I saw that it was a mail. With no hesitation I clicked it opened and stared at it. It was from Percy. I didn’t get to scroll when my phone began to ring.An unknown number flashed across my screen making me frown, I contemplated picking when it ended and a message came in.Pick up. It read. My frown deepened again and in few seconds my phone began to read again. Not wanting to look so desperate, I waited, counting to four before I pressed on the green button.“Stalling

Chapter 8Livid. When the car stopped in front of A&M’s and the valet opened the door, I was ready to throw daggers at Percy Alexandro’s head without blinking. The valet smiled at me but I was to engrossed with skinning the man I was meant to be tied to.“Miss Maverick?” I turned as I entered the building, a man in charred black suit stood with his hands by his side. “We’ve been expecting you, right this way please.” He directed leading me up to a private floor at the top of the building. Just as expected when the doors opened, I was greeted with an almost empty space, the interior was everything minimal yet sophisticated. The only table that was occupied was situated down the south far away from the windows.“Thank you.” I said to the man and walked further into restaurant. Father had a clear view of me while the man I plan on killing later was had his back facing me. Percy didn’t bother to look as my heels announced my arrival, it wasn’t new. It was expected and yet his body was te

Chapter TenEden PovHis penthouse was massive, the interior was dark and gloomy, no surprise there. He walked in and the lights came on, it was a mix of black and dark blue with some Grey. The space was calm and lonely.“You stay here alone?” I asked as I walked further taking in the environment.“You don’t see anyone else do you?” He answered walking further into the room. He walked towards the window which parted as he closed in. It was so unreal, after mom and dad separated, we stayed in a less fancy space which fit in our style.This was spectacular, he was a billionaire no wonder he could afford an exclusive space like this.“So what happens? I’m here now, legally tied to you. I’m tired and need to sleep-““You can take any of the rooms upstairs.” He interrupted me as he paced towards the counter to grab a drink. Ice in a stunt glass and from the looks of it, a whiskey.“You’re drinking?” I asked and he paused his fingers rolling over the tip of the glass.“After the chaotic day
