บททั้งหมดของ THE BILLIONAIRE'S ELUSIVE LOVER: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

"Eva, did..." "I flashed your parents" "What?" "I... Oh my God, what will they think of me? Can you call them back so I can apologize? I swear I didn't know it was them. Is there a chance they were your aunt and uncle?" "I'll be right up" he said not wanting her to freak out further. He'd told his mother not to go to his house because Eva was there but she hadn't listened. He got inside the elevator inwardly groaning. They'd seen her. He would never hear the end of it. By the end of the week, all her friends and neighbors would know he was dating Evangeline Becker. After that, it was only a matter of time before everyone knew. The elevator stopped and the door slid open. His eyes went straight to the bag of groceries they'd forgotten. Dear Lord, why had they chosen that day? And why was Eva walking around naked? The surprise. That had to be the surprise she'd mentioned earlier. Picking up the groceries, he punched in the password and went inside. She was pacing back and forth

"You don't look all that pleased to see me" "Should I?" He'd thought it was Eva. Not Alden. "Come on, I've been gone for a month. The least you can do is throw me a welcome back party" "When did you get back?" "Today. I came here first because you're the most important person in my life. You feel the same way about me too. Don't you?" Mason heard what his friend said and he would have given him a witty reply if he wasn't so distracted. All day long, he'd waited for Eva to call or text, thinking that perhaps she needed space. And when she hadn't, he called her wanting to know if she was fine but she wouldn't answer his calls. That pissed him even more because he disliked being in the dark. All she had to do was tell him why she'd left and he would understand. He wasn't about to keep her prisoner in his house. Communication was the key to a healthy relationship. Truth be told, small part of him had started wondering if she was worth the trouble. How long had they known each oth

What was she up to now? At the mention of a cat, she'd known something was up. With the excuse of going home to change, Pippa had quickly left and taken a cab to Eva's house. A cat? She wasn't an animal person. Pets like cats and dogs shed their fur and she wouldn't be caught dead raising one. That had to be code for something. After working for Eva for a few years, Pippa had known to take things as they came. She didn't question or judge anything her boss did. Her job was to help her. It was the reason she'd kept that job for so long. The cab stopped outside Eva's house. After paying the driver, she jumped out and rushed in. Starting from the kitchen, she looked for anything out of the ordinary. Opening and closing cabinets as she went. With Eva, one wouldn't know what they were looking for. If she was really keeping a stray cat, why was there no cat food? Pippa moved to the pantry. Nothing. She went back to the living room, continuing her search. There had to be something. A clue,

"Would you..." He walked away, pretending he hadn't heard her. Sabrina sighed. A week had passed since he caught her breaking into Eva's house and after she'd told him of her suspicions, he hadn't spoken to her again. Every time she tried to start a conversation or ask him something, he would walk away. They slept on the same bed but he came in late and woke up early to avoid her. This was the reason she hadn't wanted to say anything. He got so defensive of Eva that she was afraid of telling him anything. Which made her wonder if they were truly ready to get married. He was supposed to be the one person she could trust with everything but he'd made it clear that there were topics they couldn't touch. How was their marriage going to survive if he refused to listen to her? She wasn't asking him to take her side. All she wanted was for him to keep an open mind. To realize that his niece might not be perfect and that it wasn't his fault. She knew the reason he refused to acknowledge Eva'

"Come on in" she said stepping aside to let her pass "I don't know who is who so you have to identify yourself" "Don't do it!" Rosslyn or was it Eva yelled from the living room "Let them sweat a little" Sabrina huffed. For everyone's peace of mind, she needed to know who was who. They were both in dresses. One blue the other green and their hair, although straight, was styled differently. She tried to guess who was Rosslyn... Or maybe she didn't have to. Pretending to close the door, she quickly took out her phone and called. The one in the living room rang "Gotcha" "That's cheating" Rosslyn complained. She was in a blue wrap dress and heels. For the hundredth time, she wondered why they hadn't gone out. It would have been fun, saved her from cooking -even though she was the one who'd suggested doing it- and it guaranteed her a drama free evening. No one could throw a tantrum or start a fight in public. Both girls had successful careers, with Eva being famous locally and Rosslyn
