Chapter 26
Edward Pov
After the blow that Alice let loose at my birthday party, there wasn't a person or thing on earth that could lift up my spirits. Bella was living in Malibu and I was still in our home, a home that we've built together with the idea of raising our own family.
I was literally going crazy without her and now that she was living in Malibu I was desperate to know her every move. Fabricating my own ideas of what her activities consisted in since she was living by on her own. Was she going to meet someone else? Was she going to forget me?
I don't care what I had to do but I wasn't going to let that happen and this divorce wasn't going to happen either because I am overindulged by Bella. She's the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about when I fall asleep. Bella had given up on fighting for our marriage but if I had to do it for the both of us than I will. This was going to be power vs power, two strong minded people that wanted the opposite but felt the same thing, love. The sentiment that still had my faith alive and that alongside my other abilities were going to bring us back together.
I was going to force Bella to open her eyes because she was facing away from the situation at hand and if she wants that divorce, she is going to have to convince me that she doesn't love me anymore. To complete this goal I was going to need construct some inside jobs involving several individuals that wanted us to be together, and I'm not talking about our parents.
Bella Pov
I finally finished moving into my new Malibu home. It was almost a miracle that I found this place, a real rarity in real estate and the perfect size for me. My assistant Ana was always my savior, helping me unpack my stuff and checking that every single item has made it to the house.
"Thank you lord, we are done!" she sighed in relief after almost 8 hours of manual labor.
"I am so exhausted but glad that we pushed through. I don't want to be one of those people with half of their stuff still packed by the end of the first month" I smack myself on my new king size bed and cuddle into my luxurious pillows, since I was going to need something to hold on to. It's been a month since the anniversary party and two weeks after his birthday and it was the first birthday that I missed and the last one I would be married to him. Even though I was lucky enough to move on physically from him I couldn't get him out of my heart or mind and it pained me every single day not being able to see him.
Of course they were personal choices that were necessary for me to start detaching myself from him but he always managed to come back in even when it was unintentionally. I cried for almost an hour at a coffee maker that I bought for the house because it reminded me of him and his obsession with the stimulating beverage.
"No word from Edward?" Ana asked, while folding the last of the boxes that were holding a small part of my shoes.
"No and I think it's for the best. We are both are starting to acquire our new lives and won't need to see each other until our first divorce session"
"I know you've been asked this a million times these past weeks but how does it feel"
"It feels weird. Some days I feel fine and some days I feel like I am totally alone, being shot out from a plane with no parachute. I was fortunate to get this house but there are moments which I think that I've made a terrible mistake"
"That's totally normal Bells"
"I feel like I never gave Edward a true space for him to explain himself in depth. Our relationship was hit with one secret after another and I was so upset that I just didn't let him talk out of fear that it would just be another lie"
"You both probably need this separation or maybe just a temporary one…I mean just until you figure out your feelings"
"Ana, I don't want to be that kind of person to regret my choices, I'm getting a divorce, that's my reality" she looked at me. "Bella, love is not a weakness. I don't intend to meddle into your life with Edward but if you haven't figured it out now four months later than you are having doubts, and that's not a bad thing".
Ana's intervention was the situation I was going through but didn't want to say out loud. Many would say that it wasn't my fault for being in this place in my life and that I had all the right to move on but I had to admit to myself that some of my choices in actions and words were poorly constructed, based on reasons that were beneath me. I met a man and fell deeply and irrecoverably in love with him because he made me beautiful every single day, since we met until the day I found out about those hidden skeletons. I got over those skeletons for a few weeks now but what was holding me back from getting back together with him was the lack of trust and the Parker-Grimaldi merge that would always be over my head and over my interest.
The next day as the sun hid itself to travel to the other side of the world. My sister Angela had planned a housewarming party at the house. It wasn't a big blowout but there were enough people to fill up the space inside and out. I greeted each and every person that walked into the house since its considered good manners for the owner to receive the guests of a housewarming party.
"Thank you for doing this Ang"
"I had to do it. It's a new beginning and I want it to have the perfect start and you know I love to plan a good get together" we talked while nursing on a mint julep that was served in the traditional metal cup.
"We have to end this early because she has another event at 10 pm" Sarah joked since it was known Angela's love for party planning.
"You're so funny Sarah. I really hope your breast don't leak on that pretty dress"
"Leak?" I was utterly confused by the conversation. "I have what you call breast at risk. She's talking about my breast milk because I forgot to put on my breast pads and my boobs are seriously at risk of popping a milk load".
"Wow you need pads for that?" I was fascinated by this information. "Yes and they are like two pasties that you put on your nipples to capture any leaking breast milk. I have to have them on when Luciana is not attached to them".
My face was combination of enthrallment and bizarre expressions.
"You'll see when you get pregnant and your case will be worse than mine because your breasts are going to be like DD's by the time you breastfeed. Mine look like yours right now and you're not even pregnant"
"I practically have to start by dating someone and get remarried for that to become a possibility" I retorted, that comment made the conversation turn slightly awkward.
"At least you can have a new life" Sarah tries lift up the exchange.
"I really wish I didn't have to change it at all even though you're right. I now have to start straight from the beginning and meet someone. You've been with Jacob for almost seven years before you had Luciana. It's great that I'm still young, I'm turning 24 in September for crying out load but you two as my sisters undoubtedly understand how sucky it is can be to shut an entire relationship down with someone that you are still in love and maybe have a case of not shaking that person off of your life. I have one weakness and that's Edward and it so happens to be the most dangerous one."
"Dangerous?" Alexa came around to the outside patio where we were talking and at us. Sarah was quick to intervene. "Leaky boobs. I'm having a terrible case of it"
"Ugh your talking about your breastmilk, I was forced to watch you being milked like a cow by that pump machine. You're lucky that Lucy is adorable and was cooing at me while you were doing it."
"My daughter is the most beautiful thing on this planet" it was so great to see how happy Sarah and Jacob were having Luciana in their lives.
"I'm telling you she looked so weird pumping and getting her makeup done for the show" she moved her head with her eyes closed by the flashback. "Don't look so disgusted Alexa, this will happen to you too someday"
"I'm turning 18 and going to college next year, if something happens I'm going to be safe. I know you guys certainly had your fun in exception for Bella"
"I'm so glad I told you guys about my virginity status" I said in pure sarcasm while taking another sip
"Hey, we lived it up and that's the most important thing. At least you're going to be smart with the guys you are with" Sarah pointed out.
"Uh duh… I'm not stupid and mom would literally have a stroke if I got pregnant. Wait! We are off topic. I came to tell Bella that there is a delivery for her on the table. I took the liberty to sign it for you" she smiled widely and raised her eyebrows in excitement.
"Alexa…it's probably from the studio or from Amazon"
"I love Amazon! I get so turned on to see that package at my door" Sarah added
"Okay calm down. We don't need specifics"
"I'm pretty sure that Lucy was conceived on one of those Amazon package arrival days, even though he wants to say that it was on our romantic trip to the Cancun" Alexa looked at her and then quickly took my hand to pull it. "C'mon Bella you need to see it!" why was she so adamant to see it?
I almost tripped as she pulled me into the house towards the dining table. There was a vase of what seemed like beautiful pink orchids.
"So pretty and there's a card too"
"I would like to think that you haven't read it but I must be wrong by that overwhelming grin on your face" Alexa was very gossipy like that.
I'm standing in our home staring at my surroundings, but my mind keeps drifting back you to and how good we are together. I can still taste the sweetness of your lips against mine; the feel of your skin as I slide my fingers along your silky smoothness.
It's the simple things about you that turn me inside out; but, when we kiss, I burn raw... deep down inside. I crave that next kiss; the one that always leads to more.
E.
"Alexa, you shouldn't have read this" it was inappropriate.
"But I did and I find it to be an intriguing letter from a man that calls himself E" she grins
These orchids and the letter were from Edward, a letter that showed his clear attentiveness towards me and his motivations of getting me back. His message was a direct statement of his intentions, taking a usage of the mysterious and determined man that made it no secret of wanting something. The same man he was when we first meet.
"You know who it's from and so don't get excited" I suddenly felt Sarah snatch it from my hands and ready it with Angela peering her eyes at it as well.
"Wow… Grimaldi is back after his failed attempts with sending the flowers to grandma's house".
"He can't do this…"
"Nonetheless he is and he's apparently gotten pretty good at writing letters"
"We're getting a divorce he can't be sending me gifts and letters...I have to send them back"
"No!" They all whined at the same time. "Why are going to send them back? They are perfectly good flowers and they are going to probably die by the time he receives them".
"Lex can you put them in my room. I don't want everyone to be suspecting from who they're from" I picked the pink arrangement and passed it to her. "Fine" she conceded and the flowers were carried the crowd and upstairs.
"Edward definitely works fast, how did he get your new address?"
"There are a million and one possibilities on how he got ahold of Bella's address" Angela claimed.
"I'll leave him voice message later"
"You still have his number?" Sarah questioned.
"Of course I do, we are technically still married and I still have to talk to him about our divorce".
The next days after the housewarming party and receiving Edward's flowers, I started to settle into the new house and my future plans in my personal life and career. Today was the first divorce session and I was currently in my closet looking for the most appropriate thing to wear for the appointment. It was the first time in more than a month that I was going to see Edward. The tabloids have been crazy, looking for details and information on our separation but this session was going to be top secret. It was going to be so top secret that I was going to be picked up in one car but another car was going to be side by side to confuse the paparazzi.
The meeting wasn't going to be easy to handle but I was going to try my best in acting confident and determined to get this situation done and over with. I decided on a Karen Millen Geometric Broderie Dress that was in white for the top half and black for the bottom and black Scarpin Louboutin heels. I kept my makeup natural with a cat eye and gold tones for my eyes and blush pink matte lipstick and I straightened my hair to place it in a high ponytail. I grabbed my Dior Cruise bag and headed out the door towards the awaited car.
The meeting was going to be held at a conference room, located in a shared company building. The space was approved by the both of us since it was neutral ground for the confrontation.
We arrived at the location and joined my lawyer Frederic in the main hall of the building. We greeted each other and he directed me to the battle field. When he opened the door, there was a huge wooden table. Edward was sitting with his signature business suit and tie with his two lawyers sitting on each side of him. Yes, I said it, two lawyers. I hope Frederic was ready to multiply himself by two. Thank goodness I didn't have to be close to him because my seat was situated on the opposing side.
"Good Morning Gentlemen" Frederic didn't hesitate to formally present himself.
"Good Morning Mr. Rice" they shook hands and he helped me into my chair. "Hello Isabella…" Edward greeted me in the properly custom with a hint of sultry in his tone.
"Good Morning Edward" I made sure to fix my skirt and top before his lawyers started talking. "This is John Brewster, the mediator who is going to make this process go as smooth as possible" I smiled at John in an accepting form. At we weren't going to rip our throats out in arguments.
"Before we start, you have all agreed to come here at our your will to have this conversation in the space?" we nodded. "And you both have agreed to permanently terminating your marriage?" he was reading from his paper files.
"That's where we differ" Edward quickly rebutted his assertion still keeping his eyes on me.
"Do you want to clarify me ?" he lifted his glasses cover eyes in his direction. "Of course, to avoid confusion Mr. Brewster my wife is the one who wishes to terminate. I am in no mood or desire to end our marriage" I fought back on his words. "Edward You knew what my intentions were since May and it's already August, let's not drag it on" I looked at the mediator "Mr. Brewster we've been separate for about a month and I really am motivated to get this done"
"Okay, Mr. Edward your wife is feeling really unhappy with this relationship. Is there any way we can make this divorce transpire with your consent?"
"Yes…On my death bed" he smoothly making my face go red in rage.
"Edward doesn't make this more complicated than it is…"
"Mr. Grimaldi you are aware that California is a no fault state and Mrs. Grimaldi won't need your signature in order to get a divorce and the papers say that she has currently satisfy the jurisdictional requirement of the Court by showing that both of you have resided in the State for at least 6 months prior to filing the petition and in the County for 3 months prior to filing the petition" Frederic made the first jab as my professional help.
"As Mr. Grimaldi's attorneys we are certainly aware of those terms and we are also cognizant that Mr. Grimaldi has responded to the divorce petition so it won't be valid to file a proposed judgment for the court to approve the default procedures such as issues of property division, custody, visitation, and support".
"My client doesn't want to prolong this suffering"
"And my client doesn't want an unconsented divorce if he's suspicious that his spouse isn't sure of what she wants"
"How dare you say that? You think I doubt my choices" I shrieked in resentment. "I don't think Isabella, I know" he responded looking back at the mediator "Mr. Brewster I would be willing to sign those papers and give her every last dime of what I have if she weren't still in love with me as I am of her. The real reason we are here is because her immaturity has made her so blind to consider my apologies and efforts to make our marriage better"
"You lied to me! You made me look like a fool while you were happy as can be strolling with my father's company in your pocket. And I don't want to even mention that woman's name!" I tried to use my softest voice. "I made my mistakes Bella but haven't we all made mistakes. You don't know how much I regret not telling you the situation from the start, I can't turn back time before and after I met you but I can love you and give you everything you need for us to get to that place where you can trust me".
"You have two companies Edward! I always told you to not drain yourself on work but you of course had to put my opinions and wants on the back burner and your self-indulgence got the best of you".
"It's your father's company Bella! I'm trying to save all of his hard work. Efforts that have given you everything you had in life, can't you understand that?"
"I've never been unappreciative of what I've received but for the first time I was going to be selfish with you because I thought we were going to start something for ourselves. I love my family but I wanted us to have our own life without them getting too involved and now I a 24/7 case on my hands"
"You want me to sell my share in order to save our marriage?" he asked pressing his eyebrows together in aversion.
"No! I am not going to ask you to throw YOUR efforts away in order to make me happy. I was being selfish to even ask for it when I shouldn't be like that. I just wanted you to consider me in your choices and trust in me with your life projects just like I've been trusting in you for the past six years. I am resentful and I am not going to hold a grudge, I do want to apologize for some of the choices I've made in order to get my own revenge and for running away from our problems." Wow I can't believe I'm not crying yet. "I want you to be happy and I hope we can make it a mutual emotion".
"We are going to be happy TOGETHER" He vowed.
"I think we should conclude this discussion and continue in our next session. It can maybe give you two the time to think everything over now that you have this fresh information". We both stared at each other and watched our every move, organizing our stuff to leave.
Edward and his lawyers had left and I had said my goodbyes to Frederic encouraged me to move forward and not get disheartened. Before leaving back to the house to stuff my face in a Ben and Jerry's ice cream, I went to the bathroom to freshen up and fix the papers in my bag. I was rummaging in-between the crumpled files when I heard someone walking into the public bathroom. I lifted my head and saw Edward locking the door.
"Edward, what are you doing…?" He didn't pause to rush me and kiss me feverishly. I tried to pull away but the magnetism of the pull and his hands on my neck were obstructing me from doing anything else.
"Tell me you don't love me…" he whispered on my lips roaming to my ear shell. I moaned at the feeling of his hot breath and that's when he quickly took the opportunity to sneak another kiss but with the add-on of his tongue.
The kiss was a passionate fight for dominance that wasn't anticipated and he was using his hands strategically in the right places of my body in order to get a response.
"mmm" I hummed, totally getting lost in the kiss but then realized what we were doing and where we were doing it.
Knock! Knock!
He breaks off the kiss but holds me in place.
"Maintenance!" He yells out.
"Oh okay sorry!" The woman apologized and miraculously accepted the rebuff that from a man in the woman's public bathroom of a corporate building. "Now where we…" he presses his lips back but I pull back again.
"No…" He breathed out after realizing that the moment was ruined.
"Edward we need to stop" I managed to place both of my hands of his firm chest to gain more distance but we were still face to face. "Why did that woman have to knock?" he groaned.
"It's not her fault. We had to stop anyway" I finally got enough space to get myself out of his embrace to get my files and shove them into my bag to make the inconspicuous exit.
"Why?" he walks up to me and wraps his hands on my waist as I'm depositing the files. "Edward…" I protest. I didn't want to cry but here come the water works.
"What?" He takes his sweet time to smell my hair and kiss me on the forehead.
I looked into the mirror since it was the best spot for me to look straight at him without being so close, lips to lips speaking. "We need to stop this" I implored and diverted my head back to my bag since my eyes were turning red.
"Why are you crying love? There's nothing wrong in what we just did. It's a kiss"
"We are getting a divorce Edward. Of course it's wrong! We were talking about it less than 20 minutes ago!"
"Nothing is signed yet" He pouts and puts his head on my shoulder. "Don't even Edward. We now know our mutual thoughts about this and it's time to take the next step into our separation"
"And yet you accept my kisses in a public bathroom".
"I was caught between a wall and your lips. Don't flatter yourself" I was placing the last of my papers in my bag but was suddenly pushed from behind into the sink. A small whimper escaped from my lips since I felt his anatomy against my butt.
"Weird because that's the same response I got from our kiss. I don't take that response somewhat as one of repulsion" He pushes again as I try my best to reject the sensation.
"EDWARD!" I firmly object.
"Bella, don't even try to deny this. What we have between us is never going to go away. I love you and you love me and since you finally admitted that you were escaping from our problems it's time for you to see us in a new light and future" he professed
"I was just saying that to apologize for it. Not for you to think that we still had a chance"
"No. The chance arrived in a moan, a kiss and a tear that showed me that we still have hope. I miss you and I am going to everything I can to get you back" He made that sound like a promise. "I'm going to make incredibly hard for you. I'm not going to be hurt by you again. I suggest you put that energy in work since that's the only thing you have" I raised my eyebrow.
"You try to be a problematic woman amore but I know you by nature and I am always up for a challenge. A man who's remorseful is also an indomitable one.
"Don't send me more flowers or anything Edward. I mean it." I firmly announced. "I needed that kiss for when I am dreaming of you naked and wet on our bed" He boldly confessed.
"Open the door Edward I want to leave"
"Just turn the little knob and you're free but what's your concept of free?" what's up with the philosophical questions, Aristotle? I looked at him once more and stormed out.
Edward Pov
I couldn't leave that session without talking to Bella and I was lucky enough to get a great kiss and a conversation in the public bathroom. I had to get into the mentality that this divorce wasn't going to happen and it was something that Bella was crafting as a security blanket for her not to accept her true feelings. She was scared to forgive me and take me back but I was going to show her it was going to be worth it.
Bella Pov
"How did it go with my brother?"
"He's being difficult and something happened between us in the bathroom" I breathed out in embarrassment.
"Like S-E-X?" she spelt it out because of another person who was present.
"No, it was just a kiss but who kisses their future ex-husband at their divorce settlement" I pointed "Me".
"He kissed you so don't be ashamed of it. He shouldn't have done that"
"I don't know what I'm going to do with him and this divorce could take months or even years if I don't get his full agreement"
"I can talk to him if you want too?" She offered
"No…I'll be fine. I am not going to worry about him today. Aren't we princess!" I was currently at Alice's and jasper's house to pick up Katie
"Yeah!" She excitedly jumped while holding Alice's hand at their front door.
"She's been dying to spend time with you and thank you so much for watching her. Jasper and I are going to be super busy in New York and we won't have time to do anything else but business" she frowned since she couldn't take Claire with her on this trip like she does in the majority of her travels.
"I'm happy to do it and we're going to have so much fun. It's going to be a girl's weekend!"
"A girl's weekend at auntie Bella's new house, are you excited to go to Malibu baby?" she asks her five year old.
"Yes mommy!" She jumps again in place and goes inside the house to drag her little suitcase.
"Okay baby, stay on your best behavior with Auntie Bella and daddy and I will see you on Monday when we get back in two days" she kneels to give her a big hug and a kiss. "Now go get settled in the car while I finish talking to auntie" she listened to her mother and ran to the parked
"Does she get the concept that I'm not with her uncle anymore"
"It's hard for her to understand it in a positive way. She only knows that you're taking a break. I don't want to break the news to her yet because she loves you so much and she I don't think she would want to lose you as her aunt. She cries when she's writing and her A's aren't perfect for crying out load" Katie was a perfectionist just like her father, a quality that Alice had to deal on a daily bases.
"You guys we'll never lose me. It's just going to be an adjustment"
"Well I hope it all works out with Edward. I don't like seeing you both suffer" she hugs me and I reciprocate the action. "Love you" she kissed me on the cheek
"Love you too have a great flight, we'll miss you" I walked back to the car where Claire was already in her toddler seat in the back. I made sure she buckled herself properly and then drove off.
"Are you excited Cuddles?" that was her nickname. "I'M SO HAPPY!" she yells.
"Let's put some Taylor Swift so we can dance while we get home"
We sang during the whole ride and I seriously felt like a kid again singing with her to Love Story.
"Your house is so pretty Auntie Bella. It looks like Barbie's Malibu beach house" I laughed because it was literally like Barbie's Malibu beach house.
"Let's go inside so you can see everything and guess who's here" I opened the door and he face lit up like a Christmas tree. "MILO!" She squeals in delight of seeing her big teddy bear. I had Milo for two weeks as part of my agreement with Edward.
"Yes, Milo is so happy to see you" He was now licking her face and hands. He is so good with kids. "Ha-ha-ha Milo" He stops licking her and drops to her feet.
"C'mon cuddles let's leave your stuff upstairs so change and go hit the water. Milo is getting anxious" I helped her into her bathing and she waited me to change into bathing suit was agent provocateur and consisted in a bright orange and fuchsia bikini.
"That's pretty auntie"
"Thank you cutie but I could never top you" she had an adorable pink turtle two piece. "Let's go auntie. Milo wants to go in the water"
"Okay…let me get the stuff and Milo's ball" I was able to gather everything and held Claire's hand as we went to the patio.
"We are going to leave our towels and stuff here. Let's put on some sunblock since were two milks and we don't want to curd" she laughs "My mommy says that daddy and I look like toothpaste"
"It's because mommy is part Italian and Italian people are naturally tan" I explained while smothering her in lotion. Alice will kill if I get her precious baby doll burnt.
We had so much fun on the beach. We swam, made sand castles and played with Milo with his ball and Frisbee. I noticed that she was getting tired so after almost two hours of fun, we showered and changed into something more comfortable to eat lunch.
"Let's eat up cuddles because we are going to the supermarket to pick up the ingredients for our cookies"
"Cookies are soooo delicious!" she talked with her mouth full.
Cooking had always been my passion but having all of this free time gave me the chance to perfect my skills in every culinary aspect and tonight I vowed to make the best chocolate chip cookies ever. The trip to the supermarket was successful. Maybe too successful since we went a little crazy and bought the Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream to accompany our cookies and popcorn for the movie.
We made it back and with our matching aprons on we started making the pillows of heaven.
"Can I put the chips in auntie?" I look into the stand mixer. "Yes sweetheart, you can put them now" I nod as she pours the whole bag. We were baking and watching Finding Nemo.
My gate alarm rings as I answered it with my non flowered covered hand. It was a man who had a delivery for me. I opened the gates for him to come in.
"Wow! Are they for you auntie Bella?"
"They are for the both of us" I raised my eyebrow as I read the letter that came with the extravagant gift.
I know I have made a ton of mistakes but I would like to put those behind us, if at all possible, so we can move on with the rest of our lives, live on with the good and leave the bad behind us. I know that will be hard, especially after all that I have done, but if we could start all over again fresh from the beginning, I will never hurt you again because I know how much it hurts you now that I have made the mistake which I regret to the fullest. I just want to be happy and I want you to be happy and feel safe that I'm never going to do it again.
I know that it could take forever but I will stake that, especially because of how much I love you and how much this means to me. Bella, if you could please forgive me. You have put too much into the relationship for me to go and screw it up. I just want to make it all right and for you and I to be back together no matter what that takes. I have made it a "shame on him" and I will not make it a "shame on you."
I love you. I will never leave you; I want you, I need you. Mi amore, so please can you forgive me?
E.
P.S: I know Claire is staying with you so I had to send my two girls something.
It was two stuffed animals. A gorilla and an elephant, each holding a bouquet of lilies and a balloon that says I love you. My gorilla was bigger than Claire's elephant.
"Who sent you this auntie Bella?" she questioned me.
"Uncle Edward" I couldn't lie to her.
"Uncle Edward must love you a lot and misses you a lot too" she confessed carrying her elephant to take a closer look at it. I took a glance at the card once more took one deep breath.
"We have to call him to say thank you auntie Bella. Mommy always tells me to say thank you when someone gives you something"
"Of course honey, we'll call tomorrow" Claire was so cute. Not really understanding the truth behind these gifts, at least the truth behind my gorilla. Edward wanted to touch certain places in my heart for me to crack under his spell.
"Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life". Joan Lunden
Uh oh here we go guys…
Edward has started his plan to get Bella back.
Will it work?
What changes will Edward make in his life in order for that to happen?
How will Eva or his future with Parker technologies come to play?
Do you want them to end up together or split?
Many of you have been asking and curious on what will happen with Eva and if she was going to get away with what she has done. The answer to that question is a confident "NO!" and in next chapter you will finally get to see Edward's plans for her.
The chapter was shorter than what I usually upload but I promise you that next week's chapter is going to be so juicy that you will have to plan out your day around it. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Don't forget to voice your opinions, I always take them into consideration when I'm writing and it's always a motivation for me to upload faster.
Love you all!
See you next weekend :)
