Chapter 76
Hunter’s Boy
Eden’s voice was barely audible, but I could sense the pain and uncertainty in her tone as she spoke.
mom
“Hunter, I…I don’t know if I can do this, it’s obvious that you’re way y out of my league and I cannot contend with your mo and Alexis.
My heart sank, but I knew I had to keep trying, all I needed was for her to agree to be by my side,
“Eden, please, I know that you love me as much as I do love you, please Eden I’m willing and ready to fight for us and that can only be possible with your support, please Eden.”
There was a pause, and for a moment, I thought I’d lost her. But then she spoke, her voice a little stronger.
1 felt a wave of relief wash over me and a glimmer of hope grew in me.
Tm sorry but my life is at risk now, you should get over whatever it is that you feel for me and concentrate on your wedding plans
Her words pierced through me like a sharp dagger I promise, Eden, I will do anything in my power to protect you,
“Eden, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special, I began
1 paused taking a deep breath before continuing.
“But I was already in a situation with Alexis, and I didn’t know how to get out of it. I know that’s no excuse, but I was trying to protect you from getting hurt.” I added.
We talked for a while longer, hashing out the details of our situation
It wasn’t easy, but I knew it was necessary. I was willing to do whatever it took to make things right with Eden, even if it meant facing my mother and Alexis head–on. I’m in.
“With you Eden, I felt a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in a long time,”
Maybe, just maybe, we could get through this together all I needed was to convince Eden.I thought.
I let out a sigh of relief, at least it’s a good thing that she agreed to listen to me, it’s an achievement, I knew I had a lot of fighting to do with my mom and Alexis, and I was willing to do whatever it may take to make things right between myself and Eden
*Eden, 1 panicked when I saw Trevor kissing you at the party, I’m sorry I let my emotions control me,”
I could hear Eden’s silent tears on the other end of the line, and my heart broke all over again.
“Eden, please know that my feelings for you are real. I want to be with you, not Alexis. But my mother…she’s not making it easy for me. She wants me to marry Alexis, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.”
I took another deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts.

“Eden. I need your help. I need you to stand with me against my mother and Alexis. I need you to know that I’m willing to fight for us, no matter what it takes.
I waited anxiously for her response, hoping that she would give me another chance, but in the heat of my wait she hung up the call without a word.

hu, Oct 10
“Hey bro,” Andrew called.
“Any hope!!”
I shook my head with my eyes still looking down at the city skyline through the floor–roof glass window.
“Give her mor
time. I’m sure she will come around.”
“I hope she does. I’m losing it,”
“Ain’t you going to the office today?”
“The office can want.”
“No! No! Not this is no good” Andrew exclaimed.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean you cannot add to everything already happening, by been absent in the office, your mother’s fury sting will be stirred the more, when she finds out that you are absent at the office.”
Suddenly my phone began to vibrate in my hand
“Hello Anty, whatever you have called me this early to talk about, most be serious,”
“Good morning to you too, she replied,
“Good morning Anty, I muttered.
“Whatever you are doing, always put the poor girl’s well being in mind while at that, her emotional well being should be of paramount concem to you,”
“A colleague of mine was the one who told about the outburst at Alexis‘ party, and according to him it’s all over the Internet, that is to tell you how far the news has gone.”
“The Internet?!”
“Yes the Internet, and it’s no good for your company and reputation,” she said.
“I know you love Eden, but then going that far in public was one thing I could swear will not happen, you went to far,”
“I know Anty, and I regret my actions, I panicked and let my emotions controlled me.”
“That colleague of mine sent me short video clip of when Alexis was raining threats on her,”
“He did?!”
“Yes, he did, and it’s not a good one at all, please make sure you get to the root of this mess, before it run out of hand,”
“You don’t need anyone to tell you what your mom can do,”
Yea, Anty, but sincerely right now, I don’t care what my mom will do, all I’m concern with is how to protect Eden,”
“Have a good day and stay safe,” she said and hung up the call.
“What is it about the Internet I heard Anty said?” Andrew enquired.
“I’m not sure but she mentioned that a few video clips from the party are circulating on the Internet,”
