The One Where Eddie Won't Go Novels & Stories

If it weren't for the live stream, they would have wanted to give up. But seeing Lindsay with a bright smile, effortlessly picking peaches, they knew they couldn't lag behind. So, they gritted their teeth and kept going. After a while, Eddy returned from the village store with a few bottles of mineral water for them. Lindsay walked over to take a bottle, looking up at Eddy. "Thank you!" She then noticed that Eddy's forehead was dark, and the area above his temples was turning increasingly darker. Lindsay asked, "Where's your son?"

“Power, probably. Guys like Evan don’t stop once they win. They keep going. Always looking for the next move.” I clenched my jaw. “And I was just a pawn.” “Maybe.” Eddy studied me for a second. “But the question is—what are you gonna do about it?” I let out a bitter chuckle. “What can I do?” Eddy smirked. “Well, for starters, you can stop sitting here looking like you lost everything.” He downed the rest of his drink and stood up. “Come on.” I frowned. “What?” He grabbed his jacket, throwing some cash on the table. “I have a surprise for you.”

Of course, Eddie was only pretending because Eddie knew that Max the cousin was planning to harm Luna and Eddie already had his own plans. "I don't like this," Eddie said to his mom, his voice low. "Something feels off." His mom put a hand on his shoulder. "I know, sweetie," she said. "But we have to trust that everything will be okay." "Eddie, this is a bravery test. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen here. Or do you want to be alone with Luna so you can have sex in the bushes later?" Eddie's aunt teased with that sly smile and Eddie didn't answer.

“And stop hugging around. You will scare people away.” “You didn’t tell me about your girlfriend, Leonard. I would have made this place colorful if I had known. I just wanted to annoy you” Dustin said. Leonard was speechless. He was about to talk when Eddie’s voice came in. “Hi, I’m Eddie and I’m working under Mr Lee. We aren’t…. dating” Eddie uttered with a pursed lips. She didn’t noticed that Leonard’s eyes turned darker as her gaze was only on Dustin who already gave her an unapologetic look.

Maia took the elevator and went upstairs, leaving the men behind. Cedric turned toward Eddie and commented. “Looks like you have a death wish to dare mess with your wife.” Eddie nodded his head nervously. “I think I’m already dead.” Cedric did not reply, as he stepped into the elevator and went upstairs, too. Baz smiled at Eddie as he greeted him. “How can I help you, Baz?” Eddie glanced at Baz as he massaged his temples.

“Too much time. Gone like smoke. I’ll get off the farm one of these days. Oh, yes. Lykous Dorian won’t get the last laugh.” “Who?” Daisy asked as she grabbed him by the shoulders. “Eddie, please, if you need help, just say so. I’m here. I’ll help you.” “The brochure will tell you everything,” Eddie mumbled. Laya reached down and plucked the paper off the ground. Her face scrunched up as she shook her head. “What is this?” “The answer to life’s problems,” Eddie mumbled as panic shot through his face. Melody slipped next to me and leaned in. “Did he just say Lykous Dorian?”

NADIA'S POV The phone slips out of my hand. That’s all it is. That’s the whole terrifying secret behind the silence Ezra must be hearing on his end right now. My palm goes slick with sweat the second I hear the doorknob turn, not open, just turn, someone testing it from the outside, checking if I forgot to lock it — and my fingers just stop working. The phone hits the carpet and slides under the little table by the door and I don’t even go for it. I stand frozen with my back pressed onto the wall and my whole body listening.

I glanced at Lucinda, she looked even paler now, and I wasn't sure if it was the wounds or the fear that had drained the color from her face. The man smirked at us, like we amused him or something. “You’ve got one hour to bring the money to Danny’s warehouse down by the docks. But here's the catch, Michael– you only get to save one of them, the other one dies.” At that moment, Lucinda screamed with every strength she had left. “ Jaxon! Jaxon! Save your wife! Save her! Don't worry about me okay?” The man with the gun turned to her, eyes narrowing. “Shut the f*ck up.”

When Lance finally returned home, he walked into the house a little awkwardly, despite his efforts to look normal. It was still morning and he didn't expect to find anyone at home, but yet, the front door wasn't locked. The TV in the sitting room was also turned on. He grabbed the remote control and turned down the volume, but suddenly, he heard a sound emanate from the direction of the kitchen. Oh, perhaps Mom's taking a day off work, he thought. Turning his steps in that direction, he walked into the kitchen unannounced.

Cassandra flashed him a cheeky grin and turned to go and deal with her sons’ spat, but Sébastien grabbed her wrist and she laughingly fell back as he pulled her onto his lap and claimed her mouth for a kiss. On cue, the two boys forgot all about the rugby jersey and started making loud vomiting noises. “Ew! Gross!” declared Émile as he dragged his younger brother away. “You two better not get all kissy at the match. So not cool, papa!” Cassandra finally pulled away breathlessly and smiled into Sébastien’s face. She imitated Émile. “So not cool, but so much fun.” “Hmm,” Sébastien murmured appreciatively, settling Cassandra into one arm while holding Oona with the other. “Have I told you yet t
