Chapter 64
Eden’s
POV
Trevor noticed my reaction and followed my gaze to Hunter’s table. His expression turned cold, and he tightened his grip on my hand.
“Let’s get a drink, he said, leading me into the lar
As we waited for our drinks, I couldy’t help but steal glances at Hunter, who was sipping from his wine cup, his eyes fixed on me with an unnerving intensity. I felt a shiver run down my spine, and Trevor noticed my discomfort.
Hey, are you okay?” he asked, with a low voice filled with conECED.
I nodded, trying to shake it off, “Yeah, I’m fine.
I’m just a little surprised to see him here, he isn’t the type to be in a bar by this time,”
Trevor’s eyes narrowed. “Do you want us to leave? We can go somewhere else”
I hesitated, unsure of what to do, a part of me just wanted to escape, to avoid the tension and discomfort already rising.
Before I could respond, Hunter got up from his seat and began walking towards us. My heart raced as he approached, his eyes fixed in mine with not a blink away
“Eden” he called, his voice low and husky,
“He..hello sir.” I stuttered.
“You look stunning tonight,
“Thank you sir,”
He looks like he has drunk too much already.
Trevor’s grip on my hand tightened, and he stepped forward, his eyes locked on Hunter.
Hunter smirked, his eyes never detaching from mine, “I just wanted to say hello to Eden,”
I felt a surge of fear and frustration.
Trevor nodded, with his eyes glued on Hunter’s face.
Tll be right back,” he said, releasing my hand he walked away to give us some privacy.
As soon as Trevor was out of earshot, Hunter leaned in close to my ear, his voice low and menacing,
“I love you Eden,” he whispered.
I stood my ground, my heart pounding hard in my chest, with no words coming out of my mouth.
Hunter’s eyes flashed with anger as Trevor approached us
Trevor returned with our drinks. “Let’s s go fin
find a table,” he said, his eyes locked on Hunter’s face.
As we walked away, I could feel Hunter’s eyes on me, burning with intensity.
I felt bad for Hunter knowing that I’m the reason he’s messed up this way, my heart pounds with desire and affection as his

words penetrate into my ear down to my soul.
Maybe my decisions aren’t the right ones after all.
Few minutes after we sat down I still could feel the burning of his looks on my skin.
Agreeing to come out for this drink with the hope that it will help distract me from all the happenings turns out not to be good.
The anger I saw in Hunter’s eyes when Trevor held my hand was a dangerous one. I know how jealous Hunter can be, and on several occasions he has reacted with jealousy to the sight of Hunter around me
“What exactly am I doing?” I asked in my head.
I gulped down a full glass of drink down my throat in frustration
“Are you okay” Trevor said, breaking the silence between us.
“Yes, I’m okay.”
you don’t l
don’t look like you’re okay, I totally understand the feeling of been in the same bar with your boss.”
He noticed my discomfort and the tension rising within me.
Uhmm… I sighed heavily:
“We can go to a different bar if you aren’t comfortable here, or would you rather we buy a few bottles and go home with it he suggested with so much concern in his tone.
The second part of his suggestion sounds like a perfect one but at the same time I was confused whether by home he means
mine or his
As much as I want to go away from Hunter’s sight, I still don’t want to be alone with Trevor in a room because in these vulnerable times in my life I can do what I will regret tomorrow
I shook my head, “no, we can stay here.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I nodded to assure him:
“So, did I tell you about the clothes and how it fits perfectly on me?” I tried to act cool.
“No you didn’t, but I know it will fit you so well,”
“You seemed to be so sure of yourself?”
“Uh humm… I have a good eye when I see what will fit you I know it even without you wearing it on,
“1
most say you are a genius at that because the gown fits perfectly on me and the necklace were complementary to the off
shoulder,”
x up in pride.
“I know right,” he said, raising his shoulders up
“Lobss,”
“Why are you laughing?”
“Nothing, you just don’t look good putting on the garment of pride.”

Trevor chuckled and shook his head. “You’re something else, Eden, which one is the garment of pride!”
I smiled as we talked more. feeling a bit more at ease. But my eyes kept drifting towards Hunter’s direction.

Trevor noticed that my attention was still divided. His expression turned serious again. “Don’t worry about him, I’m sure he knows that despite been his employee, you’re also an adult with the sole right to make choices,”
“So I don’t think it’s as serious as you’re taking it to be, so please chill,”
I nodded, trying to focus on my conversation with Trevor. But couldn’t shake off the feeling of being trapped, like I was stuck in a web of secrets and hes.
As the night wore on, Trevor suggested we dance. I hesitated at first, but he reassured me, “You’re safe with me,”
As we danced, I felt Hunter’s eyes on me, burning with intensity but I tried to ignore him, focusing on the music and Trevor’s gentle guidance as we danced.
But just as I was starting to relax, Hunter appeared beside us, his eyes flashing with anger.
Trevor stepped forward, his eyes locked on
Hunter’s face..
Hunter’s face twisted in rage, and for a moment, I thought he was going to punch at Trevor’s face. But then, his expression changed, and he smiled, a cold schile.
Good night Eden,” Hunter said.
My eyes opened wide in surprise because I was expecting a totally different reaction.
“Good night sir,”
And with that, he turned and walked away with Andrew right behind him, leaving me feeling shaken and vulnerable.
Trevor noticed my distress and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close.
“Hey, are you okay?” he asked, his voice soft and concerned.
I nodded, trying to hide my feelings, but I knew deep within me that I’m not telling the truth.
“I need to sit down, can I get a bottle of water please?” I said with a cracky voice.
“Yea, why not? Sit down here while I get you the water,” he slowly directed me into a nearby seat.
I quietly sat down searching my thoughts for comfort and calm
“Here is the water,” he handed the bottle of water to me.
“Thank you.”
I fixed the bottle to my mouth and gulped down its entire content
Whoa, take it easy,”
“I didn’t notice I was this tasty,”
“It’s getting late, let’s get going right?” he said.
Sounded like the best words I have heard throughout the day, because all I needed right now is an

“Well not as I wanted to but it was cooland I understand,” he said with sincerity.
“I’m sorry but I promise to make it up to you?”
“It’s okay

I stepped out of the car
“You’re forgetting this.” he waved my purse
“Yea I totally forgot about that
He handed over the purse to me..
“Thank you”
I went into my apartment straight into my bed and let out a very loud sigh of frustration
