FIXATION

Chapter 29

Ross POV

I was getting ready for my showdown meeting with Stoner. It was almost 5 pm and I was home getting ready. Stoner said that if I didn't show up at our meeting place that he would show up here. I didn't want him or his group of thugs anywhere near my house or near Eden.

It took about 2 hours for me to get ready and settled. For the very first time in all my time being alive, I can honestly say I was a bit nervous. But not for me. I was nervous about never seeing Eden again. Maybe Stoner had something up his sleeve.

Maybe he was planning on kidnapping me or something and taking over my business. Or killing me even. I had no idea what to expect from a man like him. I was going to go because I didn't want him showing up here causing problems and trouble for me and my love.

Once this Stoner thing was done I would marry Eden and perhaps take her to live somewhere else. Maybe we can live somewhere in Europe or Asia. Get away from here. A fresh new start for both of us. That sounded pretty amazing. Sometimes leaving for a new place can help greatly. Starting over. I was looking forward to it and to starting my life with her as her husband.

All my thoughts got interrupted when I saw her walking in my room and closing the door.

She had a worried expression on her face.

"Eden, is everything okay?" I asked standing up from my bed. I was sitting there just deep in thought.

"Hi, " she said.

"What are you doing here at this time?" I asked.

Before she answered I got a text. I looked at my phone.

"Eden is on her way. I told her that you had to talk to her about something extremely important. I warned you, Ross, I wasn't messing around. You know me better than that. If you don't tell her right now I will!"

   -Olivianna

Hell!!! Damn Olivianna I should had made her disappear without caring two shits for her!. Why did everyone else deserve to be happy and I freaking didn't!?

"By the look in your eyes that text seemed to really make you uncomfortable are you okay?" She asked.

I was breathing hard. Olivianna would make good on her promise to tell her everything and at that moment against everything I love I thought that is best if she hears it from me.

"Eden, sit down, or if you stand, lean on something, please."

"Olivianna said that you had something extremely serious to tell me..."

"Please don't...don't mention her name," I said slowly and breathing heavily.

"What is going on?"

"Eden, please...just sit down"
I said.

"I rather stand," she said. Of course defying me still.

"I...I don't know where to start"

"Ross, please don't tell me you are sick"

She said with tears starting to come down her beautiful face.

I felt sick.

"It is something pretty serious" I said again breathing hard.

"You are scaring me, Ross, just tell me"

I took a deep breath and paused for a moment. I thought about the many different ways I could tell her but there was no good way. What I had done was bad whatever way I chose to say it and I was literally at her mercy for forgiveness.
