Eden got in the car leaving the place next to his for Kalel. Ezra got in the car and took it. Eden ordered:
"Sit in the back."
"I thought we could talk."
"There’s nothing to talk about sit in the back."
Ezra was about to say sothing when Kalel lood over him. He went to sit next to Naomi in the back.
He’s screwed, he’s sure to be eliminated today. The viewers vote at the end of the episode and he knows they’ll show his fight with Eden. He used Dawson as a scapegoat and he knows he’ll fire him from Grey Modeling. No one will hire him again after what he’s done unless Eden speaks on his behalf. He has this weird power over people and he’s the only one who can save him.
Even if he is eliminated at least he wouldn’t get as much hate from the outside if Eden says that he understands why he had no choice but to do what Dawson said. When they arrived the number of people who were usually there doubled. Kalel walked out of the car and gave his hand to Eden. Eden took it with a smile, as they walked people scread their nas excitedly. They all turned around when they heard everyone booing. Their eyes landed on Ezra and before he could react he received tomatoes in his head.
The security surrounded him and they were all rushed inside. In the elevator, Ezra wiped his hair and clothes after a security guard handed him a towel.
"This is fuckin ridiculous I don’t deserve any of this."
Naomi said:
"You’re right you deserve worst."
"You shut the fuck..."
Before he finished Eden had a hand around his throat.
"What did you say?"
Before Eden could choke him for too long security separated them. Ezra coughed uncontrollably. When they walked out of the elevator he swore:
"I’m going to sue you, you son of a bitch."
Eden smiled mockingly.
"You do that."
The judges were stunned to see them like that, you could feel the hostility between all the candidates and Ezra. After all the votes and the judges’ scores, the winner of the new face of Atom’s perfu was Naomi. Eden was actually the winner but he changed the votes in her favor and underperford.
Her being the face of Atom’s new perfu will open many doors for her. Not surprisingly Ezra and another candidate were eliminated. When they were gone they had their fourth challenge. It was a photoshoot in the air, it went well for Eden but it was a ss for Naomi. He’s glad he got her the perfu campaign. The ride back was in silence. When they arrived they showered and got ready for their family mbers who were invited for dinner.
Eden sat on his bed waiting for the feast to be prepared. Naomi entered with a smile.
"Hey.".
"Hey, you okay?"
She took a seat next to Eden.
"I am. I knew I wasn’t going to win the show but I was hoping I would be the face of a huge brand and I am so thank you."
Eden asked confused:
"For what?"
Naomi smiled.
"I know you let win on purpose."
Eden was about to deny but she hugged him.
"Thank you I never thought I would et soone like you here."
She pulled back and smiled when Eden said:
"I didn’t think I’d make a friend either. You’re my first real friend."
Naomi smiled and her eyes moistened. She loves Eden, he was the best part of this show. She knew she wouldn’t win but she wanted to get at least one contract and she did. Atom is a worldwide brand and she’s now the face of their new perfu. She’ll easily get signed to a modeling agency now. She knows she owes it to Eden, the second she saw him she knew he was going to win. He was born to be a model and he excels at everything but yesterday he seed off his ga. She could tell that he underperford on purpose just so she would win the challenge.
She doesn’t mind leaving tomorrow but she’ll miss seeing Eden every day.
"You better stay in touch as soon as the show is done."
Eden smiled.
"I will I promise, we’ll work together."
"Good."
When the alarm resounded she pulled Eden’s hand.
"Co on I want to introduce you to my mother."
Eden followed her and when they arrived downstairs the guests for the evening were there.
Naomi ran to her mother and the other candidate to his. Eden stood in place looking at his mother from afar. When she looked at Eden teary-eyed he rolled his eyes. That woman is so gross. She ran to Eden and hugged him. Eden stayed still his arms at the side of his body. He smiled when he saw his father coming. He pushed his mother and went to him. When he was in front of him he stilled feeling like he looked too eager. To this day having feelings makes him feel odd and shy. Enders smiled when he saw his flushed cheeks and pulled him in his arms. Eden hugged him back with a smile.
Erin looked at Eden with narrowed eyes. She’s glad she made a deal with Astrid or she’ll never get rid of Eden. From what she saw he is sure to win. She has to sign him to Grey Modeling so that when he dies no one will suspect her. She walked to them and smiled shyly at Enders.
"Hello, Enders."
Enders smiled.
"Hello, Erin."
She looked at Eden.
"Can we please talk?"
Eden nodded and walked outside. Erin followed him but looked at Enders one last ti before going. She was pleased to see that he was looking at her as well. He’s still interested in her, she knew all she had to do is smile at him. Eden took a seat around the table near the pool and she sat on his right.
"How are you?"
Eden answered expressionlessly:
"Fine."
Erin looked at Eden attentively, she felt like she would looking at soone else. He always craved her love but at this mont he didn’t seem to care, but when he saw Enders he felt his excitent.
She should focus on getting him to the agency.
"Eden the reason I never signed you at Grey Modeling is that I was afraid Dawson might hurt you. He’ll never lay a hand on you ever again now that he is in prison."
Eden asked:
"Why didn’t they arrest you too you’re an accomplice?"
Erin’s eyes flashed but she forced herself not to insult him.
"The reason I didn’t intervene is that he said that he would kill you."
When she saw that Edens started to believe her she said teary-eyed:
"I always wanted you to be a model like I was but I was so scared Dawson might hurt you."
Eden looked down in silence, she could tell he felt guilty for the cold way he treated her.
"Now that I’m the one running Grey Modeling I thought we could work together."
"Really?"
"Really, will you sign with Grey Modeling?"
Eden smiled and nodded. She could finally feel his excitent.
Eden went back inside and told Enders that Erin wants to talk to him. When he left he walked to Kalel who was sitting alone a the bar. He wrapped his arm around his neck and hugged him. He lost his parents when he was a kid so he doesn’t have any living family since they immigrated when he was five. Kalel held onto his waist.
"I’m okay."
Eden pulled back and said:
"I’m your family now."
Kalel kissed him, if he didn’t love Eden already he would fall for him at that mont. He broke the connexion and his eyes softened.
"You are."
Enders took a seat at the head of the table in silence, Erin seed nervous but he knows her better than that. Her confidence is one of the reasons he fell for her so her shy act isn’t working for him. All those years he believed that the person he thought she was was his soulmate, not the real her. From the mont he found out about all the abuse Eden went through he was done with her.
"I’m sorry Enders, I didn’t want to break up with you but Dawson forced . You know how powerful his family is and I was scared he might hurt you."
"Did he threaten to?"
Erin sobbed:
"He did, I wanted to protect you even if it ant being in a relationship with that monster."
Enders felt like laughing but he said seriously:
"I know that and I appreciate everything you did to keep Eden safe."
At that Erin felt her heart beat faster in excitent, she knew he would believe her.
"Of course, he is our son."
"Eden said that you want him to sign at Grey Modeling?"
Erin nodded.
"I do, It will allow us to spend more ti together."
"I see. I’ve been taking care of his contracts like the one he signed with Fury to be their ambassador. Since Grey Modeling will be representing Eden from now on you’ll have to sign a paper so I can release the contract to you. Do you have the contract for Grey Modeling so Eden can sign it before you leave?"
Erin was surprised but in a good way. She didn’t know that Enders was taking care of Eden’s contract but it does make it better. She didn’t think of having his past contract transferred to Grey Modeling. That way all the money he gets will be going to her even when he died since he already shot the pictures. Plus she knows that Fury pays their models millions because they are a private organization and they have the most famous donors. She’ll be able to have everything ready today like that the day he leaves for ho she’ll be able to have him killed. She pretended to think:
"I think I might have a copy in my bag."
She checked her purse and found a copy. Enders smiled.
"Perfect when we finish eating I’ll tell Eden to sign and you’ll sign the transfer of contracts."
Erin nodded with a smile. When Enders stood up she held his wrist.
"Can we et in private after dinner?"
"I can’t today how about Friday night at my house?"
Erin imdiately nodded and they left to have dinner.
Erin could feel Eden opening up as ti passed and she was glad that she already had a date with Enders. Before leaving Eden signed the contract and she quickly signed the paper Enders presented to her. She didn’t check them but she trust Enders plus it was his idea to have all of Eden’s contract transferred to Grey modeling which ans he trust her. When Eden hugged her goodbye she pretended to tear up and left with a smile.
Once the door was closed, Eden wiped his clothes with disdain. Enders chuckled, and Eden looked at him.
"Thank you for your help father."
Enders caressed his head affectionately.
"Of course son, I’ll do anything for you. I love you."
Eden looked away a little uneasy and he murmured:
"I love you too."
Enders’s eyes flashed with amusent. It’s still funny to him to see soone with such character be this shy when it cos to feelings.
Eden left for his room. Now he finally has everything he needs to destroy his mother thanks to his father. He can’t wait to see her face as he takes everything she cares about. His eyes flash with ruthlessness. After taking a shower he got into bed and not long after Kalel joined him.
Eden woke up in Kalel’s arms, he held him tighter.
"You need to be careful tomorrow."
"I will be."
"They’ll be security everywhere but don’t let your guard down."
Eden t his eyes.
"I won’t I promise."
Kalel kissed his forehead.
"You better, I don’t know how I would survive without you."
"You’ll never have to figure it out I swear."
After showering and eating breakfast the last four contestants left for hotel Atom. As usual, it was packed with fans. They entered after the bodyguards made their way and headed to the top floor. They stood in front of the judges and no one was surprised when Naomi and Kalel were eliminated. Eden hugged them goodbye and the host explained:
"Your last challenge will be a runway show in the famous Bastian’s room of this hotel. You will only be scored by the judges but they will be a lot of spectators and the biggest nas in the fashion industry. What makes it harder is that you two will be the only models on the runway so you’ll only have a couple of minutes to get changed. In the end, the winner will be announced by judge Arnav."
They both nodded and got to work.
After being stuck at the hotel for a day Ezra was happy to be ho. He checked the pile of letters and grabbed the one from Grey Modeling with a shaking hand. When he found out that Erin had turned Dawson in he thought that there was the possibility that she might keep him but it looks like he was wrong. He read the letter and threw it on the floor in anger. That bitch terminated his contract when he is sure Astrid is still signed there. He doesn’t know for sure since she won’t return his calls and he can’t go out without being chased by Eden’s raging fans.
Before he could take everything in soone barged into his apartnt. He felt his heart beating faster knowing why this was happening.
"Ezra Harris you’re under arrest for perjury. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."
Ezra saw no point in struggling, he let the officers handcuff him and got in the police car.
Eden closed Versem with a smile. He’ll let his father decide the fate of Dawson and Ezra in prison. He knows they won’t get out of it alive. By tomorrow, he’ll be done and he’ll be able to start his life. Eden smiled mischievously, tomorrow is going to be so much fun.
