Passion Overseas: A Billionaire BWWM Holiday Romance by BWWM Club, J A Fielding, Jennifer Fielding Page A

with Eli and
Erica. She didn’t know why, but she was weak around him. She
had lost all will power to just walk off for some reason. “You
were always working. You were always busy and I had needs…I
had to feel like there was more to me than…” his words
trailed off. She could not believe he was saying this to her, at this
time. That was no excuse. He had his days too when he worked hard and
long hours.
    “ So
cheating on me was the only way you saw out?” she asked as she
shook her head sadly.
    “ Bumblebee,
it was a mistake. I loved you. I still do,” he said. Suddenly,
all the anger she felt, all the emotion she had kept bundled up since
she caught him cheating on her was bubbling to the surface. She
looked at him and there were tears in her eyes.
    “ Well,
I don’t. I’m in love with someone else now,” she
said. He held her face in her hands but she pushed him off. “No!”
she said as she took a step back.
    “ Bumblebee,”
he started but she stepped back again.
    “ Go,
Eli. Just leave before I call the cops,” she said. He shook his
head and held her shoulders.
    “ I
won’t. Not without you,” he said as he looked into her
eyes. Even in the dim light, he could see her beautiful brown tearful
eyes.
    She shook her head.
    “ I’m
not going anywhere with you,” she said as she pulled away from
him again and turned around. She was walking to the entrance when he
held her hand again, holding her back. She dropped one of her boxes
and gasped loudly. It was more of a cry than a gasp really.
    “ Is
everything alright here?” she heard a familiar voice. She
looked up and as if this was some fairy tale or chick flick, Daniel
was standing right in front of her. Her knight in shining armor.
Eli’s grip loosened on Erica’s wrist and she half walked
half ran into Daniel’s waiting arms. He held her tightly,
stroking her hair as she sobbed on his shoulder. “Are you
okay?” he asked as he looked at Eli. The look in his eyes was
cold and hard and God knows he wanted to beat the living hell out of
Eli. She nodded and he pulled away from her. He looked at her and
used his thumbs to brush off her tears. “Yeah? You sure you’re
okay baby?” he asked as he looked at her. She nodded. She was
sure that whatever cake she had in her hand was already ruined but at
that moment, she didn’t really care. Daniel put his arm around
her and looked at Eli. “Who are you?” he asked as he
looked at him.
    “ Eli
Morrow,” Eli said extending his hand. Daniel took a long look
at his hand before he finally stretched out his to shake it.
    “ Daniel
Reese,” he said. “What is going on here? It looks like
you were trying to force my girlfriend into something she didn’t
want,” he said as he took a step towards Eli.
    “ Girlfriend?”
Eli asked as he looked at Erica. “This is my replacement?”
    “ Ah,
so you are the unfaithful ex. We finally meet,” Daniel said.
    “ I
guess it was bound to happen at some point,” Eli shrugged.
    “ And
why is that, is that because you kind of have some twisted idea of
getting back with her or something?” Daniel asked. Erica knew
where this was going. She held Daniel’s hand.
    “ Baby,
let’s just go,” she said in a whisper.
    Eli looked at her and
sighed. “I meant what I said earlier, Bumblebee. I miss you.”
    Daniel forced out a
laugh and shook his head.
    “ You
are a piece of work, aren’t you?” he said as he looked at
Eli. “What the hell is wrong with you? You had your time with
her and guess what, you screwed it up. So do us all a favor and crawl
back to whatever hole you crawled out of,” he added.
    “ Look
man, I don’t want any trouble. I just came out here to talk to
my woman,” Eli said.
    “ Correction,
she is my woman,” Daniel said. Erica looked at the two of them
and tugged at Daniel’s hand. Daniel looked at her and slipped
an arm around her shoulders before he turned around and began walking
with her towards the hotel’s entrance.
    “
